Miss, sorry we are about to close.
Are the operating hours over?
That means your chef finally has time to see me, right?
He can't, our chef already left.
But can you pay your check, please?
You look so cute, why are you being so realistic?
I am forced to be.
This price really lacks humanity!
- Hello, boss. - Jiaming.
In these times, it's really the villains who get to have success.
Such a popular restaurant has such a cold-hearted boss.
Bullying others for profit, covering the truth.
What use are talent and good looks,
when he is empty on the inside?
From what I can tell, his character is about to be fried
and his soul is about to be marinated in salt.
Restaurants like this are only temporarily popular.
After a while it will close for the greater good!
They only know how to stack up some expensive ingredients.
They don't even know what average Chinese people wish to eat!
Does he think his restaurant is a museum?
How can normal people appreciate it?
A Silver Spoon, using his dad's money to achieve his dreams.
He thinks he is all that,
but he's really not.
Hello? Jiaming?
Hello?
What happened?
Hello?
Taking care of the consequences.
Chef Li, earlier I was talking about my friend.
A... good friend.
I am not your friend yet.
To be frank,
although your restaurant lacks some humanity, it has good taste.
Restaurants with good taste do not welcome tasteless people.
Are you trying to say restaurants rich people open don't welcome poor people?
In the eyes of people like you, being rich means everything, right?
What, coming from abroad?
You clearly are a local rich tyrant.
I'm telling you, if it weren't for the television program, I wouldn't come to find people like you even if I died!
Mr. Li, Miss Song.
What brings you here?
I'm here to thank Mr. Li.
He got me a lawyer for the incident that happened on that day
and explained my situation to the police, asking to lighten the punishment as much as possible.
He helped me receive compensation money for the dismissal incident too.
He also helped me find a new job,
since it won't be soon until I can earn money again.
Miss Song, you really misunderstood Mr. Li that day.
Why, didn't you explain it to me before?
I understand, you can return first.
Thank you Mr. Li.
What's our relationship?
Why should I explain anything to you?
I'm sorry.
I misunderstood you.
About... the television show...
If you weren't forced to,
you would never come beg someone like me.
So, I will not appear on this television show.
I hope you will not appear within my field of vision ever again.
Also, since my restaurant's style does not match yours,
it also isn't a match to serve you.
Who is it?
Who?
Why are you dressed like this?
It's my home, I have the freedom to decide how I dress.
Chef Li, I hope you can overlook our misunderstanding.
Our program is actually really good,
I just need some of your time so I can introduce it to you.
I have no time to waste on you.
Don't you know when to stop?
I can do anything for you.
I am going to shower, can you do that for me?
Then, you can go shower, I'll wait for you here.
You can wait if you want to,
but the program, I'll definitely not attend.
Let's pretend my skin is made of bullet-proof cloth.
There's got to be a way.
How is that!
I cleaned your room for you and changed your sheets.
These are the things I can do for you
and it represents the sincerity of the program team.
First of all, I detest other people touching my things.
Second of all, I detest strangers crossing the line even more.
and no matter what you do for me, I will have no interest in your program.
I'm really sorry!
What's rare about it?
Didn't I just have one look?
You're really magnanimous!
Head Chef Li!
Just you wait. I surely will come back!
Our company currently has four building projects on-going.
We are currently tight on funding.
Your loan credit limit is higher.
Just help a brother with his urgent needs, okay?
Jeez, really so sorry. I also can't help you even if I want to.
Sorry.
Hello.
Husband, Yuxi and I are coming back to Shanghai tomorrow.
We will arrive at the airport by 3:30 pm. Come and get us.
The company is a bit busy lately.
Just take a taxi back home.
After being separated for so long, don't you want to see me and your daughter immediately?
I'm really in a terrible fix lately.
Stop adding to the trouble already, okay?
Hey, I'm hanging up. I need to attend to something.
Chairman Li, I want to ask if I could be absent tomorrow.
My grandmother is coming back tomorrow. Our whole family is going to pick her up.
Do you still need to ask my permission to be absent?
You're saying that Miss Jiang Xiuyun is coming back to the country already?
Yes, her plane will be landing at 3:30 pm.
Don't worry. I will finish all my work first in the morning before going to the airport.
No need. No need.
Chairwoman Jiang Xiuyun of Gooben Corporation, coming back to the country already is huge news in the investment industry.
No need to come to work tomorrow.
