Episode 25
Chen Quan.
This is the place where you didn't allow your brother to enter.
Never did you imagine that
I will be entering here today.
Not only did I enter here, I'm going to transform this place.
This is the most important spot to the Chen family.
This clueless old fogey.
He keeps everything.
I won't let you keep this.
I will break this for a new one!
Mom!
What's wrong?
This is an old soup.
How could you ruin it?
Isn't it just a pot of soup?
This man, Chen Quan,
he is keeping all these useless things.
They are equally hateful as him.
Mom. Did you know that
the Chen Traditional restaurant was closed just because of this stock?
What's so great about this?
Can't we just do a new batch?
Mom. It's not easy to do this stock.
Once we went back to our old village and painstakingly looked for the ingredients before we could suceed in creating a new batch.
Aren't you the head chef of the restaurant?
Don't tell me you don't know the method?
I know.
Won't that do then?
Let's do a new batch tomorrow.
Frankly. this stock is not that important.
His trademark are his snacks.
Didn't you say that you have already learnt all the Chen family's recipes?
From tomorrow on, we mother and son, will work together as one.
Let's do a makeover of this restaurant.
Subtitles brought to you by the Delicious Love Team
I've decided.
I want to take dad back to live with me.
Hao Feng
You staying at the hotel with Xiao Hui right now.
It's expensive and also not convenient.
Xiao Hui is pregnant as well.
Hao Feng
I've already rented a place to live I want to take Uncle Chen with me.
Even though it isn't comparable to The Chen's Home, but it's still a home.
I think it's better for me to take care of him.
I discovered that ever since I grew up and became an adult,
I seem to talk less and less to my dad.
I want to...
I understand your feelings that you should be the one to take care of Uncle Chen.
Not only because you are his son, but also because you love him and have many things to say to him.
For so many years, both of you father and son, did your utmost for the sake of this family.
However, you neglected communicating.
You must surely have accumulated a lot of unspoken words in your heart.
Just like Uncle Chen who's also always felt that he's indebted to you.
That's why he wants to let you go.
You mutually care about each other. Yet, both of you don't know how to express yourselves.
Xiao Xia So
just let me take care of Uncle Chen.
Right now not only do you need to take care of Xiao Hui
but also your unborn child.
Furthermore, once you have found a new job,
you will be very busy.
These are facts. You can't deny these.
I wonder
can I still accept this?
Hao Feng, do you not believe me?
It's not that I don't believe you. It's because I don't want it to be too hard for you.
Have you forgotten who I am?
The Xiao Xia who can never be defeated.
Thats right
The money that Uncle Chen gave me
is sufficient for Yang Guang and I to live on.
After renting a room, there's still a substantial amount left. What's more, I even have a plan.
By using the knowledge that you taught me on how to make snacks,
I'm going to open a small eatery. I have already found the location.
Dim sum?
Have you found a restarant space?
I don't need a restaurant space. I only need a push cart.
I'll just find a manufacturer tomorrow to settle on the matter of making a push cart stall.
It will be tough for you this way.
You are taking care of dad, Yang Guang and now, even a food push cart.
I'm afraid that
it will be even tougher for you in the future.
It won't be tough at all. I feel very happy about it.
Hao Feng. Do you still remember that dream I told you?
A family
with Yang Guang
able to take shelter from the wind and the rain.
The space doesn't need to be that big
but
there must be warmth in this house.
I thought that I could ...
As long as I have Uncle Chen and you,
wherever I go, the Chen Traditional restaurant will always be my home.
I've experienced so many things
but I'm really grateful in my heart.
Uncle Chen, Hao Jie, Li Yang, Xiao Xiao and you.
I thank God for letting me know you all.
It was all of you who let me experienced the warmth of a family.
What I want to do now is what I can do.
That's to bring Uncle Chen home and take good care of him.
I think Uncle Chen is only just sleeping now.
I believe that he will wake up.
I will definitely take good care of Uncle Chen.
By the way, today, Yang Guang kept telling me that I must bring Uncle Chen home.
If I ignore him, he would keep asking me.
You also know what will happen if you ignore his naggings.
Hao Feng
Just let me take care of Uncle Chen.
I think I...
Remember that you are the Iceman from the Antartic. You must talk less.
What is going on?
