Shopkeeper Zhu Chengbi and accountant Chang Qing are known to be a bickering couple. They underwent many heart-pounding and earth-shaking incidents and together came up with many delicious dishes. Each dishes encompass and tell a different story, and reflect a different meaning. In the end, the Langyang King decides to pit Zhu Chengbi and Chang Qing against each other to save his own life.
