Jang-Geum figures out how to get the bean sauce back to the desired taste. Courty Lady Han tells Jang-Geum to cook bean curd soup for the King. Head Court Lady asks the King if the soup tastes different. The king says it’s the same as old times. The King asks how they got the taste back. It was because Jang-Geum found out that the secret is adding pollen. The king tells the generals to inform the citizens about the benefits of using flower pollen.
Jang-Geum asks Court Lady Han if she could go to the herbal farm to receive treatment from the palace doctor there.
Court Lady Choi and Geum-Young are upset by Jang-Geum’s success.
