Modern chef Gu Chaoxi accidentally traveled to ancient times and became a 13-year-old peasant girl whose parents had died and who was living with her 6-year-old brother. Relying on her cooking skills and the "cooking space" hidden in an inconspicuous old wooden hairpin, she and her younger brother separated from relatives and started from scratch. From a small vendor to a big shopkeeper, she eventually became a female chef. A woman's path to independence does not rely on men or luck, but on the sweat in front of the stove and the frying spoon in her hand.
