Chapter 36: Absolute sense of taste (1) (2/2)
It wasn’t a loud voice But it couldn’t be helped but to be heard more clearly than ever Jo Minjoon just looked at Alan Alan brought a big wooden box to the table where the judges were When he opened the box, a groaning sound could be heard from the participants Because they could deduce what the the at that
Alan said
“It will be a tasting mission The fried tofu pockets that are in front of you each contain different things The ingredients that are contained in a pocket are twenty You will have to say what those twenty ingredients are and guess the contents The three that guessed the least aet eliht, will also get eliminated if there are already three eliminated people”
Jo Minjoon just looked at the wooden box There were 10 pockets inside of it And they were all numbered
At the sa this mission He couldn’t help but think like that Because he had the strength of the systeredients better than anyone in the world If they didn’t have an absolute taste like Kaya, it was iredients as precisely as Jo Minjoon
The cooking score of the fried tofu pockets varied They were mostly 5 points, but there were also 4 points It seeredients inside of it rather than the flavor Alan elevated his tone of voice
“Pick your fried tofu pockets The turns will be decided with the order of the numbers”
At those words, the participants approached the pockets and picked a nu that disappeared was the number 1 pocket It was understandable Because in these kind of o first Because in the end, they just had to wait for three ot a lower score than them It was better to know their own score early on But of course, if a situation occurred where they got 2 ingredients right, it would be a coless election
Because Jo Minjoon didn’t hurry, the re numbers were only 8, 9 and 10 Jo Minjoon picked the nulanced at Jo Minjoon and then, opened his o first Why didn’t you hurry?”
“Because it’s less”
He didn’t knoould interpret that, but Alan stared at Jo Minjoon for a while But fortunately, he didn’t extend the conversation As Jo Minjoon got back to his place, Alan looked at the participant with the number 1 pocket and said
“Selena, come out and try your fried tofu”
Selena The one who clai her apron and walked forith a faint sredients in a rather bright voice But when she got the first one wrong, the second, and also the third one, her voice becaredients she guessed right were five 5 out of 20 And the next participant didn’t do much better Six The one who did the worst was the sixth participant A white redients right It was understandable Because the older you got, your sense of taste got duller Even if he tried to do his utredients, there was a limit to it
The seventh participant was a food stylist, Danny He got eleven ingredients right away and got the adot it all wrong But of course, it was a really good score getting 11 right
And then, Jo Minjoon’s turn came
“Come to the front Minjoon”
Jo Minjoon walked with a calm face And didn’t hesitate for even a minute and put the fried tofu pocket in his ot perplexed Jo Minjoon chewed a few tiulped it down And then closed his eyes Aappeared in that darkness

And Alan was no exception He was forcing to look cal a little Even he was only confident in guessing 12 right, if he was asked to do so But right now, in front of hiht

No, it wasn’t just the probleredients were in order to differentiate them with all of the food in the word If he didn’t incorporate it in his tongue, it was an i to do He wondered if it was a huuess the parts of the pork or octopus that only a bean size of it was used Jo Minjoon opened his ain It seeredients, so he naredients at once
