[Episode 27]
Camel for sale!
Camel for sale!
Mister.
How about I give you my daughter,
and you give me that camel?
Can we exchange?
Father, don't sell me!
Stop crying.
I'm not asking you to die.
We've lost the camel hump.
We can't afford to pay for it.
I'll have to face a lawsuit
and get exiled tomorrow.
Don't blame me.
Don't sell me, Father!
Come here.
How old is she?
Just turned 16.
She is young and fertile.
Don't sell me, father!
Don't sell me, father!
Fine, I'll take her.
Thank you!
Don't sell me, father!
You are really my lifesaver, camel.
Father!
Young Lady.
I am sorry.
I really can't
stay in the same room with him.
It doesn't matter.
You can just rest at home.
Although I don't know how to cook,
I do know that everything requires
dedication.
You are now distressed and agitated.
You won't be of much help there.
I will think of another way
to deal with the cooking competition.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Gu Yanxi.
Where are you now?
That's fine.
I've been so incredibly busy in the past few days
that I hardly had time to think of you.
Physician Zhang.
It is poisonous to mix stiff silkworm and poria.
As an imperial physician,
you didn't even know about it.
And not a single word was written in the medical record
about the medicine used in His Majesty's pillow.
Yet you kept it a secret.
What are your intentions?
This medicinal pillow wasn't prepared by the Imperial Medical Bureau,
and His Majesty has never ordered us
to prescribe stiff silkworm powder.
There's only one liang of the stiff silkworm powder
in this medicine bag,
and it isn't an oral medication
but rather dispersed by its scent,
so its effects will be way less powerful.
And there are only four qian of poria
in the decoction.
Even if the two are incompatible,
the toxicity they generated
would only cause His Majesty to sleep more deeply,
but would never put him in a coma.
His Majesty is in a coma.
Don't you have something to say?
This medicinal pillow was indeed made by Changqing.
Your Highness, there's one thing you weren't aware of.
His Majesty can't sleep at all
without the poria
and the stiff silkworm powder.
I was afraid someone might take advantage of this,
so I only asked Changqing
to buy and make the medicinal powder.
There's not a third person knowing about this.
How long has His Majesty been having trouble sleeping?
His Majesty has been plagued with frequent nightmares
for ten years.
Since Lord Ling passed away,
his headache has been unbearable all night long
and it was even harder for him to sleep.
Uncle has never told me that.
Physician Zhang.
According to you,
since the toxicity of these two medicines is minor,
what is the reason that put His Majesty
in a coma?
Some unknown poison might have interacted
with these two substances
and led to this result.
Is there an antidote?
We don't even know what the poison is.
If we rashly prepare an antidote
and get the opposite of the desired result,
I'm afraid
His Majesty can't take it anymore.
Are you sure?
You saw your daughter?
I saw her clearly.
I raised that kid.
I could never mistake it.
Wonderful.
No matter how capable she is,
she's your daughter,
and you are her father.
A daughter should always be obedient to her father.
The cooking competition
is already in the bag.
Exactly.
Everything about cooking that Xigu knew
was taught by me.
I have asked around.
She's been serving as a maid
in the Hua Family for so many years.
What can she do?
Alright.
Tell you what?
You need to present yourself
as her father.
I'm all ears.
I've heard
your daughter's great skills at making pastry
were the reason why this year
the Hua Family turned things around.
You are her father.
It's good if you can convince her
to work with you.
It will be even better
if she can give us
the pastry recipes of the Hua Family.
Exactly.
Come on, drink it all.
Shaoyao.
Shaoyao.
Shaoyao.
Why don't you come in through the front gate?
Mr. Zhong knows who you are.
That's the exact reason
why I...
Never mind.
Let's go play elephant chess.
I can't.
What's wrong?
I'm worried sick.
Zhi is having a competition.
I really want to help her,
but...
I don't know how to cook.
I'm of no help at all.
What competition?
A cooking competition.
Duo told me
that if we won,
we could have lots of delicious food
every single day.
If...
If we lost,
our whole family would have to beg for food.
So what you are saying is
that Zhi
really needs help,
but you can't provide any of it.
You should have asked me.
I can think of something for you,
and it's better than you being here
worrying all alone, right?
