At the end of the Journey to the West , Sun Wukong , Zhu Bajie , Sha Wujing and Xuanzang became gods . They got all what they wanted as gods , and were satisfied with their life . However , Zhu Bajie wasn ' t content . No matter how much he ate , he still had an empty feeling inside of him . After thinking for a long while , he had realized what the problem was . He wanted to make food himself .
Zhu Bajie ’ s stubby legs immediately took off running , finding his old travel buddies to accompany him on his new journey to the west . He had made up his mind to travel across the continents and collect cooking ingredients , and make the ultimate dish that he had dreamt of .
After a few hours , Zhu Bajie managed to gather everyone inside a room . “ Why are we here again ?” Sun Wukong asks , scratching his head while yawning . Zhu Bajie suddenly slammed his fists onto the table , causing the half asleep Sha Wujing jolt up in shock . “ I want to create the best dish ever to exist .” As soon as he finished speaking , Xuanzang immediately stood up from his seat . “ I ' ve got better things to do , you can deal with this by yourself .” He spoke as he walked to the exit . “ Please stay !” Zhu Bajie exclaimed . “ Xuanzang , it ’ s free food !” Sun Wukong added . “ Well , it ’ s not really free since we have to make it ourselves .” said Sha Wujing . Sun Wukong gave him a glare . “ Just go with it .” “ Fine , fine .” Xuanzang said as he sat back down . “ I ’ m getting a bigger proportion .” He added . The day quickly went by as they discussed their plans on where to get their necessary ingredients .
The next day , they had already begun their journey . As they were walking , Zhu Bajie filled everyone in about what they ’ re making . “ Behold !” He bellowed , as he stretched his arms out . “ We ’ re making lobster curry !” “ Wait . That ’ s the only reason why we ’ re travelling so far ?” Sha Wujing questioned . Zhu Bajie nodded slowly . “ You ’ re kidding me …” Sha Wujing spoke as he puts his face in his hands , letting out a long sigh . “ You could ’ ve just made it in the kitchen !” He added , questioning himself why he even agreed to come with him . “ You see , if we do it in a mortal way , we can experience the tension and much more !” Zhu Bajie explained as he skipped his way beside Xuanzang , who was reading while walking .
“ So according to this Google thing- ” Sun Wukong started speaking . “ How did you get the wifi thing you need ?” Zhu Bajie interrupted . “ Now as I was saying ,” He continued , ignoring Bajie , “ the best lobsters you can find in the world is in Scarborough , Maine , the best rice fields are at Vietnam and the best curry chef is currently living in Britain , called … uh … Olive Jam .” “ We can go to Vietnam first , it ’ s the closest .” Xuanzang suggested . ( Jamie Oliver to be precise , they cannot read English that well .)
The four of them travelled on Sun Wukong ’ s Somersault Cloud , straight to Vietnam . When they landed in the rice field , they could feel the grass swaying next to their ankles . “ Everyone , let ’ s start working !” As soon as they started picking the rice , a young woman appeared . “ What are you doing ?” She asked . Everyone stopped in their tracks as Sun Wukong glanced at the girl , only to leave his eyes smoking . Without a word , he pulled out his Ruyi Bang and pointed it threateningly at the girl . Xuanzang glared at him as a shriek of pain came from Sun Wukong while m he grabbed his headband . Xuanzang was muttering the special chant under his breath , causing it to tighten . “ How many- ” Before he could finish his sentence , the headband tightened even more . Sha Wujing interrupted Xuanzang : “ Xuanzang , please let him do it . How many times did you forbid him to hit a lady , and then you end up tied up inside a pot ?” Xuanzang stopped in his tracks and remembered . A lot of times . He sighed and allowed Sun Wukong to do we he needed to . The woman backed up slowly , turning into a phoenix . Sun Wukong then said a word that made Xuanzang tighten his headband . After they collected the rice , they put it inside their sacks .
“ What if we split up and go to get the lobster and the curry chef ?” Sun Wukong asked . “ We ’ re not / kidnapping / the curry chef , we ’ re just asking them for advice about cooking curry and maybe taking some back .” Zhu Bajie corrected him . “ I think it ’ s a great idea .” Xuanzang spoke . “ Then who ’ s pairing with who ?” Sha Wujing questioned . After a long discussion , they ' ve decided that Sun Wukong is going with Xuanzang to get the lobster , and Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing will get Olive Jam .
