Episode 30 Subtitled by ????~Fensi Subs~
Dad, you?ve recovered.
I?m relieved.
I?ve made you all worry.
By the way,
why didn?t Xiaojian pick me up from the hospital today?
Is he still upset with me?
How could he be?
Xiaojian couldn?t be mad at you.
You?re strict with him for his own good.
Doesn?t he understand that?
He?s just been busy at work lately.
He?s writing up a business plan.
What business plan?
How come I don?t know about it?
Xiaojian will tell you in a few days.
That?s good.
Xiaojian?s talents need to be put to good use.
There?s nothing better than that.
But this steel needs to be sharpened on the edge of a sword,
not on the wrong things.
Relax, Dad.
I?ll pass on your concerns onto Xiaojian.
Here, go inside, have a rest.
Okay.
Da Ma.
You?re stir-frying vegetables.
These aren?t vegetables.
I?m frying tea leaves.
Frying tea leaves?
That?s what you?re doing?
Xiu Can.
You don?t know about this, huh?
Freshly picked tea leaves have a very strong flavor.
Frying them will get rid of some of that strength.
Plus
it will make the leaves more fragrant.
This is the first step in making tea.
Oh, I see.
How do you fry them?
Is it...?
No, no, you don?t use anything.
All you use are your two hands.
Your two hands?
Won?t that burn them?
Of course it won?t.
Plus, frying the leaves by hand
is a very traditional craft.
Doing it this way will protect
their freshness and color.
Plus, the flavor of the tea that comes out of this process
will be even more pure.
So that?s why.
That?s right, that?s right.
Because hands are very sensitive,
we can regulate the temperature of the leaves
as quickly as possible.
Is that right?
You sure are a smart kid.
You get it right away.
Actually, I can only make noodles.
When we?re making noodles,
it?s kinda like what you?re doing.
I just depend on my hands
to determine its temperature and dampness.
That is to say, I think
using your hands as a gauge is the most accurate.
I think
whether it?s frying tea leaves or kneading dough,
we must use our heads.
How logical, you got it.
I?d like to ask.
Do you also use machines to fry the tea leaves?
Yeah, we can.
But the flavor of the ones that are fried by machine
are completely different from the ones fried by hand.
You?re right.
Although using machines is convenient,
they?re also quite cold,
whereas hands are warm.
So by only using our warm hands,
we can produce really fresh tea leaves
and very doughy noodles.
I say, Xiu Can, you sure are
someone who always talks shop.
By the way, Mrs Li,
can I give frying the tea a try?
You wanna try?
Sure, come here.
But Mom...
Careful, it?s hot.
It?s fine, it?s fine.
Careful, don?t get burn yourself.
It?s really hot, be careful.
Okay.
Look here.
You?re fine.
Like this?
Recently, there are a lot of young people
who aren?t willing to learn how to fry tea leaves.
They?re afraid of getting hurt.
If they acted more like you,
hand-fried tea leaves wouldn?t be replaced by the machines.
Come here, son.
Give me a hand.
Okay.
If no one learns how to fry tea leaves by hand,
it will be hard to find good tea leaves to drink.
If this logic were applied to the noodle business,
it would be the same.
Dough kneaded by machines will inevitably be
compared with dough kneaded by hand.
Grandpa,
I understand your pain.

Xiaojian.
How?s it going?
Not too good.
Take care of yourself, don?t wear yourself out.
How about you take a break?
How can I do that?
Hang Zhou Noodle is in trouble.
There?s no way I can slack off.
Right now,
I must put forth my utmost effort
to make a good business plan.
(Text: Responsibilities of Each Department Human Resources: 1. [so much text])
I know that
Grandpa doesn?t think
I?m good at making noodles.
To tell the truth,
I?m a little unconvinced.
So this time I must do a good job.
I must make him see
I have talents on the business side.
Your grandpa?s prejudiced against you.
That?s why I can?t relax for a second
when making this business plan.
I want to prove to Grandpa that
only I
am suited to be Hang Zhou Noodle?s successor.
Only I am Hang Zhou Noodle?s golden ticket.
I can?t let Xiaojian know about
me getting into contact with Teng Yuan Bu?Er?Xiong.
He?s working so hard.
He?ll never accept it.
Xiaojian,
with your determination and courage,
there?s nothing you can?t accomplish.
You keep working.
I?ll prepare you a snack.
You?ve worked hard.
Hey, Xiu Can.
You look so cool frying the tea leaves.
