Master's only been gone for a few days,

and I've already caused Little Bear to be close for a week.

I really don't have the qualifications to be a good chef.

You're being too pessimistic.

The health department's test results haven't come out yet.

Maybe there's nothing wrong.

It was me.

It had to have been me.

Even though I don't know why,

when I saw the baseball team throwing up,

I really felt ashamed.

It must have been me.

And seeing Boss this troubled,

I really feel like I've wronged him.

I really don't want to

see everyone disappointed in me.

I have to leave Little Bear.

I've caused Boss to lose money.

I have to quit,

or else

I'll never be able to forgive myself.

Master.

Quitting over such a small mistake.

That isn't taking responsibility,

it's running away.

If you are a head chef,

the one thing you should never do is run away.

If you

don't even have a chef's integrity,

then don't enter a kitchen ever again in this life time.

Master.

I've looked everywhere,

but I still can't figure out

where things went wrong.

Those dishes,

I learned them all from Master.

Every step of the process,

I did them according to what you taught me.

I really don't know what went wrong.

Excuses.

Right now the head chef of Little Bear

is you.

Not me.

You don't even know if the things you make

are good or not.

How can you give it to someone else to eat,

if you don't even know what you did wrong?

Then how are you going to avoid

this from ever happening again?

He is right.

Let's think carefully about it one more time.

One more time from the start.

This morning

up until you gave the food to the baseball team.

What else did you do in between?

What did I do?

What did I do?

I was here early in the morning,

because I was scared I couldn't handle everything by myself.

I started by

first making some soup,

then I washed the rice and cooked it,

then I made salad dressing,

and then boiled eggs.

After that, I tried the soup.

That's about what happened.

Wait.

Boiled eggs?

Were they put into the salad?

Yeah.

When did you use them?

Morning!

Good morning.

You're all prepared.

It's only eight thirty,

don't you think you're a bit too early?

You want to be a big chef.

Nervous?

Are you crazy!

Head chef,

what should I do?

You...

Next to the fry-pan, take the ones that need sauce

and prepare them.

Yes, sir.

Oh yeah. At that time Xiao Qiang even said, "reporting head chef."

What was the time.

Around...

eight thirty.

And then?

Xiao Qiang asked me to go look at the air conditioner,

because the air conditioner in the kitchen broke.

The air conditioner broke?

Boiled eggs

made at eight thirty,

left in a non-air conditioned

30 degrees celsius environment,

for over three hours.

Right.

How come I didn't think of that?

So it was the egg in the salad.

It's an ingredient that shouldn't be handled in high temperatures,

and is one that can easily foster bacteria.

You can't possibly not know

something this basic?

In a kitchen,

three people have three person system.

One person has one person's capabilities.

You could choose to come here early every morning,

mess up everything and scare the customers,

while working yourself to death.

Or,

you could choose to change the menu.

Make something you're good at.

Or, in regards to the process,

something you can easily handle.

If you can't even understand this concept,

you can consider quitting.

I'll pretend that I never had you as a student.

Should we go eat something?

He Ma hasn't eaten at all today.

You two go and eat.

I want to stay here and

think things over.

We'll go.

He should think things over.

You guys... go safely.

I'll think things over.

Everything.

Fish ball soup.

Medium fried.

Egg drop soup.

Okay. Egg drop?

Master,

weren't you a little too mean to He Ma just now?

He really seems discouraged and ashamed.

Customers won't order his discouragement

and shame to eat, would they?

Emotion isn't the main factor.

If one doesn't have professional knowledge of ingredients,

then that's really using the customers' lives as an experiment.

What I said then

was kind enough,

or else I could have also said he was a murderer.

Nobody died.

If he continues like this,

not being responsible,

one day he will take a human life.

For all we know that person could be you.

Me...

Not possible.

You care too much for He Ma.

Comforting him will only cause him to depend on you.

He will never learn his lesson that way.

I just wanted to make him feel better.

Unlike you;

only scolding.

That's kicking someone when they are down.

If He Ma wasn't strong enough,

he might go and commit suicide.

Him dying is better than him killing others.

Master, aren't you too strict?

