share time: 2026-01-08 02:31:53

Lin Xiaoman, a modern food R&D specialist who died from overwork, wakes up as Lin Zhaodi, a rural girl despised by her in-laws in 1985. The original Zhaodi was scolded for "shaming the family" when she tried to sell homemade spicy strips—even her nephew avoided her. Staring at the chili powder on the stove, Xiaoman suddenly recalls the hit formula of modern spicy strips! She uses money from selling eggs to buy coarse flour and makes "Zhaodi Spicy Strips" so fragrant that neighbors climb walls to get them—only to have the village bully smash her stall, and her in-laws threaten to kick her out. Squatting at the village entrance crying, she’s handed a handkerchief by Chen Mo, an educated youth on a Forever bicycle: "I’ll help you get county distribution channels, but I want 10% profit." Next, she must convince her conservative in-laws, fend off copycat competitors, and turn her spicy strips into a "Queen Brand" amid China’s reform and opening up—but is Chen Mo, who always helps her, truly a partner, or is he hiding a secret?
