[Delicious Destiny]
[Episode 5]
Xiaohan, can you make them stop collaborating?
The contract has been signed. It's impossible to change to another person anymore.
I just feel that with Yuzhe's identity, it's not suitable for him to do culinary shows.
People in the TV industry are a bit...
I am not talking about you.
Let's eat.
Boss, we're going now. You should also go home early.
Three days?! Even if you ask me to not eat, drink, brush my teeth, wash my face,
or not do anything else, I still won't be able to finish in time.
- You go first. I'll just stay for a bit more. - Okay.
Subtitles and Timing by the Delicious Destiny Team @ Viki
Didn't I set a 10-minute alarm?
How come I slept for such a long time after turning it off?
I have to already submit a proposal tomorrow. If you sleep again, I'm going to hit your face until it swells.
Hello.
Hello, Yuzhe. Are you not in the restaurant?
I have a gift to give you but A'Cong said that you were not around.
Oh, I came to see the show team to have a planning meeting.
I'll just see you later.
Is it a planning meeting for Song Jiaming's show?
Is Zhao Han around?
Right. Right. It's exactly that one.
I...
I can't talk anymore. We're going to start the meeting.
- Didn't sleep all night? - If I don't stay awake all night, how can I finish all those documents?
Didn't I send a translations file afterwards? Did you not read it?
Thank you. I could have finished before 4 a.m. But after receiving your email, I had to study it again until 6 a.m.
Good then. Let me check the result of your all-nighter.
If it is not passable, I won't work with you.
Marseilles Fish Soup is the first dish that all students studying in Le Cordon Bleu must learn to make.
It is also the most classical, most common, and a dish that can best show the skills of a chef.
From the nobility to the commoners, all of them love it. The essentials of this dish is this,
letting common ingredients produce the greatest taste after exquisite cooking.
Then let us make our theme for this episode about making a precise version of common dishes
and initially introduce the Marseilles Fish Soup.
- You pass. - What do you mean?
- Passing and not perfect score? - Perfect!
Yuzhe's passing grade is a perfect score. Jiaming, so great. The theme for this episode is set as such.
Good.
Okay. Next, let me explain to everyone the concept of our shoot.
The initial idea of the director is to set this shoot beside a scenic lake.
Perfectly merging outdoor lighting and the freshness, artistic beauty,
and uniqueness of ingredients.
That's why, the shoot we are having this time is very different from what we used to do. We usually film indoors.
This time, we are going to use the method of using multiple cameras at different angles
to get more general views and far shots to show the natural environment around.
Okay. On the day we do the shoot, we might be sending around 12 vans.
Xiaowang will be taking care of this matter. And then, on the day we will be buying the ingredients, we must make sure
on which market we are going to buy them. We must ensure that the ingredients are fresh.
- And also-- - Song Jiaming, wake up!
If you are unable to finish the mission given by that maniac Li Yuzhe, you're dead! Song Jiaming, wake up!
If you are unable to finish the mission given by that maniac Li Yuzhe, you're dead!
Sorry, boss. Sister Jiaming hasn't slept for days just to finish this proposal.
I know already. Don't disturb her. Let her sleep for a while.
I'll just take her home later once she wakes up. Meeting adjourned.
Hey, whose office here has a sofa?
I have one.
If she sleeps here, she'll develop stiff neck. By then,
I don't want to have a host with curved neck standing beside me. Understand?
You might wake her up like that.
How could she be awakened so easily? Look at her, sleeping like a piglet.
The office is here.
Yilan?! Why are you--
I'll go look for a pillow for Sister Jiaming.
- Why are you here? - I knew that your show will get successfully approved
so I brought you a gift.
Yuzhe, look. This is a 1994 Great Vintage.
Do you still remember 1994? It is the year when we just met.
A red wine by Great Vintage?
You must have spent a lot of effort just to find this.
Just a little thing. How about this?
On the day of your shoot, I'll bring this wine and visit you.
At the same, let's celebrate. How about it?
Okay.
Thank you, Yilan. I've troubled you.
- Dad, good morning. - Good morning.
- Let me discuss something with you. - Okay.
