Food blogger Zhou Yan is reborn in 1984. He starts off by taking over a bankrupt Sichuan restaurant.

In this era of scarce supplies, he stuns diners with top-quality flavors!

Qiaojiao Beef, Husband and Wife Lung Slices, Mapo Tofu, Dongpo Pork Elbow, Diving Rabbit...

Stir-frying, sautéing, braising, steaming, deep-frying, boiling, stewing, smoking…

Each dish has its own style; every flavor is unique!

From then on, a small town in southern Sichuan gained a humble but famous little eatery.

Diners gather around small tables to enjoy Qiaojiao Beef; young people can’t get enough of skewers of Bo Bo Chicken at just one mao a stick; seasoned foodies drool over a steaming plate of River Eel Shreds…

His silly-cute little sister lifts her head from a washbasin:

“Wanna eat noodles? Get in line first!”
