After the business tycoon Lu Chenzhou went bankrupt, he took his taciturn daughter Linglong back to the century-old shop "Zhiweixuan" in his hometown town that was on the verge of bankruptcy. He just wanted a place to stay, but unexpectedly discovered that his daughter Linglong was not autistic, but had a magical talent - she could see and understand the language of the "food elf". The little briquette elf dozing on the cold stove, the pitch-black child swimming in the soy sauce vat, the snow-white elf dancing on the flour bag... These wonderful beings who quietly became spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China became Linglong's only friends. For the sake of his daughter's smile, Lu Chenzhou put aside his past glory and put on an apron. From then on, the dilapidated old restaurant began to smell incredible aromas: the Yangchun noodles that reminded people of first love, the osmanthus cake that cured insomnia, and the Buddha jumping over the wall that resolved heart knots... Behind every delicacy that heals people's hearts is the collaboration between the father and daughter and the elves. When the tentacles of capital extended to the town again, trying to seize this miracle, Lu Chenzhou stood in front of the "Zhiweixuan" where visitors came again like clouds, holding a pot and spoon, guarding not only the family's inheritance and the secrets of the elves, but also the bright stars in his daughter's eyes that were finally ignited by love and fireworks.
