Episode 26
Recap...
I'm sorry.
The money to buy the mobile food cart
has all been stolen.
This is all the money I have left.
I'm sorry, Miss Qiao.
The shortfall is too big.
This is difficult for me too.
I'm absolutely not letting you help me for nothing.
I was thinking
can you just let me pay in installments?
Pay in installments?
Yes, first just use the money I have right now as a down payment.
I'll then use the turnover from the mobile food cart
to pay back the balance due.
I have no other way,
so that's why I am pleading you.
I promise
I'll absolutely not repudiate this debt.
I am very sorry.
I can't help you.
Our shop policy
is payment in full upon delivery.
Please come again when you have the money.
No way
Your asking price is too low.
Anyway, you're not a wholesaler. Your volume's too small.
How can I help you?
Im sorry, I am very sorry.
Can you give me vegetables on credit first?
Once I've sold it, I will immediately return the money to you.
Miss. We are a small business, not a major bank.
I can't help you.
The salary that you gave me,
I was careless and lost it.
Are you very disappointed in me?
But Uncle Chen
don't worry about me.
I'm the Xiao Xia who can't be defeated.
I believe that God has arranged this
to put me through the mill even further.
I won't, just because I've hit a wall,
give up and escape.
I will surely rely on my own strength
resolve this crisis.
I will definitely
take good care of you and Yang Guang.
Do you want to try the new dishes on the menu?It's quite good.
This taste isn't right.
Let's order this.
Where are we going later?
I don't know either.
Do you have any suggestions?
Why don't we go and roam around first?
Ok
Let's go wherever.
Ok

Only, it's a pity that I lack the funds right now
and can't afford to buy a mobile food cart.
If you agree to let me pay in installments,
Then you can eat this dim sum everyday.
You can pay in installments,
however I have one condition.
What condition?
You must pay on time and not be behind on payments.
I will definitely not be behind on payments.
Thank you, thank you.
Delicious
Tastes delicious.
Miss
We will go according to what you suggested.
We will record it once a month.
You can't be behind on payments, ok?
Really?
Thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you.
But why have you
answered me so fast this time?
You are capable of doing such a tasty product,
you'll surely not repudiate a debt.
I believe in you.
Thank you
A happy life
just requires hard work
to secure it.
Xiao Xia, fighting!
Strange
Now Yang Yang Yang is the head chef.
They haven't come
to us to order supplies.
This won't do.
If this continues.
it'll become the first case in human history
of being bored and depressed
to death.
This won't do. I will go and find Yang Yang Yang.
Yang Yang Yang
I've waited for the whole day for you.
Why haven't you told someone to order from us?
How is that possible?
Yesterday night, I already organised for someone
to put in an order at your store this morning.
I gave him the order already.
I... It was I who didn't allow him to go.
Xiao Xiao
In future Chen's Traditional Restaurant,
will not order from your shop anymore.
I have found a bigger supplier
whose prices are even lower than yours.
You, too, know that costs are very important in doing business.
Mom. The Chen Traditional restaurant
has always
been ordering our supplies from Xia Xiao's family shop.
The quality can absolutely be guaranteed.
Regarding the prices,
they are already giving us the best deal.
Li Yang
Now you are not only
Chen's Traditional Restaurants Head Chef,
but you are also the manager.
Your goal must be bigger.
I firmly reiterate,
the past is the past.
The present is the present.
Chen's Traditional Restaurant taste has changed.
Why can't the channel of supplies be changed?
I am sorry Xiao Xiao.
In future
we won't be ordering from you anymore.
Auntie, I...
However
I don't oppose of you coming to find Li Yang.
This girl
will sooner or later be a burden to Li Yang.
Xiao Xiao
I am sorry about before.
How my mom has handled this
is indeed a bit improper.
Yang Yang Yang
I have something to say,
but I'm not sure if I should say it.
Say it.
What's wrong?
What doesn't the Little Monster dare not to say?
Yang Yang Yang
I honestly think your mum is strange.
Think about it.
In the past when Second Brother was in the restaurant,
your mum didn't want me to supply the restaurant.
