After Being Fired by My Boss, I Became the God of Cookery (74 episodes)

The veteran banquet catering team led by master chef Lin Jianguo is bought out by nouveau riche Wang Dafu. In pursuit of huge profits, Wang Dafu insists on using untraceable, low-quality prepared food packs for an elderly patron's birthday banquet. Holding fast to his culinary conscience, Lin Jianguo furiously resigns, only to face an industry blacklist orchestrated by Wang Dafu. Driven into a corner, Lin Jianguo and his apprentices start afresh by taking jobs for humble villagers. Relying on authentic ingredients and traditional firewood-cooked banquets, they go head-to-head against the prepared-food feast, crushing their opponent with unmatched culinary craftsmanship. Later, they take on a returnee molecular gastronomy chef, fight back against malicious corporate suppression and business framing, overcome multiple crises, and ultimately establish the renowned "Lin's Authentic Flavor" brand—faithfully guarding the artisan spirit, the warmth of real food, and the conscience behind every ingredient.
