I'm dying in anticipation!

I wonder what it is.

I bet it's something good.

I picked this up at Jin Dao Granny's house a few days ago.

When I was making new dishes for her,

she took this out very carefully,

then hid it again really carefully!

The important point is... it's locked!

It's locked!

It must be some secret manual,

or a cookbook which has been lost for a long time.

You stole Jin Dao Granny's stuff?

Once she finds out, you're dead!

It's okay.

If it's really a cookbook that has been lost for a long time,

we can learn together!

If it wasn't for Bai Hui, you stinking He Ma,

you wouldn't be sharing this treasure with us!

Aiyoh, why say that?

We're all good friends, right?

We'll look at it and learn together!

It will be really valuable!

Okay..

How are you going to open it without a key?

Yeah.

I have a hair pin.

Isn't that how it's done on TV?

It opens just like that.

If no one's been a thief,

they wouldn't know how to do it.

I have pliers.

That's not bad.

Nah, that's not good.

If the pliers damage the lock,

Jin Dao Granny will have you killed.

I'll return it to you.

So how?

Actually I can open it.

Then quickly open it!

You really know how to use a hair pin to open it?

Be careful!

If you spoil it, you're dead.

Quiet down...

Why isn't it...

It can't be.

These are all photographs

of Jin Dao Granny when she was young.

Jin Dao Granny was really trendy when she was young.

This isn't a cookbook,

I want to throw up looking at it.

What?

Let's quickly put this disgusting thing away,

okay?

This is scary, let's not look at it anymore.

I'm afraid that I'll have nightmares; I'm scared.

I tell you,

this thing will bring us bad luck.

We'll be cursed with bad luck!

Let's quickly lock it up.

Lock...

No wonder she wanted to lock it up.

Who'll be unlucky?!

Who'll be having nightmares?!

Who are you talking about?!

Miss Universe Pageant!

The lady of my dreams!

What a flower!

Chocolate!

I want to get a girlfriend like that!

Kiss it.

An angel!

Hello, Bai Hui?

It's He Ma.

Yeah.

You're probably busy at the moment,

so you can't answer your phone.

I was thinking that, if you have the time,

maybe we could go out and eat together

and experience the food that other chefs cook.

He Ma...

Okay I'll call you again soon, Bai Hui.

Yep, bye bye.

Where has Xiao Qiang gone?

Did she tell you?

Xiao Qiang.

Xiao Qiang...

She went to have a midnight snack with Fat B!

Who was the cashier today?

How come we're short of so much cash?

Where are you going? Aren't you eating?

Hey, don't go out!

Help out here first, then go!

We're shorthanded.

Why are you being so secretive?

Didn't I go buy vegetables in the afternoon?

I didn't bring cash,

so I took some out.

We're missing about NT $2500.

NT $2500...

On the way back,

I went to get more cash...

Exactly NT $2500.

Take it first.

What did you buy that was so expensive?

Yeah,

I'm finding it really expensive, too.

I want to run away from Master,

to run away from this relationship.

However,

after increasing the distance between us,

it makes me miss him even more.

She's just next door,

we're only separated by a wall.

I think I'll never be able

to cross that wall.

All love relationships

must have two people who share the same mutual love, right?

My feelings for Master

is useless onesided love.

I don't even have the courage

to tell Master, "I like you."

It can't be helped at all.

I like you a lot.

I really like you a lot!

I don't have He Ma's courage.

I was going to eat something.

Recently a roasted eel rice shop opened nearby.

I heard that it's good.

Do you want to come along?

I'm not hungry, you can go.

Okay.

Then I'll bring some back for you.

Oh right,

do you want Miso Soup

or Seaweed soup?

I'll bring both back.

Oh and

I heard the vinegar eel liver

is really good too.

I'll also bring some of that

for you to eat.

Bye.

Don't be so nervous later on.

Just talk a bit more and it'll be okay.

I'll be standing there.

If there are any problems,

just wave at me

or glare at me.

Don't be nervous, you can do it!

5, 4, 3, 2...

Welcome to the

"Creative Cooking" Gourmet Food Show!

I'm Crab Sister!

And I'm Pumpkin Sister!

Today is our 190th episode!

Why are we so popular?

Because I'm a good crab!

As if!

It's because we introduce

famous and delicious food!

Yes...

Today, what famous and delicious food

are we going to present to the audience?

Today,

we have a handsome man on our show!

Let us welcome

Nantes Forest's Fang Zhi Tian!

Head Chef Fang!

He was a head chef

in a French two star restaurant!

I know what the restaurant is!

I heard that it's that...