Now that you have entered the restaurant,
she also doesn't want me to supply the restaurant.
You knew
that in the past everything I supplied to the restaurant,
was hand picked by me.
Everything was the best and most fresh.
Now your mum says she doesn't want to
and doesn't even give me a reason.
I don't know how to express what the feeling is.
Anyway, it's just strange.
When I first met your mom,
she was softly-spoken.
But when she entered the restaurant,
she has changed completely.
She is very aggressive now.
She's also a bit...
How do you say it?
Bossy and domineering.
That's right. Precisely bossy and domineering.
It's very strange. Why?
Yang Yang.
Yang Yang!
I know I was wrong.
I shouldn't have been so gossipy.
I also shouldn't have, in front of your face,
ranted and gossiped about your mom.
You also should know the kind of person I am.
I talk without engaging my brain first.
Don't take it personally, okay?
Yang Yang.
Don't think too much.
Miss. Please take a look.
I must work hard for every customer who comes into the restaurant.
Letting them experience the taste of happiness.
I want to do it for dad
and Xiao Xia.
And also for Yang Guang and Xiao Hui.
And let this western cuisine restaurant be the new Chen Traditional restaurant.
I'll get everyone over here
and forever be together.
Hao Feng. There is something
I would like to talk to you about.
Look.
This bridal shop
is currently celebrating its tenth anniversary.
Let's go take a look when we are free.
The restaurant just started operating,
let's talk about this later.
Actually, we don't have to especially go and take a look.
It so happens that they have a bridal fashion show on tonight.
Let's go together.
Tonight?
I already made an appointment with Xiao Xia to see my dad.
Can we change it to another day?
Okay then.
Why don't I go with you?
Your health is not good...
Don't worry. I will be fine, really.
To add further,
I haven't visited Uncle Chen for a long time.
Okay.
It must be Uncle Hao Feng.
Uncle Hao Feng.
Yang Guang.
Yang Guang. How are you?
Hello, Aunt Xiao Hui.
Aunt Xiao Hui is here to visit Grandpa.
Where's your aunt?
Aunt went to get her push cart. She said that she will be back shortly.
I will go and pick her up then.
I will go with you. No need. You are expecting, don't tire yourself out.
Wait for us in the living room.
Happy times.
Did you choose this name?
Every time I think of those days at the restaurant, I can only just use 'happy times' to describe it.
Those days at the restaurant make me understand a principle.
What principle?
Any one can make food.
But to make the people who eat it
within a short period of time
able to experience a strand of life's happiness,
that's called truly amazing.
I believe that with such a philosopy, only then will food become meaningful.
So I want these four words to be my goal.
Making every customer who patronises my food stall able to experience happy times.
Xiao Xia.
You not only just have a natural sense of taste,
you also have a heart which understands the true essence of fine food.
Looks like dad didn't choose the wrong person.
The one who has truly developed the spirit of the Chen family's restaurant to a greater height is you.
Because...because of this push cart.
This push cart?
This push cart
is just the Chen family's restaurant's point of starting afresh.
You must bring happy times to all the customers.
Thank you, Hao Feng.
Xiao Xia.
Are you really okay
being on your own?
Wouldn't it be strange if I'm not?
Mr Chen. Don't forget that
Xiao Xia can't be defeated.
Hammer me but I won't wear out, hit me but I won't collapse.
In the face of any failure, any setback, any trial, I'm the tenacious Xiao Xia who is unconcerned.
Where would there be such a person in this world?
Of course, there is.
I'm just the one and only one in existence.
That's right.
Dad could see that in you.
That's why he handed the will over to you.
It's because he knows that
regardless of whatever problems you face,
and any difficulties that you have,
you will work tirelessly to protect those around you.
This quality
is something which I can't even match up to.
To suffer losses is advantageous, so to speak.
On the surface, it appears as if I've suffered losses.
In fact, not only have I learnt the Chen family's unique culinary skills,
but also it's as if I've drawn a grand prize,
having such a beautiful food cart now.
It's kind of like a dream of something luxurious
has already been fulfilled.
Do you think that this is a dream?
Bite me.
