Hot Pot Legend

In the early years of the Republic of China, during the warlord melee, Chen Erwa, a son of a boatman, opened a hot pot restaurant in Jiaochangba, Chongqing by chance. Li Ruolan, a rich girl hiding from debts, Wei Tiannan, who worked as an undercover agent to suppress bandits, and Zeng Baoyu, an older young man who wanted to find a wife, successively became waiters in the restaurant. As soon as the hot pot restaurant opened, all kinds of unexpected things happened one after another. First, it encountered malicious competition from its peers. After several setbacks, it got on the right track, but it was coveted by bandits again. With the efforts of Chen Erwa and his colleagues, not only did everyone assist the city defense brigade and joint Pao Ge to wipe out the bandits, but they also gave gamblers who were trapped in the gambling game a new lease of life, helped the unfilial son find his way back, helped detectives capture wanted criminals, prevented poor women from being sold into brothels, and led the Shui Ba Kuai vendors to survive as a team. As the hot pot business gradually became prosperous, Chen Erwa achieved both career and love harvests, which also allowed Chongqing merchants to carry forward and pass on the spirit of hard work.