La-what-the-hell?

It's Lasserre restaurant.

Lasserre...

It's very famous...

Head Chef Fang,

Smile... talk a bit!

What...

Head Chef Fang.

Cut.

Assistant Director!

Sorry, Director.

Sorry, Director.

You have to talk.

Did you rehearse your lines?

Yes, sorry...

Look at the hosts.

They're putting in a lot of effort.

I'm extremely sorry.

Sorry Director, sorry.

You have to introduce the dishes, too!

Don't you know how to introduce your own food?

If we were going to say everything,

then you wouldn't have to come.

Exactly.

How are we going to record like this?

You didn't even say the name of the dish.

You're so arrogant.

Head Chef Fang,

please say something, okay?

It's very hard for us to record like that.

Sorry, Director.

He's not used to being on camera.

Sorry...

Forget it...

Okay, let's try again.

Look at the head chef's cubes.

He's cut them really well!

How long have you trained to acquire this skill?

It must have been at least 20 years!

Yeah.

Wait the chef is so young!

Then your knife,

can you just use one cut and like,

take a look,

cut the crab claw like that?

Just to ask,

that kind of knife,

do you have to get someone to make it specially for you?

And for a professional chef like you,

how many knives do you use?

And how often do you change your knives?

Could you explain it for us...

Cut...

The program is ending soon,

and you have yet to say a word.

You can make good food and yet you can't talk?

If you're that great at talking,

do it yourself.

Do it yourself!

What kind of an attitude is that?

Zhi Tian...

Who was the one who chose this restaurant?

I did.

I'm so sorry, Director.

Director.

The next time you choose a restaurant,

you'd better do it properly.

Yes...

Zhi Tian.

Wait a minute.

Zhi Tian,

you're leaving just like this?

Fang Zhi Tian!

Otherwise?

I tried so hard to arrange this program for you.

I know the content is a little childish,

but that food critic

is really famous.

As long as he is willing to say that the restaurant is good,

it will be the next big thing.

In order to let you be on this program,

do you know how many advertisements I have to sell?

You don't have to do this!

Zhi Tian,

this is the reality.

This program,

is the most popular gourmet program.

And it is also the fastest way

of letting you become a Top Chef.

Did I say I wanted this?

Why do I have to do this?

I'm not a Top Chef.

I have to do this.

Everyone wants a brand nowadays.

Brand named clothes,

brand named cars.

Even the restaurant they dine in have to be a brand.

Those people are willing to spend tons of money

at a high end restaurant

just to be popular.

If we don't follow this wave,

we will become obsolete.

Good food

will never become obsolete.

As a chef,

the most important thing is the cuisine itself

and not depending on just looks.

I don't need them to look at me.

I only need them to focus

on my cuisine.

Can't you just go along with it?

This is only a process.

And I guarantee,

after this,

there will never be another.

There will never be another.

You don't understand me at all.

Zhi Tian,

what are they gonna do

if you leave just like this?

Once you're gone, they'll have to re-film everything.

What you have arranged by yourself,

you'll have to be responsible for.

Nantes Forest is your restaurant,

not mine.

I don't want to go along with something

that I don't want to do.

I want to quit.

Wait.

You're quitting just like that?

How can you be so irresponsible?

You know I have never stayed long at any of the restaurants I've been at.

Anyway, I'm just an irresponsible man.

He Ma wasn't doing so well at first,

but it seems like he's doing much better now.

Really?

Yeah.

All right.

Sister Bai Hui, I'll go get busy.

I thought

you wouldn't come even if I had invited you.

You...

Are you avoiding me?

Why would I?

It's just that Amour is a little busier these days.

Try this.

This is something new I made.

French blue ribbon eel pie.

Try it.

It should be pretty good.

I used blue ribbon eel.

And...

Zhi Tian...

Really. Look at this...

Turn up the volume.

I'm Crab Sister!

And I'm Pumpkin Sister!

Really!

Today is our 190th episode!

Look, he looks so good in that uniform.

Turn up the volume...

It's hilarious.

It's because we introduce

famous and delicious food!

It's Zhi Tian...

He's expressionless.

What's up?

Who's our special guest?

Today, we have a handsome man on our show!

Let us welcome

Nantes Forest's Fang Zhi Tian!

He's cool.

Look! They're calling his name.

Look at his skill with the knife.

It's beautiful.

It'd be better if he smiled more.

Look.

He looks really stern.

La-what-the-hell?

It's Lasserre restaurant.

Looking at Master's expression,

he must be furious.

What kind of creative cooking is this?

I don't think that he would

do things like this before.

