Chef Fang

Episode 6

Mrs. Shen.

Mother, mind your steps.

- Yong, Yishao, I’m a bit tired. - Mother.

I wanna get back for some break.

You should get back as well.

Come on. Let’s go find father.

You talk to him. I’ll cook some food.

How is it possible?

I’ve never

talked to him alone seriously.

What should I do if he doesn’t believe me?

He will.

Just tell him the truth.

He will believe you.

Moreover, you can show him the ring.

But…

What?

Come back as soon as possible. I’ll make food for you.

Get out. All of you.

Mr. Shen.

My father gets mad again?

There’s no clue for the case of the restaurant.

Case can’t be solved. He is impatient of course.

You got something important?

You’d better not get in if nothing important.

Is Yong outside?

Yeah.

My number is up.

There you are.

We’ve just come back.

Yishao and I met something strange in the Nunnery.

What’s it?

On the mountain behind Changle Nunnery,

we saw a blank tombstone.

Before the tombstone,

we found this.

It’s just a common ring.

What’s so strange?

It’s not common at all.

Yishao and I saw the ring before.

It’s the one the restaurant owner used to wear.

Is it true?

Yeah.

Yishao and I went to the restaurant to cook dishes.

The owner carelessly

hit the ring on the cooking bench and broke it.

It’s Yishao who wrapped the gold thread.

You sure?

Yeah.

Jie.

Father.

Yong, go ahead.

Smells good.

It’s delicious.

Wow. Smells great.

It also looks beautiful.

Look at that one.

Her Ladyship is so talented in cooking.

You’re right.

Lian. Get a barrel of well water for me.

OK.

Excuse me.

Who can help me peel the chestnuts?

I will do it!

Mine.

You…

You… Get out of here.

Hurry.

Yishao.

I’ve smelled the dishes.

They smell delicious. What are they?

Three hot dishes, three cold dishes,

two soups, two snacks,

a hot clay pot style, and a fried rice.

Such a big meal.

Yesterday, we went to the Nunnery.

All I prepared were vegetarian.

So today, all I prepare are meat.

Twelve dishes

of chicken, fish, pork, and duck meat.

I call it “Imperial Meat Sixteen Treasures”

It sounds awesome.

My Lady. Here’s the water.

Put it over there.

Alright.

Lian, peel those chestnuts.

OK.

Yishao.

What are you cooking?

I’m cooking Yunnan style cold boiled chicken.

The other two are shredded tripe with chili sauce
and spicy and hot beef.

The three cold dishes are sour and spicy.

I also cooked three hot dishes.

Stewed mutton with taro.

Spiced baked chicken in salt with black bean.

Stuffy beef ball with shallot.

Crispy ball, tender beef and spicy shallot.

Yummy.

Really delicious.

My lady, the chestnuts are ready.

OK, put it on the table over there.

What’s this?

Beef and egg in clay pot with Huadiao Wine.

And a snack. Sticky rice chicken with chestnuts.

Come on. Try it. Be careful. It’s hot.

Delicious.

Anything else?

Two soups.

Clear duck soup.

Beef soup.

And a port rib pot.

The staple food is fried rice with meat and egg.

Her Ladyship is really good at cooking.

Of course.

Dishes are ready.

Time for lunch.

Allow me.

Allow me.

I want this.

Hurry.

Hey. They left nothing for me.

Father.

What’s wrong?

A mad monk stabbed people in Changle Nunnery.

Is it the monk Yong mentioned?

It should be.

Take several guards

to catch the mad monk back.

Check the place he lives.

Try to find some clues.

Yes.

Hey.

You just came back from Changle Nunnery.

Why are you here instead of back for a break?

What’s with the sigh?

I’m afraid it’s a false sign.

What’s wrong?

Haha…

How can you still laugh?

I burnt the incense in vain yesterday.

Merciful Buddha.

Don’t talk profanity.

The Buddha would be unhappy.

Merciful Buddha. Excuse me.

Merciful Buddha. Merciful Buddha.

We can’t blame them for this.

It may take time.

I know. I’m just let down.

I feel empty.

Oh. My baby grandson.

I’m so full.

I can’t eat anymore.

Just one bite.

Dried haw will help digestion.

Come on. Eat some.

So sour.

Yong, what did father tell you?

I forgot to tell you.

He praised me and gave me ten taels of silver.

It’s the first time for me.

I’ve told you that you are so clever

and father wouldn’t be angry with you.

I almost forgot.

Yong.

Listen, don’t come over.

I’ve got something important. Back soon.

Don’t rush. Mind your stomach.

Father gave me ten taels.

Five for a gift for Yishao.

Five for other use.

No. No. Maybe five is not enough for the gift.

Seven for the gift. Three for myself.

I won’t come out for fun recently.

It wouldn’t help if I just keep the silver.

Mr. Shen.

What are you doing here?

What can I do for you?

I’d like to buy a gold pendant, for a girl.

