[Episode 31]

15

Why can I only feel the numbness?

16

But I can't taste any spiciness?

17

Stop tasting!

18

Little Shen, I can't taste any flavour!

19

I have lost my sense of taste!

20

A chef lost his sense of taste, how can I cook?

21

How can I cook?

22

Don't cry.

23

I was abandoned in this world.

24

My lover was gone, my friends are dead.

25

Now I lost my sense of taste.

26

What's the point in staying here?

27

What's the point in living?

28

Don't talk like that, of course, your tongue will come back.

29

Besides, you have me. I have the best palate in the city.

30

You?

31

You see, you haven't lost the ability for cooking.

32

As long as I help you taste the food.Then you are fine.

33

-You help me taste?

-Yes.

34

Here, boss Zhong will be here any time.

35

If you want to get back in the game, this is important.

36

Okay, Little...

37

-I will teach you something new.

-What will you teach me?

-Give me your hands.

38

Then turn it over.

39

-Clap my hands.

-Clap your hands?

40

Do this.Bury your head inside.

41

-This?-Yes.

42

I need your encouragement.

43

You got it.

44

Come here.

57

Boss, how do you think?

58

I have eaten so many Mapo Tofu and this is the best one.

60

The beef soup?

61

The beef soup?

62

You...No, boss I know you are on Fast.How dare I add the beef soup?

63

Then what is this?

64

This is the dried mushroom.

65

And the way it function is just like beef, to add the flavor.

66

After cooking, it also taste like mashed beef.

67

And to give a contrast with the soft tofu.

68

To avoid the greasy taste of it, I used mushroom soy chicken and beans for the soup.

69

The taste is fresh and sweet.

70

It's good, you sure can cook, what's your name?

71

Boss...

72

My name is Li Yao.

73

They were the dine and dash customers.

74

I wasn't talking to you, brother.

75

You can make this dish right, that proves you have very good skills.

76

Boss I m so flattered.I m just worried that you might break your promise and people will laugh at you.

77

I will make something else for you.

78

Oh by the way, you said they used to dine here?

79

-Yes,But...

-Then what do you think of our food?

80

Uhm, If we are hungry, we can eat here...

81

Yes.

82

-But...If we are talking about the details...

-Don't you dare speak ill of this place.

83

You are above the average.

84

A cook, and a food critic.You are all talented.

85

By the way, you have paid your debt.

86

Besides, you want to stay at Tianshang Hall?

87

If we are here for the chores, then no.

88

No chores.

89

Start from kitchen help, 8 taels of silver for your month salary, how is that?

90

-8 taels of silver?

-Only 8 taels of silver?

91

92

You have ambitions, I like that!

93

-Liu .

-Yes boss.

94

95

The whip and the physical punishment, no more of that.

96

Yes boss.

97

98

Yes boss!

99

Xiao Qingqing.

100

Welcome, welcome!

101

Stop.

102

The boss just told you that you will not bully us.

103

Yes.

104

Then I m just telling you to do your work, that's not bully.

105

Here, I will give you a very long period of time,an hour.

106

Take all the yam here, shave it and smash it.

107

All the potatoes, shred them.

108

And all the gingers, slice them.

109

I can trust you guys on this right?

110

So many...how can we finish in time?

111

Oh you can't finish in time? Maybe you want to chop the woods in the back yards?

112

Wait, chef Liu want us to finish, we will do it.

113

You two just wait and see!

114

This is too far!

115

The karma is a bitch, I believe there will be one day for me to boss him around.

116

Little Jinjing!

117

-Big Yaoyao!

-Come here!

118

Prince Yu Zheng Minglv

119

Gang up for self interests.

120

Went against the proper teachings and etiquette. He is now being demoted to a common citizens. That's all.

121

[Prince Yu Residence]

122

Hey friend, do you need my help?

123

No need at all.

124

Bro I can give you a hand.

125

No no.

126

-Hey bro, do you need me...

-No, I m really busy.

127

Bro, I can help you do this.

128

No no, quit bothering me.

