Fireworks in the ancient city of Yangzhou in March, the scenery is charming and the food is fragrant, which often makes the guests who come to Yangzhou linger. On the occasion of the fireworks in March, the century-old "Yuyan Building" is preparing for the annual grand event "Famous Building Meeting" of Yangzhou kitchen appliance industry in an orderly manner. At that time, chefs from three top restaurants in Yangzhou will compete in cooking at the meeting, and the winner will be awarded the title of "the first building".

In addition to tirelessly running for the "Famous Building Club", Xu Shu, the owner of "Yanyulou", also has mixed feelings. Happily, granddaughter Xu Lijie returned from studying in the United States. Worryingly, although Shen Fei, the vegetable head he values very much, is clever and dexterous, he doesn't do anything serious. Instead of helping to cook in the kitchen every day, he likes to fry stinky tofu in the street. Fortunately, the reputation of "Yanyulou" is not entirely supported by Shen Fei. Xu Shujia's "Fireworks March" plaque is famous all over the world for its "Daoguang Qing".

The "Famous Building Meeting" was held as scheduled, and the three famous chefs in Huaiyang showed their magical powers, but a young Beijinger named Jison was killed halfway. Jison is the general manager of Beijing Datang Catering Co., Ltd., and also a descendant of chef Ouchi in Daoguang period. Jison commented on the works of three famous chefs one by one, but none of them succeeded. Jison's contempt for Huaiyang cuisine is naturally justified. Later, at the "Spring Festival Flower Moon Banquet" held in Slender West Lake, Jison persuaded all the chefs in Huaiyang with his cooking skills.

Jison came from afar, of course, not to show off his extraordinary cooking skills, but to compete with Yangzhou's culinary world with the Omuchi Manchu banquet handed down from generation to generation. The purpose is to uncover the plaque of "Fireworks in March" written by Daoguang Emperor. In order to keep this plaque, Xu Shu crustily skin of head to pick up Jison's gambling. Xu Shu knows that there are many famous chefs in Yangzhou, but if you want to surpass the incomparable Jison in front of you, I'm afraid Yangzhou can't find anyone at the moment. Unless the legendary character "a knife is fresh" is passed down. Can be "fresh" for many years, where to find his descendants?

While the whole city of Yangzhou was paying attention to the gambling between Jison and Huaiyang, only Shen Fei turned a deaf ear to it. In his view, it is more important than anything to save the heart of his crush on his girlfriend Xu. Seeing that time is coming, Xu Shu can't find Jison's opponent in Yangzhou City, and is going to give Jison the plaque of "Fireworks in March". This is related to the honor and disgrace of Yangzhou's cooking skills. The successor of "fresh with one knife" finally came out of the mountain and agreed with Jison for a final battle.

On the day of the competition, everyone knew that Shen Fei was a "clean slate" successor. Similarly, Jison and the experts present were deeply impressed by Shen Fei's works. At this point, a legend buried for hundreds of years was unveiled between Jison and Shen Fei. Jison dared to invite a "fresh successor" to fulfill the wishes of his ancestors and promote Huaiyang cuisine. Behind Shen Feixian, the successor of "fresh with one knife", the business of "Fengyulou" is even more popular, but Shen Fei's stubbornness does not change, and he often takes pleasure in frying stinky tofu. The difference is that Xu Lijie has an extra helper around him this time.
