[00:28] ---
    The task of this mission
    is to get a special seasoning recipe.
[00:32] ---
    The two people in the picture
    used to run a chain noodle shop together.
[00:36] ---
    One was responsible
    for the front management,
[00:38] ---
    the other for the backstage kitchen.
[00:40] ---
    They have been partners
    for over ten years, and been tacit.
[00:44] ---
    So, the secret recipe of the famous
    noodle has been kept by her.
[00:49] ---
    Does she keep it a secret even from you?
[00:52] ---
    I was too naive.
[00:53] ---
    I never thought that one day she would
    betray me and make a fresh start.
[00:57] ---
    That's why she is so anxious
    to get back the secret recipe.
[01:01] ---
    Well, any questions?
[01:03] ---
    No, the explanation was all-sided.
[01:06] ---
    Lu Guang, do you have any questions?
[01:09] ---
    What are the names of them?
[01:11] ---
    Yu Xia.
[01:12] ---
    Lin Zhen.
[02:31] ---
    There are lots of photos, but few clues.
[02:35] ---
    Without many chances,
    we can only try one step at a time.
[02:44] ---
    I don't understand, they've been
    partners for so many years,
[02:47] ---
    why did they break off their friendship?
[02:49] ---
    What a pity it is!
[02:52] ---
    Just do the job
[02:54] ---
    instead of caring about the whole story.
[02:58] ---
    By the way,
[02:59] ---
    if we disagree with each other one day,
[03:02] ---
    shall we break up, too?
[03:08] ---
    If you dare to play politics
    behind my back.
[03:12] ---
    Almost time.
[03:16] ---
    I'll scratch your handsome face!
[03:21] ---
    Childish!
[03:26] ---
    You stone, me paper,
[03:28] ---
    you lose, game over.
[03:34] ---
    You are more childish than me!
[03:37] ---
    Gear up.
[03:41] ---
    Dive.
[03:47] ---
    Lin Zhen, stay there,
[03:48] ---
    let me see if the new night mode is clear.
[03:52] ---
    We've worked all day.
[03:54] ---
    After the whole busy day,
    don't you feel tired?
[03:57] ---
    Today is the first day of opening,
[03:59] ---
    it's like the first night
    of our honeymoon.
[04:01] ---
    We will take a picture at this place
    and this time every year.
[04:04] ---
    Review the previous photos and
    look for any clues, then move on!
[04:10] ---
    Yu Xia, don't set anything.
[04:15] ---
    Just take the photo.
[04:17] ---
    There's a lot of work left to do!
[04:25] ---
    Everything is done finally!
[04:27] ---
    I think...
[04:29] ---
    ...even getting married
    wouldn't be so tiring.
[04:31] ---
    If it is more tiring than this,
[04:33] ---
    I won't get married.
[04:37] ---
    You just said today is our honeymoon.
[04:40] ---
    Shall we now...
[04:45] ---
    I'm joking with you.
[04:47] ---
    What are you doing now?
[04:50] ---
    You used to sleep with me after
    we watched horror flicks in the dorm.
[04:55] ---
    They used to be roommates in college.
[05:00] ---
    Stop teasing you.
[05:01] ---
    We served customers all day.
[05:03] ---
    It's time to serve ourselves.
[05:06] ---
    I'll make noodles.
[05:07] ---
    I thought you were tired?
[05:09] ---
    What are you waiting for?
    Into the kitchen.
[05:22] ---
    Is there really a secret recipe?
[05:23] ---
    It's just a pot of stew.
[05:26] ---
    Coming soon.
[05:35] ---
    Right there.
[05:39] ---
    Lin Zhen, what are you taking?
[05:41] ---
    Like you don't know.
[05:44] ---
    Playing dumb?
[05:46] ---
    Scheming girl!
[05:47] ---
    --Er...
    --Anybody home? Here comes the goods!
[05:50] ---
    Anyone home?
[05:52] ---
    Parking is not allowed here,
    open the door!
[05:54] ---
    What is it?
[05:55] ---
    Hey! I'll go if nobody answer me.
[05:57] ---
    What are you doing? Go get the door.
[06:00] ---
    Listen to her.
[06:01] ---
    If the goods aren't received,
    everything will change after that.
[06:07] ---
    Nobody home really?
    Okay, I'm leaving!
[06:11] ---
    Hurry up!
[06:13] ---
    I'm coming!
[06:22] ---
    So why'd you keep me waiting?
