David's family is a declining royal chef family. By his generation, the ancestral restaurant had long been nationalized, and he, a descendant of the royal chef, no longer had a place to practice his skills. David liked cooking, but no one taught him. His father only made unfinished egg fried rice for his son at the end of his life. His father left, but life went on. Li Hongbing, a good friend who was admitted to college, stole David's sweetheart Su Moli and abandoned her. David made the most delicious bowl of egg-fried rice for the sad Jasmine. This bowl of rice warmed Jasmine's heart but failed to keep her. The world began to develop rapidly, and people around David were also walking in a hurry. Li Hongbing left, and so did Su Moli. They said they wanted to find their own life. David still took his time and lived his life calmly in response to the ever-changing situation. After the reform and opening up, David contracted the state-owned Furui Restaurant and changed its name to Shanfang Restaurant. He finally had a place where he could cook. As time went by, Li Hongbing became a well-known economist, Su Moli became a famous singer as she wished, and David was still tasting the taste of gain-loss-gain in this ancestral restaurant. As the speed of society becomes faster and faster, many people begin to lose control of their lives. Su Moli quit the entertainment industry, and Li Hongbing was kidnapped for debt.
David regained ownership of the restaurant and finally made the best egg fried rice in the world. Senior gourmet Mr. Jin said that this is the long-lost "Bodhi Yuzhai". In the end, David lived a peaceful life with Jasmine and Xiaoli, making 80 portions of the world-famous egg fried rice every day. The ingredients are rice, eggs, oil, salt, and love.