Just stay at home and take good care of your grandmother.
Fine then. Thank you, uncle.
I'll go back now.
With Jiang Xiuyun from Gooben here, why must I still beg bank president Liu?
Please.
How come others can come in except me?
Miss Song, our Head Chef has instructed that our restaurant has the right to reject any guest we don't want to entertain.
Don't make it hard on me already.
Treating your customers like this, aren't you afraid that I'll post some bad criticisms about your restaurant?
Head Chef said that you wouldn't dare.
Me?
I really can't dare to do it.
You're really ruthless.
I'm ruthless?
Tell your Head Chef to come see me!
Mister, may I ask what is it that you need?
It's fine for me to spend as much money as needed
as long as the food I eat is delicious.
Yet you folks are just giving me garbage like this to fool me?
Customer, let me serve you another one.
You may leave first.
Sorry, Customer, I'll call our Head Chef to explain anything to you right away.
- Quickly go then. - Alright.
What nonsense is this?!
Miss Song!
Hello, I am the writer and director of the show, 'A Moment of Delicious Flavors', Song Jiaming.
This is my work ID.
If it is convenient for you, I'd like to taste this problematic dish of yours, may I?
Reporter, right? Okay. Okay. Hurry.
Take a picture of this thing.
Mister, for this cream of black truffle soup, did you especially request for more black truffles earlier?
Right.
Truffles are expensive so we should add more.
It is not the ingredients that have gone bad. It's the taste of too many truffles.
They're now too thick that's why it tastes moldy.
Western cuisine is not like a hotpot where you just put in what you want to eat.
The amount of ingredients in Western cuisine must be precisely measured for it to taste good.
It's the fault of their waiters for not explaining this to you. I'll go scold them.
Right...lecture them well. And also, their service attitude.
- Fine. Fine. - Don't be mad anymore. Let's eat.
Miss Song, thank you.
Never thought that you were even half a food expert.
What do you meant by half an expert?
I clearly am a whole expert, okay?
This Li Yuzhe, he didn't even hurry and come out here to thank me for saving his restaurant.
Hey, Miss Song, you cannot go in there!
Sorry, Miss Song. Our Head Chef already left through the back door earlier.
Someone in your restaurant also likes Lucy?
There is. Me.
Everyone quite likes her.
We finally got released.
That's right, mom. So scary.
Brother!
Hey! Yu...
Brother, I just knew it. You always appear at the right time and place.
Oh, my, Yuxi, you no longer care about your mother anymore, right?
- These are so heavy. - Let me. Let me.
My precious son, Mother is back.
I missed you so much.
Really so obedient.
Mom, Yuxi.
No matter how addicted you two are to shopping, you should still leave yourself some leeway.
I know already.
Director Ye!
Hey, Chairman Li, you--
Chairman Li, why are you here?
I am here to express my sincerity toward your grandmother.
For an event like this, it seems better if it were just us around.
Grandma!
Mom!
Grandma! You're finally back!
Let me look at you.
You really have become more beautiful.
- I missed you so much. - I also missed you.
Let's go.
Miss Jiang, hello.
Isn't this Jianguo?
How long since we last saw each other?
What a coincidence.
Are you here at the airport to get someone or to send someone off?
I especially came to welcome you.
Welcome me?
Yilan is currently working in our company.
My precious granddaughter is in your company?
This is my honor.
What's going on here?
The head of a company coming to get the grandmother of his employee?
You are my senior. I should do this much.
So thank you.
Such beautiful flowers.
Too bad, I am allergic to flower pollen though.
Thank you anyway, Chairman Li.
Let us go then.
Mom, I was afraid that it would be cold here in the airport. Put this on.
Shawl?
The color of this shawl seems to be a bit old-fashioned.
Come on, it's fine. It's enough that you have expressed your care.
Don't overthink it.
Hey, isn't that Husband?!
Such beautiful flowers!
Husband, are those flowers for me?
Hand them to me.
Didn't you say that you wouldn't be coming to get me?
So you just wanted to surprise me?
Hey, Dad, you really know how to be romantic.
- Dad. - Huh?
I don't remember you ever coming to get mother and little sister before.
What? No need to do overtime in the company today?
There is always a first time for everything.
You're two are back. It's good that you have safely returned.
Let's go.
- Let's go. Let's go home. - Mom, let's go.
Shanghai, I'm here!
Mom, don't worry.
