Episode 8 Subtitled by ????~Fensi Subs~
The bankruptcy of Zhong Yuan Noodle
has awoken me.
I?m afraid
their today
is our tomorrow.
Right.
So we must
cultivate a complete awareness in our employees
That way we can compete.
Xiaojian working on creating
the main dish for the water park shop
worries me a bit.
I?m not sure he?s that capable.
But... Dad...
Xiaojian is hard-working and competent.
But you need to understand
how ruthless the market is.
He needs to learn how to compete.
Learn to rely on his own strengths
and produce his own ideas.
Having a competitor and some pressure
will stimulate his potential.
Grandpa.
You?re drinking tea?
What are you doing up so early?
I wanted to ask your opinion
on the books I?ve been reading lately.
What have you drawn from your reading?
They just confuse me more.
I?ve found that every book
has its own way of looking at good food.
Why do you still rely on books
to make food?
For more understanding
that I can put towards my own cooking.
After all, there are limits
to one?s own understanding.
I want to expand my own views.
Good thinking.
But Grandpa,
I?m still not clear how
I should approach making the main noodle dish.
The water park noodles
are different from
Hang Zhou Noodle?s.
Whether it?s due to the style
or the target audience,
there are a lot of variables.
Still,
no matter where the customer is coming from,
they won?t reject good food.
Good food isn?t thorough,
but it has to have heart.
Food is a sentient being.
It can tell how much of yourself you?re putting into it.
The more you put in, the tastier it is.
I understand, Grandpa.
I?ll do my best.
I called you all here today
because I have good news.
Hang Zhou Noodle
and the water park developer
reached a tentative agreement last night.
In the water park,
we will open our 24th store.
Alright!
That?s good news.
I will be choosing
outstanding and diligent employees
to work there from the group standing here.
You will receive
a higher salary
and favorable benefits.
At the same time,
we?re going to have
a series of elimination competitions
to weed out the bad eggs
ingrained in Hang Zhou Noodle.
It will be a fierce battle.
Starting now, we?re raising the curtain.
He?s talking about you.
It?s you.
It?s not me.
Everyone knows
a good noodle shop
must have both classic dishes
as well as an influx of new ideas
to suit market demands.
In order to satisfy those demands,
our water park shop
will introduce a new dish.
As for the person who has been chosen to develop this new dish...
I?ll hand it over to my father, Mr Zhang Gao Xiu,
to make the announcement.
As the Chairman said,
it will be a fierce battle.
The one to win this competition
will rise to develop the new dish.
The competitors they?ve chosen are
Zhang Jian
and Jiang Xiu Can.
Why is Grandpa making me
compete with Jiang Xiu Can again?
Calm down.
Zhang Jian,
Jiang Xiu Can,
come find me with Ling Ling after the meeting.
Grandpa.
You?re here.
Have a seat.
Move over.
Sit down.
What?s going on?
Xiaojian,
are you upset that I announced
you and Xiu Can
will be competing for the main dish?
Grandpa.
Xu You Cai proposed to make a new dish
because he ate my noodles.
What?s this got to do with him?
Why must I compete with him?
Because
I want to use a new method
to test your ability to make noodles.
How can you be reassured
when it?s just you by yourself
without any competition?
The noodles you made today
completely demonstrated your potential.
Thank you for having confidence in me, Grandpa,
and for giving me a chance.
But
I haven?t
made that many dishes so far.
I don?t even know where to start.
Good point.
But you must remember that
neither delicious tricks
nor irrelevant bursts of creativity
are at the core of noodle dishes.
This time, I hope
the water park shop?s main noodle dish
can be related to youth.
You need to produce a youthful flavor.
Surely you have more right
to speak on this matter than I do.
Hold on.
Grandpa.
What do you mean by
?youthful flavor??
You can?t eat youth.
How can we make that into noodles?
Grandpa, you must be joking.
Grandpa.
Could you clarify
what you mean by youthful flavor?
This...
You?re asking me?
You?re asking an old man about the flavor of youth?
Don?t tell me you want this old man
to tell you all...
to tell you the flavor of youth.
My flavor of youth
is nothing like yours.
To make this bowl of noodles,
you first have to know what youth is.
What the flavor of youth is.
Since the flavor of youth
is in each of our hearts,
we must seek to comprehend it.
What?s most important is
remembering youthful noodle dishes
depend on the opinions of youths themselves.
Zhu Ling Ling
is an expert noodle taster
and can testify as a youth.
To get what I want,
you must first go through her.
Grandpa...
Alright.
You have one month
to give me an answer.
Everyone,
the clock starts now.
