Su He is guarding a century-old braised pork stall in a Beijing alley that has been in dire straits, facing the pressure of urban transformation and rejuvenation of tastes. Jiang Heng, a popular chef with a poisonous tongue, landed in the Beijing circle and became a top celebrity. As fate would have it, Su He's mysterious bowl of braised stew makes Jiang Heng "really delicious". His Michelin-starred chef grandfather, financial upstart cousin Lin Chen, catering tycoon daughter Zhou Miao (second female) and intangible cultural heritage experts have all become loyal fans of the stall. Su He and Jiang Heng went from fighting each other to joining forces to promote "time-honored brands". At the same time, Lin Chen approached Su He in order to secure a small Hutong warehouse as an investment base, but he did not get acquainted with Zhou Miao, who was arrogant and contemptuous of Su He at first. As a catering giant, Zhou Miao's family is also eyeing the secret recipe of braised pork. Lin Chen deals with it and is gradually attracted by the contrast between Zhou Miao's professionalism and arrogance. The four of them fell into multiple storms including capital marriage (the family brought together Jiang Heng and Zhou Miao), hostile takeover (the fast food giant teamed up with other forces to suppress braised pork stalls), and secret battles over the declaration of intangible cultural heritage. In the end, in the live showdown of "Michelin VS Market God", traditional braised cooking counterattacked, Su He was awarded the status of intangible cultural heritage, and Jiang Heng made a strong confession in the courtyard kitchen. Lin Chen also successfully resolved the business crisis and recognized his true feelings. On the intangible cultural heritage celebration night, he proposed to Zhou Miao with a "diamond ring hidden in the stewed pot".
