[Yummy, Yummy? Yummy!]
[Episode 27]
Councilor Kang will announce the winner
of this year's Master Chef Competition.
Congratulations to Hermit Suxin
[Jinxiu Tavern, Shen's Restaurant]
for being
[Guixiang Restaurant, Yunlai Tavern]
the Master Chef of Yong'an for this year.
[Yuelai Tavern, Hermit Suxin]
Your victory is well-deserved.
[Ruifu Tavern]
Your skill is widely acknowledged.
Excellent!
- Grandpa.
- Yangyang.
- Grandpa.
- Be gentle. Gently.
Sorry, Grandpa.
It's okay.
I knew it wouldn't be so easy
to become the Master Chef.
But, Grandpa,
you're the Master Chef in my heart.
The Master Chef in our hearts.
Really? I'm the Master Chef in your hearts?
Yes. And also in Grandma's heart, right?
Yes, you're the smartest.
Let's quickly tidy up and go to the clinic.
Don't go to the clinic.
I mean it. It will still cost money.
I'm fine.
We must go.
Listen to me.
All right. I'll listen to you.
[Master Chef Competition]
Sixth Brother insisted on
appointing Li Ang as the heir apparent.
Older Brother also wants me
to return to the palace
and caused me to miss the competition.
Stop right there.
Didn't you come here to watch the competition?
What's wrong? Avoiding me when you see me?
It's fine if you want to avoid me.
You don't need to run away.
I order you to get lost.
Useless!
I don't even know what I saw in you.
I never had anything worthy of your attention.
You finally understand now
and completely look down on me.
That is good.
[Master Chef Competition]
You two couples are really a perfect match.
Grandfather, have more food.
All right.
Grandfather wants to match me
with Vice Magistrate Lin,
and even insisted that we stay to have a meal.
What a pain!
Shen Shaoguang, why did you walk so slowly?
What a sin!
This calamity is destined to occur in my life.
Why keep quiet?
Lin Anran, how did you manage
in the official circles?
Show off your eloquence.
Lady Shen, how is your father's hand?
He's fine. He has seen the physician.
That's good.
Third Young Master Liu, you care about Lady Shen.
Why not let your grandfather go
and propose marriage as soon as possible?
Quick, slap me in the face.
How did this old man become the chancellor?
The world is really a huge makeshift troupe.
Oh, Grandfather...
You all...
Dad!
Yangyang.
Yangyang.
I missed you so much.
Yangyang.
It hurts.
If you still hadn't come back,
I wouldn't have wanted you anymore.
Yangyang, I was wrong.
I was wrong.
Stop crying.
I won't leave.
Mom.
Dad.
Shaojie, how did you end up looking like this?
- I...
- You still know how to come back?
Do you know how your mother
and I've been living for the past days?
- Dad...
- Idiot. I...
- All right, enough.
- What a fool!
- Dad, your hand...
- Older Brother just came back.
- Your hand...
- Isn't he back?
Be careful with that.
A'Ji, thank you.
Dad is unbelievable...
Do you know how worried Yangyang was about you?
- I...
- Do you know how worried Dad was about you?
Do you know how worried Mom was about you?
Do you know how worried I was about you?
I'm back. I'm back.
I'm back.
All right, all right.
All right, it's okay now.
I'm back.
I won't leave.
Who is it?
- Who is it?
- It's late. Who is it?
- Go take a look.
- I'll take a look.
- Vice Magistrate?
- Aunt.
It's the Vice Magistrate.
It's fine.
- Vice Magistrate.
- Uncle.
Vice Magistrate.
It's really you.
Did Lu Yun send you here?
Was I that obvious?
You even noticed it.
What happened to you recently?
You even got involved with Lu Yun.
Hurry up and make it clear.
I...
When I left home that day,
[Shen's Restaurant]
I wanted to reach the peak of life
to prove my abilities.
Thus, I arrived in an unfamiliar city,
Fenglin Town,
and encountered the first challenge in my life.
So, although my journey was smooth,
and I overcame obstacles,
luck unfortunately was not on my side.
I've yet to reach the peak of life.
I could only hide in the Yunlai Tavern
to bid my time and endure hardships.
