The plot of "Man is Iron, Rice is Steel": In 1963, people had just experienced three years of "natural disasters" and their desire for food could not be increased. In a steel factory in a certain northern city, the new director Liu Feng won a pig as a reward from the head office because of his excellent leadership and overfulfilled the task. This made all the employees very excited. Cui Dake (played by Li Mengnan), the cooking squad leader, took back the pig, and everyone was looking forward to eating pork to satisfy their craving.

However, the factory director Liu Feng paid close attention to the thatched cottage and invited the dismissed employee Nan Yi (played by Feng Yuanzheng) back to be a pig butcher, which made Cui Dake extremely dissatisfied. As a result, Nan Yi became famous after one meal, returned to the cooking class and became a chef. Moreover, he also fell in love with Laoban's niece Ding Qiunan (played by Li Xinyi), which made Cui Dake even more jealous.