Can I borrow your car tonight?
What are you planning to do again?
Of course, it's serious business. I have an important gathering tonight.
Gathering?
Then no. You can't avoid drinking alcohol during gatherings. If you drink, you can't drive.
It's better that you get a cab, I'll be more at ease.
- Daddy... - Yixuan, listen to your dad. - Good morning!
- Mom, good morning. - Mom. - Sit, mom.
Mom, taste these fried buns.
I fell in line very early in the morning just to buy these. I heard that the fried buns here are very delicious.
It's fried buns again.
With so many delicious food here in Shanghai, don't you know to buy something else.
Mom, then just tell me what you want to eat. I'll buy them tomorrow morning.
If grandma won't eat them, I'll eat them.
Mom, I have also rearranged the furniture based on your instructions.
Take a look at them. If you are dissatisfied with anything, we can just change them.
I am not satisfied.
I don't feel comfortable at all. It's true.
Lihua, I really don't understand for these many years that I was abroad and you were left here at home to manage the house.
How did you manage it? And also you, Yixuan.
Stop focusing on eating.
You are already this old yet you are unable to do a simple thing as collecting rent.
You think I didn't hear what you said earlier? I did.
You are pestering your father to drive his car. Why are you driving his car?
To go on a joyride? To trick the daughter of some family?
How come I became the topic again? Grandma, I am full. Please enjoy your meal.
Mom, then eat some congee. Congees are clearer and lighter.
Congee and fried buns, I don't like to any of them.
What is wrong with mother?
Changhai, I didn't do anything wrong. Right?
It's also not your fault. Mom is in a bad mood these past days.
She wanted to buy back that old Western-style house that we used to live in.
The new owner of that house has opened a fried bun shop there.
He said that he isn't willing to sell the place regardless of the price.
No wonder it's as if she saw a bomb when I mentioned fried buns earlier.
Okay already. From now on, don't mention the old house
or anything related to it. So she won't get annoyed.
I heard that you guys will be going to the city outskirts to shoot this time and will even be gone for 2 days.
What? Can't bear to part with me for just 2 days?
I can't bear even for a day.
But I'll take this opportunity while you're not at home to clean up your room.
Once you return, you'll live more comfortably.
- Have to trouble you. - It's no trouble! - I'll take you to check the lighting and cameras over there. You must tell them to prepare them well. They must not be late.
Sister Jiaming, we're already ready.
- Okay. - Fighting! - Fighting!
Sister Jiaming, you really are so pretty today.
How come there is a big hole here?
What should we do? I didn't bring any extra stockings.
It's fine. Audiences won't really mind such details.
How can that be allowed? You don't know how powerful the blogs are now.
With just a minor blemish like that, you can already be criticized so badly.
If we trend just because of this matter, how then can I still continue working in the TV industry?
Jeez, you can say it this way. Stockings with holes are what's in trend this year.
How can that be possible? The audience surely won't accept this.
How about I just remove them and not wear one?
Forget it. I'll help you look for another one.
Oh, my...
Thank you.
You are...
Oh! That person who saved us when we got trapped in that frozen truck.
Yes, hello, my name is Ye Yilan. I am a good friend of Yuzhe that grew up with him.
Hello.
Thank you!
You're welcome. I frequently go to business trips and will encounter such situations.
That's why, I will usually put a few pairs in my bag for emergency. Good thing, it became useful this time.
Actually, I also plan to help Yuzhe out that's why I came today to check on his shoot.
He is a perfectionist. He cares about details a lot.
That's why, you must not give him any chance to criticize.
He indeed is very hypercritical.
How come you know him this well?
We are childhood friends. We grew up together.
Later on, he went to France to study.
I would fly to France every weekend to be with him.
Everything about him, his habits and interests, I know them very well.
Could it be that you like him?
I indeed do like him but he still doesn't know it.
You must keep this a secret. I hope to tell it to him in person.
So sorry. Telling you this during our first day of meeting.
It's fine. You helped me today so you are now my friend. How can I refuse a request by my friend?
Thank you. Oh, right. I even brought today
a red wine that was made during the year that we met
to serve as my congratulatory gift. Maybe, after he drinks this wine,
he will already understand my feelings.