You have to learn to forgive others

in order to free your own heart.

Where did you get that proverb from?

Coming, excuse me.

Mister, your salted vegetables and shredded pork noodles.

And your Zhajiang mian. (Fried sauce noodle)

Your dumplings will be ready in a bit.

Chopsticks.

Hey, can't you get some for me?

The little bucket

to put the bones in.

Excuse me.

Pepper.

Excuse me.

Haven't had a boyfriend, have you?

I've never met a girl

as inattentive as you.

I have had a boyfriend.

In fact, a lot of them.

Then you have had a good life.

They took care of you.

Two bowls of noodles, two chopsticks,

two spoons.

Having a relationship is something like this, right?

Everything is in pairs.

I, who has never had a relationship,

has never really thought about these things.

Just now Master said

ingredients can kill people.

Even though it's a bit exaggerated,

it makes sense the more you think about it.

This probably is Master's responsibility towards the customers.

Only he expressed it too intensely.

You know how to infer more than He Ma does.

You flatter me.

Master,

how are you doing at Nantes Forest?

Everything going smoothly?

What are the dishes like on the new menu?

Tell me about it.

I don't have your skilled mouth,

I can't say.

You'll know when you come to eat tomorrow.

Really?

Free of charge?

If you say it's free, then it's free.

Jenny, how is the state of reservations today?

There's a total of seven today.

One was reserved by an organization.

There are about ten people in the organization.

Just now the customer with a table marked as reserved came.

Bai Hui.

Miss Ke Xin.

How come you are free today?

You are not working at Amour today?

I have the day off.

Today I'm treating Bai Hui to a meal.

Sorry,

I'm shameless to eat another free meal here.

Of course you are welcome.

However, you must tell us your thoughts after your meal.

We still have half an hour until

our store opens,

so you have to wait a little.

It's okay.

I can make hers first.

I'm off to the kitchen.

Thanks for the hardwork, Master.

You better pay attention to what you are eating.

I'll question you later.

Yes, sir.

Bai Hui, have a seat.

It's been a long time since we last saw each other.

When was the last time we met?

It was at...

Zhi Tian's place.

I forgot.

Master, I...

Sorry to trouble you.

Thank you.

Zhi Tian is not home yet.

You should know

the baseball team was celebrating

at Little Bear today.

Why are you here?

You told me to have a good rest today.

I was good, I didn't go out at all.

Sorry.

I've intruded.

It seems like it.

Nantes Forest still brings of warmth.

It gives people a feeling of comfort.

We've added some new dishes.

This time, I've completely listened to him.

Since he's the new head chef, it'll be a new taste.

After all,

it isn't just for a month this time,

but is permanent.

That's true.

You're really very skilled in things like these.

Not really.

What I'm doing

is just trying to complement Zhi Tian's professionalism.

He's just like a flood dragon who's been hidden deep in the ocean.

Every big chef

is afraid of the day he exhibits his prowess.

This time when he left Little Bear

and came to Nantes Forest,

a lot of big restaurants

renovated and adjusted their menus.

They are putting on their armour to get ready to battle Zhi Tian.

You seem to be thinking Master Zhi Tian

is Nantes Forest's secret weapon.

But...

But...

Master probably doesn't think that way, does he?

Every man has ambition hidden in his heart.

It's Little Bear that caused Zhi Tian to lose his fighting spirit.

Welcome!

A seat for two, sir?

Yep, two.

This way please.

Sorry, I need to attend to some customers.

Just wait for a moment.

Ke Xin, she...

Is she trying to say that

Little Bear is a place that harmed Master?

These vegetables have been overcooked,

their colour has even changed.

How are we supposed to serve this to the customers?

Redo it.

Okay.

Cha Ke,

you've been with me the longest.

Move aside.

If you continue in this same state,

you'll have your jobs snatched away by female chefs.

Let me tell you,

I don't want to be working with

those chatty girls

in the same kitchen everyday.

If the taste of the red wine is too overpowering,

just let it boil once more,

then add in the ingredients.

The chatty female chef you were referring to...

is Bai Hui, right?

