Chef Fang

Episode 7

Abbess,

is the monk that silly?

You're acute, Mr. Shen.

I see.

Is he

that woman’s cousin?

Did he

kill the owner

to avenge his cousin's death?

Merciful Buddha.

I don’t know what happened between them.

Shen Mansion

Yong, Yishao,

go back and rest.

Yes, father.

Once you fall asleep,

I’ll put the hairpin on you.

When you see it in the morning,

you’ll be overjoyed.

And perhaps...

Darling.

Darling?

Coming.

That stone tablet was built for a woman.

Poor thing. She met the wrong man

and lived a tragic life.

She died so young.

Darn it.

Are you a pig, Shen Yong?

Weren’t you supposed to put the hairpin on her?

How could you fall asleep so fast?

You didn’t even know when she got up.

What’s that smell?

I’m a ghost.

Goodness!

You scared me!

You freaked me out!

Darling,

what’s in it? It smells funny.

Reincarnation cake.

What?

Reincarnation cake. It’s a sacrifice.

The color is strange but it’s cute.

That's the color of wormwood.

Wormwood and sticky rice can fend off the evil.

Powdered wormwood can be bought in the pharmacy.

This cake is offered as a sacrifice

on Tomb-sweeping day

to remind the ghosts to go to their next lives.

The wormwood is bitter but has a sweet aftertaste.

The rice is soft and sticky.

Ghosts, after eating this,

can be reincarnated.

People can eat this to avoid evil spirits.

It’s soft and sweet yet a little bitter.

Let’s go, honey.

Where to?

To visit that poor woman.

Hope she can have a new life soon.

Let’s go.

Ms. Qiao,

Abbess Jingyi told me everything.

I made the reincarnation cake for you.

Hope you can rest in peace.

Darling,

is that monk

really crazy?

I told you

he faked it, but you didn’t believe me.

A crazy man wouldn’t be able to

seek revenge.

Why did he fake it?

How would I know?

Women cannot marry the wrong men.

What now?

You've figured it out?

I’m a bully.

Say that again!

You miss my punch?

No.

Do you have chest pain?

What?

You've been rubbing your chest lately.

Are you sick?

We can hire a physician.

No need.

I’m fine. No need.

Let me check.

What is it?

Fine, fine, fine.

This is for you.

Put it on me.

Do it yourself.

I can’t see.

I burned incense. My hands are dirty.

Let me wipe them clean.

Put it on me.

Looking good.

Really?

No, no, no.

Leave some outside.

It looks better.

No.

What if it falls?

No way.

What's wrong, honey?

My stomach hurts.

What?

Let’s go. Come on.

Come here. This way.

Honey,

are you going to...

What’s up?

She might be the one crying that day.

It’s possible.

It must be her.

Abbess Jingyi didn’t mention

that Ms. Qiao had a daughter.

She did lie to us

to make us believe that crazy man is the killer.

We’d wrong an innocent man.

Mother,

this cake is yum.

Have some.

Darling,

I’ll go right, you go left.

Let's catch her together.

Is it appropriate?

What’s wrong with it?

Fine.

Mother,

a few constables came the other day

and arrested Uncle Mad.

I’m scared, mother.

Freeze!

- Mother, mother! - Darling.

Why did you scare her?

Mother.

Don’t be afraid. We’re good people.

Here. Have one more.

Don't be too upset. My mother died young, too.

You like it?

What’s your name?

Is this your mother buried here?

I’m Miao Shitou.

Miao Shitou.

Your name is funnier than mine.

My master said I was fatherless

and came out of a stone,

hence the name Shitou, meaning stone.

Your master lied.

You came out of a stone?

Why didn’t she say your mother was born that way?

Who’s your master?

I can’t say.

Why can't you?

I need to leave.

Hey, you,

don't you know

there's no free lunch?

Tell us who your master is, please.

I am.

Who is it?

Master!

Master!

Shitou.

They...

Sorry to disturb you again, Abbess.

Please have a seat.

Master,

I’m scared.

Jie.

Let's go.

Yes.

It's OK.

Don’t be afraid.

Master,

during our conversation yesterday,

why didn’t you mention that woman

had a daughter?

I knew

you’d

find out about this.

Is she really the deceased woman’s daughter?

That poor woman

was abandoned by her husband

simply because she gave birth to a girl.

Her name is Qiao Miaozhu.

She couldn’t

raise her daughter alone,

so she came here

and entrusted her daughter to me.

She didn’t want her to know she had such a mother

and refused to come here to visit her.

And she’d rather remain nameless after she died.

After she passed away,

I buried her in the mountain behind the Nunnery

so that Shitou could visit her

whenever she missed her.

So,

the victim was Shitou’s father.

Yes.

I didn’t tell you

to protect Shitou’s feelings.

Poor Shitou.

Abbess,

Buddhists

can’t lie, can they?

Did you

kill him?

Yes.

I knew the truth would surface.

That mad monk took the blame for me.

Excuse me, Abbess.

Merciful Buddha.

How can I help you, sir?

Where’s Ms. Qiao living down the mountain?

You are...

Oh, we’re old acquaintances.

Is your surname Zhou?

Abbess, this nameless tablet is...

Merciful Buddha. Ms. Qiao passed away 2 years ago.

She came to pray and burned incense regularly.

Her last wish

is to be buried in the mountain behind

so that she’d be close to the Buddha.

So that mad monk isn’t insane.

He blamed himself

for Ms. Qiao’s tragedy

and drowned his sorrow in wine every day, right?

He begged me to stay here

in order to protect this girl.

