Episode 17 Subtitled by ????~Fensi Subs~
Vice-Chairwoman Wu.
Did you ask for me?
How do you do your job?
Didn?t I ask you to keep a close eye on Wang Jin Bao?
Why has he come to the noodle shop without you knowing?
He came so suddenly.
No one thought he would have.
Then answer this.
What?s his situation right now?
I heard he?s going through the motions.
He?s preparing to close his touring company
and leave Hang Zhou for Korea.
Is your source reliable?
It is.
I heard it from one of his employees.
He?s given out their severance pays.
It?s reliable, no doubt.
That so...
Watch him closely 24/7 for me.
If even a blade of grass moves,
report it to me immediately.
If something like today happens again,
you will finish up your business and leave!
You?re dismissed.
Please do not deliberately complicate things.
Wang Jin Bao.
It?s best if you disappear quickly.
Okay.
I?ll have to depend on you.
Please, do your best for me.
Watch.
I?m going to start making it.
I was wondering why the lights were still on.
Turns out you?re here.
Alright, stop stealing food.
I?m thinking about the noodle shop?s current crisis.
I told you to stop eating!
I?m wondering whether there?s still a way,
if I can?t make some better dishes.
I told you to stop eating!
I think if we can introduce a new dish,
we might be able to save the noodle shop.
That so?
Taking a different route.
In Korea,
the most famous dish is Jajangmyeon.
Everyone, boy or girl, young or old, likes it.
So? I told you to stop eating!
Alright, alright.
Put it down.
Hang it over, put it here.
So,
I want to try making Jajangmyeon.
Smells good.
You still got some skills.
Truthfully?
I told you to stop eating!
Hey.
Didn?t you go home after work?
What are you doing back here?
I was hungry, I couldn?t sleep.
Funny you came here now.
You?ll be the first one to eat my Jajangmyeon.
Hold on.
Okay, sure.
How much longer?
About ten minutes.
Ten minutes?
You don?t get it.
For Korean Jajangmyeon,
you have to put in peas.
I have to get some,
then you can eat it.
Hold on.
Sure, peas, peas.
Don?t eat.
I told you to not eat!
Stealing food again.
You?re so neurotic.
I?ll open what you closed.
Where are the peas?
Where?s Teng Yuan Hao?
Where?d he run off to?
Seriously...
That punk.
Teng Yuan Hao!
Delicious!
What are you doing here alone?
I?m here to practice making noodles.
I kinda slipped into singing and dancing.
Just singing around.
Anyone here?
Here! Coming!
I?ll go take a look.
Hello.
Are you closed?
At this moment,
our shop is indeed closed.
That?s too bad.
I especially came here.
I didn?t think you?d be closed.
Actually,
I?m more scared that with no other customers,
we won?t be able to make what you want to order.
I?ll have to ask you to excuse us.
I?m sorry.
It?s okay, it?s okay.
As long as it?s from Hang Zhou Noodle,
any dish is fine.
Okay. Then I?ll go ahead and make you something.
Thank you.
Okay, please.
Here, please have a seat.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you for liking our noodles.
Mr Zhang,
I should be the one thanking you.
Do we know each other?
Thank you.
Thank you for liking our noodles.
Mr Zhang,
I should be the one thanking you.
Do we know each other?
Actually,
when I was really young,
I ate your noodles.
Noodles will be out soon!
No wonder Hang Zhou Noodle?s noodles are so delicious.
The chefs make them with such precision.
You can see how much he enjoys making noodles.
Watching him cook
is really enjoyable.
He looks a lot like you
when making noodles.
What? You?ve seen me cook?
Into the pan!
Go ahead.
Right, this is the taste.
Really tasty.
While I was abroad,
I longed for this everyday until I came home.
To be able to eat a bowl of noodles from Hang Zhou Noodle.
So
as soon as you returned,
you immediately came here to eat?
Thank you so much.
Right, as soon as I got off the plane,
I came here.
