Nursing home head chef Zhou Lanying stuck to the fifteen-yuan nutritious meal standard, and was dismissed for refusing the nine-yuan cost-reduction request. After contractor Liu Fang took over at a low price, she compressed costs by relying on reconstructed meat, leftover reheated food, and near-expiration meat, causing stomach discomfort for multiple elderly residents on the anniversary day. In the end, the food safety shady deal was exposed, and Zhou Lanying was invited back to her position, setting new public and transparent kitchen rules to guard the bottom line of the elderly meal tray safety.
