[Episode 9]

Elise, come in to see your gift.

I believe Dr. Xie got you this gift.

This friend of yours sure is practical. Other people got you flowers and perfume,

but he got you several of this brand's air purifiers.

He's a doctor. Perhaps that's his way of being romantic.

Alright then.

Victor, where's the gift you got your sister?

- Mom, come help me.
- Okay.

Victor.

What's the matter, mom?

You heard everything, didn't you?

I… Yes I did, mom.

I know you have a good relationship with your sister.

But this is her own personal affair with Oli.

You're still young. Don't impulsively get involved.

Focus on preparing for the competition.

I got it, mom.

Hello? Elise.

Did you receive my gift?

Yes. Thank you Junbin.

- I like it a lot.
- I'm glad you like it.

Happy birthday.

I just hope for you to be happy.

I know. Thank you.

Happy Birthday Elise.

It's beautiful. Thank you.

[Jiang Qianfan = Good-for-nothing]

- Mr. Jiang.
- Beat it!

Holy crap. That scared me.

How can he just suddenly flip out?

I have a positive mindset. I won't get mad.

It's none of my business.

Lin Kesong.

Change into clothes to eat in and come to the dining room.

- Aren't I exercising first?
- Do it now!

Whatever you say goes.

What is all this?

You'll start with the ones in front of me in a bit.

Follow the order. Sour, sweet, bitter,

spicy, salty, savory.

That's the specification sheet.

Taste every single dish

and ingredient on the table from raw to cooked

and take note of it on the sheet. I'll be back later.

You're finally teaching me your secrets?

Hurry and get started.

[Xiaoyu's Private Kitchen]

Hello? Big brother.

Hello? Lin Feng. Where's Kesong? Is she at the restaurant?

Kesong isn't at the restaurant.

She's not? Why can't I reach her phone?

You can't reach her? Her phone's probably out of battery.

Where could she possibly go?

I asked her to go to the mountains to stock up on some goods.

You asked a girl to stock up on goods in the mountains?

She's not alone, of course.

Some of my guys went with her. She just went to have fun.

How about this? I'll try to reach her and have her call you back.

Tell her to video call me instead.

Video call? Sure. I'll hang up for now then.

Okay.

The number you've dialed is powered off.

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.

Why did this kid turn off her phone?

Xiaoyu, your cousin's phone is turned off. Do you have any other way to contact her?

Can you leave her a message on WeChat?

I don't know.

Turning off her phone in secluded training. That's unheard of.

Why aren't you even a bit worried?

She has a great reputation now. She doesn't need me to worry about her.

Do you know that Jiang whatever Fan guy's address?

No.

You have to at least know the restaurant, right?

Dad, I'm busy right now.

Look it up online.

You…

[Shanghai International Hospital]

According to the test results, the nerve cells are indeed degenerating at a rapid rate.

So I agree with your guess.

It's possible that the patient's certain allergies caused neuronal cell death.

Are there other treatments aside from putting him into quarantine?

No. And he'll have to be quarantined for quite a while.

I don't know if the patient would be willing to accept that.

I'll go ask.

How long do I have to be in quarantine?

That depends on your condition after the quarantine.

Even if we rule out allergies,

we'll still have to assess for other possibilities in a dust-free and sterile environment.

It'll take at least six months

to eliminate all the possibilities.

Will you be able to cure me if I go into quarantine for six months?

These six months is just the observation period.

Junbin.

Do you know what I have to do in the following six months?

In the next six months, I want Yuxuan to receive three Michelin stars.

I want to break my own record.

You want to quarantine me, yet you can't guarantee that I'll be cured.

Tell me. What am I supposed to do?

Qianfan, you're currently sick and that needs treatment. You can't—

Can you stop talking about it? How much worse can I be?

I'm just someone without a sense of taste. Am I going to die from this?

This is much worse than death. I'm leaving.

Mr. Jiang, you're back?

What about the cold dishes? Why aren't you done yet?

Because the first few dishes…

- were a bit…
- What have you been doing all this time?

Shouldn't I be carefully tasting them?

Are you still going to come up with excuses?

But I have to try them one by one.

Mr. Jiang, Yuxuan called.