Let me see if this is a dream or not.
Do it.
Slowly and without haste,
I have you by my side.
Why did you really do it?
It's very painful.
Even if the sea dries up and the stones crumble,
even if the word ends,
we will still love each other
without any regrets.
Without any regrets.
Has Grandpa improved lately?
A lot better.
Aunt has been conscientiously looking after him everyday.
Uncle Hao Feng also visits him everyday.
He also tells him stories everyday.
Grandpa will wake up soon.
When Grandpa wakes up,
what is Yang Guang going to do?
When Grandpa wakes up,
I want to tell Uncle Hao Feng to come home.
The family will be reunited this way.
What are you both talking about?
Aunt. I'm going back to my room first.
Xiao Xia. You received your push cart today?
When do you plan to start operating?
I was thinking of as soon as possible.
I will start business tomorrow.
You are in such a hurry?
Have you thought of the name for the push cart?
Happy Times. Happy Times.
I'm going to see Dad.
Happy Times?
Are they remembering their happy times together?
Xiao Hui. Sorry.
I have been very busy lately and had no time to visit you.
How is your health?
Thank you, Xiao Xia.
You should know Hao Feng.
He wouldn't let me do anything.
He's just afraid that I'll suffer from some mishap
which will trigger off the complications* of pregnancy. [Note: such as nausea,vomiting and oedema of the legs]
Yes. You must be careful.
By the way, I heard that you re-opened your western cuisine restaurant.
Congratulations. Thanks.
Xiao Xia. This bridal shop
was recommended by a friend.
Actually,
Hao Feng and I wanted to go there to take a look
when we are free.
But he said that
we should wait till our new restaurant is stable before we talk about it.
I can only take his advice.
The bridal gowns in this shop are quite nice.
Xiao Xia. If you are free,
go with me to take a look.
I really don't know much about this.
It's better that you go on your own.
Xiao Xia.
Your are my buddy.
You are also Hao Feng's good friend.
So, I think
Hao Feng and my wedding...
I would like to invite you to be the bridesmaid.
I believe that with your blessing,
Hao Feng and I
will grow old together
and forever be one.
Xiao Xia.
Are you still unwilling to forgive me?
That's why you don't want to be my bridesmaid?
Why would I?
Since we are buddies, I will definitely be there.
Thank you then.
I don't need you to love me.
Just be with me. This is my lifelong dream.
I will not let anyone take away this dream. I will not make any mistakes to complete this.
From now on,
I will not shed anymore tears. I will clear my feelings
and make Happy Times a success and take good care of Uncle Chen and Yang Guang.
This is also
the final promise I can make to you.
♫ People are meant to be lonely ♫
♫ I will finally let you go ♫

Grandpa. Do you know that
today,
my aunt's Happy Times push cart
has started operating.
I think it will be great this time around.
You are happy to hear this, right?.
Li Yang.
Not everything has to rely on connections.
Don't we still have them?
You are now
not only the main chef,
you are also the boss of the restaurant.
Mom.
The business at the restaurant now is so poor.
The customers don't seem to be too satisfied
with the dumplings soup and snacks here.
This will pass.
When the new replaces the old and there's innovation, it
will all face this situation.
Son, hold on.
Waiter.
How come this pan-fried shredded turnip cake
doesn't taste like it used to?
What's wrong?
Where is it different?
Eating pan-fried shredded turnip cake,
do you think you should be able to taste abalone in it?
Our restaurant's taste
is like this.
If you are not used to it,
don't eat it then.
What kind of attitude is this?
In the past, the Chen Traditional restaurant
would never look after its customers this way.
The Chen Traditional resutaurant that
you just mentioned,
is now our restaurant.
We have already changed the owners.
If you still miss the
old Chen Traditional restaurant,
please go home and miss it.
You!
You are being too extreme.
The restaurant
is not the same anymore.
Here. This is yours.
Please enjoy.
It's really delicious, lady boss.
Another two servings of steam dumplings.
Okay. Coming soon.
It's really delicious.
From the look of it, this snack
doesn't look very special.
