Although the tenants do not actually pay rent, Bo maintains a good relationship with them just like a big family. On the contrary, rich heir Lam Fung's (Leon Lai) relationship with his father Lam Chung-yuen (Jimmy Wang Yu) is very cold due to his hatred of his father. On the day of his birthday, Fung gets into an argument with his father and runs away from home. Afterwards, Fung was robbed and beaten into a coma by a crock. Uncle Bo finds Fung collapsed and brings him to Tai Ping Fong to heal him.

Deux restaurateurs, Félix et Geneviève (Jean Lefebvre et Bernadette Lafont), décident de vendre leur auberge en Seine-et-Marne pour partir dans le sud de la France, lorsqu'un acheteur potentiel se manifeste. Félix décide d'impressionner l'hypotètique acquèreur en engageant un comédien (Georges Beller) pour vanter les mérites de son établissement. Malheureusement pour Félix, la présence de son ancienne petite amie (Corinne Lahaye), les mœurs dissolues de certains de ces clients (entre autres : Henri Guybet, Pierre Doris, Katia Tchenko), les frasques du personnel de maison (Jackie Sardou, Olivia Dutron, Jean-Marie Vauclin), ne lui facilitent pas la tâche. Et surtout, l'acheteur n'est pas celui qu'il prétend être.

En avril 2009, Nicolas Sarkozy décide de baisser le taux de tva dans la restauration de 19,6 à 5,5. Cette mesure, d’apparence technique et économique, s’avère être un fait éminemment politique et parfaitement symbolique d’une manière de gouverner : pas de concertation, beaucoup de communication et une soumission totale aux lobbies.
