The Butcher Girl and the Sour Scholar
Every pig in the village is afraid of Su Xing'er, but none of the villagers is afraid of Lu Shiyan. She slaughters pigs, and he keeps the accounts. An early divorce agreement brings the two together in front of the same kitchen stove. Butcher Zhao wants to take over her shop, while Shopkeeper Wu has his eyes on her kitchen. In the end, one obediently pays back for the ribs, while the other gets his fraudulent accounts thoroughly investigated by the county magistrate. She thinks he's too stuffy, and he thinks she's too wild. But whenever an outsider picks on either of them, they instantly turn against that person and stand together. The village food competition is hosting another round, testing not only their cooking skills but also whether these two can keep working together. As long as the kitchen fire keeps burning and the account books stay in order, the Sour Scholar and the Butcher Girl's eatery will open bright and early tomorrow.

Semua babi di seluruh kampung takut akan Su Xing'er, tetapi tiada seorang pun penduduk kampung yang takut akan Lu Shiyan. Dia menyembelih babi, manakala lelaki itu mengurus kira-kira. Sepucuk surat pembatalan pertunangan lebih awal membuat mereka berdua terpaksa berdiri di hadapan dapur yang sama. Penjagal Zhao mahu mengambil alih kedainya, sementara Tauke Wu mengintai dapurnya. Akhirnya, seorang akur membayar semula harga tulang rusuk, manakala seorang lagi disiasat habis-habisan oleh hakim daerah kerana akaun yang menyeleweng. Dia menganggap lelaki itu terlalu cerewet, sementara lelaki itu menganggapnya terlalu liar. Namun, apabila orang luar membuli salah seorang daripada mereka, kedua-duanya segera berpaling menentang si pembuli dan berdiri di pihak yang sama. Pertandingan makanan kampung kembali mengadakan satu lagi pusingan. Yang dipertandingkan bukan sahaja masakan, tetapi juga sama ada mereka berdua mampu terus berganding bahu. Selagi api dapur tidak terpadam dan buku akaun tidak berantakan, kedai makan milik sarjana masam dan gadis penjagal babi itu akan mula memasak awal pagi esok.