129

You see, you are sweating, I can help you.

130

You have nothing to do? Go wash the vegetables.

131

Didn't you see I washed everything?

132

Now is the lunch hour, everyone is doing dishes, why can't I do it?

133

Hey, little Liu, is boss coming today?

134

Don't use his name to scare me, you want to cook?

135

Here, do it, Let's see what you can do.

136

I will show you, no big deal.

137

Just these vegetables? Liu Qisheng clearly don't want you to show your talent.

138

It's okay, I cooked a lot of vegetables in the past.

139

Why?

140

Because somebody likes.

141

Okay you go do your job.Help me taste the ingredients.

142

Okay.

143

When I m not around, bak choy will remind you of me.

144

The potato shred will remind you of me, The green beans will remind you of me.

145

Anyway when you see vegetables, you will think of me.

146

You hear? The emperor just abolished Prince Yu.

147

I feel so bad for the prince, now he can't even go back to his home.

148

He was the son of a servant girl.

149

If the emperor doesn't like him, he just removed his name, no big deal.

150

Hey do you think there will be someone,

151

Shh, keep your voice down.

152

Come here.

153

What are you still waiting for? The food that you cooked, one bite of it and the customers left.

154

I think you should go back to sweeping the floor.

155

Impossible. I distinctly tested this dish.

156

I find it very tasty.

157

Perhaps, I wouldn't be able to cook with sincerity again.

158

Who's this on the poster?

159

They are looking for Master Jing.

160

General, we posted the notices but we still don't know the whereabouts of Master Jing.

161

He is a grown up and alive. How could he disappear in thin air?

162

This kid is a glutton. Check all the restaurants.

163

Even if you need to dig three feet, find him.

164

Yes, General. Let's go.

165

That rascal is not a commoner. If they find out that I mistreated him...

166

[Notice about General He Lian looking for He Liangjing]

167

[Heavenly Residence]

168

This way, please. Please come in.

169

Brother Li, Brother Jing. After you.

170

About this... we had a small misunderstanding in the past.

171

Everyone is like a family at Heavenly Residence now. Isn't that so?

172

Regard this meal as a peace offering.

173

Come, sit.

174

Let's sit.

175

He flips faster than the pages of a book.

176

Head Chef Liu, you have worked hard.

177

Conflicts should be solved before it becomes worse. Please guide us more in the future.

178

Of course.

179

I cooked some hometown dishes for you. Please provide some suggestions.

180

White bamboo stir-fried with meat? This is a test of the skill of the knife.

181

Your cutting skill is so unrefined. How can you serve it? How do you expect us to eat this?

182

Fried yellow croaker?

183

I already told you to deep-fry it and not pan-fry it.

184

It needs a big pot of oil so that the skin of the fish will be crispy.

185

Eel paste in ringing oil...

186

You definitely used freshly killed eel

187

But eel shred should be marinated in yellow wine,

188

pepper, or salt to remove its raw taste.

189

Your cutting skill and ingredients are not bad

190

but when you eat the eel, it's rather tasteless and fishy. This won't do.

191

Little Brother Jing, you really know how to eat. I respect you.

192

I will definitely improve in the future.

193

I specially prepared this hot pepper soup for the both of you.

194

Little Brother Li, please enjoy.

195

Head Chief Liu, you have worked hard. You should drink this first.

196

My throat hasn't been feeling good lately.

197

I can't drink such spicy stuff.

198

- It's okay if you take one or two sips. Come.

- No, no.

199

- The both of you, please drink it.

- Give us face.

200

- Here.

- No, no.

201

You must give me face for this.

202

- What are you doing?

- What drug did you add in teh soup?

203

Big Yao Yao, what's going on?

204

There is poison in the soup.

205

Spicy food are usually seen during breakfast in the South. It should not be here.

206

Although you are an useless idiot, you are also a Head Chef of Heavenly Residence.

207

In entertaining a guest, you shouldn't have used such a thing to deceive us.

208

You just mentioned that these are simple hometown dishes. That's right.

