Fruit farmers in Songyun Village, aiming to save a two-cent agency fee per catty, ditch veteran agent Zhao Shouyi to deal directly with external merchants purchasing apples. Initially, everyone thinks they can earn extra, but hasty harvesting of mixed grades and blurred standards lead to an entire truck of premium fruit being returned. Rotten fruit, price suppression, and losses follow one after another, resulting in heavy damages. Having stumbled, the villagers finally understand that those two cents buy not just an errand runner, but a whole set of rules for quality control, scheduling, and accountability. Two villages join hands to establish new rules, and with Zhao Shouyi, Liang Futian, and Zhao Xiaochuan together, they guard the human connection and bottom line behind the apples.
