I'll tell you what I think is a lovely, lovely touch, over there, these lovely heaters.

我觉得一个很有爱，很动人的地方，是那里的那些可爱的加热器

For people to warm their feet 'cause it's pretty miserable¹ in boots.

It's interesting, but it serves with a little bit of pork in it.

Heavy ginger.

How many of these do you go through with this bit pots of porridge?

你们要用多少这样大桶的粥

Eh, about ten. About ten! Gosh!

大概有十桶。大概十桶，天啊

We wanted to find out the secrets of such a popular porridge,

Chopping up ginger, spring onion, radish and pork under the gaze of some keen critics.

Not with that one. With this one.

The pork is coated in corn flour and popped into the pot.

I'll tell you what it is like when you still wallpaper paste when it goes really thick.

我得说它稠得就像你贴壁纸用的浆糊一样

It's sort like that consistency³.

Sometimes your food tastes like that. Go away.

你煮的有时尝起来也跟浆糊差不多。你走开

Oh, it is like that, is it?

Well, the proof is in the pudding or, should we say, the porridge.

从煮的这布丁就可以看出来，还是叫它粥吧