I?ve also found when your frying them,
you follow a certain rhythm.
So cool.
To fry tea leaves,
you don?t use your hands,
you use your heart.
Ah, so you also put your heart into frying the tea leaves.
Right.
That way their true flavor will emerge.
You really are cool.
Here.
Smell.
Smell?
Smells good, huh?
It really does.
Xiu Can.
When you return to the city,
give today?s fresh tea leaves to Mr Zhang.
Thanks so much.
You?re so thoughtful to
give my grandpa some tea leaves.
Thank you so much.
We?re old friends.
No need to be so polite.
Thanks.
It?s the same feeling as staying over at a friend?s house.
I really want to stay here.
Xiu Can.
Stay longer then.
I don?t want you to leave either.
Right, stay longer.
Can I really?
Then I?ll
stay a few more days.
I still have a lot of places I want to see.
I?ll take you to them.
That okay? I?ll take you up the mountain.
It?s fine, don?t be modest.
That?s okay.
I?ve already troubled you enough.
I can go by myself in a bit.
I don?t want to impose.
I?m sorry.
Sorry.
Hello? Ling Ling.
Xiu Can.
When are you coming back?
I...
I might not be back for a few more days.
Actually I really want to come over there and check it out.
You do?
That?s great.
Come over soon as you have time.
I don?t have time though.
Take care of yourself, you hear me?
Eke out some time.
When do you have time?
What day? How long?
Today? Tomorrow?
In the morning? At night?
Jiang Xiu Can!
Eke out some time.
When do you have time?
What day? How long?
Today? Tomorrow?
In the morning? At night?
Jiang Xiu Can!
Ling Ling!
What are you doing here?
And you said you have no girlfriend.
She found where you?re staying.
Xiu Can.
Your girlfriend?s here.
I won?t accompany you anymore.
That?s not it...
Look at that.
Alright, alright.
You guys go for a walk.
Actually, she?s...
Go on.
Ling Ling, I?ll show you around.
Look, isn?t it pretty?
I wasn?t lying.
It?s great here!
Yeah.
I?m so happy you?re here.
I?d never even dream you?d come here.
You talked up this place so much when you called.
It?d be a pity if I couldn?t come.
Right? You like it?
Look, it?s beautiful here.
I picked tea leaves here.
You! Come back.
Hey!
Wait for me.
Why are you walking so fast?
Slow down.
Why are there so many paper cranes?
It?s called a ?Wish Tree.?
You don?t have any in Korea?
Nope.
We may not have any Wish Trees in Korea,
but we do have the adorable Jiang Xiu Can.
But
why put paper cranes in a tree?
I bet even you don?t know that one.
Alright.
I?ll tell you.
In China,
we write our wishes down
and hang them from a tree
in hopes that they?ll come true.
Can the wishes come true?
Faith will find a way.
Hurry up.
Okay.
Turn around.
No peeking.
It tickles.
It will only take a second, hold on.
My writing?s all crooked.
Are you done? Ready?
Okay.
Want to fold it up?
What did you write?
Hurry up and fold it.
Don?t move so slow,
else you?ll get a penalty.
Like this?
Open it like this.
Look, it?s ready.
I?m already done.
I?ll be done soon.
Hold on. Okay.
Alright, let?s do it.
Look, look.
Hang it here.
Okay.
Higher, higher.
The higher it is, the more it might come true.
Really? Okay.
Alright.
It got so high.
Here, make a wish, come on.
I hope Xiu Can?s wish comes true.
It?s finally lunch time, I?m starved.
Yeah.
Baby, whoever cut this eggplant...
If I had cut it, it?d be a hundred times better.
Assistant Zhu.
I have something to tell you.
Go ahead.
Have a seat.
Dong Dong.
Here.
Dong Dong.
Let?s look for something else to eat.
Let?s go.
Okay.
Enjoy your meal.
It?s like this.
I?ve been thinking
about turning Hang Zhou Noodle into a franchise.
A franchise?
You want to turn Hang Zhou Noodle into a franchise?
Have you told Grandpa?
Not yet.
But this matter
concerns the future of Hang Zhou Noodle.
We can?t keep going on like this.
In this way,
the noodle shop is on a downward slope.
But what Grandpa puts most emphasis on
is giving your all for the customer.
If we turn into a franchised restaurant,
we might lose Hang Zhou Noodle?s essential flavor.
Grandpa will never agree to it.
I?m also worried about that.
But Grandpa?s getting older, after all.
