Episode 18
Okay. Get ready for business.
The renovation is almost done.
After that, they will come and inspect the place.
If there are no problems,
we can start operations.
I've found a supplier also
It's at 16 Fu Ma Tou.
I know their boss. I can get a discount.
So how, Hao Feng?
How do you feel?
I'm okay with whatever you say.
Where do you plan to live now?
I will find a hotel near the restaurant.
It's more convenient this way.
Actually, you can temporarily
stay at my place.
Anyway, I live alone.
I also have a vacant room.
The restaurant is going to start operations soon.
There are still many things to be prepared.
Staying close by
will save time.
Okay. I will listen to you.
Yang Yang. I'm here on delivery.
Put it in our storehouse.
Okay.
Sister Xiao Xia. Where is Second Brother?
He moved out from the restaurant today.
He has a nice place to live here, why did he move out?
Xiao Hui's Western Restaurant is going to open soon. He needs to plan the menu and hire staff. He will be working very late.
He's afraid of disturbing us from our rest. That's why he moved out.
Sister Xiao Xia. Why didn't you stop him?
He is going to realise his dream. Why should I stop him?
I'm doomed. Wouldn't Yang Yang have the opportunity now?
Even though Sister Xiao Xis is not interested in Yang Yang,
but I can't let Yang Yang have the opportunity to get close to Sister Xiao Xia.
No. I must protect my love. I must think of a solution.
I got it.
Dad. I have something urgent.
Something has happened to me.
What has happened to you? Tell dad and I will take care of it for you.
I want to resign.
What are you talking about? Why are you resigning?
You are just looking after the shop and are not that busy.
Dad. It's because the shop is not busy, that's why I'm resigning. Yang Yang definitely can't handle it alone.
So, I want to come over here to help.
Listen to me. You ...
Dad. I'm begging you.
Okay.
Don't resign immediately. This child ...
These dishes
were the top finds in our survey at the publication house.
The people's recommendations are not bad.
Take a look.
These dishes are too extravagent.
The cost is very high. I'm afraid that half of the consumers may not accept them.
Western cuisine is all about concept and fine dining.
If they want to have common food, they can go to an ordinary restaurant.
Furthermore, you are the 3-starred chef awarded by the Culinary Arts Association.
Only you are worthy of this award.
Trust me. With my many years of experience in fine dining,
I know very well what the consumers want.
Why don't we do this? We will offer a special set for each week.
This will allow the ordinary customers to try the set.
What do you think?
Let's try this first.
Aunt.
Yang Guang.
You haven't recovered from your illness yet. Why did you come down?
That's right. Why did you get up?
When I woke up, I went to Uncle Hao Feng's room to look for him.
I didn't see him. Where did he go?
Yang Guang. Uncle Hao Feng has gone to realize his dream.
For a short period of time, he won't be able to come back and see you.
Then, how could he bear to go without aunt and I?
Yang Guang. Don't be sad.
Uncle Hao Feng didn't abandon you.
It's because Uncle Hao Feng's Western restaurant is going to open soon. He has to prepare many things.
So, he has moved out for the time being.
Uncle Hao Feng wanted me to tell you that
regarding the amusement park, he will take you there another day.
Yang Guang. You wanted to go to the amusement park?
This way then.
I will take you there.
Next week, the restaurant is closed.
I will take you and aunt there.
There is no meaning in going with an overgrown kid.
Overgrown kid?
I'm a man of undefeatable spirit.
I was the previous head waiter of the restaurant.
I'm now the head chef of the Chen Traditional Restaurant.
Look. I'm not the person I used to be. Okay?
Where is the difference? You are still the same person who peeked at my mangas.
Did you hear that? Even Yang Guang say that about you. Gaming and reading mangas just like a small kid.
No. Dad. I ...
Hi, everyone. I'm here.
Why are you dragging your suitcase here?
I'm the service staff, From today onwards, I will be working here.
You don't need to pay me any salary, Just take care of my food and lodging.
No. I'm the head chef there.
I object.
You!
Uncle Chen.
Uncle Chen. Let me stay here, okay? I know you dote on me the most, right?
Uncle Hao Feng happpens to be not around. His room is vacant. Stay as long as you like.
Look. The restaurant has Xiao Xiao. It will be more boisterous.
Thank, Uncle Chen.
I object!
Second Brother and I share the same room.
There is only a dividing door between us.
How could a single man and woman stay together?
Isn't there a dividing door? What are you afraid of?
What if I was changing clothes and when you get up, you sneak a peek at me? What am I going to do?
