Lu Zhiqing is reborn on New Year's Eve, the night her grandmother sold her to an old bachelor in exchange for grain. She has no spatial realm and no System, only a pair of deft hands that can taste the flavor of anything they touch.
In her previous life, Lu Zhiqing was sold to the old bachelor and spent her whole life in misery. Lu Mingcheng had his leg broken, and her little sister, Lu Mingyue, was sold to distant relatives as a child bride. Unable to endure it, she jumped into a river and drowned.
After being reborn, Lu Zhiqing secretly vows to make sure her younger siblings never go hungry. Starting out in the production team's communal canteen, she uses her golden finger to sense the best way to cook whatever she touches, and lands a job as a kitchen helper. Along the way, she takes on a starving, dizzy educated youth sent down to the countryside as her apprentice.
From the stove to the dining table, from the countryside to the county seat, she uses a wok spatula to stir-fry her way into building a food empire of her own.
