[ Episode 32 ]
You have a long break.
You arrogant punk.
Hwa Ryong Jum Jung has no customers
because you gangsters barged into the hotel.
As for the construction fee issue,
we'll leave it up to people are to make payments.
Shouldn't chefs like you and I focus on the kitchen?
Let's decide on the rules of our competition.
The competition will take place during lunchtime in three days.
Hwa Ryong Jum Jung will be the location.
Your tiny restaurant isn't worthy of this competition.
100 customers will serve as judges.
Enough food should be prepared
to serve 100 VIP guests.
One assistant wok handler
and one knife handler. Total of three people.
Two dishes for 100 people will be prepared in two hours and served simultaneously.
The first dish will be prepared with ingredients of my choice.
You and I will each make the dish.
The second dish will be prepared with ingredients of my choice.
You and I will each make the dish.
Of course, the other's ingredients will be disclosed at the start of the competition.
The method for deciding the winner
will be by having the customers place their spoons
on the dishes they felt tasted better.
100 spoons in the first round. 100 in the second round.
A total of 200 spoons.
The team that has more spoons is the winner.
- Chef. - What, punk?
The person who loses here, both you and I...
will lose everything.
The winner will take everything.
Hungry Wok and Hwa Ryong Jum Jung.
That's how life is.
For me, avocado.
Well...
the same for me.
Please choose your vegetables and sauce.
Let's just put everything.
Add avocado as extra.
Thank you for the meal.
You eat so well.
We were all worried because you didn't show up to work.
When I was going through a tough time,
I regained my strength after eating black bean noodles.
It's been hard for you, huh?
Your father...
may be a free man soon.
The bank president, Dan Seung Ki.
I went to meet him recently.
- My dad? - Yeah.
- You did? - Yeah.
I was really nervous.
But I persuaded a witness who's willing to testify who can clear his name.
He was bribed with money before
so likewise he fell for our bribery.
Don't worry. Your dad will be released soon.
Even in prison,
he was worried about his family who's working at the restaurant.
He asked me to take care of your family.
But since he'll be released soon,
I don't need to anymore.
Is it true, Boss?
Yeah.
- Really? - Yeah.
Wow.
Thank you for helping my dad to be released, Boss.
I really thank you.
But just in case,
don't tell your family yet. Just keep it for yourself, okay?
I really thank you. I won't ever forget this.
Thank you, Boss.
Welcome.
We just got this today, so it's very fresh.
Is this about two kilograms?
It has to be about three kilograms for four.
- Why is that? - The freshest one, please.
♫ It's a strange feeling as if it's the first time ♫
♫ As if I'll stop breathing when you come to me ♫
♫ Like fireworks as if ♫
♫ it'll jump here and there my heart. ♫
What is this?
Hey.
What is this all of a sudden?
Get away already.
I won't get away.
What is this? Something good happened?
Something good will happen.
If my dad comes out, then it'll be good for us, too.
- Is your dad coming out? - Yeah.
That's such great news.
Wink.
Why wink all of a sudden?
Hurry, do something that monkeys and chimpanzees can't do. Only people can.
Please do it for me.
Okay.
Good job.
Okay, one more?
Congratulations.
- Congratulations? - Yeah.
- We can't do this, no? - No.
♫ It'll never cool down, it'll be hot with you ♫
♫ With you, the beautiful you. ♫
- He eats well, huh? - Yeah, he does.
How did you do without aunt and oppa?
We condensed the menu.
It's strange 'cause we're not here, huh?
Well, you know.
How can we convince them to come out?
Mom threatened that they'll have to move out if they work for you.
We're having a cooking competition with the hotel.
I don't care about the other days, but that day
I need the knife handler and you for sure.
- Me, too? - Yeah.
I can't cook for 100 people in a short time. I can't do it alone.
Especially, to clean lobsters
we need a certain amount of time for each one.
We need one wok assistant and a knife handler
to be a team of three to compete.
But Maeng Dal hyung doesn't know too many things still.
He's slow...
and not skillful enough.
That's a big problem.
The knife handler is not answering my phone.
Can we go and ask together?
What is this?
How can you escape by yourself?
You have to bring out the knife handler, too.
Is it possible that she won't come back for good? By chance?