Don't worry. I will surely let you two drink this congratulatory wine today.
Thank you.
- Cameraman, are we ready? - We're ready!
- Director, everything is already ready here on the set. - Okay. Start filming.
"A Moment of Delicious Flavors: Head Chef Edition," take 1.
5, 4, 3, 2, action!
Everyone, hello! I am the new host... Song Jiaming.
Cut!
So sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I really didn't mean it.
I don't want to listen to any of your explanations.
Okay. Okay. One more time.
Come. Come. "A Moment of Delicious Flavors: Head Chef Edition,: take 2.
In this episode, we are honored that we were able to invite a head chef from the
Western cuisine world, Mr. Li Yuzhe!
Head Chef Li, what cuisine are you going to bring to our audience today?
This time, I want to teach everyone how to do a Marseilles Fish Soup.
Wow! Marseilles Fish Soup!
It really is so suitable to cook this by the lake. You can enjoy the scent of the Mediterranean Sea coming to your face.
Then look at our fresh ingredients paired with...
such a handsome head chef. We will surely be able to make the number one Marseilles Fish Soup!
Cut! What are you doing? Are you filming a shopping TV show
or portraying a short literary work?
Please, can you make your host bearing be a bit more exaggerated?
Do I need to be more exaggerated? Aren't I already very exaggerated?
I have even used up my energy in drinking milk (gave my all).
Reflect on it well.
Third take, prepare!
Wait. Wait. I keep feeling that something is wrong. Are you the director or me?
As long as we are in the culinary stage, it is, of course, the head chef who has the final say,
not the director. Okay?
Okay. Okay. One more take then.
Okay, one more time. Come, "A Moment of Delicious Flavors: Head Chef Edition," take 3!
- Welcome everyone! Thank you for watching-- - Cut!
- ...in this beautiful scenic place to give everyone-- - Cut!
- You're currently watching-- - Cut! Cut!
- Yuzhe-- - Cut!
- In this dish-- - Cut!
- Fish Soup-- - Cut!
- Welcome everyone to-- - Cut!
- I didn't even speak yet so why are you saying "cut?"
"A Moment of Delicious Flavors:
...Head Chef Edition," take 21.
Now, let us let our Head Chef Li Yuzhe introduce the dish Marseilles Fish Soup to us.
This Marseilles Fish Soup is quite popular and enjoyed by nobility and commoners alike. It is one of the most common classical dishes that the French like to eat.
Next, I will demonstrate to everyone how to make this dish.
First step: We will first put some Italian chives, onions, and mushrooms
into our pan to flavor the soup.
While flavoring the soup, we can then look at our seafood now and other seasoning ingredients.
For example, lemon and sweet potatoes, that simple.
Okay, all the ingredients are now prepared.
Next, what we are going to do is...
Cut!
Head Chef, what is it now?
If we film like this, we won't be able to finish.
Please control the set. With such loud sounds, I can't concentrate in making the dish.
Control? Oh, my god.
This is thunder. How can I control it?
- That who... - Yes?! - Control the thunder for me!
- Okay, I know already! - Just call me once you've controlled it! - Okay!
Sister Jiaming...
Tell him that really are pressed for time.
Okay already.
Head Chef Li, look. Just this scene, we have already shot it 21 times and still didn't pass.
The weather today is not good and we are pressed for time. Say, can you...
just merge some steps and directly go to the next sequence?
What Western cuisines are most particular with is accuracy. No steps can be omitted.
If you omit the steps, how can you let the audience learn?
Could it be that you want them to rely on their imaginations and guesses to complete this Marseilles Fish Soup?
The handling of seafood and the amount of their sauce is a very particular matter.
Even the amount of basil can affect the end taste of the dish. Do you understand it?
We can just add these processes afterwards. Let's just first make do with our current scene.
Later, when I eat it, I will surely pretend that it was really delicious.
I will never make do with any dishes that I make. Since we are filming it,
then seriously film each step. And also,
you should have known about my principles even before we started filming.
Okay, come... Let's start.
"A Moment of Delicious Flavors: Head Chef Edition," take 24.
