[Yummy, Yummy? Yummy!]
[Episode 10]
Drumsticks and chicken cutlets!
[Shen's Restaurant]
- Are they really that tasty?
- You can go in and try them.
Go in and taste them.
Dad. Mom. The dishes are ready. Hurry up.
Coming right away.
Hurry up.
Be careful.
All right.
Swift and Fragrant Threads is here.
[Table 3]
Fourteen coins.
Who in ancient eras could make cold skin noodles?
Who in ancient eras could make instant noodles?
Who else in ancient eras could fry
chicken cutlets bigger than one's face?
Only I, Shen Jianshe.
I'm uniquely talented.
Enough.
If we were in a time-travel novel,
you would be a nobody.
The male protagonists are better than you.
The people here haven't eaten this kind of food.
You don't have any real skills. Stop boasting.
You can't say that. Stop embarrassing me.
You should be nicer to me.
I'm a genius chef now.
Without me,
would this restaurant be so successful?
Shen Jianshe, I realized you claimed
all the credits when we opened the restaurant.
It sounds like it's all your merits, right?
Your daughter took care
of the decorations and uniforms.
She taught you to make instant noodles
through the pan-fried noodle's methods.
You're the talented one?
How can you be so shameless?
Yes, that's right.
However good my daughter is,
she's still my daughter.
This is all about genes.
Dad. Mom.
I've good genes. It's a full house.
Serve the food immediately.
Really?
- It's full again?
- It's full?
- Yes.
- Hurry up.
Try some of this.
This Golden Fragrant Light Crisp is thin and crispy.
It's even sweeter with this sauce.
The Fragrant Cold Jade Skin Noodle
is also very refreshing.
It's really delicious.
After eating so much,
you still haven't gained weight.
What's wrong?
Your family is in the fabric business,
yet you don't want to spare
an extra bolt of cloth for yourself?
What did you say?
I just didn't save the fabric for you last time.
Are you still holding a grudge?
- You may look plump, but you're too full.
- You...
I remember the bed that you sold,
it collapsed upon sleeping on it.
What did you say?!
- What's wrong?
- Let's go out and talk if you dare.
Don't fight. Stop fighting.
- Let's go.
- Come out.
- Both of you, let go.
- Come out. Let's go.
Stop arguing, stop fighting.
Everyone, everyone.
- Look, look.
- Let go.
Manager Zhao, Manager Liu.
You've gained some weight.
It fits the trend of our dynasty.
How handsome.
I'm like Manager Zhang and Madam Xu.
I eat a lot but never gain weight.
It's really worrying us.
Stop arguing.
I've been wanting to talk to you both recently.
The seats you sat on, are called chairs.
They're more comfortable than those in the past.
You both are experienced and knowledgeable.
You can tell they're good items, right?
I have the blueprint here.
If you want to do this business, I can teach you.
When you sell them to others,
just give me 20% of the profit.
Well then...
- About this...
- Wait.
But these chairs need cushions on top.
You'll also need fabrics
from Manager Zhang and Madam Xu.
We're friends. We should make money together.
What's the use of quarreling?
Lady Shen makes sense.
Younger Brother, I was wrong.
Please forgive me.
Lady Shen, I'll pay for their meal. How about it?
- Fine.
- All right.
Then... Well...
Aunt, you're so amazing.
I was so scared just now.
[Handsome Shen]
Handsome, I'll see you again tomorrow.
Take care.
Handsome.
- Handsome!
- Handsome!
You must be Widow Li from Liuyun Alley.
Are you also here
to consult about romantic matters?
Yes, that's right.
Handsome,
what are these round things on your face?
They look so intriguing.
In my hometown, they're called sunglasses.
Don't they make me look even more handsome?
Sunglasses?
This...
Look carefully.
How charming!
So handsome!
You truly are inventive, Handsome.
It's like this.
I've been thinking of remarrying,
but I've some concerns.
What concerns? I think you should remarry.
I was married three times
and outlived my husbands.
So what? This is also your ability.
The neighbors said I'm unlucky.
Butcher Zhou proposed to me
but I'm afraid I'll harm him, too.
Why care about the neighbors?
Did they fork out money to raise
Butcher Zhou or you?
- Not at all.