Didn't Second Brother say that he would come and order the groceries?
Why hasn't he come yet for the whole afternoon?
Unless Second Brother is still angry at me?
No way...
Could it be something happened at the Old Restaurant?
Second Brother!
Auntie
Why are you here?
Where's Second Brother and Xiao Xia Sister?
They've moved out.
Moved out! Why?
The real owner of this restaurant has come back.
Do you think they still have the face to remain here?
Then where's Yang Yang Yang?
He went to buy ingredients.
I'm going to turn this restaurant
into the original Chen Traditional restaurant.
Hello?
Hello? Yang Yang Yang Where are you?
I am at...
Did you know Xiao Xia Sister and Second Brother have moved out?
Yang Yang Yang Why didn't you stop your mother?
and why did your mother do that?
Xiao Xiao. There are certain things you wouldn't understand.
It's very complicated here and there are too many grudges.
Even if I take half a day, I wouldn't be able clarify everything with you.
But
if my mom hasn't gone through such a hard life,
I believe she wouldn't have done that.
But the Chen Traditional restaurant was where all of you lived together, why did your mom drive them away?
My mom didn't drive them away.
They left on their own accord.
Okay.
Regardless,
where are you letting them stay?
Also,
they don't have a job now and no income.
Regarding Uncle Chen's hospitalisation fee,
where are they going to get the money for it?
This is your new home?
Dad. We are going home.
Hello.
Hello. How are you?
I am ... I know.
Why are you looking for me?
I would like to thank you for helping me. Hao Feng is now back with me.
Congratulations to you then. Isn't this what you wished for?
Thank you for helping me.
But ...
I would like to borrow some money from you to re-establish my Western restaurant.
Okay.
No problem but I have a request.
It's to make sure that Hao Feng will never enter the Chinese cuisine industry again.
He will never be able to do snacks for the Chen Traditional restaurant again.
Okay, I will promise you that
I will keep him in the Western cuisine industry
and never let him stay in the Chinese cuisine industry.
You are back.
Are you tired?
Mom.
Don't tell me that you are even
going to change the signboard of the Chen Traditional restaurant?
Where did you hear this from?
I saw outside ...
You have misunderstood.
How could mom do that?
Not only do we need to preserve the restaurant,
furthermore, we are going to expand it.
I just feel that
that signboard is a little old.
With the trends now,
it's not very updated.
So, I asked someone
to make a new one.
If you don't like it,
you can change it again.
Mom.
I know that you want to make some changes
but for certain things,
can you not make the changes so fast?
Of course,
I know that.
Good things,
we must preserve them.
But bad things,
we must change them.
This is just the way of survival.
Mom. I think
we should use a portion of the restaurant's income
to pay for Uncle Chen's medical expenses
and hospitalisation fees.
Has water gone to your head?
Isn't it enough that he has caused damage to us?
He's in this condition today
because the heavens could no longer put up with it
and has helped us.
That's retribution to him.
But mom,
he raised me for so many years.
He caused harm to his own brother.
He raised you
so that he could brainwash you as he was afraid that you would take revenge.
If he did not snatch you away from my side,
would I have gone as long as this whole twenty years without seeing you face-to-face?
Had I not possessed a heart
which was determined to meet up with you again,
I would have cried till I was blind.
Heavens.
Li Yang and Uncle Chen
have such a deep grudge.
You bought the ingredients?
Go and prepare the stock now.
Auntie. That ...
If there's nothing else,
I will make a move first.
You vomitted again?
Didn't you go to the hospital today?
Why didn't you bring Uncle Chen back?
Xiao Xia already brought dad home.
You met Xia Xia?
She brought Yang Guang along.
How is she going to take care of Uncle Chen?
She is planning
to set up a small push cart to sell snacks.
I was afraid that
she would be too busy and wouldn't be able to handle it.
So, I ...
You should go and help her.
Uncle Chen is your father
and he is being looked after by an outsider.
I know that you find it hard to accept.
Xiao Xia is not an outsider.
When my dad imparted his culinary skills
to Xiao Xia,
we have never regarded her as an outsider.
What I said was a mistake.
What I meant was that
you are the son of Uncle Chen.
You should have been the one to look after him.
Besides, Xiao Xia is a girl
and she's also raising Yang Guang.
She's also taking care of Uncle Chen.
