Want to Demolish My Shop? Ask My Wok First!

share time: 2025-12-09 06:00:30

Lin Xiaoman, known as "Wok Sister" in the neighborhood, runs her late mother's breakfast shop "Fu Lai Ju" on the old street with her amazing skill at stir-frying sugar oil cakes. She guards the shop and Xiao Tang, a naive clerk she treats like a sister. One day, thugs sent by a real estate developer kick the door to forcefully demolish the shop and push Xiao Tang, who knocks over the porridge pot. The usually gentle Xiaoman suddenly picks up her ten-year-old cast-iron wok, slams it on the ground, making the thugs step back: "Want to touch her? Ask my wok! This shop—I've protected it for ten years!" Rubbing her arm, Xiao Tang looks up and sees a pale pink scar on Xiaoman's left arm under her apron, exactly the shape of the wok's handle. The neighbors all remember: ten years ago, when Xiaoman's mother was scratched by a demolition truck while protecting the shop, Xiaoman threw herself in front of her—and that scar was from the wok pressing against her.
