During a year of locust plagues, Qinghe County is out of food, leaving the people freezing and starving. Young county magistrate Lu Zhiheng accidentally falls into an abandoned well in the county yamen and travels to a modern wet market. Seeing discarded fish bones, vegetable leaves, and chicken carcasses all over the ground, he finds them as precious as treasure—these overlooked scraps are the life-saving food for his starving citizens. From then on, he travels between both worlds, trading labor for food and establishing soup-distribution rules. Teaming up with a female healer, constables, and townsfolk, starting from a single pot of fish bone soup, he restores order step by step to save his people and bring the dying Qinghe County back to life.