I surely will find Father.
In Shanghai, there really are so many rich people.
Wallet?
Wal--
Missing?!
- Brother, Mother and I brought a lot this time. - My wallet!
- Look at this. - I lost my stuff!
What's going on? Why is it so messy here?
I lost my stuff!
I lost my wallet. It's gone.
It was still with me when I got off the plane.
What kind of person is that immoral? Stealing from foreigners!
He surely must be a swindler. Can foreigners speak Chinese?
I...
I am not a swindler.
I'm a good person.
I came to Shanghai to look for my father.
If you don't believe m--
If you don't believe me, let me show you the photos.
Swindlers are exactly like this. Look, he even has props.
If he is here today. He surely will still be here tomorrow.
Hey, Husband, let me tell you. Doing good is stocking up on good karma.
Our family doesn't really lack money.
Don't panic.
I'll give you some money.
Forget it. I won't count them anymore.
- Keep this for any urgent needs. - Stop meddling in other people's business.
I really am not a swindler! This--
- Look at these pictures! - I'm not looking anymore. I believe you.
Goodbye! Goodbye! We're going now!
Let's go!
Thank you!
Auntie, you are my angel!
No need to thank me! Goodbye! Goodbye!
Angelic Auntie, goodbye!
Than you! Goodbye!
Shanghai really does have so many rich people.
This is Lucy's latest autographed photo!
- Who wants it? - I do! I do!
Bro, just give it to me.
It's fine. It's fine.
Lucy and I see each other every day. I'll just ask her for more next time.
Hey, right, do you all know why Lucy can still maintain her figure
despite eating a lot every day?
Why?
Because she... didn't really eat anything. All of it was just pretend.
My place is not a gossip tea house.
Head Chef, the show of Song Jiaming actually is a very good one.
Our restaurant can still benefit from some promotions.
After all, an aromatic wine is still afraid of a deep cellar.
A person who really knows how to appreciate the scent of wine can smell it no matter how deep the cellar is.
Stop wasting everyone's time.
Must you really push people away from you?
Not pushing people away,
just you.
Aren't you just angry that I saw you naked?!
Must you--
Even if you won't give me a chance, please at least give me a reason.
First, I am a Head Chef that creates fine cuisines and not some artist that does shows.
Second, what my restaurant does is high-class cuisine.
And your show is totally incompatible with the style of our restaurant.
Thirdly,
you are the endorser of all kinds of trouble.
That's why. Stop disturbing my work.
Is that okay?
First, our show is not some pageant. We introduce different cuisines to people.
Second, you haven't watched our show so don't make rash judgments.
Third, as long as you agree to appear on our show, I guarantee that I will not disturb you again.
Is that okay?!
No way.
A person who doesn't understand cuisines has no right to discuss such topics with me.
How do you know that I don't understand cuisines?
What are you doing?
Whether you know cuisines or not, we will know just by testing it.
Stay here. Don't move.
Don't worry.
It surely has no poison.
It has the three aspects of color, aroma, and taste. The fire intensity and the cooking time are also just right.
So you're not just pretending.
You better get things clear. The one who needs to prove that they're not just pretending is not me. It's you.
This lobster soup is a recipe that I just came up with a few days ago.
If you're able to identify all 10 ingredients in this lobster soup within 24 hours, it'll prove you're a person that knows cuisines.
Then I will reconsider our collaboration.
Fine. It's a deal.
Hey, wait!
You should at least give me one more bowl to taste it.
One also needs some raw material when drawing.
I will provide you with many bowls as you want.
But remember, lobsters are very expensive.
I don't plan to just casually waste them.
No matter how much you drink, please pay for them later.
Yixuan.
Yixuan!
Mom, I still haven't saved it!
Save? What are you saving?
I think you are doing this deliberately.
Playing games every day.
Okay already. Take this.
Didn't your grandma come home today?
Later, bring this gift and go see her.
Grandma is family. Why must I still give her gifts?
So fake.
Say, can you be a bit more sensible?
Don't you know how to amuse her?
Okay already. Just treat it as acting.
Mom, acting is very tiring.
And also, my acting skills are bad. I am unable to focus.
Doing what is not tiring?
Let me tell you. This is ginseng that I especially asked someone to buy.
Later, just say that you bought it yourself.
Whether you can enter the company or not depends on your grandma's mood.
Be good.
And you are not allowed to play games anymore!
Clean up your room.