Who wants to peek at you? To add further. Since we were young, I have already seen everything.
You!
I'm okay with it.
Why did you touch my clothes?
I'm now a part of the Chen family.
Of course, I need to do the house chores for you,
I will do my part and help you to wash your clothes.
Do the laundry? Can you do it?
How can you say that? I'm being kind hearted.
Do you know how stupid you are? These clothes are hard to clean.
Not only will I get your clothes washed clean, I will also not spoil my hands. I have all the beautiful qualities.
You have beautiful qualities?
Why can't I see it?
You!
What?
You are a staff of the restaurant. Doing the laundry is your duty in the first place.
Since you like to do the laundry so much. Do the curtains and bedsheets tomorrow.
Chen Li Yang!
Can you keep quiet? I've a lot of things to do tomorrow, It's already so late and you're howling like a wolf.
Anyway, I don't have anything to do tomorrow.
I can get up late tomorrow.
If you think that I'm noisy. You use cotton wool to cover your ears.
You won't hear anything this way. I said that you were stupid and you still don't admit it.
You!
If you keep messing with me,
I won't let you stay in our house.
You are not the owner.
Uncle Chen already said that I could stay as long as I want.
You can't do anything.
Yang Yang. But this situation can drag for a very long time.
My advice is that it's better for you to get used to it fast.
Okay. What can I do to keep you quiet?
It's very simple. I just need you to ...
If the head chef of the Chen Traditional Restaurant tells me to work there tomorrow morning, I'll be good immediately and go to sleep quietly.
Okay, I will agree to let you
work first thing tomorrow morning.
Head chef, are you saying it for real?
The head chef always keep his promise.
Let's cross our pinkies.
Cross our pinkies and the promise's for a 100 years.
Little monster. Don't go overboard. We just crossed our pinkies, why did you change again?
Yang Yang.
You are the head chef of the restaurant. You also need to manage things in the restaurant.
I'm singing in the house now. The terms didn't state that I couldn't sing in the house.
Even if there are rules in the house, you're not the owner. So, it doesn't concern you.
You!
It's late. I'm going to bathe and go to sleep.
Let's see how
I will handle you tomorrow.
It can still be improved.
Hao Feng.
You have already been working the day.
Why don't you go back and rest first?
Let's try again tomorrow.
I'm not tired. You go back first.
But you have already been working the whole day.
I will stay a bit longer and it should be done.
Anyway, I live close by. I will go back on my own later.
You go first.
This restaurant belongs to the both of us.
If you don't leave, how could I bear to leave? I will stay back with you.
I once kept myself busy to numb myself
and to erase all the memories of Xiao Hui in my heart
What exactly has changed over the past ten years?
Why does it seem like I've just returned to where I was originally?
How long does it take for it all to be forgotten?
When he's here, it was just like a dream.
The dream doesn't seem real.
Now that he's not here,
why does the pain feel so real?
Frankly, that dream has become more precious.
Hao Feng. Are you doing well now?
Suffering like this every day,
can we really forget it all?
Hao Feng. We are already here.
Sorry. I fell asleep.
You have been working hard.
Go up and take a rest.
I will come and pick you up later.
I will leave first.
How is dad doing when I'm not around?
Uncle Chen is fine.
What about you?
Is the Western restaurant going smoothly?
It's running smoothly.
I'm back here to see my father.
It's okay if he's fine.
Then ... Then ...
You speak first. You speak first.
You better speak first.
It must be very busy at the Western restaurant.
Xiao Hui, because of you, left home.
Doing hard work all on her own,
It must be not easy.
Pay more attention to her.
Don't disappoint her anymore.
I know.
I will take care of Uncle Chen.
Don't worry.
What about you?
Yang Guang and I
are very happy every day.
Please forgive me who is slow
to warm up.
no more and no less melting the silence
until you see this poverty
That's good then.
I
My heart hurts to go home.
If there's nothing else, I will leave first.
I hope that someone gives me the strength to live on.
don't hand out alms to a slow-to-warm up me
to slowly possess
sympathetic love
< how could it be long-lasting? i've promised to show consideration, there won't be
any excuses.
even if i'm left all alone by myself
Even up till the end,
i want to prove that in the pure white snow-covered climate
miss you the most.
I who am slow is slowly learning that love takes a long time to grow.
I'm very happy.
I am willing to do anything.
Yang Yang is so handsome as the head chef.
Second Brother, thank you. Although you left very suddenly, I can't be very reluctant.
If it wasn't for your sacrifice, I wouldn't have this happiness
I can finally be together with Yang Yang without any distance separating us.
