♫ Pushing open the windows and looking out, the scenery is breathtaking ♫

♫ The beauty of the spring flower is unforgettable ♫

♫ Lush and ruthless, but always fascinating ♫

♫ Getting drunk alone, I temporarily forget your scent ♫

♫ Beside the broken bridge, loneliness hid under the rocks ♫

♫ The liveliness belongs to the passerbys ♫

♫ Drowning my sorrows with wine, the prosperity can't hide the sorrow ♫

♫ I'm left with the deep feelings alone, missing you with nothing to rely on ♫

♫ I don't wish to admit that this was just a dream ♫

♫ I don't want to see the separation, everything for naught ♫

♫ Past midnight, I allow the sound of the flute to ponder upon the past ♫

♫ I'm drunk tonight, hugging the shadow to sleep ♫

[Episode 8]

You won't understand even if I told you, so just listen to me.

I promise you will get a raise and earn a lot.

Miss Ye.

Miss Ye, you are a rare guest here. I have prepared you some simple dishes.

Come with me.

You are Liu Yiyi.

- I-- - What Miss Ye?

Don't you know I'm Stupid Donkey's wife? Call me Madame Xia.

- Ye Jinxuan. - Call me Yao Yao.

Do you have a problem? Do you?

Then hold it in!

Nainai, the dishes are ready. Your leg injury just recovered.

This is pig trotters soup. Drink it to nourish your body.

Pig trotters soup.

What's wrong? Is the taste bad?

Why didn't you say something last time?

Last time?

- You made it last time, too? - Yes.

Don't stand here. There are so many things for you to do. Go on.

Okay, I'll get to work. I'll make bone soup for you next time.

A certain person is so self-centered.

A certain person is ungrateful.

These dishes aren't as good as my cooking, but they look all right.

But normal dishes can't save your Yongcui Pavilion.

But Yongcui Pavilion... is not a restaurant.

Yongcui Pavilion was a nightclub, but now you don't have any girls.

What's the point of having an old lady like you here? Of course, you need to change your business model.

She likes to talk with strange, new words. I hope you don't mind.

I know now.

People are greedy, we all want free things.

But Yongcui Pavilion is a business and no matter what business you do,

you can't always give away free things.

It won't be forever.

I'm thinking in terms of the Internet.

First, you make it big, then you make it better.

First, you make customers like you, then you make money out of them.

What's that you were thinking in terms of?

Madame Xia means

to make money from dangerous places and you need to think beyond a box.

You are quite smart.

Then show us what tricks you have.

We will provide the customers with a standard routine.

Provide all kinds of choice sets for the customers.

Like, "Winning all your bets" set, fried chicken and Divine Water.

"May you have a lovely son" set, chicken nuggets and egg soup.

"Young forever" set, apple pie and lemon tea.

Single order set, eggplant noodles and

chopped shallots with mashed potatoes.

After all these, I deserve a spa visit since I'm so tired.

Coming up.

It's very exciting!

- Parties of more than three get a group discount. - Do you want to see the other side with me?

Come on in!

[Ghost Carnival]

Let's go home. This is too scary.

So scary. Wife, let's go home.

How embarrassing a man you are!

Let's go. It really scared me!

This is so much fun.

- Hey, what did you think? - So exhilarating.

When I have the time, I will visit with my friends again.

- Here. - Thanks, come back next time.

Next group. If you think you are bold, try this out.

Please come in.

You're pretty good.

I haven't even used any of my marketing schemes yet.

But for you uncivilized people,

this is enough. Just wait for those former staff members to beg you to let them come back.

You are welcome. I only want 30% of the profit.

That's a lot of money.

You have 30%, your father wants 30%, how much is left for me?

Really, he doesn't want you and you don't want him.

He is greedy and so are you. Like father, like daughter.

Do you know why I need so much money?

Only when a person has enough money,

when you get sad, you can cry in Paris, London,

or in a hot spa in Japan while using a facial mask.

If you don't have money,

you can only cry by the roadside eating cheap BBQ.

Even thinking about it makes me angry.