They said Mr. Lin Feng went to the restaurant looking for Ms. Lin.

That's my uncle.

Hello? Uncle.

Kesong. I'm finally hearing your voice.

What's going on with you? Your phone's turned off.

I was about to call the police if I didn't find you soon. I was so worried about you. Are you doing okay?

I'm fine.

My phone broke a couple of days ago.

Your parents are more worried about you than I am not being able to reach you.

I could only tell them that I sent you to stock up on some goods

and that the signal is bad in that area. Come back and return a call to your parents. They want a video call. Got it?

Alright uncle. Stop it. I–

Mr. Jiang, I'll finish writing this up immediately.

- Can I head out for a bit after I'm done?
- No.

I'm not going out to have fun. I'm going back to my uncle's place.

- I have to video call my parents.
- I said no.

I'm begging you. If my parents are unable to reach me, they'll—

Do you need me to say it again?

What's the matter?

Is there something wrong with you? Do you not have parents?

- Can't you put yourself in my shoes?
- Little Bread.

Don't worry about me, Sister Nina! There's something wrong with him!

- Hello?
- Oli, the food critic, Mark, and his friends are coming by tomorrow. You remember, right?

I remember. They said they wanted to try the dishes from the G20 summit state banquet.

They even ordered crab meat stuffed in orange. Aren't they just trying to test me?

Yes. He just sheepishly contacted me

to add a dish that looks just about the same in appearance.

Why?

He said that his son begged to come

after hearing the adults talk about the legend of the crab meat stuffed in orange.

The kid is allergic to crab meat so we must not let him find out that what he's eating is different than that of the adults.

Alright.

I can cooperate since it's for a kid.

Oli, Junbin just told me about your condition. As a food critic,

Mark is famous for his pickiness and sharp tongue. What are we going to do

if he finds out about your condition? Why don't we make up an excuse?

We can say that you're not feeling well. Why don't you not show up tomorrow?

Alright. Don't worry about that. I can handle it.

It'll be too chicken of me to suddenly not show up.

Let's leave it at that.

Little Bread. Where are you going?

Home. I don't want to learn from him anymore.

Little Bread.

Little Bread.

Just excuse Oli's behavior for today's incident.

He can't stand others talking about his parents.

His parents have gone to heaven.

Oli's parents passed away in a car accident before he even graduated middle school.

That's so sad.

Yes. It's not easy for Oli.

His mentor isn't alive anymore

and his parents aren't alive anymore.

You're the closest person to him.

I've been with Oli for years

but we've never had many heart-to-heart conversations.

He keeps almost everything to himself. He's never willing to open himself up to others.

Little Bread, you haven't been here for long, but I feel that he's already on close terms with you.

He's a good person. Don't blame him.

But he's so erratic.

Whenever I start to put my trust in him, he does something to make me lose my trust for him again. Who can stand that?

Do you trust me?

Of course I do.

Here's your phone, Little Bread. Call your family.

What if he finds out?

He won't. I'll be on the lookout for you.

Nina.

I'm leaving.

Mr. Jiang.

I'll go freshen up first. I'll develop new dish later.

Don't let anyone disturb me for half an hour.

Okay.

Bun, you heard what Mr. Jiang said.

You should call your family now.

I can't.

My parents know what my uncle's house looks like.

It's not the same here.

What do you mean?

In fact, my uncle and I haven't told my parents that I'm learning to cook.

Why don't you say so? Wouldn't that be a good thing?

Maybe it's because the ordinary me

was chosen by the extraordinary him.

And to enter some kind of cooking competition.

Not to mention my parents,

it took me a long time to believe it myself.

What are you talking about? This is really happening to you.

If the same thing happened to my younger sister,

they probably would believe it.

Besides, if they knew I was living in a man's house,

they would have to come over and break my legs.

How could they?

You can go to the terrace and call them.

Won't he find out?

No, I'll keep an eye on him for you.

Okay.

I'll do that.

Why isn't this kid answering her phone?

Don't spin around, sit down.

She's calling!

Mom! Dad!

My dear, we've finally found you.

You can't turn off your phone like that. We need to be able to reach you at all times, okay?

