Back to the 1980s: One Pot of Braised Food Feeds the Whole Family

Only when he was on the verge of death did Chen Lidong realize that the wife and children he'd spent half his life protecting at the cost of everything he had were deceiving him from the very beginning. The old house was sold, his sincere love misplaced, and the person he'd once let down had long since moved on.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the 1980s. His marriage had yet to be settled, and his braising pot had yet to be lit.

This time, he called off the engagement first and set up a stall. Starting with braised eggs and dried tofu, he moved on to pork offal and pig's head. While everyone else was still puzzling over a few common spices, he'd already simmered years of learned skill into his braising broth. The spiritual spring in his ancestral jade pendant added extra freshness to the ingredients, and the pocket dimension he later unlocked gave him the means to build a home and start a business.

The stall became a shop, and the shop grew into a factory. Chen Lidong wanted more than just to feed his family. Given another chance at life, he would use his own abilities to build a family business and win back the love he'd once missed.

This time, he and Xu Wanhe would walk forward side by side. Their life began with a pot of braised food, and ahead lay new shops, new factories, and the bustling warmth of a family together.
