Episode 3 recap: The Chen brothers officially became apprentices.
To Chen Weiqing's surprise, Lin Beijiang actually sold the vegetable boat and only left him a set of tools. Chen Weiqing went to the restaurant to find Lin Beijiang, but he wasn't there. Huang Shifu had some acquaintance with Lin Beijiang, so he agreed to take in Chen Weiqing. Maixiaowen, who worked as a chef together, temporarily accommodated Chen Weiqing, and everyone there was Chen Weiqing's senior martial brothers.
Huang Shifu knew that Chen Weiqing wanted to find Lin Beijiang, so he arranged for him to see a doctor. From the doctor, Chen Weiqing learned that Lin Beijiang had contracted tuberculosis. In fact, Lin Beijiang used to be a wealthy young master, but he had no interest in managing his wealth and enjoyed gambling, losing all his money. Now, he only hoped that Chen Weiqing wouldn't follow his path and wanted him to learn more skills.
Chen Shanhe and He Yufang went to the scene of a medicinal herb auction. Although it was an auction for Chinese medicine, some Western medicines were also presented. Chen Shanhe was also interested in medicine, so he successfully bid for the Western medicine that Mr. Xu was determined to win, even at a very high price. In fact, Chen Shanhe had another purpose. By giving the Western medicine to Mr. Xu, he hoped to learn pharmaceutical techniques from him.
Mr. Xu remembered Chen Shanhe's master and said he would provide the money, but any extra expenses would be borne by himself. In fact, Chen Shanhe didn't really like Western medicine, he just wanted to get to know Mr. Xu in this way and hoped Mr. Xu would give him an opportunity. Although Mr. Xu was willing to provide some money, Chen Shanhe still needed to raise the rest of the funds. When he returned, He Yufang scolded Chen Shanhe, but he believed he had a way to handle it.
Early in the morning, Chen Weiqing woke everyone up because it was his first day there, and he still didn't understand some of the routines. Since he didn't have enough qualifications yet, he could only work at the water station, but Chen Weiqing looked down on this job. On the other hand, Chen Lixia continued to learn singing from her master. The master was strict with every girl and even prohibited the use of perfume. Everyone complained that the master was treating Chen Lixia favorably.
Chen Lixia planned to make some innovations in the "Zhaixing Female Troupe," and the master didn't oppose it.
Chen Shanhe became an apprentice at Mr. Xu's shop. Mr. Xu asked Chen Shanhe if he was willing to endure hardships, and upon receiving a positive response, Mr. Xu wholeheartedly taught Chen Shanhe the important pharmaceutical techniques. Every day, He Yufang would wait for Chen Shanhe to come back at the doorstep, and even the neighbors felt that their relationship was unusual.
Because the neighboring restaurant introduced new dishes every week, it posed a significant challenge for them. Huang Shifu planned to discuss this matter with the owner and hoped to increase the costs. Maixiaotian believed that Chen Weiqing had complained to Huang Shifu, and he felt indignant. He challenged Chen Weiqing to demonstrate his skill in slicing, and Chen Weiqing accepted the challenge.
Chen Weiqing's way of slicing was different from others, but he remained calm and composed. When the time was up, everyone saw that Chen Shanhe's slices were very thick and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Chen Weiqing admitted his defeat and could only continue to work at the water station. Looking at the CT scan of Lin Beijiang, Chen Weiqing felt as if he was seeing his father and admitted that he had made a mistake, but he was determined to practice harder.
While sharpening his knife at the entrance, Chen Weiqing overheard people discussing a public execution at the execution ground. At first, he had no interest, but when he heard the name Xie Shisan, who was the enemy responsible for killing his father, Chen Weiqing listened attentively. He quickly dropped what he was doing and rushed to the execution ground. At that moment, Xie Shisan was surrounded by spectators, and Kuang Qingkui was also present. Xie Shisan's tongue had been cut off, so he couldn't speak a word.
Just then, Chen Weiqing threw a kitchen knife at Xie Shisan, but it got stuck in a wooden block instead. The crowd also threw vegetable leaves at Xie Shisan, and taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Weiqing quickly fled. However, Chen Shanhe, who was present, seemed to hear his brother's voice. He believed it could very well be his brother, but he never saw Chen Weiqing's figure again.
After this incident, Kuang Qingkui sent people to investigate thoroughly. Because Chen Shanhe not only learned medicine from his master but also studied Wing Chun, Mr. Xu enjoyed chatting with him even more. When Mr. Xu sustained a slight injury, Chen Shanhe quickly helped him with a massage, hoping to strengthen their relationship.
