A pot of old stew, half a lifetime of craftsmanship; six heirs, a century of Sichuan flavor.
Zhang Chuan, a stubborn Sichuan cook who makes a living by selling red oil on a tricycle in a village in the middle of Dongguan City, just wants to keep the old stove left by his father. Under the demolition order, he stubbornly lit the "24-hour" lights on the ruins, guarding not only the stalls, but also the roots of his sense of taste in a foreign land.
By chance, a remnant monument of "Chen's Sichuan Flavor" was discovered deep in the construction site, which revealed the secret of the southward migration of "Weipu Zhai" a hundred years ago. A jar of old salt water originating from Chengdu and raised for decades has become the key to the inheritance.
In order to rebuild the "general furnace", Zhang Chuan started teaching classes with unconventional methods: building the stove in the heavy rain, blindfolding the materials, and the knife skills were only finished after seeing blood...
Intention: What rekindles the ruins is not only the stove fire, but also the tenacious watchfulness of people's roots and taste in the wandering era. It is the hot life gained by the inheritance of craftsmanship that resists time and forgetfulness.
