Cinderella Chef (Adorable Food Goddess / Meng Qi Shi Shen / 萌妻食神) - Second Season

Hello, everyone! I'm Ye Jiayao.

I came here by a tiny accident.

Before I knew it,

I was abducted by mountain bandits

and married off to a spy in Black Wind Hamlet.

But…

because of his good look,

I just took it in my stride.

I had just become used to life in hamlet

when it took a huge turn!

Black Wind Hamlet was raided.

It's all mere play-acting.

Even without romance, I still have my grand culinary venture.

Good riddance to that bonehead!

I'm going to travel around the country

and open a big restaurant in Jinling.

I wonder if I've got the knack of meeting princes

or there are just too many princes out here.

Just like that, I got myself a cheeky, young, runaway prince

and even took him all the way to Jinling.

JINLING

In line with my grand Chinese culinary venture,

I've successfully become the head chef of Heavenly House.

HEAVENLY HOUSE

Just when my life was taking off,

I met him yet again!

What I didn't expect

was that

he actually told me…

Jinxuan, I…

HEAVENLY HOUSE

I…

Ye Jiayao, hold it! Stay calm!

He's probably going to confess to you!

He's confessing!

You…

You've put on weight.

Donkey Xia.

Who are you talking about?

DANGEROUS MOVE. DO NOT MIMIC.

HEAVENLY HOUSE

Am I really fat now?

How can it be?

No. No way!

Dishes are coming right up!

Just click subscribe!

I can't let Donkey Xia ruin my good mood!

I wonder how those century eggs are coming along.

I'd better make more when I'm free.

What a fine weather today!

Good morning, birdies!

As the head chef,

I'm going to cook up a storm today!

Good morning, everyone!

Good morning,

Yao.

Where is everyone?

So you didn't know?

Anything I should know?

Why don't you go out and take a look?

Perhaps they're all there.

Then I'll go ahead and take a look.

How strange.

Even the guests are gone.

I've seen that guy before.

He does look quite energetic.

It's built so much better than Heavenly House,

and it's right across the street!

How are we supposed to do business?

What are you guys talking about?

Well, look over there, Yao.

SAGELY PREMISE

"Sagely Premise"?

What a coincidence! So you've come to dine at Sagely Premise too?

Yes.

So that's where all the guests have gone.

No wonder it has been covered up previously.

So they were building this big guy here.

Once I've earned enough money,

I'll definitely remodel Heavenly House better than this.

Lu Xiaotian, Sagely Premise's proprietor,

is the son of Lu Yiming, the current head chef of the Imperial Kitchen.

His reputation is quite something.

A second-generation cook…

HEAVENLY HOUSE

Since we're idle…

Jiang Youli. Go and bring Zhong Xiang here.

Let's all head across and be where it's at.

-The appearance looks good. -Yes, indeed.

Finally, it's our turn.

Eat up.

"No more guests once the tables are full.

Please queue accordingly"?

There are still so many people queuing!

What's so great about this Sagely Premise?

Please be seated inside. Over there.

Sir, how many people, please?

Six of us in total.

-All right. This way, please. -Sure.

This dish looks and smells hearty.

It has quality!

It's all right.

I don't think this one is as tasty as Heavenly House's.

Hey, you just don't know better.

This twice-cooked pork tastes so right with these vegetables.

The stove stand is in the main hall.

Are they having cooking performances here?

What an exquisite clay pot.

But normally, such pots can't be heated for long.

I suppose that dish on the stove is ordered by Prince Jing.

That's right. Look at how Prince Jing is lapping it up.

It's quite tasty.

Prince Jing.

How's the food here at Sagely Premise?

Yummy. So yummy.

Chief Yao!

I'm here to scout this place for you.

Come and check this out!

There are actually stones in the dish!

Is this how Sagely Premise treats its guests?

-What? No way. -I'm sorry, sir.

Please let me have a look.

If it's due to our oversight,

this table's tab is on us.

On you?

Do you think we'll let you off so easily?

Call your proprietor here!

-A troublemaker on the very first day. -Call him out now!

Why does he look familiar?

Who else could it be?

I saw it with my own eyes!

Guys, come here quick! Third Master's wife is here!

She's no good!

Stop running!

So it's that guy.

- How much did he eat to become so fat? -What are you staring at?

You feed people stones here at Sagely Premise

and your boss is still not coming?

-You… -Yong.

-All visitors are our guests. -Who's that?

Who's that?

That's the proprietor of Sagely Premise, Lu Xiaotian!

He's so young!

Sir, please calm down for a moment.

Every dish in this restaurant is cooked by me.

I am Lu Xiaotian,

owner and head chef of Sagely Premise.

Young Master.

So you're the boss here?

Mr. Lu,

your restaurant

serves dishes with stones in them.

My brother and I nearly broke our teeth.

How about it? You should compensate us 20 taels of silver at least.

It's Sagely Premise's opening day

and we value harmony.

Your meal is on me.

Forgive me for not seeing you off.

Mr. Lu,

isn't 20 taels a tad too little?

Yes. You're fending us off with just 20 taels?

We want…

Another 100 taels.

Another 100 taels?

You…

If you're unwilling to pay,

then we won't go away.

Xiaojing.

Say, don't you think someone had put the stones in there?

Right on!

Someone might be trying a dine-and-dash!

So you've even roped in two actors to go against us diners!

Look, these two fellows have calluses on their hands.

Those are probably from years of holding sabers.
