Chapter 158: The reason they are hungry (2) (2/2)

“If you didn’t have passion, you wouldn’t have woken up at this early hour to ree?”

Anderson briefly shut hisin the market at this early hour He started to speak in a quiet voice

“I’htforward person as you think I aht you were like that?”

“……My feelings for cooking…rather than passion, it’s closer to affection”

“Why”

“It wasn’t my decision”

(TL: So the word used could literally be translated to straight, and I had a good laugh about this conversation and the co it could hold

“I’ht you were straight? “ Coave a short answer But that short ansas full of all sorts of co everywhere

“It wasn’tthey forced me to do it However, they only ever showed ht that was obvious, but the older I got, theelse even once, without being able to breathe even once, just walking down this one path It even felt like my life was not my own but my parents’ So……”

Anderson’s eyelashes turned doard If you think about Anderson’s pride, it wouldn’t have been easy to say soreat person to cut down his pride The reason was simple

Jo Minjoon was his friend

“That’s why I participated in Grand Chef My life, I wanted to make it mine I wanted to do it on a path I decided for myself I also wanted to verify whether I could love this path”

“……Yes I reet out of your parents’ shadows”

Hiding behind those words were very deep levels of agonies and worries Jo Minjoon opened hisat Anderson as soft, but his voice rang strongly

“You got out of it Anderson I’ You…”

Jo Minjoon briefly closed his s At least he didn’t consider hi he wanted to say at least once

“You’re my rival I wouldn’t be rivals with so that, Jo Minjoon quickly turned away and started to inspect the fish He was getting itchy just thinking about what kind of look Anderson was giving him It was at that moment Anderson’s voice slowly calad you are my friend”

Jo Minjoon did not respond

There was no response needed for so did not start right away after they ca Jo Minjoon and Anderson first sat at the table looking through each other’s recipes They needed to think about the coredients, and the anticipated results for following the recipe

In theeach other For Anderson, it was at Jo Minjoon’s creativity in co up with a recipe, for Jo Minjoon, it was Anderson’s knowledge of ingredients that came out every time he talked Anderson started to speak

“You, just…how could your level be so high after learning at hoh the internet? This makes no sense”

“I had a fabulous internet teacher”

“Who is it? I’ve never seen anyone so ah the internet”

“Kaya”

Anderson frowned at Jo Minjoon’s short answer He soon started to speak in a griht?”

“I a Kaya only started to appear on the internet after the broadcast How could you learn by looking at Kaya before that?”

Jo Minjoon smiled but did not answer It was impossible to explain it anyways However, he was at least able to tell himself that he did not lie to Anderson

“First, let’s talk about our distribution”

“What distribution? Our roles?”

“Yes If you think about it, our distribution has always been very primitive It was always one of two e of the ingredients and the other is in charge of the fire Isn’t there so out the best of the person’s abilities?”

They were full of enthusiasm to find a better method Anderson quietly stared into the sea brea his mouth

“We must become one body”

“……What?”

“What the heck is up with your expression Ilike a person with four arhts become mine If we ”

“If we do it wrong, it could end up s more complicated as well

“To prevent that, let’s e with the recipe and coin Then it should be a bit better”

Jo Minjoon nodded his head The recipes they shared were similar to basic homemade japanese meals It was their last day in japan, and at the saether like a fa casual was because at least for this last meal, rather than a commercial dish, they wanted to share a uration was sirice as a ood decision to add any other ingredient to the rice

For fish, they picked the sea bream To cook it, they cut off the ar in a broth made of water, rice wine and turnip, and braised it In addition, there was a beef and potato stir-fry, roasted ginger pork, and clams steamed in rice wine

With that, they had pickled cucue, sprouts flavored with salt and walnut oil, and cold tofu to complete the entire co special Jo Minjoon and Anderson continuously looked at each other’s condition That did not mean that they were not focused on the dishes they were responsible for Rather than saying they were inspecting each other’s condition, they were paying attention to the entire kitchen It was like both of them became head chefs at the same time If there was a difference with a normal head chef, it would be that there were two of the on the line

It was a pretty fresh experience, and a beneficial experience as well Cooking is so if you are not focused everywhile eloquently handling the knife and pan in their hands, was harder to do than you think

However, thatthat your brain and body were reaching their li that it was hard to describe ords Specifically, not paying attention to how et made the whole experience cohter and more beautiful than normal, and the handle of the knife seemed to be wrapped in their hands ……yes It was so attention to the score it will receive, each and every , and felt exhilarating This was real cooking Jo Minjoon had a small smile that you could barely see It was small, but it was a more honest and clear smile than any other time

Even their teamwork, which was a bit aard at first, started to slowly become perfect If Jo Minjoon moved, Anderson quickly filled that spot And when Anderson thought he was going to need an ingredient, Jo Minjoon i asked They were each paying attention to one another’s presence and their actions, while listening to the kitchen’s noise

Anderson could feel his heart beating quickly At first, he felt like he was being controlled by Jo Minjoon However, that wasn’t it They were exchanging tons of words without actually talking, and co he had never felt before It felt like there was someone who could co ended, Anderson had a disappointed expression on his face as if a fabulous movie just ended Then he looked at Jo Minjoon with those disappointed eyes But it eird Jo Minjoon was looking at Anderson, no, to be specific, he was looking at so next to Anderson

However, even if he looked in the sa It was at that moment Jo Minjoon opened his ratulations, Anderson”