I heard that she's currently Gao Qiao's assistant

at Amour

and is specially in charge of seasoning.

I never thought

that with her shabby personality,

she could get Gao Qiao's approval.

Bai Hui relies on her own hard work

to improve step by step.

I haven't even worked with her for a long time.

I never thought she would improve this fast.

If I keep looking at her as

a useless apprentice,

I'll lose to her really quickly.

How's that possible?

Bai Hui has just started;

It's still early.

Honestly,

I'm rather nervous

about cooking for her today.

Head Chef, please help me test the taste of this.

Sure.

I'll get to doing my work.

Zhi Tian has already recognized Bai Hui's strengths.

She's not a little entourage following her master around anymore.

That means

Zhi Tian has started to look at Bai Hui as an equal.

He sees her as a woman,

not just an apprentice.

How blissful.

Master's cooking.

It has the feeling of coming home.

Every bite is warm and sweet...

The tea wasn't made by me.

I know.

It's just that the aroma of the tea

has beautifully

ended tonight's dinner.

Then...

Are you going to start your critique?

What critique?

I'm your apprentice!

What I say is expressing my feelings!

Okay.

You haven't eaten my food for a long time,

what are you feelings about it?

It's really perfect.

100 marks.

The moment it enters your mouth,

the aroma of the food assimilates through your whole body.

The hardest thing to describe in the whole world

is probably that feeling.

And when the fragrance enters your heart,

the deepest chambers of your heart

also seems to hold the same fragrance

and float.

I can't help but think

that this feeling of blissfulness

only belongs in the present.

It can't be scheduled

or kept.

Once that aroma dissipates,

only resonance is left.

But...

it can still leave a feeling of blissfulness

in your memories.

Your skills are getting better and better.

Your words are also getting more and more abstract.

That's because you can't empathize with

the magic that your food gives to people.

At least to me, it's like that.

Then could I please ask

if there are any more succinct and understandable ways?

Yup.

The taste of happiness that I felt today,

I'll never ever forget

because it's what Master made for me.

What are you crying for?

Master, are you passing your powers onto me?

As if I could do that!

Nonsense.

Then please pass me a little more...

You still haven't eaten some of the food.

Zhi Tian, he...

will be snatched away from me.

Miss Ke Xin!

Why are you here?

It's raining;

do you want to come in and take a seat?

I came to look for you.

To look for me?

Then come in, it's raining.

Come in.

Sorry for interrupting your work.

Nah, it's okay. What's up?

What I'm going to say next

is probably going to be unpleasant.

But as Zhi Tian's girlfriend,

I have to tell you.

Please don't go looking for him too often.

Why?

He's my master.

That was when you were at Little Bear.

Now you're at Amour,

and he's at Nantes Forest.

You have a new master,

and he has his dreams to fulfill.

Dreams...

Master's dreams...

I want to push him to the apex of the world,

and only I can do that.

If he's still attached to Little Bear,

that will only hinder his journey.

You've already wasted too much of his time.

It's enough.

The time that's left

is mine.

This is what I wanted to say.

Both you and He Ma,

please don't go looking for him anymore.

He has his own path to follow,

and please work hard on your own.

Sorry.

I've interrupted your work.

I'll be leaving. Goodbye.

I...

I don't understand.

Master's future

and us being his apprentices,

what's the connection?

Why is it everytime I talk with Ke Xin

I always seem to be unable to understand?

There seems to be

a space where we are unable to communicate.

But,

once I think of how she's Master's girlfriend,

I start to think,

is it...

that I'm not mature enough

to understand what Master wants

and I'm unable to help him at all?

He Ma Yang, open the door.

It's Dad.

He Ma Yang.

Excuse me,

about He Ma Yang in the first room,

have you seen him?

No.

He Ma Yang,

where have you hidden?

Dad is looking for you.

When you hear this, please give me a call.

Where have you run off to?

Uncle.

It's you!

He Ma's girlfriend?

No... no.

I'm not his girlfriend.

You're mistaken.

My wife told me...

Did you two break up?

No... we weren't together, so we can't break up.

Just now I went to the shop,

the door wasn't open and his phone is off.

