EPISODE 11
Tian-ye, this is Yang Rong,
...the first rank of the culinary major that I have told you before.
Just give the assistant cook job to her.
I remember you said she would come before 12pm for trial.
It is already pass 1pm./ Sorry, I stucked in traffic.
Therefore I am late./ Poor time management,
...I couldn't hire you./ It's not like that, Tian-ye.
It is hard for me to recruit Yang Rong.
You are quick to dismiss her like that. What about the assistant cook vacancy?
I am sorry, I wouldn't be late anymore. Please give me one more chance.
What is your name?/ Dong Shan-cai.
You also said you came for the assistant cook interview?
Can you start working today?/ No problem./ Can not...
I saw her resume earlier, she never have the experience needed.
Attitude is more important than experience.
A Si, I received several call from Mother.
She told me to bring you to London this time.
I have rejected it for you.
Sis, I have decided./ what?
That I am going to England.
Didn't you say that you rather die than going?/ Can't I change my mind?
I actually have been thinking about it before the Bridge game.
After it was finished, no matter winning or losing,
...I want to go to England to see the university.
If I like it, I will go enroll there.
Because of Shan-cai?/ Sis, you talk too much.
I said I want to go and I will. Anytime.
The faster the better.
By the way, please help me take care of the administration and passport.
You are so easy to defeat, it is so not Dao Ming's family trait.
I finally can have a rest. I am old now, incapable of working.
Uncle Gao Bing has worked really hard./ I am about to retire.
The young ones should always working.
Tian-ye, you should be replacing me as the Main Chef.
I haven't known if I pass the test or not.
Come all...please try the ribs I cooked.
A fragrant sweet and sour ribs./ You can cook?
My mother sells food, I learned a little.
It isn't bad. The taste and presentation is good. What school were you from?
I went to Ming De./ Ming De? Ming De was full with smarties.
Why do you come here and be an assistant cook?/ I took Nutrition major.
Usually my mother cook at home, I really like to learn in here.
I know I can learn so much more.
It looks like we have many college students here.
This is our second chef, Tian-ye. He is a student in Business Institute.
You eat first, I haven't finished slicing the onion.
I will be back.
Dao Ming-si is gone, will F4 fall apart just like that?
My heart is gone with Dao Ming-si./ Shan-cai.
Shan-caia€|
What's up?/ Have you heard?
Heard what?/ Dao Ming-si is going to London.
London? You are trully going to London?
You're too much. All my mother's business are in London.
What is weird with me going back there?/ Don't lie. You clearly don't like London.
You must be avoiding Lei and Shan-cai, aren't you?
Why would I avoid them?/ A Si.
Yeap, I am not going back to London because of you.
I want it myself.
I will be a greater Dao Ming-si before coming back here.
Don't be joking, it will be good if you can stand 2 months there.
Why are you going to London?/ Why? Is there a problem?
Shan-cai, he is not sure yet. Help me persuade him.
I have decided, don't persuade me.
I am going tomorrow./ Tomorrow? Why didn't you tell me?
Why should I tell you?
If I, the obstacle, is gone, you can go on dating. Right, Lei?
You can build a nice relationship.
I happen to go to London to find a westerner.
I could have a date everyday on the Thames river...
...and live a romantic life.
Good, just go. I will be happier if I don't have to see you.
My life would be better if you're not here. Hopefully we never meet anymore.
Shan-cai, bring the soup that has been cooked here./ Sure.
Be careful.
Are you okay?/ I am okay.
Welcome.
Dao Ming-si./ Where is Shan-cai?/ She is going to the evening class today.
She must be working at Frankie's this hour./ Frankie?
Thank you.
You are not focus all the time today. What's the matter?
I.../ Shan-cai, there is a man that insist to meet you.
Insist to meet me?/ Yes.
He ordered a lot of food and wouldn't eat them saying that all of them are not fresh.
He wants the person responsible in the kitchen to meet him.
He is surely coming to create a problem.
I am looking for Dong Shan-cai, get her out here.
Sir, my apology. Dong Shan-cai is responsible in the kitchen, she can't come here.
If she doesn't come here, I will not go.
Why are you here?
Sir, I heard you said that our food is not fresh? Which one?
Fresh veggie or not, I don't care, I am looking for someone.
Restaurant is a place to eat.
Please wait her after the shift ends,
...before meeting her. Don't disturb our working schedule.
One more, our restaurant is a legal entity that meet the hygiene standards.
Please don't ruin our reputation./ So chatty.
I come here not to hear you talk. I come here to look for Shan-cai.
Aren't you going to London?
What happen with your hand?
Exposed to hot thing. Not your business.
