The car's here!
Why are there so many reporters?
Told you I didn't want the media to know we're eating here with Mr Cheng.
I don't know how they got wind about this.
Uncle, shall we cancel lunch?
No. Just a few reporters.
Mr Cheng, do you mind?
No. I am off to Shanghai tomorrow.
I must try their Golden Feast today.
Please give way! Thank you!
Friends of the media,
this is Mr Chang's private visit.
Mr Chu is hosting an old friend.
So, no interviews please.
Please leave. Don't disturb our guests.
Please! Please...
Mr Chu, why are you meeting Mr Cheng here?
A comment please...
Why Fung Ming Gui?
Mr Fong! Chi! I'm glad you're here.
I specially brought two friends to taste your Golden Feast.
Mr Choi, Mr Ngai, famous food critics in Hong Kong.
And this is my VIP, Mr Cheng.
You're such a friend.
Such free publicity for Fung Ming Gui.
Let's go up.
You're welcome.
Samuel, bring the reporters too.
Friends of the media, let's go up.
Please...
Chi!
Yes?
I called Auntie Fun. She said Tai-Kwan and the others left early this morning.
Is Siu-Tung back?
No. He's not the chef today.
Who? Who else can prepare the Golden Feast?
Uncle Leung is in charge today.
Blanch the fish maw
and dip it in ice water for half an hour,
Not a bit longer or less. OK?
Yes.
Kuen.
Yes.
Debone and carve the meat of the fish.
Cut from under the gills. Split in halves.
Make 1/4-inch slices. Nothing more or less. OK?
Mr Cheng! Have some tea.
Thanks.
You won't believe it, but I started out as a waiter here.
So you picked up your cooking skills at Fung Ming Gui?
No. no, no, no, no.
Samuel, you know best where I picked up my cooking skills.
Before Mr Chu setup Dynasty, he didn't know how to cook at all.
He learn from the chefs in our group afterwards.
I am curious too,
why Mr Chu couldn't pick up even a simple dish from Fung Ming Gui.
Let me tell you why.
I worked over 10 years at Fung Ming Gui.
Besides holding the kettle...
Mr Fong wouldn't let me into the kitchen.
Tin, you were afraid I would watch and learn?
You have a good memory,
but I never took care of the kitchen.
If you want to know why,
Just go down there now to ask my late wife.
Mr Fong...
you're really afraid Mr Chu might learn just by watching?
No! Stop imagining things.
Grandpa and Mom doted on me most. They never let me in either.
Uncle Tai.
Yes?
Did you go into the kitchen and learn from Grandpa?
No, no, no! Or else I wouldn't make a fried egg like it's thousand years old.
What about you, Kei?
No, of course not.
Auntie Fun, Auntie Hung,
you spent the longest time in Fung Ming Gui
Did you learn from Mom in the kitchen?
She gave me a dressing-down every time I went in.
I did go in. She wouldn't teach me.
See! Fung Ming Gui never uses only the family.
Mom told me, everyone has their gifts.
Say, I like figures, so I take care of the books.
Uncle Tai is good at socialising,
so he takes care of the guests.
Even our chef in charge of the kitchen
is not a relative of ours.
Hear that? Those with the gifts are sent right into the kitchen to learn.
Those without can only handle the kettle.
Who says I don't have the gifts?
Know how many culinary awards I've won?
Cat! Go bring me all the medals I've won. Go!
Cat, just sit down.
Why get Upset? It's just a chat!
Had it not been for Tin spurring you on
how would you have made it?
Uncle Fung, have some tea.
The Golden Feast is almost ready for you.
This is the first dish of the Golden Feast:
the Dragon Fins Soup.
Enjoy!
My friends, the Dragon Fins Soup is hard to find these days.
Try it later and if you do like it
spread the word for us.
If you don't like it, be frank and say it's crap.
Crap.
What did you say? Can you really tell?
Mr Cheng, you've tried this at Ming Yuet Lau
What do you think?