We will both work hard together. Do your best, Yang Yang.
Do your best, Xiao Xiao.
We never again need to be far apart from each other.
I can see him 24 hours a day.
Hey, new staff.
Where is the new staff? Where?
Don't look anymore. I'm referring to you.
Me?
That's right. It's you.
Chen Li Yang.
We've known each other from the moment we were able to put on pants! How could I be a new person?
Anyone who just started work
at the Chen Traditional Restaurant are new staff.
Using your title as head of this restaurant to bully me. Just wait and see how I deal with you!
The Buddha's Palm*! [*said to be the most powerful skill in the world of Chinese martial arts]
What are you doing?
First day at work and you are showing your disrespect to the head chef?
As punishment, I'm making you take out the garbage for a week!
You! Why? Not happy?
If you are not happy, go home.
Don't stay here.
I'm warning you. I'm the head here.
Over here, my word is final.
Forget it if I can't hit you.
Why are you so fierce?
Right now, the head chef is ordering you.
Before we open the restaurant,
clean up the restaurant.
If I find any dirt
in any corner of the restaurant,
you will be accountable for it.
Chen Li Yang. You!
I'm curious.
Okay.
When someone's in front of someone powerful, they must lower their head.
But let me warn you. It's not that easy to bully me.
Sister Xiao Xia. What's wrong with you?
Why is your face so pale?
Do you want to take leave and rest?
I'm fine.
It's time to open the restaurant soon.
I will go and clean up first and get it ready.
Sister Xiao Xia.
You don't need to clean up.
We have a new staff.
Just come into the kitchen today and help me.
At the same time, you can practise what you have just learned.
Will Xiao Xiao be able to cope in the serving area?
Don't worry. She was so passionate about coming to help out here.
Let's not break her heart.
Let's go. Let me take this for you.
These few days without you here,
of course, it is dull and lonely
but I'm grateful to be alone.
If you want every customer that comes here
to feel happiness after eating their meals here,
first, you must take your happiness and joy
and transfer them into your food here.
This will be your intention.
How would it turn out?
Looking at your smiling face everyday.
I have a condition.
Please be my master.
Why are you standing so close to me?
Sorry.
I only just wanted to know how you did it.
I also wanted to learn.
We still have our
little Paradise.
What would you both like to eat?
Two bowls of dumplings soup?
Okay.
Two bowls of dumplings soup.
Okay. Please wait for a while.
Two bowls of dumplings soup.
Sister Xiao Xia. Here.
we will watch together as the seas run dry and the rocks crumble.
We will be together till the end of time,
loving slowly and leisurely.
Two bowls of dumplings soup!
With you safe by my side
I will then have the courage
to watch the long years go by.
Even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble,
even if the world comes to an end,
we will still love each other
without any regrets.
Without any regrets.
Hello.
May I ask if
the guest in room 2012
is still in?
Please wait a moment.
I will help you to make a call.
Why didn't you sleep longer?
I'm not tired.
Didn't we agree that I would pick you up?
It's okay. This place is so close.
It only takes a few minutes by foot.
You are now a valuable asset to our restaurant.
So basic necessities and such, as general manager,
I should help you take care of those.
Can you now please put aside your work
and spend a wonderful afternoon with me?
We're going to open soon. There're still many things not settled yet. Let's talk again when we're done.
You just need to be responsible for the menu.
Leave the other matters to me. Don't worry about it.
Okay.
Li Yang. Wait for your mom to come back and get you.
Li Yang.
Both our Western restaurant
is finally going to open soon.
My dream is going to take fruition soon.
Why do I feel so dull?
Hao Feng. From today onwards,
all the happiness,
I will definitely share it with you.
Is this what I really want?
Hao Feng.
Cheers to our restaurant.
It's just like a dream.
I miss you, I really miss you. Is it really you?
Yes.
Other than me, who else could it be?
Do you know
how much I really miss you?
Every day, I arranged a lot of work for me to do.
It's so that I won't have any time to think about you.
But I still couldn't do it.
The longer you left me and the further you are,
I finally realised that
you are the woman I love the most.
who's gradually moving further away from me?
magnificently acting out a grand performance together
there was only the view of your back
a cameo appearance, but it has left
an indellible memory
Morning.
I'm going to the bathroom first.
You are the woman I love the most.
What exactly happened?
It wasn't Xiao Xia last night?
Why did it turn out to be Xiao Hui?
What am I going to do next?
Sister Xiao Xia.
In the beginning,
don't cut so fast.
If not, you will cut yourself.
