In the winter of 1977, Su Wanwan was reborn before the turn of fate. Facing her aggressive relatives and her dying younger brother, she tore up her vampire engagement and clenched the kitchen knife in her hand. Starting with a bowl of Lingquan wontons, she set up a food stall on the streets of the county town. The aroma conquered her taste buds and attracted the first noble person.
She formed an alliance with Lu Lin, a silent and cold-blooded retired military officer. The pushcart turned into a private restaurant, the "boiled cabbage" amazed everyone, she was honored as the provincial champion, and Tsinghua Garden opened its door to her. And the family injustice that Lu Lin had been burdened with was quietly vindicated with the changing times.
Entering Beijing is a new battlefield. In the courtyard, the "Wanji" flagship store is famous in Beijing; in the Tsinghua classroom, economic principles illuminate the business blueprint. She turned the art of her tongue into knowledge and used her kitchen knife to expand her industrial territory. He faded away his scars, regained his glory in the military, and became her most solid backing. The younger brother Xiangyang has also grown from a young child in need of protection to a teenager aspiring to business.
From the life of setting up a stall to the initial exhibition of the catering group's blueprint, from being bullied by others to being respected by all walks of life as a husband and wife. Su Wanwan used delicious food and wisdom to create a hot and practical era. When they embraced each other under the moonlight in the capital, they looked back on their journey - all the hunger, hardships and choices they had gone through had become the only way to reach each other and create a bright future together.
This is an affectionate story about food, entrepreneurship, knowledge changing destiny, and mutual redemption. Watch how the heroine, with a spatula and a pen in hand, cooks all the flavors of life in the turbulent late 1970s, and wins both career and love.