Mr Choi, Mr Ngai, you're experts.
What are your comments?
The Dragon Fins Soup should taste rich but not heavy
with fins at every bite.
Not like this at all.
Frankly, this is worse than fake shark fin soup in the streets.
Tin, your chef made stuff like this
and you call it the Golden Feast?
How am I to face my VIPs?
Tin, is Chef Lau not feeling well?
If so, why don't we come again later?
Chef Lau is not unwell.
He has just lost his memory.
Samuel, tell everyone, how come Chef Lau is making crap like this.
I have a medical report on Fung Ming Gui's chef, Lau Leung, from two months ago.
It says he has dementia.
Besides being forgetful,
he has cognitive disorder.
Mr Fong, is that true?
How can you employ a chef with dementia?
Is your food OK?
I admit, there's a slip with our soup today
but Chef Lau is only a little forgetful.
He can still prepare the Golden Feast.
Chi, don't force it.
I just wanted to give your father a lesson.
Chef Lau can't do it anymore.
Just keep the deposit I paid for the feast.
Who says our chef can't do it?
If you don't like the second dish,
I'll write my name upside down from now!
That's too serious! Don't say that!
Forget it...
Tin, I gave you the way out,
but you insist on embarrassing yourself.
You keep saying Chef Lau is fine.
Why don't we get him out here
to demonstrate the easiest dish on the Feast
Yam Fritters?
Uncle Fung, let's find another day.
Yam Fritters, why not?
Why are you all standing there?
Good you're here!
Chef Lau is back to square one.
What happened? He was fine this morning!
He told me to set free the dried sea cucumber!
That's not crazy enough. He told me to fish for clams in the toilet!
He said he needed to rest his eyes,
and then he fell asleep.
I had to finish the Dragon Fins Soup for him.
Uncle Leung, wake up!
Our lives are in your hands!
Only you know how to make the Golden Feast.
You're awake, aren't you?
Lin, when did you come back?
What? I'm Lin's daughter, Chi!
They are all waiting for you to make Yam Fritters outside.
Yam Fritters, you know?
It's so easy. You can make it yourself, Lin.
Don't depend on me for everything.
What are you doing?
Now, listen, tell them you've hurt yourself and you can't cook.
If they say your Dragon Fins Soup is no good,
say "I followed the palace recipe. What do you know?"
Chef Lau!
It's been a while! Do you recognise me?
Old Chu. The waiter back then!
Remember me?
You look terrific.
Let me introduce...
Mr Cheng, Guangdong Committee member of the CPPCC.
This is Mr Lau Leung, Chef of Fung Ming Gui.
Only three chefs in Hong Kong can do the Golden Feast.
Chef Lau is one of them.
Chef Lau, they didn't quite like your Dragon Fins Soup.
I followed the palace recipe.
What do you know?
Uncle Leung, remember me? I'm Kiu.
You may think we're not professional enough
but here we have Mr Choi and Mr Ngai.
They are professional food critics.
I followed the palace recipe.
What do you know?
Stay cool, Chef.
We're just speaking our minds about the soup
It's nothing personal.
I followed the palace recipe.
What do you know?
Relax! Relax!
Food critics just talks... We get it. It's OK.
Sorry about that.
Chef Lau was a bit sharp with his words
but he's always straightforward.
I followed the palace recipe.
What do you know?
Uncle Leung, they get you already.
Stop repeating this now.
A master chef indeed.
Now my confidence is back with his upcoming dish, Yam Fritters.
Tai, why stand there like a dummy?
Hurry and prepare the ingredients for the chef.
My sincere apologies to all of you.
I'm sorry, Uncle Fung,
but Chef Lau scalded himself while preparing the Dragon Fins Soup.
That's why the soup wasn't perfect today.
Why don't we do this...
Once Uncle Leung gets well,
we'll arrange for another tasting of the Golden Feast.
Alright?
Am I right, Pa?
Right! You hurt yourself, Chef!
Oh, such bad luck for you guys.
Tin, you can't be serious.