Mr. Mo is a really famous critic.

Do you have the confidence to take on his iron palate?

Are you confident...

French chefs

are always so cool.

We have to talk to him in French.

Bai Hui,

you haven't been here in a long time.

You just liven things up

when you are here.

I've been busier lately.

It must be that you wanted to catch Master

on the program together with all of us.

Why does Bai Hui want to catch Master Zhi Tian?

It must be because of love!

Of course not.

It's because I haven't seen all of you in a while.

It must be.

I think the both of you

might have been together for a long time already.

Really?!

I couldn't tell.

You're so childish!

Admit it, Bai Hui.

Admit what?

Gui Ye, you're talking nonsense.

It's not nonsense.

Master Zhi Tian's girlfriend is Miss Ke Xin.

Then why are you blushing?

Why are you blushing?

Go take your seat. I have to eat.

Gui Ye!

The fish you've been delivering recently is not fresh.

And the eyes are rolled over.

I don't care how much leftover stock you have,

we're a restaurant here.

Do you want our customers to fall sick?

Or should I just make dried salted fish?

I...

Sometimes I deliver fresh fish, too.

Sometimes?!

How can it be sometimes?

If it happens again,

I'll not order from you again.

He Ma.

What?!

You sounded so dynamic!

I thought Zhi Tian was back.

Boss.

Zhi Tian,

how come you're back?

Weren't you on the TV...

What?

Can I order Chinese food?

No... No problem...

Come...

How is it? What do you want to eat?

Do you want to try He Ma's new dish?

French blue ribbon eel pie.

All right, I'll have this.

He Ma,

your Master is gonna try your dish.

Why did you turn it off?

Yeah, how come?

What's there to watch?

Why are Master's and his apprentice's tempers so bad?

Master, coffee for you?

Thanks.

Here...

Have some cake.

Thank you...

Do you want some?

Master.

Master.

How come you're free to be here today?

You're usually pretty busy during lunch.

Didn't think I'd see you here today.

I'm here for lunch.

Bai Hui, your voice has turned gentle.

Says who?!

I was just saying that Master is so busy during lunch.

If he's here today,

what is happening with lunch at Nantes Forest?

They will find someone who suits them.

I'm not suitable.

Master, don't tell me you've quit again.

That's right.

I don't want to work there anymore.

It's only the 3rd day.

Anyway...

I think,

I'm more comfortable

hanging out with everyone here.

That's right...

This should have been the way from the start.

Finally.

Master, why?

Didn't you just help the restaurant

with the promoting?

Yeah, that program on TV was pretty good.

That's right.

A super dull Zhi Tian.

You even had make-up on,

just like a boy toy.

It gets better each time.

I was sure he'd never been on TV.

Look at his face, he's scared to death.

Here... whose turn is it?

Play a card.

3 of clubs.

I'll win all of your fish.

I guess you didn't want

to be on that TV program.

It's been hard on you.

But for the sake of Nantes Forest.

Nantes Forest is very different

from the other restaurants?

Isn't that

yours and Ke Xin's dream?

My dream wouldn't be so superficial.

But...

But by doing this,

you totally didn't consider

what your girlfriend would think.

Who told you that she's my girlfriend?

But I delivered food

to your house for her recently.

Master,

your French blue ribbon eel pie is ready.

You're really good at not cutting your fingers.

Really!

Look everyone,

good things are worth waiting for.

After such a long wait,

I believe this has to be delicious.

It looks really delicious.

Look at how well he did it, the sauce.

Head Chef,

do you want to introduce

this sauce to the audience?

How did you make this sauce,

such that it has such a special colour?

That...

That one,

That raspberry... that plum...

It's raspberry based.

Right...

No wonder it's a plum kinda colour.

This tomato sauce,

is made with red and yellow tomatoes?

Think the chef really made use of

yellow and red tomatoes

to create the contrast.

This is also

one of the main types of French placement.

Master.

Master, I'll do it.

It's okay.

I'm jobless anyway.

Master,

you're... really not returning to Nantes Forest?

Of course not.

Then...

What do you plan to do now?

Why don't you return to Little Bear?

Everyone misses you anyway.

I don't think so.

I'll be moving back to Jin Dao's place for the time being.

To relax a little.

I'll think about the future later.

Anyway...

Anyway, a chef

should also have periods of peace.

But Master,

here...

This is your Little Bear.

Why would it be?

You have found your unique taste.

And Little Bear

is starting to have more of your own style.

I think that's a great thing.

But Master,

I still think...

He Ma,

everyone has a place that only belongs to them.

You're already the head here.

It is a kitchen that only you can handle.

