Chapter 218 - Everybody has their own story (4) (2/2)
'Now, things are different'
Minjoon smiled He had a knife in one hand, and a pen in the other The heat of the kitchen ith hiht be a daily fact of life for some, but Minjoon was thankful that he could live a life that he did more than any other chef
And this showed all too clearly in his work as well No ot, Minjoon was happy to work as a chef It ht be the basic of the basics for a chef, but Janet could tell that Minjoon lived a very happy, fulfilling life
”Yeah I'm jealous of you sometimes because of that That honesty, that work ethic, and…”
That talent The last bit ended up getting stuck in her throat Acknowledging other people's talent was a difficult thing Especially acknowledging that of a work partner Janet took her plate
”I wasted your tiet this checked by Rachel real quick”
”I'm sure it'll pass Good luck”
”Hoould you know? You haven't even tasted it Can you taste it with your eyes for sohed and turned away Minjoon watched her walk away before turning back to his own station Maya was in the corner ranate jam
There were four solutions to the problem Chloe had unearthed The first was to si it just about two bites would be perfect But this solution was too simple Almost one dimensional
The second solution was to add candied poood solution either Adding whole pouests would have to spit out the seeds as they ate, which wasn't great for a high classthe flesh out of the seeds would only end up creating soive up le flavorHe could add so like alood when paired with the jam The system almost lowered the overall score of the dish
Lastly, the fourth option The option of bringing sole flavor of the dish Minjoon could only think of one way of adding this eleht actually think I'ranate jelly He was thinking of creating a jelly with agar agar after bringing out the sweetness of the juice a little With agar, he could create soranate fruit
The jelly wasn't the only thing that was different The ja an English jam instead of an American one would be better as well'
The difference between an English jam and an American jam was that while the Alish variant focused on the flavor of the fruit The sweetness would still be there, thanks to the ice creaet lost due to the jareatly with the fruit flavor
It would be normal to let the jam rest for at least a day, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to serve it i, either Since Chloe and Martin wouldn't return toe Minjoon spoke to Maya with an apologetic tone
”Sorry about this, Maya You aren't even able to rest because of me”
”No, no This is how I learn I'm happy that I can learn fro that rock paper scissors game now, huh?”
”…Can we not?”
”Fine, fine”
Minjoon raised his hands in ar harden for a little while before putting it straight in the blast chiller As he created the poain, Maya opened her mouth as she put the finished ja as well How could you just leave a guest behind because of a dish?”
”How can I not? My heart was just beating with anticipation”
”…Oh God, the cringe”
Minjoon smiled silently He took two pieces of the toffee, cut the jelly, and scooped the ice cream It was time to serve Minjoon quickly walked over to Chloe's table
”It'll be different this ti the saht, what's that?”
”Ah, this is for Rachel Could you just wait three minutes?”
”I don't have the power to stop you Go on”
”Thanks, Martin”
Minjoon rin Rachel looked at Minjoon with a rather surprised face, but this soon changed into a warm smile
”So you found the answer?”
”Yes I think I did”
The systeed purely through its score Not all dishes with 9 points were the same He was confident that this dish was better than the one he showed Rachel last tied Is that ok with you?”
”You're co to serve ood this dish would be”
Minjoon sranate toffee The shell broke to reveal the flesh inside Rachel let out an exclamation of surprise She could tell that this dish was made with care After all, each and every piece of jelly inside looked like a piece of poranate now
When Minjoon poured the hot jam inside, the powdered ice cream melted to mix and meld with the toffee and the jelly Rachel took her spoon, and took a bite of the dish She closed her eyes to fully take in the flavor
It was definitely different froht out the flavor of the dish perfectly, and the ice cream helped tone the flavor of the jam as well As Rachel chewed, she could tell that the main star of the show this time wasn't the ice cream or the ja the next chew every time the flavor of the jelly ca indeed
Rachel looked at Minjoon with a proud smile
”So you realized what a dish of this restaurant needs”
”Yes I wouldn't have been able to tell this by row by letting others taste their dish”
”It was a lovely dish It was probably only possible because it was youit Minjoon, are you happy?”
”Yes, I really am I'm happy that I have people like you that can teach me, and that there are customers who can enjoy my dish”
Minjoon put on an almost childlike smile on his face One that was pure and full of passion Rachel nodded
”Right As I say all the tis in it as well This dish can only make people happy”
”Then…”
Minjoon looked at Rachel excitedly Rachel couldn't help but laugh looking at his eyes
”Right I suppose we'll need quite a bit of poranate coon (3)> End
