Chapter 252 - A Chef’s Greed Has No End (5) (2/2)
“Isn’t this beautiful, Minjoon?”
“The dough?”
“Just… everything The light, the dough, ferluten”
“You seem to like this scenery veryis more beautiful than an already baked bread Similar to how many adults find kids cuter than other adults”
He couldn’t completely understand what made her feel this way in the bakery, but he could relate completely Occasionally he would smile to himself as he watched the soup boil in the kitchen Lisa continued with a calh in the same oven, but each and every piece of bread looks coht stay the same, but the flavor is never the same”
“Sa alhts, but it just didn’t co a question to her
“What do you think makes bread ‘bread’?”
“What makes bread ‘bread’?” Lisa asked back with a confused face
“I’ve been thinking about that a lot About how the best food brings out the most out of what it’s supposed to be I wanted to knohat ood bread bread in that sense”
“…Hm, I don’t know Bread is too broad a subject If I were to settle on one thing… That it’s a side?”
“The bread is?”
“Isn’t it? You never see bread as a main in any fancy restaurant They’re always there as a side Most people don’t eat bread solely for the sake of eating just bread”
“Bread shi+nes when it gets paired…”
Minjoon stared off into the sky for a second His eyes see After a while, about when Lisa started to look at him with a worrisome face, Minjoon stood up from his seat He turned to Marco with an excited look
“Help me, Marco” he said
“…What’s up?”
“I have a recipe I want to complete I…” Minjoon sounded almost thirsty as he continued “I need your bread”
€ € € € € € € €
“…I never thought I’d be doing this again” Maya mumbled annoyedly
“At least this tiain” Minjoon answered with a smile
“Chef, can’t I just handle it? You look like you’re about to collapse Did you even sleep?”
“Yeah, I got some decent sleep”
“Liar Your eyes have dark circles under them”
Maya looked at Minjoon with a worried face The man looked like he was about to die at any second to her Minjoon grinned at her with a playful look
“I’ll leave things to you if I fall”
“You sound like you’re on a battlefield”
“Well, I sort of am”
Minjoon poured some water into the pot in the oven as he answered He needed to get the cassoulet some more water The crust on top of the stew could either make or break the entire dish
“…Try toeasier next ti for six hours straight like that” Maya complained
“I’etic assistant like you”
“I feel tired just looking at you, you know that? Here, have this”
Maya took so out of her pocket It was jelly When Minjoon looked at Maya with a questioning look, the girl spoke to him with a firm voice
“It’s vitamin jelly It’s not too tasty, but you should still have it Do it before I start overworking like you”
“Thanks”
“Eat it first”
“Fine Man, you care more about me than my mother”
“I have to do my best as an assistant, don’t I?” Maya responded with a proud look Right around then, Marco walked in with souette He seemed a little bit nervous about his creation
“Here it is Traditional baguette Just as you requested, I tried to make it taste as rich as possible without butter It’s very chewy as well It should help you with your dish”
“Yeah, thanks”
Minjoon put a piece of baguette in his mouth Crust first, and then the bread inside A warm smile appeared on his face
“This is perfect” he exclaily happy about the complement Minjoon’s solution to the cassoulet was to keep the cassoulet as a si else He wouldn’t try toneith the dish, but he would deconstruct it In the process, he would add so after a moment Minjoon carefully took the pot out as he checked its condition The crust was crispy, while the stew itself was kept verythat just looks cool’
Not many people would be able to tell what the difference was between the two things, but people who really knew about food would be able to tell, Minjoon was sure He cut the baguette carefully He removed the crust from the insides, and put both of them on the dish The crust on the outside of the dish and the squishy inner parts on the inside
He put the crispy part of the cassoulet on top of the flesh of the bread, and he put the more moist parts next to the crust The intended result here didn’t just have to do with texture– he wanted the different parts of the dish to taste different as well Like how norot stuck to the pan
That hat Minjoon ended up cos You couldn’t make it look beautiful no matter what kind of dress you put on it But if you washed it,could look beautiful
‘I’ll keep my promise’
Minjoon lifted the dish He lifted the cassoulet The pig He headed to Rachel’s office The two exchanged greetings in the form of a smile, and Minjoon put the dish in front of Rachel Rachel took a long look at Minjoon’s dish It felt strange It was just cassoulet on top of some bread, but it felt so beautiful to her for souette and cassoulet?” she asked
“I decided to uette and cassoulet”
“How greedy of you”
Minjoon just gave her the knife and fork without saying anything Rachel raised her hand She stabbed a piece of bread and put it in her ain for a while
