Episode 18 Subtitled by ????~Fensi Subs~
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?
Zhang Jian, Xiu Can,
would you guys stop talking?
Xiu Can.
Ge Ge, what?s wrong?
Did something happen?
It?s work hours right now.
What are you doing here?
Grandpa.
Why is it so lively this early in the morning?
You two,
have you been working well together?
Neither of you are speaking.
Looks like your partnership has come to a silent treaty.
Alright.
In order to look into what level your silent treaty?s training has reached,
I?ve especially asked someone to compete with you.
Treat it as a warm-up before the competition.
Grandpa really is knowledgeable.
He?s been hiding a pro.
This person must be amazing.
Please come in.
What?s he doing here?
Teng Yuan Hao.
Why is it him?
What?s he doing here?
Yeah...
Can he also make noodles?
Why is it him?
Grandpa.
Are you joking?
I know that because of what happened before,
you have your suspicions toward Teng Yuan Hao.
But we?ve lost sight of how Teng Yuan Hao
can be our practice opponent before the competition.
You don?t know, huh?
He?s Da Tian Gang Jian?s pupil.
He can act in Da Tian Gang Jian?s place
as a means for Zhang Jian and Xiu Can
to carry out a test.
I don?t think there?s a better match out there.
But Grandpa,
Teng Yuan Hao can?t make noodles.
I?ve never seen him make any before.
You?ll find out about that soon enough.
Teng Yuan Hao.
Yes, sir.
This time, will you please not hide away your talents?
Give it your all.
Yes, sir.
Da Tian Gang Jian.
His specialty is Japanese-style ramen.
I think those at Teng Shi Noodle
will be making this in the competition.
Zhang Jian, Xiu Can,
you must pull out all of your talents
against Teng Yuan Hao?s Japanese-style ramen
in order to compete on the same level.
You two make a noodle dish.
Teng Yuan Hao, you make a noodle dish on your own.
Bring it to me to judge.
Hey.
Can you cut vegetables or what?
Alright, alright. Let me, let me.
How can you be so stupid and clumsy?
Hey!
Don?t touch my stuff!
I just cut it!
Who do you think is going to win?
Look, it?s not for sure.
Do you think Xiu Can?s dish can win?
Just looking at it,
you don?t know how it will taste.
No way.
Could it actually be his dish?
I?m finished, Grandpa.
My guess was right.
You really are a noodle master.
But I don?t understand.
Since you are a noodle master,
why didn?t you stay in Japan to improve?
Why did you come to China instead?
Since I was little,
I grew up in my family?s noodle shop.
I liked eating noodles, liked making them even more.
Later, in wake of my father?s business getting bigger and bigger
along with his ambitions,
our family?s chain stores expanded without stop.
But we lost our original flavor in exchange.
It tasted the same as everything else.
Two years ago, I decided to leave my hometown
and travel around the world
to understand different noodle cultures.
Later on I realized
there are different ways to make noodles
in various places.
The flavor also completely changes.
At that moment, I knew why my family?s noodles
lost their flavor.
Because those noodles
are made using identical standards.
Those noodle shops are only focused on making money,
losing the core of the original noodles.
Are you willing to help me with something?
What is it?
Come, I?ll tell you.
Teng Yuan Hao wins.
W-why did that happen?
What happened?
I don?t know.
In Teng Yuan Hao?s dish,
Japanese-style udon, the noodles are smooth and tender,
and the broth smells fragrant.
The way he dealt with the flour,
the texture he kneaded it to, perfectly demonstrates his skills.
Also, the smoothness and tenderness of the meat is maintained
so the texture is top-notch.
As for your Quick-Fried Shrimp and Eel Noodles...
Look for yourself.
Try it for yourself.
The outside of the fish is as terrible as can be.
The noodles completely lack substance.
Plus, the broth?s basic taste has not been brought completely out.
Not only did you lose,
you lost most terribly.
Your opponent now is only Teng Yuan Hao.
When the competition arrives,
the competitor you?ll be facing
is none other than Da Tian Gang Jian.