Mr Cheng specially came to Hong Kong to try your Golden Feast.
He is going for a meeting in Shanghai tomorrow.
How can you just serve the fin soup and spoil it for him?
Chef Lau can't cook, but you should have other chefs in your restaurant.
Hey, you. You do it.
You? Don't tell me you can't do it.
Brother Fung, don't make it hard for the juniors. They are not ready.
You're right. Don't make it hard for the juniors.
Let the senior do it.
Tin, you do it yourself.
Don't tell me, as the big boss of Fung Ming Gui and a veteran in the field
you can't even prepare your own signature dish.
Let me do it.
Don't tell me, as the big boss of Fung Ming Gui and a veteran in the field
you can't even prepare your own signature dish.
Let me do it.
Chef Siu-Tung, just the right time!
This is Chef Lau's new pupil, Li Siu-Tung.
Let him prepare the Yam Fritters for Chef Lau today.
I have tried the Golden Feast three times.
All the chefs were over 60.
You must be in your early twenties.
How can you prepare this centuries-old Golden Feast?
I picked it up when I was 16.
I started to learn when I was 7
From my shifu, Liu Shunxi Gong-Gong.
I've been in the field for over 50 years but I've never heard of Liu Shunxi.
Do you know how many courses they serve in the Golden Feast?
The Golden Feast originated from the Yuan Dynasty.
At that time, there were 4 cold dishes and 8 hot savoury or sweet dishes.
Then in Ming, it was changed to 7 cold dishes and 13 hot dishes.
How many ingredients do you use for the feast?
18 kinds of vegetables, 8 kinds of seafood 5 kinds of meat.
After Ming Dynasty, what dessert was added?
The bitter but sweet, sweet but bitter:
Double-boiled Lotus Seeds Soup.
You don't cook with your mouth.
Show your skills if you can.
If you can make an authentic Yam Fritters
I will not only pay for all your expenses for today,
but also for 3 full-page ads for Fung Ming Gui.
Deal.
Chef Siu-Tung, I'll count on you.
Master, I won't disappoint you.
Please prepare a bowl of ice.
Sure.
Oh no! It's the yam!
We didn't know Chef Lau had diced up the yam
Since there's a problem with the ingredient
shall we ask Chef Li to prepare another dish for you?
We said it's Yam Fritters and that's what we shall have.
If Chef Li can't manage, just speak up.
I'll take my guests to eat at Dynasty Court
Who says you can't use diced yam for the dish?
Brother, could you mix the yam with flour into a dough.
You're good at force control.
I want 7 parts yin force and 3 parts yang in 10.
The dough must feel pliable and not sticky
with no air bubbles in the flour at all.
He's trying to replace yam with flour?
How can you mix the two ingredients?
Of course you can.
If my brother applies the right amount of force,
he can break down the basic textures of the yam and the flour, and reform them.
That can't be!
This is not a movie!
That's not possible!
Done. There, brother.
It can't be fried for too long
or the high temperature will affect the texture of the yam and the flour.
You may think the key to the dish lies in the yam.
But that's not true.
The essence of this dish lies in the syrup my brother prepares.
Here's the Yam Fritters dessert I've prepared for you.
Enjoy!
Please!
Alright.
What a surprise we could still taste such authentic palace cuisine!
Thank you so much, Chef!
Pictures!
Look this way, please...
Chef Siu-Tung, here's a new contract Ling prepared for you.
There's a blank... Put in the salary you want
As much as you want.
You disappeared all of a sudden and we didn't blame you.
So be good. Sign here, and we're family.
Sign it!
Brother Tai-Kwan, you decide for me.
Yat-Bo, you make a decision.
Yes, Big Brother.
Stop looking. So many people are good at cooking in Hong Kong.
If you want a job so that you won't get sent back to the Mainland,
hurry up and sign.
What? 10 years?
You want Siu-Tung to be bound for 10 years?
We agreed with Miss Chi we'd stay for 3 years.