[06:26] ---
    Oh, it's a female boss!
[06:29] ---
    It's much better for you
    to find a good guy to get married.
[06:31] ---
    Running a shop?
    Don't you want an easier life?
[06:34] ---
    What's wrong with women?
[06:35] ---
    We have hands, feet, and brains.
    You men are shameless and inconstant.
[06:39] ---
    If you're really a man,
    move all these inside for me!
[06:42] ---
    Aren't I right?
[06:43] ---
    Yes...
[06:51] ---
    All the materials have been used up.
[06:54] ---
    I've tried my best. Enjoy it.
[06:58] ---
    What about you?
[07:00] ---
    My happiness is enjoying the expression
    on your face while you are eating noodles.
[07:04] ---
    She doesn't look so bad.
[07:07] ---
    Don't jump to judgment!
[07:08] ---
    People can change.
[07:11] ---
    As old rules, together!
[07:15] ---
    I still remember our time in
    the university, ingredients were lacking.
[07:17] ---
    We never have the chance to chose.
[07:18] ---
    Just like this,
    we put everything in the pot.
[07:22] ---
    How about we make this bowl of noodles
    a symbol of our shop?
[07:27] ---
    Nice! It will be named...
[07:29] ---
    Bowl of the Female Dormitory!
[07:35] ---
    Wow, what does she add
    into the noodle soup?
[07:38] ---
    A refreshing fragrance
    and sweet in the mouth.
[07:41] ---
    Lu Guang, it's a pity you can't taste it!
[07:46] ---
    Eh, I don't care.
[07:52] ---
    Hey, idiot. I told you
    not to add anything!
[07:54] ---
    This is out my control!
[08:13] ---
    We can't find anything in this picture.
[08:20] ---
    Ready for another one.
[08:21] ---
    How do you feel about your
    Bowl of the Female Dormitory
[08:23] ---
    becoming famous overnight?
[08:24] ---
    In fact, I don't really
    give it lots of thought.
[08:26] ---
    Cooking is my personal interest,
[08:29] ---
    and I believe that good memories
    can be kept in the meals.
[08:32] ---
    Stop, stop, stop.
[08:34] ---
    Boss, if you want to take pictures,
    turn off the flash, okay?
[08:37] ---
    It will affect the camera effect.
[08:40] ---
    I'm sorry, you just keep going.
[08:43] ---
    After that, when the
    reporters film her cooking,
[08:46] ---
    you can look for the clues of the recipe.
[08:48] ---
    Chef, let's add a live cooking video.
[08:50] ---
    The broadcast will be even better.
[08:53] ---
    Hey, reporter friends.
    Be careful in the kitchen.
[08:56] ---
    Please, please, everybody!
[08:58] ---
    That's all for today,
[08:59] ---
    it's not convenient
    to disclose any further steps.
[09:02] ---
    Oh, so stingy!
[09:04] ---
    We want to have an exclusive story.
[09:07] ---
    Failed again.
[09:09] ---
    Keep on trying!
[09:11] ---
    We strive to put all purchase lists
    into the system tonight.
[09:14] ---
    In the future,
    with the intelligent management,
[09:16] ---
    you don't have to check
    the suppliers every time.
[09:18] ---
    They will deliver on time.
[09:25] ---
    Yu Xia,
[09:26] ---
    how long haven't you been home?
[09:28] ---
    Eh...
[09:29] ---
    Years maybe, I can't remember.
[09:32] ---
    I can't go home because of the business.
[09:36] ---
    Is that all?
[09:38] ---
    Yes, confirmed.
[09:46] ---
    Everything on these lists is
[09:48] ---
    available on the market.
[09:52] ---
    Damn it! There is still no progress!
[10:03] ---
    Yu Xia!
[10:04] ---
    Here come the designs for
    the new logo. Can you choose?
[10:06] ---
    Okay, I'm coming!
[10:11] ---
    Nothing again...
[10:14] ---
    Boss, these are new tastes.
[10:17] ---
    We tried many regional
    flavors that are chosen
[10:19] ---
    from different places around the country.
[10:32] ---
    Something tasty?
[10:35] ---
    If the case failed, we will go hungry.
[10:38] ---
    Make do with it now.
[10:43] ---
    Boss, just take a break.
[10:45] ---
    It's harmful to eat
    so many noodles one time!
[10:49] ---
    No, since we want to
    open national chain shop,
[10:52] ---
    we must expand our product lines.
