A Bowl of Hot Rice Warms Human Nature
Cui Tieshan, the foreman of a steel-rebar crew, and his brothers work hard to make a living at a construction site. But after being humiliated over a bowl of extra rice, he breaks with the unscrupulous fast-food owner Ma Changgui. He leads thirty workers to Xiaoman Canteen, a struggling restaurant on the verge of closing, and teaches its owner, Xu Xiaoman, the principles of transparent pricing and fair payment. As business begins to thrive, Ma Changgui resorts to price-cutting, spreading rumors, and cutting off the water and electricity. During a freezing cold snap, he even sabotages the generator, leaving four hundred workers at risk of having no food. Cui Tieshan leads everyone in building a makeshift stove with coal, vegetables, water, and red bricks, protecting their hot meals and the dignity of working people. Eventually, the truth comes to light, Xiaoman Canteen becomes a trusted place to eat, and Xu Xiaoman grows into a responsible business owner who stands by the rules.

Cui Tieshan, ketua pasukan pekerja pemasang besi tetulang, bersama rakan-rakannya bekerja keras di tapak pembinaan demi mencari rezeki. Namun, selepas dihina hanya kerana meminta semangkuk nasi tambahan, dia memutuskan hubungan dengan Ma Changgui, pemilik restoran makanan segera yang tidak beretika. Dia membawa tiga puluh orang pekerja ke Kantin Xiaoman yang hampir ditutup, sambil mengajar pemiliknya, Xu Xiaoman, prinsip harga yang dipaparkan dengan jelas dan urus niaga yang adil. Apabila perniagaan semakin maju, Ma Changgui mula menurunkan harga, menyebarkan khabar angin serta memutuskan bekalan air dan elektrik. Malah, pada malam gelombang sejuk melanda, dia merosakkan generator sehingga empat ratus pekerja terancam kebuluran. Cui Tieshan memimpin semua orang membina dapur sementara menggunakan arang batu, sayur-sayuran, air dan batu bata merah demi memastikan makanan panas dan maruah golongan pekerja terus terpelihara. Akhirnya, kebenaran terbongkar. Kantin Xiaoman menjadi tempat makan yang dipercayai, manakala Xu Xiaoman membesar menjadi pemilik perniagaan yang berpegang pada peraturan dan berani memikul tanggungjawab.
