Honorary Chef: Taste of Memories

Oh, don't cry, don't cry. Tell me what happened. Did someone pick on you?

Sob...

Been crying for a while now. I can't get an answer out of her.

She just came to buy Spicy Pulled Chicken, but the Fowl is already used up today.

So I said, "Come back tomorrow, I'll get the stuff and do prep." And she sat down and bawled.

She’s been like this for nearly 10 minutes now. I haven’t gotten the slightest clue what she’s so sad about.

Sob...

I, I can't do anything right every day. I can't buy what I want to eat, I... *sobbing*

And now your crying even harder. Here, let me help you wipe those tears.

Well, you get the picture! If I could just go buy some fresh ingredients, I can give her the food she’s craving for!

I want to help, but I just don't have the time. She needs care, and the shop needs tending...

I... Wow, thank you so much! I'll treat you to something nice when you're back!

For the ingredients of the Spicy Pulled Chicken, you can directly ask Mahe, we're all familiar.

Tell him I sent you and the bill’s on me.

I hope you won’t mind the hassle. I'll make sure to treat you with our speciality dishes here!

Panhua? So she's finally willing to buy from my place, huh?

I see. One moment please, I'll go get what you need real quick. Freshness guaranteed!

Let’s see here... Cooking oil, chili peppers, chicken. Perfect, we've got everything! Thank you so much! Now it's my turn to shine!

Here you go, sweetie. Dig in.

Let me taste it... Uh...

Why are you crying again, honey? Not to your taste?

No, no, it's really delicious. Just too spicy...

As a child, I was always crying, and my grandpa would make pulled chicken to cheer me up.

He used to say that if I ate something spicy, all the bitterness of life would go away and there's no need to cry.

But now that I'm older, I don't cry as much. When my grandpa passed away, I didn't even shed a tear. I thought I'd lost the ability to cry...

But recently, I was under a lot of pressure and felt wronged, and I suddenly wanted to eat pulled chicken, but I couldn't find it anywhere. That's when I...

I'm really troubling you, but I just, I just miss my grandfather...

Thank you so much, both of you. The chicken was delicious. I'll definitely be back for more.

You can come by anytime, sweetie. Be sure to wear a big smile on your face next time!

I’m glad you stopped by to help. Wouldn’t have made the chicken for her in time without you.

As a restaurant owner, you inevitably come across situations like this. Life can be tough sometimes, and a good meal can make all the difference.

That's why I started this place. When I saw that little girl crying, it broke my heart. Thanks for lending a hand today, it means a lot to me.

Thank you so much for today. From now on, you can use the pots in my shop as you please. If you have any difficulties, don't hesitate to tell me!

Look, the pot is right there. I have copied the recipe for Spicy Pulled Chicken for you. If you follow the recipe to do the cooking, I guarantee it will be delicious!

Would you like to give it a try now? Here, I have some ingredients for you. There is some left, so you can make another dish!

*sobbing*...

What's wrong, girl? Tell your sister what's wrong!