Get moving!
Yes, sir!
Youth!
I understand, Grandpa.
Good luck.
Go on.
Zhang Jian and Xiu Can
are two extremes.
Zhang Jian
follows the rules too closely
whereas Xiu Can is too loose.
Who do you think will win?
Zhang Jian and Xiu Can
are two extremes.
Zhang Jian
follows the rules too closely
whereas Xiu Can is too loose.
Who do you think will win?
I think that Xiu Can?s
tendency to depend on intuition to make noodles
makes them a lot different from Zhang Jian?s.
So I feel
Zhang Jian will definitely win.
Not necessarily.
Xiu Can is full of feeling
and enthusiasm toward noodles.
Zhang Jian is not.
This time will be different.
They will have to uncover
a new level in their abilities.
It?s also different because
it will not just be as simple as
mixing together materials and matching flavors.
I still think Zhang Jian?s going to win.
I can?t believe it.
For how long I?ve been cooking,
I can really compete with you.
Do you know?
I admire your cooking standard.
If I can compare with you,
then it?ll really...
It really won?t be anything.
But being able to compete with you
is already really, really meaningful to me.
Good that you know.
I think Grandpa gave you this chance.
You don?t realize your true place.
Right, I know.
After all it?s a competition.
This time we?ll... we?ll...
Both... both work hard.
Here.
Xiaojian.
Xiaojian!
Grandpa?s gone too far this time.
Don?t mind him.
I?ll go ask him
how that Korean kid
has the right to compete with you.
If we don?t compete, how can I prove I?m better?
Xiaojian.
You really think this is just a
competition to make noodles
for a water park shop?
You?re wrong.
Grandpa wants to use this time
to introduce a new noodle dish
and cultivate the Hang Zhou Noodle successor.
You have quite the imagination there.
This is just a small competition.
You?re your father?s son.
Grandpa?s grandson.
You have every right to inherit Hang Zhou Noodle.
There is absolutely no need to enter a competition.
That damn Jiang Xiu Can.
He has nothing to do with our family.
What right does he have
to stand in line with you?
Also,
that bratty girl Zhu Ling Ling
is a housekeeper?s daughter!
What right does she have to judge?
Grandpa really has lost his mind.
He doesn?t trust you at all!
No one in the Zhang family
is dependable.
I can only rely on myself
to save you.
You have a high opinion of yourself.
What do mean you can only rely
on yourself to save me?
With or without you,
I can beat him.
Fine.
If this is a competition to choose the successor,
I have all the confidence I?ll beat him.
I?m telling you,
this is my business.
I don?t need you butting in.
If you use despicable methods
to handle Jiang Xiu Can,
I?ll cut all ties with you!
Xiaojian.
Xiaojian!
Please come again.
Take care, Chairman Zhang, Vice-Chairwoman Wu.
What is going on here?
Yu Ting?s dad already appointed
Xiaojian to make the new dish.
How can that Korean kid stick his nose in again?
It?s what Dad wants.
I can?t do anything about it.
Didn?t Dad already
remove himself from personnel matters?
This concerns his grandson.
How can he put that Korean kid
in the lime light?
Dad might have his own ideas.
Besides,
I don?t think a little competition
is a bad thing.
Don?t worry so much, okay?
I?m worrying because Xiaojian isn?t.
Grandpa pays too much attention to that Korean kid.
This isn?t fair to Xiaojian.
To tell the truth,
it?s not about being fair or unfair.
As long as Xiaojian
can make an improvement,
it?s for the best.
What do you think?
But... I...
Alright.
Dad has his own judgments.
Dad.
Listen.
I just entered
into the competition for the water park shop.
Isn?t that saying
Zhang Jian and I
are on the same level?
I really am improving day by day.
Even I can?t take it.
Aren?t I amazing?
Mom.
I?ll do my best.
Work hard.
Dad.
With how urgent you are,
this must be about your son.
Dad.
Why did you pick Xiu Can
to compete with Xiaojian?
What are you thinking exactly?
I?m getting up there in years.
I need to start
thinking about the matter of succession.
The first time
I saw that Xiu Can,
I found him to be something else.
There is amazing
natural talent in that child.
But Dad,
Xiaojian is your grandson.
I know he?s my grandchild.
I?ll give him the secret technique.
You...
But if Xiu Can does well,
I might give the secret to him.
When that time comes,
he can become
Xiaojian?s right-hand man.
Don?t tell this to Xiaojian.
They?ll quickly mature
because of this friendly competition.
You...
You?re an adult.
Don?t take everything at face-value.
Listen.
The noodle shop isn?t solely Xiaojian?s.