The noodles here really make me feel so content.
Yeah.
Okay, eat up.
It won?t taste good when it?s cold.
Thank you.
I should be thanking you.
Goodbye.
Okay, goodbye.
Bye.
Take care.
Grandpa.
Grandpa?
What?s the matter?
I?m thinking about that kid.
One day he might think of our noodles again
and suddenly come over here,
only to find the sign above our shop has changed.
He?ll be saddened when the noodles
won?t taste quite right.
Yeah, Grandpa.
That?s why we must protect Hang Zhou Noodle.
Recently
because of personal issues,
I?ve allowed others in the noodle shop to suffer.
Grandpa, don?t say that.
Although we?re facing a crisis,
we just need to work hard together
and we can overcome this difficult situation.
I?m sure it won?t be a problem.
Okay.
Xiu Can, what you say is right.
This noodle shop isn?t just my flesh and blood.
Suddenly going bankrupt won?t only hurt myself.
It will hurt those who always support our noodle shop.
Right?
Grandpa, could it be what you mean is,
you want to accept the battle with Teng Shi Noodle?
Is that it?
Y-you mean it?
Grandpa, that?s awesome!
Grandpa, you?re amazing!
You rascal.
Okay, go on, go on.
Go on.
Alright, alright, awesome.
Alright.
Dad.
You?re here.
In a moment
tell all the staff
to gather in the noodle shop.
I have something to tell them.
Dad.
You?re accepting the challenge with Teng Shi Noodle?
Yes.
Grandpa!
Dad.
Grandpa.
I?ve been thinking a lot these past few days.
We can?t run from
the current situation forever.
Even if you won?t personally accept the challenge,
please allow me
to enter into the competition.
Do you think you?re resolved enough to enter?
You need to know this.
If we lose the competition,
the Hang Zhou Noodle company may very well be destroyed in your hands.
At that time, you may become
Hang Zhou Noodle?s biggest villain since it was founded.
I understand.
But Grandpa,
the employees are leaving
one by one
because of the current situation.
Our customer base has also greatly decreased.
If we continue on like this,
if we don?t fight at all,
we will completely defeat ourselves.
If we don?t accept the challenge,
the employee?s morale will tumble into the depths.
In this way, the future of Hang Zhou Noodle will no longer exist.
Grandpa, Dad,
promise me.
Since your determination is this great,
as a grandpa,
how can I retreat?
Since I can?t retreat,
we?ll pull out all the stops.
You agree, Grandpa?
This is awesome!
The recent events have been an intense trial
for me and everyone here.
The situation this time is a bit peculiar.
I?ve been giving in again and again,
while they have been viciously encroaching on us.
In order to not let down our customers who are supporting Hang Zhou Noodle,
and so that we can continue
to make the most of Hang Zhou Noodle?s vigor,
I?ve decided
to accept Teng Shi Noodle?s challenge.
In addition,
this competition is not simply
a confrontation with Da Tian.
It?s a competition of strength between
Hang Zhou Noodle and Teng Shi Noodle.
So, I hope every worker at Hang Zhou Noodle
stands firm in their own position.
That will be the biggest support for this competition.
Don?t worry, Grandpa.
We will definitely do every job
to the best of our ability.
Good.
But
I?ve decided not to participate in the competition this time.
We ought to use our young people
and properly forge their talents.
Dad, how is that okay?
Right, Grandpa.
If you don?t participate,
who among us has the qualifications to?
Right.
Our noodle shop is full of talent.
How could there be nobody?
Zhang Jian.
Yes, Grandpa.
Zhang Jian will be the Head Chef for this competition.
Our noodle shop is full of talent.
How could there be nobody?
Zhang Jian.
Yes, Grandpa.
Zhang Jian will be the Head Chef for this competition.
Dad.
This isn?t appropriate.
Xiaojian is still young.
It would be safer for you to participate.
Yes,
although he doesn?t have much experience,
I trust he can undertake this responsibility.