Okay, come on!

I will teach you how to play the Werewolves game, then tomorrow you can teach the customers how to play.

Werewolf game?

What is this water?

This is the Black Wind Divine Water that Nainai invented.

It's strange. I can feel the tip of my tongue jumping.

You are so much better than him. He thought it was fleas.

Okay, time for you to speak.

Since last round, Song Qi said he's going to vote me out,

but then you waived your vote.

The whole game, he has been announcing other people's identities.

Only werewolves would do that. Commoners wouldn't.

So I don't think you have the heart of a good person.

So for this round, I vote for Player One.

Okay, the discussion is over.

Now, let's vote. Who votes for Player One?

It's definitely him.

Player Two.

Players three, four, five, six.

Okay, Stupid Donkey has one vote.

The rest of the people voted for Song Qi. Song Qi has been disqualified. Game over.

The Werewolf has won again.

Not so.

Who is the last wolf?

- Him. - What?

I told you!

You didn't believe me. Why are you so sneaky?

How can you get the wolf's card for every round?

And you won every round, too.

You are born for this game.

Yeah, Third Brother you are so good at this.

Third Brother is so smart.

It's all right, I'll stop playing. It's not that much fun to play.

Why isn't it fun to play?

What's fun about tricking people?

But the point is to trick people.

Life is a play and it all depends on your acting skills.

In my opinion, Black Wind Fortress needs to stop training people in fighting skills.

You should play the Werewolf game.

One undercover person will kill the whole game.

- Nainai, you are making a very good point. - That's right!

What point?

What's the point in lying?

You can do whatever you want in Yongcui Pavilion, except this game.

What happened to you? We losers didn't even complain,

yet the winner has so many opinions.

Not everything is fun, okay?

- Third Master. - Third Brother.

Ignore him. Let's continue.

Give me your cards. Maybe, he recalled some old memories.

Or maybe he's the mole.

Third Sister-in-Law, shh.

You can't say something like that.

"Mole" means "undercover spy," right?

Eldest Brother hates nothing more than moles.

Did you forget the former Third Brother and Third Sister-in-Law?

Okay, don't talk about it! Let's play.

If we get Xia Chunyu on our Xinyi Court's side, we would be ten times better than Black Wind Fortress.

He can't be that great.

You know nothing.

Hey, sir. Take a look.

Will this tassel look good on Xia Chunyu's xiao flute?

You can't know unless you put it on.

Little bastard. We will get it on soon or later.

Master, you send him gifts like cases and jade plates every day.

Xia Chunyu takes all the gifts,

but he doesn't even show up.

You know nothing.

When you go to the whore house, would you pay for a girl you like?

But Xia Chunyu is no girl.

It works the same way though.

Xia Chunyu is a talent and I like him.

So I like spending money on him.

Come, take a look.

Miss, take a look. Buy whatever you like.

How much for this?

20 taels.

20 taels?

Watch where you're walking.

20 taels is too much. I'll take it for 15. Wrap it up.

Miss, 20 is not too much.

You...

Thief! Thief!

- Catch that thief! - Do you still want this?

Move!

Let's go.

Stealing in the middle of the day.

Don't you have any shame?

Yeah. Shame on you!

Stop the thief!

Stop the thief!

Stealing in the middle of the day, don't you have any shame?

There is an airplane!

Why are you hitting me?

How dare you steal my stuff?

Ye Jinxuan?

You know me?

You don't remember me?

You know me and you still steal my stuff?

I... I...

You... You really don't remember me? Or do you have amnesia？

Were you possessed?

You're the possessed one. Your whole family is possessed.

Oh...

Master, why are you so weak?

How could a girl hurt you this badly?

You shut up.

Hey, how can a person change her personality so drastically?

Master, you know her?

Of course. Would you know her, then?

I actually do know her.

She is the new wife of Xia Chunyu.

What?

I have so much work to do. I'm a female entrepreneur.

What era is this? Why do I need to use an abacus?

Aiya.

You are here.

I want to talk with you about the balance.

On the first opening day, everything was free.

Table turnover rate is 10.

