share time: 2025-08-06 02:30:23

Food delivery rider Li Xiang time-travels to 1980s Northeast China, becoming the 'black sheep' of his struggling family. Discovering his father faces layoffs at the factory and the family hasn't eaten meat in six months, Li leverages modern business savvy to change their fate. Trading cola for startup capital, he exploits loopholes in the planned economy - hoarding meat coupons and innovating pig farms to fill their table with braised pork daily. Just as they move into the meatpacking plant's housing complex, the state-owned enterprise reform tsunami hits, threatening their hard-won paradise.