But when you eat it,
it tastes a bit like those snacks
from the Chen Traditional restaurant.
When you talk about it this way,
I remember it now.
The lady boss
used to work at the Chen Traditional restaurant.
I seem to have seen her before.
Hearing you say this,
I seem to find her familiar too.
What's so great about it?
Even though you are not getting your supplies from us.
I, Xiao Xiao, the little monster,
don't give a hoot.
The one I care about
will be your Yang Yang!
Precious daughter.
What are you talking about to yourself?
You wouldn't understand even if I were to tell you.
Dad.
I'm going to look for Yang Yang for some matters.
I will leave first.
It seems like a grown up girl can't be kept at home.
She only has Yang Yang in her heart.
Yang Yang.
After I have been waiting
outside for you for the whole day,
I discovered that the restaurant
don't seem to have that many customers as in the past.
Furthermore, certain customers
came out and said that there was some taste lacking.
Did you change your way of cooking?
No.
The method is still the same.
Furthermore, when Second Brother and I
took turns to be the chef,
we have never encountered such a situation.
That's strange then.
I re-created the stock.
What?!
When my mom first came to the restaurant,
she threw away that pot of stock.
She threw it away?!
How could your mom throw away that pot of stock?!
It wasn't easy for everyone
to find the ingredients for that stock.
It it weren't for you that day,
I would have lost my life.
I say,
that day, your mom told you
to buy new ingredients for the stock.
So, the stock was actually wasted.
Heaven.
If Xiao Xia and Second Brother
know about this,
if they all know,
that would then...
I think that you can't
blame her for this.
She definitely didn't know the
importance of that stock.
Furthermore, I can see that
because of what happened in the past,
she was really hurt by it.
It's because, everytime when I
talk about Uncle Chen,
she would bite her teeth.
I feel that
my mom must have loved my father and I very much.
That's why she hates Uncle Chen so much.
He caused the death of my father.
Okay.
Let's not talk
about the past anymore.
I just find it pitiful.
What a pity as it was not easy
for everyone to find the ingredients.
How could it be gone in such a moment?
Fortunately, we still have Yang Yang
who is so smart and capable
and who could create a new stock.
Right?
The old stock was made
according to the ingredients. Subsequently,
we found some
ingredients and cooked it according to the prescribed recipe.
It shouldn't be
that much different from the original stock.
But why does
everyone say that it lacked some flavour?
Lacked some flavour?
I know.
What do you know?
It's Uncle Chen's smile
that gave warmth to the customers.
It has a personal human touch.
Personal touch?
In future, all the training
will be carried out at the Chen family's restaurant.
Right. This way, then.
I must make good use of
the name of the Chen Traditional restaurant,
Aunty has toiled and earned great merits.
Have some tea.
It's not hard on aunt.
Yang Guang is the one having a hard time.
Taking care of Grandpa, toiling and earning great merits.
Looking after Grandpa
is Yang Guang's responsibility.
A man should be accountable.
Yes.
You are the little man in our family.
The great master of the household.
Aunt. What's wrong with you?
Are you unwell?
It's nothing.
It could be that I'm too tired.
My eyesight seems to be a bit blurred.
My great master of the household.
Have you finished your homework?
I finished it a long time ago.
Go to sleep then.
Today's business turnover,
after deducting the expenses of purchasing the stock ingredients,
the house expenses,
Uncle Chen's medicines,
is still short of a big sum of money.
If it were to be like this everyday,
don't talk about earning money,
the amount owed will just keep on increasing.
I should redo my calculations and
see what I should do
to cut down on costs.
Li Yang.
I would like to look for someone
to learn from you on how to do the
the Chen family's three secret dishes.
Mom.
The Chen family's three secret dishes
are different from the other snacks.
I have also been learning them for a long time
before I could master just a fraction of it.
If we want to pick it up in a short period of time,
it's definitely impossible to do it.
Don't worry.
The people I'm looking for
are more experienced chefs
in the food industry.
I hope that
in this short period of time,
to make our chain of stores
the largest in the food and beverage business.
Have you already thought of a name for the push cart?
Happy Times. Happy Times.
Are you tired?