What a pity...
I can see you're getting carried away.
Your rambling was obviously nonsense.
I can tell you're lying.
Do you think I don't know you, Shen Gongcai?
- Tell the truth now.
- What I said is the truth.
- I'll count to three.
- Even if you count,
- what I said is still the truth.
- One.
- Two.
- Wait.
I was wrong.
I didn't make a name for myself at all.
After losing my job,
I kept wandering the streets.
- I really didn't have the dignity to come back.
- What?
So, I took an alias and went
to work at Yunlai Tavern.
They didn't recognize me at all.
I also don't know why they chose me
and wanted me to cause trouble for our family.
But I didn't plan to do anything.
I can't possibly do it.
I didn't expect Father
to injure his hand because of me.
So, those letters you wrote were all fake?
How could you end up in the enemy's camp?
You might as well beg for food.
I did but I failed.
Dad, Dad.
Be careful. Don't hurt your hand again.
Did you notice anything unusual
in Yunlai for the past few days?
Unusual?
That place is a den of evil.
Only one meal a day.
All the dirty and exhausting work is mine.
Everything is abnormal. Nothing is normal.
I'm not talking about this.
Lu Yun opening a tavern might be a cover.
In fact, he's helping the Prince of Zhao
to accumulate wealth and transport goods.
Did you notice anything?
If you put it that way...
Come here.
There's indeed a big amount of goods
going in and out daily at Lu Yun's place.
So many that it's abnormal.
And in every batch of boxes,
there are always a few
that are nailed very tightly.
They are definitely not ingredients.
Otherwise, they would have gone bad
from being stuffed inside there.
There's also something like a totem on the boxes.
Let me draw it for you.
Look. It's roughly like this.
Is this it?
Yes, that's it. It's exactly the same.
It's my duty to ensure
the safety of Juxian Alley.
Is their hideout in Juxian Alley
related to your reversal of the case?
The hideout you mentioned earlier
is the Yunlai Tavern?
You also mentioned the Prince of Zhao.
It seems the Prince of Zhao
is related to the case of your family.
Could it be the Prince of Zhao who did it?
Vice Magistrate,
you're investigating Yunlai Tavern next?
I'm an undercover agent there.
Won't it be more convenient?
Great. I didn't expect that
after muddling through half my life,
I, Shen Shaojie, have the chance
to punish the wicked and give back to society.
Well, this is a good thing. Right?
Vice Magistrate, if I can really help
to clear your family's name,
wouldn't the descendants also remember my name?
Handsome Shen.
My father is just too cool!
Brother Shen, please help me
to infiltrate Yunlai tomorrow.
I need to find out what are in those boxes.
Once it's done, cut all ties with Yunlai.
- That's all?
- That's all.
You don't have any other tasks for me?
Handsome Shen, don't take this matter lightly.
These are our specials for today.
Ladies.
[Yunlai Tavern]
So many bowls
and they let me wash them alone.
Just wait.
Tonight I, Handsome Shen, and the ancestor
will eliminate evil for the people.
Brothers, keep up the good work.
All right, all right.
- Bring that over here.
- All right.
What are they doing?
Here. Give it to me.
Tie it tightly.
All right.
Here's another bag.
Washing dishes is really tiring.
I came out to bask in the sun.
Brother, Brother.
- Moving house?
- Yes.
Leave this physical work to me.
I'm full of strength.
- Can you do it?
- Come, leave it to me.
It's a minor matter.
So heavy!
Shen Shaojie.
Come!
Take care!
Who is it? Who is Shen Shaojie?
Just respond with a yes.
It's... It's too impolite. Well...
Don't you know you've given yourself away?
No, no, no. It's real.
This is more real. Don't pull it.
It hurts.
[Yunlai]
Vice Magistrate, you've impressive skills.
Young Master Lu, you set a trap for me.
You planned this earlier.
Where is Shen Shaojie?
No, no, don't.
Be careful. Pay attention!
Be careful, be careful! Well...
Let's talk it over calmly.
It's not worth it
if we fight and die together, right?
You're scared?
Tell the Vice Magistrate to put down the sword
- and talk calmly.
- No, don't. Put down your sword.
