This is a make up chapter

Jo Minjoon was told to bid his farewell because he was going to leave Jessie very soon, but even after having received the reissuance of his card Jo Minjoon continued to stay on Lucas’s house It wasn’t that he didn’t want to However Lucas didn’t let Jo Minjoon go, and even Jane didn’t let him At first, he wanted to decline and find somewhere else to say, But Jane’s one sentence e that let’s Jessie cross over to her father’

How could so that they will leave when they are told that Jessie too, grunted as if she didn’t like the idea, it was as if she didn’t dislike having Jo Minjoon stay

15 days passed like that On the preli in front of the cutting board and was staring blankly Or at least it looked like that in the outside However, Jo Minjoon was looking on thein front of hi score is 5]

It was a new function acquired after his level went up to 6 A cooking simulation on what you wanted to ht of a recipe in your head, it predicted the final score of that recipe

It had various uses No, saying that it was useful was not enough If he followed the recipe there would be no way to fail the cooking To say the truth, it was a strength that could shi+ne htly on a competition like ot disqualified on the stage where you designed your dish If there were no errors on your designing, it her

‘Also I’ll be able to save ingredient fees’

If his cooking skills went up by a bit you got so, you could know the flavor of a dish even without tasting the seasoning So when trying new dishes, the probability of failing also got lower But it was only ht out the best taste Someone who could estimate the very best recipe at their first time wasn’t an ordinary person People who could do that were divided in two

Masters and geniuses

Jo Minjoon was neither a enius However he could borrow those skills with restrictions Of course he didn’t posses shocking and artistic skills like them but……

‘Hard ill compensate for it’

Jo Minjoon believed that Talent wasn’t all in cooking Of course, talent could help you progress faster, but the height it could reach was similar to hard work The rest was a difference of the individual

While helping Jessie with s What Jessie prepared wasn’t simple jelly It was filled with reproach and cheeriness for his dad And that jelly beca because of those qualities

A thought crossed over hisSo what did they have to put? Hope for eating it simply? That was just a forhts, he continued thinking but he couldn’t come up with an answer However Jo Minjoon didn’t beco was a battle with oneself

“Let’s cook first”

Jo Minjoon accorded with Lucas that he would be the one to prepare all of theTo say the truth, it was consideration for each of the Jo Minjoon into her kitchen because of his situation As for Jo Minjoon, he could hone his cooking skills and save some money like he would

For the past 15 days Jo Minjoon prepared the le one It was mainly american dishes From the jambalaya he ate on the plane, to Jane’s s he didn’t know about and things he did

Even if it was a korean redients, the flavor changed Even rice was like that The rice that was eaten in Korea was of a japonica(japanese) breed, so it’s stickiness and aro And the rice eaten on America was from the indica breed 70 of the rice was indica’s

And the re 30 was called calrose and had the characteristics of both indica and japonica The stickiness was moderately mixed, and the aroma too And what Jo Minjoon handled the most these ti method was in the middle of japonica and indica You poured more water than indica but less than japonica So even handling these redients had it’s own differences The redients

Jo Minjoon was confident For the past 15 days he caredients It wasn’t that he had mastered all of them, but the theory was mostly in his head He believed that somehow, he would be able to overcome it

“I should at least pass the preliminaries”

I need to stick to it I want to stick with it With that

“Should I make cheese risotto for breakfast”

I will stick like the risotto, as it is sticky and gooey

“………Idiot, to get an upset sto hard to make it”

Inside the car on it’s way to the preli at Jo Minjoon pathetically Jo Minjoon let out a sigh while looking exhausted

“Cheese doesn’t suit with me………”

It wasn’t that he hated cheese, but every ti it Jo Minjoon closed his eyes feeling the inside of his sto out of the , it was going to be really painful Lucas, that was on the driver’s seat grabbing the handle, said worriedly

“Is it hard for you? Will you be able to take the test?”
