Episode 2 Subtitled by ????~Fensi Subs~
You know that
Japanese competitor?
How would I know him?
I don?t.
Don?t tell me it?s because he saved me that...
Not bad.
Yeah.
That?s Ge Ge?s.
What noodles are these?
Judges,
the noodle dish I made today
is a traditional and popular dish from my hometown of Hang Zhou,
San Yuan Turtle Shell Noodles.
Legend has it
every scholar who sat for the Imperial Exams in Beijing
just needed to eat this noodle dish
and they?d pass with flying colors.
It came to be known as ?Monopolizing the turtle head*.?
*An idiom meaning to come in first place; be the champion
In this bowl of San Yuan Turtle Shell Noodles
is a 100-year-old turtle shell
that has been boiled overnight.
After using that as the soup base,
tea eggs made from Long Jing tea*
*A type of green tea Hang Zhou is famous for
and fresh eggs from free-range chickens
were added.
I also hope my dish
can monopolize the turtle head.
100-year-old turtle shell.
You live up to your reputation.
The thick broth
and refreshing tea leaves
complement each other perfectly.
This soup is wonderful.
Pass with flying colors, best in any field.
Whether it?s noodles or significance,
both are great.
Just great!
Right, you?re right.
Japanese contestant,
why do your noodles taste so strange?
Not completely Korean, and
not completely Chinese.
They seem like Chinese Pian?er Chuan noodles,
but the flavor of the broth
is Korean-style.
T-that?s because...
it?s my own creation.
Korean-style Miso Ramen.
Right, Miso Ramen.
About me...
I?ve lived on my own in Korea for 7 years.
I can make most Korean dishes.
There are two commonalities
in Korea cuisine:
Pickled vegetables and soybean paste.
Soybean paste in particular
is relatively simple to make
and rich in nutrients.
What I?m getting at is,
I wanted to try
putting soybean paste in noodle soup
to see what kind of taste will come out of it.
Plus,
I got inspiration from the Pian?er Chuan
I ate at Hang Zhou Noodle yesterday.
I wondered if my Chinese friends
would like it if I used bamboo shoots and vegetables
in place of cabbage.
This is the dish
I produced as a result.
It takes from both Korean and Chinese influences.
As for why I?m saying this...
Because
my mom is Korean
and my dad is Chinese,
I am from
both Korea and China.
That?s why I made this noodle dish.
I hope everyone can enjoy.
Dad won?t have any issues, will he?
I think Dad pays too close attention
to this Japanese contestant.
No way.
Dad?s a very fair-minded person.
If he?s better than Xiaojian,
he?ll definitely get first place.
But if he?s not better,
this is also a rare opportunity to learn.
It?s fine.
Yes.
This is the taste.
This battlefield flavor.
The kitchen
is the daily battlefield for us chefs.
Every ingredient
spares no expense to charge the enemy lines.
I?m happy to see the effort
every contestant expended
today in this competition.
But in a battle,
there is always a winner and a loser.
Neither title lasts forever.
It is subject to challenge
and is often subverted.
Thus, today?s victor
is just as likely to be tomorrow?s loser.
But no matter what,
we always need a result.
I now declare
the 2012 Asian Noodle Rookie Audition?s champion to be
Zhang Jian.
Ge Ge! It?s Ge Ge!
Ge Ge! You?re amazing!
Good job, Ge Ge!
Awesome!
Zhang Jian.
Fine.
Starting today,
you?re my, Teng Yuan Hao?s, rival.
There will come a day
I will make you realize my prowess.
Oh well.
Here, here. Hand it over.
Ge Ge!
Congratulations.
Ge Ge!
Congratulations, congratulations.
You were amazing today, Ge Ge! Here!
Take it.
Go away. I don?t want it.
Move out of the way, excuse me.
Miss, move, move.
Look at Xiaojian, that child.
He?
Alright, alright.
I think Xiaojian
has his own way of thinking.
He?ll take care of things.
Don?t take my picture!
Seriously.
Let?s go.
This is so embarrassing.
What are you looking at?
Get lost!
Come on.
He?s like me.
He uses one hand to knead dough.
Is this destiny?
Come in.
Grandpa.
Ling Ling.
You must be happy Zhang Jian won.
What?s wrong, Grandpa?
Nothing.
But it looks like something?s worrying you.
Ling Ling.
Can you help me with something?
Of course!
(Phone: Zhang Mei) ?You won, congratulations!?
?Come home soon?
Could you find out
where that Korean guy is staying?
That... shouldn?t he have checked in before the competition?
I?ll go check it out.
What?s wrong?
That kid?s really interesting.
Bring him here for me.
Bring him here?
