Lan Yun, a good-for-nothing cook who runs a stall at the night market, talks nonsense all day long while holding a lollipop in his mouth. His specialty is mixing rice with his ex's tears. Three years ago, he was framed by his colleague Zhou Yan and his reputation was ruined. He could only hide in the night market and pretend to be stupid. But his skill in cooking a bowl of instant noodles could not be hidden after all - men in black poured excrement water on him, anti-fans surrounded him all over the network, and the invitation to the God of Cooking competition was directly slapped in his face. What's even more outrageous is that an old man named Lao Bai, who can smell the origin of ingredients, suddenly appeared next to him. Retired e-sports girl Xiao Jiao took a kitchen knife and asked to be her apprentice. Even the mysterious woman who ate "the bitterest dish" handed over a note: See you in the God of Cooking arena in seven days. Lan Yun originally wanted to continue pretending to be useless, but Zhou Yan's grandson was too useless, so he had no choice but to form a team to fight. But he doesn't know that behind this arena lies the truth about his mother's disappearance, and a mysterious organization called "Shiying Pavilion", waiting for him to fall into the trap.