Why is it 10 now?
Master, is it because Miss Ling is not aware of our agreement with Miss Chi
and made a mistake with the contract?
10 years is not a long time.
Jobs are hard to find now.
Many employees want to be bound by their bosses.
Just tell us what you want.
I'll ask Ling to add it onto the contract.
Oh, come on! Alright, we'll let you call the shots in the kitchen!
We'll give you guys a raise.
How much do you want?
Master Tin, Master Tai, we owe you a lot
and we won't covert bigger rewards.
Riches are but floating clouds...
Alright, please, no more poetry.
Let's meet each other half way.
Eight years?
Five? That's not long.
I thank you for your kindness.
But I discussed it with Brother Tai-Kwan before we came back.
I will fulfill the agreement with Miss Chi.
Three years, and not a day longer.
Rest assured, during these three years,
we brothers will do our best and even give our lives for Fung Ming Gui.
It's not lives we want...
Alright. Three years. Just do your best.
It's getting late. Go back.
Start tomorrow.
I have one more request.
I hope you can get us a computer.
You can deduct the cost from our pay.
That won't be necessary.
Kei.
Yes?
You got a new computer. Yes.
Give them the old one.
Sure.
Thank you, Master Tin.
Thank you, Miss Kei.
Goodbye, everyone.
Goodbye.
Tin, they are such oddballs.
I'm worried they'd disappear in a few days.
What can you do? Tie them up with a rope?
You can't keep a man like that.
I'd say, tie him up with a girlfriend.
You can't even drive him away then.
She's right.
We have Chi, Ling and Kei.
Siu-Tung should fancy at least one of them.
And Fun is available. Buy one get one free.
I don't care if you use girls for that,
but keep your eyes off my sweeties and my sister.
We have three years.
There must be a way to make them stay.
Thank you so much! Goodbye...
Mr Choi, did you find that Yam Fritters an authentic dish of the Golden Feast?
I have only read about that in ancient books
I'm surprised a young man just over 20 knows this ancient recipe.
Hey! Wow...
Hello? Sis Ha... This is Miss Fong who took Wan Tai-Kwan and his brothers to Hong Kong.
Remember me?
I have a question for you...
Wan Tai-Kwan's lot went to Foshan from their hometown and followed you.
You must know about their background.
Wan Tai-Kwan once told me he was from the ancient times.
I wanted to tell you this when you were taking them to Hong Kong.
When I first met them, I did think they were mental.
All they said and did were like they're from the ancient times.
Isn't that funny?
They seem weird, but not bad guys,
so I let them stay in the drama team.
When I first met them, they were in ancient clothes.
I thought they were costumes.
Then I asked some antique dealers and checked.
You know what they said?
Miss Chi!
Miss Ling and Miss Kei are teaching Yat-Bo computer.
I didn't want to disturb them,
so I came to practice my sword skills.
Just ignore me.
Miss Fong, are you alright?
Hello? Hello?
OK, OK. Please go on.
You'll never believe this.
The antique guy told me, from the clothes...
the materials, patterns and craftsmanship...
you can tell they're not costumes but real antiques!
Not only the clothes,
the snuff bottles and jade too...
He said they're all antiques from the Ming Dynasty.
Before Tai-Kwan left, he asked me to keep a sword for him.
Can you guess whom it belonged to, according to the antique guy?
It's called the Dragon Sword.
Ming's Emperor Shenzong bestowed it
on the general guarding the Shanhai Pass. Yuan Chonghuan,
Thank you, Sis Ha. Bye-bye.
Miss Chi, did I hurt you?
Tell me the truth. Did the three of you really come from the Ming Dynasty?
Are you General Yuan Chonghuan of the Ming Dynasty?
Miss Kei, the files on your computer are quite messy.
I'll sort them for you so it will be easier for you to access the information later on.
Thank you so much!
So you've learn to use the computer at home?
Back in Foshan, our neighbour Chuen
lent it to me for one night,
so I picked up a little.
Miss Kei...
have you found the books I need?
