Good evening sir, are you ready to order?
OK, let's have a look.
Stir-fried aloe, citrus braised ox liver
Pan-fried oysters, not for too long, medium well will be fine.
Steamed perch, acid-fried goose claw soup
Okay?
Miss, can you bring me some pepper and fish sauce?
One moment.
How did you become such a gourmet?
Have a taste.
Stop it!
An accident.
Green light, go, go.
Jiaqiao, Jiaqiao
The number you have dialed can't be reached at the moment,
Sorry, please try later.
"Four months ago"
He is Jiaqiao, a personality like a child,
he likes to play hide and seek with me.
Sometimes he will really disappear,
it makes me worried and scared.
We're here. Have a look.
This is my gift to you.
I can't accept it.
It's just a gift.
You're already so good to me.
Not good enough.
This year I've been away on business,
I have no time for you. I already owe you.
Even if you choose someone else, or if you feel wronged,
you still need your own place to cry in.
If you don't bully me, I won't have to cry.
Coco
Get in.
Come on, get in.
We'll take you home.
Come on Coco, don't drink anymore.
Cheer up.
Let her drink, it's alright.
How can you be like that, she can't drink!
Come on!
Here, I'll drink with you.
You really are something!
You think drinking can solve problems?
You can only solve them by finding that guy.
Hey, you're a police officer, why don't you help her?
I'm a police officer. I catch bad guys, not just anyone...
Bottoms up!
Ok, bottoms up!
Drink, drink!
Bottom up! Cheers!
"The set up"
Awake?
Where did you go?
Talk... Don't you know I was waiting for you?
Talk! Where did you go?
"Yanzi calling..."
Time to eat.
It's hot. How is it?
Your phone.
Why don't you answer? Its been ringing.
You call this fit for humans?
Just add salt and serve!
What's the matter?
Don't bother me!
Who is it? Jiaqiao?
Jiaqiao
Hi, miss. I'm sorry if I frightened you,
I'm waiting for someone in 1308.
1308 is over there, this is 01 and 02.
I've been waiting for a long time.
Your building is so empty. You're the only open door.
Miss, do you mind if I wait inside for a while?
Watch out, it's dirty.
Let me wipe it up.
No no no, it's too dirty. Let me... Its okay.
I have experience with this, here.
How embarrassing.
Is this your husband?
What a lovely young couple.
What is it?
Looks like you've been hurt.
Who doesn't argue now and then? Don't cry.
It's okay, he's just aggravated lately.
How is it?
It's great.
Men.
Don't be fooled by how impressive they seem in the world,
when they come home they're just kids.
The more difficulties he is in,
the more you need to take care of him.
Make him feel that he has a warm home.
I do want to take care of him.
Look at your place, there's nothing here.
How can you call this a home?
Can you cook?
No
Don't you know?
The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
What am I going to do?
I'll help you.
I don't even know your name.
Gu Xiaofan
Xiaofan, I think you are so professional.
What show did you host on television?
Everyday Gourmet.
No wonder!
Actually, at the time I just talked about food. I couldn't cook.
Now I'm a professional housewife, I cook everyday.
It gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Your husband must be so satisfied.
Satisfied? Actually, men have no idea what satisfaction is.
Hey! This one is nice.
It doesn't matter how it looks.
This one is good.
But I still like this one better.
Listen to me. This one is good.
I'm right.
Coco, okay. Don't be angry at me.
I was in a bad mood that day. I apologize.
Can I take you to dinner?
I want to go home.
Right. Let's go home first.
Wait, wait...
Xiaofan. He's back! Okay.
Hot peppers, coriander, this one, okay!
Go ahead, I've got everything!
Xiaofan, I'm ready.
Coco, what is it? Huh?
Get out, it's not ready.
What are you doing?
No peeking.
Why not?
Xiaofan, what's next?
You scared me.
Isn't it beautiful?
It's beautiful, beautiful. Do you like it?
I love it. Get out.
What are you doing?
Get out.
What are you doing? It will be ready in one second.
Ok, Xiaofan, go ahead.
Ok, and then add salt.
It's done.
Oh, wait a minute. It's overcooked.
I can't talk to you now.
Are you satisfied?
Do you want more?
1st Dish: Lamb ribs cooked with pepper and ginger,
easy to learn and prepare, strengthening potency and aphrodisiac.
"Yanzi calling..."
Smells great!
This is my most favorite dress.
Now that I'm old, I don't dare wear it.
Xiaofan, you aren't old in the least.
It's a gift for you.
Ah! I don't want it.
Take it, it's a gift.
