Xu Huaijin, a worker in a large factory, has been working hard for many years. A layoff email caused him to fall from his cubicle into unemployment overnight. When I woke up from a hangover with a burning stomach, I was dragged by Fa Xiao to eat a bowl of wontons, which was when I hit a fork in my life. His savings could not cover his housing loan, and his resume was in ruins. At the age of thirty, he knew for the first time what it meant to be desperate.
Jiang Chenyu is the owner of a wonton shop. His parents died unexpectedly when he was in his second year of high school. He dropped out of school to take over the small shop. He started by kneading dough and rolling dough by himself, and turned it into a Nanjing signature. The wonton shop was his life and the only thing left by his parents. He kept the recipe locked in his heart for more than ten years, and he didn't even teach it to his closest associates.
The two formally met in a gay bar, and their secrets were revealed. Jiang Chenyu took in the desperate Xu Huaijin and taught him step by step how to mix stuffing, roll out dough, and make soup. He also told him half-life stories hidden in the wontons. Days and nights in front of the stove, the smell of chopped green onions and the heat of bone soup slowly simmered the two hearts together.
As soon as life looked promising, the demolition notice for the old store arrived. That was the starting point that Jiang Chenyu had guarded all his life. On the evening when the signboard was taken down, he sat on the ladder holding the old wood and stared blankly. Xu Huaijin was holding the ladder underneath, raising his head, and stayed motionless until dark.
One has lost his job, and the other is about to lose his starting point. The two of them are fishing for each other in a bowl of scalding wontons.