You have an idea?
Of course.
I know everything.
[Tangxi Restaurant]
Come inside, please.
Come inside, please.
Please go up to the second floor.
[Tangxi Restaurant]
Hurry up.
No problem.
Young Lady.
Please step aside a bit.
You're in the way.
Give it to me.
Come on, serve it to the customers.
Shun, serve the dishes.
For table number two.
Go.
What now?
I can't eat anymore.
And I don't have any money anymore.
I really can't help you now.
Waiter.
What would you like?
Another pot of wine, please.
Alright, please wait a moment.
What are you doing?
Zhi.
He bought all of these.
He bought me so much food.
This is just a drop in the bucket,
and people might think that I'm cheating.
You can't do this anymore.
Mr. Shen.
No matter how much you spent today,
I will pay you back.
Zhi, you don't have to.
This...
Shaoyao.
Take all these to
Daxiangguo Temple
and give them to those who are seeking alms.
What is seeking alms?
Those people
you called "beggars".
Fudong.
Someone outside wants to see you.
Who is it?
I got it.
[Hua Mansion]
Xigu.
It's me, your father.
I have brought you some amber sugar.
This was your favorite when you were little.
Right?
I still remember.
So what?
I hate amber sugar the most now.
I hope you remember that well.
It was all my fault.
I should not have
sold you.
But after I sold you,
I was worried and anxious every day.
All I thought about
was to redeem you one day.
I really regret it.
What's done is done.
What's the point of saying all this now?
It's our destiny
that we reunite today.
Great.
That's a weight off my mind
after ten years
after I see you.
Do you know what I've been through
before I came to the Hua Family?
You have no idea.
The Hua Family is a decent family.
They've never mistreated me.
But that's because I tried so hard to survive,
it has nothing to do with you.
Xigu.
You are young and inexperienced.
It must be hard for you in the Hua Family
to win others' respect, right?
It's not easy for you,
isn't it?
You're not doing well.
And it hurts me
when I see you like this.
After all, you are my own flesh and blood.
We finally met today.
That's so good.
I can't just sit and watch
being ordered around in that family.
Xigu.
Go home with me, okay?
Go home?
Yes, Xigu, don't worry.
Our home is much better now than before.
I won't sell you again.
Now I'm the sous chef at Bai's.
Xigu.
If you promise
you can help me at the Bai's,
I can guarantee
no one at the Bai's
will pick on you.
Alright.
You finally get to the point.
Xigu.
I am getting old
and all by myself.
It's not worth it
to stay in the Hua Family.
Why is it not worth it?
I know
that Hua's food
is all created by you.
Since you were young, you've been smart, eager to learn
and also diligent in learning.
Now the Hua Family
has earned a great fortune.
But what about you?
You still dressed so shabbily.
Then what should I do?
You remember
those recipes for the pastry, right?
Come with me now.
We can find a literate mister
to write down those recipes.
And with that,
the two of us will have a well-off life.
How does that sound, Xigu?
My name is not Xigu.
Make sure you remember
every word I say.
I
am no longer Xigu.
Back then,
it was Lady Zhi
who gave me a new name,
taught me how to read,
and entrusted me with responsibilities.
Liang Fugui.
Since the day
you sold me,
I had no father anymore.
Xigu.
Xigu.
Ridiculous.
[Tangxi Restaurant]
♪Who gazes at the stars in the sky?♪
Fudong.
Why did you come back?
Young Lady, I have figured it out.
Years ago,
he sold me like an animal.
Now he wants to deceive me into being his golden goose.
I will show him.
He is a heartless animal.
And I, Fudong,
am a human being.
Good.
Young Lady.
I will help you
to catch up on the score.
♪Everything grows through the heart♪
♪Even if dreams are lost♪
♪Smoothing out the surging waves♪
I've been exhausted these past few days.
♪Only love brings light♪
Look who is here.
Our head chef Fudong.
Things today in the kitchen
have been so hectic.
And where have you been
these two days?
The past few days I've been shirking.
My apologies to everyone.
From now on,
I hope you all will join me
in uniting our efforts to surpass the Bai's.