- So, why should you mind them?
You only live once.
Remember, you must broaden your horizon.
Besides, it's not you who's dying.
Why be afraid?
Go ahead and remarry.
I'll take your advice.
Thank you, Handsome.
- Handsome, Handsome.
- Handsome, Handsome.
Everyone, one at a time.
All right.
There are many customers here,
and he's still chatting over there.
Aunt, should I call Dad to come and help?
Never mind.
It's the first time in my life that
I've seen your father so successful.
Who knows how long it'll last? Let him be.
Luckily, we've Older Sister A'Yuan now.
Or else you'd need to help Grandpa
and Grandma to cook, serve,
and even deal with the customers' quarrels.
You'll be busy as a bee.
The sun hat is too big.
[Joy is here]
I'll go back and ask Mom to adjust it.
Lady, this hairpin is so beautiful.
It costs ten coins.
You're so good to me.
We've been open for over ten days.
It has been too tiring.
It's just a hairpin. It matters that you like it.
I came to Yong'an after my parents passed away.
After all these years,
it's my first time shopping in West Market.
Lady, besides my mother,
you're the first person who's so kind to me.
I'll definitely repay you.
Your happiness is the best repayment.
I'll carry it. Let me.
Just admire your hairpin. I'll carry it.
Help me with the hat, then. I'll take it.
Lady, Yunlai Tavern is ahead.
I'm a bit scared.
Didn't you call Feng Li by his name
and say you'd sue him to death?
Why are you scared now?
I was desperate back then
and had no idea how I dared to call his name.
You must be braver in the future.
What can he do to you?
Let's go.
Look.
[Yunlai Tavern]
They put out so many new dishes.
Look.
[Fragrant Cold Jade Skin Noodle]
The name is quite interesting.
[Everywhere Gold Brocade-wrapped Turtle]
These dishes look similar
to those from Shen's Restaurant.
They do look similar.
[Golden Fragrant Light Crisp,
Swift and Fragrant Threads]
Golden Fragrant Light Crisp?
Swift and Fragrant Threads?
Why is there also "No Worries" drink?
- This...
- Everyone, welcome.
Welcome to Yunlai Tavern.
Our dishes definitely can't be
compared to those of small establishments.
For example, this Swift and Fragrant Threads.
Others only use mutton bones for the broth
but we add chicken bones, fish bones
and simmer it for a whole day.
It even includes fresh meat and leafy greens.
And the price is half of what
other people charge.
What?
Just half?
I must give it a try.
- Yes, that's right.
- Welcome, welcome.
Please come in.
Please come in. Come in.
- Welcome.
- Please.
Please come in.
- Welcome, welcome.
- Please come in.
Lady Shen?
How is it? Do you still have the mood
to protect this young maid?
If you ask me,
rush back to your restaurant
and see how many customers are left.
Come, please come in.
Welcome, welcome. Welcome.
Please come in.
Please, please.
[Shen's Restaurant]
Let's drink at my place.
- Sure, let's go.
- Let's go.
[Welcome]
I know, I know.
I found out.
What did you find out?
I know why we have no customers.
Yunlai Tavern copied all our dishes
and is selling them at half price.
How shameless.
- Look at them.
- Let's have a meeting.
Let me say something.
Do you know what moment it is now?
It's a moment of life and death.
It's the darkest hour.
It's...
Where's A'Ji? Where did she go?
Aunt and Sister Yuan went shopping
and haven't come back yet.
This girl. Such an important meeting
and she doesn't participate.
It doesn't matter. Let me continue.
Since we've decided to stay and run a restaurant,
we must fight for our pride.
This isn't the first time
Yunlai Tavern has done this.
They copied my pancakes
with fillings in the past.
They're using dirty tactics to attack us again.
Faced with such malicious competition,
such an unprecedented, cruel business w*r,
- we must win this battle.
- We must win.
My blood is boiling.
All these years, I've developed many dishes,
and they've easily plagiarized them.
We definitely can't tolerate this.
What have you developed?
They're just some ordinary modern era dishes.
It's normal for them to replicate them.
Replicate...
Don't speak without raising your hands
during the meeting.
Mom, don't be angry.
- Don't stoop to his level.
- Grandma.
Dad, I just thought of an idea.
