The Healing Flavors of the Small Gourmet Shop

share time: 2025-10-10 04:34:33

Tucked in the old town, "The Small Gourmet Shop" has no sign. Its owner, Aunt Zhen, a quiet woman, has become a "late-night healer" with her home-cooked dishes. An advertiser, broken by overtime, tastes his mom’s tomato and egg stir-fry here—he weeps as he sends an apology to his mom. Xiaoxia, fresh from a breakup, remembers shopping at the wet market with her ex through a bowl of pumpkin congee. Lao Zhou, who just lost his job, finds the courage to start over in a plate of braised pork. But Aunt Zhen hides a decade-long regret: she missed her daughter’s final moments caring for her sick mother-in-law, and her daughter’s biggest wish was to "open a small shop with Mom." One day, her daughter’s best friend brings a handwritten recipe book—inside lies a note: "Mom, your food is warmer than any words." When Aunt Zhen cries for the first time, regulars wait with hot meals: "Today, we’ll help you fulfill her wish."