Where did she go?
I asked Dong Sik,
and he says they did lunch and dinner all by themselves.
She didn't go to the restaurant, Madam.
Geok Jung.
I can't stop her from going to places when she has legs.
What do I do?
Where is Seol Ja?
She was just here.
I'll look for her, Madam.
Maeng Dal.
Maeng Dal...
I almost forgot your face.
How can you run away
and not show up like that, Seol Ja?
This man's heart will get sick.
That's why I came out secretly.
I can't let Madam know that I'm here.
Did you buy ramen already?
I brought kaoliang wine.
I'm making something more delicious than ramen.
Come this way.
Oh, my gosh!
- Knife handler. - What are you doing?
What are you doing here, Miss?
Mister!
Did you just trick me?
"I miss you, and I want to make ramen for you."
Was it to trick me to see Chef Poong?
How can you say that? Makes me so sad.
You know that I was being sincere.
And we can't have the hotel take over Hungry Wok, right?
You feel the same way, right?
I'm not part of Hungry Wok anymore.
- I'm leaving, Miss. - Aunt.
If we win this competition,
you can work in the hotel kitchen.
You'll be a knife handler at the Hwa Ryong Jum Jung.
Don't you think that your skill's too good for our house?
I always thought that when I was growing up.
Not as our housekeeper,
you could've been the best chef in the best hotel.
That's the truth.
Please help me, knife handler.
You know very well that
we can't win without you.
The Madam will kick me out
if I work as Hungry Wok's knife handler.
She won't ever see me again.
Let go of my hand.
Let her go, okay?
Hey.
You'll change your mind
when you see the ingredient for the competition.
- Um... - Hey, don't hold her hand.
The applewood smoked whole lobster
using the apple wood chips.
Are you competing with this?
Looks delicious.
I have to take out the flesh
maintaining its shape.
It's important that we see the
lobster shape without the shell.
Within an hour, we need to take out the flesh quickly
without damaging it to serve 100 people.
A dish meant for you.
A dish only possible with you.
The cuisine just for you.
You don't use a knife to do that. Move over.
Two minutes for one lobster.
To do 25 lobsters, it'll take more than 50 minutes.
How will we win like that?
The tail is the main part
of the lobster.
This can't be damaged.
Gently crack it.
And twist the end of the knife...
the claw comes out without any damage.
It has to shine.
Even though it's small
this is the sweetest.
You can't toss it because it's too much work, okay?
It took you a minute to take out the lobster meat.
You're the true knife handler.
Three days later, at 11 a.m.
The place of competition is Hwa Ryong Jum Jung kitchen.
Please come.
I beg you.
Aunt, please.
The real estate agent called.
There's someone who wants to purchase our building.
Dong Sik...
you find out estimated
- auction price of the hotel. - Yes, Hyungnim.
- And find out who's participating, also. - Yes.
How come your mother doesn't come by these days?
Maybe she's burdened that I'm her son?
No wonder.
I'm only a thug.
No way.
Since she became your mom,
she should come more often. Why doesn't she?
Dear Chil Seong,
I'll travel and come back.
I'm not trying to go away
so don't worry.
Eat well and take care of yourself.
From Mom.
Where are other kitchen crew members?
They'll be here for sure.
You'd better not go.
[ Oh Maeng Dal ]
Our ingredient...
is lobster.
How about yours?
Ours is pork belly.
Where are your knife handler and wok assistant?
They'll be here soon.
When the women come out
take them into your car without hurting them.
Just keep them away for awhile.
So just take them for a three-hour drive.
They can't see my face, so I'll follow behind you.
Okay.
What the...
So loud.
- No manners... - Madam.
I'll go and tell him to stop.
Geok Jung, you go out.
Must be an argument over parking.
Yes, Madam.
Geok Jung, let's make noodles for Madam.
Make some dough.
Hurry.
Yes, Noona.
Me, too.
Where are you going?
I'll go and pick some peppers.
You like spicy broth.
If you're suspicious, then let's go together.
Before I get killed by impatient people in this wealthy area,
Seol Ja, hurry! Come out!
It's so loud!
Stop what you're doing with that hand of yours.
Get inside, hurry. We don't have time.