- Quick, tell us.
- Sit.
Since Yunlai Tavern can copy our dishes,
we can also copy theirs.
An eye for an eye.
It makes sense.
I replicated four famous dishes
of the Yunlai Tavern.
Fermented Milk Fish, Chopstick Spring,
Changshan Porridge,
Everywhere Gold Brocade-wrapped Turtle.
Please taste them
and give your valuable feedback.
Respecting the elders and caring for the young
is our traditional virtue.
Yangyang, try them first.
- Yangyang.
- Respecting the elders comes first.
Caring for the young comes after.
Grandma should go first.
I ate too much for breakfast. I'm not hungry now.
But I remember the four dishes from Yunlai
didn't look like this.
Son, you came up with this idea first. Try these.
- I...
- Wait.
Wait a minute.
What do you mean?
- Give your father some dignity.
- Taste it.
Gongcai, pick anything you like.
- Eat.
- Fine, I'll taste them.
I'll try this dish.
I'll have this.
Take a big bite.
Dad, will you lose your teeth?
Enough, don't force yourself.
It's really a bit tough on the teeth.
Well, Dad, I'll try this porridge.
- Look.
- It's good...
Sorry, Dad. I really can't take it anymore.
Your cooking skill is too consistent.
Unless you've practiced many times,
whenever you make a new dish,
it tastes unbearable.
You should show me some respect.
Don't forget how you grew up.
Since young till now, I've been cooking for you.
We spent a string of coins on the ingredients.
How expensive!
Look, it's all wasted.
You haven't even tasted it.
How can you say these dishes are wasted?
Isn't your impression of me
a bit too stereotypical?
Enough.
Let's quickly think of other ways
to deal with Yunlai Tavern.
Come out and help!
We're back.
- Aunt.
- A'Ji's back.
Aunt is finally back.
- Let's go.
- Dad, today's tasting ends here.
[Shen's Restaurant]
We're back.
A'Ji, where have you been all this while?
A'Ji, what's in this burlap sack?
What a big bag.
- Why bring back a big iron pot?
- What?
- This...
- It's the big lethal weapon to defeat Yunlai Tavern.
Aunt, you were gone for so long
just to buy pork and a pot?
After A'Yuan and I finished buying groceries,
we passed by Yunlai's entrance
and found out they copied our dishes.
So, I dragged A'Yuan to order half a sow.
Pork isn't popular here,
and good pork is hard to find.
We left the city to look for this.
Lady Shen said we needed an iron pot.
The blacksmith said the furnace wasn't hot enough.
He couldn't forge the right curvature.
Luckily, Blacksmith Wang from West Market
couldn't endure her provocations
and managed to make it.
I see.
I wondered why it took you two so long
just to buy groceries.
Wait, wait.
I still don't get it.
How did the pork and iron pot become
the big lethal weapon to defeat Yunlai Tavern?
That's right.
Yunlai copied our dishes, used better ingredients,
but set lower prices.
They're trying to squeeze us
out of business with low prices.
Although it's a loss, they can afford it.
Yangyang, I still don't understand
what you all are saying.
You must have faith in your learning ability.
You'll catch up eventually.
It's okay, A'Yuan.
Learn more from me, and you'll slowly understand.
All right, stop bothering her.
A'Ji, continue. I still don't get it.
If we compete in the same way, we can't win.
I said that our aim is to make affordable food.
Let's persist in doing this
and our principle of promoting innovation.
Pork is cheap in this dynasty.
If we use pork to create new dishes,
we can keep the costs extremely low.
But many people don't eat pork.
They think it has a strong odor.
Yes, they don't eat pork here.
A'Yuan, you like rice mixed with lard, right?
I didn't have much money.
- I wasn't too picky or concerned. But others...
- But our business is for the commoners.
If we make the pork delicious
and offer it at a low price to fill one's stomach,
who would refuse?
Wait.
I think I get it now.
You're saying we must remove the strong odor
before we can make the pork tasty.
This iron pot is for that, right?
First, blanch the pork
and stir-fry it in the iron pot with spices.
It should work.
This actually makes sense.
Our original signature dishes
were easy to copy, right?
But by using the unique process with the iron pot
and many ways to cook pork,
they won't be able to copy it anymore.