Are you going to make
fish slice,
chicken in black bean sauce,
spicy pig kidneys,
and eight mixed vegetables?
She knows so much?
No.
Remove all these.
What do you mean?
Everyone has worked hard all day
and all the ingredients are ready.
Now you want to throw them all away?
What airs are you putting on?
It takes at most two hours
to handle these ingredients
with your skills.
If it took you over half the day today,
I knew
why they said the Hua Family served food so slowly.
Don't waste your time
on making these dishes.
These dishes
are our specialty dishes.
What can we make except for these?
Do you want to serve the customers
with your sweet hawthorn fruits?
I know
all of you have been head chefs for many years
in prestigious families.
I also know
these are all your specialty dishes.
You are willing to make the dishes
that you are most proud of.
I express my thanks to you here on behalf of Lady Zhi.
However,
why did you
all come out from those prestigious families
and accept our Hua Family's offer?
All of you are quite experienced cooks.
In knife skills,
heat controlling and seasoning,
you're all top-notch.
It's just a pity
that you keep
making your so-called specialty dishes.
You are satisfied with the present situation
without changing a thing for ten years.
Even with the most skilled dishes,
people will get tired of them one day.
I have seen it.
What the Bai's will make today
are five-flavor almond jelly goose,
preserved vegetables,
spicy stewed game,
and stir-fry venison.
Almond jelly goose
is a signature dish
from Yunlai Restaurant.
But now the diners in the Imperial Capital
advocate health-preserving medicinal cuisine,
so now they add
schisandra chinensi
that can nourish and strengthen the body.
Vinegared siskins have been popular for a while,
but now there are many vegetarians in the Imperial Capital.
So the Bai's
combine the preserved lotus root
with the preserved bamboo shoot
into a vegetarian dish.
Spicy stewed game and stir-fry venison
each originated from the signature dishes
of Banshan Restaurant and Fengxiang Restaurant.
But the Bai's surpasses them on these two dishes.
It has infuriated those two restaurant owners,
but they can't do anything about it.
Therefore,
starting today,
I will invalidate the menu
and finalize the new dishes.
What do you mean by that?
Don't get ahead of yourself.
These men here
have all been cooks
for half their lives.
Does any of you
want to listen
to this kid here?
Niu.
I won't listen to her.
What about you?
Speak up! Say it.
Fine, you don't want to answer, huh?
I don't accept this!
I'm telling you,
I've been in the business for so many years,
and I've never seen a head chef
who could cut their fingers
while chopping vegetables.
Look at your delicate
and slender fingers.
When you can hold a knife steadily,
then come and challenge me again!
She is quite a professional.
Today,
let me make this clear.
Since the Young Lady has entrusted the kitchen to me,
then I have the final say in everything.
If any of you disagree, leave my kitchen.
And you are free to go with your salary.
Young Lady gave me the right.
I can manage it
no matter whether you are here or not.
Fudong.
No, Ms. Fudong.
What do you need us to do?
Please do tell.
The weather is cool today.
The residents here favor strong flavors.
We can replace fish slice
with spicy ginger fish soup.
Replace chicken in black bean sauce with quail soup.
And serve them all in clay pots.
Let's make
the tender roasted venison
and fragrant pan-fried tofu.
Do you mean that kind of fragrant pan-fried tofu
from Shuixing Restaurant?
No.
We will add one more seasoning.
First, pan-fry the tofu with scallion oil.
Then take 20 Chinese torreya seeds, toast them till burnt
and grind them into powder.
After adding the sauce,
cook it together with the tofu.
I have prepared the Chinese torreya seeds.
You can make the scallion oil first.
Yes, Ms. Fudong.
Qian,
I know that you are not just good
at fish slice.
The spicy ginger fish soup you make is also exceptional.
It's just that the duke couldn't eat spicy food,
so you haven't had the chance to make it for many years.
Today,
may I have the honor
to witness your culinary skills?
Bring me the fish.
What are you waiting for?
Go.
Get the fish, come on.
Yes.
Get to work, go.
I was quite impressed
seeing you making quite a speech in there.
The way you carried yourself
was even better than the head chef of Bai's.
Young Lady, you are making fun of me.
I was just putting on an act.
You had no idea.
