Chef Fang

Episode 21

Have some tea and rest a bit.

What are you doing?

It’s a secret.

Honey.

It’s scary!

Smells good.

Why are you laughing?

I thought

after all the cooking and cleaning,

your hands would wrinkle.

Surprisingly,

your hands

are so

delicate.

Honey,

why you've never painted your nails?

Many paint their nails red. It's tacky.

And the nail polish might be spread

to fingers.

I don’t like that.

Little Stammer.

Yo...Yo...Young Master,

You...you...

Yes, yes.

I asked for you.

Fetch an egg.

No yolk, only the egg white.

Bring me some flowers, too.

The bright ones.

Go ahead.

Go.

Just wait and see.

Yo...Young Master,

here are the egg white and flowers.

Put them there.

Are they for eating?

What’s wrong with the yolk? It’s delicious.

Take your mind off of the food.

Are you a pig?

Alright. Your job is done. You may leave.

You aren’t going to eat them?

Come here, honey.

Give me your hand.

Done.

This one, too.

The egg white isn’t waterproof or sticky enough,

or it’ll look better.

Let me think of other ways.

You're so caring.

Of course.

You're my wife.

That’s what I should do.

By the way, Luan is leaving tomorrow.

I want to see her off.

Magistrate Shen has never wronged anyone.

He can solve any cases

I might not be able to come back again.

Just stay if you don’t want to leave.

Let’s go.

Miss Luan.

Wait!

Mr. Shen. Mrs. Shen.

Are you leaving?

The case’s closed.

Zhang Wenhai will treat you well.

Why can’t you stay?

Broken hearts can’t be mended.

You two went through so much together.

You and Zhang Wenhai

have finally been vindicated.

Why not cherish what you have?

I've seen through him.

Men can be heartless.

If harm could be undone,

there wouldn't be so many tragedies.

What’s your plan next?

Don't know. All I want is to

start afresh in a new place.

Little Stammer.

My lady.

I made some food

for you to eat on the way.

Here’s some silver, too.

I can’t take it. You're too kind.

I can’t accept this.

You girls

will be on your own.

This can make your life easier.

Yes. Take it.

It’s the least we can offer.

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Shen.

Farewell.

Dongxiang

Let’s go back.

I still don’t understand

why they insist on leaving?

Those scholars have agreed to marry them.

Broken hearts can’t be mended.

Listen,

when you meet a girl you like,

don’t ever hurt her.

Once she leaves,

you’ll never get her back.

You sound more and more like father.

Do I?

Oh, no, I must be sick.

It just came to me

that you read medical books for days, didn’t you?

According to your agreement with Master Cang,

he’ll test you today.

Oh, no, crap!

Hurry up, Little Stammer.

We need to go back. Speed up.

Dongxiang

“Books are still there. Keep reciting them”.

He isn’t back yet?

Reciting more books?

What’s he working on lately?

Tying up some loose ends, perhaps.

Let’s go get the books first.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

What is it about?

I bet

he's drinking somewhere.

I know.

How did you know? I didn’t tell you.

You don’t need to.

What's wrong?

It’s still early.

Let’s eat out before going back.

What do you want to eat?

I’ll buy the ingredients to cook.

You’re tired enough. Let’s go to the restaurant.

That's too expensive. Don't waste money.

Someone is following us.

Really? Who?

You didn’t smell anything? Try again.

What smell? Face powder?

Isn’t it familiar?

She’s behind us the whole time.

Fang Yao? Why is she doing this?

I don't know, nor do I care.

Let’s go to the restaurant.

They're going to the restaurant, Miss.

Cloud House

Shen Yong has no manners.

He puts his arm around her. So shameless.

Although they're married,

that’s crossed the line.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen, this way, please.

Why didn’t you

bring me a message in advance

so that I could make preparations?

We didn’t plan to come.

You came at the right time.

I just received two bottles of Gold Dew Wine.

I planned to drink it myself,

but I’m willing to share it with you.

That’s too kind of you.

I’m honored to have you here.

My cooking isn’t half as good as Mrs. Shen’s.

If you can teach me some skills,

my business will be booming.

Are you willing to do me this favor?

I’m not as good as you say,

but we can learn from each other.

Thank you so much.

What do you want to order?

Spicy river snails. They go best with the wine.

OK. We’d like some river snails

and a pot of your fine wine.

Give me a minute. I’ll go cook.

You’re in charge now.

I thought you’re away from the stove.

If it were others,

I’d ask the chef to cook,

but you aren’t anyone.

Of course I need to do it myself.

Thank you.

They also came, honey.

