Lin Xiu'e is a resilient and kind-hearted single adoptive mother. In an accident, she risks her life to save her elderly neighbor, Liang Shoushan, from being killed by an out-of-control pushcart. To repay her kindness, Liang Shoushan rents her a prime storefront on the front street at a low price. Drawing on her grandmother's inherited secret craft of making traditional sour bamboo shoots aged in earthenware jars for 120 days, Lin Xiu'e opens a Luosifen noodle shop.
