Synopsis

【Period Setting + System + Delicious Food + Entrepreneurship + Taking Down Scumbags】 When she opens her eyes, a state banquet chef has become Shen Jingshu, a young factory worker in the 1980s. Her own mother wants to sell her off in exchange for her brother’s iron rice bowl, while her younger brother scolds her: “You should be sacrificing yourself for the family.” Shen Jingshu calmly serves up a bowl of plain noodles, makes the whole family drool, then slaps down her ledger. “You raised me for twenty years. I repaid you with seven years of backbreaking work. From today on, we’re even!” Armed with the culinary skills she honed in her previous life and her newly bound Food System, she heads straight into the bustling alleyways. The aroma of a single fried dough stick wafts halfway down the street. One spoonful of chili sauce drives the whole factory workforce wild. Lines at her roadside stall stretch all the way to the entrance of the state-run restaurant. Her neighbors are stunned. “The roujiamo this girl makes tastes better than the state-run restaurant’s!” The officials are desperate. “Comrade Shen, come work in our canteen. Name your terms!” Her rivals are dumbfounded. “How can a street vendor steal the business of our century-old brand?” Shen Jingshu rises from a snack stall to a private dining restaurant, from a self-employed vendor to the chairwoman of a food group. Those who once looked down on her now can’t even book a private room, no matter how much money they offer. Then the stern, imposing military officer who once appeared in the newspapers is photographed helping out in her kitchen, wearing an apron. The whole city is in an uproar. But in front of the cameras, the man stuffs his bankbook and medal of honor into her hands. “Wife, here’s my salary. Can I order something tonight?” Later, the bizarre family who once tried to force her to marry a cripple trembles at her door, holding out an empty bowl. “Jingshu, your mother was wrong... Could you spare us a bite to eat?” Shen Jingshu wipes down the gleaming counter and looks up with a faint smile. “This shop has one rule: pay first, eat afterward.” “Even your own mother is no exception.”