There’s something wrong with those rich girls.

They’re stubborn. The educated ones

are even worse.

Heaven knows what’s in their mind.

You don’t like them at all?

They're pretentious and annoying.

Cloud House

Cheers.

This way, please, ladies.

What would you like to order?

A pot of Longjing tea

and the best snacks you have.

OK. Be right back.

Honey,

Chef Jia isn’t too bad.

Snails he made are good.

The snails are big and fresh.

I still think

yours are better.

They’re tastier.

That’s because

he didn’t soak the snails in the salt water

to remove the dirt smell.

-Your food.
-The seasoning and the sauce

in the meat

aren’t enough to cover that.

Please enjoy.

That’s why they taste a bit bland.

Cooking snails is surprisingly complicated.

Thank goodness that I married you,

or my life would be in vain.

You're exaggerating things again.

Cheers.

Vulgar!

Let’s go.

Take care.

Are we leaving, too?

They seem to be a good match.

I agree.

Fang Yishao isn’t well-bred, either,

just enough to marry Shen Yong.

You're different. You deserve a gentleman.

Are you alright, Miss?

Let’s go with them.

Again? Miss,

why do you care so much about them?

They look fun.

They're different from what I imagined.

Why are they still following us?

Come on! What are they up to?

Let’s go ask them. This must end.

Take these.

They turned right.

Who are you? Why are you following us?

We aren’t. We're going somewhere else.

This road isn’t yours.

Others can also take it.

Hey, what are you doing?

Step back.

Stop it. Stay away from her.

This place isn’t yours.

Here is too narrow.

I’m stretching my body.

What’s wrong with that?

Let’s go, Miss.

He’s a shameless pervert. Let's go.

Don’t be mad.

I only did that

to drive them away.

I know,

but you could’ve talked to them.

Why did you pretend to be a pervert?

That’s exactly what they want.

I did that to satisfy them. That Fang Yao

thought of me as a hood

and refused to marry me

and let you be her replacement.

Now, they all say I’ve improved

and become a better man.

I guess they regret it a little bit.

She’s blind.

She should regret it.

I don’t care if she’s regretful.

That’s none of my business.

Girls like her

are all spoiled.

They think all good things should belong to them.

What she did

was to see if I was really bad.

Seeing how well I treated you today,

she certainly had doubts.

But after what I did,

no matter how good I am to you,

she’d think I don’t deserve her.

That way,

she’s convinced that she dodged a bullet

and will be willing to marry someone else.

Problem solved.

I see.

You have a big heart,

but what if they talk behind your back?

Let them be.

People have done that all the time.

I don't care what they think.

Only your opinion matters.

Of course. You’re the best in my eyes.

Let’s go home.

They’ve left, Miss.

Municipal Government of Dongxiang

Sir.

Father.

You’re sweating heavily.

What happened outside?

Victims of disaster-hit areas

robbed the locals.

We ran a few blocks

to catch them all.

Victims?

I didn’t know of any disasters.

Where are they from?

Don’t know.

They don’t seem to be repeat offenders

but did this out of hunger.

We’ve arrested them all

but put them in prison.

I had guards buy buns for them.

I feel pity for them.

They were eating while crying.

Something bad might’ve happened.

I’ll ask them after they finish eating.

How many are they?

20 at least.

Had a village been struck,

more people would've come.

Dongxiang is wealthy

and well-governed.

The government would certainly help them.

Why did they rob people in the street?

That’s still unknown.

Crabs! They’re alive!

Still moving!

-I’m scared.
-Me, too.

Come here.

Take this.

Go away!

Take it.

My lady.

Enough. Stop playing.

You two clean the crabs

and split them into two portions.

I’ll make two dishes.

I can’t.

Me neither.

Look at you.

Alright. Can you do it, Dongdong?

You two follow me.

Peel the oranges like this.

What for?

I’ll make crab-stuffed oranges.

Take the crab meat out.

Mix it with the orange juice

and put it back in the orange to steam it.

Then it’s done.

A feast for stomachs and eyes.

You're brilliant, my lady!

What about the remaining crabs?

I’ll fry them.

How long does it take?

A few hours.

Yeah! We’ll have new dishes to eat.

What can you do other than eating?

Ouch!

You pinched me!

I’ll eat you all!

Mencius Gaozi

Is it good?

Yeah, it is.

Father!

Let me see.

What?

I’m only reading this during breaks.

I don’t remember buying this kind of book.

Where did you get it?

If Master found the book,

leave me out of it.

Rest assured.

Shen Jie gave it to me.

He forced me to take it. I didn’t want to.

