Zhuzhu, originally a soul pearl bred from a thousand-year-old clam in Hepu, was frightened by famine during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Once it traveled to modern times, it was picked up by Uncle Wangzai and Aunt Lan who were driving to the seaside in Yantian, Gongguan Town.
This "ancient foodie" who emerged from the legend of "Pearls return to Hepu" broke into the Fan family in the 21st century with a mind full of old rules: "Sacrifice to the Pearl God" before eating, perform "Hepu ancient rituals" when meeting people, and regard shared bicycles as "iron horses and mythical beasts". He is either making a joke or is on the way to making a joke. The eldest daughter Tingting and the youngest daughter Lingling became her "best friends and translators", while the youngest son Xiao Ming was her "best partner in taking the blame" when she got into trouble, and the family's daily life began.
From the braised pork noodles in Gongguan Town to the oyster fat in Shankou Town, from the sweet chicken dung and vines in Lianzhou Town to the fresh sea duck eggs in Shagang Town, Zhuzhu followed a few people to travel to various towns in Hepu, and encountered numerous "ancient pearl etiquette" and modern life during the foodie journey. Funny points: When learning to make sago rice in Qianjiang Town, I sprinkled starch as "fairy powder" all over the stove; when picking lychees in Quzhang Town, I hugged a century-old tree and called "ancestor of the Pearl Tree"; when watching the old stage in Shikang Town, I knelt down and cheered Cantonese opera as a "Poseidon Ceremony"...
Through the resolution of embarrassments and the atmosphere of fireworks, Zhuzhu slowly understood the workers, farmers and business travelers in Hepu: he saw the assembly line of the mooncake town, walked through the ancient docks of the Maritime Silk Road, tasted the specialties of each township, and fell in love with the liveliness and excitement of this city.
