Reborn in the Red Star Siheyuan, Xu Damao is no longer the little projectionist who could only show movies and was always overshadowed by Silly Zhu.
In his past life, he was a pushover, mistreated and controlled by everyone in the courtyard, leeched off by Qin Huairu, and bullied by Silly Zhu. This time, he changes course completely.
Armed with top-tier cooking skills, he starts out as a cafeteria cook and makes a name for himself with his signature dishes.
The aroma of his cooking travels for miles, his skills leave the whole courtyard in the dust, his salary doubles, and his status soars. Wherever he goes, he’s treated like an honored guest.
Silly Zhu wants to compete in cooking? He gets crushed.
The Jia family wants to guilt-trip him? No chance.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui want to throw their weight around as neighborhood elders? He won’t cater to them.
In this life, Xu Damao doesn’t go looking for trouble, but he isn’t afraid of it either.
He becomes a master chef through his culinary skills and earns his fortune through his own abilities.
With a lovely wife by his side and a life full of prosperity, everyone in the siheyuan can only look up to him!
