Feng Zhiyuan spent twelve years tending the stove, mastering the authentic craft of the Feng family's pork trotter rice. But his father favored his smooth-talking elder brother and, to help him marry the town mayor's daughter and take control of the family business, publicly struck Feng Zhiyuan's name from the family register and cast him out. Feng Zhiyuan left with nothing but an old clay pot and an improved secret recipe. At his lowest point, a kind-hearted older sanitation worker and a retired veteran came to his aid. His little shop soon exploded in popularity thanks to its extraordinary flavor, selling out every day and earning a legendary reputation. Within two years, he opened eight branches and established a firm rule: use only genuine ingredients and never deceive customers. In the end, his elder brother fell into ruin, and his father finally regretted his choices.