It must be very difficult for her.
I said the same thing too
but Xiao Xia was very firm.
Furthermore ...
Let's do this then.
In future, go and visit Uncle Chen more often.
Thinking about it,
living in a home
is better than staying in a hotel.
Hao Feng. I know that
Uncle Chen didn't leave anything to you.
But our situation now isn't very good.
If we continue this way.
we can't afford to stay in this hotel anymore.
All the expenses
are solely being handled by you.
When the child is born,
it will be another big expenditure.
Before all this,
let's give Uncle Chen to Xiao Xia to take care of.
This is also the best solution.
It's just that
I'm worried about you the most.
You rushing about between two sides.
Wouldn't it be too hard for you?
But Xiao Xia
still needs your help.
As for me,
you don't need to worry about me.
At this time,
I couldn't help you
I'm even adding to the chaos.
I feel really sad.
Xiao Hui.
You and the child,
as long as you are both healthy,
is my biggest concern now.
As for what's going to happen next,
I will handle it.
Please don't worry.
I'm not worried about anything.
You are Chen Hao Feng.
You are a talented chef.
You are also the coolest guy on earth.
You are the best,
the most responsible man.
(Payment Request Letter)
The bank has made a request for payment.
It has nothing to do with the restaurant.
Hao Feng. Don't worry.
It's like this.
Today, I ...
borrowed some money from a friend.
I was thinking of
using this money to return
all my debts now.
And open a new restaurant.
You borrowed money?
Why did you borrow the money?
I can take on several jobs.
It's fine whether it's at a Chinese or Western restaurant.
We only need to tough it out for a few months.
After that, we can ... Hao Feng.
Don't you think that it's a pity?
The dream that you had,
you are just going to give it up like that?
Since I was young,
I heard others say that
dreams are just a fantasy.
If this dream is just mine alone,
even if I had worked hard at it and failed,
I have nothing further to say.
But this is your dream, Hao Feng.
I know that
with your capability now,
it's definitely not hard for you to find an even higher paying job.
But this debt
and also the expenses for the hotel bill
are piling up.
I was able to borrow money from a friend,
not only to settle this problem but
it could also help us to restart our dream.
Why don't we give it a try, Hao Feng?
Please trust me.
With your culinary skill,
and my management,
our Western cuisine restaurant
will do well.
Then at that time
not only can we solve all the hardships
but we can also help Xiao Xia
We can rent a bigger house.
Bring Uncle Chen, Xiao Xia
and Yang Guang
over to all live together.
Isn't that good?

Okay
Let's start to fulfill our dream again.
Let our beautiful dream,
no longer be a daydream anymore.
Our dream
will never be a daydream.
Mum
This soup smells so good.
I didn't know how good the soup was.
Son
No wonder you're the chef at the Chen family's restaurant.
This dumpling soup,
mom can tell that it's good.
With you as the head chef of this restaurant,
I can say, without worries,
that the Chen Traditional restaurant will be a success.
Mum, is it really that good?
Would I lie to you?
If your dad is still alive.
and is able to taste the dumplings that you personally made,
I wonder how happy he would be.
Mum
Mum is fine.
Mum is just happy.
Son
Mum also wants to try
the three lost forgotten food of the Chen family.
Mum, those dim sums
not only they are a waste of time and work,
the ingredients cost a lot too.
So what if they take a lot of time, work
and ingredients?
Our new restaurant
needs these new products.
Son
Mum believes in you.
My dad being able to stay with you,
I can feel secure.
Only when you are here,
only then does it seem like a family.
Hao Feng
Perhaps, your future path may be happier.
However with Uncle Chen with us.
I will definitely be very happy.
Dad, we've come home.
Yes
Wherever we are,
it's home.
Xiao Xia, I will work hard.
to make a quick success of the Western cuisine restaurant.
Then I will bring Dad, you
and Yang Guang over to live with us all together.
Auntie, get up!
Don't forget your appointments with people.
Don't be late.
I'm going to school.
Oh right
Also don't forget to turn Grandpa over.
This little monster has really grown up.
Okay!
Xiao Xia fighting!
Let's start a beautiful new life.
Customer, what would you like to order?
Are you a new waiteress?
I am the Manager here.
Then why aren't Hao Feng and Xiao Xia here?
I'm sorry.