And tell him
to go start working at the noodle shop straight away.
Grandpa.
Our contest?s rules clearly state
only the first place winner can do that.
Never mind that stuff.
Just do as I say.
But Grandpa,
I think that Korean guy?s really strange.
He put both bamboo shoots
and that soybean or whatever paste
from Korea in his noodles.
I told him he could find
the bamboo shoots in the forest.
You know him, Grandpa?
I don?t.
It?s just a touch of fate.
But when I ate his noodles,
I tasted
the feeling he put in them.
His passion for noodles,
how can they be so similar
to mine at his age?
Grandpa.
Go on.
Come in.
Grandpa.
Xiaojian.
What?s up?
Not going out to celebrate with your friends?
I...
I want to hear your opinion.
How were my Best in the Field noodles today?
Indicative of your personality.
Indicative of my personality?
The inheritor of Hang Zhou Noodle
made a magnificent bowl of
San Yuan Turtle Shell noodles.
It could become your signature dish.
Then Grandpa,
what you?re saying is,
that dish is indicative of my personality,
but it doesn?t suit the noodles themselves?
Not exactly.
It?s more like it isn?t loyal to them.
Grandpa.
Hang Zhou Noodle
can sell a bowl of its most expensive noodles for a few hundred Yuan.
We ought to have dishes
that can match that high price.
You?re right.
Taking common foods
and packaging them like they?re filled with gold
could be a revolutionary idea in the noodle business.
The noodles could be magnificent,
but that magnificence must come with confidence.
Confidence is what your noodles lack.
Confidence?
What do you mean by confidence?
It?s the faith you have in the noodles.
We?re chefs.
Our confidence stems
from being able to set noodles in front of customers
and have them consume them completely.
For example, with hundreds of delicacies
placed in front of them,
they have to be willing to choose
the bowl of noodles we made.
That is the noodle-maker?s confidence.
Xiaojian.
I?m probably
too strict with you.
I might be a
more kindly grandpa
if you didn?t make noodles.
Grandpa, don?t say that.
I understand.
You aren?t hard on me,
you?re hard on noodles.
I?m glad you understand.
(Paper: Hang Zhou Noodle Rookie Happily Carrying On)
You?ve seen the news too.
I never expected that kid to steal the show.
I couldn?t care less.
I?m the champion after all.
Your grandfather might not think so.
I know Grandpa?s paying him close attention.
That kid...
I don?t think he?s anything special.
Xiaojian,
don?t give in so easily.
The person who?s going to inherit Hang Zhou Noodle
has only one path to walk.
What are you talking about?
Get hold of Grandpa?s favor.
Cater to his likes.
The best way to do so
is to start work at the noodle shop from the ground floor.
Have you not noticed?
Your grandfather doesn?t like you.
Have you not noticed?
Your grandfather doesn?t like you.
I think he was forced into letting you
win this competition.
He certainly wasn?t pleased about it.
What are you going on about?
I won the competition
because Grandpa thought my noodles were worthy of first place.
Stop acting so immature.
We both know
this isn?t like the old days.
Hang Zhou Noodle
is on the down and out.
We need to reinvigorate the family business.
You can want to or not,
but your grandfather needs to
put all his trust into you.
Listen to me.
Start at the ground level.
Become a dish washer.
Play your part well.
In the future, you will own
all of Hang Zhou Noodle.
You must be joking.
It?s not like anyone else
can inherit the restaurant.
Stop being so ignorant.
Your dad doesn?t like making noodles.
Your grandpa?s always on the lookout for an apprentice.
If you allow an outsider to snatch up this role,
it will be much too late for regrets then.
Enough!
Would you stop with the hypocrisy?
I?ve done what you?ve told me
for so many years.
Am I a three-year-old kid?
Am I your pawn
to be moved back and forth?
What are you saying?
You?re Mrs Zhang now.
Hang Zhou Noodle?s Vice-Chairwoman.
Why are you still scheming?
You have everything you want.
Aren?t you satisfied yet?
You?ve forgotten
who brought you to China.
Who allowed you to live
this sort of well-off life.
Jiang Hu Zhen.
I forbid you to call me that.
That?s all in the past.
I don?t have to throw myself at the feet of anyone anymore.
I?ve thought about what I want to do.
I can start my own business.
Also,
I?ll tell you this one more time.
I am the sole inheritor for the Zhang family.
Do whatever you want on your own.
Xiaojian, listen to me.
I?
You?re very intelligent
and have a good grasp of concepts.
With your trip to the States,
you learnt all sorts of new cooking ideas.
Perhaps because of this,
you also became more ambitious.
Listen to me.
Start at the ground level.
Become a dish washer.
