Don't Look Down on the Common Folk of Old
For two years, Sun Jianming has run a food stall outside the industrial park. He treats Lin Zhixia, a regular customer, to the so-called regular-customer price of 22 yuan, while charging new workers only 18 yuan and giving them a braised egg and unlimited beef. When Lin Zhixia confronts him, he snaps, 'If you think it's expensive, don't eat here!' She dumps the entire bowl of noodles and cuts ties with him for good. Across the street, at Chen's Noodle Stall, the young couple Chen Yuening and Zhou Jing'an serve generous portions at the same price to everyone. 'Treat every customer as an equal' is the very foundation of a good bowl of soup. The scales in front of a humble street stall have never weighed just noodles, but a person's conscience.

在工業園區門口擺攤兩年的孫建明,把林知夏當成熟客,卻向她收取熟客價二十二元;新來的工人只要十八元,還附送滷蛋,牛肉更是管夠。林知夏當面質問,反而遭到他辱罵:「嫌貴就別吃!」她當場倒掉整碗麵,從此與他絕交。轉到街對面的陳記小麵攤,年輕夫妻陳悅寧和周景安給足每碗麵的分量,對所有人收取相同的價格。「把所有人都當成平等的食客」,才是這碗湯不變味的根本。煙火攤前的那桿秤,稱量的從來不只是麵,而是良心。