He?s a master amongst masters in Asia.
Tell me,
who kneaded the dough?
I did.
Who made the soup?
That was me.
At first, I had you two partner up hoping that you?d
come to a silent agreement and offset each other?s weak points.
But now look at you two.
A strange thing has happened.
Xiu Can is good at kneading dough,
yet he makes the soup.
Zhang Jian is experienced at making soup,
yet he kneads the dough.
You work together like this?
Don?t say it?s because the master you?re facing
is an amateur.
You can have the recipe for success.
I?ve said it many times,
you must use your heart to make noodles, put your feelings into it.
Please don?t put in hatred and jealousy.
Hey.
Bring that cabbage over there.
Before you wanted me to bring over a potato.
Why are you changing your mind again?
Hurry up and slice the potato.
Do you not know the difference between a potato and cabbage?
Move.
Why are you so weird?
Didn?t you ask me to bring you a potato?
Idiot.
If their personalities clash,
couldn?t Zhang Jian-gege just enter the competition on his own?
Why force those two to work together?
Seriously...
Help me scratch, hurry.
What now?
Hurry up, scratch me here.
I can?t let this go.
Are you serious?
Quick, help me scratch.
Do you not understand?
How could Grandpa make me work with this imbecile?
If you don?t, the noodles will break.
I won?t do it!
Hey!
Why are you being like this?
Where are you going?
Hey!
Why did you grab me?
Hold on for a sec.
Do you want to work with me or what?
What are you two doing?
Admitting defeat that fast?
Alright, then I?ll go tell Grandpa that
you two can?t work together.
But you should be clear about this.
This sort of behavior counts as you surrendering
the right to compete with Teng Shi Noodle.
Is there anything else?
If not, I?ll go ahead.
Hey!
What?
I know what you?re doing.
But I never said I wanted to give up.
This competition determines Hang Zhou Noodle?s future.
How can we just give up like that?
So I misunderstood?
Then why are you two wearing such long faces?
I understand
you both want to show off yourselves.
But do you know what flavor the customer will taste
with you behaving like this?
It?s the flavor of wanting to fight,
not your sincerity in making noodles for the customers.
We
really are being swayed by our feelings.
I?m sorry.
I find my partner a bit stupid.
If we continue on like this,
we?ll run out of time.
Yeah.
To put it objectively,
my level of noodle making isn?t as good as yours.
The problem rests in the cooperation between you two.
That?s the reason you lost.
If both of you
take the time to understand the viewpoint of the other,
you?ll make a breakthrough beyond your imagination.
That?s right, Ge Ge, keep trying.
I?ll definitely be supporting you.
I?ll also give you, Jiang Xiu Can,
a little tiny bit of support.
What exactly is going on?
You actually went as far to say this.
Alright, thank you both.
But Teng Yuan Hao,
I never expected you?d be so talented.
Right, I never knew.
You actually aren?t a 100% idiot.
C?mere, c?mere.
That?s because you?re blind.
Then, how about you guys join in too?
Let?s make some together. How about it?
Although I don?t agree with how my father does things,
I can?t be his enemy.
Please understand this.
Indeed, nothing we can do about that.
That?s too bad.
You?re a big help.
Sorry.
What should the rest of us make?
Next,
you two work hard together
and come to a mutual agreement.
If Grandpa sees that,
he?ll be really happy.
Go for it.
Go for it!
Let?s go, let them practice.
Alright, let?s go.
I?ll say some stuff to Ge Ge.
Let?s go!
Let?s go.
I don?t want to!
Let?s go!
Let go of me!
Let?s go!
Let go of me!
The flavor?s gotten a bit better.
How?s it gotten better?
Compared to what the competition requires,
it?s a thousand miles behind.
Still,
compared to what we made before,
it?s gotten a lot better.
You sure are optimistic.
It?s not early.
Do you have any plans?
Me?
Of course I want to
practice hard.
Full of nonsense.
Can?t you talk with some sense?
Never talks plainly.