Unlike her father,

Shitou is as kindhearted as her mother.

She’s a good girl.

That mad monk

stared in the direction of the restaurant all day

because of hatred

and in case that owner showed up suddenly.

Sometimes, he pretended to be crazy

to steal food from the guests

so that Shitou could have better things to eat.

Sadly, what will come will come.

That day, the owner came to burn incense

and bumped into Shitou.

Shitou looked exactly the same as her mother,

so he connected the dots.

Come.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Come with me.

Let me go!

Uncle Mad.

Who the hell are you?

Uncle Mad. Get off him!

Go away!

Mind your own business.

Let go of him!

Go die, you lunatic!

Stop! Uncle Mad!

Go to hell, you crazy monk!

Stop! Stop hitting him!

Come.

Shitou.

Merciful Buddha. This is a sacred place.

No violence is allowed.

I came to bring my daughter back.

Who does he think he is

that he tries to stop me?

I don’t know him, Master.

How can you prove that she’s your daughter?

If you can prove it,

you can take her with you.

I won't stop you.

But if you can’t,

I’m afraid she can’t leave.

Fine. I’ll come again in a few days.

If you dare to stop me,

I’ll burn down your nunnery.

You...

Don’t cry, Shitou. It’s OK. I’m fine.

I’m sorry, Uncle Mad. It's all my fault.

There, there, I’m fine. Don’t cry.

I don't want to leave, Master. He’s a bad man.

I know, sweetheart. I know.

It's OK, Shitou. Don’t cry.

There, there. Cheer up.

Please.

Have a nice day. See you.

Thanks for coming.

Good day.

Do come again.

Sure. I will.

Hongbin Restaurant

You came to see me?

Yes.

Follow me.

So,

what do you want to give my daughter back?

Money? Jewelry? Name your price.

I...I...

I’m sorry, Miaozhu

and Shitou.

I won't blame you.

Leave... through the side door.

Bad choice. You made a bad choice.

Why didn’t you go to the authority?

One choice can either save or kill people.

You know

what he said to me,

after I stabbed him?

His crime is beyond redemption.

What nice things could he say?

He dragged a case under the bed

and said it was for his daughter.

He said he failed his mother.

He was stung by conscience

and wanted to get his daughter back.

I carried the case back unconsciously

and gave the money to the mad monk

to tell him to leave with Shitou

and start a new life.

But he didn't want Shitou

to suffer the separation again,

so we stayed here in panic

till the day Shitou visited her mother’s tomb

and saw you.

Look, honey, there’s smoke over there.

Let's go have a look.

Come on.

Why did you stop?

This is bad.

There’s no name on it.

This guy probably didn’t have a good reputation.

To protect the later generations

and avoid others destroy the grave,

this guy asked for a nameless tablet.

How sad!

Not at all. If the person were decent,

his name would be on it.

Let's go. This place sucks.

Hold on.

Come and look.

Isn’t this that owner’s ring?

Abbess, Abbess,

we can’t hide it any longer.

Merciful Buddha. Truth will come to light.

Please do me a favor, Abbess.

What is it?

Please take good care of Shitou

and don’t let her get hurt again.

I’ll pay for his death with my life.

No.

Abbess, I've only lived this long for Shitou.

Otherwise, I’d kill myself

in front of my cousin’s tomb that day instead of

living in regret like this. Please, Abbess.

I... I...

No wonder.

What you saw yesterday was Shitou.

She was looking for the mad monk

and waited at her mother’s tomb for him.

She waited for hours but still didn't see him,

so she cried and you saw her.

I told her when she saw strangers,

pretend to be a ghost to scare them away.

That was also to protect her.

Abbess Jingyi is in custody, father.

I see. Go back and rest.

Yes.

Father.

Good night, father.

Good night.

Is something troubling you?

I feel pity for Abbess Jingyi.

Can you beg father to release her?

I won’t. You know his temper.

She committed a murder.

She did that for a reason.

He did the wrong thing first.

But she killed him.

It’s understandable but illegal.

You're unreasonable!

What did I do wrong?

I’m done talking to you.

Where are you going?

To sleep.

Shen Mansion

Time to eat.

Did you have trouble to sleep

because of Abbess Jingyi?

Yes. The sentencing is hard.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I bit my tongue.

Father...

Here, have a bun, honey.

Eat it. It’s good.

Father hates interference in his case the most.

Be quiet, or you’ll be spanked.

Eat your food. Dig in.

Yong,

what sentence do you suggest?

Say it.

She violated the law by killing the owner.

Continue.

A life for a life. It's a fair principle.

She killed a man but she saved two.

She did?

Yes. Hadn’t she

taken Ms. Qiao and Shitou in

and looked after Shitou,

they would've died long ago. She saved them.

What else?

Although the owner was killed,

he had harmed others.

Can you let it all out?

Here’s the thing, hadn’t he

destroyed the Qiao family,

Shitou's mother’s tragedy could've been avoided,

she wouldn't have died

and Abbess Jingyi wouldn't have adopted Shitou.

Hadn’t she adopted Shitou,

the owner wouldn't have found out about it.

Hadn’t he found out about it,

he wouldn't have been killed.

It all originated from the owner

abandoning Shitou’s mother.

To sum up in one sentence,

it’s karma.

I think it should end here.

If Abbess is imprisoned

because of her deed,

Shitou will have fewer people to look after her.

She’s innocent. Why does she have to suffer this?

You’re brilliant, darling.

Really? I was piling words up.

Alright. “Karma” is a good word. Let’s eat.
