State banquet chef Chen Ye was unexpectedly reborn and returned to Huangtupo in 1974. He became an educated youth sent to the countryside who was bullied and hungry to the point of high fever.
There is no system and no space. He only relies on his superb cooking skills to gain a foothold.
Unpalatable whole grains and ordinary wild vegetable leftovers can be turned into fragrant meals with his skillful cooking.
He accepted the lonely orphan Xiao Shitou as his disciple. This child was humorous, bold and loyal to him, and the master and apprentice depended on each other.
Master and apprentice join forces to defeat villains, fight for the best, earn work points, rely on their craftsmanship to take over banquets, and save food stamps and savings bit by bit.
Su Qinghe, a female educated youth in the same team, has a kind and tenacious character. They cherish each other and protect each other in hard times.
Faced with the schemes of the educated youth and the jealous and obstructive efforts of the villagers, Chen Ye would never hold back when things happened, and he would fight back when he needed to.
Life in Huangtupo is hard, but the fire in the stove never stops and the fireworks last forever.
Masters and apprentices started from scratch, kept their good friends, fought till the end of the night, and amidst the tide of the times, they worked hard step by step to build their own perfect lives.