Actually I
want to change my personality,
but there?s nothing I can do about my inborn talents.
This time with our team-up,
I really do feel our personalities are exactly opposite.
But if we can take our strong points
and play them to our full advantage,
if we mend each other?s weak points,
we might become the best partners ever.
That?s what I think at least.
Then do you think
Grandpa also thinks this way?
So that?s why he paired us up.
That makes it sound like you understand Grandpa better than me.
It?s a fact that I do understand him.
I?m telling you,
no one gets Grandpa better than me.
Alright.
What are we doing?
Don?t always insist on being right.
Enough, stop wasting your breath.
Put your effort into practicing.
I?m leaving.
Practice diligently.
Okay.
That guy seems to be warming up.
Just like these noodles.
What?s wrong?
Do you feel sick?
It?s nothing.
I?m thinking about the noodle shop.
Everything happened so suddenly.
You...
Don?t tire yourself out, okay?
You eat rice one bite at a time.
Alright, turn in early.
? Oh love is blue
Alright.
? I hear your heart beating
Xiu Can.
Okay.
Hold on, hold on.
? I can dream with you
? I?ll protect your heart
They?re working well together now.
They understand each other.
I?ll leave it here.
? Even if the way?s remote
Okay.
? Our ending won?t change
Oh yeah, also that?
? Bravely keep walking
I know, hold on a second.
? Hurry towards a beautiful life
They really do seem to understand each other now.
I also didn?t expect they?d work together so smoothly.
I thought it?d be difficult at first.
Now, Grandpa can relax.
Alright, switch with me.
I?ll get it.
It feels like they?ve always been working together.
Okay.
Okay, Xiu Can.
Get that...
Sure thing.
Grandpa.
What do you think?
Grandpa.
Try our Quick-Fried Shrimp and Eel Noodles.
Not bad.
Looks like you?ve passed the test.
You can mutually cooperate.
Passed?
But you haven?t even tried it yet, Grandpa.
Judging a bowl of noodles
doesn?t always require using the tongue.
Sometimes, all you need are your eyes to see,
your ears to hear, your heart to sense
in order to judge the quality of the noodles.
I see your display now.
I trust the bowl of noodles you made are definitely amazing.
Congratulations, you finally did it.
Hold on, hold on.
Did we really pass today?
You punk. We passed!
Really?
Don?t get too happy too early.
There?s still time.
You?re still miles away from Da Tian?s level.
So these next few days you need to double your efforts
for the customers.
We have to win the final battle.
Are we confident?
Yes!
Okay.
? Hurry towards a beautiful life
Mom,
Dad,
I?m going to enter a competition today.
It?s going to be brutal,
but I believe I can win.
I hope you?ll be with me.
With Mom and Dad?s protection,
I?ll be even more confident.
Please watch over me.
Please.
Teng Yuan Hao,
no matter which side you stand on today,
we
will still be friends.
Understand?
Uncle said
he?ll bring the best ingredients today.
He will?
He?s going to help us today too.
Xiu Can.
Are you still mad at him?
Mad about what?
The problem with the ingredients before.
That?s all in the past.
Why would I hold a grudge about it?
I didn?t suffer any losses.
I?m not that petty.
I don?t remember things like that.
I only keep in my mind maintaining the peace
and the poor children?s plight.
I have no mind for those other small matters.
I, Xiu Can, am a very kind-hearted person.
He?s here.
Stop!
Hello.
Uncle.
You?re both here.
Let?s quickly unload this stuff.
Okay.
Today is the big day of your competition.
I brought you the highest grade products.
Right, right.
I also brought a lot of bags of the best flour.
It?s the Yuan Xiang Dao brand.
The texture of the flour is especially good.
It?s fragrant and soft.
You?ll know when you try it.
You?re the best, Uncle.
Hurry up.
My pleasure, my pleasure.
Unload.
What?s that?
Take a look.
Look.
Your uncle can sure deliver.
Don?t say that.
Move it inside.
Hold on!
Zhang Jian.
The competition today is no small matter.
The ingredients must have no issues.