A lot of his ideas
don?t fit into the modern era.
Plus, you?re my employee.
Shouldn?t you be supporting me?
I...
I?ll support you.
Ge Ge, I?ll do anything I can to help you.
I?ve already been impatient.
I?m also impatient.
What are you impatient about?
Impatient for you to get back to work.
I know I have to work.
What do I know besides working?
The noodle shop is all about working.
Take it.
Seriously... Ge Ge,
if we franchise, let me be a head manager.
If I become a head manager,
then you?re dead-meat.
Do what you will.
Are you two done yet?
If you?re finished with lunch, then get back to work.
Ge Ge, Ge Ge!
A franchised business operates on four trademark systems :
Goods, services,
operation, and management.
These four points contain its basic premise.
The business runs under tight operations.
As for funding,
franchises have fast turnover rates.
In regards to a noodle restaurant chain,
if we look at it from a financial viewpoint,
in the first quarter
profits will increase by 21.5%.
At the end of the second quarter,
they will increase by 30.6%.
And by the fourth quarter,
compared to previous years,
they will have raised by 56.78%.
The returns will be much greater
when we compare them to a traditionally-run restaurant.
It?s possible our gains will increase by 31.6%.
Therefore, if Hang Zhou Noodle becomes a franchise,
I trust it will bring about greater economic benefits
for our noodle shop.
Xiaojian.
You?ve been very thorough.
Dad,
what do you think?
I?d still like to ask.
Xiaojian.
How accepting are customers
toward the idea of franchising?
You didn?t calculate that into your plan.
Dad!
Dad.
I think Xiaojian was very thorough and very detailed in his report,
if you look closely enough.
Yes.
I?m not saying food from restaurant chains doesn?t taste good.
I?m saying this is a system centered around industrialization.
It offers nothing new
and doesn?t have a unique flow.
To put it simply,
there are no emotions in it.
This is precisely what defeats the purpose
of Hang Zhou Noodle?s current traditional ideals.
That?s why I say
making money is one thing,
but Hang Zhou Noodle can?t lose our ideals
and our tradition.
Xiaojian.
Don?t be too hasty about this franchising idea.
In my opinion,
we should rethink it.
It?s okay, don?t be upset.
I support you.
Morning.
Zhang Jian.
I heard that yesterday you talked with Grandpa about franchising.
Yeah.
How did it go?
I don?t want to talk about it.
Actually,
I understand what Grandpa?s thinking.
I don?t get it at all.
Everything I do is for the good of Hang Zhou Noodle.
Think about it. We?re in a time of change.
Competition is fierce.
The noodle shop needs to change.
If we don?t follow the times,
what if the day comes
when we crumble as a result?
I don?t think
following the trends guarantees we won?t crumble.
After franchising,
I?ll definitely become a head manager.
So you?d best treat me better.
You?d use power to retaliate?
What?d you say?
You? seriously...
Ge Ge!
Ge Ge! When are our chain branches opening?
Yu Ting-jiejie,
when will you become a head manager?
Wait for me!
Dad.
Ever since Mom passed away,
I?ve followed your way of life.
You?re our biggest moral support.
Hang Zhou Noodle got to where it is today
largely due to your contribution.
Kid...
You?re laying it on thick.
You have something to say, then say it.
Dad, I won?t hide it from you.
Lately Hang Zhou Noodle?s business
has indeed been on the down and out.
I?m very worried.
I don?t know when the noodle shop
will be able to emerge from these difficulties.
The traditional business ideals that you uphold
have their own logic to them,
and this logic did work in the past,
but I just don?t know
if it can survive in the current circumstances.
Get to the point.
This is how I see it.
Everything you did for the noodle shop in the past
has already left a favorable impression on consumers
in the current market.
These are gained riches.
Riches that we shouldn?t abandon.
Not only that, they are riches we should treat well.
What you mean by ?treating well?
is using it for your own purposes, right?
Lately I
have been researching Teng Shi Noodle and how it runs its business.
Its way of using propaganda,
its sales, etc.,
in truth, there are many things worthy of our attention.
As I said before,
our noodle shop?s positive public image
and name brand are our riches.
If we use them with reason,
you could say we... when we franchise our business,
they will be a help.
It can make our name brand even stronger.
You?re also trying to convince me.
Dad, I?m just proposing ideas.
Besides,
yesterday while I listened to Xiaojian?s presentation,
I thought he made a lot of good points.
Okay.
I have two questions for you.
