Chapter 5: In 92nd Street in New York (1) (2/2)

Lee Hye Seon laughed as if she was flabbergasted Jo Minjoon hugged Lee Hye Seon for a moment It was really just a moment Jo Minjoon saw the soon shocked face of Lee Hye Seon and said

“I’ll be back”

“………Call when you get there”

“Yes”

After getting past the security check and the passport control, Jo Minjoon went to the gate of his plane It was of course econoet on bussiness class

[Greetings, dear passengers We give you our sincerest thanks for travelling with our Mokdong airlines number 127……]

In theoff to the skies To arrive at New York you needed 24 hours If you bought the ticket that went directly to New York it would be only 14 hours, but just to get 10 hours earlier to spend 300000 wonhe couldn’t afford Jo Minjoon’s 10 hours weren’t as valuable as those 300 thousand won At least, he thought like that

“Grand Chef I believe in only you”

Don’t let it be 10 hours wasted but 10 minutes worth 300 thousand won

The ti There were tiht food, but it was only 4 to 5 points food It was already incredible that it got that score when the food was prepared beforehand and reheated with the oven However, after coood food on his mouth, the quality dropped considerably

And now, Jo Minjoon was tasting the fourth in flight meal

[Red Jain: (There are too h

Cooking Points: 6/10

To say the truth it was satisfactory If so like this that was reheated on the oven, it ood must it taste when fresh It was a dish that would make many chefs to question that

Jambalaya was an only kind of dish that was eaten on the southern parts of the United States as fried rice Also it was normally called Red Jambalaya when you put in some tomato sauce or slices of tomato to make the Jambalaya have a red colour It was as soft as a risotto and had a deep flavor Thesimilar to fried rice, was the perfect touch

Jo Minjoon closed his eyes and tried to feel the tastes of the Ja up of the recipe of the Ja his best not to borrow the systeth The sausage on his mouth produced the Maillard Reaction and a sweet aroma could be felt Simply said it ell roasted

Nor arlic, celery, etc After that you boiled mushrooms, scallions, and different spices The most important part here was the spices Normally you used tabasco sauce, but there was a whole world of differences on the ja on what sauce you used or what herbs you put on

“I honestly don’t know about…… tabasco What herbs did they use? Is it saffron? It’s a bit weak to be saffron… Maybe lime?”

Jo Minjoon checked the systehtly There was definitely some lime in it Besides that there was the sweet and sour flavor of the sauce

The recipe was also exactly as Jo Minjoon thought it to be After boiling lime juice and tabasco sauce, you cooked the seafood and after that put soravy And you just had to wait for the rice to be cooked and it was done

Jo Minjoon could feel his heart beating and pressed the part that said tabasco sauce However he couldn’t help but sigh at thelevel is low you are unable to view and analyze the recipe]

Although the Jambalaya’s recipe was already analyzed, you couldn’t do it with the tabasco sauce Well, that et a 6 on cooking points in an in flight meal He was disappointed but at the same time was curious about as the owner of this recipe and felt sos there seemed to be no one who tried Jambalaya to dislike it Certainly it was a dish that everyone liked When he realised that simple truth, a corner of his heart see his last meal like that, he was on New York’s La Guardia airport February 26th New York’s climate didn’t seem that different to Seoul When inhaled some air the blood vessels on your nose constricted, and because of that Jo Minjoon unconsciously started to breath from his etting on the bus setting out of the airport, a road with beautiful houses appeared after getting through a path of leafless trees They were mostly houses et on Korea, Jo Minjoon let an aard laugh It was so He didn’t knohat he was e achieved soot off the road It was a place he didn’t even know the name, but he decided to roam and find a place to stay

At that time Jo Minjoon saw a poorly dressed man with an absent minded expression Jo Minjoon approached the ave him a 5 dollar bill He stared at Jo Minjoon dazed Maybe it was because of the unexpected approach

When Jo Minjoon was about to say so to hi He fell sloppily on the floor on his butt and Jo Minjoon frowned his brows and looked at the boy getting farther away

“What was that……?”

Why did they shove people and didn’t even apologize? Maybe that was the character of New Yorkers? It was at that ot rock hard It wasn’t there That thing that was in his hands just soo, disappeared as if it rised to the skies

“My wallet!”