I'm very proud

to be able to have an outstanding apprentice like you.

Hey!

We have customers at Table 3.

Stop pretending to wash dishes when the both of you are skiving.

Quickly.

Go.

Me...

What're they having?

Hamburgers

and fried noodles.

Smells so good.

I want one, too.

I'll give you 3 of them.

3?

You said it.

What I'm doing is because of you. Is it wrong being this way?

You leaving... pains me until I can't breathe. ~Ke Xin.

What's up?

Is this for real?

I thought your boyfriend

had to be rich.

Rich men don't love me.

How would that be fun?

Girls still want to

have a sweet, romantic relationship.

What does your boyfriend do?

He's working in the same company as me.

He's from the working class

with a monthly salary of less than NT $35,000.

Congratulations!

You both look really happy together.

It's too early for congratulations.

We're only dating.

Marriage-wise...

we'll see.

How're about you?

You and your Master,

how is it coming along?

Totally zilch.

But Master is single again.

I don't know if that is considered good news.

You have to tell him that you like him.

If you don't say it, how will he know?

You want me to confess?

How is that possible?

I can't say it.

I was the one

who initiated and confessed to him.

I was shocked by her confession.

And then... she was very honest.

I don't have the guts.

All right, give up on your Master then.

See if there is anyone else suitable

outside of your work.

Outside of work?

I don't have anything outside of work.

Don't you go Karaoke?

Or pubs, clubs, etc?

And you've never even tried a group date?

Hey, cavemen used to be young, too.

You can't carry on like this.

You can't just keep

hanging on to your Master like this.

You'll both get bored.

How are you gonna fall in love like this?

I think you should just quickly change your target.

Otherwise, you'll be left on the shelf.

To think that in my world,

besides food and the restaurant,

there is nothing else.

And in my eyes...

there is only Master.

Forget it. Stop thinking about it.

Looking at your stubborn face,

I don't think you can switch to another target.

I think

you only have the confession left as a solution.

You don't know how?

I'll teach you.

I'll teach you.

That is...

It's possible.

What?

Jin Dao Granny!

What's going on?

I was thinking...

Why were you looking for me?

Dinner.

I wanted to have dinner.

This restaurant is really famous.

It was in the newspapers.

I'm very familiar with it. Let's go in.

Madam Boss, it's been a long time.

Jin Dao Granny, I haven't seen you in a while.

How have you been?

Very good.

The fish dishes today

were especially created for our new friends

by the Chef.

There're things that girls will prefer,

like "Peony Prawn,"

and "Black Drum." (a type of fish)

Then, Gel Foods,

since they are good for the body.

Thanks.

It's our first time meeting.

Hello.

Please enjoy.

Thank you.

So they're not a couple?

Zhi Tian is a person who takes relationships very seriously.

I'm sure you can't tell.

You think he's a cold-blooded killer.

Cold-blooded killer? That's right.

He doesn't reveal his feelings easily.

You wouldn't know

if he's happy or sad.

When he thinks someone is his benefactor,

he will repay them

with his life.

Ke Xin and Nantes Forest

are his benefactors.

That's due to your influence, right?

I really don't know if I should be happy

or sad.

Master is leaving,

he must be feeling terrible on the inside.

What a focused expression.

Bai Hui, why are you not eating?

I'm gonna eat.

I'll be travelling South for a holiday

to visit some old friends.

You must work hard in the competition.

I really hope to see a lady

become a chef.

You're going South?

Alone?

Should you do that?

I'll be worried.

You should be worried about yourself.

I'm gonna visit some old friends.

They're all my benefactors.

I wanna visit them

while I am still able to travel.

It is Jin Dao Granny's kind of attentiveness

that influenced Zhi Tian.

Just like how Jin Dao Granny is towards food and cuisine,

always appreciating it like it is the last time she is gonna taste it.

This appreciation

made me fall in love with Master.

It makes one feel...

that it's worth it...

to be one of his lifetime...

good friends.

What exactly are you thinking about?

I think you haven't placed

any importance on the competition at all!

I can disqualify you just because of that.

I'll work hard.

I hope that I can give you good news

when you get back.

You are unable to settle your emotions.

Of course, love is also very important.

Is Jin Dao Granny psychic?

How did she know what I was thinking about?

Strange.

Why did she go to the South for no reason?

You mean Jin Dao Granny

is going to the South for a holiday?

That's right.

She said she was going to visit some old friends,

and she didn't want to wait till she can't walk.

That's good.

We can take a break during this period.

I can relate with her mood.

Once you start getting old,

you don't know if you'll have the opportunity

to meet old friends again.