It?s everyone?s noodle shop.
We ought to reorganize
so that every single person knows their place
and so we can keep people on
for when Xiaojian?s inheritance
is set in stone.
You?re right, Dad.
It never occurred to me
you?d give so much thought to Xiaojian.
Alright, go on back to work.
Okay.
I?m leaving, Dad.
Hey, what are you up to?
Get off the table.
Follow the rules, would you?
Tell me.
Are you making Youth Noodles?
Don?t interrupt me.
My time is very precious.
Actually, I really do admire you.
You reached where you are today
through persistence.
You really are amazing.
But don?t worry.
I won?t lose to you.
I?ll work hard
to win this competition.
You?re going down!
I?m just kidding.
Don?t be so serious.
Don?t be angry, don?t be angry.
Do you not realize you?re interrupting me?
Sorry.
Wu Run Mei, Wu Run Mei.
I?ve searched for you for years.
I never thought you?d be in Hang Zhou.
These clothes
are pretty on you.
Really?
Let?s look over there.
Okay.
Look.
They?re interesting.
Yes, they are.
Let?s look over there.
They all look pretty.
Mrs Zhang, hello.
We just got the latest styles in.
Look at your leisure.
Okay.
Weren?t they just here?
How could she just disappear like that?
Welcome.
Excuse me, miss.
Could I ask you
if you know this woman?
This picture was taken 10 years ago.
She might have changed,
but her face should be pretty much the same.
I?ve never seen her.
Miss.
I just clearly saw her come in here to buy clothes.
How is that possible?
I said I don?t know her.
Please leave.
Miss, you?
I?ll call security if you don?t leave.
Go on.
Alright, I?m going.
The elevator?s here.
Let?s go.
Okay.
Wu Run Mei!
Run Mei!
Wu Run Mei!
Run Mei!
Wang Jin Bao.
What?s the matter?
Are you all right?
I?m fine.
Good, good.
Wu Run Mei!
Wu?
Wu Run Mei, I will find you.
Come in.
Vice-Chairwoman Wu.
You called for me?
Vice-Chairwoman Wu.
You called for me?
Come in.
I... this is my first time in your office.
It?s very elegant.
Have a seat.
No one knows you?re here, right?
Right.
Didn?t you say to keep it a secret?
That I can do.
No one knows.
Xu Heng.
You think
I can trust you?
You can.
Vice-Chairwoman Wu,
what are you getting at?
I know
you have a lot of gambling debt.
No, I rarely gamble.
It?s not that much.
Here.
Take this and pay it off.
So much.
It?s not for free.
I know you hide your identity to visit the gambling dens.
I want you to help me ask around for someone.
His name is Wang Jin Bao.
He?s a gambler like you.
You two might even know each other already,
Maybe.
Wang Jin Bao...
It sounds familiar.
Does he have any other distinguishing qualities?
He?s around the same age as me.
He once lived in Korea.
That?s it?
Finding him will be like
finding a needle in a haystack.
No worries.
I know you won?t disappoint me.
Right?
Noodles are here.
Hello.
Excuse me.
Your noodles are here.
Careful.
Thanks.
I?ll do it.
Careful, it?s hot.
Enjoy.
Ge Ge!
Where is he?
Ge Ge!
Lower your voice.
Where?s Ge Ge?
Ge Ge!
What are you doing here?
I thought you might be hungry.
I brought you some sweets.
No thanks.
Ge Ge,
I have good news for you.
My dad found a really good spot
in the water park.
I asked him to save it for you.
Why thanks.
I?m busy right now.
No time to hang out with you.
Ge Ge.
Hey, hey.
C?mere.
Some girl you are.
Your Xiaojian-gege said he has to work.
He?s busy.
How come you don?t understand anything
about men?s language?
Men?s language?
What?s that?
Don?t know, huh?
C?mere, have a seat.
I?ll tell you.
Listen up.
Every man
treats women differently.
Some sweet talk the one they like
to make them happy.
Some men
use their actions to prove
how they?re the best.
Like your Xiaojian-gege there.
What is he working so hard at his job
and putting his all into researching noodles for?
He?s depending on his own strength
to get that shop.
Where should he
store away his pride
when you come over and yell about
how you?re helping him get the shop?
That so...
I should be a girl
who thinks about others.
I?m going to become a warm-hearted girl!
I?ll do it!
Remember this.
You must give it to Ge Ge.
Sure.
Listen.
You?re dead if you forget.
I?m off, bye.
You think you?re a customer?
What am I doing here?
Who put this in my hands?
How odd.
It really is odd.