Play your part well.
In the future, you will own
all of Hang Zhou Noodle.
What?
You want to start at the bottom?
Have you thought it over?
I?ve thought it over, Dad.
Xiaojian,
menial jobs aren?t easy.
Besides,
I?ve already planned it out for you.
You?ll have a store manager position.
Do you have to put yourself through this?
Dad,
I?ve thought this over for a long time.
Although I won the competition this time,
my actual battle experience is limited.
If I?m hastily put into your plans and made a store manager,
I won?t be respected.
Plus, if I start from the bottom
the position of manager later on
will be much more beneficial.
So Dad,
I hope you?ll support me.
I?
Dad.
Good boy.
Dad.
Grandpa.
You can finally settle down and do something.
Good.
Your determination
will be the hope
for Hang Zhou Noodle as it enters tomorrow.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Then tomorrow, I?ll
start working in the back kitchen.
Okay.
We?ll add one more person.
Dad,
wasn?t Xiaojian the only winner of the competition?
You want to add someone else?
Who?
I?m thinking of letting that
Korean contestant
work in our restaurant.
Mom.
I came to Hang Zhou
with the hope of finding Dad.
I didn?t expect this wish
to fall apart so quickly.
You must be disappointed too.
Dad,
I?m going to leave Hang Zhou.
I don?t know whether you?re
still living in this city.
Who did that?
You again?
You stupid pervert!
Hold on.
You did that on purpose!
Hold on!
Stay right there!
Don?t move!
Nothing ever good happens when I see you.
You gave me a fright
last time in the bamboo forest.
Just a second.
Today you covered me in noodles.
We?re ill-fated.
Here.
Ill-fated!
What the heck?
You really are something.
Running into me gives you bad luck?
Let me tell you,
I?m the one with bad luck here.
Your first instinct is to hit me.
If I hadn?t saved you that day,
would my arm have been hurt?
Because of that, my noodles
didn?t turn out right
on the day of the competition.
Don?t you realize
how important
that competition was to me?
Now you...
You?re actually blaming me.
Let me tell you the truth,
you?re the strangest girl I?ve ever laid eyes on.
You really are too much!
Strange? You?re calling me strange?
Would I have misunderstood you
if you weren?t so careless?
Could I have?
Look at your expression.
Don?t you know how ugly you look?
If I knew you?d be like this,
I?d have treated you like a New Year?s cake
and let you tumble onto the ground.
Who are you calling ugly?
Who are you calling unattractive?
Look at your eyes.
They look like this.
So ugly.
I don?t want to see them anymore.
Really rather ugly.
I?m leaving.
Bad luck.
Hold on.
Why did you come anyway?
Weren?t you looking for me?
I had something to say, now I don?t.
Why did you come anyway?
Weren?t you looking for me?
I had something to say, now I don?t.
Hold on, hold on.
Just a second.
Hey!
You...
Don?t be angry.
Just blame everything on me.
I don?t think you?re a bad person.
Alright, I forgive you.
Don?t be angry.
It?s fine.
I formally forgive you.
It?s fine.
Who needs your forgiveness?
Don?t you know you?re the one in the wrong?
You should be apologizing to me.
Understand?
Forgive me?
Okay.
Hold on.
Get lost!
Why are you angry?
Can?t you tell me why?
I?m so angry right now.
I don?t want to say anything.
Alright.
I know you?re upset.
But no matter why you?re angry,
I can?t have a bunny for you.
Angry.
Bunny.
You all right there?
Rabbit, rabbit.
Not funny?
Just tell me why you?re here.
Seriously.
I came to inform you that
you?ve been recruited by our noodle shop.
Noodle shop?
You?re saying I...
have been recruited by the noodle shop?
Stop joking around.
Yes, I have so much free time,
I especially came running over here
to joke around with you.
I?m telling you,
The owner, Mr Zhang Gao Xiu,
especially recruited you.
I... I can work at the noodle shop?
I?m working the noodle shop!
I?ve been recruited!
I can stay in Hang Zhou!
Thank goodness!
That?s awesome!
Stop.
Don?t be prematurely happy.
Everyone at the noodle shop is an pro.
You?re just a little worker ant.
Forget it.
Don?t underestimate me, alright?
Originally,
I cooked noodles
for children in Korea.
The kids who ate my noodles
would all say,
?Ge Ge,
your noodles
are beyond our imagination.
They taste heavenly.?
Those words
coming from my mouth
are a little... y?know.
But Koreans think
my noodles are unique.
Unique?
What a poor choice of words.
No, no, no.
I know right now you?re looking down on me.
That?s fine.
But
I can?t randomly
underestimate my own noodles, right?