I don't know where that brat went...

He's so useless.

Uncle, no.

He didn't run anywhere.

You're mistaken.

If he isn't hiding,

why can't I find him?

I think I may know where he went.

You know where he is?

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Let's go...

Uncle.

Take me to him.

Uncle, don't be so anxious!

You should've said so earlier, and not let me...

Bai Hui.

He Ma, it's that...

I told you to open the door and you didn't!

And still you run away...

Uncle!

Stop hitting me!

Bai Hui, save me!

Stop fighting, Uncle!

You're really useless.

How am I useless?

How could I not know you?

You've never had any talent since you were little.

Acting tough and being stubborn isn't enough!

What world is this?

People won't give you chances!

Come back with me!

Let go of me!

I won't go back with you!

He Ma...

I'm not a failure.

I may be wrong,

but I don't admit defeat!

I'll stand up from where I've fallen down!

My master didn't say that I was finished,

what right do you have to say that?

I don't have a right?!

He Ma!

Uncle...

You say I don't have the right?

What master you have,

I don't care.

Your father has been in the food business for a long time.

I have more right than anyone to criticize you!

I ask you to help out at home,

you don't listen.

Yet you run out and disgrace yourself.

If you let our customers know

that the food you make is unclean,

who will dare to come and eat?

Using you knees to think, you'll also figure it out. (he's exaggerating)

Come home with me!

Let go of me!

Why should I go back with you?

Didn't you say that I'm a disgrace?

If I go back I'll just be mocked by your customers.

I don't want to go back with you!

You still aren't afraid?

Let go of me!

Uncle, don't be angry!

Uncle!

Shut up!

Uncle,

stop fighting!

Uncle!

Uncle!

Come back with me!

Stop hitting me!

You unfilial son!

Pushing your father onto the ground, you...

I... I didn't...

He Ma, don't be like this.

I'm not.

You unfilial son!

I...

I'll beat you to death!

Dad, what are you doing?

Do you know what you're doing?

You really...

Bai Hui, are you okay?

Let me take a look.

Look!

Fight... you only know how to fight!

You've hit a girl, are you happy?

Go back yourself!

I won't go back with you!

Are you okay? Let me take a look.

Let go, let me take a look!

I'm fine... just a little dizzy.

Right... okay...

Dizzy, you'll be fine...

Come, I'll help you up.

I'll help you up.

Are you okay now?

As long as you're okay, it's fine.

Are you able to stand?

What do you want me to say before you come home?

Do you want me to beg you?

What if I tell you that I'm not well,

and that the business at the shop

is getting worse everyday?

For all you know your grandfather's shop

may not fail at your hands,

but at mine.

Dad.

It's okay.

If you don't want to come back,

even if I scold and hit you, it's of no use.

You don't need your parents anymore.

I won't care about you anymore.

I'm going back.

Dad...

I...

I can't go back now.

I used to...

be a person with no guts.

I was a useless person.

But I don't want to be a coward forever.

I want you to see me succeed.

I want you to see me succeed, Dad.

Dad...

Uncle, be careful.

It's my first time

seeing my dad this discouraged.

It's not like him at all.

It hurts!

Sorry, I'll do this part myself.

He went overboard.

He hit really hard.

So this is how fathers and sons interact.

Thanks goodness, I'm a girl.

Your words

don't seem like

they're meant to comfort me.

You need comforting?

Of course I need it.

Didn't you hear my dad say

that I'm an embarrassment?

Where in the world

do you find this kind of dad?

If he wants me to go home,

he should at least say that they need me.

He'll take pity on me...

Who needs his pity?

However, I think that you and your dad are pretty similar.

How are we similar?

You both really need each other,

but you act tough instead.

Also, you both like to fight.

I don't like to fight.

Why did you lie down?

Need to put medicine on you.

I don't want to.

Get up.

I don't want it.

What's so funny?

I suddenly remembered

Master says that you are girly.

If he saw you and your dad fighting like this,

he would probably think you're very manly.

I have to tell Master about this incident.

Even now, everything you say has to do

with Master.

It's not like that.

I wasn't talking about Master just now.