209

These dishes are from the North. You are also a Northerner

210

but spicy pepper soup has such a strong taste.

211

Hey,a re you trying to hide some unspeakable taste?

212

You are indeed smart. The smarter you are, the faster you will die.

213

Let's leave now.

214

Men! Save us!

215

I can't make it. Don't bother about me. Leave now.

216

- Don't bother about me.

- Stop!

217

We've agreed to share the good and bad times!

218

- My shoes...

- Look at the situation now. Ignore it.

219

Stop running. Stop.

220

The few of you, search over there. You, search over there.

221

Yes.

222

Wait.

223

This is Xiao Jing's boot. He should be nearby. Search now.

224

Yes.

225

Over there.

226

- What should we do?

- What do you mean?

227

- Can you swim?

- I can't.

228

It's okay. You only need to hold your breathe. Let's go.

229

Where are they? In a blink of an eye, they are gone? What about over there?

230

I couldn't find them.

231

He is from a prominent family. If his family finds out that

232

I mistreated him, I'm a goner.

233

Could they be in the water?

234

This is bad. There are lots of soldiers over there.

235

Let's leave now.

236

Xiao Jing Jing.

237

Wake up.

238

- Young Master Jing?

- You know him?

239

Get the physician now.

240

It's too late to get the physician now. Who know CPR? It's that...

241

Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Ancient Modern Chef Team @viki.com

242

Help me.

243

Your Young Master's life has been preserved but he should still see a real physician.

244

Thank you, Miss, for saving Young Master He. The general is here.

245

It's him.

246

Who's the killer?

247

Everyone was killed by him.

248

Miss, come with us to see the General.

249

Where did she go?

250

Xiao Jing, how are you? Xiao Jing!

251

♫ Time rushes on its monologue about you ♫

252

♫ Withering sentiments lost their meaning ♫

253

♫ Leisure flowers and light clouds are like you. Falling in love is so easy ♫

254

♫ Wasting the schemes, all just ended as memories ♫

255

Princess, are you alright?

256

I'm fine.

257

What's wrong? Are you okay?

258

No big deal, Royal Auntie. I want to continue dancing.

259

I learned this for a long time

260

- from the employees of the music workshop to especially dance it for you.

- You silly girl,

261

how come you are so rash?

262

Call for the Imperial Physician.

263

No need, Royal Aunt. I'm really fine.

264

Look. Can't you see that I'm fine?

265

I know that you're obedient,

266

but you really don't need to do anything for me.

267

With you to keep me company,

268

is already a great comfort for me.

269

Royal Aunt.

270

You call me as Royal Aunt,

271

but I've long loved you like a real daughter.

272

My pitiful daughter died early.

273

In this deep palace, I only have you.

274

You must take care of your health. Understand?

275

Yes, I do. I will never leave you.

276

How can it be forever? When you are an adult, you will marry someone.

277

No, I will never get married.

278

Stop talking nonsense.

279

Why are you all just standing there? Leave and get your reward.

280

What's your name? You sing very well.

281

Replying to Your Highness Princess Royal, I've just joined the Cai Music Workshop not long ago.

282

I haven't been renamed by eunuch. I only have an infant name, which is Zhaodi.

283

Zhaodi? Calling for little brother.

284

Why do I find this name so familiar?

285

Forget it. I can't recall at all.

286

Come. Reward her with this.

287

Thank you, Your Highness Princess Royal.

288

Informing Your Highness, His Majesty asks for you to discuss the offering ceremony for the ancestors in the East Temple.

289

Okay.

290

Liuli, wait for me for a while. I'll be right back.

291

Okay.

292

- I will take my leave too.

- Wait.

293

Princess.

294

Don't be afraid. You sing very well.

295

I envy you.

296

This is your reward.

297

Thank you, Your Highness Princess.

298

This is nothing. Would you like more?

299

Your Highness, are you okay. Take a seat and rest.

300

Okay.

301

Your Highness.

302

Your Highness... Have you seen a prince that ended up in this state?

