Zhao Ying, a bold Northeastern woman who has run a poultry shop for ten years, catches the eye of the Gu family matriarch and faces all kinds of complicated family emergencies. With a cold-faced husband, a withdrawn seven-year-old stepdaughter, and a father-in-law who has just been discharged from the hospital, Zhao Ying uses the straightforward, lively, and decisive nature of a Northeastern girl to heal the whole family one by one. The once-desolate Gu household fills with laughter and joy. And when her iron-pot stewed goose hits the table, it is unbelievably delicious.