Well, I don't dare!
Let's go, try it on.
You look like me when I was younger.
Come, have a look.
These are tapes recording my cooking shows before.
This is a cookbook that I wrote.
Xiaofan, you are the best!
We had made this dish before, do you still remember how to do?
A woman must learn how to cook.
There is no theorem to cooking, it's just like love.
You must put in enough patience and time.
So there is no such thing as can or cannot,
there is only wanting to or not wanting to.
There's an old saying,
if you can grasp a man's stomach, you can keep his heart.
With perseverance you will definitely catch him.
Xiaofan, he turned off his phone again.
Don't know why he turned off the phone all the time.
Men, always busy.
All my dishes are cold.
Cold, you can heat them up.
Then they taste old.
Then don't heat them,
if he loves you,
he will appreciate your intentions.
Just relax and wait.
He'll come back.
I can't do this, I can't.
Why are you sweating so much?
Hello? Hello?
I'm sorry, I'm late. Hi, Xiaofan.
Everything is ready for you, go on.
Thank you so much! I'd better be off!
Ok, that's fine. Bye
3rd Dish: Steam Crab Fatty meat and tasty,
enable blood circulation and strengthen sexual power,
lower internal flame and prevent sickness.
What tasty things did you make today?
What do you want to eat?
I want to eat... you!
Dinner first.
This one is delicious.
Really good?
Get up.
Get up. You're playing with me, aren't you?
Don't, don't touch me. It hurts.
What's happening to you, Jiaqiao?
Drink slower.
I've got to go.
Where are you going?
I'll have a meeting.
I'll go with you.
No need, I feel a lot better.
Be good.
This one.
4th Dish: Deep-fry Catfish with Lobster Sauce Fresh and mild,
enable body strength and spirit.
Hello. Okay, I'll be right down.
He's back!
Ah, let me do it, let me do it.
It's okay, let me do it.
What is it?
An oven. It's a little reward for you.
Then next time I'll make you roast chicken wings.
Okay, whatever you do is good.
Wow! You made so much food again!
How did you know I love catfish?
I guessed.
Smells great
Delicious!
Xiaofan, you left?
You two are enjoying yourselves together,
why should I interrupt you?
How's that? Does he feel satisfied?
Satisfied, he was even boasting approval.
You are the one he was boasting.
Coco, come and eat.
Coming!
I'll clear the table.
I'll put the oven in the kitchen.
Jiaqiao, what happened?
My chest feels hurt. Oh, don't touch. Don't touch me...
No problems with the liver.
The kidneys are normal.
The pancreas and prostate are normal.
There are no cardiovascular abnormalities.
Lalang root, 8 grams; ginseng root, 2;
snow pear, one; one half pig's lung,
1 liter of water, simmer under low heat for 9 hours.
Come, soup's ready.
What is it?
What is this?
What's wrong with your eyebrows?
What do you mean?
What? What's happening?
Jiaqiao
Chen Jiaqiao
Have a look,
the hair follicles on your body are dying in great number,
and very fast.
This is precisely our hair rejuvenation technology.
We take some living hair follicles from the patients skin,
and then we take a small sample of skin from the head,
through implants it's possible for new hair to grow.
You're going to take some skin off his head?
That's not necessary at this stage,
first we'll try oral medicine.
Hair growth begins in the kidneys, you need to watch yourself.
You can supplement his diet.
This isn't medicine, this is vitamin C.
Vitamin C can cure hair loss, you didn't know that?
Increase your intake o everyday.
Hi, Xiaofan. What should I make tomorrow?
How about you try spicy escargot?
Escargot?
Escargot is a kidney supplement.
Oh, I understand.
Deficient fires are consuming your stomach,
your abdomen is swollen and going astray.
Kidneys are vital organs,
wear them out and they cannot be replenished.
Doctor, my kidneys are fine.
Look at you.
Your eyes are lifeless, your face is ashen, hair loss.
These are classic early signs of renal failure.
What is this?
Poison
Slow down. Wait for me.
Are you hungry? Let's go home and I'll make you something to eat.
Eat! Eat! Eat! That's all you know
Tell me, what have you been feeding me?
What is it? Go! Go!
Everyday I do the shopping and the cooking,
and its all for him, isn't it?
I see him suffering and I'm in pain too.
What young couple doesn't argue?
Wait a few days, have a good meal,
and the resentment will disappear.
I don't want to forgive him.
Nonsense, you'll forgive him.
Come
Look, see what I have brought for the two of you.
Take them home and warm them up,
and you can eat them just like that.