Do you have any good stuff? Show me some.

Yeah. Sure. Who is the girl?

None of your business.

Just show me some.

Is that for a young lady?

Yep.

A young lady of sixteen to seventeen.

Mr. Shen, the pendant is not a good choice.

It’s hidden

in the clothes and no one can see it.

You’d better buy a gold hairpin.

Gold hairpin?

My dad bought a gold hairpin for my mother.

Gold hairpin is alright.

Could you please show me some?

Fine. Please take a seat over there.

Please be seated.

Mr. Shen.

Here you are.

These are all prime gold hairpins.

Take a look at them.

It’s so gaudy.

How could it be?

It’s gorgeous and unique.

It looks really nice on young girls.

No.

What?

Is there anything

that fits for a decent lady?

Respectable

and adorable.

Is it for Mrs. Shen?

Yes.

Oh. Why didn’t you tell me at the beginning?

I do have some.

Wait a second.

Here, Mr. Shen.

Take a look at this one.

How’s it?

It’s good. How much?

It’s just twenty taels.

Twenty?

Hey.

Mr. Shen,

look.

Look at the craft

and the weight.

It’s absolutely a top one.

But it’s too expensive.

Can you give me a discount?

Mr. Shen,

it’s really a good offer.

If I don’t want to sell it,

I wouldn’t take it out.

I’m telling you the truth.

Believe me.

Mr. Shen, just about enough.

Should I give it to her directly

or pretending inadvertently?

Forget it.

I’d go and see what’s for dinner.

You look awesome.

Yong, welcome back.

Yishao, what are you cooking?

These are meat I didn’t use at noon.

I’m putting them together and chopping them.

It’s for steamed mince in viviparous shell.

What’s steamed mince in viviparous shell?

I never eat it.

Take the meat in the viviparous shell out.

Mince the meat with the chopped meat and mushroom.

Add some scallion, ginger and sesame.

Put it back into the viviparous shell,

steam them,

then it’ll be finished by adding some sauce.

I’ve already steamed some. It’s not done yet.

Look, that’s it.

It’s really fresh.

My lady, Mrs. Shen asked you to her.

Mother, you want to see me?

Yishao. Come on.

You’ve married Yong for so long.

I never sent you anything as a gift.

I’d worn these when I was young.

I’ll give them to you if you don’t mind.

Mother. I…

Mother, are all these for me?

Thank you so much.

So beautiful.

You like it?

It’s so easy to make her happy.

Anyway, those don’t look as good as what I bought.

The monk is mad. How will he testify for himself?

Right.

What’s the matter?

Supreme is the law

Magistrate Shen, here’s the suspect.

What’s your name?

Is he the mad monk in Changle Nunnery?

Yeah. The one Abbess Jingyi took in.

Shen Jie, when you caught him in Changle Nunnery,

have you found any clues?

Yeah.

A case of silver taels and bloodstained clothes.

Present them.

Monk.

Did you kill the restaurant owner?

Be honest with me.

Magistrate Shen. He looks mad.

How about we find a physician for him?

Well. Take him away.

Have the best physician in the city to see

whether he is real mad

or pretending.

Yes.

Take him away.

Yes.

Get up. Go.

What will do?

Is he really mad or not?

He must be pretending.

They have evidence. It’s killing for money.

Here you are.

Father.

Sit down.

Thanks to your help.

Or, we wouldn’t have the clues so fast.

But father, what makes you decide so fast?

You even caught him.

It’s a coincidence. Someone just reported a case.

A mad monk in Changle Nunnery

hurt people with a knife.

Magistrate Shen asked me to take him back.

We searched the place he lives.

Did he hurt people and the restaurant owner

because of his madness?

How is it possible?

How could a mad know to go in by the side door,

kill, rob, get out by the side door,

and hide silver below the bed?

It doesn’t make sense.

Yeah. Yong is so clever.

Yong is right.

I think so.

Maybe,

someone is framing him.

Father, are you praising me?

What’s wrong with that?

Nothing.

You’ve praised me twice within the day.

I’m not very used to it.

Jie.

Let’s go.

To Changle Nunnery.

Father,

can we go with you?

We are handling the case. What will you do?

Father, we can take them.

Maybe there will be some new clues.

Alright, you can come.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

My lady, will you make dinner for me?

Yes.

Let’s go.

Yong, don’t knock.

Take us

to the blank tombstone you mentioned.

OK.

It’s just ahead.

Yong.

Why’s there the smell of incense and candles?

Someone is burning incense?

It’s so late. Maybe it’s a person in the know.

Nobody’s here.

If someone left, I could have noticed.

Nobody? Then who lit the candles?

Is there really a ghost?

Nonsense.

There are no ghosts in the world.

Obviously, it’s someone deliberately mystifying.

I’ll look around.

Sit down.

Come and take a look.

What’s wrong, father?

Blood for blood.

Magistrate Shen.

Jie, you scared me.

Have you seen someone?

No.

