”Uncle looked hungry You aren't?”
”I'ry…”
”Just take it, here”
”Yeah Thanks”
Minjoon reached for the jelly on Ella's hand with a sirl's puffy hands Minjoon's hand ground to a halt right there
”What is it, uncle?”
”…Ella, could you hold that pose for a second?”
”Ella's arh…”
”Don't worry, I'll hold it up”
Minjoon stared at Ella's hand carefully Does that piece of jelly have a plate right now, or does it not? Could you really call someone's hand a plate?
But at the saht now than Ella's hand The jelly looked its best on her hand Minjoon grabbed the jelly and took a bite The flavor of blueberries coaxed his tongue gently with its sweetness Ella looked up at him hopefully
”Tasty?”
”Yes Very tasty”
”Want more?”
”No, Ella, that's your snack”
”But uncle gives Ella plenty of snacks too”
”So that's why you're giving it to ive back to people all the ti your word”
Minjoon poked Ella's cheeks as he said this Ella nodded with a wide grin
”Ella, you just gaveback to ive you?”
”Your hand”
”…Ella's hand isn't for eating”
”I' it”
Minjoon answered her with a se from it He just realized the ie depending on how it got plated
'What plate should I use, then?'
That's what he needed to think about now But right then, he heard so lot Minjoon stood up in surprise
”Deborah?”
”Yo, Minjoon It's been a while”
”How did you come here? What about your restaurant?”
”It burned down”
Minjoon froith visible worry, but Deborah disrin
”Just a joke Don'tsome renovations over there Do you knohere Rachel is?”
”She left because the person in charge of the noodles got sick… Did you contact her?”
”No, I tried to surprise her Though now that I think about it, she wouldn't even have gotten surprised… Oh, hello, Ella! What are you eating?”
Deborah started talking to Ella Minjoon used this as a chance to escape back into the kitchens He laid out all the dishes there, and started staring at it carefully Maya looked at him confusedly
”Chef, what are these?”
”I' for a dish that would fit the cassoulet nicely”
”…Do you really have to? It looks like a pain to make”
”I told you not to worry about it Soht But still, testing it's going to take so long Can't we do sohed in defeat Right then, Deborah walked up to the?”
”Ah, yes I'uests with even with cassoulet”
”Ah, I see Hood with art?”
”Sort of I got A's occasionally”
”Good enough, I guess You should be able to figure it out, then You sound like you have the sense for it”
”For decor?”
”No, for being able to see what's pretty or not”
Deborah looked down at the dishes She continued with a calht? I did all sorts of stuff to try to get two michelin stars, but that never happened”
”…I remember”
”I don't think it was because e if a uys don't just rate you on the flavor Flavor is subjective So they give you a lot of points on service and decor as well Even location has a factor in it Plating is quite irant, right?”
”Yes, I spent decades in Korea”
”This is the difference between the West and the East The East focuses on flavor Interior and decor are just secondary But the West is different They care a lotflavor to beat down any critics, or you couldpretty and delicious What do you think?”
Minjoon began to think Flavor or looks? Where did he really want to focus on? Minjoon opened hisa question like that in the past I don't quite remember the answer back then, but… My answer this time would be…”
Minjoon sounded incredibly stiff and serious
”Can't I just do both?”