Xiaofan, you are so good to me.
I'm a woman too.
I'm always troubling you to run around.
When can I drop in at your house?
Don't worry,
sooner or later you will come over.
"Disclosed Facts"
Don't you know?
The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
I don't even know your name.
Gu Xiaofan
I'm waiting for the person in 1308.
1308 is over there, this is 01, 02.
Is this the property management office?
I'm the tenant in 1302.
I would like to ask,
do you have the contact number for the tenant in 1308?
1308? Let me have a look.
Ok.
Is that 1308?
1308 has not been sold out yet.
Did you sleep well?
Can I sleep well with all that banging?
Almost finished. It's just missing the fan.
I just don't understand.
It was a fine window, and you had to change it.
You're not sleeping well,
and this one will block more of the sound.
Today is our marriage anniversary.
How could I forget?
Put it on. Let's see.
It's beautiful.
Jiaqiao
Do you remember what you said to me six years ago on this day?
I love you.
You have to trust me.
From this day onwards, I'll love only you.
Right?
Here, put on your coat.
I go to the office now,
tonight I have to fly to Chengdu, I'll be back tomorrow.
Be careful.
Good morning, Mr. Chen
Mr. Chen
These are the decisions we have to make within today.
Okay, thanks.
Today is really a special day.
Because usually,
we are broadcasting live, but only in audio.
Marriage is the most wonderful dish in our lives.
Me, I hope that we can make this dish everlasting.
Today our studio audience is filled with excited guests,
but there is one very special audience member.
We would like to invite her up to the stage.
Hello
Is this a gift for Xiaofan?
It is.
First look at what's written here: "Xiaofan We Support you Eternally"
Of course she is expressing the support of your fans.
Thank you.
Friends and listeners,
this is City Radio 103.6,
I'm your host of Everyday Gourmet, Gu Xiaofan.
Please let me say good night to all of you here.
Thank you.
The patient is taking great amounts of vitamin C,
and consuming large quantities of shrimp.
These two things in his stomach are turning into arsenic.
This is what we call arsenic poisoning.
But what's more serious is,
this is chronic food poisoning.
He has eaten too many things that he shouldn't have.
Actually, many foods shouldn't be eaten together.
Do you know the rules of diet,
that some foods are incompatible with each other?
He hasn't been home for two months.
He has another woman.
Retribution.
This is truly retribution.
You men always like to have your feet in two boats.
But what woman is willing to be merely a lover?
Can I take my husband home?
I'm the head nurse at a maternity hospital.
I know how to care for him.
Yanzi
We're going home.
What has happened to me?
Don't be afraid. They said it was artificially induced hives,
an abnormal strain.
You're too weak now. Your immunity is down.
Don't talk. I know everything.
You have another woman, you nearly ate yourself to death.
Don't be afraid. I'll take good care of you.
Two years, maybe sooner.
You know,
you'll never leave me, and I'll never leave you.
I'm the only person you can trust in the world.
Yanzi
Drink this soup.
Drink a little more. There you go.
Ok, ok.
Don't betray me anymore.
Xiaofan, I want to return your food container.
Let's meet at our usual place.
Hello
Xiaofan, my company has n additional freight to Shanghai,
I have to rush to the airport immediately.
That's fine. We'll do it another day.
Hello, is this Sichuan Airlines?
Is there an extra flight to Shanghai today?
Thank you.
Driver, hurry up please, follow that car.
You're here. Come in.
Who are you?
I'm Jiaqiao's wife.
He told me he wasn't married...
that he spent most of the time in Hong Kong.
I used to think I was pitiful.
Now, I think you are more pitiful.
Where is he?
He's ill.
What's wrong with him?
Food poison. I just rescued him from the hospital.
Do you know why?
Your dishes, my soups,
they reacted, they were incompatible.
You taught me how to make them.
This is the cookbook.
Yours is different from mine.
You only have one half.
This is the first menu.
You made rack of lamb,
I made watermelon lotus seed soup.
That injured his vitality.
Here is the second menu.
You cooked brains, celery, and goose wings with cucumber.
I prepared peanut and black chicken ginseng stewed soup.
If you eat these together,
it will injure his kidneys.
Here is the third menu.
All these things being put together,
will damage his internal organs.
Don't say anymore! Don't say anymore!
This is the fourth menu.
These attack the heart.
Don't you remember?
You made escargot,
I made turtle.
You prepared duck soup,
I stewed lamb.
You are too cruel.
I'm cruel? How could I be cruel?
He tricked both you and me.
He had his feet in two different boats.
Only one man, who told him to eat at two tables?
