But look,

there are only a few pages left.

Let me see.

This is Honey Cashew Nuts.

Yes.

This is Shrimp Rolls.

What's this drawing of?

Dad was describing

how to take the eel

and de-bone it.

And then stuff it

with different ingredients.

You can understand it?

Yep.

This is Stuffed Sea Eel.

No one knows how to make it.

Shrimp Rolls and Honey Cashew Nuts.

We could make these as appetizers.

But we still need 3 more dishes

for the starter.

Go and find that Super Fish guy.

No, you mean Little Fish.

Whatever, just find that fish.

Mom, you really think we can compete?

Just do it!

There's no use

watching from the sidelines.

Hurry!

It's not funny.

It's too narrow to walk through.

Just be careful.

You can do your preparations here.

The manager will be in soon.

So don't go downstairs for now.

Okay okay.

By the way,

I got some ingredients for you.

For the cold starter: top shell, jelly fish.

Canned top shell and jolly fish.

All right.

And here's the best one:

Sausages based on

my family secret recipe

Handed down from my Grandma.

Finest in the world.

Wonderful!

We know it's delicious by looking at you.

Okay, good luck everyone!

I have to go.

Okay, thanks!

Thanks so much.

Over here.

Great,

now we have 5 items for the cold starter.

I'll do the Honey Cashew Nuts first.

You teach them

how to make Shrimp Rolls.

Okay.

Come help out.

Us?

Yeah.

You want us to work?

Aren't you Stooge A and Stooge B?

Stooges have to help cater.

But we're just pretending to be stooges.

Go screw yourself.

We can all quit now.

We'll quit and all go to prison

for the money we owe.

You owe us money

and you expect us to work?

Fine! Let's just all quit!

So dramatic.

You'd better get me first the place.

Not second place.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Bro, can you help me move this?

Please, it's so heavy.

What's the problem?

Did you not eat? So weak!

Show some strength.

I hate doing this.

That's right. This is it.

I hate doing this.

You got it.

Do it again.

I hate doing this.

Again.

Again.

That's it.

Lift it up.

I hate doing this.

Yes yes, great job.

I hate doing this.

I hate doing this.

I hate doing this.

Okay!

Focus on feeling every single chop.

The grief's all gone.

Look.

Here!

Wear this for the contest tomorrow.

Professional!

Very professional.

No way. it's ugly.

It's not. Your dad wore it, don't complain.

Well I don't want to.

Just wear it.

Whatever. I'm going to take a shower.

The contest starts tomorrow.

Get your spirits up.

What are you going to wear then?

The preliminary round of

Taiwan's first National Catering Contest

has finally begun.

Today's challenge is cold starters.

98 catering masters

have some from all over

to prepare their best

cold starters.

They're broadcasting this.

I need to put on more make up.

Little girl.

Can you deliver this

to a woman named Chan Hsiao Wan?

Repeat after me.

Chan Hsiao Wan.

What are you doing here?

Little girl,

never mind. Thanks.

What is this?

Meaning.

What meaning?

Do you know?

Something just ordinary to others,

can have real meaning

to the right person.

This is for you.

Hope that in your life

you can find some meaning.

And that you'll think of me.

Huh?

What are you talking about?

Let's go for it!

This has gone sour.

Damn! Jolly fish has gone bad!

What's that you're holding?

I ran into Hai.

What's this?

Meaning.

It's just a century egg.

Meaning my ass.

We could replace the jelly fish with it!

Okay,

our judges

have already started evaluating.

Looks like various entries

have been selected.

Thanks thanks.

That was easier than I thought.

Hey hey hey.

Hey hey hey your ass.

Don't get too cocky yet.

We still have the second round tomorrow.

The most important thing now

is to prepare Master Fly Spirit's specialty.

Stuffed Sea Eel.

Sounds like it's hard to make.

Definitely not easy.

Not easy for sure.

That's why you have to work harder.

I'll leave it to you guys.

Be careful.

Why does she get to go?

Why does she?

Her nickname is Slacker, right?

Come on,

Stooge B,

grab an eel.

Me?

Hurry up!

Hold its head down.

You have work to do too.

Don't think I forgot.

Now take this.

And cut it open

from here.

Why didn't you warn me?

About what?

Here's the knife.

I can't do it.

Cut the eel open.

Hurry! The eel is slipping away.

Come on. Hurry.

Aren't you a gangster? Here.

No way, you do it.

You two are really awesome.

Too bad that you're bad guys.

I'm not a bad guy.

Stooge A,

pick the bones out with chopsticks.

Then stuff the ingredients in.

Impossible.

Who do you think I am?

Didn't you major in Arts and Crafts?

Move your hand.

Like this?

That's right.

Got it.

Nice!

Really.

Nice!

It's damn delicious.

Damn delicious.

Yummy.

We're going to win!

We are!

How's it going?

Finished. Here.

Slacker, try it.

Hurry.

No, thanks. I don't eat fish.

But we're making fish tomorrow.

You're not going?

That's right.

Even if you might be on TV?

On TV?

Yeah.

Hurry up.

Okay.

I need to put on more make up.

Taiwan's first National Catering Contest

has started it's second round.

Today's category is fish.

Let's see what amazing dishes

the top 10 chefs

will prepare for us.

It's show time!

Miss Wan looks so beautiful.

Nice!

Go for it!

Go Wan.

Okay,

our judges have started their evaluating.

Let's wait patiently.

Okay, the time has now come

for our judges to announce

which 2 finalists made the

final competition.

We'd like to announce

that the 2 finalists are:

Number 21, Liao Yi Tsai.

Yeah!

And Number 10, Hsiao Jin Rong.

They chose us!

No way.

Are they all blind?

How can this be?

Are you sure? That's not right!

Don't applaud.

This isn't fair.

Not right!

Wait a second.

Looks like something's going on.

One of the judges has a concern.

Everyone,

the ingredient Mr. Hsiao used

was crocodile meat.

Strictly speaking,

crocodile is not fish.

I knew it.

Right, crocodile isn't fish.

Therefore, we're disqualifying

number 10, Mr. Hsiao.

The runner up Chan Hsiao Wan is now

in the final competition.

That's more like it!

Not fair.

Must be a mistake.

Crocodile isn't fish, are you sure?

We won! We won!

How are eels considered fish?

Our final competition will be in two days.

A duel between

famous Southern catering master,

Master Tsai.

And the rookie female chef, Master Wan.

The Real Duel!

Don't push your luck.

Move it.

We've got 2 wins in a row already.

How are you?

I thought you were afraid of fish.

But I couldn't even tell.

I forgot.

Slacker, the final competition is in 2 days.

We haven't figured out

what 5 courses to make.

Okay.

Let's pick 5 courses

from the wedding menu.

Look this.

Cabbage Stew.

I can make that.

Let's do Fried River Eels.

It's your dad's most famous course.

We'll win with it for sure.

Sure.

But I'm afraid to. You do it.

Don't be like that.

I've ruined his reputation once already.

This time you have to win.

Please.

Please, please.