Starting tomorrow,
I?ll become
a chef at Hang Zhou Noodle.
I?ll give you a taste of Jiang Xiu Can?s
Korean Cabbage Noodles.
When that happens,
you?ll say with a completely satisfied face,
?This really is heavenly.
A heavenly taste!?
We?ll see what happens tomorrow.
I?m leaving now.
You start tomorrow at 8:00.
Don?t be late.
Not a problem at all.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye!
Go! Go! Go!
Zhang Lin! Zhang Lin!
Excuse me.
Nice, nice.
Good job.
Zhang Lin,
congratulations on winning.
Thanks.
We?re all happy you?ve won.
We oughta have a celebration.
I know a good place.
Let?s go together.
Thanks.
Zhang?
Lin!
En Ying!
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Today,
let?s celebrate together.
En Ying.
Run Mei?
You two know each other?
Yeah, she?s my friend.
Run Mei,
when you told me
you worked part-time during university,
it never occurred to me that you?d be
a translator with Lin?s group.
This really is a coincidence.
Yes, it is.
How do you know Zhang Lin?
It?s a long story.
Right, Lin?
En Ying is my girlfriend.
You two are friends.
So beautiful.
Your child is, too.
Have you chosen a name yet?
No.
The father ran away
before the child was even born.
Have you chosen a name yet?
What is it?
Hu Shui*.
*Literally, ?Lake Water?
Because his dad?s hometown
has a West Lake (Xi Hu)*.
*The name of numerous lakes in China
Then I?ll
name this one Hu Zhen*.
*Literally ?Real Lake?
Hu Zhen?
When will Zhang Lin get here?
Should be soon.
Next week is the fencing competition.
Will you be going to China, then?
I want to bring Hu Shui.
We?ll go to that West Lake together.
What about you?
Won?t it be sad if
Hu Zhen never has a father?
That has nothing to do with you.
Mind your own business.
Miss En Ying?
Mr Ma.
What are you doing here?
Zhang Lin asked me to bring this letter to you.
Thank you.
Here
You?re welcome.
Do you want something to drink?
I?m a little busy.
I have to go.
Thank you, then.
Goodbye.
My Dear En Ying,
I?m sorry for not being able to keep my promise.
I couldn?t make it
to the competition in Korea because of an accident.
It?s been a fight for my life in the year
following the car crash.
My life is finally picking up.
Don?t worry about me,
I?ll recover quickly.
I really miss you, En Ying.
I hope you don?t blame me
for not immediately flying to Korea to find you.
Are you doing all right?
If you can ever forgive me,
I?ll leave no stone unturned
in order to come to Korea for you.
It was difficult to find someone
who would deliver this letter.
En Ying,
before we meet,
please keep in touch.
I love you. Zhang Lin.
Run Mei?
Where are you going?
Are you going to the orphanage?
You?re not going to help me raise him.
Since I have no time to bring him up,
I?ll go find someone who does.
Isn?t that fine?
Run Mei.
You?re a mother now.
You can?t act like...
act like a headstrong little girl.
Since you gave birth to Hu Zhen,
you have to take care of him.
You can?t throw away your child
to marry someone rich.
Wang Jin Bao thinks
I?m a single woman.
He would never dream
I have a child.
Do you have to marry him?
Can?t you be content raising him
yourself like I am?
En Ying.
You will endure hardships your whole life
for the sake of a deceitful man.
It?s your business if
you want to live that way.
I won?t be like you.
I?m still young.
It was hard to get blissful days within my reach.
I can?t continue to suffer hardships
because of a child.
Run Mei...
Enough.
Since you can?t help me raise him,
mind your own business.
Wu Run Mei!
I?m Zhang Jian!
Tomorrow we?ll be working together.
I can see you each and every day.
Really?
Mom.
Mom!
I did it.
I?ve been recruited by Hang Zhou Noodle!
Mom.
Be rest assured, Mom.
I?ll definitely succeed.
After I do that,
I?ll find Dad and Hu Zhen.
I?ll do it.
Trust me.
I?m going to be late!
Mom,
your child, Jiang Xiu Can,
inherited your brilliant sense of taste
and honest style.
All of Hang Zhou Noodle,
all of everything,
will come into my grasp!
I?m off to work.
?Oh love is blue
?I will never again let go of your hand
?I?ll do all I can to run the direction
?You face in the morning
?No need to pause in the past
?No need to bear sadness again
?You will not lose
?Hurry towards a beautiful life
Hey! You?
It?s you.
So you?re rich.
Running away?
Hey!
Wait up!
Don?t run!
I won!
I won, little car!
I?m exhausted.
Let me catch my breath.
I won.
We aren?t close.
