Village Girl Tian Xiaoman: After Breaking Off My Engagement, I Turned My Fortune Around in the County Town with Braised Delicacies
On the day her engagement was broken off, Tian Xiaoman had only 43 yuan in her pocket. She didn't return to her village. Instead, she went alone to the county town, relying on the braising recipe her grandmother had left her. She started by selling braised eggs for fifty cents each outside the vegetable market. When Ma Guixiang cheated customers with a rigged scale, Xiaoman exposed her in public. When Zhao Pangzi demanded a basin fee, she pushed her cart to another street. When Qian Youde demanded seventy percent of her profits, she flatly refused. When Qin Wan tore down her stall, Xiaoman rushed out clutching its sign, without spilling a drop of her precious old broth. From an enamel basin to Xiaoman's Kitchen, from working alone to hiring staff and opening a proper shop, she simmered the humiliation of her broken engagement into a pot of broth that never went cold. Her mother had remarried without taking her along, but later returned to help tend the fire. Xiaoman says, 'As long as the old broth keeps simmering, people can keep going.'

Pada hari pertunangannya dibatalkan, Tian Xiaoman hanya memiliki 43 yuan di sakunya. Ia tidak kembali ke desa, melainkan pergi seorang diri ke kota kabupaten. Berbekal resep masakan braise warisan neneknya, ia memulai usaha dengan menjual telur rebus berbumbu seharga lima puluh fen per butir di depan pasar sayur. Ketika Ma Guixiang menipu pelanggan dengan timbangan yang tidak akurat, Xiaoman memeriksa timbangan itu di depan semua orang. Ketika Zhao Pangzi memungut biaya untuk baskom dagang, ia mendorong gerobaknya ke jalan lain. Ketika Qian Youde meminta tujuh puluh persen keuntungannya, ia langsung menolak. Ketika Qin Wan menghancurkan kiosnya, Xiaoman berlari keluar sambil memeluk papan nama, tanpa menumpahkan setetes pun kuah kaldu warisannya. Dari baskom enamel hingga Dapur Xiaoman, dari bekerja sendirian hingga mempekerjakan orang dan membuka toko, ia mengubah penghinaan akibat pertunangannya yang dibatalkan menjadi sepanci kaldu yang apinya tak pernah padam. Ibunya menikah lagi tanpa membawanya, tetapi kemudian kembali untuk membantu menjaga api. Xiaoman berkata, 'Selama api kaldu lama tidak padam, manusia masih bisa terus hidup.'
