Still Lala (我是杜拉拉 / Wo Shi Du La La)

Episode 3

Gifting notebooks? They're so useful.

Don't they need to record things?

Between coworkers,

notebooks are a good gift. Simple and easy.

Isn't this the best?

Solicitous while hiding evil intentions. That's fishy.

Suspicious...

Hello, Mom.

I just want to remind you that you are cooking today.

You should get groceries from the night market.

That's when they are the cheapest.

Be careful if you buy fish or shrimp.

You have to make sure they are alive when you buy them.

If they are dead, you shouldn't buy them.

Okay, Mom. Don't worry. Bye.

Which button did I press?

No...

This is very important for our HR...

So...

General Manager Huang.

Du Lala, what are you doing?

Did you not sleep last night. What is this non-sense?

Good thing you sent it to me. This would be really bad if you send it to our customer.

So... this was a... joke... Haha.

You need to wake up, wash your face.

You are an experienced employee. hHow can you make such a stupid mistake?

Look at it.

General Manager Huang,

Lala did not do this on purpose. Good thing it went to you.

By the way,

I put together the financial report you wanted. Do you want to take a look at it?

It's in my office.

Drink some coffee to wake yourself up.

Suspicious!!

Cooking is easy. You just need to follow the recipe.

For someone smart like me, it's gonna be a piece of cake.

Du Lala, you have to succeed this time.

I'm already having a really bad day.

Miss, you haven't eaten at our shop for a long time.

You are getting groceries? You are cooking?

Think about it, you are so busy with work. There's not enough time for you to rest.

Plus cooking and all the other house chores,

how are you ever going to rest?

Look at the new dishes we are introducing.

Farmer's Roasted Chicken, Steamed Eggs with Clams...

I don't have time to listen to you. I need to go home and cook.

Wait.

How long does it take for you guys to have a 4 dishes plus 1 soup ready for take-out?

What?

This tea is really calming.

Mom, I'm home.

You are home!

I brought lots of fresh produce.

You got lots of stuff!

Great! Let me help you.

Lala is going to cook for us!

You went to the night market, right?

Yes. They are the cheapest.

The celery is a bit old.

But look at these!

I told you they are cheap, but they look so good.

I'll help you!

Mom, I can do this myself.

No. This is too much work for you.

I want to help. - Mom, I can do this.

Mom, mom. Don't worry about this.

Lala said that

she wants to show us her skills.

It's so hot now, why don't you take a shower?

After you finish showering, she will be all done cooking.

Mom, I'll be fine.

I will be fine.

Are you really going to cook?

What am I looking at?

Du Lala.

I'm gonna tell my mom.

Please don't!

I'll go and help you watch the judge.

Ta-da.

Let's eat.

Mom, Lala knew you like fish.

She bought... bought a fish and

cooked it.

Yes, yes.

The highlight is that

the skin on this fish is completely intact.

When I cook myself, all the fish skin is gone.

How did you cook it?

Did you add salt into the pot?

Yes.

Yes.

I put salt on the fish as well.

You don't need to put salt on the fish

because the soy sauce is salty enough.

We need to eat less salt.

Mom, give it a try.

How is it?

Du Lala, my Daughter-in-law,

I approve of you.

Really? Haven't you notice that I've gained some weight? It's all because of her cooking skills.

It's not that I'm asking for too much,

but shouldn't we have a soup as well?

Soup?

Oh, soup...

It's been really humid recently so I told Lala not to make any soup.

We'll drink tea after dinner.

Good point. We'll drink tea after dinner.

Let's eat.

Who is it?

I'm going to check on it.

Try this.

Who is it?

Hey.

Wait!

You forgot your soup.

Wait, you guys started eating already? Heat it up in the microwave.

I purposely brought it over.

I even asked for some break time from our manager.

Were the dishes any good?

You should go now.

So, go.

I'll leave now.

Mom, the soup is here.

Take-out?

Mom, let's finish eating first.

I want to eat what my Daughter-in-law cooks.

I won't eat any take-out.

Soup... Mom...

Mom.

What?

Mom.

We're here to apologize.

Don't be mad. Lala wants to always be the best.

Plus she really wanted to give you a good impression.

Don't be mad at her. Please.

Mom, I'm really sorry.

Lala,

are you stupid?

You can't fool me.

I'm at home every day. What are you planning to do?

Get take-out everyday and tell me you cooked it?

Do you think I'm stupid?

It's fine if you don't know how to cook or do the house chores. You can always learn.

But you lied. This is bad.

Xiao Wei lied too.

I don't even know what to say to you.

Mom, you can say whatever,

but you have to take care of your health.

You didn't eat anything tonight. Should I grab some vegetables for you?

You can eat some...

That's fine. I'm not hungry.

Mom, don't be mad. I have to take a call.

Go, go...

Hello?

Mom, are you really not hungry at all?

What a stupid question. How can I not be hungry? I didn't eat anything.

How about this? I can make a smoothie for you.

We buy fresh fruits every day. Is there anything you don't like?

No. Wait...

I'm allergic to 'shiduopili'. (Strawberries)

Okay, I'll make it now.

Please wait a moment.

Mom, your smoothie.

Hmm...

I like this smoothie.

It's good!

Thanks, Mom.

Do you want another cup? - No, no that's enough.

Wait...

What's wrong?

Wait.

What did you put in it?

I didn't put anything abnormal.

You put...You put 'shiduopili's! (Strawberries)

No, no I didn't put pears!

Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei.

Please hold on. - Xiao Wei.

Yes, Mom.

She put 'shiduopili's! (Strawberries)

What? - She put 'shiduopili's!

What did you put?

I put in the smoothie...

Apples, banana, strawberries... - Strawberries?

Mom's allergic to strawberries.

She didn't say. She said 'Li'! (Pears)

Not 'Li'. It's 'shiduopili'!

Isn't that still pears?

I'm so itchy.

So itchy...

Go to the hospital.

Strawberry?

'Shiduopili'?

Mom, don't scratch.

Don't scratch. Let the doctor have a look.

You did this on purpose.