I will take you home.
Hao Feng. Let's get married.
Get marrried?
Yes.
Let's get married.
We are having a child now.
Why don't we get married earlier?
Lately, many things
have happened.
There are still many things to be done in the restaurant.
Dad is still not conscious yet.
I don't want to be in such a rush to get married.
I know.
There are a lot of things now.
The restaurant, the baby, Uncle Chen,
and also Xiao Xia.
You are already
overwhelmed by all these.
At a time like this,
I still bring up the subject of getting married to you.
I really shouldn't have done that.
But Hao Feng,
I really wish that
we could get married soon.
When we have settled down,
you then don't need to attend
to me over here.
When that time comes,
you can be the chef here
peacefully.
Subsequently, you will even have more time
to look after Uncle Chen and Xiao Xia.
Let's wait for a while.
I want to wait for everything at the restaurant to be on track.
I want to bring dad, Xiao Xia and Yang Guang
to live with us.
We will get married then.
Okay.
It's getting late.
Go home early and rest.
I will go and vist dad first.
Okay. Send my regards to Uncle Chen.
Also,
help me to wish Xiao Xia in having a smooth business,
Hao Feng.
Would I really be able to get you?
I'm worried and afraid
that any slightest sign of trouble,
will be like a signal of
you being taken away from my side.
I have nothing.
I only
have you.
Only you.
You are my everything.

Lady boss.
Two servings of your steamed dumplings.
Uncle Wang, it's you.
Long time no see.
Isn't that so?
I went to visit my daughter in Canada.
I only just came back.
I heard people say that the Chen Traditional retaurant's Xiao Xia
has set up a stall here.
I didn't believe it
and came here to take a look. It's really you.
No wonder these snacks
are cheap and delicious too.
What's wrong?
You brought out all
the culinary skills of the Chen Traditional restaurant.
How could that be?
I'm very stupid.
The culinary skills for snacks at the Chen Traditional restaurant,
I've only learned a very superficial knowledge of them.
From what I can see,
you are comparable to the Chen Traditional restaurant.
Your Happy Times
is the real Chen Traditional restaurant.
Uncle Wang.
You can't say this in the future.
Miss Xiao Xia has been repeatedly warned before.
She's still acting the same fashion.
What she does is just an imitation version.
You must remember this.
If you want to eat the real stuff,
you still need to go to the Chen Traditional restaurant.
Dear child.
I know that you're sparing
the Chen family restaurant's sensibilities.
No wonder.
Uncle Wang. You want...
The same old thing.
Okay.
But we don't serve the dumplings soup here.
You must forgive me.
You don't serve the dumplings soup here?
No dumplings soup?
Okay, As long as it made by you,
anything is fine.
Okay.
Hello, Xiao Xiao.
Hello, Sister Xiao Xia.
Where are you?
I'm at the corner of the street that the Chen family's restaurant is on.
You're at the corner of the street that the Chen family's restaurant is on?
What are you doing there?
Sister Xiao Xia. Can I go and see you?
Sister Xiao Xia.
So, you are doing this now.
Let me help you.
Boss. The bill, please.
Coming.
I will go.
How much is it?
$15 for all.
Thanks.
Sister Xiao Xia. Here's your money.
Thank you.
Sister Xiao Xia.
Why are you so formal with me?
Sister Xiao Xia.
This push cart of yours
is small
but it looks good.
Please take your time in ordering.
I will go and take a look over there.
Okay.
I never thought that
business would be so good at the improved western cuisine restaurant.
Looks like
we wouldn't have any problems.
I'm the Xiao Xia who can't be defeated.
When troubles see me,
they will run away
and wouldn't come back to look for me.
If only
her Happy Times
would go smoothly.
Thank you for coming to help me.
It's okay, Sister Xiao Xia.
Sister Xiao Xia.
Why did you close your stall so early?
I would generally work till midday.
Just an afternoon?
How much did you make then?
I need to go home and look after Uncle Chen.
What about Second Brother?
Hao Feng has other business to take care of.
What business?
Xiao Xiao.
Frankly, I have always wanted to ask you
how the Chen Traditional restaurant is doing?