We had a new change of management and staff.
What would you like to order?
The usual.
What's the usual?
You don't know?
Just tell Li Yang it's for Uncle Wang and he will know.
Okay
This place has changed.
It doesn't have the warmth of the previous restaurant.
Li Yang
Do you know what the customer over there wants to eat?
Uncle Wang, I know.
Uncle Wang
Haven't seen you in a few days.
Did you go to Canada
to visit your daughter and live with her?
I can't.
I'm not used to it.
I'm also not used to the food there.
We had a few arguments.
My daughter wanted me to stay longer.
No matter how, I wanted to come back.
When I came back, I immediately came to this place.
My heart
was in this restaurant.
However...
do you think that the previous dumpling soup,
It seems to be missing something
It doesn't feel like how it used to be.
Isn't that so?
It looks the same
as it used to be.
But the flavour
doesn't taste as good as it used to be.
Yes, Yes.
Uncle Wang
Are you satisfied with it?
Seeing as you've asked.
I will speak honestly.
This isn't just my opinion.
This soup doesn't taste the same as it used to be.
It seems to be missing something.
What is it missing?
The taste of a person's love.
In the past when I came here.
It felt like I was home.
Even strangers here felt like people I knew.
Look at it now
Everyone only knows how to say,
\"What do you want?\" just like a robot.
That's right.
It's not only lacking a person's love.
It doesn't have the taste of home.
Passion, I don't feel the passion.
You are saying this too.
I felt it too.
It's not only the problem with the passion.
That's right.
This soup is not the previous soup.
I feel that it's lacking something.
Yes
I guess, all of you,
must be the regular customers of the Chen Traditional restaurant.
Yes
The restaurant being able to last till today
is all due to such loyal customers like you.
It's because the food here is good.
Good quality and cheap. After eating it, you'd want to eat it again.
Thank you.
But
the restaurant, after a long time,
can't keep operating like in the past.
So,
we have decided
to, on the basis of the original,
make some adjustments.
Just like the snacks
and dumplings here,
we have added another ingredient.
But the additional of new ingredients
may need time to get used to it.
Our Chen family
is just using the new restaurant's stance
to carry on the spirit of the old restaurant.
In the process, it's inevitable that there could be some slips.
So, we still hope that
everyone will generously show us understanding
and come back and support us again.
That's right too.
The restaurant needs to continue to be successful.
Innovation is in fact, really essential.
Perhaps, it could be that we are old
and can't catch up with this generation.
Possibly, I've been too harsh.
Old Chen was also in the past.
Who hasn't been young once?
Whether there is enough fire or not,
you can slowly train (to get it right).
New taste?
Let's give it a try first.
There's bound to be some adaptations in the process.
That's right.
Thank you.
Thank you, everyone.
Regardless of how I keep acting,
I must get Hao Feng to stay with me.
You are pregnant and you are still drinking coffee?
Sorry.
I didn't notice that you are already here.
This is $1 million.
If
you can keep Hao Feng in the Dream restaurant,
this $1 million is yours.
On the contrary,
if you can't do it,
then ...
you won't be able to protect your dream anymore.

After the ingredients,
with the inclusion of house expenses ...
my brain explodes when I do math.
Aunt.
When you were young, you must have been inattentive during class.
What did you say?
I can see that you have been calculating for almost half a day.
And you still can't figure it out.
You must have been inattentive.
This is financial affairs, okay?
It's not the same as what was being taught in class.
You don't understand.
Isn't it still math?
Have you done your homework?
Of course. I already finished it a long time ago.
Furthermore, this calculations, to me, is a small matter.
Go and sleep now.
By the way,
Aunt.
I'm strong in math.
If you still can't add up,
don't feel shy.
You can call me.
Call your head!
Go to sleep.
You will never be defeated, Xiao Xia.
You can't be brought down by these calculations.
Tonight, I'll just be with you, this sum
of items which look completely indistinguishable
and struggle till I get it.
Can you sell it to cheaper?
I can't.
I will order from here in the future.
Can you sell them at a lower price?
No problem.
Thank you very much.
Sorted!
The budget's not been exceeded.
There is only the push cart left.
Miss.
Just tell me
what kind of push cart you are looking for.
I will customise it for you.