I didn't mean to turn off my phone. My phone ran out of battery.

Where are you now?

I'm on a mountain. I'm lying on the grass. I'm helping my uncle to stock up.

I'm at an old man's house in the mountains.

This mountain is a bit far. You have to walk for three to four hours to get up here.

Mom, the signal seems to be weak here...

Mom?

The signal is really bad...

She froze.

-Kesong?
-It's disconnected.

I'm exhausted.

She's at an old man's house.

My back.

Hey.

-Mom.
-Why was there a bit of a lag?

Didn't I tell you the signal was bad in the mountains?

You seem to have lost weight. Did you not eat properly?

Of course I'm eating well.

How about you?

We're both fine. How come Xiaoyu didn't go with you?

She's busy with the cooking competition. She's training with her mentor.

Kesong, look how well Xiaoyu is doing.

You have to learn from her.

I also participated in the cooking competition, and I have a mentor.

Are you really in that competition?

What did your mentor see in you? Is he scamming you?

Why is it scamming when it comes to me?

Your mom and I know you too well.

Fine, I didn't participate. I was kidding.

Kesong.

You should hurry back after seeing around in Shanghai.

Our neighbor arranged a blind date for you.

He works in the telecommunications bureau, very tall and handsome.

Okay, I can't hear you clearly.

I'll hang up now.

Take care of yourself!

She hung up again.

I shouldn't have called.

Where is Lin Kesong?

I'm here.

Sit down. Let's talk.

I have three demands that you have to agree to.

Or else?

Or I will flee to a place so far away that you will never find me again.

Do you think that's possible?

Tell me about it.

Firstly, you shouldn't lose your temper easily.

How do you define "easily"?

Just don't lose your temper at all.

No can do.

Fine. You could lose your temper when I made a mistake.

Like just now, I didn't know your parents were gone.

It's my fault that

I said those things.

But you're not allowed to lecture me if I didn't make a mistake.

So was that a mistake or not?

That would be considered saying the wrong thing.

You could have just told me. There's no need to break things.

What about the second thing?

Secondly...

I messed up the order.

Let me see.

Secondly, don't...

break things at will.

Thirdly, my phone must be returned.

Brackets, can be waived.

Why did you write it down if it's waivable?

How do I know if I don't try?

These two in front of you are not ordinary oranges.

Let me show you.

These are called Roe Crab Meat Stuffed in Orange.

This is my special recipe using

Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab and minced Iberico meat.

I can agree to your three demands, but you are not allowed to eat these two oranges.

If you want to eat them...

I am a very principled person.

I see. What a pity.

I didn't say that I didn't want to eat them.

What about your three demands?

I was joking. I have no demand.

It's delicious.

Little Lin.

-You are here.
-How's it going?

Take a seat.

-What do you want to eat today?
-Squid with Black Bean Sauce.

Okay.

Shiitake Mushroom with Green Vegetables and Xiaoyu's Special Fried Rice.

Of course, Xiaoyu has to fry the rice herself.

I can tell the difference.

Understand. Just a moment.

Sister Yu, he ordered the Special Fried Rice that's hand-made by you.

Wow, you seem very angry.

You're such a pain in the ass.

Please, take a seat.

Why?

I need to tell you something.

I can't paint the beauty that exists in your eyes no matter how many times I try.

- What's wrong with you?
- Hold on.

Let me look at you for a bit longer.

You're such a nuisance. I'll call the police on you if you do this again.

She's like that because I spoiled her too much.

Not at all.

I think there's a special kind of oriental charm to her bad temper.

I like it a lot.

We have many great things that have an oriental charm to it.

Can you like more some more positive things?

For example what?

For example?

For example oriental…

The Oriental Pearl Tower. Silly kid.

- Will that be enough?
- I think that'll be good, sir.

The Oriental Pearl Tower?

Pearl?

Is this dish different from the one just now?

Although this is also tasty,

this doesn't seem like crab.

Mushroom?

That's right. That one is made of mushrooms.

Write down a score for the taste of the two dishes you just had according to the form you were filling out this morning.

Okay.

Li Yan, I sent you the list of the fungi.

Yes. Remember to deliver it over here.