303

Your Highness, do you remember 5 years ago? That time, you don't have any interest in state affairs,

304

but you were unwilling to associate yourself with undesirable government personnel,

305

hence, you attempted to commit suicide by hanging out of severe despair.

306

But I didn't die.

307

But you were able to persist despite how hard the circumstances where at that time. This time, you must hang on.

308

Don't worry. I'm fine.

309

If one wants extraordinary blessings, then he must endure extraordinary pains.

310

With Crown Prince's character, I don't believe that he won't ever commit a mistake.

311

Your Highness, you surely will make a comeback.

312

Make a comeback?!

313

Your Highness, be careful.

314

Your Highness, leave now!

315

Make a comeback? You're overthinking.

316

Your Highness.

317

Xia Chunyu, you are still alive?

318

You have suffered.

319

Between brothers, there is never a word 'late'.

320

Your Highness.

321

Your Highness!

322

Retreat!

323

Your Highness!

324

Your Highness!

325

Royal Aunt.

326

Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Ancient Modern Chef Team @viki.com

327

Royal Aunt, what's wrong?

328

Why is she still here?

329

She said that she wants to offer you another song as gratitude for your reward.

330

Start then.

331

♫ The cloud thinks of robes, while the flower thinks about its face ♫

332

Stop. What are you singing?

333

It's...Miss Poyue's 'Song of Purity and Peace‘.

334

How dare you! Drag her out and behead her.

335

Don't! It was Princess who—

336

Princess? What about me?

337

Your Highness, have mercy! Princess, have mercy!

338

- Royal Aunt.

- Your Highness, have mercy!

339

- Drag her out now.

- Princess, have mercy!

340

- Royal Aunt, don't be mad anymore. Isn't it just a singer?

- Your Highness, have mercy...

341

Her singing so so bad.

342

- Why don't we just give her poison to mute her and then expel her out of the palace?

- Have mercy...

343

- Let her be unable to talk again. How about it?

- Please spare my life...

344

Go now.

345

Your Highness Princess Royal, it was Princess! It was Princess!

346

Royal Aunt, don't be mad anymore.

347

It's not worth doing this for a songstress.

348

This is all my fault.

349

Oh, right, Chunfeng lately has given me some cute wooden dolls again.

350

Let's go take a look, okay? Please, Royal Aunt.

351

Fine. I will listen to you.

352

Liu Li.

353

What are you doing here again?

354

Liuli, I...I'm here to deliver a present.

355

It's those wooden dolls again.

356

Isn't it to help your family win the favor of Royal Aunt?

357

I've already shown it to her and she quite liked it.

358

It's not. It's from me.

359

Forget it then. It may just attract some gossips.

360

Liuli, take a look. You...may like it.

361

This is...

362

This is the image of older brother that I remember. Don't know if it looked like him or not.

363

Yes. It looks like him but I wonder

364

how is he now?

365

He's definitely still alive. We will be able to find him.

366

Okay, I'm keeping your present. I won't be seeing you off.

367

Wait a minute.

368

What's wrong?

369

The rest of you can leave first.

370

Yes.

371

I heard that you lost your temper

372

and punished a singer.

373

What has it to do with me? She distinctly sang terribly.

374

She has to sing that song by Miss Poyue and it angered Royal Aunt.

375

Only a few people knew about the story of Miss Poyue

376

and the Royal Mother of Princess Royal competing for the doting attention of the same man. Liu Li,

377

you knew that Princess Royal and His Majesty have the same birth mother.

378

Things like that is a taboo for them. Adding what happened to Prince Yu—

379

Shut up! Can you just casually talk about Prince Yu's matter?

380

What if others hear this?

381

Yes, s-orry. That's right.

382

You don't know anything and had to come here to talk nonsense. Royal Aunt initially wanted her dead.

383

Because of me, she spared her life.

384

Sorry, I said the wrong things. I shouldn't have made you angry.

385

But I know that you have always been kind.

386

It's just that you have a bad temper.

387

Is that so? I'm kind?

