Chapter 216 (2/2)

There was no way he'd feel too pressured by that He was being paid well for his work, and that asn't all that taxing, either There were only two people, Rachel and Raphael, working as his bosses, so there wasn't any need to feel stress either

'I guess I really otten a little dull'

Perhaps Minjoon had been too taken in trying to enjoy theto iet better

”Would you like to try again?”

”Of course”

Minjoon took his gloved hands to touch the toffee The piece he took off was quite a bit stiffer than it actually looked It was candy, after all Due to this, controlling his strength when ht He had to put h That alone made it far easier to break it

'Focus, focus, focus…'

Minjoon chanted the word in his head as he worked the dough Funnily enough, the candy becao of his focus even after flattening the candy co to blow air into it

This step, to hi the candy itself After all, it was very difficult to judge the state of the candy when it was getting pumped full of air

Raphael quietly observed Minjoon He didn't show it, but he was rather surprised at as going on

'To think a person would change this much after just one advice…'

He did expect Minjoon to improve after the advice, but he didn't think it would happen so instantly He had thought the improvements would come after one or two more failures

But Minjoon was different He was soly This made Raphael feel almost jealous

'Focus and patience What more would a cook need in his career? No… Really, if a person has those two things, it's inevitable that they'd succeed in anything'

Raphael watched as Minjoon pu the candy by hand Making mistakes here would ruin the candy completely

Was it because of that? Minjoon's speed in blowing air into the candy was incredibly slow If this was happening during service tiotten tens of different complaints from the customers But Raphael didn't bother to tell hi Success was an to turn into a beautiful sphere as it became more and more full After some time, Minjoon put a torch next to the blower, and took the h

Then, after reshaping the an to pour the po the hole with the poranate cream did Minjoon step back with a smile He turned to look at Raphael, who shook his head in ust

”You really did it, didn't you? First try, too You're too impatient”

”I didn't think I could do it”

”…I can't do it”

Maya made a depressed face as she handled the uneven candy in her hands Minjoon quickly put his work on top of some dry ice to chill it Raphael looked a bit confused by this

”Why put it there? It should do fine in the freezer”

”I want to show it to Rachel as fast as possible”

”Oh, how nice of you”

Raphael couldn't help but smile at this childish side to Minjoon Minjoon looked at the clock anxiously for a few ranate jam

”I'll be off to serve this real quick”

”Alright good luck”

Minjoon looked at his candy It was 8 points so far Still 1 point off from the expected score But it was fine The dish wasn't coot the jam on it would it really be complete…

He knocked on the office door with the dish on one hand He heard Rachel's voice co from the office

”Come in”

Rachel's eyes shone a little when she noticed Minjoon Seeing from the dish in his hand, it seemed to her that he had already o well?”

”Yes It's perfect”

”Alright Bring it over, then”

”Yes ma'am”

Minjoon looked visibly excited Rachel looked at hiave her a knife and fork

”Would you try breaking this for ave the candy a few sht The candy broke a little after one tap, then fell apart after the next Rachel gave an exclamation of surprise when she saw the ice cream pour over like a waterfall

”You ranate, huh?”

”Yes Ah, please don't eat it just yet There's still more to be done”

Minjoon picked up the teapot as he said this It was about tilances all this time When Minjoon tilted the pot over the dish, the warm jam poured out over onto the powdered ice cream At the same time, a screen popped up in front of Minjoon

[The final score of this dish is 9 points!][You've ed to complete every step of the dish by yourself!][Your skill inhas increased!]

Nuratulations exploded in Minjoon's eyes But the one compliment Minjoon looked forward to the hed to herself as she looked at the dish in surprise

”Justin's going to be annoyed at you for giving him extra dishes to clean”

”We can think about that later How is it?”

”It looks good The plating was done well as well What's ih Let's see…”

Rachel put a spoonful of the ice cream into her mouth, and smiled Minjoon nervously asked his question when Rachel turned to him

”Do you think it's possible? To… put this on the menu on Christmas?”

Rachel answered

”No, it's not”