What’s your opinion?

It’s abnormal.

I think we should ask Abbess Jingyi.

Yong, father is so awe-inspiring.

It’s no big deal.

Who’s there?

Who?

Father, what did you see?

Officer, what’s the matter again?

Is Abbess Jingyi in?

This is the Magistrate Shen. We have questions to ask.

She is in the meditation room. Come in, please.

Master, Magistrate Shen is here.

Take them in.

Yes.

Abbess Jingyi, sorry to disturb you.

We have something important.

Please go ahead.

It’s about the mad monk

and the blank tombstone on the mountain behind.

Which one do you want to know first?

You know both?

In the rough.

Is there any relationship between the two?

You are of wisdom.

Please tell us as you meant to.

Alright.

Let’s start from the blank tombstone

of mountain behind.

It was built for a woman.

Poor thing. She met the wrong man

and lived a tragic life.

She died so young.

It’s really pathetic.

What’s pathetic?

Who knows what she said is true or not?

Don’t talk nonsense.

She is a senior nun.

Will a senior nun keep a monk in the Nunnery?

They are indeed a loving couple.

Excuse us.

They’re still young.

They haven’t married for long.

Pardon them for any impoliteness.

Couples are companions for the life.

It’s right to cherish each other.

Abbess Jingyi, please continue.

OK.

That girl

had a wealthy and influential family.

Why are you sighing?

Cousin.

Ling has told me that.

You already know?

What’s your plan?

I’m unwilling.

But it’s arranged by my parents,

I have no choice.

Cousin.

The pouch I just finished is for you.

Please take it if you don’t mind.

From now on,

I’m afraid we may have no chance to meet.

Don’t be sad.

I’ve explained to your father

and asked him to betroth you to me.

Really?

What did he say?

He agreed.

When I succeed in the royal examination,

he will betroth you to me.

Please wait for me.

Then what?

Did he succeed in the examination?

He did.

That’s a good thing.

What do you mean by the wrong man?

He broke his promise

and didn’t come back to marry her?

He did come back.

But it was three years later.

The destiny makes fools of the people.

In three years,

everything is possible.

Hurry.

Small.

All mine.

Come on, hurry.

He’s here again. Shall we do it?

He’s already here.

We can’t waste the chance.

Bro, you want to marry Miss Qiao.

Now, you can get what you want.

Give all these to him.

OK.

OK.

Hurry. Hurry.

Get out of the way.

Casino

Leave here. Get back.

Get out.

Go away.

My girl, I’m sorry for you.

I’m a jerk.

It’s my fault.

In memory of

Darling.

Who are you? Who allows you here?

I’m here for my wife

and offer incense to my father-in-law.

Nonsense.

My lady has never been betrothed to you.

Mr. Qiao entrusted

both the house and his daughter to me

before his death.

What are you doing?

Stand aside.

Darling.

My lady!

Darling.

My lady! My lady!

Haha…

He’s gone too far.

Why did the scholar leave for so long?

When he went for the examination,

he met a lot of problems.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so late.

What a poor girl. She had to marry a bully.

Shortly afterwards, she was driven out,

on the streets.

Finally she stayed in a whorehouse.

The scholar came back three years later.

She already became a famous prostitute.

Over the greatest beauty hangs the greatest ruin.

Then what?

After getting the property,

the bully had the fund.

Then he started his business in Dongxiang.

It’s not long before he opened the restaurant.

Abbess Jingyi,

is the bully

the owner who was killed that day?

It was many years ago.

Today, perhaps,

nobody remembers it.

Can it be that the white jade ring

was robbed from the girl?

People always say the wealth comes and goes.

However,

the bully was able to do such things to a human,

let alone the ring.

Then what?

Was the girl together with her cousin?

Certainly not.

He had become a scholar.

There was a bright future.

He wouldn’t marry

a hooker and ruin his prosperity.

The scholar was so heartless.

If it were not because of him,

the girl should have married others.

Then she wouldn’t suffer that.

How could he dislike and avoid her?

People are always softhearted.

But sometimes they are hard-hearted.

The girl was too weak and easily bullied.

If it were me,

I wouldn’t let him go.

Actually,

the scholar was nostalgic.

He bought back the freedom of the girl,

installed her in a room on the mountain,

and then left.

So what?

He bought her freedom

because he owed her.

It was heartless

for him to leave like that.

Yong, am I right?

The girl

become depressed and eventually died

after knowing her lover’s leave.

Merciful Buddha. You are right.

She often came to worship before she died.

Her only wish

was being buried on the mountain behind

so that she can be accompanied by the Buddha.

She didn’t want her name on the tombstone.

She said she had a suffering life.

She didn’t want to be remembered.

Ah!

Is the weeping

we just heard

and the figure father just saw,

the spirit of that girl?

Did you

see a girl in white?

Maybe it’s because the silly came to worship her

and reminded her of misery of the past.

Abbess Jingyi,

is the silly guy the mad monk?