You guys are Fung Ming Gui's VIPs.
Of course I take care of your needs right away.
Here are books on astronomy, geography,
mathematics, science and even Aesop's Fables
and elementary English.
If you need anything else, just let me know.
That's good enough. It'll take me some time to grasp the contents.
Thank you, Miss Kei.
Siu-Tung... What are you doing?
The needles are dangerous.
Let me do it for you.
Your hands are so precious.
How can we face Pa if anything should happen to you? Let me...
That's alright.
It's always been my duty to replace the buttons for Big Brother.
This is Tai-Kwan's shirt?
Let me do it.
It's my job. I've always served my brother.
Let me do it.
I'm a woman. Let me do it.
Miss Ling, I'm the servant. Let me...
Stop nagging...
Just let me...
Ling, Kei...
Chi!
I need a word with them in private.
You go downstairs first.
I'll go downstairs after I've mended this shirt.
Take it downstairs with you.
Ling, actually it's nice to wear a facial mask while mending a shirt.
What's that?
Let go, Siu-Tung.
Tai-Kwan...
Go!
Yat-Bo, Siu-Tung, I want to tell you...
I've explained to Miss Chi about our origin in Ming Dynasty.
In 2017, Miss Chi is the only one who knows our true identity.
You are Grand Secretary Zuo Guangdou?
You are Li Jinzhong?
You're really... a eunuch?
I was five when I entered the palace and was neutered.
Before the time travel, I was a page boy with Palace Delicacies.
Now, listen carefully...
From this minute on, don't let anyone know you came from Ming Dynasty
because no one would believe you.
They'd only think you're crazy, call the police and take you to the mental hospital.
Yes, Miss Chi.
Especially you... Siu-Tung.
Since your body is a bit different from others',
don't let anyone know you're short of... of that.
I'll be very careful.
I won't show my body to anyone.
Allow me...
As you said, if others found out about our true identity,
they'd think we'd lost our senses.
Why do you believe us?
I didn't want to believe you're not from the modern world
but I had no choice.
You keep reciting poetry, how can I say you're a modern man?
And he... he could send people flying 10 metres with one blow.
How could I say he's from this world?
Am You!
A kid like you could prepare palace cuisine from centuries ago?
I can bet on anything you guys are really from the ancient times.
May I ask...
Technology is so amazing nowadays
even men can fly up into the sky
and the mobile phone can send voices thousands of miles away.
Are there some new inventions that can take people on time travels,
and send us back to Ming?
There are airplanes and trains
so there may be tools to travel in time!
Is that true, Miss Chi?
No, of course!
If you had something like that, the world would be in chaos! Crazy!
But you don't need to feel disappointed.
There's always hope.
I believe Heaven let you travel from Ming to today.
One day, Heaven will let you go back from Hong Kong to Ming.
Before that happens, can you promise me one thing?
Think only about one thing: make Fung Ming Gui shine.
Spirits up, alright?
Sure.
Yesterday, the young master chef of renowned old restaurant Fung Ming Gui
demonstrated a famous dish for a member of Guangdong's CPPCC,
Yam Fritters from the Golden Feast.
All those present were stunned.
Auntie Kiu, did you see the report on Fung Ming Gui?
Samuel, I want you to do something for me.
That Li Siu-Tung is a new chef they hired from the Mainland.
I've checked with fellows in the field. No one knows him.
I'm digging up about him.
I can't tell if he's a good cook.
I just want to know if this Chef Li's skills are really that brilliant.
I have studied this clip with 7 head chefs of our group.
The conclusion was,
none of Dynasty's 33 head chefs can compare with this Li Siu-Tung.
I'm amazed a chef of his age could help revive Fung Ming Gui.
You know, people outside are saying
Dynasty set the stage for Fung Ming Gui's show.
I'm worried they might say later on
we can't even measure up to a tiny restaurant.
Don't bother yourself with this, Auntie Kiu.
I'll handle it.
I'm glad we have you.