Big Brother,
shouldn't you also put down the knife?
Let's talk calmly. This looks really bad.
Everyone, calm down.
Let him go.
I will take his place.
Yes, yes. Release me first.
Whether you want him can be discussed later.
Keeping me is useless.
It's completely useless.
Big Brother, move the knife away a bit.
Vice Magistrate's life is naturally
more valuable than Shen Shaojie's.
Fine.
Leave the sword and walk over here.
He has to put down the sword?
Big Brother, be careful.
Blades don't have eyes.
Be careful. Be careful.
Great!
Vice Magistrate, let's talk calmly.
D-Don't move. Don't move.
Back off, back off quick. Don't come over here.
Step back.
Don't move.
You're scared now.
Scared, right?
Vice Magistrate, let's talk calmly.
Young Master, over here.
Quick.
It's fine now.
- Quick.
- We're still running?
Vice Magistrate.
No one is here. There's no one.
We should have shaken them off.
The Imperial Guards are everywhere.
Lu Yun wouldn't dare to pursue us anymore.
Vice Magistrate, they transferred out the goods
from the boxes with the totem marks.
What?
But I may be able to help you find those items.
However, we need to be quick
because that scent doesn't last long.
Scent?
Yes.
I saw them suddenly moving items.
Fearing those villains
would move these pieces of evidence,
I stole some strong-smelling spices
from the kitchen
and made them into pouches.
I put some lime inside the pouches
and soaked them in water.
That made it into a self-heating hotpot.
- Moving house?
- Yes.
Leave this physical work to me.
I'm full of strength.
- Can you do it?
- Come, leave it to me.
Leave it to me. It's a minor matter.
Self-heating hotpot?
I'm saying, lime emits heat when mixed with water
which is like cooking those spices.
We follow the scent.
It's just like recognizing a horse by its smell.
It might be possible to find those items.
There are 108 alleys in Yong'an City.
Only a few places are suitable
for building warehouses.
No one lights a fire at night.
Spices from the Western Regions
become pungent after cooking.
It's easy to tell the direction.
That's right.
Brother Shen, you've great wisdom
although you look foolish.
- Well...
- I'm going to look for it.
Liu Chang, escort Brother Shen back.
- Watch out for the Imperial Guards.
- Understood.
Vice Magistrate praised me for having
great wisdom, although I look foolish.
It's kind of embarrassing.
Great wisdom...
Wisdom...
although foolish?
Young Master Shen, let's leave now.
Do I... Do I look very foolish?
What's that smell? Why does it smell so good?
It's nighttime. Who's cooking?
Yes. I'm starving from this work.
- Let's get something to eat.
- Let's go.
Let's eat something.
Let me tell you! I didn't find
what I was good at in the past.
In fact, I'm very likely
a naturally gifted undercover agent
who can act on behalf of justice and punish evil.
Applause.
Dad, are you really telling the truth?
Of course, I'm telling the truth.
When have I ever lied to you?
- Vice Magistrate.
- Young Master.
- Vice Magistrate.
- Vice Magistrate.
- Vice Magistrate, you're back.
- Are you all right?
- Vice Magistrate, are you all right?
- I'm fine.
Did my father really help you?
We really have to thank him this time.
If he didn't use spices as guiding markers,
I wouldn't have been able to find the private warehouse.
- Really?
- Yes, it's true.
Older Brother, you're really amazing this time.
Well done, Shen Gongcai.
You've really amazing this time.
Our ancestral tomb is emitting auspicious smoke.
See? I told you from the start
that I achieved something remarkable,
but you all didn't believe me
and wrongly accused me.
What's all this?
Dad, I'm sorry.
We shouldn't have said that to you just now.
My father is a great hero.
My father is an amazing great hero.
That's right.
Your father is indeed a great hero.
Here comes the great hero! Here I come!
Here I come!
You have to shave it layer by layer.
- You don't have to.
- Shut up.
- Why don't you shave it then?
- My hand is injured.
Stop arguing, Dad. Listen to Mom.
San'er.
San'er, going to the latrine?
Young Master Shen's back.
Why aren't you sleeping?
Let me introduce him to you.
