He set alight a rhinoceros horn|for illumination. while...

thousands of phantasms with ferocious appearances

Ah Nin. what the hell are you doing?

We are taking group photo; however.|we are unable to be united now!

It's inauspicious.

Young master,,, I'm so sorry!

It's ordained our business venture|will be a "smash hit"!

May the winds and waters be with us all the way!

Ling Gi,

I have to go,

Flying and flying, butterflies are playing,

You're the only one in my heart,

FOUR YEARS LATER

(Sin Cho Tong Medical Shop)

We have a customer!

I have a consignment of top grade bezoar,

Tell your boss to come take a look.

Mr, Kwan. you have been cheated! It's fake.

What? Our Benefactory have fake medicine?|It is impossible!

I'm just telling it like it is,

Top grade bezoar should have a coat|of "dark gold" on top.

with turtle-shell cracks,

and there should be a fragrance|when you sniff it.

not the smell of typha!

What are you doing here?

Young master,,,

Natural bezoar is actually the gallstone of cows.

Just like an ordinary stone,

it won't change its texture or lose its color|when put into water.

I will show you if you don't mind,

Boss Lau's apprentice is professional,

Thank you so much,

Mr Kwan. I'm Lau Shing!

Nice to meet you.

The one you praised is Ah Ngau,|He's still an apprentice,

but he's a smart kid,

He'll soon be behind the counter.

Not that fast,

Maybe 2 or 3 years.

Ah Ngau, you didn't disappoint me|and our young master!

Ah Ngau,

The esprit des corps of|"Sin Cho Tong" is truly impressive.

No wonder even Miss Susie|of the western medicine factory

can't stop praising Mr Lau's shop!

I hope the collaboration will be a great success!

Let me prepare the contract.

Thank you very much.

Good bye.

Take care.

Alright! We're back to the village tomorrow,

You check the stock in the warehouse tonight.

I'll bring some night snack here,

Yes! Thank you. young master!

Go to work...

Brother Shing, You really want to return|to the village so urgently?

I'm worried something may be amiss!

But sister-in-law makes no mention in her letters!

Look.

It's nothing special,

Should return, familiar land,,,

bitter heart. red wife...

Sister-in-law might just be suffering from anemia,|with a bit of arthritis,

Let me put together some medicine and|send it to her, and she'll be fine in no time!

No, Should read what it implies.

"Red wife" "bitter heart" "solitary life"

"unfamiliar land" "should return" "familiar|land"

"Ling Gi" happiness on sight!

Your sister-in-law said she feels lonely...

and said Ling Gi wants to see her dad so much

Obviously Wai wants me to return!

But if you go. what about "Sin Cho Tong"?

Why don't you stay here.|and I'll go visit sister-in-law instead?

I haven't seen my wife|and daughter for four years.

I've set my heart on going back this time

And I have to meet a guest tonight,|Sorry for leaving all of you.

We have a customer!

Boss. please.

Mr, Lau. you're late again,

Come here...

Mr, Lau. please...

You have been eager to lose|virginity with Mr. Lau,

Boss Lau is leaving tomorrow!

Mr, Lau. please help me.

Kill two birds with one stone. No...

Don't let them filled with sorrow forever.

Come on,,,

Mr Ho. my nose is accustomed to the smell of|medicine. it's not used to the scent of perfume.

Wow! A sage,,,

Whether it's drinking or business

you're the tops!

Come on, top man. have a few more drinks with me!

I will as long as I'm able,

but I won't try to fool anyone when I can't go on,

Mine is wine and yours is tea.

Oh, I made a mistake.

Drink some more...

Let me drink with Mr. Lau.

Young Mistress!

Young Mistress! You're here!

This place seems not suitable for you.

I want to give Mr. Lau a farewell dinner myself,

Why are you leaving?

I'm not leaving for good.|I just want to go back to the village for a visit.

as to take the opportunity to see|if there are any prospects for our business,

If there are prospects back there,|you wouldn't have had to return?

Young mistress!

Call me Susie.

You're always my best partner of business!

Without your help in these past few years.

"Sin Cho Tong" would not have been|blossomed like today,

"Sin Cho Tong" will never|have made so much money,

I'm really grateful|for everything you've done for me.

If it wasn't for the business.|would you still be willing to stay here?

Would you stay for me?

Ah Shi!

Young Mistress,

I want money, you want him,

Our purposes coincide!

My God! It catches fire!

Don't rush around! Take away the stock.,,

Herbs first! Somebody take Chinese angelica|on the 2nd floor...