Next, what everyone should do is slice some carrot. Just like this.
Afterwards...
- Jiaming! - Someone has fallen into the water!
Hurry!
Jiaming!
Good thing, I was able to pick it up.
- Is that very important to you? - Of course, it is.
Didn't you say earlier that even a basil leaf can affect the whole flavor of a dish?
Since I invited you, then I must respect your principles.
Hey.
- There is still a box of basil. - The water is very shallow. Was there a need to do that?
This Baiyang, didn't even tell me that there was still a box of basil.
This ice disaster, after meeting him, no good thing has happened to me.
Drink this. Don't catch a cold.
Health is number one. Drink it already.
Do you still remember what you said?
You hope that one day, your mother can see you on TV.
Let us just film this show well and let your mother see you on TV.
Okay, I'll trust you this time.
Such a thick wine taste.
Of course, this is a 1994 Great Vintage. It's hard to find in the market.
This is a rare commodity.
You even need to bring a red wine when filming a show? Your tone totally reached a whole new level.
I didn't bring that. It was gifted to me by Yilan.
Li Yuzhe, are you crazy?!
This wine was given to you by Yilan! Only you can drink it!
Jeez, even a pig can guess what her intentions are.
Yuzhen already said it that no matter how precious a wine is, it can't be as precious as health.
This wine was supposed to be drank by the two of us.
I never thought that he would warm it for Song Jiaming.
The taste of a 1994 red wine surely must be good.
You are also tired. Go back and rest first.
We will be filming at nighttime, instead.
Open your eyes.
Wow! The new bag by LV!
Am I still old-fashioned?
Totally dashing. You have even taken my heart.
Dashing? That's my nickname.
Although I don't have the money to buy a luxury car, it's still a must to post one to boast to my friends.
Whoa, and I thought it was someone famous.
Wait a minute, darling. I'll just teach her a lesson.
Oh, my lady, did your shoe get damaged?
So it's you, stupid guy! Is there something wrong with your brain?! Why did you hit me?
So it's you, that person who won't pay her rent.
This shoe of mine was imported from Italy. Buy me a new one!
I was driving my car. It has nothing to do with your shoe at all. Pay for your own vanity.
And also, remember to pay your rent and strive hard to earn money. If you still don't pay your rent next time,
the ones who will suffer will not only be your shoes but also your bags.
That's my bag!
Give me back my bag! Carrying my second-hand bag, don't you have any shame?!
Second-hand bag?
That's not true, Darling. Don't listen to that crazy woman's nonsense.
Let me tell you. Think about it well.
If you continue to spat nonsense, I'll send your parents those pictures we took in the bathroom.
- Darling, let's go. - Hey!
Ye Yixuan, just you wait!
It's not that you don't get karma. It's just that the time has not yet come.
Yuxi!
- Let me tell you! Immediately get out of the car! - Pay for my shoes first.
Let me tell you. This is a brand new Porsche sports car. If you dare to scratch it even a little, just prepare to sell your kidney!
Fine. Catch it well. I'll return it to you now.
Hey... what are you doing?! Fine! Fine!
I'll pay your for your shoes, whatever price you want, but not today. Is it okay with you if I pay for it next time?
My shoes are limited edition. You want the car? Exchange it with the repair money!
Hey, Yuxi... Hey! Hey! Yuxi!
The knife skills of Head Chef Li are really very accurate. Every slice
is exactly the same. It's as if there was a robot that was programmed to do this.
Even his expressionless appearance is also like a robot.
It's as if he has no human emotions at all.
This was clearly supposed to be a warm-themed show. How come we seem to be filming some gunpowder instead (intense conflict)?
Just let them be. Just let them act how they want. At most, we will just edit them out afterwards.
But looking at them carefully,
- there still seems to be some flaws. - You're here, Yilan.
Head Chef Li is indeed not perfect.
Jiaming.
- What are you doing? - Slice the onion.
I am the host. I am only tasked to explain things.
I don't care who you are. If you are working in my kitchen,
then you must move your hands like me.
Fine, I'll slice them. You think I'm afraid of you?
When I'm at home, I frequently help my father cook.
