After a car accident, Cheng Haiyang returned to the spring of 1993.
In his previous life, his father went south for work and broke his leg, his mother’s health was ruined by years of hard labor, and his academically gifted younger sister secretly changed her college entrance exam choices. He had spent half his life struggling, burdened by regrets.
Reborn, he faced a family grocery store on the verge of bankruptcy, relatives showing up to demand repayment, and competitors closing in at every turn.
Riding the wave of the era as ration coupons were abolished, he revived sluggish inventory and broke into the market with a jar of tangy, spicy, crunchy pickles.
From a little shop at the end of an alley to a wholesale network across the towns, from a family workshop to a modern factory, he relied on the taste of good food to support his family and build his own food industry empire.