Aunt, we have to go. We have to go.
I can't go.
- I can't go. - I'll take the blame. Let's hurry and go.
- If Madam finds out... - Let's just go, please.
What should we do?
Should we block them?
No.
He's a thug, too. He won't leave quietly.
Let's follow them.
After five minutes, you come down to the basement parking lot.
We have to delay them there.
So, are you the only one?
Hey, Poong. I think the result is obvious.
This is too easy.
Don't talk to me. I'm busy.
Lobster has the most sodium content among all the seafood.
The key is to get rid of the right amount of the saltiness.
You two, control the saltiness.
Yes, Chef!
Two, three, four.
Why didn't learn from me the right way?
You have to drain the sea water for 10 seconds for each lobster.
You drained the water only for four seconds...
How could the customers eat because of the saltiness?
I'll take care of the remaining six seconds.
So, mind your own business.
How come they're not coming back?
Geok Jung!
Follow them and see if they went to the hotel.
If they're there,
- you bring them back, okay? - Yes, Madam.
My husband has to be released soon,
so that he can separate them.
Noona, are you on your way to the hotel?
I'm at the hotel's parking lot.
Geok Jung, please tell Madam
that I have to help Chef Poong with the competition against the hotel.
I can't ignore it because I feel so guilty and feel like I'd die.
I'll work as his knife handler only today.
I'll never go back to his kitchen ever again.
Please explain to her, okay?
Tell her I'm really sorry, okay?
Noona, what are you thinking?
Are you willing to end your relationship with Madam?
Noona!
Block the ways for the next three hours in the first level parking
so that they can't get out of the car.
And take away their cell phones, too.
- It's there. Over there. - Yeah.
- What are these cars? - Oh, my gosh.
Hey!
How can you give us such tiny, little room?
Move, please?
- Please go forward. - I'll just move forward.
- Oh, my goodness! - Oh, my.
If we win...
give up on the protest rights worth three billion won.
And close down Hungry Wok, too.
Sign it.
If we win...
then we'll take over this
Chinese restaurant right away.
Be sure to keep your promise.
Speak for yourself.
[ Do Chil Seong!! ]
- I'm excited. - Yes.
If we knew, we should've learned how to do it.
It's not that simple.
You're trying to make up for lost time, huh?
You're taking out the saltiness by unnecessarily blanching.
Every time you blanch, don't you know you're losing the sweetness of the natural flavor?
What's that?
I'll use the apple wood chips, so it'll be covered with
fragrant sweetness in whole.
If you cut the head and the tail, you get rid of the sweetness, saltiness, and the ocean taste.
It's much better than that.
Don't compare my lobster dish with
any cut up, cheap, fried food.
From one grain of rice to one clove of minced garlic,
I'll show you the peak of the Guan Dong province's fried food.
The stickiness of the rice can't be present.
Wash away the stickiness.
So, they don't stick together.
That's still fried food. It's greasy.
Ah, the smell of apple.
Change.
You are having a hard time doing it alone.
How will you finish 100 servings?
We don't have time, so let's decide on the plates.
Rock-paper-scissors.
Okay, I'll take the black plates.
You don't use a knife to do that.
Gently crack it.
The claw comes out without any damage.
It has to shine.
♫ I'll be there when you call by your side and always ♫
♫ I'll take your pain let it out through your eyes ♫
♫ Let it be whatever I don't care what I'm going through it now ♫
♫ Carry on all the way ♫
♫ Carry on brand new life all the way ♫
Hyungnim, it took you a minute to make one.
You have 15 minutes remaining.
You have 24 lobsters remaining.
You can't take a minute for one lobster.
Either you help me or...
lobster has to take off its shell by itself.
Those are not the options.
My hands...
have to...
move faster, right?
♫ I'll be there when you call, quietly watching you ♫
♫ I can't see the time that's rushing ♫
[ Wok of Love ]
The ingredient I picked is the pork belly.
No problem.
The final result is 115 against 85...
She stayed strong until now, but she relapsed.
I'm glad that my false charge has been cleared.
Will you be back as the bank president?
Stop seeing my daughter.
Why is it that I'm not the one?
My daughter needs love and money, too.
I won't have time to see you much.
You don't want to work together?
