Oh, so this is the Legendary cookware that was dormant for a thousand years.
Coiled Dragon Pot.
It looks stylish, but there's more than meets the eye here.
Shou An's final act was to give me the other half of my Mom's Recipe book.
It contains instructions on making the secret Kikka Sauce.
So this is Kikka Sauce!
No way! It should take at least six months to ferment and mature.
This is it! The sauce that distinguishes the taste of Kikkaro!
Yes. It's deep, smooth, and savory.
The second Legendary cookware we found was the Coiled Dragon Pot.
This mysterious pot gathers chi from the Universe, and instantly ferments and matures food put in it.
We heard legends of a cooking tool in Szechuan province.
So we bid goodbye to Sanche, and left Shanghai to find the third tool.
Sanche, farewell!
Save Shell! A Tempest of Noodles!!
W-what did you say? Someone stole all our money?!
Yeah, probably at the restaurant we were just at.
Well, nothing we can do!
N-no way... N-no way...
Geez, what an idiot.
Dammit, we're camping out tonight because of Shell!
Shell, you're totally helpless when you're drunk.
Don't say that. I'm really sorry about that.
Is that so?
An empty house? No one seems to be living here.
Let's stay here for the night, Brother Mao.
It's gotta be better than camping out. How lucky!
What is that?
Shilou...
Shilou!
Come back, you!
A monkey? A monkey?
Wait there, damn you!
Wha?
Shilou!
Hi there.
Hey, that's the monkey. Get over here, you!
Did Goro do something to you?
Did something? Look at these scratches on my face!
Shilou, we were trespassing.
We apologize for entering your house without permission.
Oh no. This is just an empty house.
We're trespassing here too.
What? An empty house?
We're a troupe of traveling acrobats.
We're used to traveling on a shoestring, as you can see.
If you don't mind, would you like some home-made cooking?
We're still preparing it though.
Are you trying to make dumplings this way?
Are we doing it wrong?
I guess I have no choice.
All right! We're traveling on a shoestring too!
Let me cook for you tonight!
I'll help you too, Shell. They have enough ingredients.
W-what's this?
That's something new. Rock tripe.
Uh, excuse me, but you guys are?
You guys are traveling acrobats, so we're kinda like traveling chefs.
Seven-Colored Dumplings a la carte!
Completed!
This is so good! So delicious!
Hey! Hands off, monkey!
How is it? Isn't it good?
Now, drain your cup in one go!
My head hurts.
You drank too much. Here, have some water.
The acrobats have disappeared.
They must have left quietly so they don't wake us up.
There he is! That's him!
W-what are you doing?
Who are you people?
We're officers of the law.
If you give us trouble, we'll take you in for aiding and abetting.
Man, I have a bad hangover.
What did I do—
That hurt...
Are you sure this is the man?
I'm sure, Magistrate Ramen.
He broke into the house where I was worked last night.
He hurt my master, and stole money and property.
What? I've been sleeping here totally drunk last night!
You're under arrest for banditry. Take him away!
Wait a minute, damn it! Don't fabricate charges!
Ouch...
What are you doing? Stop it!
Shell's been with us the whole of last night!
- Shut up! Don't interfere!
Damn it. What the heck's going on?
Hey, tell me what's going on! Let me out!
We can't release him.
He's a bandit. We have a witness.
Please investigate more carefully!
How many times do we have to tell you, Mr. Tiger Whiskers?!
We can arrest you for contempt if you wish.
Magistrate Ramen, Shell would never do something like that.
I'm sure you have the wrong man.
Then bring him to me.
Please wait, Magistrate Ramen!
Oh yes, I almost forgot. We execute bandits in this town.
Execute?!
At five in the afternoon, I'll execute him myself for banditry.
E-execute...
No way! You didn't investigate this properly!
Leon!
Those acrobats are the bandits!
We must capture them to exonerate Shell!
That's impossible, Leon! We don't know where they ran off to.
No, but we must do something!
Wait, Leon.
If you go after them, head in the direction of Mount Huang.
Why do you say that, Mao?
I remember that they had rock tripe among their ingredients.
And Mount Huang is known for its rock tripe.
Plus they grow on cliffs, so people use monkeys to harvest rock tripe.
They had a monkey with them!
Stupid monkey!
I see now. So their hideout might be located there.
All right. Mao, take care of things while I'm gone!
Be careful, Leon.
Don't be too hasty, Magistrate. It's too premature to execute him today.
You're stubborn, Deputy. We have an eyewitness testimony.
You've recently held a lot of executions without enough scrutiny.
Care to explain why?
What do you mean by that?
Anyway, I suggest you investigate this matter more before killing him.
Be aware of your position, Deputy!
I advise you to prepare for the execution instead.
What? I thought you knew a lot about cooking!
Kinda. I'm a chef in training!
What's Brother Mao doing, palling around when Big Brother Shell's gonna be executed?
It's only five hours until the execution.
What should we do?
It's rock tripe!
These lichen only grow in selected areas of Mount Huang.
They're close.
Is this it?
They aren't acrobats. Bandits more like it.
I'm surprised that you found us.
If you just let your friend die, you would have lived.
Die!
Twenty minutes left till the execution!
This is the end! Leon isn't back, he won't make it!
Big Brother Shell's gonna die! What can I do?
Shilou...
What's that noise?
He's doing something strange again.
He's making noodles when Shell's about to be executed. But why?
