During the Republic of China, great-grandfather Shen Wanzhong made his fortune by relying on an ancient coin called Double Dragon Playing Pearls, which connects ancient and modern times, and became the richest man in Jinzhou City. During the war years, the seven children went overseas. Only the timid younger son Shen Demao stayed in his hometown and guarded this secret throughout his life.
Shen Demao's only daughter Shen Mingzhu was doted on and married to a poor boy Shen Jianguo. Unexpectedly, after the death of her parents, Shen Jianguo cheated and occupied the real estate, and the mother and daughter left the house. Shen Xiaonian took his mother back to the dilapidated ancestral home left by his great-grandfather, and accidentally triggered the ancient coins on the Eight Immortals' table, and found that he could sell modern items to Lin'an Mansion in the Southern Song Dynasty.
A bag of rice worth thirty yuan was sold in Lin'an Mansion for more than one tael of silver; a crystal necklace worth four hundred yuan was exchanged for fifty taels of silver. Shen Xiaonian got acquainted with the shrewd innkeeper Zhao Mengshi, hooked up with Mrs. Tongpan, and gradually established a foothold in the Song Dynasty. At the same time, the scumbag father Shen Jianguo set his sights on the ancestral home, and the mother Shen Mingzhu finally told the truth - my grandfather was not a coward, but spent his whole life acting as a coward to protect this secret.
From condiments to daily necessities, from food business to people management, Shen Xiaonian and his mother moved between ancient and modern time and space, which not only made his father regret his mistakes, but also unveiled a family legend that spans a century. And behind all this, a mysterious force called the "Ancient and Modern Trade Interconnection Plan" is quietly watching every move made by the descendants of the Shen family.
