Ye Yuer is a young chef. One day, his master sends him down the mountain to gain experience in the city. He’s so broke he can hear the coins rattling in his empty pockets, and might end up sleeping on the street at any moment.
While passing a variety show, he gets grabbed by the casting director and recruited as a contestant.
Ye Yuer: “Do you cover food and lodging?”
Casting director: “Yes.”
Ye Yuer: “Okay, I’ll do it!”
Ye Yuer decides to risk his neck for the money and get food and lodging by joining the show.
Then he discovers that it’s actually a cooking competition.
Cooking 101 is a cooking competition jointly organized by the culinary world, with the aim of making the hottest young chef a star.
Notable figures from all walks of life send their most accomplished disciples, each convinced they can take the top prize.
At first, when a delicate-looking fourteen-year-old boy becomes a contestant, nobody sees him as a serious rival.
Ye Yuer’s first day in the competition:
“Why is there a fourteen-year-old kid among the 101 contestants? Did the production team bring him in to make up the numbers?”
Ye Yuer’s seventh day in the competition:
“Yuer, Yuer, I love you! I’ll never judge people by their looks again!”
Ye Yuer’s twenty-seventh day in the competition:
“Papa Fish, hurry up and cook! I’m used to watching you show off your skills on the show!”
Ye Yuer’s sixty-seventh day in the competition:
Ye Yuer lifts the championship trophy from the winner’s podium. It belongs to him.