Can you be more dependable and able to take care of yourself?
Making yourself so busy and have so many part time jobs.
Why didn't you tell me?/ Why should I tell you my problem?
What does it have to do with you?
Let's go./ You act as you please.
Why do you act like that?/ Sir, please keep your attitude.
She is my employee. You put her into trouble, means you do that to me too.
Who do you think you are? You don't have the right to talk to me.
Dao Ming-si, this is my workplace.
Please respect my job and my colleague./ What do you mean?
What I mean is that you should leave.
I initially want to say goodbye to you.
But is is unnecessary now.
Dao Ming-si.
Dong Shan-cai, I will never come back
Good bye.
Are you okay?
It's all right. I am sorry to have bothered everyone.
I thought that he came looking for trouble. is Dao Ming-si your boyfriend?
No. I'm not in a relationship with him anymore.
I didn't bid farewell nicely to Dao Ming-si,
...I might regret it later
But maybe a farewell like this works better for us.
Aren't you broke up with Dao Ming-si already?
Why are you still upset?
I don't know. I actually don't have the right to be upset to him.
But when I heard that he is going to London, I feel that it is so sudden.
I can't accept that he is going without telling me.
It is so clear that you have attention to him./ How can I be?
I can't accept what he did./ I know.
He purposedly look for you. He must have wanted to make it up with you.
But you both ended up fighting again.
Shan-cai, you come back home./ My dear daughter come home already.
Why you look so gloomy? What are you doing lately?
Why are you coming home late everyday?
I have a part time job./ Part time job?
What kind of job? Is it tiring? Will it affect your study?
No. It is not affecting my study...
...and also really useful for me./ Really?
Yes. I am an assistant cook in a restaurant. I already manage the schedule.
You don't have to worry./ Assistant cook in a restaurant?
The kitchen is full with fire, how can we be so calm?
Your skin is so soft, what if it get burned?
Be calm.
Mom, aren't we always cook together?
That is good too. Learn a better cooking skill,
...and next time you could cook for dad.
Great. This way Shan-cai can expand our family menu level, am I right?
Hurry, bring these inside./ She already has part time job.
...don't make her work anymore./ She still have to do her job here.
You spoil your daughter.
A, C, W, X, D, D, B, D.
10 times and wrong for 7 times./ How can it be?
If it's like this, how long should I practice until my memory is as good as you?
You nagged me to train you. Now you give up already?
Why should you practice memory?/ I am a member of F4 anyway,
...of course I should always strive to be greater...
...and avoid everyone from humiliation./ Aren't you out from the group?
When did you join the F4 again?/ I...
Dao Ming-si, tell them. I am F4, aren't I?
A Si, what's wrong with you? you look so pale.
Whoever started the trouble should end it.
I should've brought Shan-cai here from the beginning.
She is busy working part time.
She works so hard. I am now admire her even more.
If I don't take so many modules this semester,
...I would also want to work with her.
Shan-cai is working, why are you bothering her?
What it has to do with you?/ What do you mean by that?
Shan-cai's problem is my problem.
Dao Ming-si, why are you interfering too much?
Aren't you going to London soon?/ Qing-he,
...I feel that you are having more of the F4 charisma.
Now that A Si is going to London soon.
You could join F4.
I am the member of F4./ Noisy.
Xin-hui, I tell you, it seems that Dao Ming-si is going tomorrow.
Isn't he suppose to be flying today? I don't know if he's gone or not.
Shan-cai.
Aren't you going to see Dao Ming-si off?/ I don't want to.
I thought you like him./ Who said that?
I always thought that even though you always say that you like Hua Ze-lei,
...you actually like Dao Ming-si.
Why don't you tell the truth?/ What nonsense are you talking about?
If he's going now, you wouldn't know when he will be back.
Are you sure you want to let him go?
Do you know? When we fight,
...Dao Ming-si was drunk and I brought him to my house.
I thought that he would like me, but he said I am different to you.
He said that Shan-cai is so sincere.
Are you sure you want him gone?
A Si, don't miss us too much when you're in London.
I already sent all our pictures to your email.
You can see them when you miss me./ Who want to see your face?
I am not a girl./ Why do you guys all act like girls?
It's not like we won't meet anymore.
Sis Zhuang, it's not that we don't want A Si to leave,
...but we don't want you leave. If you're gone,
...no one will scold and kick us anymore. We will feel lonely.
Really? I will miss you all too.
Come, Let me hug you./ Sure./ I want it too.
Good boys.
Why? Don't you want me to hug you?
Childish.
Ah, have you bid your farewell to Shan-cai?
Don't have to care. Wherever I go is not that ugly girl business.