Dad.
You?re up so late.
I saw the kitchen lights on.
I knew it?d be you here.
I brought this for you.
Thanks, Dad.
Nothing?s coming together.
I?ve tried so many ideas,
but there are still no results.
I have no idea
how to make Youth Noodles.
If it were that easy,
then it wouldn?t be a battle.
Everyone at Hang Zhou Noodle
would have a shot.
Actually, the harder it is,
the more it will test you.
That makes it so after you win,
you?ll have more respect.
I?ve found out how dull my childhood was.
There?s nothing to draw from.
You
try too hard.
You value your head above all.
But that?s how you lose sight of
many things.
Still no matter what,
I trust that you have
some unforgettable memories from your youth
that you?re just not remembering right now.
Turn those into flavor.
Child.
You?re always
in your own world,
so you?re not used to this.
Remember,
don?t increase your own stress.
Follow your own methods
and think it over carefully.
You?ll discover your own
Flavor of Youth.
Understand?
I understand, Dad.
Don?t wear yourself out.
Make sure to rest.
You too.
Drink up.
Starch...
Xiu Can!
What are you doing awake?
Ah... still thinking about the Youth Noodles.
Yeah.
I?m not getting any ideas.
Ling Ling, what do you think youth is?
Youth?
I?ll give you a lesson.
Ling Ling, what do you think youth is?
Youth?
I?ll give you a lesson.
I think every single person
has a different perception of youth.
Perhaps some feel
youth should be
doing whatever you want.
Being carefree and unrestrained.
But
there might be others who feel
youth should be spent freely.
Do some of what you want to
when you?re young
in order to reduce the amount of regrets when you?re old.
But I feel
youth should be a struggle.
Youth is a struggle...
Gather all your difficulties
and perfect your dreams with them.
Then,
Ling Ling, what?s your youth?
Ling Ling?s youth.
My youth?
My youth...
is secretly liking someone
deep in my heart.
It?s obvious those two
can never be together,
but I can?t let go
and can?t give up.
Even if I can only watch him
from far, far, far, far away,
I already feel I?m very blessed.
Good thinking.
So
although this is evident,
I still can?t shorten
that distance between us
no matter how hard I try.
All I can think about is how
I can wait by his side
and watch over his array of emotions.
This already satisfies my heart.
We?re two people
from different worlds,
like two parallel lines
that will never intersect.
But in the midst of their identical travels,
they will watch over the other forever.
I?ll never lose him.
Even though
there are unsupportive people
who oppose us,
who suppress me,
I?m happy to do anything
because I know
he?ll always be in my heart.
You know the story of Liang Zhu?*
*The story of Liang Zhu is about tragic lovers who are kept apart due to deception and unable to marry despite their love until they join each other in the grave. The story?s been told on stage and reproduced for film and TV.
Liang Zhu.
I was singing Liang Zhu?
So that?s what?s it called.
When I couldn?t fall asleep when I was young,
Mom would hum this lullaby for me.
It?s the first time I?ve heard someone
call Liang Zhu a lullaby.
But
you must have been happy
when your mom did that.
Yeah.
Every time I hear this song,
I?m reminded of her.
You must miss her.
Of course I do.
But
every time I miss her,
I?ll look over there.
Look.
The sparkling star in the sky.
Look, it?s that one.
That one.
Do you see it?
That?s Mom?s star.
Really.
Hello, Mom.
Ling Ling.
Xiu Can.
Xiu Can!
Your mom must?ve been pretty.
How?d you know?
If you look closely enough,
you?re not that bad looking.
So your mom must?ve been really pretty.
I?m quite handsome.
Look.
Ling Ling.
Thank you.
What for?
Whenever I?m
feeling down,
you?ll appear at my side and give me courage.
It makes me really happy.
That?s because we?re friends.
By the way,
how?s the idea going
for your Youth Noodles now?
No problem.
Don?t be discouraged.
Youth means using hard work
to overcome challenges
and perfect your dreams.
Ling Ling says so.
Right.
You?re absolutely right.
Youth
means not giving up on your dreams
and trying hard until the very end.
That?s what youth is.
And Jiang Xiu Can?s youth
is never saying I give up.
It?s giving me all to become an
amazing chef.
That?s the Jiang Xiu Can I know.
Go for it.
Thank you.
It seems I already understand
what youth is.
Wait for me.
Work hard!
Work hard.
This.
And this.
Uncle Wei,
there?s a girl looking for you outside.
Alright, I?ll go take a look.
Xiu Can.
Jiang Xiu Can!
Done.
Don?t tell me you worked all night
to make these noodles?
