share time: 2026-01-19 12:34:28

Lin Xiaoman, a modern overworked office worker, dies from overtime and is reborn in a poor mountain village in 1983. With her family penniless and her younger brother in urgent need of medical money, she remembers her grandma’s tea egg recipe—once, grandma’s tea eggs filled the entire alley with fragrance! She secretly trades the family’s only 5 jin of rice for 20 eggs, takes a clay pot, and sets up a stall at the county train station. On the first day, she’s chased by urban management and breaks half the pot of eggs. A fellow vendor scolds her for “stealing business,” but she fights back: using her past-life braised sauce with bay leaves and cinnamon, she cooks eggs until richly fragrant, wraps them in old newspapers as “portable packs” for travelers, and her business booms. When market bullies come for “protection money,” retired soldier Zhou Hang restrains them with one hand but coldly tells her to leave. Later, he helps her find cheap eggs and secretly watches her stall. When she builds the village’s first brick house with tea egg money, Zhou Hang hands her a yellowed photo—grandma is holding a young him. It turns out their fate started from grandma’s generation?