You are crazy.
I'm crazy.
Let me tell you why I am so insane.
My child is gone.
My womb has been removed.
I'll never be a mother.
My wounds drip blood every day.
My heart has been destroyed by you two!
Cute?
I bought them just after I got pregnant.
Can I have another look at him?
You should leave now. Don't come back again.
Or else,
all of the evidence proves it was you who hurt Jiaqiao.
Coco
Coco, let's go home.
Coco
You know you're pregnant?
You're drinking so much, don't you want your baby?
Jiaqiao
look
Yanzi
I know, everything is my fault.
Let's leave.
Go somewhere new.
Let's start a new life.
Okay?
Why you still don't understand?
Have some soup.
Hi
I want to see you.
But we agreed not to see each other again.
In one hour, at the teahouse.
Everything is here. There is nothing between us.
I'll put the house key in the mailbox.
You have your plane ticket?
Why are you so upset? You're going home, you should be happy.
Don't patronize me please.
I sympathize with you,
but I really loathe when you act like that.
You can be assured that I won't have any contact with you.
I only met with you today to beg you,
please be kind to Jiaqiao.
When did this happen?
What are you talking about?
I'm the chief nurse at a maternity hospital,
did you think you could conceal this from me?
Wow! Airplane, little airplane! Fly! Fly!
He's okay, he's epileptic.
Jiaqiao, we're having a baby.
"A Trap"
Coco
I want to tell you that I'm sorry.
I lied to you.
Yanzi told me about your pregnancy.
I am truly sorry.
Can you give me ne more chance?
Let me see you one more time.
I don't want to see you.
Just give me one chance, if not I will be regretful.
What are you going to do?
I don't want to live.
Jiaqiao
Can you release me now? Huh?
Didn't we agree?
I only have to bring her here.
And then you will let me go. Now she's here.
Yanzi, you can't go back on your word.
Let me go!
You can't leave.
We have to take care of her together.
You want this child. It has nothing to do with me.
You're its father.
Open the door!
Let me go!
What are you doing?
Open the door!
The password is in my heart.
I won't tell you.
How can you not empathize with me a little?
You bear the child,
and I'll let you go.
You're crazy.
This child is our only hope.
Crazy
Open up
Don't be afraid, I'll take good care of you.
I was the head nurse at a maternity hospital,
I'm an expert midwife.
Hey, Coco called me.
I went to Haike Apartments, C-5201,
can you come over?
I'm afraid something has happened to him.
In recent years,
our company has been constantly expanding business,
Jiaqiao's health has been spoiled.
We are preparing to go Australia for an extended holiday.
To rehabilitate and refresh.
Any further company matters will be allocated amongst you.
Specific questions will be addressed to Mr. Li.
Here is Jiaqiao's letter of intent.
What's that?
That is Mr. Chen's security box.
Coco
Jiaqiao
Tell me what's inside of it.
What other secrets are you keeping from me?
What is the code?
Tell me!
Your birthday?
My birthday?
Our wedding anniversary?
Isn't falling in love wonderful?
Why can't you make women satisfied?
Women are all the same,
in the end they all want to get married.
But they still don't understand,
marriage and falling in love re two different things.
Today is the one-year anniversary of my marriage.
I feel like everything is blessed.
I want to celebrate,
by giving myself a present.
It looks like leaving her is the only way to...
maintain the feeling of being in love.
But I want to make her remember me.
So let's give her an apartment.
Anyway, women are all practical creatures.
At that time, no one is in debt to each other.
Right?
I've never been in love with a flight attendant.
Their personalities are always wrapped up in their uniforms.
I really want to know,
what are they like when they aren't wearing uniforms?
She wants me to go to Qingdao to see her parents.
Looks like another apartment has to be given out.
"Relieved"
I really never imagined that...
I would be sharing a meal with the two of you.
The soup is a little bland,
you didn't simmer it long enough.
Did you prepare it?
The crispy-skinned shrimp...
tastes exactly the same as when you made it 10 years ago.
Too much lemon.
It's a little sour,
but I like it.
Do you love me?
You love me, right?
But what do you two love about me?
Or are you only in love with yourselves?
Now I'm satisfied,
content.
This is what you both wanted.
A man with no secrets...
am I still lovable?
So blessed!
I'm full.
Jiaqiao
you should eat.
Otherwise, the food will get cold.
The sun is great today.
Are you comfortable?
We're together again.
We're so blessed. Are we dreaming?
Come on.
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
You're lying.
I love you!
You have to trust me.
And from this day onwards,
I'll love only you.
