It is said that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, but what about the aroma of noodles?
In the old town of Jincheng, there is a fly restaurant called "Dou's Noodle House". The owner, Dou Jiancheng, sticks to the eel noodle craft that has been passed down for three generations. He has a bad temper and vows not to move.
Until real estate developer Qin Huaiyuan bought the entire street, the bulldozers stopped at the entrance of the alley. In this struggle between the old street and capital, Dou Jiancheng's son Dou Yu returns. He gave up his dream of being a screenwriter in Beijing and wanted to persuade his father to "know the current affairs", but he accidentally discovered the iron box that his father had hidden for twenty years. In the box, there was no land deed or bankbook, only a black-and-white photo of a strange woman and an old contract with bloody fingerprints.
Behind a bowl of noodles lies the betrayal, forbearance and redemption of two generations. When the father and son finally broke the estrangement and decided to join forces to save the noodle shop, they discovered that the real enemy was not the bulldozer, but the mute neighbor who lived upstairs who they had ignored for twenty years - Dou Jiancheng's younger brother, Dou Jianye.
