This soy sauce has thickened into paste,

it can be diluted.

Oh?

If you have soy sauce

that's 2500 years old

even diluted with water 10 times

the flavor is still 250 years old!

Whoa!

Auntie,

are there any water chestnuts left?

All gone! They're not in season.

Get some cabbage!

They're the best right now.

You think cabbage will be okay?

No problem.

I don't like water chestnuts anyway.

I like cabbage more too.

Out of gas.

What?

It's hot.

Come on.

I think we got it right this time.

Bamboo and Scallops, version two.

How is it?

Fail.

Fail.

Fail.

Is it that bad?

What did I do wrong?

It's missing some flavor.

Don't worry. Let's make rump roast first.

Okay.

I wonder

if they found traditional soy sauce?

I'll call them.

I can't tell what's missing at all.

Hard to tell.

Weird.

I called Demon but it's not going through.

Don't worry.

I can tell you

if they will successfully deliver.

Please pick 3 cards from the deck.

You see!

Clubs mean vegetables.

Queen means Cubic basket.

It says there is a basket of vegetables.

Why did you pick the highway route?

I thought we'd go faster on a bigger road.

Every road leads to Taipei.

What the hell?

Every road leads to your a**hole.

The Jack of Clubs.

What color is it?

Black black black.

Right,

what's the color of soy sauce?

Black black black.

And doesn't the shape

of the letter J

look like soy sauce pouring out?

Black black black.

And...

King.

A King has noble supporters!

And the number 13,

13 means lots of them.

It means many noble supporters.

Over here!

Why don't you ever carry your wallet?

I assume you'll have yours.

I spent all my money on cabbage.

Any ideas on how we'll pay for the gas?

Buying betel nuts, handsome?

Can I go online for a second?

Okay, sure.

Thanks.

Bamboo and Scallop version 5, fail.

Okay, let's just take turns sleeping.

You can go first and sleep in the van.

What about you?

I have to do something.

You've been acting mysterious

and disappearing a lot.

Did you go back to being an AV actress?

Can't take a joke?

You're here.

Yep,

what's going on today?

I'm catering!

Catering?

Hurry, come help.

Yes Master! Your Stooge is here.

Good girl.

What's this?

Some leftover Salted Fried Chicken I got.

I'm going to use it to make

Eggplant with 3 Flavor Chicken.

Can you mix them up like that?

Why not?

There are no rules

about what goes together.

Now, Leftover Salty Congee.

Come, everyone!

Let the banquet begin.

Let the banquet begin.

I'd like to toast you all.

Today is a really special banquet.

Thanks.

Thanks, everyone.

I'll tell you something.

In the old days of catering,

a master would show up

with only his utensils.

Did you know that?

I didn't know.

You didn't?

Come with me.

I'll tell you more.

You guys enjoy the meal.

In the old days, a catering master

would leave home

with only his cooking utensils.

Just knives and sieves.

No need to bring anything else.

He'd also bring an apprentice

who didn't bring anything either

except for the cooking utensils.

When he came to the host's home

the host would have everything ready.

All the ingredients would be there.

Neighbors would offer fish and vegetables

if they could.

Most importantly,

all tables, chairs, bowls and plates

were borrowed from neighbors.

You drew all these.

No big deal!

They're just for fun.

Look.

Here.

If a pig was sacrificed,

the catering master would

divide up the meat perfectly.

He had to get it right.

Both he and his apprentice

would then start cooking together.

Country folk back then

only had a few good meals a year.

Everyone came out and were so happy.

Look at you, Stooge.

You did a lot today.

Helping me out.

Everybody helped out and looked happy.

Then the banquet started.

What was the banquet for?

A wedding.

And the newlyweds really loved it.

Then the desserts

and fireworks as the ending notes.

The guests all enjoyed the food.

The host was very honored in the end.

He would give an entire chicken

or a piece of pork

to the catering master.

What else would the catering master get?

He would get...

affection

and appreciation.

More importantly,

he was happy and satisfied in his heart.

Is that

the traditional heart?

That's the traditional catering master.

But that time

has long gone.

Come on, let's go.

Daughter of Master Fly Spirit,

I can't teach you how to cook his dishes.

I can only give you this.

What is it?

It's a dried turnip aged for 40 years.

How do I use it?

We have our hands,

and they have their mouths.

No matter how good your cooking is,

you can't satisfy everyone.

But if your heart is full of joy,

the food will taste good.

Thank you.

No thank you.

Uncle!

You surf the web, too?

Live to learn and learn to live.

Demon!

So cool!

(The Leftover Stew)

Miss Wan!

Ladies and gentlemen,

today is the final round of the contest.

Both finalists

have already started preparing.

The Banquet Contest starts at 6 tonight.

Stooge B,

how's it coming along?

Finished 20, 2 more to go.

I knew you'd be great.

Keep at it.

Hey hey hey.

And you?

I don't know what I did to deserve this.

Having to stuff turtles into chickens.

Oh no!

It ripped apart!

Ripped apart?

You know how hard I tried?

And you ripped it right away!

It ripped. What can I do?

Hey hey hey.

Okay! Okay!

No time to get mad.

You go help wash the vegetables. Go.

Damn, do you think I'm some trainee?

I'm not even getting paid.

And I have to do everything.

Shut up.

We need more helpers.

Should we get Animals on Call to help?

No,

they have a special task.

What now?

Hey hey.

Rosemary,

Can you come help?

Any pay?

Yes, prize money!

Really?

Um.

Come on.

Rosemary, help wash the vegetables.

After that, you can do fish paste...

Go away.

What are you doing?

I asked you to wash...

I've watched for a while.

You're doing it all wrong.

What are you doing?

You have to out the turtle

into big pieces before you

put it inside the chicken

and then into the pork belly.

That's easy. You should've told us earlier.

You could have prevented our fight.

That's right.

Hey hey hey.

How do you know all this?

When Grandpa made it before,

I watched.

WC!

Then... can you make

Chrysanthemum with Bamboo

and Scallop?

Easy.

Really?

It's missing shrimp paste.

That's the missing flavor,

shrimp paste.

Rosemary,

you're amazing.

Master Tiger Nose passed it all on to you.

You're a national treasure.

Okay.

Okay.

Let's do what Rosemary does.

Or we'll be out of time.

There are a lot of tables.

Right.

We also have to make Rump Roast

and Shark Fin.

Right.

We don't have shark fin.

What should we do?

We'll have to rely on this.

Wang family's 2500 year old soy sauce.

5!

4!

3!

2!

1!

The final round

of the First Taiwan Catering Contest

has begun.

Chairman Hsu,

let me introduce the most senior

catering master, a national treasure,

Master Tiger Nose.

I especially arranged for him

to sit with you.