Without us there,
you must help Li Yang more.
Sister Xiao Xia.
I feel that Yang Yang has changed.
I really don't know what to say.
Anyway, since you and Second Brother left,
and his mother joined the restaurant,
Yang Yang has changed into a different person.
He's become uncommunicative.
Even though I can see that
he's working hard
but I can see
he's under great pressure.
His heart is just like
a big weight has been loaded into it.
He is not happy at all.
Could it be that his mother is giving him a lot of pressure?
Sister Xiao Xia.
Tell me what I should do.
If Yang Yang and I
could be just like you and Second Brother,
helping each other,
mutually understanding each other, that will be just good.
Perhaps, Li Yang's mother
has too great hopes for her son.
Li Yang's change
could possibly be the price of maturing.
If maturing is at the expense of happiness,
I don't want it.
I don't like Yang Yang being like this now.
I wish that he would go back to the way he was
and the way we were, when we were all happy..
Sister Xiao Xia.
Where do you get your food supplies from now?
I go to the market in the evening.
They kept some supplies which are cheaper for me.
Are those good enough?
Based on the current rates of selling price,
it will never be enough.
But if I want to buy more,
I don't have enough money for that.
Sister Xiao Xia.
Why didn't
you tell me?
I can help you.
I can give you a discount.
Furthermore, whatever ingredients you want,
I can give them to you.
How can you do that?
I have a lot of debts.
How could I trouble you
with an outstanding account on my behalf.
That's not a problem.
I'll give you a bit more of the stock and
you would be able to do more snacks.
Do more snacks
and you can sell more.
At the end of the month,
you can pay me then.
But
what if I can't sell my snacks?
What if I suffer big losses
and what should I do if I can't pay?
Okay then.
To enable you to sell more snacks,
I have decided
to help you from today onwards.
What about your shop? Aren't you going to look after it?
The shop actually doesn't need me.
In the past,
it was because I wanted to send the goods over to the Chen family's restaurant,
only then would I bother to do it.
Now that it's not needed,
I don't need to take care of the shop.
I'm going to die of boredom every day.
You...
are not supplying the Chen Traditional restaurant anymore?
If it weren't for Yang Yang's mother's
interference
to stop using our shop...
Let's not talk about this anymore.
Anyway, Sister Xiao Xia. Don't worry.
From tomorrow onwards,
I will just
like Yang Yang,
give you a discount
till you are satisfied.
I just created
several new dishes.
and combo sets.
Our prices have indeed been reduced a lot.
Didn't you also calculated that
our restaurant will still make a profit?
Also, with us continuously coming up with new menus later,
I believe that
the future business of Dream restaurant
will get better and better.
I have confidence in this.
Xiao Xia. I shouldn't have, just because of my dream for the Western cuisine restaurant,
let go of you.
Hao Feng.
I want to close the restaurant.
Go with me to the States.
To the States?
But...
But didn't you
borrowed some money
from your friend
to let us set up this restaurant again?
Why are you giving away everything now to go back to the States?
I was thinking about our baby...
If the child can be born overseas,
the environment will be better over there.
Our country is also good now.
If not, why would
so many
foreign entreprises
coming to our country to invest?
Investing is investing
But the environment is different.
These are two different things.
If we just go back there like this,
what will happen to my dad?
Isn't Xiao Xia here?
I know that by saying this,
you must feel that I'm very selfish.
But Hao Feng,
let's just stay there for a year.
Wait till the child is
born there smoothly,
we will come back here.
At that time,
when we've established a firm footing,
we'll then let Uncle Chen go overseas to seek treatment.
Okay?
You want me to abandon my dad here and not care about him?
This is impossible.
You also want me
to leave him under Xiao Xia's care?
This is impossible too.
I know
I shouldn't be this selfish.
You can't bear to leave your father.
It's not like I can.
Hao Feng.
I really want to go back there to see my father.
I also want
to get
their blessings.
Let's wait for
me to settle my dad
and Xiao Xia first.
For everything at the restaurant
to be right on track, then
I will go with you to the States to visit him.
