Landlord Zhao Youde grows jealous of chef Lin Feng's thriving restaurant business. He maliciously doubles the rent to drive Lin Feng out, intending to take over the premises and run the restaurant himself. Lin Feng opens a new restaurant with his longtime colleagues, and its business flourishes thanks to their authentic culinary skills. Zhao Youde invests heavily in building an upscale restaurant, but its food is disappointing and its prices are exorbitant, soon leaving him deep in debt. Desperate to recover his investment, he takes a dangerous gamble by selling fast food made with substandard ingredients. When his scheme is exposed, his reputation is ruined. Driven by malice, he hires people to cause trouble, but when that fails, he sets the restaurant on fire in the middle of the night and is arrested at the scene. The property is auctioned off according to the law, and Lin Feng purchases it to expand his restaurant into a grand establishment. Behind bars, Zhao Youde bitterly regrets his actions, while Lin Feng remains committed to honest business and traditional cooking, watching his success grow day by day.