Have you checked them all?
I?ll take a look.
Zhang Jian.
The competition today is no small matter.
The ingredients must have no issues.
Have you checked them all?
I?ll take a look.
The shrimp shell is blue.
The head and body are linked together nicely.
Not bad.
What about the eel?
The eel?s in there.
A dark gray color.
It has two large black and brown spots.
From the color, it is top-grade eel.
The competition today is so important,
of course I?d give you the best ingredients.
Relax.
Qiang-ge, thank you.
Let?s write off what happened in the past.
I hope you?ll continue to give your support to Hang Zhou Noodle.
Of course, of course I will.
Thank you.
I also want to ask you all
to continue to support my business in the future.
Of course.
I?ll be leaving then.
Sir,
come watch the competition, will you?
We?ll definitely use the ingredients you gave us
to get first place.
I?m busy this afternoon.
I have to leave.
Uncle, come with us!
I really am busy.
How about this?
I?ll cheer you on right here.
You?ll succeed! Go for it!
I?ll be leaving now.
Bye, Uncle.
Go for it!
Good luck.
I?m off.
Good luck!
Mr Teng Yuan,
I?ve done everything you told me to.
You don?t have to worry about anything.
Don?t worry about a thing.
They didn?t find out anything.
Why is Qiang-ge together with Teng Yuan Bu Er Xiong?
Today is the competition
between Hang Zhou Noodle and Teng Shi Noodle.
Don?t tell me they...
I?ll be leaving then.
Okay.
Bye.
What should I do?
Hang Zhou Noodle must not know what they?re up to.
This competition is...
Today is the most important day
in Hang Zhou Noodle?s history.
Because today determines the glory of Hang Zhou Noodle
and whether we?ll live or die.
The noodle shop?s golden era has already passed.
Today?s competition will determine what its future will be.
Everyone remember,
the noodle shop is not only where we work.
It belongs to numerous customers as well.
As a result,
we must win today
for the sake of all the customers who support us
and to receive a satisfactory answer.
That?s great.
Alright, good luck.
Good luck.
Dad, we?ll do our best.
We?ll win.
We?ll completely depend on you today.
Bring the noodles!
These are the noodles I woke up early just to make for you.
Grandpa.
How will we eat it with just one chopstick?
I only have one, too.
I understand, Grandpa.
You want us to work together
in order to achieve victory, right?
As the proverb tells us,
?Two brothers who stand together will never break apart.?
Although you two are not related by blood,
you must obtain
the warmness and interlinked relationship of brothers
to confront today?s competition.
You two must remember to tightly grasp that link together on the battlefield.
Then, you can defeat your opponent.
Xiaojian, good luck.
Ge, good luck.
Xiu Can, good luck.
Good luck!
Go for it! Good luck!

They?re here, the chefs are here.
So many reporters.
Jian-ge, they must want to interview you.
You?ll do awesome.
They?re here, they?re here.
Honored guests!
Today is the big competition
between Hang Zhou Noodle and Teng Shi Noodle.
We?ve kept you waiting.
Although Hang Zhou Noodle pales in comparison
to Teng Shi Noodle?s specialized and imposing line-up,
both sides are enthusiastic.
I don?t know if this will bring any advantage.
Let?s wait and see what they?ll bring to the competition.
Come, come here.
Please make way.
They...
What?s that mean? Ignoring us?
Alright, don?t worry.
The Japanese are talented.
I believe they planned this.
I think so too.
Let?s not worry about them.
Let?s just concentrate on ourselves.
But I always thought that bastard talks strangely.
Enough, that?s just how they do battle.
Everyone take caution.
Later on during the competition,
please do not divide your attention.
Concentrate on the competition
and we?ll get results.
Good luck, let?s defeat them.
Let?s do it!
Please make way.
Ge Ge! I?m here, Ge Ge!
Go for it, Zhang Jian!
Ge Ge, over here! Look over here!
Ge Ge, do your best!
Go for it, Ge Ge!
Zhang Jian-gege, you got this!
Go for it, Ge Ge!