[10:53] ---
    Next!
[10:55] ---
    Why noodles again?
[10:57] ---
    I'm gonna puke!
[10:59] ---
    Different taste, try again.
[11:01] ---
    I ate more than ten bowls
    in the last picture,
[11:03] ---
    no noodles anymore in my future life!
[11:06] ---
    I'm so sorry, Miss Yu,
[11:09] ---
    we are trying our best
    to look for the clues.
[11:11] ---
    It's been a long time.
[11:13] ---
    We don't know where
    she's hiding and preparing.
[11:16] ---
    If there is such a difficult case
    in the future again,
[11:19] ---
    we must ask Qiao for overtime pay!
[11:21] ---
    Once she opens the shop
    with the signature noodles,
[11:24] ---
    the chain brand that
    I worked hard to build
[11:27] ---
    will be destroyed!
[11:31] ---
    You have been looking at
    the last photo for quite a long time.
[11:34] ---
    You find anything?
[11:36] ---
    No, there is no chance in this photo.
[11:39] ---
    Give it up.
[11:43] ---
    Not seeing hope
    doesn't mean there is no hope.
[11:47] ---
    Come on.
[11:55] ---
    We said that we would
    take one photo each year,
[11:58] ---
    but the second one is
    after more than ten years.
[12:03] ---
    Don't let it be the last one, okay?
[12:09] ---
    This photo was taken by Lin Zhen!
[12:12] ---
    Yes, but unfortunately,
[12:14] ---
    there are no useful clues in 12 hours.
[12:18] ---
    Lin Zhen...
[12:20] ---
    Can you stay?
[12:23] ---
    You got intelligent management,
[12:25] ---
    a precise cooking line,
[12:27] ---
    and perfect commercial packing.
[12:31] ---
    It's really not the place for a person
    like me who cooks with passion.
[12:40] ---
    But why don't you try to adapt, to change,
[12:43] ---
    to achieve a greater dream?
[12:47] ---
    The noodle shop over ten years ago
[12:50] ---
    is my greatest dream.
[12:52] ---
    But you have seen, our business
    is getting better and better,
[12:55] ---
    more and more customers need our service.
[12:58] ---
    They're all for you.
[13:00] ---
    It's you who makes them feel happy!
[13:05] ---
    I'm sorry!
[13:07] ---
    I don't have enough happiness
[13:09] ---
    to share with all the people.
[13:11] ---
    So we need more money, a bigger group,
[13:14] ---
    and even more better resources to help us!
[13:16] ---
    No, it's only for you.
[13:22] ---
    In order to expand the influence,
[13:23] ---
    such a disgusting brand name can be used.
[13:26] ---
    This shop no longer belongs to me.
[13:32] ---
    Leave the recipe to...
[13:36] ---
    Ah, I don't know either.
[13:39] ---
    Idiot.
[13:40] ---
    Say the lines!
[13:41] ---
    I have nothing to say.
[13:42] ---
    This is our common property,
    no one has the right to own it!
[13:46] ---
    I can seek a lawyer and sue you!
[13:48] ---
    Suit yourself!
[13:49] ---
    She is the one who totally changed.
[13:53] ---
    Nothing is absolute, just walk away.
[13:56] ---
    Excuse me.
[14:04] ---
    Where are you going?
[14:08] ---
    Back to the beginning.
[14:11] ---
    I'll restart.
[14:35] ---
    How is it going?
[14:36] ---
    Is there any information about the recipe?
[14:40] ---
    Ah, I seek it all over,
    but nothing useful.
[14:46] ---
    Do we have any other chance?
[14:49] ---
    None.
[14:51] ---
    She's crying all night at home,
    not going anywhere.
[15:31] ---
    Yo.
[15:32] ---
    The details of your performance
    were quite in place this time.
[15:36] ---
    I used to know you were cold and negative,
[15:38] ---
    I didn't expect that
    you could be so weird now.
[15:41] ---
    You're such a disgusting man!
[15:44] ---
    Let it out.
[15:46] ---
    I've been driving for so many years
    and have seen so many people.
[15:49] ---
    Ladies who talk to themselves after
    arguing with the husband just like you.
[15:54] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[15:55] ---
    It just goes in one ear and out the other.
[16:04] ---
    Xiang Zhuang...
[16:06] ---
    Hey, Xiang Zhuang is a good place!
[16:09] ---
    Not so big, but there are lots of trees,
    water, and beautiful scenery.
