After her mother-in-law, Zhou Guilan, smashed Lin Yue's clay pot, Lin Yue didn't cry or make a scene. Instead, a single bowl of clay-pot baked pumpkin won over the neighbors on the whole street. Zhou Guilan discovers that overnight, everyone has started avoiding her. Even the old man selling vegetables refuses to sell her scallions. Zhao Dehai, the neighborhood committee director, wants to take the opportunity to hold a food festival, while Wang Xiumei, the grocery store owner, secretly stirs up the boycott. Lin Yue's best friend, Su Xiaowan, helps turn her clay-pot dishes into a viral video. When her mother-in-law finally admits she was wrong, Lin Yue makes an even more astonishing demand: Zhou Guilan must learn to cook an entire New Year's Eve feast in a clay pot. And so begins a fiery battle of food, dignity, and reconciliation.