This is definitely an unseen record for Nan'an City.

Did I snore when I was asleep?

No.

Two days ago, we started charging at half price so we lost about 30% of the customers.

But yesterday 20% of those customers came back.

This means the customers are already dependent on Yongcui Pavilion.

What do you think? I did a good job, right?

You earned a lot of money.

Of course, I make money by using my brain.

Liars also make money by using their brains.

You're so boring.

Go rest if you're tired.

I'm not tired. I can make so much money every day.

I just don't know if I can bring them back.

Where do you want to take this money?

Take a guess?

I need to tell you something.

Can you stop going to the accounts office to get money every day?

The people there are annoyed with you.

I will give you the money month by month.

No.

I will still give you 30%.

No means no.

I can't wait for a whole month.

You are clearly starting trouble with me.

You take money every day from the accounts. Do you know how bad that looks?

If Eldest Brother asks, what should I tell him?

Why is that my problem?

Ye Jinxuan.

Call me Yao Yao.

Okay, Yao Yao.

Thanks for your help.

The other day I was a little rude when talking about your mother. I apologize.

Impossible. You're apologizing to me?

What's wrong with you?

The speaker has no particular meaning, but it might be different for the listener.

It was because we were playing werewolf, that made me think

your behavior drastically changed because I hurt you with my words.

Stupid Donkey, all I did was help you earn some money.

What's the point in this? It's too late for you to kiss up to me now.

Not every apology can get my forgiveness.

You think I can't manage Yongcui Pavilion like this without you?

Then why are you apologizing to me?

You want to slap me in the face and then treat me with sweets?

You think I'm your little mistress Liu Yiyi?

If you don't like me you don't need to pretend.

I have no relationship with Liu Yiyi.

- You, however... - What about me?

You talk about some leading males and TV dramas.

They are my idols.

I have to hug them so I can go to bed.

Who knows if you're making this up?

Are you jealous?

Why would I be jealous of people you made up?

Besides,

I will not change my words.

I will not like you.

I apologized because I didn't want those meaningless words to hurt your feelings.

I'm afraid you'll overthink it and start acting crazy.

How would I act crazy?

Like saving money to cry in London and Paris and Japan.

Are you worried about my safety if I go to those places by myself?

If you are worried you can come along!

And you still insist you don't like me.

That's called playing hard to get. You don't understand it, right?

Seems ancient times are the same as modern days.

If you can't win a man's heart by using real feelings, some tricks will do.

I will work hard, and make more money.

A listed market and make this bigger and bigger.

With my limited time, I'll become a winner for life.

[A day without seeing you seems like three seasons]

"One day away from you seems like three seasons"?

"After only seeing you one time, I miss you like crazy."

"Thinking that you might change your mind, then the next second there is a vacancy in your heart."

You stupid donkey!

I thought I had succeeded.

What nonsense about wine kettles and cups?

I will smash all those mistress wine cups!

Miss Liu, nice playing.

You are almost a musician.

It's nothing much.

Too bad your time doesn't respect its artists, so what's the point?

If you have anything you want to say, just say it.

Okay, then listen carefully.

Yongcui Pavilion belongs to Xia Chunyu

and Xia Chunyu belongs to me.

I am the CEO and you are an employee.

So if you want to survive,

you should listen to me.

You are the wife of Sir Xia.

What you want me to do, I will try to do it.

Your words are strange.

If you touch something that doesn't belong to you, you are a thief.

It's the same with people.

What "Met you once and I miss you like crazy.

One day away from you and it feels like three seasons"? Don't write these things ever again.

I think you've misunderstood.

I want no excuses.

Excuses mean you are covering it up and behind the covering up means there is a story.

You guys--

Stop playing!

Let me tell you. Now, Yongcui Pavilion is not the same.

All your skills are of no use in this place.

I will arrange a new job for you.

What are you doing?

Kill the fish.

What are you doing?

I am afraid.

Okay, give it to me then.

See how I do it. Start with accuracy and finish with strength.

Here, remove the scales.

What are you doing now?

There is a technique behind removing fish scales.