It makes sense.
Great.
Excellent.
Iron Pot Stir-fried Pork.
In our dynasty, who else can do it?
Who else? Who else can do it?
- No one else.
- Isn't that so?
If we really promote this pork dish,
our restaurant will be amazing.
This is known as making a name in history
and being unique in this dynasty.
Come and have a look.
[Today's new dish: Agate Meat]
Shen's Restaurant created a new dish again!
- A new dish?
- Let's take a look.
Passers-by, don't miss out.
- We're introducing a new dish today, Agate Meat.
- Agate Meat?
Customers who patronize us today
will get a free taste.
It's free!
It smells quite good.
- It's fragrant.
- It smells good.
- I've never seen this before.
- It smells good.
- So fragrant.
- Why does this look like pork?
- It's pork.
- How can you eat pork?
- Can you eat pork?
- That's right.
Pork is so smelly. How can you eat it?
- Exactly.
- Everyone,
Agate Meat is carefully marinated,
and stewed in rich broth,
and then stir-fried to reduce the sauce.
It has completely removed the smell.
It's affordable, and you can eat it at ease.
Stir-fried?
What is stir-fried?
Stir-frying is a special cooking skill
that's unique to our restaurant.
Yes, that's right.
It smells so good.
She's eating it.
She's really eating it.
- Try it.
- There really isn't any odor?
- None at all. It's very delicious.
- Really delicious.
No odor at all.
It's fragrant. Come and try it.
Try some.
Have a taste.
Come, try it.
- I won't eat it.
- Don't leave. Try it.
- Let's go.
- It's really good.
- How can you know if you don't try?
- Try it.
Everyone, try it.
Sir.
- Have some. You'll surely like it.
- Come on.
- Everyone, try it.
- It's marbled with fat and lean meat.
If he won't eat it, I will.
They really don't have the blessings
to eat good food.
Why aren't they eating such delicious food?
Seems like that Shen person has lost her mind.
She even came up with such a silly idea.
Pork has a strong odor.
It's vulgar to the upper classes.
Yet the Shen family placed all their hopes on it.
How absurd. More stupid than pigs.
Yes, that's right.
It seems that Shen's Restaurant will close.
You'll finally get your revenge.
It smells so good.
We've only been open for a short time.
Another day without any business again.
You've no idea how mean the neighbors are.
They said that Yunlai stole our business,
we've gone mad,
and the sows were not spared, either.
The disdain for pork in our dynasty
comes from the top.
The upper classes think that sows eat leftovers.
They think it's cheap. So, they refuse to eat it.
Commoners follow suit.
In fact, they just don't know
how to remove the odor from pork.
That's why pork is unpopular.
To break this notion,
it should be from the top down.
I really think I need a translator.
What does "top down" mean?
A'Yuan, they'll handle these matters.
We just need to pretend to understand.
Eat without any worries.
Actually, I think the top down is harder.
If commoners won't eat it,
how can you get the upper classes to eat it?
I don't have a way, but Older Brother does.
Me?
Older Brother, aren't you now an opinion leader?
[Shen's Restaurant]
- Young Master Shen.
- Young Master Shen.
I didn't expect
he can be that dashing in serving food.
That's right!
Young Master Shen
is so talented and knowledgeable.
I didn't expect him to do food research, too.
That's right.
Young Master Shen, any new theories recently?
- Tell us now.
- That's right.
You flatter me. You're really flattering me.
I'm not that great.
Ladies,
actually, today,
I invited you here to taste my latest creation.
Agate Meat.
Agate?
Young Master Shen, isn't this pork?
How can we eat this?
It's pork.
Sows are bred from eating leftovers.
Pork is very dirty.
- I don't eat pork.
- Neither do I.
[People's wealth may vary but souls are equal.]
Ladies!
I once said at
Princess Royal Fuhui's poetry gathering
that people's wealth may differ
but souls are equal
without distinction in status.
If this is true for humans,
why not for animals and livestock?
Why is it acceptable to eat mutton but not pork?
Lambs are herbivores; their meat is sanitary
whereas pork has a strong odor
and is unpalatable.
- Indeed.
- That's right.
This is not fit for human consumption.
In fact, one should not just listen to others.