Don't you act impolitely to a lady who is charismatic, poise,
...gentle, sincere and attractive.
You, charismatic?
Ouch.
Stupid kid, it's been too long since I give you some lesson, you want some?
Isn't it good that Hua Ze-lei takes care of Shan-cai now?
Okay. A Si and me are about to go. See you again.
Take care, sis Zhuang. Don't miss me too much./ See you again.
See you again./ Safe flight.
A Si, wait a moment.
I want to talk to you./ What's wrong?
What are they talking about?/ I don't know.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.
Please wear your seatbelt.
The flight from Shanghai to London will be take off shortly.
Please wear your seatbelt and switch your cellphone...
...to the airplane mode. Thank you for flying with us.
Hope you have a pleasant journey.
Lei, this kid is so cunning./ What did you say?
I want to get off the plane./ Don't be noisy.
I warn you to sit well, don't act like a child and humiliate me.
I don't care, I want to get off./ Sit nicely.
I don't care./ Sit nicely.
I want to get off./ Sit nicely.
You big child.
You pineapple head that wears green crocodile.
Don't you act like you're someone important here.
Always act as you please anywhere.
Don't change the tenderness to cruelty
Give my phone back.
Give it back. Give it to me.
Do you also worry that I feel lonely?
Love does not have the heart that we could store for how long
Even if many people like me
Why are you looking for me?/ Take it. Your jacket.
As if want to know something By your side not thinking of anything else
I am so happy think of you that care of me
I am sorry I'm late.
As long as you said nothing happened, I trust you.
Why do I feel disappointed suddenly?
I thought you like Dao Ming-si.
No, I don't like him.
I don't like a cocky and arrogant person. I am just...
What happen to me?
Big Lady and A Si is coming home.
Where is Madam?/ She is going to New York.
Where is Sis Yu?/ She's going as well to take care of her.
Sis, Mother is not here. We also don't have any business here.
Let's go back to Shanghai.
What happen? You're the one who said you want to enroll in a school here.
But then kept on fussy in the plane.
We just arrived here and you suddenly said that you want to go back soon.
What do you really want exactly? Are you crazy?
You're the one who act too much and hit me hard until I passed out in the plane.
Are you really my sister?
Didn't I tell you that we got you from doorprize?
I talk seriously.
I already enrolled many international economic class for you.
Many international economic class.
At least you stay here longer...
...or I can't be responsible to mother.
You should be responsible to mother?
Do you mean that she sent you to watch me?
You really can't differentiate a friend and a foe.
If I was not on your side,
...mother would already went back to Shanghai and give you some lessons.
It is so clear that she's the one who is busy. No time to go to Shanghai and visit me.
That is true.
But you should know, you are the heir of Dao Ming group, appointed by mother.
Although she can't watch you closely, but all your moves...
...are all known to her. You must have been aware of this./ Of course.
So what if mother oppose?
I don't want her to govern my life.
The boy is quite mature now.
Actually there was nothing happened between me and Shan-cai that time.
I think the one who she likes is you.
What is your name?/ Don't want to tell you.
Why you don't want to tell me? What is your name exactly?
I've told you. I don't want to tell you.
Hello, how are you?/ Hello? Is this Frankie Shanghai restaurant?
I am looking for Dong Shan-cai, your assistant cook.
Who are you?/ I... I am her father.
I have an important matter and need to talk to her. Please hurry.
Hello, Dad.
Why are you silent?
Is the signal bad? Dad, If you say nothing, I will hang up.
Hello? It's me. Are you tired from working?
Is your money sufficient for you? Is there anyone who bully you?
Sorry, you must pressed the wrong number.
That spiteful girl hang up my call.
Ah well, can't blame her. She doesn't know that I was the one calling.
A Si. A Si, are you home?/ Yes.
I'm going home to eat./ We are having lunch break, there is no food for you.
Then I can only ask sis Yue to have me. Please have me.
Yes? Sis Yue./ Sure. Prepare a table for you.
Come./ Okay./ A Si.
A Si, I have never seen you since you started the university.
Almost 4 years./ Yes.
Once I am home, I want to eat your cook. The one that I like the most since I was little
Please eat./ Please. All of your favorite meals.
Kungpao chicken, Hongshao tomato, sweet and sour ribs, and tantan noodle.
I almost drip my saliva./ You are so big now.
When your mother brought you to London, you were only 6 years old.
You didn't have a penny and stood in front of our restaurant.
Super hungry and shaking hard, look so pity...
...but also so sweet./ Lucky me that sis Yue kind heartedly took me in.
Right. Who would've thought that once you eat my cook, you didn't want to go home.
