Episode 12 recap: Chen Shan He mortgaged his property and sent a report.

Tan Yao Heng went to find Chen Wei Qing, and Chen Wei Qing prepared a table of dishes. Tan Yao Heng said that no one is targeting him anymore, so he advised Chen Wei Qing not to be too stubborn. However, Chen Wei Qing still refused to accept Tan Yao Heng's words. Tan Yao Heng said that he would not write food reviews with a guilty conscience in the future. He wanted to start anew, but he needed Chen Wei Qing's help. Only by creating new dishes could they change the current situation.

Tan Yao Heng's words awakened Chen Wei Qing. The essence of Cantonese cuisine lies in harmony and gratitude. Chen Wei Qing decided to cooperate with Tan Yao Heng. After all, he couldn't let his mother-in-law's hopes be let down. Kuang Qing Kui wanted to go to the cemetery and asked Liao Liu Si to bring Chen Shan He along. Kuang Qing Kui said that the customs officers were originally going to kill Chen Shan He, but his companion died in his place. Chen Shan He tried to defend himself, but he naturally refused to admit it. Liao Liu Si kicked Chen Shan He to the ground. Chen Shan He said he just wanted to live a peaceful life.

Kuang Qing Kui said he believed that Chen Shan He wouldn't seek revenge, but he wouldn't keep a potential threat. He took out a handgun and told Chen Shan He to run away. However, Chen Shan He didn't run. The handgun had only one bullet, and it didn't hit Chen Shan He. It has to be said that Chen Shan He was truly frightened, and Kuang Qing Kui left.

Liao Liu Si didn't understand why Kuang Qing Kui let Chen Shan He go. In fact, Kuang Qing Kui wanted to eliminate the threat completely. Chen Shan He still didn't understand why Kuang Qing Kui spared him. Xu Boss also learned about this and reminded Chen Shan He that He Yu Fang was his weakness, so he must be careful.

Chen Shan He's current goal is to produce the medicine quickly so that he can earn more money. Everything he does now is to ensure a better life for He Yu Fang. When He Yu Fang learned that Chen Shan He was in danger, she expressed the desire to leave Guangzhou. However, Chen Shan He is not afraid of death; he just wants He Yu Fang to have a good future.

Jin Hui Rong helped Chen Li Xia find a suitable place for rehearsal. Chen Li Xia was very satisfied. Although the place looked rundown, they didn't mind. Having a venue now was already great for them.

Chen Shan He spent a lot of money advertising in the newspaper, with each ad featuring only one word. Chen Shan He waited for four days for the advertisements to be published, which would surely cause a sensation.

Chen Shan He also approached the Hong Yu Gang for cooperation. They recognized Chen Shan He's intelligence, so even though they couldn't openly associate with him, they knew that by investing in his business, they would reap benefits. On July 7, 1937, the Japanese troops stationed at Lugou Bridge demanded entry into Wanping County in southwest Beijing to search for a missing soldier. After being refused entry by the Chinese troops, the Japanese launched an attack, leading to the outbreak of the entire national resistance war.

Although Chen Shan He had placed advertisements in the newspaper, the current situation was focused on the rise and fall of the nation. Therefore, the newspaper could only publish news related to the Lugou Bridge Incident. Chen Shan He requested the editor to repost his advertisement, and the editor agreed. Jin Hui Rong also learned about the Lugou Bridge Incident and immediately left after leaving Chen Li Xia behind.

Kuang Qing Kui also recognized that Chen Shan He was a shrewd businessman, but he had not given up on having Chen Shan He find his siblings. He instructed Liao Liu Si to remind Chen Shan He of this, as Kuang Qing Kui's goal was to eliminate all three siblings.

Chen Wei Qing visited Tan Yao Heng's home, where Tan Yao Heng was also studying the situation of the conflict in Beijing. After all, his daughter Miaomiao was there, and Tan Yao Heng was worried that she might join the fighting. Students in Beijing had initiated an anti-Japanese action, which greatly concerned Tan Yao Heng.

Next, Tan Yao Heng gave all the food-related books to Chen Wei Qing, hoping to inspire him. Innovation is not easy; it requires both unconventional ideas and the use of ordinary ingredients. When the time comes, Tan Yao Heng plans to gather all the top chefs and hopes to achieve fame with a single stroke. At this moment, Chen Wei Qing began to admire Tan Yao Heng.