Making Spirit-Calming Noodles? That's not funny, Brother Mao.
We'll save Shell.
The only way I know how!
What do you mean, Mao?
Magistrate Ramen, it's time.
You imbecile, I told you I'm innocent!
Investigate this properly, damn you!
What are you doing? Let me go!
To think we're still searching for the cookware.
I'm sorry, Mao.
Are you sure this is going to work, Mao?
I'm worried...
What is this?
Would you like some?
Why are they cooking noodles here?
Magistrate Ramen, it's time for the execution.
You must hurry.
Will you shut up for a while?
Give it to meeeee!
Let me at those noodles!
Chicken soup spiced up with dark vinegar!
And the stimulation of hot spices!
Carefully-kneaded bouncy noodles!
My nose was right, these are top-rate noodles!
Please, let me have another!
Sure, but please take your time in the room over there.
This way please! This way please!
Oh, so you're going to give me more of these noodles?
Hurry up, hurry up!
Sure, coming right up!
Here you go. Thank you for waiting.
Ohhh, this one's with cold sweet coconut milk. It's so good!
But the portion's too small. I want much much more!
Let me eat more of your noodles!
All right. Please wait for a while.
I will. I'll wait no matter how many hours it takes!
Um, Magistrate Ramen...
The execution?
Shut up! You're annoying me!
Are you ready, Mei Li, Shilou?
Ready!
Same here!
Thank you for waiting, Mr. Magistrate sir!
Hurry!
Let's go!
Here, here, here, here!
Here, here, here...
Noodles with different colors and tastes, one after another!
He jumped at our bait. We can buy some time here.
So Mao was in the kitchen to find out the Magistrate's favorite food.
If I combine five different kinds of noodles with every kind of spice here...
There will be close to a hundred variations of noodle dishes.
So I can draw upon Magistrate Ramen's appetite and feed him indefinitely without boring him.
There's lots more coming! Be prepared!
All right! I'll eat no matter how much there is!
This is Liu Mao Xing's Special Noodles: Chameleon Bowl Tower!
Here you go!
M-Magistrate!
Mao's so good! We can gain lots of time like this!
Leon, hurry. Hurry back!
The Magistrate is late. He's over one hour late already.
Imbeciles! Don't falsify your charges! I said I'm innocent!
Be quiet!
What's that?
That was enjoyable! I ate so much, and now I'm full.
Thank you very much. I can't eat any more.
Eh? I'm sure you can eat much more, Magistrate!
Th-that's right, Magistrate. We have hundreds more!
That's right! The best noodles are just coming right out!
Actually, I've prepared special noodles just for you, so please...
I just remembered that you folks are friends of that bandit Shell.
What have I done? I was tricked by such an obvious trap!
Please wait, Magistrate!
Silence. I'm placing you under arrest for interfering with justice!
No way...
Oh no, he's not coming. Leon couldn't make it.
Big Brother Shell!
B-big brother...
Shilou...
Shilou!
Are you ready?
I will send you to the other world in a painless moment.
Now, here it comes!
Shel—
Wh-wha-what?!
Hey you, what are you doing?
Are you sure you want to do this, Magistrate?
What?
I thought you were going to cut my head off.
Big Brother Shell!
Buh buh but... who is this man?
Magistrate, apparently you mistook him for me.
Now you understand, don't you?
The eyewitness to the robbery thought he was me, like you did.
In short, he's the real bandit, head of the Mount Huang Gang.
He dressed himself to look like me, and used a steel stick as a weapon.
So that he could frame his crime on me.
This is part of the stolen goods found in their hideout.
This has been an embarassing misunderstanding.
Give me that. I'll execute the real bandit at once!
Hold it!
What are you doing? Let go!
There's another criminal in our midst.
This man is an important witness who can identify him.
We can't let you kill him, Magistrate.
What are you talking about?
Arrest him, Deputy!
Don't be a sore loser, Magistrate Ramen.
D-deputy...
Magistrate Ramen, the Mount Huang Gang has confessed to everything.
You ordered them to make robberies, and abused your position to allow the crimes to take place.
You're the mastermind of the Mount Huang Gang!
That's ridiculous! What nonsense!
We are secretly investigating the bandits.
When we found their hideout, we met Leon there.
We caught the bandits, and brought them here to switch this man with Shell.
It was fortunate that the execution was delayed.
It wasn't easy to go from here to Mount Huang and return in half a day, Mao.
Leon!
So Leon did make it!
Mao's entrapment noodles worked!
Way to go, Brother Mao!
We did it, we did it!
You're wrong! I don't know these villains! I'm innocent!
If you have anything else to say, do so at the Anhui Provincial Office.
Take him away!
We're so glad, Shell!
- Mao!
Big Brother Shell!
I'm sorry to worry you.
Mao, Shilou, Mei Li, and Leon. Thank you all!
I owe you my life.
An entrapment dish. Well done, Mao.
Hooray!
FREE AS THE WIND
Every night when I fall fast asleep I can hear you whispering in my dreams, feel me.
Then a bluish flame burns bright within Shining, sparkling hotter than ordinary fire.
Look at all the rain gently falling down, Filling over the dry lake bed with freshwater streams.
If we both go down like this inside our hearts, Who knows what places we will find and explore?
Destiny ensured that we both meet at the same present.
Free to frolic like the wandering wind.
Ohhh, can we stay like this until the very end of time?
This intensity I feel for you, is from Cosmic Power...
