Ma Siji, a game anchor who stayed up late to live broadcast in a rental house, woke up and became the son of a slave in Chang'anxi City, the first year of Zhenguan.
The beginning was hell - he was a slave, his family was destitute, his mother was seriously ill, and his only asset was half a bowl of moldy corn porridge. But Ma Siji found that he still had fragments of modern knowledge in his mind: coarse salt purification, fermentation and sauce making, war horse nutrition, accounting and literacy...
When fate only dealt a bad hand, he used a bag of salt to tear open a hole.
From the slave who set up a stall selling salt in the Western Market, to the legendary chef who conquered Li Shimin's taste buds with "meat, eggs, onions and chicken" in the back kitchen of the Qin Dynasty; from Teacher Ma who taught soldiers how to count and read, to the chess player who was involved in the power vortex on the eve of the Xuanwu Gate Incident - he just wanted his mother to drink a bowl of hot porridge without sand, but unknowingly, he changed the way of life of an era.
Use delicious food to open the door of destiny, and use knowledge to light up the grassroots.
This is a little man's counterattack to survive in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a grand adventure about dignity and choice.
