In 1983, Liao Yongming, a young man from modern times, is reborn in the 1980s. He gives up his job at a light bulb factory, sells his employment position, and opens a shop on Jianshe Road, starting out by selling egg-filled pancakes. After bravely rescuing Xu Jinxin, he outsmarts his wicked relatives and uses his foresight to secure 10,000 yuan in demolition compensation. He buys a new shop and a courtyard near the bus station, then opens a small spicy mixed-food restaurant to help his family grow wealthy. He persuades a property owner to accept installment payments so he can establish an inn. Riding the wave of favorable government policies, he builds a successful business, turns his family's fortunes around, and becomes a wealthy pioneer of the 1980s through his intelligence and courage.