You always hope to be able to thank the ones who had helped you

during your living years.

Then when you leave this world,

you will have no regrets.

Why do all of you keep talking about

such sad things?

Bai Hui,

a person's time is limited.

This is a fact that you can't escape from.

So,

as long as you have things that you want to do,

you should treasure every opportunity.

Including relationships.

That's right.

Girl,

you should be setting your mind on the competition.

Although I'm very frightened,

I still want to give it a try.

This competition

is a very good opportunity for me.

Thinking about it,

even if I fail,

I'll not have any regrets.

Girl.

Very good!

Since you have decided,

you must work hard to win.

That's not necessary.

It's okay not to win.

Even if I don't get a prize,

it is still a kind of training.

Right?

Relax, everyone.

You don't have to be so serious.

Let's start working on our strategy.

That's right.

We'll start from seafood.

We'll have to confirm

what Bai Hui's best cuisine is.

You're right.

We'll have to think long and hard on it.

Bai Hui, keep it up.

Keep it up.

Look here, look here.

Bai Hui, you have to pay attention.

The first stage

is verification of eligibility.

So you'll need to submit 2 photographs.

One is a photograph of the cuisine,

the other is

a photograph of the chef with the cuisine.

The second stage is

segregating into the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western areas.

Every area will select representatives

to take part in a round which will be held in the North.

And from this round,

they'll select 10 finalists.

And then it's the third stage.

The 10 finalists will

take part in the final competition.

Strange.

The vegetable fried rice I made this morning,

there's so little left?

Oh no.

Only half of the fried rice that I'm gonna use for the claypot rice tonight

is left.

Do you know why?

Nah, I don't know.

Fat B must have eaten it.

Fat B? Fat B wasn't here.

Xiao Qiang,

how did you manage the register?

How come we're NT $1000 plus short again?

Tell my dad that you didn't see me.

Why are you behaving so suspiciously lately?

Make it clear before you go.

You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

Xiao Qiang.

Boss, the bill please.

All right.

Hello, Sister Xiao Qiang!

Look,

it's bread and milk!

And we also have vegetable fried rice!

How come there are so many kids?

What is Xiao Qiang doing?

Sister Xiao Qiang, I'm so hungry.

Okay, I'll go cook for you.

I want some milk.

Then you and Lei Lei get some for your sisters.

All right?

Okay, I want milk.

So the fried rice was for them.

Xiao Qiang, come get the chopsticks.

Go set the table.

The vegetable fried rice is ready.

Daddy...

Thanks, let me...

The dad who brought his kid to the restaurant the last time.

So it's like this.

How come you're back so early today?

We had an accident at the construction site today.

A worker fell off from the scaffolding.

The police came.

Our head was afraid there might be trouble,

so he told us to take off early.

Your job is really dangerous.

Not really.

Have some dinner, okay?

Is it good?

Do you like it?

I'll make it for you again next time.

Relax a little.

Here, relax.

Smile...

That's right.

Good, here.

That's right, just like this.

Okay, relax yourself.

Imagine that you're outdoors.

There's the wind and the birds calling.

Yup.

Just like this.

That's a good expression.

Okay... totally relax.

You're slowly taking off.

I'm telling you, the best way to confess

is to let the other party

confess first.

Creat a romantic atmosphere.

Let your bodies touch unknowingly.

And then try to seduce him with your eyes.

If he's too much of a blockhead,

you can also take advantage of the romantic candlelight

to get near your Master.

And slowly,

slowly express yourself,

that you want...

I'm telling you,

the enemy of male hormones

are the female hormones.

Even if he doesn't kiss you,

you must kiss him.

Right, just like this.

When a guy is kissed

until his face and ears are red,

no matter what you ask of him,

he'll say yes... right...

After you're done kissing,

you can ask your Master shyly,

"Master,

you...

Do you like me?"

Miss Chef,

you are taking eligibility photos for the competition.

Do you think you're an actress trying out for a movie?

Why do you have so many expressions?

I'm sorry.

The colour of the vegetables have changed.

Prepare another one.

We'll take it again later.

Yes.

You think I don't know what you're thinking about?

If Zhi Tian was really here infront of you,

would you dare to have so many expressions?

I'll re-do it.

Bai Hui, your expressions were really amusing.

You can really act cute.

Dumbo.

Stop making fun of her.

My God.

I'm so nervous just thinking about it.

Ah Bi, how can I confess?

What if I confess,

and Master chooses to reject me?

Will I destroy this relationship

that Master and I have

painstakingly built?

No way.

I absolutely cannot confess.