Also, it has to be produced from the place I told you. Make sure to double check.

You're back. Was training camp fun?

It was amazing. How could what you recommended me not be good?

By the way, Old Jiang, I also brought you a gift.

A gift?

Do you know what we do in the wild to increase our sugar levels?

Wild honeycombs. The training camp taught you that.

That's right. I brought it back just for you!

- How dare you cause trouble!
- Nina!

Don't hit his head! Sis, hit his waist!

- That honeycomb doesn't have any bees!
- You can't see the bruises if they're on his waist! Lower!

A bit lower!

Stop hitting him!

You're so childish, Song Yiran. Is there something wrong with you?

I'm just messing around. I didn't expect to get attacked.

Stop laughing.

By the way, how have you been doing lately?

The same as you. It's sheer luck that I'm still alive.

Jiang Qianfan, did you bully her again?

Did I?

Did you?

Shouldn't you two know if he did or not?

- Are you really doing okay?
- I'm starting to like cooking.

Alright then. Do your best to learn from Old Jiang. I'll come visit you another time.

In fact, it's good to push yourself sometimes. You'll learn some practical skills.

My abs even got stronger while I was at the military camp.

Quit talking and get going.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I didn't process what was going on until I watched his car drive away.

What?

To my own surprise, I asked Song Yiran to visit me less often.

But that's exactly what I wanted.

Recently I started thinking about him less often. I didn't even notice it myself.

Have I changed?

Welcome to Bellagio Shanghai. What can I do for you?

Arrange a suite for me.

- Okay. Please wait.
- Thank you.

Mr. Jiang, here's the mushroom you asked for. There's a total of 23 types.

Great. Take it out and show me.

In such a short period of time, we couldn't get them delivered from our refrigeration.

So I got the goods delivered according to the place of production and quality of the product you asked for.

I verified them. They're high quality. Check it over.

Porcini, morel,

swollen-stalked cat, white shimeji.

- What about the lurid bolete?
- At the bottom.

Alright.

I bought their products according to your standards. They were originally transferred from Yunnan.

They're very fresh.

Thank you for the hard work. You can head back to rest.

Alright.

- There are so many mushrooms. Are they all edible?
- Of course.

Come on. Let's begin. Help me bring it over there.

[Bellagio]

Mr. Song.

Someone's calling for you.

- Why are they calling you?
- I don't know either.

Hello? Who is it?

I knew you were at the spa.

Chu Ting is already at the hotel.

I promised to pick her up from the airport.

I fell asleep.

Brother, how did you know about this? Did she call you?

I know everything about you.

I know everything including when you leave the house, when you come home, and how many friends you bring over.

Brother, you have remote surveillance?

I'm already 24.

Thank god I'm monitoring you.

If I wasn't, you'd mess everything up for me!

Right. You're right about everything.

Alright, I'm hanging up now. I'm going to get changed to meet her.

Hi, beautiful girl. Can I add you on WeChat?

So it's my darling.

What's the matter? Are you mad?

I came to apologize. Don't stay mad.

Darling.

I specially prepared a surprise for you today.

PT-72 tank.

Darling.

I'll piece this together with you all night. However long it takes. Are you happy?

I'm happy if you're happy.

Savory rating of 6.3.

It's still not quite the same as the real crab dish.

So that's how you use that secret? Why can't you just give it a taste yourself?

Li Yan, bring me some brown beech mushrooms.

Can the brown beech mushroom replace the taste of the crab?

Of course not.

You still have to steam the red meat and shallot with the chicken for two hours after blanching.

The brown breech mushroom will slowly absorb the savory soup, bringing out the taste of crab meat.

But we still have to experiment with exactly how to do it.

That's so much work.

Would you rather it be a lot of work or it not tasting good?

A bit of work is nothing as long as it tastes good.

- Hello? Elise.
- I'll come over to help you.

I'm okay. It's going well with her.

Can she really help you?

Don't play with my crab.

It's suffocating. Let it out.

Stop messing around. Get back over there.

Everything's fine. Have an early night. Okay.

How many have you had?

Three.

You didn't eat all of mine, did you?

No. Don't I have to finish eating this for you?

You're right. Stop messing around.