One must try things for oneself
to know what Shen's Restaurant's pork tastes like.
- It smells good.
- It smells nice?
It actually smells good.
What do you think? Does it smell good?
Yes.
Everyone says that pork has a strong odor.
This is prejudice.
We must not be biased in our dealings.
Ladies, if you understand
the concept of equality,
it shows that you're not only beautiful,
but also has a heart of sincerity and fairness,
just like pearls.
So, why not give pork a chance?
Prejudice is most undesirable.
For example, if you judge a person
by their appearance,
that is too hasty.
What Young Master Shen said makes sense.
Just like his appearance,
one would never imagine
he's such a talented and benevolent person.
I'm willing to trust him.
She really ate it.
- What do you think?
- The pork is so tender and juicy.
As expected of Young Master Shen.
- She ate it.
- He can turn pork into such a delightful flavor.
Really?
- I want to try it.
- Let me try it.
- Please enjoy.
- I'll give it a try.
It's really delicious.
I've fallen in love with pork.
- Delicious.
- It's good.
- Even the nobles praise their pork.
- Is it really that tasty?
Perhaps there's something extraordinary about it.
It makes me want to taste it, too.
This Agate Meat is bright red,
with a rich flavor.
You're really skillful, Young Master Shen.
You've even made pork so delicious.
Shen's cooking of pork has Ruan Ji's style.
It tastes better than mutton.
You flatter me.
Your fan is also quite stylish.
I've only seen round fans, not a folding fan.
Indeed.
Ladies, anything can be successful
if done with dedication.
Young Master Shen is really amazing!

Fengxia, I need help in the kitchen.
I'm overwhelmed with work.
I'll help you as soon as I'm done here.
[Shen's Resturant]
[Best Chef in Juxian]
How about this? Will it do?
Be very careful. Don't break it.
A customer specially customized it for me.
It should be fine.
[Best Chef in Juxian]
Let's leave it like this for now.
Gongcai, to be honest,
I don't really care about this title.
But the guests are so enthusiastic,
I'll just reluctantly...
- Okay, Dad.
- If I win the Master Chef Competition next spring,
- I'll be the Best Chef in Yong'an.
- Yes, Dad.
Let's not talk about such trifles.
Take care of the important matters first.
What else can you see other than money?
- Well...
- It's always about money.
Is money that important?
Turn around.
- What?
- Turn around.
What for?
- Is it done yet?
- Yes.
Where did you get this from?
Is it enough?
My loans plus interest are all here.
Dad, listen.
Don't make me do this kind of thing again.
I'm now Handsome Shen after all.
I have many fans.
What if they see me? It's bad for my image.
Come on. How many fans do you have?
And "Handsome"?
I'm the Best Chef in Juxian.
And you feel wronged working for me?
No, it's not that.
Gongcai, didn't you look down on me?
When I replicated the dishes from Yunlai Tavern,
the look on your face
when you bit into that quail.
- You were losing your teeth?
- No.
You even spat out the porridge, right?
How about now?
Are you convinced?
- Convinced?
- Yes.
Dad, seriously speaking, that was in the past.
You practiced this dish in the modern era
Gongcai,
I must comment on this.
Don't blame me for not teaching you well.
There's no such thing as a genius in this world.
Only hard work.
I practiced this pork dish 500 times.
Aged by time, weathered by trials,
I finally made it a classic.
It finally became popular in Yong'an.
Right? Of course,
it also made me the Best Chef in Juxian.
Dad, are you saying you don't even listen
to what Mom says now?
Are your mom's words even useful?
When have I ever listened? Just your mom?
Let me tell you! In the whole of Yong'an,
who can control me?
Who else would there be?
Who else can...
The Best Chef in Juxian
doesn't know how to show off well, right?
I feel that Dad has also changed.
He has become a bit...
Pretentious.
Very pretentious.
What? I...
Shen Jianshe,
I noticed that ever since our restaurant opened,
you've changed so much
that I hardly know you anymore.
Is that so?
I think I also need to get to know you again.
I'm Shen Jianshe,
the Best Chef in Juxian.
Are you rebelling, Shen Jianshe?
Best Chef in Juxian?
Do you really think you're a celebrity?
Listen, that's just a title. Do you know that?