How much do you understand the customers appetite,
and how much do you understand the customer?s heart?
Dad.
You can?t answer that either, huh?
Zhang Lin.
Why don?t you understand?
I?m not against the idea of a restaurant chain,
I?m against Hang Zhou Noodle going that route!
Dad.
Can?t you think of Xiaojian?
He?s our family here.
You?
Your hearts are missing something big.
You never look outside the family?s interests,
outside your own likes and dislikes,
outside your own little clique!
If you keep going on like this,
you?ll...
How can you face the customers at Hang Zhou Noodle?
How can we add another building!?
Tell me?
Dad.
Dad!
Dad, what?s wrong?
Is Dad not fully recovered?
He?s okay.
He just got too excited.
It?s okay if we don?t open chain branches,
it?s not good if he blows a gasket over this matter.
Nothing can happen to Dad.
If something were to suddenly happen,
what would we do?
Dad?s just getting older.
Of course he?d have some health issues.
But I believe
nothing will happen.
Don?t worry.
Zhang Lin.
Has Dad talked to you about the secret recipe?
The secret recipe?
He?s never brought it up.
The secret recipe is what?s most important.
Dad wouldn?t give it to someone else, would he?
I feel like he?s been acting a little out of character lately.
Don?t say that.
Dad
must have his own plans.
Don?t think too much about it.
Dad.
No matter what happens,
Grandpa will consider his own family, right?
Of course he will.
You?re Grandpa?s grandson.
Your father?s son.
How can a family member turn outside?
That?s what they say.
But Dad?s heart
is made of steel.
Who he?s partial to
might be beyond our control.
Alright.
Let?s eat.
What?s wrong, Grandpa?
It?s nothing.
When you get older,
it?s hard to avoid
things you don?t like.
But I just
heard what?s troubling you from the sound of your music.
Ling Ling.
You?ve made a lot of progress in understanding music.
Grandpa.
Are you worried about the noodle shop?
If I were worried about that,
that would mean
I was worried about the people inside the noodle shop.
You mean Zhang Jian.
Xiaojian is my grandson.
I always thought I?d give the noodle shop over to him.
But his behavior is getting far away from my way of life.
I can?t...
Grandpa, relax.
Everything will be okay.
I?ll pour you some tea.
Hello, Grandpa!
Xiu Can!
Careful, Grandpa.
Careful now, careful.
You?re back, Xiu Can.
Reporting to Grandpa :
The task you gave me
has been smoothly completed!
Look at you.
All suntanned.
I know!
I get tanned so quickly.
Look.
My arm used to be so pale,
now it?s all dark.
What am I going to do?
This is called,
?Putting yourself in the farmer?s shoes.?
You really are something!
You put on some pounds.
You?re the one who gained weight.
Still, you look nice.
Look at you, acting like you?re back from Africa.
You?re so tan.
Have a seat.
Xiu Can.
I have a very important thing for you to take care of.
You really have gotten chubby.
Shut up.
Okay, you won?t admit it.
Shut your mouth.
It?s true.
It?s this.
A key to this room.
You hold onto it.
T-this...
Such an important thing...
Grandpa, how could I...
It?s because it?s important
that I?ve given it to you.
To someone worthy of my trust.
Xiu Can,
although you weren?t born into the Zhang family
and we aren?t related by blood,
how you make noodles
and the principles you have
are very similar to my own.
That?s why I trust you so much.
Oh right,
I also want to tell you two that
my sense of taste
has already completely disappeared.
Grandpa, you...
Don?t be sad for me.
Xiu Can.
As people,
we must have the courage to face...
the courage to face reality.
That?s what a courageous person does.
Old people have a tendency to be long winded.
Why am I saying this?
Come, look at those plants with me.
Look.
These green plants,
they are all alive.
They are all reflecting the energy of life.
They?ll follow the seasons and transform again and again.
Following the changing seasons,
they?ll vary
and have new shapes and colors.
We?ve been together a long time.
I understand when they speak.
Listen to what they?re saying.
You must imagine
their fresh scent.
Before anything else, you must respect them.
Grasp the rules they follow to grow.
Then they can
grow up in different seasons
and produce different scents.
Good thing we found them.
They let us turn them into ingredients.
These plants are our Hang Zhou Noodle?s secret.
Xiu Can,
you stayed in the countryside for a few days.
I trust you can understand what I just said.
Yes, Grandpa.
Some people
say Hang Zhou Noodle has secret treasures.
They?ve all guessed incorrectly.
