Mistook a Master Chef for a Good-for-Nothing

Mistook a Master Chef for a Good-for-Nothing Plot:

A ragged quiet stranger arrives in a small town, dismissed by the innkeeper as a useless handyman and mocked by villagers as good-for-nothing. When a wealthy sponsor sabotages the town's cooking contest, the stranger casually makes a century-lost Su-style braised pork knuckle, filling the street with its rich aroma. He even recognizes the sponsor as a former subordinate who forced him into retirement years ago. As the hidden identity of the retired royal chef who fled court intrigue is revealed, long-buried grudges come to light, kicking off a dramatic twist-filled story woven with food and old grudges.