Madam, you can pinch Shen Jianshe's waist,
but not the waist... of the Best Chef.
Best Chef in Juxian?
- Pick it up.
- I won't.
Shen Jianshe!
Clean this table.
I-I love cleaning tables.
Rebelling? Are you?
I can clean that table, too.
Lady Shen, why are you
delivering a meal at this hour?
I know Vice Magistrate
is not used to eating at night
but he's so busy lately that I haven't seen him.
There's a dish that I really want him to try.
Liu Chang, let Lady Shen in.
Vice Magistrate.
This is a new dish we've developed.
It's a bit special. We didn't dare to send it
to Jingzhao Prefecture
but we still wanted you to try it.
All right.
You want me to eat this?
Pork trotters are common,
but not all pork trotters can make
the Vice Magistrate of Yong'an lose his composure.
If...
What's wrong?
Disappointed that I don't look ravenous?
No, no. How could I be?
You don't have a prejudice against pork.
You simply ate it.
You can even handle a difficult dish that well.
You're really a good person.
Whoever marries will be truly blessed.
"We'll fully erase all related memories
[Dissolution Letter for Betrothal]
and never mention this again.
Should anyone bring it up again,
it shall be considered...
a violation of human ethics, a moral collapse,
and will be condemned by future generations...
of the Shen family."
It's all right. It's fine. I was blind just now.
I didn't see anything.
You think I'm a good man
but you avoid me like floods and beasts.
What?
Nothing.
Why did you think of doing pork?
Pork is cheap.
We can't compete with Yunlai Tavern's
expensive ingredients.
I think I get what you're saying.
You finally get it.
By selling pork, the commoners
can afford good meat dishes at a low cost.
That's quite a meritorious deed.
That's what I mean.
I've some serious business here.
The competition between you and Yunlai
is not just between you two.
Someone has noticed and they're exaggerating it,
saying that selling pork
might shake the foundation.
If we allow the nobles to eat lowly food,
the commoners might dare
to overstep their bounds.
What "pig talk" are they spouting?
Eating pork can even be elevated to this degree?
"Pig talk"?
Yes.
I think it's "pig talk", too.
Actually, in the imperial court and palace,
a few of them trade
in the West Market under their relatives' names.
Seems like the profits of Yunlai Tavern
didn't just go into their owner's pockets.
Do you hope that we'll win, or that they'll win?
I'll bet on you winning.

♫ A ray of afterglow from the hairpin
falls on the eyebrows ♫
♫ The wind sways,
the bell hangs under the clouds ♫
♫ Each single chime tugs the heart ♫
♫ True love can only be felt,
without being expressed ♫
♫ You’re the obscurity, you’re the clarity ♫
♫ Seeking stars in the fog,
seeing your shadow under the moon ♫
♫ Hesitant to speak, overwhelmed with emotions ♫
♫ Can our path ahead be without suspicions? ♫
♫ I mistook everything I saw as cold as ice ♫
♫ I let the dusk dyes my cheeks
red with embarrassment ♫
♫ Even holding my breath can’t stop ♫
♫ Exposing my burning heart ♫
♫ You’re the noise, you’re the silence ♫
♫ I implicitly embrace you into this life ♫
♫ Hesitant and unsure,
sincerity is hard to deceive ♫
♫ Worldly rules and taboos,
how can I give them up? ♫
♫ Rushing to you, I’m confused
and hopelessly addicted ♫
♫ I still regard it as a tryst ♫
♫ The heart stirs, the wind blows away
the lightest ripples ♫
♫ It’s the hidden place
for thousand entangled emotions ♫
♫ Saved enough of a lifetime,
I rush to greet you across the miles ♫
♫ From now on, the roaming heart
returns to its hometown ♫
♫ To draw near what seems beyond reach ♫
♫ To change life and death, we won’t ever yield ♫
♫ Perhaps the relationship is not ideal ♫
♫ But love will forever ♫
♫ Compensate for our mutual cherishment
and understanding ♫
♫ Saved enough of a lifetime,
I rush to greet you across the miles ♫
♫ From now on, the roaming heart
returns to its hometown ♫
♫ To draw near what seems beyond reach ♫
♫ To change life and death ♫
♫ We won’t ever yield ♫
