Chapter 104 - Chapter 104: Cooking Style (2) (2/2)
“……I want to run away from home”
“But this isn’t your hoood to live?”
“I wonder Won’t everywhere be good to live if you just have the skills? Excluding Africa or places fro and ht”
Anderson put a depressed face and kept writing down things on his note Jo Minjoon closed his eyes and concentrated The sound of the judges and the fa His concentration was certainly one level higher even compared to his friends at school It wasn’t that frequent but he had lish words in 5 ot most of it
‘I will have to decide the style first’
Honestly speaking, it was a bit unco How many Korean fa to go to Korea, even in American families they placed mac n’ cheese, pancakes, etc in the middle of the table and shared it
But just because of that, to prepare an Asian faetarian es tried their best to be objective, in the end they are people accustomed to Western cuisine They could only feel so Asian cuisine
But in the end, the thing that suited most in this situation was an Asian formal dinner But it would be a bit unreasonable to iven two hours…
‘No, is it really unreasonable?’
Jo Minjoon looked down at his hands He too had grown The first time he cath, but noas confident on being able to clai it flavor However you saw it, he was in the top 3 Just because you knew the answer, not everyone would be able to solve it
He tried not to be conscious of it, but he still felt a sense of inferiority Co able to walk it while already knowing the answer Because it was a strength already given to him, he tried not to be conscious of it But every time people praised his absolute sense of taste or his ability to design recipes, instead of feeling happy he felt heavier
And now, he wanted to get out of that weight He wanted to get recognized that he was a chef with skills He didn’t need the recognition of the systenition he couldn’t even get once after he turned 30
‘If I’o with the most luxurious one’
If people said that it was Korean cuisine, some may think that it was simple and unsophisticated But if you ith the royal court’s cuisine, the story changed But of course, if he went that way the feeling of serving his fa that point by finding a common point in a normal dish and a royal court dish
Jo Minjoon mixed and broke down recipes in his head It was at this ht that his skills had raised They system was the one that evaluated the recipe, but Jo Minjoon was the one on designing it And it was to the point he felt that he was getting more accustomed to it First of all, there were almost no cases where the recipe beca the ones he had thought was 6
And even thinking up of an 8-point recipe wasn’t that hard Only, it was on the case he took a really long time Because the standard for the score was on the combination of tiets longer, it was also obvious that he got a good score
But there weren’t etting 8 points in only two hours The first thing Jo Minjoon thought of was a king’s dinner table A king’s , wasn’t that ? However, he couldn’t do so Realistically speaking, for one person to make 12 dishes on 2 hours was si the side dishes would be kind of possible But the number 12 in 12 dishes excluded the rice, soup, and stea about all of that, it was really hard if you didn’t have two bodies You wouldn’t know if the ingredients were already prepared……In the first place, you only had 4 burners
That’s why the thing Jo Minjoon thought of was a 5-dish table meal In the case of varieties of herbs, it doesn’t take as ht that hethe side dishes to be Korean Just like Jo Ara said, just because they were Korean it didn’t mean that they always ate KoreanThe feeling it gave of being a Korean ht that it wouldn’t matter whether japanese or Chinese dishes was on it
Noranize the recipe faster than anyone, but today he couldn’t do so It was unavoidable because if the process of designing a 5-dish table, taking into account the cooking and composition score, was easy he wouldn’t have coe
Lee Hyeseon looked at Jo Minjoon Although he was her son, this was her first ti him so concentrated like this Rather than she didn’t see hi, she couldn’t be next to him But even so, she felt weird
‘………Do you really like it? This path’
She felt bitter It wasn’t because her son chose the path of becohest ones It was because even whileconsiderate and cautious to his parents instead of leaning on therown…… But parents alish for the day their child grows, but when that day co
As she kept looking at Jo Minjoon with a nervous heart, the es’ voice Lee Hyeseon and Jo Ara kept looking at Jo Minjoon cooking They even got aredients coot really surprised when he started to use the knife
He was clearly different to when he was in Korea He had stability and was faster When they watched him handle the knife on the broadcast, they doubted if they didn’t turn the speed of the screen faster, but that wasn’t it Just like watching the kniving is the easiest thing to ot really surprised at Jo Minjoon’s skillfulness
“Mom, when could oppa have practiced like that?”
“I……wonder”
The voice of the two didn’t reach Jo Minjoon Part of it was because they didn’t talk in a high voice, but most of it was because basically Jo Minjoon concentrated the inally you should take a coetables, fried vegetables, etc… But Jo Minjoon didn’t mind that In the first place, he didn’t even remember the exact contents for a 5-dish meal He didn’t need to because there would be no one that would s Jo Minjoon cooked were 8 Fine white rice, beef radish soup (소고기무국) that was boiled in a taiwanesestew, roasted neobiani with a soy sauceboiled in handetables, fried soboid with a handetable japchae Actually, you could only say that the neobiani was thewas on the coood 9 points the average cooking score was 73 Although it wasn’t perfect, he had done his best and put all his heart Because of that, when he heard Joseph’s voice, he could stand fir journey Perhaps, this competition by itself could be the first step in your lives, but for the one that survives until the end it wouldn’t be only one step, but five or perhaps 10 steps”
Eardless of the results today, you will be able to become excellent chefs And the reason is si your dish,to taste it A chef that makes an epicurean expect And a chef that makes me expect aren’t many”
Jo Minjoon looked up without words for a moment He saw the nervous smiles of his mother and sister The last elevator for the final destination was approaching One, two, three
“We will start evaluating”
And then, the door opened