You know how your uncle is.
Just too relaxed.
Only you and I really care enough about the company.
Mrs Chu, Mr Cheuk...
Mrs Chu, Ivan told me he's not feeling well so he can't attend this meeting.
He was fine this morning.
Out of love and out of meetings as well?
Cat, check on Ivan.
If it's nothing serious, he must join us.
His daddy is chairman,
so he must set a good example.
He can't excuse himself for petty things like that.
Sure.
Samuel is right.
Cat, go get Ivan.
Sure.
Meeting time, Mr Valentine.
Auntie Kiu rarely looks so gloomy.
You scared me!
You're like a ghost!
I told you I'm sick.
It never matters whether I attend the meetings.
Oh no... it hurts! Just go, you!
Is it your stomach or heart that's aching?
You lost a girlfriend. The sky didn't fall!
You have to work even if you don't have a girlfriend.
Go to the meeting!
Sis Ling, please! I'm serious about Sandy.
I'm not like you.
You just go dating so casually...
Heen, I'm just giving myself more choices.
Can't I do that?
At least I don't look pathetic when out of love.
You don't go to work or meetings. Such a loser!
Show me you are a man, won't you?
I can't do it.
Listen to me.
You are so eligible.
Girls will queue up for you...
hundreds of times better than that little star too!
No one can be better than Sandy.
I'm talking to you! Hear me?
Now get up and come with me
or I'll smash your head!
Get up! Go!
Yes, yes...
Step aside... please!
Young ladies, this is our main door.
You are blocking the way and we can't do business.
Why don't you go home first?
Chef Siu-Tung is not back yet.
Hey! Wait for your idol at the TV station.
We can't do business if you block our way!
Chef Siu-Tung!
Chef Siu-Tung...
We waited for you for so long! Can we take a picture please?
Can we have your autograph please?
They're so crazy!
They showed Siu-Tung making the dish on TV.
The fans were drawn here. They're blocking the door!
They could go on forever!
Bo, Tai-Kwan, do something.
Yes, Miss Chi.
Do what?
Drive those fans away.
Siu-Tung has work to do. We need to open for business!
Got it.
Ladies, it's improper to touch a man like that!
Don't be afraid, Siu-Tung. We'll save you!
Let me handle it.
Don't touch my brother!
Excuse me! Excuse me, please...
Siu-Tung! Chef Siu-Tung...
I have great news for you!
Actually, there are more practical ways to show Chef Siu-Tung support.
Get your parents and relatives to eat here.
Call this number to book a table.
You'll get to try Chef Li's cooking
and see him in person too!
Really?
I guarantee, if you spend over $500
you can get an autographed picture of Chef Siu-Tung.
Is that true?
Go get your parents! Go!
OK...
We're full at 7:00 pm. What about 8:30?
Thank you, Mr Leung. See you then.
Great news! Just the right time!
Our first day back in business and bookings are almost full!
Great...
What's more...
We got three calls this morning: from one TV station and two magazines.
They all want an interview with our Master Chef Junior.
As I said, he's our lucky star!
We made it through the crisis
and our business will bloom!
Siu-Tung, from now on you represent Fung Ming Gui
Naturally, I am your manager.
Don't listen to him. I am your manager.
My looks say I am the one.
Many TV stations and magazines will ask for interviews.
I'll screen them for you.
It's OK if you don't know what to say. I'll teach you.
Shouldn't the chef just work in the kitchen?
So many other things to do?
Siu-Tung agreed to stay and work for Fung Ming Gui,
besides the agreement with Miss Chi,
it's because he wants to put his cooking skills to work.
How can you make him show face in public like that?
Siu-Tung is introverted by nature.
He doesn't like to deal with strangers.
Miss Chi, please do us justice here.
It's just interviews, not selling his body!
That's right. You're an employee.
You do as the boss say.
People would die for a chance to go on TV!
Stop arguing.
Tai-Kwan.
Yes!
Bo.
Yes!
Siu-Tung.