Right now, when Hang Zhou Noodle is badly in need of people,
I trust my only grandson won?t back down.
Right, Xiaojian?
Don?t worry, Grandpa.
I won?t let you down.
Also, Dong Dong, Xiu Can,
you will accompany Zhang Jian.
You will all fight together.
Okay, Grandpa.
I will do everything I can to help him.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Me?
Grandpa.
I?m afraid I?m not up to it.
If you?re not, then just practice.
Special practice too?
Hold on.
Grandpa.
Why Jiang Xiu Can?
I can work with anybody else except him.
You...
Why can?t you work with me?
Why are you saying that, Xiaojian?
This is a very important competition.
Last time, Da Tian got the advantage
and plagiarized our noodles
because of Jiang Xiu Can.
This time,
I don?t know what mistake he?ll make.
So
that?s why I hope even more
you can give me a chance.
Let me make up for my mistakes
and return the losses to the noodle shop.
Shut up.
Xiaojian.
Now is not the time for anger.
It?s the time for us to rally together.
Xiu Can has a talent for making noodles.
You both have your individual talents.
With them, you can match up to Da Tian.
Grandpa.
How can I work with a clumsy guy like Jiang Xiu Can?
Zhang Jian.
I know you?ve never liked me,
but this isn?t the time to say those things.
We?ll talk about how you?re not satisfied with me later.
Right now what we need to discuss is Hang Zhou Noodle?s situation.
Forget it.
He?s really something.
Isn?t he?
The noodle shop is undergoing a crisis.
Instead of solving the problem,
he?s bringing this up.
Wouldn?t it be better to man up
and have a competition to settle this?
No matter what,
we have to focus on what?s important at hand.
Talk about that later.
He?s really making me angry, really.
Fine.
If I win,
you leave Hang Zhou Noodle on your own.
Let me decide how we?ll be competing.
Xiaojian?s been fencing since he was little.
This Jiang Xiu Can is really overestimating himself.
Until the competition?s final moments,
no one can know how it?s going to turn out.
But this Jiang Xiu Can...
Why did he agree so easily?
It looks like he might have some confidence.
Does he really know how to fence?
Start.
I never knew Jiang Xiu Can?d be this skilled.
I?ll win! Where are you going?
You?re my opponent!
Where are you going?
I absolutely cannot lose.
Time for noodles! Alright!
You can start eating.
Mom.
Why do you want us to fence?
I once knew someone
who was very good at fencing.
He even won a championship.
When I watch you two fence,
I remember the sound of his voice.
Mom, you suddenly look sad.
Not at all, go on, eat.
Mom.
As long as you like me and Hu Zhen fencing,
then we?ll be good and practice.
Right, Hu Zhen?
I got it.
But no matter how much you practice,
you?ll never beat me.
No matter how you practice,
you?ll never out-practice me, alright?
Why did you stop?
Xiaojian.
Are you all right?
I?m sorry.
They might be under too much pressure.
You be the judge on their fight up to this point.
You?re pretty evenly matched.
According to the rules,
I say it?s a tie.
Okay.
This tie proves he hasn?t beaten me.
He has to fulfill his promise
and leave Hang Zhou Noodle.
Xiaojian is right.
Jiang Xiu Can must leave Hang Zhou Noodle.
But before their competition,
we only made rules for winning and losing,
not if it ended in a tie.
Making him leave like this
isn?t fair to him.
Right.
This competition was Zhang Jian?s idea.
As long as Xiu Can proposes a challenge...
Besides,
ending in a draw requires both sides to agree.
Of course,
neither of them imagined this outcome.
But for the sake of the answer to Teng Shi Noodle,
and for the sake of Hang Zhou Noodle
being able to rally together completely,
we ought focus on what?s important.
Thus, I now declare
Xiu Can, as an employee of Hang Zhou Noodle,
will join hands with Zhang Jian and answer
Teng Shi Noodle?s challenge.
Grandpa!
Alright.
