Tales of the Strange Village

Reborn in 1980: Starting with Tea Eggs

Lin Wan is reborn as a poor daughter-in-law in Chenjia Village in 1980. As soon as she enters the house, her mother-in-law scolds her for "eating for free". A former workplace elite, she gets an idea from the morning market's steam—selling tea eggs: stewing the marinade with soy sauce and adding bay leaves and star anise, which makes the whole village rush to buy. But a fellow vendor reports her out of jealousy, her in-laws want to split the family for her "embarrassing" behavior, and even her husband Chen Jianguo says "women should stay home". Lin Wan refuses to give up: from two coal stoves to renting a broken house, from tea eggs to marinated platters, then collaborating with the supply and marketing cooperative... When she hangs the "Wanxiang Marinated Shop" sign in the county town, Chen Jianguo holds her hand and says "I'll闯 with you", while those who once looked down on her are lining up to be her apprentices. Rebirth isn't a redo—it's boiling ordinary days into the most fragrant tea eggs.