Boss, we don't have any soup left.
Say...
Then go cook some more.
Wait!
My whole stomach now has been cleansed.
I want to eat some other food.
One that can make me full.
We still have buns left from our employee meal for today.
- Sure! - Not good.
All other food can affect how one's tongue determines taste.
This is also to ensure that you can successfully fulfill this mission of yours.
Miss Song, you won't blame me, right?
I won't.
Boss, after the cleaning service cleaned up your room earlier,
they placed all those ingredients in the stockroom already.
Okay.
Aren't these recipe books?
As if it is some precious rare secret dish.
The electricity stopped?
What you are doing is cheating.
You didn't say that I couldn't use improper means.
I am just... using a round-about method to save the country.
Looks like Miss Song not only lacks the ability,
but even your character is poor.
This gambling bet ends here.
Hey, wait!
Be careful!
Sorry. Sorry.
What's wrong with you? Are you alright?
Stomachache. This is a chronic illness of mine.
It will pass in a while.
Give me your hand.
Are you still afraid that I will take advantage of you?
Before, when my father had stomachaches, he would tell me to press here.
This is connected with the stomach. It's very effective.
Boss, aren't you two being a little too intense?
Go home. Go home.
I'll continue drinking the soup then.
Jiaming, why did you come in here?
Cheating?
Who said that she's cheating?
Actually, I saw that the stockroom was too messy.
That's why I told her to come in here to clean it up.
Then... must I continue to drink it?
No need.
Go back home first.
Just tell me about it tomorrow and let's see if your guesses will be right.
So great!
Master Head Chef, so conscientious.
Whether I have a conscience or not,
we'd better just wait for tomorrow first and see if you can guess them right.
A'Cong.
Where are the buns you spoke of earlier?
Look. This is a massage pillow that I especially bought for you.
It has an automatic memory function. It's very good for cervical spondylosis. (neck pain)
Oh, my, my precious granddaughter, it's still you who is the most filial.
You still remember my chronic illness.
Mother, Yixuan also prepared a gift for you.
Yixuan.
He also graduated from college this year.
He is an adult already too.
He keeps saying that he wants to go to the company to help you.
Really?
You also prepared a gift for me?
- Grandma, some ginseng. - Thank you.
What is this?
This is also a gift?
Yixuan.
This is your gift? Oh, you kid.
Mom, Yixuan isn't usually like this.
He is very obedient.
Right, I know.
This is exquisite, a very good ginseng.
He really is such a good kid.
But you said earlier that he wants to enter the company?
Think for him first.
A child who doesn't follow rules and is very unreliable,
you want him to enter the company? If he enters the company, won't he destroy it?
Am I right? Huh?
How about...
Changhai, I remember that there are lots of rental fees that we still have to collect.
Then let's give him that task then.
Mom! What kind of work is that?
Isn't that too--
If he is unable to handle such a small matter
which is just being able to collect some rental fees,
did you plan to enter Gooben and just be its chairman?
Hurry and go.
Yes, grandma.
Alright already. Just leave it like this.
You two go down the basement and look for that chair.
Yes. We will go now.
Mom, sit here for a while.
Let's go.
I really am very worried.
Worried about that little brother of yours. He grew up to be so tall,
but how come he is so unreliable when handling matters?
Grandma, don't be angry.
Actually, for so many years, Mother also didn't have it easy.
She raised both me and Yixuan and she has always treated me very well.
Lanlan, don't easily trust your mother.
A stomach full of tricks and schemes.
Let me be frank with you.
If not for me considering the fact that she was already pregnant with Yixuan at that time,
could I have let her enter the door of the Ye family home?
Remember.
In this house, only your grandma and your father are your closest family.
You... are you a human or a ghost?!
I am not a beggar. My name is Kunjin, I'm Thai.
You're talking a ghost language! From where did a ghost like you come from?!
I am not a ghost.
What I mean is, 'So sorry'.
Did I scare you?
You did!
Hello.
My name is Kunjin. I came from Thailand.
I came here to Shanghai to look for my father.
If you want to fool people, be more professional.
A Thai like you came here to China, to Shanghai to look for your father?!
My father is from Shanghai.
When I got off the plane today,
my wallet was gone. I lost it.
And then, I got on the wrong ride and ended up here.
I also have spent all of the ¥500 that a goodhearted person gave me.
Right now, I am very hungry.
Can you spare me some food?