When that cleaver came down just now,
my heart skipped a beat.
Spicy ginger fish soup.
Alright!
I'll have one order of spicy ginger fish soup, please.
Make it two.
Alright!
Pay attention to the cooking heat!
One order of fragrant pan-fried tofu.
Cut this a little thinner.
[Hua's] ♪No tea plant is left withered♪
[Bai's]
♪The sky drops rain, birds eat worms, and chickens leave manure♪
♪The tea leaves may be rustic♪
Spicy ginger fish soup.
Table seven, two orders.
The wandering physicians and medicine shops in the city
have all been searched.
Even the imperial physicians have been questioned.
Some cures can bring people back to life,
and some for deafness and muteness.
But there isn't one
that can keep a person asleep indefinitely.
Sir.
You're back.
Where are the reports from the past few days?
Let me look them over.
I've organized them all
and placed them on your desk.
However,
there's nothing related
to that matter at the Palace.
Fudong.
have some tea.
Young Lady,
you don't have to.
Come on, you need it.
You spend all day in the manor,
how do you know so much
about the restaurants in the Imperial Capital?
I was quite amazed
hearing you saying all that.
Young Lady.
To be honest,
ever since you taught me how to make haws,
and entrusted the kitchen to me,
I came to realize
going forward,
I might not have to be a maid all my life.
These culinary skills
that I learned when I was little
would one day come in handy.
So
whenever I had the chance
to go out
or there were banquets at the mansion,
I would observe, memorize, and ask about everything that I considered important.
Especially
after what happened to our family last year,
I realized even more
that being a cook might not earn much respect,
but it truly is something
that can be of use everywhere.
You're right.
People always need to eat
no matter what happens.
With a skill,
you can make a living wherever you go.
It would be wasteful
to just throw it away.
This is...
Smells so good.
Steamed buns.
I want one.
Mother, I want one.
Don't fight, there's enough for everyone.
Thank you, miss.
There is meat too.
Slow down, no need to rush.
Thank you.
Slow down.
Thank you.
I want one.
I want one too.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Eat up.
Yes, eat up.
Thank you.
I want one more.
Don't eat too fast.
Give me one.
I'm starving.
Mother, try this.
Take a few more buns.
It's enough for everyone.
So delicious.
Eat up.
Are you hungry?
I've put the food here.
If you want to eat, help yourself.
If you ever get hungry,
just come here.
We will often bring food here.
Young Lady.
What's the matter?
That child is timid.
I'm afraid he can't beat the others even if he tries.
He probably often goes hungry.
Don't worry.
I'll come by often from now on.
Let's go.
What would you like?
I'd like one of these.
What is
your signature dish?
I want this one.
Another portion of fish soup, please.
I want your signature dish.
This one looks good, I'll take this.
Yes, these dishes.
Serve them quickly.
This is delicious.
Coming up.
It'll be ready in no time.
The Hua Family's cook
really has a thing or two.
How come none of the cooks I hired
know how to put in thought
like this?
Go prepare a valuable gift.
Yes.
[Tangxi Restaurant]
I have long admired your reputation,
and I have come especially to visit you today.
You're looking for me?
You must be
the head chef of the Hua Family.
May I ask your name?
Ms. Fudong,
he...
You can leave.
I'll take care of the rest.
Alrighty.
You heard the head chef.
Let's call it a day.
She's our head chef.
Why didn’t you say so earlier?
I... You...
Ms. Fudong.
We're leaving, Ms. Fudong.
Why aren't you leaving yet?
May I ask your name, miss?
Why?
Well...
That basket looks quite heavy.
Let me help you carry it.
No need.
I didn't know you were the head chef.
Please forgive me.
I am a cook
and just a cook.
You don't have to be so polite.
And don't follow me.
Then I'll speak frankly.
I'd like to ask you, miss,
if I offer three times the monthly allowance,
and give you another house as a gift.
Miss,
would you be willing to join the Bai's?
You
are Bai Mingxia?
It is me indeed.
My Lady is competing with you in the arena.
and now you are poaching me from my Lady,
you truly aren't a good person.
Miss, you misunderstand.
I am a businessman indeed,
I would never undermine others
right before the battle.
I intend to invite you to join the Bai's
after the competition is over.