I?m depending on you!
You?re the best!
Zhang Jian, you got this!
Ge Ge, you got this!
Zhang Jian, you got this!
Assistant Zhu!
President Wang, what are you doing here?
Today?s Xiu Can?s competition, isn?t it?
I came to cheer them on.
Thank you.
Why is Wang Jin Bao here?
President Wang.
Did you come to cheer us on?
Yes, Chairman Zhang.
I?ll be leaving Hang Zhou in a few days.
Today?s the noodle competition.
I came to give Xiu Can and his team my support.
Thank you.
Here, have a seat.
Thank you, thank you.
So Jiang Xiu Can has an unusual relationship with him.
No matter what you?re scheming,
sooner or later, I?ll set you straight.
Ladies and gentleman!
The drum has sounded.
Let?s point out today?s competitors.
In three minutes,
the competition will begin.
Let?s have our competitors enter.
Okay!
Friends,
next I?ll introduce both sides of the competition.
Standing to my right wearing the blue uniform
are the competitors from Hang Zhou Noodle.
Go for it, Ge Ge!
But the competitors they?re facing today
are the even more amazing, even stronger.
On that side is
Da Tian Gang Jian from Teng Shi Noodle
and his support team!
As everyone knows,
Quick-Fried Shrimp and Eel Noodles
is Hang Zhou Noodle?s specialty.
They know how to make it with their eyes closed.
Today they will definitely
compete using Quick-Fried Shrimp and Eel Noodles.
What dish will Teng Shi Noodle make today?
Teng Shi Noodle?s Japanese food is infamous.
They?re experts in Japanese-style ramen.
But today
they won?t make Japanese-style ramen.
They chose, in line with Hang Zhou Noodle,
to make Quick-Fried Shrimp and Eel Noodles!
Qui... Quick-Fried Shrimp and Eel Noodles?
T-that?s not possible.
Why is it the same?
They?re making Quick-Fried Shrimp and Eel Noodles too?
Dad,
What could Teng Shi Noodle mean by this?
Teng Yuan Bu Er Xiong
wants to use the Hang Zhou Noodle name to defeat us.
This way, they?ll prove
they can not only combine the essence of Chinese cuisine,
they can do so better than us.
What a wonderfully venomous plan.
Father is doing that to kill off Hang Zhou Noodle.
Teng Shi Noodle is unafraid of their opponent!
They chose to make Quick-Fried Shrimp and Eel Noodles as well.
This no doubt makes our competition more of a joy to watch.
Everyone give them a warm round of applause
to thank them for sparking up the competition.
Their momentum?s like a rainbow.
This will surely be an intense battle.
Looks like Teng Shi Noodle is pumped up today.
They?re already holding a safe lead.
This guy
deserves a slap.
Ignore them.
Let?s just do our best.
I say,
is that announcer crazy?
How can he say that?
Seriously...
Makes me speechless.
Too speechless.
Xiu Can!
Yang Wei, what?s going on?
What?s wrong?
Hey.
You?re standing on the wrong side.
Your boss is over there.
You?re not welcome here.
I know I?m not welcome,
but I have something very important to tell you.
I think Teng Shi Noodle is in cahoots with Qiang-ge.
I suspect there?s something wrong with the ingredients.
Yes, sir.
I know I did wrong before,
but you have to trust me.
Let?s go! What are you doing?
Let go! Let go of me!
Acting like this is some show...
Ignore him.
What if they do have issues? What then?
Let?s double-check.
Everyone! I announce
the start of the competition!
Zhang Jian, you got this!
Ge Ge, you got this!
Ge Ge!
Zhang Jian, you got this!
He?s talented, I?ve never seen that before.
So quick.
I can?t keep up.
Don?t get flustered, stay strong.
Zhang Jian, Xiu Can,
please don?t let the other side rile you up.
You must work hard.
Go for it.

Oh no!
What?s with the eels?
What happened?
This issue would only appear when it?s being cooked.
Looks like he planned this out.
They?re intentionally messing with us.
