Zhao Mian, a Buddhist young man who never wakes up, lives by relying on heirloom recipes left by his ancestors and an old pot. His life creed is "never sit up when you can lie down, never wake up when you can sleep". He has no pursuit of fame and wealth, and just wants to eat in his small noodle shop and wait until death.
However, fate did not give him peace of mind. The producer of a popular food variety show "Star Chef Competition" happened to eat his face and forced him to join the show as an amateur contestant. In the show, celebrity chefs from all walks of life competed in the show, dazzling the audience with their flashy molecular cuisine, fancy plating techniques, and dazzling cooking performances.
Zhao Mian was sleepy throughout the whole process and was treated as cannon fodder by everyone. Until the first episode of the program was broadcast, he cooked a bowl of Yangchun noodles, which made the judges cry on the spot. The whole Internet searched for this "sleeping chef".
At the same time, a mysterious organization began to focus on Zhao Mian - his ancestral recipes contained the lost inheritance of the divine chef, and an old pot turned out to be the legendary "Five Flavors Cauldron". When all forces tried to force him out of the mountain, this greedy salted fish was forced to embark on the road to the top. What he doesn't know is that a bigger conspiracy is brewing behind the scenes...