Pay attention to how I do it.

You saw it?

What? What's wrong?

Don't throw up on my clothes!

When you play the zither, your fingers seem very flexible.

Why is sculpturing a flower so hard for you?

The carrot is too thin, it breaks easily.

You're using excuses?

How about this one? Thick enough for you?

That turtle looks quite okay.

It's a fish!

How can this be a fish?

Scramble eggs, easy, nutritional, fulfilling.

So you won't starve to death when you are alone.

Make sure the heat is even.

No...!

Are you all right?

Sorry...

I'm all right. You are not.

No matter what relationship you have with Xia Chunyu,

if you can't do your job, you need to leave Yongcui Pavilion!

Why do more girls want to go back to Yongcui Pavilion?

Didn't you offer them a raise?

First of all, the girls were originally from Yongcui, they have feelings left for that place.

Secondly, Yongcui Pavilion is the hottest spot in the city.

They can match our price any time, so this is not a sustainable way.

I don't understand. Yongcui Pavilion doesn't even have any girls left.

How can their business be so good?

I heard Yongcui Pavilion no longer uses girls to earn money.

Instead, they're using a ghost and a wolf.

Everyone wants to try something new, so they all go there.

What?

Rest assured, Godfather. I have sent some spies to investigate it.

We will find out very soon.

Okay.

It's almost lunch hour. Let's go eat.

To eat at Yongcui Pavilion?

Yeah, you have to know your enemy to win.

- Am I right? - Yes.

Let's go!

This way.

- Hello, guest. - How dare you? He is Second Master.

The tables are all full, please wait.

I have to wait?

Okay, I'm in a good mood; I will wait.

You look good today.

This looks good.

Who are you? Why did you take my number?

Husband.

You tell me. Whose number is this?

Yours.

- Take it. - Second Master.

Oh, I mean Second Brother.

Second Brother, why are you here?

How can we make Second Brother wait? Please, take a seat.

- Get some good tea and good melon seeds for him. - Yes.

Second Brother, this way, please.

- Please sit. - Good thing you know your manners.

Second Brother, please

What's with these melon seeds?

They're rotten!

I thought this place was so great.

You and Xia Chunyu are a perfect match.

You two are nothing but words!.

Second Brother, you are the customer here. Whatever you say is right.

Here, have some tea.

What is this tea, it tastes like vinegar!

Second Brother, I thought you had become a vinegar bottle. (T/N: vinegar refers to someone who is jealous)

How come you can't handle a little bit of vinegar?

What are you talking about?

You forgot? A couple of days ago, your Baili Hall

stole so many of our girls from Yongcui Pavillion.

But now your business isn't nearly half as good as Yongcui's.

What else would you feel except jealousy?

- You! - Godfather.

Second Brother, don't be so mad. Both Yongcui Pavilion and Baili Hall

are properties owned by Black Wind Fortress.

If Eldest Brother finds out that you came today to support our business, he will be so glad.

I will send my Stupid Donkey to Baili Hall some other day

to listen to your girls' beautiful singing.

What do you mean? You want to use Eldest Brother's name to threaten me?

No, I'm not.

Today, I must indeed teach you a lesson.

Godfather, there are many people here.

It'll be bad if news if this reaches Eldest Master.

Let's leave first.

You... Just you wait.

Second Brother, you're leaving so soon?

Thank you for visiting!

Third Sister-in-Law.

You got scalded by the oil?

You don't normally cook.

Did Ye Jinxuan force you into it?

No.

What a pretense!

She's great at cooking. I wanted to learn it from her.

Okay, stop explaining. I know it must have been her doing.

Who's there?

- Me. - You...

Your tactic for courting a girl is by giving her a Pandora bracelet? (T/N: High-end Brand Charm bracelet)

You are so tacky.

Miss Ye, Sir Xia and I are innocent.

Wait! Do you want to tell me, "No, our relationship

is so pure and clean?"

Why are you here?

This bracelet is very nice.

Miss Liu, you were really born into a secular world but living a religious life, huh?

