Feifan

Father will return after delivering the military pay.

Father

Let Ping'an take people for this.

Why do you need to go yourself?

No, I can't.

What if someone tampers with it?

I must deliver it myself.

Father

We need manpower for coal mining now.

I heard that retired wounded soldiers

mostly live hard lives.

Instead of hiring outsiders,

why not use our own people?

Let them earn more income

to help their families.

That's great.

My son has grown up.

He cares for the soldiers.

On behalf of those old and wounded,

thank you.

I'm leaving.

Take care, Father.

Young Duke

It's late at night.

Why aren't you sleeping?

Don't tell me you're lost again.

I think these flowers are beautiful.

Admiring flowers.

Even prettier than those in the palace.

Young Duke

Young Duke

The mine collapsed.

Luckily, it happened at night.

No workers were mining below.

How could such a good mine

collapse so suddenly?

How is Celestial Star Tower's investigation?

The mastermind is well hidden.

But

there are clues suggesting

the Governor of Shu Province massacre

may be linked to Celestial Star Tower.

Keep investigating.

Yes.

Young Duke

Fan Lou's manager says monthly pay wasn't given.

The staff are demanding to report it.

Let's go.

Go.

Hurry, move! Go!

Go, hurry up, move!

What's going on?

You all, leave.

What are you doing?

What are you up to?

Young Duke, stop!

You're finally here, Young Duke Shi.

You're finally here.

Young Duke

Please don't make things hard for us poor folks.

That's right.

We can't even put food on the table.

Exactly.

Zhi'er

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, Young Duke.

Go, go, go.

You can't just leave like this, why?

Why not leave? Why?

You can't just leave.

If we stay, we'll starve here.

That's right.

Can't leave.

Come back, everyone.

You've all worked at Fan Lou for years.

Your feelings for Fan Lou are deeper than mine.

Besides, the monthly pay here

is higher than other restaurants.

Trust me.

This is only temporary.

How can we trust that?

Fan Lou has a prime location,

but its positioning is too high-end.

It keeps many customers away.

Fan Lou needs reform.

If prices are lower,

we'll attract more guests.

Please think it over carefully.

I, Shi Feifan, promise you all

if monthly pay isn't given,

you'll get triple compensation.

Triple?

Triple?

That's a lot.

Yeah, that's too much.

Young Duke

We don't have that much silver.

I'll stay.

A prodigal's return is priceless.

I'll stay too.

Who's a prodigal?

Our Young Duke has long reformed.

Go.

Well...

Young Duke, you said to reform...

Do you have a good plan?

Close for one day.

Why close again?

Closed.

Yeah.

Xinjiang Big Plate Chicken.

No.

Northeast BBQ.

Not suitable either.

Peking Duck.

We don't have the skills.

What should we make?

What to make, what to give?

What should we give?

What are you muttering about?

Young Duke

I have a friend...

The girl he likes has a birthday.

What do you think he should give her?

Shuang'er

Right.

No, no, not her.

I know what you're thinking when you look away.

Birthday.

Got it!

What's this?

Here it comes!

Slow down.

Young Duke, what's this?

Why are you all standing there?

Sit down and eat.

Eat.

Y-Young Duke

This...

This

This... this is

This

Don't worry.

This isn't a farewell meal.

Internal tasting.

Tasting.

Sit, sit, sit.

Try... try the food.

Sit, sit, sit. Sit down.

Sit, sit, sit.

Delicious.

Even tastier than imperial cuisine.

Well...

I mean, better than fish.

Even tastier than eel.

Young Duke, that's not fair.

I want some too.

Even eating can't shut you up.

Hot, hot, hot!

Delicious.

Hurry, try it. Try it.

Great, come on, come on.

Shuang'er, you try it too.

Try it, try it.

Thank you, Young Duke.

Try this one.

Delicious.

Come on, come on.

Smells amazing.

Delicious, delicious.

Young Duke.

I've never had food this good.

What's this dish called?

A catchy name.

Congratulations!

Never seen this before.

Yes.

Good, good.

Young Duke.

Shi Fu Lao Hot Pot just got popular.

And now they're copying us already.

Copying, huh?

Then let's do something they can't.