I?ll be keeping my eye on you two.
Xiaojian.
Go away!
Xiaojian!
He really is similar
to my younger self.
Is this really just a coincidence?
Come in.
Dad.
Xiaojian, come in.
Dad.
I don?t understand.
During the competition today,
why were you on Jiang Xiu Can?s side?
Xiaojian.
I was helping you, not him.
Do you understand?
Xiaojian.
This competition is no trivial matter.
I hope you?d be clear on that.
In this sort of situation,
Jiang Xiu Can is the person who can help you.
I hope you won?t
affect the entire situation
because of your feelings.
Besides,
as the future successor of Hang Zhou Noodle,
you ought to understand this logic.
Listen, Xiaojian,
I know you feel unsettled.
You must not be able to make sense of what I?m saying.
Right now,
you?re a lot like me at your age.
At that time,
I was very opposed to your grandpa making me deal with noodles,
so I purposely chose to become a champion fencer
in order to escape his
interference in my life.
But thinking back on it now,
I was too young back then.
I didn?t understand
how much your grandpa cared about me.
Xiaojian.
You?re a very talented young man.
I hope you can look at this situation
from a mature standpoint.
I understand, Dad.
It?s good that you do.
If I hadn?t learnt fencing back then,
I?m afraid I wouldn?t have known your mom.
Yeah.
Mom and Dad
met each other at a competition in Korea.
Yeah.
Time has passed so quickly.
In the blink of an eye,
so many years have been put behind us.
Dad.
Please don?t be upset.
But luckily,
we could meet again.
I think this is
the biggest blessing God?s given me.
By the way, Xiaojian,
you must still have the medal I gave your mom, right?
Let me see it.
What?s wrong?
When I returned, it was so sudden.
I don?t remember which luggage I left it in.
How can that be?
Do you know, Xiaojian?
That medal is testimony to the feelings between your mom and me.
It can?t be lost.
I know, Dad.
I?ll definitely find it.
Then Dad, if there?s nothing else,
I?ll get back to work.
Alright, go ahead.
Xiaojian.
You must find that medal.
There?s no way you just happened to pass by.
Xiaojian.
I heard everything your dad just told you.
About that medal...
You have to really think about it.
If you don?t have it on you,
you have to tell me.
I?ll help you think of a solution.
This is our family?s problem.
It has nothing to do with you.
These feelings
aren?t your concern.
Xiaojian.
Do you have your mom?s memento?
You must take care of it.
I want to see the medal.
What?s wrong, Mom?
Mom.
Mom, what are you looking for?
Mom.
Mom!
Mom.
Mom, what are you looking for?
Mom.
Erase, erase.
Mom.
Hu... Hu Shui.
Get that box for me.
Mom...
Good.
Mom...
Hu Shui.
Help me find your dad.
Mom! Mom!
Mom! Wake up!
Mom!
Wake up, Mom!
I remember.
Hu Shui must have the medal.
But Mom...
why did she give the medal to Hu Shui?
Why not to me?
Mr Zhang, come in, come in.
Please have a seat.
I came here to tell you that
Hang Zhou Noodle will accept Teng Shi Noodle?s challenge.
We?ve kept you waiting.
You didn?t end up disappointing me.
As long as Hang Zhou Noodle suffers
their inevitable defeat at the battlegrounds,
we can prove Teng Shi Noodle?s skills
are far above Hang Zhou Noodle.
Mr Teng Yuan.
You?re being rather rude.
Alright then.
I will respectfully wait
for your father to determine our respective superiorities.
This kind of competition
doesn?t need to inconvenience my father.
My son, lacking in skill though he is,
will represent Hang Zhou Noodle in the competition.
Why is that?
For the sake of the Hang Zhou Noodle name,
you have no qualms offering your son as sacrifice?
Mr Teng Yuan, you worry too much.
Although my son is unskilled,
I trust he can cope with this situation.
He should suffice.
Alright then, we?ll see at the competition.
Zhang Jian.
