Given a second chance at life, she has only thirty cents in her private savings. Armed with a jujube-wood cane, she kicks open the woodshed door and exposes her daughter-in-law's schemes: secretly hoarding eggs and hiding her husband's wages. She firmly shields her granddaughter behind her. With a secret recipe passed down by her mother-in-law and her former reputation as the legendary 'Kitchen God Zhang,' she takes the initiative to secure a permit for a neighborhood communal canteen. Setting up her stove in Willow Alley, she soon fills half the street with the irresistible aroma of glossy red-braised pork and fluffy red bean buns.