388

Of course.

389

Do you still remember Xueqiu (Snowball)?

390

Liuli, look. Snowball is here.

391

Snowball.

392

It seems to be hurt badly. Let's look for the Imperial Physician.

393

What's the use? I think it's going to die soon.

394

Perhaps so.

395

It must be feeling a lot of pain.

396

Liuli, what are you doing?

397

Little Snowball, don't worry.

398

If you go to another world, you won't feel the pain anymore.

399

You will always understand.

400

Liuli.

401

Everyone said that you were very cruel but I knew that

402

you didn't want Snowball to be in pain.

403

Yes, she was mute and left the palace.

404

Things can go without any hitches forever.

405

She won't discuss with anyone and also talk against her will.

406

Liuli.

407

What else do you want to say?

408

Frankly, about your original name being Zhaodi, it's already in the past.

409

In my...in everyone's heart,

410

you are the genuine Princess Liuli.

411

What's fake is not true and what's true is not fake too.

412

Master Jing. Master Jing.

413

Everything was my fault. It was all my fault.

414

You are a handsome, talented and stylist gentleman.

415

You are a great man who is broadminded. You won't remember the faults of a lowly status person, right?

416

No. Great man? I'm not a great man.

417

I'm younger than you. When you wanted to kill me and Da Yao Yao to shut our mouths,

418

you weren't like this. Just two knocks and you already can't take it?

419

Master Jing, I was momentarily clueless at that time.

420

Master Jing, I will knock my head again for one hundred times. Okay?

421

Will one hundred be enough?

422

Master Jing, I know. It was my fault in the past.

423

I regarded you as slaves.

424

I will be your horse today. Okay?

425

I will be your horse.

426

Master Jing, this is his whip.

427

Will becoming a horse cool down my anger?

428

How did you use the whip to lash at me in the past?

429

I'm going to do it to you in return today.

430

Let me whip you.

431

Big Yao Yao.

432

Xiao Jing Jing, are you okay?

433

I'm fine.

434

Come here. Look.

435

Let's do what he used to do to us in the past.

436

Can we do that?

437

Why not?

438

That's right. As a honorable person, you can do whatever you want.

439

This is for being a snob.

440

Enough. Release him.

441

It's only for a moment and you have already cooled down.

442

What else do you still want to do?

443

Okay, it's fine. If your anger is gone, it's the same for me too,

444

Men, let him get lost.

445

Yes. Let's go.

446

Move aside.

447

Move aside.

448

Go back to what you were doing.

449

Stop showing that face. You will scare everyone.

450

Da Yao Yao, you are cooking? Come, I will help you to add the salt.

451

Please don't move. As the younger brother of a General, how could I let you do such menial task?

452

Are you unhappy?

453

Did I punish Liu Qi Sheng too harshly?

454

It's not that. He should be punished

455

but he's still a staff at Heavenly Residence and I still need to work here too.

456

By doing this, did you consider the Manager's feelings?

457

He still recognize my worth and employed me.

458

But I already spoke to the Manager.

459

When he heard that Li Qi Sheng plotted against and wanted to harm us, he was furious too. He has already kicked him out.

460

Enough, I'm not blaming you.

461

Don't stay here. Look at how big this place is. If everyone is here,

462

- we won't even have standing places.

- Everyone, leave.

463

But the General said...

464

Leave now.

465

We will stand guard at the door then.

466

- Everyone, leave now.

- Yes.

467

Sorry, everyone.

468

Leave now.

469

Sorry, everyone. My apologies.

470

Da Yao Yao. My older brother is afraid that something may happen to me.

471

That's why he must get that many men to protect me.

472

He Lianxuan.

473

How did you know my older brother's name?

474

General He Lian's name is famous everywhere. Who wouldn't know?

475

Then, do you mind about my family?

476

In the past, if I knew that I made friend with such a prominent person, I will be extremely happy.

477

What about now?

478

Now, I merely wish that you are an ordinary person.

479

I don't want to have any connections with any royalty, general or whatever.