I have no time to waste on you!
Don't steal my bed!
Don't take it!
Are you cursing me?!
What curse...
Don't take it...
This is my bed! Don't steal it!
Let go!
- My bed, don't steal it! - What's going on?
Bun?
How did you end up here?
My mother told me
that my father is actually from Shanghai.
His name is A'Guo.
My name is Kunjin.
In Thai, it means 'China'.
Such a good name.
But if you are going to look for your father just using a photograph like this, it will be very hard.
And also, just wandering on the streets like this is also not good.
My mother got sick.
Before she left, she told me to come to Shanghai to look for my father.
At the airport, I lost my wallet.
I lost all my money.
I don't have any place to live.
This kid is so pitiful.
He is not pitiful. You two are the ones that are pitiful.
You're really listening to his nonsense, huh? Huh?
It's all because people like you indulge swindlers like him.
Auntie Wu, I feel that he doesn't look like a swindler.
Exactly, he has a liar's face.
Cold-blooded.
Auntie Wu, how much will you rent a room to him?
At the very least, ¥1,000,
one month deposit and one month in advance.
We will never fold our hands and just watch while someone needs our help.
This is ¥3,000. We are paying the one month deposit and two months in advance.
Sure. If you dare to give it, I will dare to rent it out.
But this does not include water and electricity.
You must not use appliances or gadgets with a high electrical requirement. You are not allowed to use the bathroom.
If you are going to use one, use the public bathroom.
Thank you! Thank you!
You are too open!
Two more stupid people got fooled.
I am too happy! So excited!
- I don't know how to thank you two. - Okay already. No need to thank us.
Eat. Eat.
Jiaming, you are also tired from working all day.
Eat some night snacks.
I cooked soup for you.
I don't want it!
I don't want to drink one more drop of soup in this lifetime.
There is actually a person who dared to make you suffer like that?
That's right!
Isn't he just a guest? He treats himself like an emperor
or some overbearing CEO.
Just looking at his face and I already feel the need to wear a wool jacket.
No matter how good that guest is,
he won't be able to defeat my daughter. Am I right?
Have you already answered his question or not?
I am your daughter!
Will such a question even be hard for me?
I have more or less already guessed those 10 ingredients.
There is just one left that seems to be a kind of spice that I can't identify.
This Li Yuzhe thinks that the whole world must rotate around him.
As if everyone's taste is also like his.
Isn't it just a soup?
Whether it's delicious or not, all of it will just get flushed down the toilet.
Is it really that important if you put a banana or an apple in it?
That's not right anymore.
Soup is the leader among hundreds of tastes.
It can open the sense of taste of a person.
It can even increase the experience of the whole meal.
Each ingredient is very important.
Dad, which side are you really with?
Of course, with my daughter.
Drink some water. Drink some water.
Come.
Come. Come. Sit here.
Let me tell you about basic spice knowledge.
Actually, in China, we've already discovered these spices since Shen Nong (Divine Farmer) tasted hundreds of plants.
Spices not only can protect against sickness and evil.
They can even be added to food.
In our life, there are a lot of things like ginger and pepper
which are considered to be spices.
And the pairing of spices with other food ingredients is also a very particular matter.
For example, if you are going to make a meat dish,
you should put some nutmeg in it.
It can remove the stinky smell of the meat, improve one's appetite,
and can cure diarrhea and vomiting.
If you add a few peppers in it, it can help you cure body coldness.
If you add some fennel,
not only will it help improve digestion, it even has anti-cancer potential.
Each ingredient is very important.
Dad! You really are my lucky star.
I finally have an inspiration.
Here, your reward.
What is it? Your stomach is aching again?
Isn't it true you haven't had an attack for a long time already?
This is an occupational illness of chefs. We don't usually eat on time.
Dad, rest early first.
I'll try to study it further based on what you said.
Okay.
- You also should sleep early. - Okay.
What? Has it started?
Don't know if she will get it right.
Are you sure that you are ready?
Of course.
Start choosing.
The lobster as the main ingredient is surely part of it.
Other than that,
I also tasted lemon, avocado, and potato.
Other than the texture of pureed carrots, there is also the aromatic scent of white grape wine and the richness of butter.
And also the texture of boiled mushrooms and black pepper.
So great.
Boss, she has already chose nine of them.
She surely can win this already, right?
Even if she just chooses the last one incorrectly, all her previous right answers won't count.
