Flavour It’s Yours
Episode 7
Mom has been gone for ten years.
You still can't get over losing her?
What are you here for, again?
To stop you.
Stop you from the danger of
betting all on a single throw.
I have to win back Rose Winery.
Can you afford the price
you might have to pay?
Can you really give up the money,
honor,
and status
you already have.
If I can accept the challenge,
I can accept the results.
Money,
honor,
or status,
is never what I want.
What do you want?
I’m going to take back
what I want.
Have you made up your mind?
Don't think you can keep hidden
what you did.
Don’t expect to get near the winery.
I’ll get the Rose Winery back.
You have no right to interfere.
What do you say?
I have no right?
Do you have to waste your time
on it?
It’s ok if you want it.
You can
either inherit it
or
fight for it with your own ability.
Ok.
I’ll fight for it with my own ability.
The winery has been losing money for years.
I'll get rid of it as soon as possible.
I'm not going to let you sell my mother's winery.
Beidao,
I’m off if there’s nothing more for me to do.
Hello?
Beidao.
It’s been long since I saw you.
Give me a chance to treat you to dinner.
Beidao,
are you asking me out?
I was busy some time ago.
But I’m free recently.
See you tomorrow.
Ok.
Where?
I haven’t been back to our school for a long time.
I’d like to have a look.
It happens that I want that too.
See you at school tomorrow.
Ok.
See you tomorrow.
Lu Weixun,
something urgent happened.
I need to ask for a one-day leave.
After all these years,
the school hasn't changed at all.
Yeah.
It seems that time has stopped.
I don't want time to stop here.
I mean…
over there
there was a silly girl
wet all through.
That is the place where we met for the first time.
What about here?
This is
the place where we took a photo together for the first time.
Come here.
Here.
Seat No.4, Row 5.
Seat No.5, Row 5.
This is simple.
You want to have some dark plums.
I happen to have some.
And there’s this bottle.
I use it myself all the time.
It’s nothing valuable,
but I’ll give it to you.
If you want to have dark plums,
you can put them here.
Then you write something difficult.
What’s that?
Sorry.
What’s wrong?
What’s it?
Literature Girl.
What?
What do you think it is?
You want to see me?
Let’s have another competition.
What a surprising proposal.
But your proposal
would do me no good.
I beat you.
It's a fact.
I really don't need to risk it
against you again.
Besides, I get both
the winery and the reputation.
Of course,
this is thanks to your previous fame
and failure this time.
Human desire is infinite.
Now that you've got the Rose Winery,
don't you want the Muunas Winery?
How about
we have another competition?
If I lose,
the Muunas Winery is yours.
If I win,
the Rose Winery is mine.
It’s here.
What?
Want to escape?
Where are you going?
Somebody! Help…
Help what?
Shout again.
-Go ahead! -Why stop?
Do you think we are beggars?
Run.
Once
I was told unrequited love was sad.
After being there,
I know our love is like a mistake.
In other people's stories the main characters have changed.
Who is not there to face their own rise and fall?
Everyone has a demon in heart.
Don’t shout out your commitment.
The place where you saved me for the first time.
You got beaten.
Thank god I pulled you and ran.
The scar is still there.
I came to save you.
But it turned out you were on the track team
and ran faster than me.
I wish I had run earlier,
so you wouldn’t have got injured.
I have no regrets about it.
So, the person who bought the Muunas Winery anonymously
is you.
Mu Chunfeng.
If you work as a sommelier while operating a winery,
Mr. Lu,
how can you ensure the objectivity and fairness?
After the competition, whether I win or lose,
I will announce my retirement from the sommeliers’ circle.
This is my sincerity.
Honors from the competition,
status as a sommelier,
and the ownership of the winery.
Now that you have decided
to gamble your whole life,
there is no reason
for me to refuse.
Mu Chunfeng,
you cunning scum.
You are?
A little fan of Lu Weixun.
I am a big fan.
I’m telling you
the other day you won the competition by a fluke.
You were in luck.
You’d better stop at the right time.
Don’t plot against
and smear my idol.
God is watching what you are doing.
Even if our idol is as kind as a bodhisattva,
as his fans, we are not easy to mess with.
I advise you not to be so arrogant.
You are mad.
You are the one who is mad.
Thanks.
It's been a long time since I ate the popsicle at the school gate.
How time flies.
Did you have a good day today?
Yes.
Me, too.
This is for you.
A clown?
Did you not like
negative characters?
People change.
You don’t like it?
I like it.
Lu Weixun,
I like that dazzling you.
But I like you
now as well.