Without my Lady,
I would still be miserable
and perhaps begging for food somewhere,
instead of standing here,
and looking at you.
Please leave.
I will not leave the Hua Family.
Don’t be so hasty to turn me down.
Miss.
Miss.
Miss.
- Thank you. - Please give me another one.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you, miss. - Go ahead.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
That's so nice of you.
We've got something to eat.
I'll help you.
These are the raw ingredients
that are left over today, right?
And you cooked for them.
They are people too.
They want to have something hot to eat
to warm their bellies in cold nights.
You come from a wealthy family,
you don't know
this bit of food
can save a person's life.
Thank you.
I also begged on the streets when I was young
and almost starved to death.
But unfortunately,
I had no luck
to meet a good person like you, miss.
That's why
you opened a restaurant?
Yes.
I was always hungry as a child,
it's hard to let go even after growing up.
So here I am,
doing a business to serve food and fill people's bellies.
Mother, I want more.
I had enough.
You can eat mine.
Alright then.
Give me two more buns.
You're hungry, aren't you?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Give me another one.
Come, this way.
Don't be afraid.
Hurry.
Move aside.
My kid!
Move aside.
My kid!
Get off.
My child!
My child!
Get out of my way.
Get up.
Go.
Go.
Why are they grabbing the children?
I don't know.
Move aside.
Get out of my way.
Get out of here.
Take him away.
What are you doing?
Look over there.
Who...
Who were those people?
Desperadoes.
In this Imperial Capital,
many nobles keep retainers for dirty work,
hire assassins
and even train soldiers in private.
Maybe we were just unlucky tonight
to stumble upon them.
No, I must go back.
I'll walk with you.
Alright.
I have no idea
where those little beggars were taken.
This is unusual.
We must report to the government office.
Fudong.
If I need you to stand as a witness,
will you do that?
Go report the case, Young Lady.
I will do it.
But I'm afraid
the government office might not be aware of this,
and even if they are aware, they won't do anything about it.
There is a better place
to ask for help.
Where?
The Security Bureau.
But what did those men in black
abduct those little beggars for?
[Secret Report]
Get in
or get lost.
I'm afraid I will disturb you.
I forgot to tell you something.
Lady Zhi had someone
send some new beverages yesterday.
This is yours.
I didn't dare to send it to the Palace to you.
Lady Zhi has been very busy lately.
She joined a cooking arena
and has been up to her neck these days.
But she's still thinking of you, sir.
Right.
When in the Palace,
you don't even have time to catch your breath.
Of course, she would worry about you.
Sir.
Could you try some?
So I can tell the maid that you have drunk this
and reassure Lady Zhi.
This is the new beverage that the Hua's has come up with
for the competition.
It's quite interesting.
It even fizzes.
Where are the bubbles?
There were still some yesterday.
Don't know why there's none today.
I'm afraid she might lose
using this to compete.
I'm returning to the Palace.
You take care of the affairs here.
Okay.
Sir.
I didn't know there was a note in there.
This was from Lady Zhi,
[Someone's abducting children.] so I didn't dare to open it.
I'll go find her.
Have you finished all your business?
I don't have anything urgent here.
You don't need to worry.
Go take care of your matters first.
I wrote you a note
because I thought the Security Bureau
could be of help.
Let's talk somewhere else.
You said someone was abducting children.
What's going on?
Fudong saw many men in black
abducting little beggars in the Grass Lane
and they were only abducting boys.
These little beggars
just disappeared like that
and were nowhere to be found.
But they are
living human beings.
I've said everything I needed to.
You go ahead with your tasks first.
♪The flower that falls upon the heart♪
♪They are purer than snow♪
♪My love for you♪
♪It is hidden beneath my gaze♪
I'm sorry, Hua Zhi.
I have to go.
♪Letting the time fly♪
♪I will spend my life devoting to you♪
♪Will love be fulfilled?♪
♪Tears will answer♪
When you come back,
tell me what it is all about, okay?
I will come back.
Then I'll wait for you.
Sir.
I've checked.
There are still beggars missing today,
they are all around the age of eight or nine.
I thought
this was the least relevant clue,
but it turned out to actually be a clue.
