share time: 2025-11-14 00:31:00

Lin Xiaoman struggles to keep her family’s street stall alive in a “food desert” alley, unable to even pay her 300-yuan rent—until she accidentally activates the “Food Redemption System,” which tasks her to create dishes using humble ingredients that “awaken diners’ soulful memories.” Picky food critic Gu Jingshen storms in to mock her, sneering, “Street food will never be elegant,” but breaks down in tears after tasting her instant noodles with grandma’s pickles, which remind him of his late mother’s cooking. From then on, Gu becomes a “tsundere regular”: complaining about her messy stall while secretly covering her rent and fending off city inspectors. The system’s tasks are absurd yet hilarious—like making “state-banquet dim sum” from frozen dumplings or carving “dragon and phoenix” out of marinated eggs… Using her street smarts and “mom’s taste,” Lin turns her stall into a global must-visit spot, shattering the “food desert” stereotype. Amidst it all, she and the soft-hearted-but-stubborn Gu spark a sweet romance—proving that the finest cuisine always hides in the warmth of everyday life!
