Hearing That I Quit Hosting Village Banquets, The Whole Village Was Stunned (23 episodes)

Zhao Laosan cooked village banquets for fifteen years, taking losses at 200 yuan a table. When rising costs forced a tiny price hike, ungrateful villagers flipped tables and insulted him. He revealed fifteen years of account books detailing his losses per table, smashed his ladle in anger, and quit village banquets for good. Without him, no one could cook weddings or funerals, and feast after feast was ruined until the villagers realized his worth. Zhao Laosan demanded high pay and a public apology. Only when a city boss offered him a lucrative partnership did the villagers completely submit. The troublemakers apologized publicly, and Zhao Laosan opened a restaurant in the city, thriving on his culinary skills while upholding strict rules whenever he returned to host feasts.

一听说我不办流水席，全村人都傻了
