Qian Huang's husband was paralyzed due to a work-related injury. Her husband's family forced her to give up her canteen job to her cousin Su Mingxiu, but she took the cooking test back to take her job back. Faced with the shortage of ingredients in the cafeteria, the difficulties of her colleagues, and the schemes of her husband's family, she relied on her family's skills to make delicious side dishes from wild vegetables such as Malantou and chrysanthemum brains, improved the fragrant lion's head with tofu and rice, and stewed ordinary ribs to give a mellow taste. She secretly saved food stamps to exchange for food ingredients to replenish her husband's health, and won the approval of the factory leaders with her "specially customized" sick meals. Su Mingxiu spread rumors that she was "abusing power for personal gain". She showed her account books and skills in public, and conquered the audience with a pot of sweet and sour noodles. Her husband's family wanted to steal her pension, but she relied on the testimony of her canteen colleagues and her own savings to fight back. In the end, she became the chef of the cafeteria, took care of her whole family, and impressed those who had ridiculed her.