The push cart that I want
is for selling steamed dumplings,
crispy golden crabmeat pastry,
pan-fried turnip cakes - this sort of snacks.
What you're referring to are all snacks from the Chen Traditional Restaurant.
Why do you look so familiar?
Weren't you the lady server from that restaurant?
Frankly, what I am going to sell
are not snacks from the Chen Traditional restaurant.
Only just copying from them, that's all.
Regardless of whether they are from the Chen Traditional restaurant or not,
anyway, the kind of push cart that you are thinking of.
I already know.
We will definitely customise it well.
It will definitely be okay.
Thank you.
When will it be ready then?
If you want it fast, in two or three days then.
Why don't we do this?
I will call you when it's ready.
Thank you.
By the way,
there's $1,000 cash here.
This is for you.
Okay.
Brother?
Xiao Xia. I'm begging you.
I don't have much.
Please lend me some money urgently.
Lend me the money.
Other than lending money,
do you stil have other things?
Do you know that as someone's dad,
when you run out of money, contrary to expectation, you know how to appear in the flesh.
What about during the sports meet?
Where were you?
Did you know how disappointed Yang Guang was?
I really wanted to go that day
but ...
it's because you have never been responsible
that the school kids are making fun of Yang Guang.
How many times are you going to keep hurting him?
That day, I really made arrangement to meet Yang Guang.
But that person who helped me suddenly went to look for me
and beat me to death.
I know that I did wrong to you and Yang Guang.
But if you don't help me this time,
I really will die.
I swear
that this is absolutely my last time that I will borrow money from you.
That's what you also said the last time.
I don't have the ability to help you.
Stop dreaming.
Xiao Xia.
I will do anything.
$40,000. It's just $40,000.
Just $40,000?
Do you know how many jobs I have to take on a day,
how long I have to scrimp and save
before I could earn $40,000?
Brother. I will not,
I will never give it to you again.
Just give up on this.
You are not going to give it to me?
That means to say,
you have the money?
Where is the money?
Where is it?
Give it to me.
You are going to snatch my bag again like the last time?
Brother. This is my survival money
to take care of Yang Guang and Uncle Chen.
Xiao Xia. You are willing to take this money
to look after someone who is not related to you?
And you are not even willing to save me?
This money belongs to Uncle Chen.
He's totally unrelated to me but has
regarded me as his own daughter.
And regarded Yang Guang as his own grandson.
He gave me the money so that Yang Guang and I would have a place to stay.
He's lying in bed and can't move now.
I need this money to take care of him.
You want this money now to pay your debt?
What's going to happen to Yang Guang and Uncle Chen?
Sorry.
I really can't help you this time.
Xiao Xia!
Stop there!
Don't run away.
Beat him to death!
There's $50,000 here.
I will take it as your sister has returned your debt. Let's go.
Let's go.
Xiao Xia.
You've come to. Is it serious?
I'm okay. What about you?
I'm ... okay, too.
Where's my money?
It's all gone.
I'm doomed.
Sorry. I'm such a jerk.
I only know how to exhaust you.
I deserve to die.
I deserve to die!
Forget it. Owing people money,
we need to return it to them anyway,
It's okay as long as you are fine.
You can still choose to live another life
and don't come back to look for me again.
Now that this has already happened,
I will think of a solution regarding the money.
But brother, you are not a kid anymore.
Please don't continue to live such a lousy life anymore.
Don't do anything rash.
I will listen to you. I will definitely change.
Really.
Everytime, you ...
everytime, you say that you would change.
Brother, I'm not blaming you
and I don't hate you.
More than that, I'm not making an unreasonable request of you to be extremely wealthy.
I just hope that we can live peacefully.
Yang Guang should have the responsibility to be
able to be concerned about his father.
Xiao Xia. All these years,
you have suffered on my behalf.
I really hope that one day,
I could be reunited with you both soon.
I'm very clear now.
I must look for a job
and get out from being such a rotten man.
And get to know my son better.
Trust me.
I will definitely change.
Brother, I believe you.
I believe you.
Preview...
The customers don't seem to be satisfied with the food here.
The stock was done according to his recipe. Later,
we found some ingredients
and the method to cook them.
Everyone said that there is something missing.
Hao Feng. Let's get married.
Get married?
Yes.
We are expecting a child now.
Why don't we get married soon?