[16:13] ---
    There's also a plant
    called fragrant flower,
[16:17] ---
    with beautiful blossoms
    and a pleasant smell.
[16:21] ---
    Local people dry and grind it into powder
[16:23] ---
    to use as seasoning.
[16:25] ---
    That is to say, Lin Zhen often
    goes to Xiang Zhuang for...
[16:30] ---
    ...stocking?
[16:35] ---
    Your assertion should be right!
[16:37] ---
    And because it's a folk recipe,
[16:39] ---
    few people know that.
[16:41] ---
    What Lin Zhen puts in the soup should be
[16:43] ---
    the powder of fragrant flowers.
[16:46] ---
    It only grows in Xiang Zhuang,
    and only in small quantity.
[16:49] ---
    You mean... Xiang Zhuang fragrant flowers?
[16:54] ---
    Yeah, of course.
[16:56] ---
    It's just what we infer from the clues.
[16:58] ---
    In fact, maybe you need to
    ask someone to sample it.
[17:03] ---
    That's right.
[17:04] ---
    Yes, that's it...
[17:10] ---
    I finally find it.
[17:24] ---
    Mission complete!
[17:27] ---
    Believe it or not,
    I was afraid of eating that before.
[17:30] ---
    But now that I can't eat it...
[17:32] ---
    I even miss the taste.
[17:35] ---
    It's a pity you never had the chance,
[17:37] ---
    and you will never know how it feels.
[17:39] ---
    Get away!
[17:46] ---
    Why'd we miss this one here?
[17:50] ---
    This is the screen saver of
    Lin Zhen's mobile phone!
[17:53] ---
    That would've been taken in their dorm.
[17:56] ---
    When Qiao Lin comes here,
    tell her to return it.
[18:01] ---
    What's your problem? Fussy idiot.
[18:04] ---
    Noodles, noodles, noodles!
[18:07] ---
    Can I go to eat that for the last time?
[18:10] ---
    No!
[18:11] ---
    How can you enter the client's photo
    for such naive reasons?
[18:14] ---
    Oh, come on, one last time.
[18:17] ---
    Please!
[18:19] ---
    No way!
[18:24] ---
    You!
[18:31] ---
    You are smart, Lin Zhen!
[18:34] ---
    Noodles in the rice cooker...
[18:36] ---
    Great! Really great!
[18:37] ---
    You're an absolutely brilliant cook!
[18:40] ---
    Maybe it's a good choice for us to open
[18:42] ---
    a small noodle shop
    nearby after graduation.
[18:44] ---
    Hey, Lu Guang.
[18:45] ---
    What should I say?
[18:51] ---
    There are take-outs
    everywhere in the future.
[18:53] ---
    That will never do.
[18:55] ---
    We should learn about
    intelligent management,
[18:57] ---
    and we should get an APP, too.
[18:58] ---
    Oh? APP?
[19:01] ---
    What is APP?
[19:02] ---
    No, no, no, opening a shop
    together is also great!
[19:05] ---
    No, no, no, opening a shop
    together is also great!
[19:08] ---
    Shall we call it Xia Lin
    noodle shop? Okay?
[19:13] ---
    It doesn't need to be a big shop,
    a small one is enough.
[19:16] ---
    Half year of work and
    half year of rest, how wonderful!
[19:20] ---
    Hey, wait a minute!
[19:22] ---
    My parents ask me to take so many
    local products from my hometown to school.
[19:39] ---
    In our Xiang Zhuang,
[19:42] ---
    the elders like to sprinkle the powder
    of fragrant flowers on food.
[19:55] ---
    They said the taste of fragrant flowers
    could awaken people's best memories.
[20:18] ---
    It smells so good,
    with a little earthy fragrance.
[20:22] ---
    Hey! Did you laugh at me?
[20:24] ---
    Give it back to me!
[20:26] ---
    Give it to me!
[21:01] ---
    Lin Zhen.
[21:12] ---
    Welcome back.
[21:40] ---
    As the saying goes, the book's meaning
    reveals itself on the hundredth reading.
[21:44] ---
    Try my copy, Bowl of the Male Dormitory!
    What does it taste like?
[21:49] ---
    If you dare to change the photo shop
    into a noodle shop, I'll leave right now.
[21:53] ---
    Nobody can leave
    before the debt is paid off.
[21:56] ---
    Yo, noodles!
[22:01] ---
    Hey, you take one bowl away,
    what about us?