This is Yu San, our newly hired head chef.
He's impressive.
Nice to meet you, San'er.
San'er, this is our son.
Shen...
Go ahead.
Shaojie.
San'er, you just said
Young Master Shen came back.
You know my older brother?
I'm not stupid.
It's late and you're in your courtyard
doing something intimate like shaving his beard.
It's obvious he can't be anyone else. Right?
See, he's a gifted chef and smart, too.
He spotted it right away.
All right. Carry on with what you're doing.
I'll go back and rest first.
All right, go to sleep.
Take care.
I'm telling you, he's very nice.
He looks good, too.
- What's wrong, Mom?
- Let's keep shaving.
There's something wrong with Yu San.
What's wrong?
Lu Yun spotted my older brother immediately
but it's very likely
Older Brother didn't give himself away.
My older brother is dumb.
Are Lu Yun's people really that smart?
Watch your words.
I'm saying it's very likely
there's a mole passing on messages.
Wait. I remember now.
When we were discussing the undercover plan,
could he have overheard us?
Freshly cooked fish and lamb delicacy.
Master and Madam, you were busy for half the day.
Taste it while it's hot.
San'er, your fish looks
exquisite only on the surface.
Take a look inside, it's fishy and stinks.
San'er, the food you cooked...
I don't even know what to say.
Quick, take it away.
It's too smelly.
Young Lady. A'Yuan.
- Want candied hawthorns?
- "The spoken vow was sincere
but I didn't expect him to change his heart.
Since he broke his vow, forget about it."
Yangyang, what does this mean?
This poem means that if someone betrays you,
we part ways immediately
and cut all ties completely.
Let's go.
I know you love spicy food.
I picked the newly grown smartweed
and made this spicy Jade Dew Ball.
Have a taste.
Jade Dew Ball is a dessert.
You can even make it spicy.
Are you from the Fog Capital?
[Old nickname for Chongqing]
Yu San, you suddenly became so enthusiastic.
I'm not used to it.
My Lady, do you all not like me anymore?
How could you think this way?
Recently, Master and Madam Li
were sarcastic and hostile towards me.
They must have been overly tired
and spoke without thinking.
Well, Young Lady ran away as soon as she saw me.
Is it because studying is too tiring?
There have been many beggars lately.
We teach her not to talk to strangers.
She's probably rehearsing with you.
I have been a sl*ve for many years.
You all are the only ones
who regard me as a human being.
You even let me take time off
to watch the Master Chef Competition.
Whatever you have to eat,
you always save a portion for me.
I'm just a sl*ve.
In this world, apart from my mother...
no one will ever treat me so well again.
It's the first time
I have heard you talk about your family.
I didn't know where you are from.
My home is not far from Yong'an.
How about going home for a visit?
- Take another two days...
- No need.
There's someone at home.
It's inconvenient to visit.
I'm also worried the restaurant
may be short-handed.
Let's talk about it later.
Well, I'm going back to work.
Have a taste.
There's someone at home.
It's inconvenient to visit?
Yu San is really a gifted chef.
This kind of fusion dessert tastes really good.
He was ignored by us. He really looked sad.
Such poor mental resilience.
How could he possibly be a professional spy?
From my professional perspective as a chef,
I can tell his cooking skill
is from many years of practice.
Who do you think would teach a spy
this kind of cooking skill?
What were his exact words?
"There's someone at home.
It's inconvenient to visit."
Let me tell you.
Based on my professional analysis
as a genius undercover agent,
there's definitely something wrong
with this sentence.
Think carefully. Isn't it?
That's right.
If it's just family matters
that are hard to talk about,
he could simply say it's inconvenient to visit.
"There's someone at home."
This sentence sounds odd.
It's like someone
is keeping watch over his family.
Did the Prince of Zhao kidnap his family
and force him to be a spy?
Grandma and I watched it in the drama.
That's how it's always acted.
Yes.
Lady Shen, you're looking for me?
Lady Shen?
Lady Shen.
It's so dark.
Why don't you turn on the light?
- Happy Birthday!
- Who is it?
What's in his hand?
It's a knife.
It's a knife.
Oh no! It's getting worse.
He is driven to a dead end.
Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Aunt, I'm scared.
Don't be afraid, Yangyang.
Close your eyes before blowing out the candles.
Close your eyes and you won't be afraid anymore.
Yu San, you are really thoughtful.
You guessed that we were going
to celebrate your birthday
and specially prepared a knife to cut the cake.
- That's amazing.
- Here.
- Come, cut the cake.
- Time to cut the cake.
- Come, cut the cake.
- Cut the cake.
- That's right.
- Great.
- Happy Birthday.
- Happy Birthday.
San'er, do you still remember you wrote
your birthday on your first day at work?
It's today, isn't it?
Your parents are not here
and there's no one to take care of it.
So, we took the liberty
to celebrate your birthday for you.
That's right.
Yu San, actually, you're about
the same age as Gongcai and Jicai.
In our eyes, you are just a child.
A child in our family.
- Yes.
- That's right.
This birthday cake is a custom from our hometown.
So, Older Brother Yu San, don't mind it.
- Don't mind it.
- That's right.
Don't mind it.
You actually knew earlier. Isn't that so?
That's why your behavior
has been so strange lately.
Isn't it so?
- Don't be impulsive.
- Speak. Isn't it so?
- Isn't it so? Isn't it so?
- Don't...
- Don't be impulsive.
- Don't be impulsive.
Don't be impulsive. Don't.
- Yu San, don't be impulsive.
- Don't be impulsive.
- Don't be impulsive.
- Don't be afraid, A'Yuan.
A'Yuan is just a servant.
You're her masters.
You even protect her?
A'Yuan is not a servant. She's our family.
We went to great lengths
to retrieve her sl*ve indenture
so that she can be a real person.
That's just your tactic of
winning people's hearts.
Someone once said they wanted to redeem me.
But in the end,
they still kept my sl*ve indenture...
and used my family to threaten me.
- Mom!
- Grandma!
Grandma.
Feng...
San'er, no matter who has deceived you,
we are who we are.
If you've been deceived once,
you should walk away immediately
rather than doubt those around you.
Do you understand?
You're not going to k*ll me?
I... I am just a sl*ve.
k*ll me...
and nothing will happen to you.
San'er.
You were holding this knife just now.
I can see you really didn't intend to harm us.
This shows you still have your conscience.
If someone is really threatening you,
you should choose to stand with us
to deal with him
instead of risking your young life.
You told them about the plan
to infiltrate Yunlai, right?
Who's threatening you?
Is it the Prince of Zhao?
Yu San.
I used to work at Yunlai.
I know what kind of people they are.
It must have been very tough, right?
Look at me.
Me, I'm Handsome Shen.
You must have heard of my name, right?
This person is the top chef of Juxian Alley.
You've heard of this title, right?
And Vice Magistrate Lin,
he's an upright magistrate.
You've surely heard of his title even more.
Can he still not resolve the matter behind you?
Following us is better than following them.
Isn't that so?
I remember you once said you were a sl*ve.
But you must trust us. We'll think of a solution
to help you solve this problem.
If money can solve this problem,
we'll spend whatever it takes and try our best.
If money can't solve it,
we'll still find a solution.
Can you trust us?
Can you swear on this?
We can.
- We can.
- We can.
- We swear.
- We swear.
We swear.
It was I who betrayed Vice Magistrate Lin
and Young Master Shen.
I was afraid if I didn't make any progress,
they would k*ll my parents.
I have wronged you.
I'm a spy for the Prince of Zhao.
I don't deserve...
I don't deserve to be treated like this by you.
Sorry.
Sorry.
- Child...
- It's fine.
It's all in the past.
It's in the past. It's fine now.
[Prince of Zhao's Mansion]
Why are you still hesitating?
Drink it.
You drank your tea.
Just say what you want to say.
Lu Yun has transferred out
all the salt and iron
we're going to use in advance.
Lin Anran hasn't found anything either,
but Yunlai is no longer safe.
However, rather than abandoning Yunlai,
why not k*ll Lin Yan instead?
Get it settled once and for all.
Lin Yan would even oppose us for the Shen family.
If he finds out about the Cui family...
Since you don't have the heart to do it,
I'll make the decision for you.