What clue?
Are you a fool?
It means that the Sixth Prince is still alive.
No matter who the other party is,
they probably haven't found him yet.
The Sixth Prince?
What do they want him?
I'm afraid
only the Sixth Prince himself knows.
But sir,
they've abducted the little beggars,
and haven't found the Sixth Prince.
We're out in the open.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack
trying to find the Sixth Prince.
It's such a hassle,
we can give up.
No, no.
Tomorrow,
you all go out to search the streets.
The louder, the better.
Search!
Some of you, go over there,
Make sure to search thoroughly.
Go that way.
Take a look inside.
Need help over here.
Officers.
Your Highness.
Recently,
every Security Bureau Guard
has gone out there
to look for the Sixth Prince.
If they do find him...
You have dispatched the troops in the capital
to search for him for so long,
yet haven't caught a glimpse of Six,
I'm afraid
they won't find him easily.
Your Highness,
we can't underestimate them,
you can't be too careful.
As long as they don't find Six,
We can sit tight.
But now,
the Security Bureau has put forth effort,
I can't be a sitting duck.
I will spare no effort
to find the whereabouts of the Sixth Prince.
before the Security Bureau does.
But what if luck's on their side
and they find him
before us?
Then I will surely
silence the Sixth Prince
before he speaks.
Don't worry.
In another two days,
it would be too late to change anything
no matter what.
Get it done.
I will.
I wonder how those little beggars
are doing now.
Young Lady.
It's the same voice from that night.
Let's go.
Alright.
What is it?
What's that?
It's a signal fire, let's move.
Alright.
It's you!
Since you've been in my carriage,
don't think about leaving.
Get in.
Young Lady.
I'm afraid
he is still in shock.
Don't be scared.
Once you're on the carriage,
no one can catch you.
There have been bad people around lately
abducting kids like you.
You can come home with us first,
and you can go back
when things calm down outside,
What do you think?
Come home?
Come on.
Baoxia.
You're back.
Who is this kid?
A little beggar out on the street.
He snuck into our carriage,
so we brought him back.
This is called kidnapping, Young Lady.
I will catch you.
Get out of here.
He...
Look at him.
Baoxia.
Go find Shaoyao.
Let her have a look at his injury.
A living child.
My name is Shaoyao.
What's your name?
Are you a puppy?
Why do you bite me?
And show your teeth.
Is your name Huang?
But it was Zhi
who brought you back.
Let's call you Jian. [*"Jian" means bringing home a waif]
You look even younger than Bolin.
Children are not supposed to bite.
Do you know that?
Come out quickly.
I need to...
I can't catch him.
I'll count to three.
If you don't come out,
then no food for you.
One.
Two.
He's really like a puppy,
longing for food.
Good boy, Jian.
Alright, stop teasing him.
He might bite you again.
Take a look at his injury.
Don't hide...
The big sister here is a physician.
Stretch out your hand and let her see.
It won't hurt.
After she's done looking,
I'll get you some food.
These...
These are all abrasions.
He also got a foot sprain.
Have you
fallen off a carriage
and rolled a few times on the ground?
Are these finger marks?
Did someone try to strangle you?
Keep this a secret.
If the Madams ask,
just tell them he's a manservant that I've bought recently.
Tell them to keep this within the family.
Okay.
Then where does he sleep?
He is timid.
Let him stay in my room for now.
I'll squeeze in with Shaoyao tonight.
Baoxia,
go get him something to eat.
Make sure it's hot.
I'll go as well.
Don't eat the leftovers,
I'll make him a fresh bowl of hot noodle soup.
Shaoyao.
Check what medicine we have at home.
Use what's in hand to treat him first.
Don't worry.
Just some minor injuries.
I've cured that mangy little yellow dog in the courtyard
when it was in worse shape than you.
It's okay.
This is so dirty.
Where did you steal this from?
Tell you what?
Since you are here,
you're not allowed to steal anymore.
If you do that again,
I will break your legs.
Are you a little mad dog?
You want to bite me?
If you don't behave, I will...
I will stew you
and eat you.
I'll add something
to make you taste even better.
I'm just kidding.
These are all good for promoting blood circulation
and relieving the pain!