Here, like this.
What is he really planning?
Here, like this.
What is important in cutting is your cut must be accurate. Do not hesitate.
Do not hold the back of the knife. Use your wrist to exert force.
Cutting vegetables is not hacking a log.
You must be doing this deliberately. And you are even trying to take advantage of me.
How come the director is still not shouting cut?
Don't move. Good.
Exactly like this.
We are just filming a show.
There is no need to be this close to me, right?
Concentrate.
The director still hasn't said "cut."
Weren't you the one shouting "cut" all day?
What I want is exactly this feel.
If we film all of them like this, the viewer ratings will surely explode.
They are also just doing this for a good show result.
Just acting.
Don't put it to heart.
I'm tired.
I am not in the mood to watch anymore.
Still not saying "cut?"
Feed her. Feed her.
So delicious!
The merging of the freshness of the seafood and vegetables were really done well!
What I want to say was it was done in quite an acceptable manner.
What's the use of being good in cooking? It doesn't mean that your personality is also good.
Cut!
So great!
I finally got to say cut today.
- Pack up! - Okay!
- Thank you, everyone! - Thank you, Director! - Thank you, everyone!
You passed.
Yilan!
- Someone is hurt! Hurry! - Yilan?!
Someone is hurt! Hurry! Hurry!
Hurry! Hurry!
- Yilan, how are you? - Ms. Ye, are you all right?
Yilan, are you all right?
Yilan!
- Yuzhe, hurry and take her to the hospital. - I'll go get the car.
No, boss! Someone must stay in the set to handle things.
Can you not manage it by yourself?!
I'll drive then. I'll inform you once we've arrived at the hospital.
Hurry up.
Be careful...
Come.
Hurry and clean this stuff up.
It's going to be fine. We will arrive to the hospital soon.
Jiaming, you are also hurt.
It's nothing.
- Painful... - Are you all right?
Yilan, hold on. We will be there soon.
It's going to be fine. The wound on her leg is not that deep.
We just need to put some medicine on it and get admitted for 2 days. If everything goes well, she can be discharged afterwards.
Thank you, Doctor.
You heard what the doctor say.
It's fine already. Don't worry anymore.
Rest well.
I'll get going now.
Yuzhe, I am afraid to be alone.
Can you stay and accompany me for a while?
Okay.
Sleep now.
Boss,
do you like Yilan?
When Yilan is around, you are totally different from your usual self.
Really?
How am I usually?
You are usually calm, rational, and take care of everyone.
But when Yilan is around, you only have her in your eyes.
Even me, you don't mind that much anymore.
The three of us grew up together. Our relationship is very good.
It's the same towards Yilan.
If you like her, shouldn't you tell her about it?
Haven't you still noticed who she likes?
I don't.
Fine, she mentioned it.
It's not me, right?
It's better to just not talk about a relationship that is destined to have no result.
What happened to your hand?
It's fine. Just a minor wound.
Haven't you heard of a famous line?
A life full of cuts and bruises is the most perfect one.
Hey, why are you this heartless? Stupidly being optimistic.
Is there anything bad about it?
Once I get old, I will be sitting on a rocking chair and will count my scars one by one.
Telling my grandchildren about these past stories of mine.
Won't that be very romantic?
It's fine to count your past stories but it's better not to leave anymore scars.
Let's go have it taken care of.
It's not good to leave a scar on a lady's hand.
Let's go.
Hello, can you give me some burn ointment and gauze?
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Endure it for a while. I will be done soon.
Remember not to wet this for the next 2 days.
Head Chef Li!
How come this ice disaster is always this weird?
Suddenly being cold or warm, near or distant.
I don't really know what he is thinking.
Jiaming, did you notice that Li Yuzhe's attitude towards you is a bit different with others?
Is it?
Isn't he cold towards anyone?
He is cold with others because he doesn't care about them.
Towards you, he is indeed still cold but he tends to want to get near you.
You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, just take your time to observe.
Why? Why would he want to get near me?
I don't ever want to get near him.
What? Is he not good?
In Yilan's eyes, he is a god.
At the very least, I feel that he is inferior to you, so far behind.
