Magic Boy Kitchener (Chinese: 神厨小福贵; pinyin: Shén Chú Xiăo Fù Guì) is a Chinese cartoon series, made of 150 consecutive episodes, currently broadcast on CCTV. The series takes place in the late Qing Dynasty, during the era of the Empress Dowager Cixi. After a convoy accident in which the imperial kitchener perishes, Cixi orders the search for a new kitchener from the region. She sends her eunuchs to a nearby town, where they find a small tavern with a skilled elderly chef - the grandfather of the series protagonist, Fugui, a young aspiring chef himself. His grandfather is taken away by the eunuchs, leaving only one option for Fugui - becoming the imperial kitchener, thereby saving the life of his grandfather.