As your most loyal fan,
how can I follow you when you succeed
but leave you when you lose?
What are you doing?
Let go of me.
No.
Take someone else for your idol.
Why?
I’ll no longer be a sommelier soon.
Idol.
We fans want nothing but the best for you.
Listen to us, will you?
Mr. Lu,
isn’t your assistant He Buzui with you?
Idol.
Think about what I told you.
Mu Chunfeng’s scheme is so carefully planned.
There must be a purpose.
In the future, you must pay attention to your safety
in dangerous public places.
Otherwise, we’d be worried.
What danger?
Does that have anything to do with you?
What?
Tell me what danger it is.
It’s getting cold.
Do not expose your legs to the coldness.
Keep them warm.
And your neck.
Take good care of yourself.
Why does it have nothing to do with me?
Did we agree on that?
Stop.
Boss, I hope you are fine.
I’m not fine
and I feel worse when I meet you.
Go back home with me.
Who’s that?
Beidao,
the owner of a web celebrity bar.
Boss?
Idol.
Remember what I told you.
Beidao,
then I'll go. See you later.
See you.
Buzui!
Yong,
I’m going back.
Let’s talk another time.
Beidao.
So you are the dark plumb guy?
You are back?
I am back.
Will you ever leave?
Not until I get my business done.
Beidao, can I have a taste of your dark plumb wine?
Let’s go.
Finish your business quickly and get out here quickly.
Please.
Have you memorized
all the seven segments of the taste?
You dared to ask for leave
with so much to do?
I'll deduct your salary.
Why?
I didn’t get back late.
You were right on time.
But you broke some other rules.
Which one?
I was absent for one day.
Which rules did I break?
It’s ok if you want to go out,
but it depends on whom you hang out with.
It’s not ok if you hang out with him.
He is my senior at school.
Why isn’t it ok?
Because I said so.
What does that have to do with you?
What if he went after my sense of taste
and tried to take them away?
You mean he wants to kiss…?
He's not like you.
He’ll never do things like that.
It will be over soon.
When I'm done competing with Mu Chunfeng,
I'll announce my retirement from the sommeliers’ circle.
And that's when
our contract ends.
You’ll no longer be a sommelier?
Mu Chunfeng has accepted my challenge.
Compete with Mu Chunfeng,
defeat him,
and take back the Rose Winery.
That’s a good thing.
But when I take back the Rose Winery,
I will lose my status as a sommelier.
Why?
You need to break some eggs to make an omelet.
If I maintain both identities,
it is difficult to be objective and fair.
I see.
The Rose Winery was left by my mother.
The day before yesterday,
it was transferred to Mu Chunfeng by Lu Linong.
Before that,
he had auctioned the Muunas Winery at a high price.
At that time,
I bought it anonymously
with my first pot of gold.
Muunas Winery?
Does a sommelier have that much power?
You have to throw it away if he says so?
Other sommeliers may not have the power,
but Mr. Lu does.
That explains it.
Are you really ready to give up
your status as the sommelier?
I’d give up everything
to defeat Mu Chunfeng.
You’d better think it over
whether you win or not.
This time
I’m bound to win.
What are you doing?
Come here.
Sit down.
Tell me what’s in these five glasses.
Wear a blindfold.
Sweet water.
White sugar and rock sugar.
Vinegar and salt.
Smell it not lick it.
Rose salt.
Brown sugar and a little lemon.
Fennel.
Angelica dahurica.
This is the pigment.
This is cinnamon.
Chrysanthemum tea.
Geranyl.
Dry leaves.
Are you sure?
Yes.
The last one.
This is sweet potato root.
Yes.
That’s all.
How was my performance?
Fairly good.
Full score.
What?
Am I a genius?
Boss,
did I surprise you?
Maybe you should award me something.
Don't get carried away.
Dismiss the idea of asking for leave as soon as possible.
The real exam is still to come.
Re…real exam?
What real exam?
These are just the basics.
It’s time to taste the red wine.
Starting tomorrow,
there’ll be tests.
Coming.
Xia Fan,
why are you here?
My idol called me.
I was of course on call.
Today,
you supervise her
and watch my previous competitions with her.
Watch competitions?
It turns out that my idol still trusts me.
Please rest assured.
With me here,
she will not be allowed to take her eyes off the TV,
let alone get out.
You have to figure out training methods later.
Yes, sir.
I need to go out.
Why?
Hire new employees.
Supervise her properly.
Come.
Have a try.
We’ll start with something simple.
What’s this?
You can’t even tell this one.
This is fragrant. Have a try.
What’s this?
Why? You know nothing.
Taste this.
What’s this?
