The situation in the late Qing Dynasty was changeable and dangerous. After Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi fled to the west with Emperor Guangxu and others. On the way to the west, due to the disappearance of the imperial chef, Cixi had to order the eunuch to choose a chef along the way. My little grandfather, the old man Hong, a descendant of Hongjiacai, was chosen because of his exquisite cooking, but he became a criminal because of the poisoning incident.

It turned out that after the Reform Movement of 1898, Empress Dowager Cixi was extremely dissatisfied with Emperor Guangxu and wanted to depose him, but she was afraid. K, the post-party minister, tried to figure out the queen mother's mind, bribed the eunuch, and framed Guangxu by poisoning the dishes, prompting Empress Dowager Cixi to make up her mind to depose Emperor Guangxu as soon as possible.

In the chaos, the old man Hong was identified as a poisoner and sentenced to death, only waiting for the autumn harvest to be pronounced.

Young Fu Gui embarked on a long road to rescue his grandfather.

In order to save grandpa, Xiao must get 18 pieces of gold kitchenware equivalent to the gold medal given by the emperor, and to get these 18 pieces of gold kitchenware, Xiao must become a chef before grandpa dies. To this end, Fu Gui Jr. practiced 18 kinds of cooking skills hard, and made progress towards the goal of the Imperial Chef. In the face of setbacks, difficulties and intrigue in the court struggle, the innocent and kind little Fu Gui persevered, pursued hard and struggled hard. Finally, he rescued his grandfather with true feelings and wisdom, and realized his dream of climbing the cooking peak and becoming a generation of chefs.