Why don't you start slow first?
When you are more stable, you can cut faster.
Two bowls of dumpling soup.
And also some steamed dumplings.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay. You, Chen Li Yang!
When I'm not around,
You go and seduce Xiao Xia?!
If you both continue to do this,
wouldn't it be the end for me?
This little monster.
She sabotaged again.
You better be careful now.
Xiao Xiao. Why did you run over there?
Someone in the restaurant regarded me as a third wheel.
If I don't come out, where should I stand
so that I don't get in the way?
Your imagination has run wild again.
I have always regarded Li Yang as my younger brother.
Between the both of us,
it's really not possible.
Don't worry. I will definitely help you to find the opportunity
to let you smoothly capture the heart of Mr. Chen Li Yang.
This is what you said.
Sister Xiao Xia.
You and Yang Yang
if you both continue this way,
can you guarantee that you will not be swayed by him?
Xiao Xiao. When your heart only has Li Yang,
would you still let others in?
Sister Xiao Xia. Are you still thinking of Second Brother in your heart?
Hao Feng. Do you still remember
that year when you proposed to me,
we didn't even have a ring?
Xiao Hui. Marry me.
I don't want to since there are no fresh flowers or ring.
It doesn't seem like you are proposing to me.
How could I just accept it?
Isn't this too cheap for you?
Close your eyes then.
Quick. Close your eyes now.
You are not allowed to peek.
Open your eyes.
It's so beautiful.
Now that we have the ring,
and also the flower,
marry me.
I will give you happiness
forever.
What a pity
we couldn't keep that ring.
It was wiped off that night.
That was just kid's play.
Hao Feng.
Let's go buy a pair of couple rings, okay?
Once the restaurant is open,
let's get married.
After all these years,
our dream
has finally been fulfilled.
Why don't we wait till the restaurant is launched?
We can tell our friends the good news about our wedding.
Wait till the restaurant is stable before we talk about it.
We are only at the first step of our dream.
There are still many things waiting for us to be done.
Who broke into my space?
Who caught me by surprise?
I had already planned the story
but you've given me
Cunningly, fatally
Hao Feng.
Why haven't you moved out from my heart yet?
Is it that I'm reluctant to let you go? Or is it that I just can't make you leave?
who's gradually moving further away from me?
i'm grateful to have you in my life
kindly accepting my invitation
the song has finished, the people have dispersed
yet, i've written a conclusion which has no
ending
Tomorrow is the opening of your Western restaurant.
Your dream has been finally realised.
You must be very happy.
I don't know whether it is
too much excitement or the years of overly daydreaming,
the feeling seems to be different.
It could be that these past two days, you were too busy and tired.
Perhaps.
How is the family doing?
Ever since you moved, Xiao Xiao has moved in.
She has been helping out and fighting with Li Yang. It's not boring at all.
Li Yang's culinary skill has improved.
The customers think that his standard is becoming like yours.
Uncle Chen's still the same. Every morning, he would drink a cup of tea, watch the restaurant and take care of the customers.
Looking at the smiles of the customers when they have eaten is happier than when he has eaten.
Yang Guang has also learnt from his experience.
When he does his homework,
he'd have his chin up and chest out, maintaining a certain distance between himself and the book.
He said you taught him that.
What about you? So how?
I don't know whether I've been in the old restaurant for too long or if I've been the North Pole's Iceman for too long.
I feel as if I'm seriously out of touch with this society.
Xiao Hui said that I don't even have the capability to stroll down the street and window-shop any more.
She feels that I'm lacking in romance and sweetness.
You have always been so.
You still dare to say that about me?
Be careful that if the iceman from the North Pole in me
appear again, I will freeze you to death.
Then you're just wrong.
I, having undergone a period of my focused and hard training,
having already smoothly and successfully trained to perform remarkable feats with noodles.
Even if you come back, you can only be like the little flour figurines in the corner.
But talking about it, the little figurines that you made in the past were really ugly.
Even though we were chatting happily,
but we both know that our hearts are hurting inside.
Maybe because it was so painful
that we used laughter to mask it.
By doing this, only then can we face the situation.
After we had chatted for so long.
we still couldn't bear
to let each other out of our sight.
We are growing more distant from each other.
But my worries grow even deeper.
I want these.
Okay.
I hope that our restaurant
will be able to bring our customers
not only satisfaction on the surface with taste
but also a real feeling of happiness on the inside.
The best way to to end a relationship soon is to start a new one.
So, I will also work very hard to find my own happiness.
Is Second Brother still in your heart?
