Episode 22 recap: Chen Li Xia compromised to save her godfather.
The owners of the pharmacy are currently debating whether to cooperate with the Japanese. Chen Shan He is now their backbone, and he mentions that his loved one was bombed by the Japanese, leaving no remains. He is determined to seek revenge. Liao Liusi quickly found Ruan Fei Zhou and informed him that they had three days to make a decision. It worked very well, and most people were willing to cooperate.
Liao Liusi has recently been surrounded by many subordinates because he is worried that Kuang Qing Kui will eventually kill him. Chen Li Xia's master is one of the people who refuse to cooperate. The Japanese are suppressing them forcefully. Jin Hui Rong's master has also been detained. Chen Li Xia's master quickly sought help from Chen Li Xia, unaware that Ruan Fei Zhou was also there. Ruan Fei Zhou said it was fine to let them go, but the condition was that they had to perform on stage when the Japanese artists visited. Chen Li Xia agreed, considering it a normal performance, but the other masters were reluctant. In anger, Chen Li Xia wanted to leave and even said she would die to show Chen Li Xia.
Ruan Fei Zhou told Chen Li Xia that the provocation was just acting in accordance with the law and that he actually cares about their relationship. Ruan Fei Zhou wants to get closer to Chen Li Xia, but she keeps avoiding him. San Guo has plans to seal Chen Shan He's pharmacy but is threatened by Chen Shan He with a gun, leaving them motionless.
Chen Wei Qing and Tan Yao Heng have not sold a single dish. They have to find a way to sell their talents to a restaurant in order to make a living. People thought there was no hope after they finished cooking, but the boss asked them to stay. The restaurant now needs Chen Wei Qing's skills, and Chen Wei Qing needs to make a living, so they agreed.
Tan Yao Heng has always envied Lin Bei Jiang because Chen Wei Qing always calls him "master" but never considers himself one. Chen Shan He is under close scrutiny by the Japanese, so he has to leave for now. Before leaving, he handed a letter to Tan Yao Heng and gave him a few gold bars to pass on to Chen Wei Qing. Although he can't leave with his younger siblings this time, he believes they can shine in their respective fields.
The Japanese chefs in the restaurant couldn't sustain their business, so they handed the restaurant over to the government. In fact, they held Chen Wei Qing in high regard and kindly offered their own kitchen knife to him. However, Chen Wei Qing directly refused. Chen Wei Qing learned that the people coming to have dinner tonight had agreed to cooperate with the Japanese. Wang Jingwei had already advised Chiang Kai-shek to surrender. Chen Wei Qing cooked a meal with the words "collaborator" engraved on it and then left the restaurant directly. For him, he would never sell himself out to the Japanese.
Chen Shan He discovered that his younger brother was also wanted near the military police station. He immediately called Liao Liusi, but unexpectedly, Chen Wei Qing intentionally spread the rumor that Wang Jingwei was a collaborator, making him the target of a city-wide manhunt. Chen Shan He was worried about his brother's safety, so he had already arranged a small boat to send his brother away.
Chen Shan He didn't actually leave Guangzhou. He hid in the shadows and watched over his siblings. Before his older brother departed, Chen Wei Qing asked if he had done anything wrong. Chen Shan He said that he and their parents were proud of Chen Wei Qing. Chen Wei Qing left with a sense of contentment.
Chen Shan He went to find San Guo You Xi. San Guo You Xi wanted to learn Chen Shan He's skills, so he had to listen to what Chen Shan He had to say. San Guo You Xi followed Chen Shan He to treat his daughter's illness, and now only Mr. Xu could save San Guo You Xi's child.
After Mr. Xu learned about the situation, he was unwilling to help because he didn't want to save the Japanese. However, persuaded by Chen Shan He, he agreed. Mr. Xu gave the pill to San Guo You Xi, who quickly gave it to the child. San Guo You Xi was extremely grateful to Mr. Xu for saving their child's life, no matter what.
