It's been a while since the last time we saw Ming, and he's back in the kitchen. He's peeling the skin of a ripe tomato and cooking it in an ice-cold pan. We're not sure what's going to happen next, but we're pretty sure that's the way it's supposed to go. The next thing we see is that the ice pan has been broken into eight pieces, and the meat is ready to be cooked. Ming wants to know what the heck is going on, but he can't figure out what to do with the meat. Then he sees that the meat has been wrapped in lotus leaves, which is kind of like wrapping a chicken in leaves. He wonders what he should do with that chicken, since he hasn't even roasted it yet. Then Ming sees that nianbing's knife is a "sacred demon carving blade" , which means that the knife is holy to him.