Your parents were so panic and looking for you all over London...
...and almost get me to the police station./ What can I do?
My parents were so busy working and brought me everywhere.
So annoying. In addition, my mother never cook for me.
As long as you like. Sis Yue welcome your presence.
Thank you, sis Yue. You're the kindest to me.
To be honest, I feel that you are so similar with my in law.
Arrogant and childish on the outside, but is actually really gentle,
...generous and sweet.
He must look so handsome./ Of course.
Who do you think is better looking, me or him?
Of course...both of you are handsome.
I'm going to prepare your dessert./ Sure.
A person like you who doesn't understand the meaning of hardwork...
...is a scumbag./ Shut up.
I am almost crazy thinking about you
Taste similar, isn't it? This sweet and sour doesn't look good.
Just throw it away if you don't want to eat it.
Why eating the sweet and sour ribs I can still remember that stupid girl?
Shan-cai, can you help to try this menu?/ Of course.
Lobster. just by looking at it my saliva is almost dripping.
How is it?
Super delicious. What's the name?
I saw that you were busy for 4-5 hours, you must feel occupied./ Yes.
This is Thermidor lobster, a famous menu from Paris.
There are only some domestic chef that can make this.
Uncle Qian is one of them./ Who is Uncle Qian?
Uncle Qian is a famous chef in this country.
Every year he conducts a cooking test in Shanghai.
I work for a year in Frankie so I can have his recognition...
...and promoted to the main chef./ Is he hat good?
This soup must be hard to cook./ Right.
It was infused with fish stew inside.
Should use abalone, sea cucumbers, fish head, yak skin,
...oyster king mushroom, vein and scallop boiled for 3 hours.
I did a 3 months research before I found this recipe.
Just preparing a soup can take so much time?
If you want to make it, there is one quick way.
There is one cooking ingredient called Kamio leaves that could replace it.
Why don't you just use it. Why all the effort?
It tastes different. And how can we be lazy as a chef?
Moreover, Kamio Leaves is hard to find./ I understand.
When is your test?/ Tomorrow./ Tomorrow?
I felt so tense earlier, but when you said it tastes good, I'm relaxed.
Tian-ye, you are so persistent and diligent, you will be a great chef someday.
Good luck for tomorrow.
What should we do? What have we got to do?
I don't know./ How can it be like this?
Oh crap.
What? What happened?
Tian-ye is doomed. He overslept this morning.
The fish soup is overcooked, the sauce taste is different.
Only 2 hours left. 2 hours before the test.
He must be recreating the sauce now. He will be late.
Fighting.
Tian-ye./ Why am I so stupid?
I work for a year in Frankie for today.
Don't be tense.
We will find a way to overcome this.
It needs 3 hours to re create the soup, it won't cut it.
Can it be postpone until tomorrow?
There is no tomorrow.
There is one ingredient from Kamio leaves that can replace it.
Tian-ye, you just cook the Thermidor lobster.
Wait for me, I will go looking for the ingredient for you.
This is...
Shen Nong Zhuang.
How are you? I want to buy all Kamio Leaves.
How can you know that we sell Kamio Leaves?
I already look for the information online. Only you sell it all across Shanghai.
You are so lucky. We only have one left.
How much?/ 1500 Yuan./ So expensive.
Tian-ye, I have bought Kamio Leaves.
Shan-cai, where have you been? I only have 30 minutes left.
Wait for a moment. I almost arrive.
Kamio Leaves.
What to do?
Lady, are you all right?
Still remember me?
Step away.../ Grandma, be careful.
Tian-ye, is it still able to?/ Shan-cai, what is with you?
I am good. You just go now or you will be late.
Tian-ye, you are so great.
You are so young but you can present a Thermidor lobster...
...that tastes so delicious.
Your future must be bright./ Uncle Qian, you are too much.
But if the sauce is not cooked with Kamio,
...you could have a better score.
Tian-ye, how did you learn to cook?
I don't have a special training.
But I have loved cooking since in middleschool and work part time in many restaurants...
...until I have the experience.
It turns out Tian-ye is like me working part times in many places.
It seems that his life is not easy either.
Walk safely./ Congratulations, Tian-ye.
From now on, you are the main chef of Frankie restaurant.
Main chef...
If it was not because of you buying that Kamio leaves,
...I wouldn't be able to pass the test. This is all because of you.
Shan-cai, thank you./ You are welcome.
Thinking that your talent get the recognition, I am really happy.
Thinking that your talent get the recognition, I am really happy. You kid.
Congratulations, Senior Tian-Ye./ Congratulations... Main chef...
Congratulations, main chef...