Go take a walk if you're tied

to expand your horizons.

It’s more useful

than reading this.

What?

Are you alright, father? Are you sick?

Nonsense. I’m perfectly fine.

You aren’t sick? Are you haunted?

Knock it off!

You aren't young anymore. Stop messing around.

How should I tell our ancestors?

That's more like you. You scared me.

Why are you here, father?

Nothing.

That brat!

He said I’m haunted!

He’s the crazy one.

Master.

You have a visitor, master.

Who is it?

Mr. Fang Shou.

In-law? Where is he?

Drinking tea in the front hall.

Honey, our in-law came. Do you want to see him?

Who?

Mr. Fang Shou.

No. He’s not our in-law.

What's wrong? Are you still mad at him?

How could I not?

On the wedding day,

none of the Fangs came.

Luckily, we had enough friends and relatives

present, or we’d be a laughing stock.

He’s ridiculous.

Originally, I thought he was

slightly unhappy with the marriage.

Who knew he’d be so bald

and switch the bride?

Exactly.

He could've told us if he didn’t

want this marriage, yet he tricked us.

Thank goodness, Yishao is a good girl, otherwise,

Yong’s life would be ruined.

I’m mad whenever I think of this.

I won’t see him.

Fine, it’s up to you. Don’t be upset.

I’ll make him leave.

He won't come back ever again.

Shitou. Shitou.

I’m here, my lady.

Tell Yong and Yishao to come here.

Your Excellency.

Mr. Fang.

Sit.

Master,

Mrs. Shen can’t come because she’s a bit unwell.

Oh, is it serious?

No. She’s just a bit tired.

Tell Yong and Yishao to stay with her.

Yishao can make her feel better.

Yes, I will.

Mr. Fang.

Some trick you played.

You found out, sir.

You tell me.

How is that girl?

Good. Very good.

That’s a relief. I’m glad to hear that.

We're here, mother.

Come here, dear.

Have a seat.

What are you sewing, mother?

A snow and plum blossom pattern.

This can be embroidered on your dress.

It's pretty.

Why did you ask us here, mother?

Must I have a reason?

Of course not.

I picked a few patterns for you.

Choose whatever you like

and bring them to the tailor's

to make new dresses.

Shitou. Shitou.

Yes, my lady.

Bring her to have a look

at the patterns I chose.

Yes, I will.

I’ll be back later, mother.

Yong,

your father-in-law Fang Shou came.

Father-in-law?

Technically, he isn’t.

I know you’re smart.

Where’s father?

He’s chatting with him in the front hall.

You want me to join them?

Your father is straightening things out with him.

You can go if you want.

I only did this because I adored my daughter.

Please forgive me.

Mr. Fang, without you,

my son wouldn’t have

married such a wonderful girl.

Had he married someone else,

he’d have probably become

a bully his whole life.

So, I should thank you.

I won’t blame you. Am I right?

Master, young master is here.

Father. Mr. Fang.

I’m glad you came.

Your mother is sick. I’ll go check on her.

You stay and keep Mr. Fang company.

OK.

Have a seat, Mr. Fang.

Young Master.

Is Yishao OK?

She’s good. We have a family rule

that all Shens can only marry one woman.

I’m lucky to have Yishao.

Thank you a ton.

That's good.

But

what you did is despicable.

You should've told her.

How could you knock her out?

Your daughter is the apple of your eye,

and so is Yishao.

I acted on impulse.

Liar!

You planned it long ago.

No, I swear I didn’t.

I’m telling the truth.

You can beat me if you're mad.

Oh, save it!

If you were a few years younger,

I’d probably do that.

I know I made a huge mistake

and I owe Yishao an apology,

so I’m here to apologize.

She...

She can be my daughter if she wants.

Having one daughter isn’t enough

and you want more?

Forget about it.

Yishao has me and my parents.

You just take care of your own daughter.

Let’s pretend nothing happened

and go our separate ways.

Young Master.

Honey,

what are you cooking? Smells good.

Rice with green beans and bacon.

What was on your mind? You seemed lost.

Mother said Mr., my father...

Alright. No need to hide it for him.

He already confessed.

You're too kind. If it were me,

I’d ask him to pay a ton.

Come with me, darling.

So much money. You asked for it?

He gave it to me as my dowry.

Should I give it back?

Give it back? Why?

This is the dowry you brought into the Shen’s.

We also gave the Fangs betrothal presents.

Father and mother also knew?

They aren’t stupid.

They found out shortly after you came.

Did they say anything?

They did.

They said if I don’t treat you well,

they’ll kill me.
