Story synopsis
Ye Rui and Zhou Zhi agree that the restaurant will introduce a monthly dish jointly recommended by staff, but when it is the turn of a colleague from the dishwashing room, the simple home-style soup is deemed insufficiently appealing by the marketing team. The two decide to proceed with a trial run as originally agreed, truthfully presenting the ingredients and portion size while leaving the choice of crediting to the proposer. The soup does not become an explosive hit, yet it earns steady orders from regulars; they preserve this slot so that the right to participate does not depend on the ability to generate hype.
An original story concept by the Huangguo Editorial Team, presented as a synopsis. Its characters and plot are original ideas, not the plot of a work with the same title or a full novel.
