A bowl of pickles reveals the desperate rebirth of women in the wave of layoffs in the 1990s. Forced by her own mother to marry a fool in exchange for a betrothal gift, and her younger brother stealing a secret recipe and selling it to her uncle, Lin Zhixia broke off the relationship by overturning the table, and relied on her ancestral intangible cultural heritage skills to rise from a vegetable market stall to being the leader in the province. Every time a store is opened, a top villain is slapped in the face - the top villain's repeated entanglements and the heroine's steady counterattacks are intertwined into a high-density excitement. This is not a purely gourmet article, but a growth epic that describes how the women at the bottom of that era regained their destiny step by step and proved that "no one can starve to death with their craftsmanship and backbone."