Yes.
This time I felt it when I went to the countryside.
The flavor that makes up Hang Zhou Noodle
is the flavor of life
as well as the flavor of nature.
I learnt my lesson well.
Thank you, Grandpa.
That?s right.
It?s the flavor of nature.
If some people say Hang Zhou Noodle
has secret treasures,
then those treasures are hidden in our hearts.
Our hearts can feel nature
and feel how everything on Earth grows.
What a wonderful talent this is.
Unfortunately,
some people waste it.
Their hearts
spend their days calculating
how to get personal gain.
Their hearts are full of themselves. There?s no space for anyone else.
If Hang Zhou Noodle loses its greatest treasure,
which is having a generous character,
then we will become small and weak people!
Tell me?
Grandpa.
Grandpa! What?s wrong?
Grandpa!
What?s wrong, Grandpa?
Are you okay, Grandpa?
Grandpa.
Don?t scare me.
What?s wrong?
How is he?
The patient is unstable due to excessive stress,
making his illness even worse.
He needs to rest for some time.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, doctor.
Yes.
Grandpa?s gotten older
and his health is getting worse.
I?m really worried about him.
What should we do?
Dad.
Chairman.
Grandpa.
Is he all right?
Grandpa?s blood pressure suddenly dropped.
We just brought him here.
The doctor says he needs to rest.
What are you doing here?
Who let you come?
Xiu Can and I brought Grandpa here together.
You two are in on this together.
You?re the ones who made Grandpa this way.
Enough, enough.
Did Grandpa faint in the research room?
Did he say anything before he fainted?
It?s like this.
Before Grandpa fainted,
he gave the research room?s key to me.
Why would Grandpa give the research room?s key to you?
Hand it over.
What right do you have to that key?
Hand it over right now!
That?s enough!
Dad?s still lying on the bed.
Jiang Xiu Can,
no matter what Grandpa told you or did,
we have no right to interfere.
But as long as it?s related to the noodle shop,
you must handle it carefully.
Yes, sir.
I know.
What are you still doing here?
You can leave now that we?re here.
Come on.
Dad.
I trust Grandpa will be okay.
Grandpa will get better.
Don?t worry.
Grandpa?s in good health.
There?s no way something?d happen to him.
Jiang Xiu Can!
Haven?t you done enough?
Fooling Grandpa into giving you his research room?s key.
I did not.
You dare say that?
Like I said, I didn?t do that.
You?
Zhang Jian!
Stop it.
You shut up.
Zhu Ling Ling,
I?m so disappointed in you.
You worked together with Jiang Xiu Can to fool Grandpa.
I?
Grandpa?s given the secret recipe to Jiang Xiu Can
and overruled my idea to franchise.
Now the research room?s key has been given to you.
If you two hadn?t been wreaking havoc,
why would Grandpa do something like that?
Zhang Jian, you?re over thinking this.
It?s okay if you come at me,
but this has nothing to do with Ling Ling.
Fine.
I?ll talk about what happened to us.
Since this is the case,
did Grandpa give the secret soup ingredient to you?
You want to know that bad?
Then I?ll tell you.
It might not be the answer you want.
What?
Grandpa was absolutely right.
Yes.
You?ve put your heart in the wrong place.
In order to get what you want,
you?ll do whatever you have to.
You?ll use any means possible.
You don?t think by doing that
Grandpa will be disappointed?
You!
Zhang Jian!
Why have you become this way?
Xiu Can, let?s go.
There?s no reason to talk with someone who?s lost his reason.
Come on.
Are you okay?
I?m fine.
Are you all right?
You?
E.T.
Goodnight.
Ling Ling!
See you later.
Why is Hu Zhen acting this way?
The Hu Zhen I remember shouldn?t be this detached,
this selfish.
All of this
really makes my head hurt.
If Mom saw how I was acting from Heaven,
it would definitely upset her.
This way please.
Please.
Sit wherever you?d like.
Please leave us.
Yes, sir.
Wu Run Mei.
Asking you out sure isn?t easy.
The ¥10,000,000 I want,
you must have prepared it, right?
Wang Jin Bao.
I?ve been raising money,
but you also know
that amount of money...
in reality I?m?
Enough, Wu Run Mei.
Can you do anything other than make excuses?
I really don?t have that much money.
After all, I?m just someone who married into the Zhang family.
How can I transfer so much of the Zhangs money?
Understand my position, will you?
Me? Understand your position?
Then who will understand mine?