Maybe, you want to be a nun in the future

and make a match with this guy here, who was born as a monk?

What are you talking about?

Yiyi's hands are for the zither. Don't ask her to do kitchen work.

Didn't you hear that she volunteered?

Now you feel sorry for her? I cook for you every day, where is my sorry?

That is because you like it. It doesn't mean other people will like it.

Don't push her to do these things anymore.

How do you know I'm pushing her?

I forgot to tell you. Liu Yiyi and I have very similar tastes.

We really like you.

- Ye Jinxuan. - Wait.

You called me Yao Yao intimately just a few days ago.

Now you can't do that in front of her?

Okay, the day is getting late.

Please go back.

Yongcui Pavilion is an inn, so cooking is part of my job.

Okay, okay.

Stop pretending. Even if you are not tired of acting, I'm tired of watching.

Here, I'm going now.

I didn't mean that. I'll pick it up for you.

You...

I really didn't mean it.

Who is pretending after all?

I and Yiyi are very good friends.

If you give her a hard time, that means you want to give me a hard time.

Just because you are friends, Yongcui Pavilion has to feed a useless person?

Stupid Donkey, I know that in this era,

it's common to match multiple cups with one wine kettle.

But in my, Ye Jiayao's, world, one bottle only has one cap.

If this cap goes around to seal other bottles,

it has to be broken.

If I heard it right,

you call yourself, Ye Jiayao?

It's my milk name. Any problems with that?

So what if I did it intentionally?

I forced her to do the kitchen work,

I stepped on the beads on purpose to give her a tough time,

which means I just want you to feel horrible.

You are being unreasonable.

The weather is dry, be careful with fire.

Stupid donkey, stinky donkey, evil donkey!

So many days not seeing me,

I might just run away.

I might just ditch Yongcui Pavilion and leave.

Then you can come with me!

Sheng Wu, why are you here?

- Smells great. - Let go of me!

When I look carefully, you are not bad looking, younger sister-in-law.

- Let me go. - It's a pity to stay with Xia Chunyu.

You can just come with me.

You stupid woman. Aren't you fighting with Third?

Then just come with me!

Don't.

Which bastard did this?

It's your grandfather, Ding Qi.

Your grandfather's name is not a random name you can drop anywhere.

Ding Qi, things inside Black Wind are none of your business.

It's you.

You know me now?

Of course, I know you.

- Is there anything I can eat? - Just tell me what you want to eat or drink. I have everything.

I... I want to have this special three penis soup.

Bull's penis, donkey's penis,

- and... - No! No!

What do you want to do? I am the Second Master of Black Wind.

My eldest brother will not let you live.

If you don't have a penis, how can you be the Second Brother?

- What are you talking about? - Although women aren't good,

a man bullying a woman is even worse.

No, no, no, no!

Why are you still here?

Why can't I be here?

This kind of scene is not suitable for a woman.

Why can't I watch this?

I'm really curious about how to transform a man into a eunuch.

Ye Jinxuan, have you gone crazy?

Wait. Sister-in-Law, you two know each other?

- Then ask him to give me mercy. - Nonsense.

Oh, so now, you know I'm your sister-in-law?

If I tell Eldest Brother about this, you'll be cut into pieces.

I... I'm begging you.

You guys can do whatever... Just don't touch my penis.

Okay. Then let's ask my wife.

Your wife?

Come, take a guess.

If you guess correctly, then you can have a penis.

If you guess incorrectly, I'll chop it off.

Heads!

- It is heads. - Heads, right?

That means I need to chop it off!

Wait, wait, wait!

That's not what you just said!

Just chop it off first!

If you chop off the wrong part, just reattach it later.

- No big deal. - Good idea.

How can you reattach it?

Don't!

Such a chicken.

I didn't expect you to be so good at acting cool.

Okay. Your name is Ding Qi, right?

I'll remember you. From now on when you come to Yongcui Pavilion,

everything is free.

Don't pretend you don't know me now that you've become famous.

Because of this asshole,

I almost forgot my task here.

What do you want to do?

- What do you want to do? - What do I want to do?