The competition is approaching.
Why do you look so unhappy?
I?m not.
You?re not?
It?s clearly written on your face.
?I?m unhappy.?
Zhang Jian.
The competition is approaching.
Why do you look so unhappy?
I?m not.
You?re not?
It?s clearly written on your face.
?I?m unhappy.?
Are you under too much stress?
Of course there?s a lot of pressure.
Grandpa actually made me and Jiang Xiu Can work together.
This is too absurd.
You?re worried Xiu Can will pull you down?
Obviously.
A careless guy like that,
he?s too sloppy.
You guys are here.
Xiu Can.
Why do you look so serious?
I?ve carefully thought it over.
This competition definitely won?t be simple.
So
I think it?d be better to approach it like this.
Me?
I?ll make the noodles
because that?s my strong suite.
So, I?ll be in charge of the dough.
Next.
You?
You?ll make the soup.
That is your strong suite.
As for Dong Dong,
he?ll be in charge of the vegetables.
What do you think of this division?
Makes sense, right?
Not bad.
Everyone works to their own strength.
I think we can win like this.
Of course.
Come, high-five, come on.
Zhang Jian, follow what I?m saying.
Me? I got three noodle dishes I?ve thought of.
You? You think of two or three soups and recipes.
Then, after two days, I?ll make good noodles,
and you? You?ll make good soup.
Then we?ll find the best combination
to see which matches best.
After making it, we?ll have everyone try it
and discuss it again.
Then, our level will gradually increase.
Not bad.
What do you think? Does it make sense?
Then, we?ll?
Enough!
Why don?t you just go compete yourself if you?re so skilled?
Zhang Jian.
Xiu Can doesn?t have any bad intentions.
He just wants to make the best preparations beforehand
in order to help in the competition.
Right?
Right.
Don?t be upset.
Xiaojian.
You?re a very talented young man.
I hope you can look at this situation
from a mature stand point.
Alright.
Since it?s Grandpa?s suggestion,
he has his own way of doing things.
We shouldn?t act on our own accord.
Right, right.
Then...
let?s hear your opinion.
What kind of soup do you think would be best?
Enough already.
Just practice on your own.
As long as you don?t pull me down, it?s fine.
That?s not what I meant.
What I meant to say is,
let?s prepare together.
Right, Zhang Jian?
This is the dough I just kneaded.
It?s just awoken.
Kid,
from your eyes, I can see a passion for making noodles.
You can?t fool anyone.
Come.
Since this is how it is,
use this ball of dough to develop your craft.
Do you also suspect me of being a spy?
I?ve watched you for a time.
Although you?re a waiter,
I see that you came to Hang Zhou Noodle
in order to study noodle making,
not to be some planted spy.
Grandpa.
You really trust me.
Alright.
Show your true talents.
Grandpa.
Pardon me.
Good morning!
Good morning, everyone!
Morning!
Last night,
I carefully thought it through.
Let me hear what you think.
First, tell me your opinion.
Then, we?ll discuss.
We?ll find common ground.
I don?t have an opinion.
Just go with what Grandpa wants.
Why are you saying that?
You?re a really smart guy.
You know a lot about cooking.
We?re already pressed for time.
We have to quickly come to a resolution together.
Like that, we can win the competition.
Are you done yet?
Are you lecturing me?
What are you talking about?
What right do I have to lecture you?
It?s simple, we?re talking about work.
I just want to have a good talk with you
so that we can cook well together.
Will you stop already?
Why did Grandpa make me work with an idiot like you?
What did you say?
I said, how could Grandpa make me partner up with you?
You?re an idiot.
Idiot?
I can accept a lot of what you say.
You can call me crazy.
You can call me a little devil, I don?t care.
But I?m telling you,
I hate it when people call me an idiot.
I?ve hated that word since I was little.
It makes me feel like I?m being insulted.
Hurry up and apologize.
Apologize.
Is there something wrong with you?
How about you hurry up and get to work?