Yes...
Did you promise you'd do as I say?
Yes, we remember that well!
That's settled.
I know how it works out.
Siu-Tung is good at cooking.
My mother's good and my grandpa's good, too!
To keep your customers with your solid culinary skills is so out of fashion.
Fung Ming Gui should ride on the opportunity
and make Siu-Tung our Master Chef Junior.
From now on, don't just take any interviews
At this stage, we want to create hot talk and a sense of mystery.
If they want to see our Master Chef Junior,
they must patronise Fung Ming Gui.
Chi is right!
Poor you, Siu-Tung.
It must be the grease and smoke in the kitchen doing harm to your skin
That's alright.
Ling will help put facial masks on you.
Miss Chi, that's doing justice?
You're breaking the contract.
You're overstepping the line.
This is Fung Ming Gui
and who is in charge?
I am!
I say something, and it's what I say.
Now I want to make Siu-Tung our Master Chef Junior.
Can I do that?
Yes.
Hmm?
Yes.
Siu-Tung, don't be afraid.
Just be happy and cook in the kitchen.
Let me take care of things for you.
Yes, Miss Chi.
Chef Siu-Tung...
Save the ceremony. Just call me Siu-Tung.
It's the same. Chef Siu-Tung,
here are the ingredients for this evening.
We've got them ready.
Do tell us if you need anything else.
Thank you so much.
I'll have a look.
You go on with your work.
Yes, Chef Siu-Tung.
Chef Lau, anything I can do for you?
Fung Ming Gui was set up in 1973.
Chis grandpa brought the four cuisines: Peking, Szechuan, Shanghai and Zhejiang
from his hometown Suzhou to Hong Kong.
Very soon he shot to fame
and many rich and famous would queue for a table.
Even the former governor MacLehose came for dinner before he left office.
Who was this governor Mr Mak actually?
He was the most senior in Hong Kong.
So Fung Ming Gui was really awesome!
You'll be the 4th generation successor of Fung Ming Gui from now.
Rest assured I will do my best to revive Fung Ming Gui
to repay Miss Chi for recognising my skills.
Good. Good.
For Fung Ming Gui's sake,
don't lie to others!
You said you're Liu Shunxi's pupil.
I know he's a famous chef at the Directorate of Palace Delicacies in the Ming Dynasty.
How could you be his pupil?
You're obviously lying.
I'm not lying.
But there're things I can't tell you.
Keep no secrets if you're upright... Unless you have a guilty conscience.
Since both of us are truly loyal to our masters,
I don't mind telling you the truth.
But you must promise you won't tell anyone else,
especially Master Tin and Master Tai.
I always... keep my promise.
I won't tell. Just say it.
I traveled 400 years from the Ming Dynasty to here.
I know what I'm saying sounds incredible
but every single word I say is totally true.
You have to believe me.
Hey, I must tell you the truth too.
I also traveled in time to this place.
You know who I am?
I am the first emperor of China.
Chef Lau... You are Qin Shi Huang?
Master Tai, I think this shop is dishonest.
The boss told me there's 5 catties of dried abalone here.
But I lifted it and found there's just 4 catties and 10 taels.
It's worse with the sea cucumbers.
It says 18 catties, but in fact there's just 16 catties and 2 taels.
Should we take it up with the boss
or let Miss Chi handle it?
Don't play smart here.
They always weigh the goods before giving it to me.
There can't be a mistake.
Did we ask you to move or weigh the goods?
Your hands are more accurate than the scale?
Master Tai, you didn't know.
I've practiced kung fu since I was small
I can lift something and tell its weight.
Fung Ming Gui has always bought from them.
We're an old customer.
They won't cheat on us.
I still think something's not right.
Let's get a scale.
Hey! Stop this fuss!
I'm warning you, don't say anything to Chi.
We hate gossipers.
Hurry up and move the goods!
Sure.
Brother Tai!
Hello, boss!
Here's the invoice.
Thank you, thank you!
Immeasurable Ocean!
