The French Pastry Chef's Neighborhood Steamed Bun Shop
Zhou Li, a French pastry chef, returns to his old neighborhood after his business runs into a financial crisis. There, he discovers that his mother, Zhou Xiufen, is suffering from a serious lumbar spine condition. Determined to take over the family's traditional sourdough steamed bun shop, he initially insists on modernizing the kitchen with quantitative standards, using infrared thermometers and digital proofing cabinets. However, his decision to discard steamed buns that fall outside his specifications infuriates Chen Jianguo, a neighborhood regular who is in a hurry to get his order. Worse still, his disregard for the activity of the traditional sourdough cultures and his mother's time-honored practice of adjusting alkaline levels according to the weather causes an entire batch of dough to turn sour and collapse. With the morning market facing a supply crisis and the neighbors questioning his abilities, can Zhou Li put aside his arrogance, combine modern temperature-control data with his mother's thirty years of traditional expertise, and truly preserve the reputation of the Zhou family shop and the warmth of everyday life in the old neighborhood?

Zhou Li, seorang cef pastri Perancis, kembali ke kawasan kejiranannya selepas perniagaannya mengalami krisis akibat masalah aliran tunai. Di sana, dia mendapati ibunya, Zhou Xiufen, menghidap penyakit tulang belakang lumbar yang serius. Dia pun bertekad mengambil alih kedai pau keluarga yang menggunakan doh yis lama tradisional. Pada mulanya, dia berkeras untuk memodenkan dapur dengan piawaian kuantitatif menggunakan termometer inframerah dan kabinet pemeraman digital. Namun, tindakannya membuang pau yang tidak menepati piawaian membangkitkan kemarahan Chen Jiangong, jiran yang sedang tergesa-gesa untuk pergi bekerja. Lebih buruk lagi, sikapnya yang mengabaikan aktiviti mikrob dalam yis lama serta pengalaman tradisional ibunya menentukan kadar alkali berdasarkan cuaca menyebabkan seluruh adunan menjadi masam dan rosak. Ketika kedai berdepan krisis bekalan untuk pasar pagi dan penduduk kejiranan mula meragui kebolehannya, mampukah Zhou Li mengetepikan kesombongannya, menggabungkan data kawalan suhu moden dengan kemahiran tradisional ibunya yang telah diasah selama tiga puluh tahun, lalu mempertahankan reputasi kedai keluarga Zhou serta suasana kehidupan yang meriah di kawasan lama itu?