Why did he let you taste these things?
To test my sense of taste.
Welcome. This way, please.
I heard that the wine in this newly opened web celebrity bar
is very good.
And Chao will stand treat today.
Make yourself at home.
We surely will.
Please be frugal!
How is this place?
I think it’s quite nice.
Feels good,
right?
Chao, you have a good taste.
Exactly. You know me.
This place doesn't suit you.
Do you dislike the environment
or the people?
I can offer you a job
as my taste trainer.
The salary is great.
You can get paid daily.
Do I look like someone short of money?
And?
The job I'm offering is well paid.
You should have no reason to refuse.
You know I do not work for money blindly.
What I value is your ability.
Why do you do taste training?
I’ll have another competition with Mu Chunfeng.
It’s simple.
Let's think about the process.
In tasting 45 glasses of non-blended drinks,
you're far faster than Mu Chunfeng.
You spent 270 seconds less than he did.
This means
as long as you give up the tasting of the blended wine,
you will win.
Winning is only an inevitable result.
What I want
is a perfect victory.
You want to defeat him so much?
I have to.
Ok.
But I don’t want to help.
Mr. Lu,
you are harassing my guest.
Your guest?
My guest.
I propose
we drink to the departure of Lu Weixun.
Seconded.
Let’s drink to the smooth progress of our work.
Chao.
For the exclusive interview this month,
you talked with Mu Chunfeng.
What is he like?
If we sign a contract with Mr. Mu,
please let me be his editor.
No. Let go of him.
Let me be his editor.
Why didn’t you two
get excited
when Lu Weixun cooperated with us?
He has such a nasty temper.
Someone else may put up with him,
but I won’t.
True.
It seems that
Lu’s failure
is a punishment for what he has done.
Karma is a bitch.
A just cause enjoys abundant support
while an unjust cause finds little.
I’m not the one who hits a person when he is down.
But I want to be left alone.
How did Lu Weixun trust you so much?
Didn't he kick you out last time?
Who am I?
It's so easy to get someone to like me.
Maybe it's charisma.
-He is going to retire from the
sommeliers’ circle? -I know.
Mu Chunfeng is a scum.
We see eye to eye on this matter.
Idol.
Is your recruitment successful?
Is Yi Beidao on familiar terms with Mi Ya?
Familiar?
Am I that annoying?
Idol.
Why do you say that?
Do you hear anything negative about you?
I'll get even with them.
Forget it.
It’s not important.
Come here.
Let’s get down to business.
Idol,
know yourself and your enemy, you’ll never lose a battle.
I examined it thoroughly.
Mu Chunfeng is from Jiangsu.
He is sort of from a family of scholars.
His parents are academics
in France.
He studied in China
before middle school
and then went to France with his parents.
After he went abroad,
for some reason,
he did not become a scholar
like his parents,
but began to take an interest in wine.
And the strangest thing is that
he has never joined any wine society,
nor does his education background show that
he studied wine.
I want to find out whom he learned from,
but I can't find it out.
According to video,
we find that his speed of tasting
is surprisingly even.
Your speed of tasting
and the duration vary
with the complexity of the wine.
But it took him
40 seconds
from the first drink to the last.
In other words, unlike you, who relied on talent,
he relied on method.
And it takes 40 seconds.
According to the rules of the competition,
after one contestant finishes tasting 50 glasses of wine,
the other contestant will have to stop
and the scores will be calculated.
So, idol,
even if you fail
in tasting the last five glasses of blended wine,
as long as you are quick enough,
you can stop the competition
after you get 45 points.
But at his pace,
even if he got all the answers right,
he would have scored only 43 points.
So, idol,
if you follow my advice,
we’ll win for sure.
I will not do that.
Why?
Because I won’t fail in the appreciation
of a single glass of wine.
Do you want to defeat Mu Chunfeng completely
and let him experience the fear of being dominated?
Then how are you going to win out?
My ability.
These junk foods really affect my sense of taste.
I will never
want them again in the future.
What’s this?
A quiz.
A quiz?
Let’s begin.
Wineries,
places of origin
and their climate.
You don’t write any of them down.
Do I need to write them too?
You didn’t teach me before.
Starting today
and within one month,
you have to memorize the flavors of all of them
and the taste information
behind each of them.
All of them?
Can’t do it?
I can.
One month is ok.
I may spend less time than that.
You’ll be drunk if you drink too much.
One month
is already the limit for ordinary people.
That’s for ordinary people.
I never get drunk.
Leaves.
Smells like some kind of flowers.
Wrong answer.
Pinot noir.
What is Pinot noir?
