Song Wan is a sous chef at a three-star Michelin restaurant in Haicheng City. He has been in the industry for ten years. His spoon is as steady as a machine and his cooking accuracy is down to the second.
Then she was fired.
Reason? Chef Chen Rui said it very bluntly: "You are a woman, that's the reason."
The night she walked out of the restaurant, she was hit by an electric takeaway car. When she woke up again, she saw a firewood shed, coarse clothes, and hands full of chilblains - she was dressed as A Wan, the fire-burning girl of Zuixian Tower in Tianjing City. She signed a three-year death contract and was being punished for contradicting the steward.
The good news is: the stove is still there, the pots are still there, and the fire is still there.
She is also a cook.
A bowl of noodles mixed with scallion oil made the kitchen manager change his taste on the spot; a dish of "water cabbage" made Su Shi put down his chopsticks and be silent for a long time, and ordered her dish on the spot: "From today on, I will cook your dishes."
Overnight, the fire girl became famous in Tianjing.
But fame brings hostility. Chef Liu Sanniang regarded her as a deviant, and there was an undercurrent in the kitchen. An inexplicable fire pushed her to the forefront. Song Wan left Zuixianlou and went to the Huixianlou at the end of the alley, which was about to close down. The shopkeeper, Zhao Yunrang, was lazy and dishonest, but he said, "When you come to my store, you have the final say on what you want to cook. If you make an equal share, any loss is mine."
She stayed.
Then she discovered that this lazy shopkeeper didn't seem to be that simple. In the back kitchen of another restaurant in Tianjing, there was a person waiting for her - she knew that face.