Stop.
Why are you still acting impulsively?
It's easy to do. What about the aftermath?
He's a third-rank official in Yong'an.
Do you think you can k*ll him that easily?
In the end, you misjudged Lin Yan.
You thought he had long let go of the past,
and as long as he could live well,
everything would be fine.
But little did you know he has his own plans.
Because you projected
your longing for my older brother onto him
and insisted on keeping him alive,
you've caused this disaster today!
Shut up!
I was too worried. Thus, I spoke out of line.
Please forgive me, Father.
Let me tell you.
k*lling people will cause unnecessary trouble.
His current position is too close to His Majesty.
What we can do is to make him fall,
and fall into a position
where his words don't count.
By then, you can do whatever you want.
Restrain yourself.
Use more of your brain.
Understood.
[Xuanzheng Gate]
Vice Magistrate Lin,
you probably never expected that,
one day, the Appeal Drum
would be sounded against you.
Your Majesty, a good citizen,
Feng Li, from the West Market,
has accused Vice Magistrate Lin Yan
from Jingzhao Prefecture,
of colluding with Cao Rong,
Vice Minister of Justice,
to coerce a confession through t*rture
and render an unjust judgment.
Feng Li, would rather offend the superior,
and be subjected to corporal punishment,
in order to redress the injustice.
[Submitted by Imperial Censor Luo Zhi]
How do you explain this?
Your Majesty, Feng Li poisoned the food
in Shen's Restaurant in Juxian Alley last year.
The Shen family and I are cousins.
Upon hearing this, in strict accordance
with the Six Classic Governance Codes,
I sent him to the Ministry of Justice
for discussion and judgment.
How could I have colluded with Vice Minister Cao?
Your Majesty,
testimonials and physical evidence
were presented for this case.
The judgment was rendered
strictly according to the law.
Hence, the criminal Feng Li
fled in fear to escape punishment.
Since Feng Li has returned to Yong'an,
and made contact with you, Imperial Censor Luo,
why didn't you hand over
the villain to the authorities,
but instead allowed him
to falsely accuse Vice Magistrate Lin?
What is your real intention?
It's a minor dispute between
the merchants in the West Market.
If it weren't for Vice Magistrate Lin
mediating between them,
how could it bypass the Market Office
and reach the Ministry of Justice?
Could it be that you are protecting them
because the person involved
is a relative of Vice Magistrate Lin?
West Market is a prime location.
Poisoning is a serious matter.
How could it be considered a minor case?
It used to be under the jurisdiction
of the Market Office.
The West Market was a complete mess.
After this case was heavily sentenced,
those merchants became much more orderly.
How many errands has Jingzhao Prefecture
handled beyond the Market Office?
How almighty.
I also heard, before the Lantern Festival ended,
Jingzhao Prefecture ordered people to be on duty
and even encouraged the commoners
to beat the Appeal Drum.
The commoners in the capital now
only trust Jingzhao Prefecture.
Perhaps, in their eyes,
even if it were personally judged
by His Majesty,
it can't be compared to
a single word from Vice Magistrate Lin.
That's true.
How could he say that?
But that makes sense.

and swiftly cut down the ancestral rules ♫
♫ Why not confess my sudden feelings for you? ♫
♫ Say it’s from the future ♫
♫ Travelling through time and space ♫
♫ From nothing to something,
I stumbled into the warmth realities of life ♫
♫ Sir, if you’re also captivated ♫
♫ Can we hold hands and walk the same path?
Please don’t refuse me♫
♫ Perhaps everything
will vanish instantly like a mirage ♫
♫ Or perhaps, a master will climb the stairs
to treat his guests in a banquet ♫
♫ Satisfying the appetite
is known as the right thing to do ♫
♫ Whether it’s love, hatred, twists and turns ♫
♫ You’ve stirred up the waves in the world ♫
♫ Can I bear to let the encounter be in vain? ♫
♫ Today, I’ll enjoy the wine in Xinfeng
while travelling in the mortal world ♫
♫ Look at the lanterns,
listen to the zither and wind ♫
♫ Guest, please take a seat ♫
♫ Where's there a beginning, there's an ending ♫