I mean,

I'm going to go tell Master

to compliment you

by saying you're a manly man

and not girly like he said.

Can you not mention

Master for now?

I didn't mean to talk about Master.

I meant to say

I'm going to tell Master...

I...

What are you doing?

I...

Are you telling me you didn't notice, Bai Hui?

Notice what?

That's right.

How could you possibly have noticed?

You couldn't possibly have noticed.

You always talk about Master.

You think about Master.

So, how could you possibly have noticed...

Even if, I can't get anything right.

I fail at everything I do.

But in the face of love,

I wish I was full of courage.

Bai Hui,

please look at me.

Look into my eyes.

I...

I really like you.

I really really like you.

He Ma,

I really didn't think that you would like me.

I also didn't think that you would do that to me.

But...

But, if you knew that,

I liked Master.

Then why did you... just now...

You...

You should be able to understand my feelings.

Just like you always cry and tell me

Master has never paid attention to you.

It's the same.

Bai Hui,

you've also never paid attention to me.

Perhaps my opponent is Master

so my efforts

you never notice them.

He's better than me at everything.

He's also a godly chef.

I'm not.

Thus, I'm never able to beat him.

But,

I still can't help myself.

I wish you could focus on me

instead of Master for once.

Turn around and take a look at me.

He Ma,

I've never wanted you to compete with Master.

Master has his talents.

You have your warmth.

The two of you were always two different people.

Also, in this world

there isn't anyone who can take your place.

But my warmth,

and my uniqueness

aren't

the person you love.

He Ma,

I'm sorry.

Don't let me affect your mood.

You must not be beaten.

I know.

Anyway,

there's still a week.

Afterwards,

you will see the He Ma from before.

The He Ma who only smiles.

I'm sorry, He Ma.

Don't let me affect your mood.

You musn't be beaten.

Like those passing people on the street.

Turn a corner and meet happiness.

Start from here.

Doesn't matter. Take things slow.

The future is like a maze. Turn in a circle and return to there.

He Ma,

you are my best friend,

forever.

I never told you

that it's because of you that

I have the courage to go on.

Perhaps, what I can do

is just help you like this.

Stay by your side

and help you find courage.

The pigs have been fed.

The duck is full also.

The trees have been trimmed.

My nails haven't grown long.

I'm bored.

I should call and bother Zhi Tian.

Hello?

Hello, Jin Dao Granny?

It's Bai Hui.

It's you, what's wrong?

Nothing.

I want to ask you.

Can He Ma stay at your place for a week?

That boy who made the customers have diarrhea?

Why should I care about him?

It's not that.

I thought that since you don't have much going on,

I would find someone to entertain you.

Okay.

This girl is very perceptive.

How would she know I was bored?

Drinking should make the problem go away, but instead why does it making it worse?

I should just eat myself to death.

Can't be...

Hallucination...

It's not there.

Is it tasty?

It's tasty. What do you want?

Let me treat you to tastier things. Come!

I don't want to go, is that okay?

Let's go.

I don't wanna go.

Go!

I wonder how He Ma is doing.

Jin Dao Granny

will probably keep him too busy to think

about other things.

I hope he can calm down.

He Ma...

Why do you want me to catch the pig?

Hurry up...

Hurry up!

Hurry up, you.

Why am I here cooking?

What else is there?

Oh yeah...

I don't know

what I should make here.

Actually there isn't much here to work with.

Gosh, I'm hungry.

I'll make it right away.

Are you sure you want 500 of them?

Can you eat them all?

Eating that much shrimp, you should be careful of a nosebleed.

Note: Shrimp is believed to be a "hot" item which leads to a rise in blood pressure, and thus, nosebleeds.

It's because the food you cook is so bad.

I need to change flavors today.

I'll eat live shrimp,

shrimp in wine, and black pepper shrimp.

I caught them!

Jin Dao Granny.

This should be good. Enough for you to eat.

You don't understand?

I want 500 of them.

No more.

Count them for me.

There's a lot.

Did you think the details of cuisine

can be discounted?

Jin Dao Granny, you...

500 of them?

How do I count them?
