Chapter 421 - Sowing Weed Seeds (2) (2/2)

When soht ask why they envy him so much because it had not yet been decided ould win in this contest, and they were rather equal in ter Min-joon and Kaya, Theo had no choice but to feel very jealous More precisely, he felt rather pathetic rather than feeling jealous because he always took it for granted that he inherited his father’s restaurant

He didn’t think it rong However, he took it for granted that his father patronized hiht their way to achieve their goal until now Considering that, he could not help but question whether he was really doing alright Of course, there was nothing he got thanks to his father’s help The reason he was mentioned as his father Enzo’s successor was because he was qualified And he et to his current status

He loved Enzo’s restaurant—Paris Park—because that was the place where he had been living since childhood He still vividly remembered some fond memories of his childhood When there were no customers, he hid under a table covered with a tablecloth and then fell asleep only to wake up after the business already started So, he suddenly jumped out of the table and scared the customers He used to have a birthday party for his father and ot married at Paris Park

He wanted to protect the restaurant andthat he could never give up But as much as he wanted to keep it, he also wanted to make it his own, namely, a restaurant he inherited from his father and he kept from his childhood, but one particular restaurant that could not be found anywhere

Unlike hi, Kaya and Min-joon certainly had their own ideas They were cooking in their own style That was a big wake-up call for hie

“What are you going to cook?” Theo asked

Perhaps, that hy he asked the the plan in a contest like this could sound very weird But he could not stand it because he was so curious

In particular, he gotplan because of the three days mission They were asked to prepare dinner for the next three days Such a request was no different fro them what kind of dishes they would cook when they opened a restaurant right now

Min-joon and Kaya had no choice but to flinch at his unexpected question If Dobby had asked it, they would not have been surprised at all because they knew his personality But they never expected that Theo would ask it

“We’re thinking ofAsian dinner”

It was Kaya who answered first Min-joon was surprised for a moment because she was rather sensitive to this kind of question But she knew that he didn’t ask that question to analyze her and Min-joon’s cooking strategy, but he just asked it out of curiosity as a chef She kneas that kind of person

So, Min-joon didn’t feel uncoht away

With his eyes open wide, Theo asked, “Asian dinner? Are you going to make lots of dishes on one table?”

“Yeah, that’s e’re going to do”

“I know you guys have a challenging spirit, but this is really beyondthe word Asian dinner as if he was enchanted

Watching him, Enzo, who remained silent, opened his h challenge Can you do that?”

“It’s a difficult but fun challenge And it’s a challenge that we have to make, too”

“You are really like Rachel’s students”

“Oh, I’m not Rachel’s student,” snapped Kaya

“Well, let me call you Rachel’s friend,” Enzo replied with a pleasant sht that Enzo had long forgotten a sense of defeat with respect to Chef Daniel, for his sht and cheerful that he was still consu like a sense of inferiority or defeat

In the rilled with turs, and baked beans, and thick bacon was placed on a plate Enzo opened his mouth with a smile

“You’re definitely a typical Aet addicted to eating this kind of stuff when you try it”

As Enzo said, it was a very siht ful to make an Asian dish?”

“What do you mean?”

“I hear Asian food is widely known in France, but I don’t think Asian dishes are nothing, compared with French food All they can do is mix some Asian dishes or recipes with a French course dish So, if the Min-joon pair serves the judges a full Asian ured out what Dobby was thinking about It wasn’t easy for Asian dishes to get recognized in the Western gastronomy world, apart from japanese dishes like sushi+ or ramen

Especially in the se Asian dishes ht have intended it, Min-joon Cho and Kaya lobalization of Asian cuisine

“Why did you choose Asian dinner, in particular? You amble in a contest like this Especially for you, Min-joon”

“I’ it if I don’t try this tiuys have a couple of things you are scared about? How come you want to beat everybody here? You are so inhuhed when Dobby cracked a joke Certainly, he always tended to challenge everything like he pointed out But he thought that hy he could coed herself, she would still have been selling fruits in the New York e, which he didn’t like at all

‘What I will get froers one by one—first, his confidence in Asian cuisine, second, he and Kaya could shake off the prejudice that Asian cuisine was too exotic For now, he could think of only two

His heart was beating Perhaps, it was because he was in a pleasant tension, for he knehat kind of outcoe was successful A new taste was like weed Once a person knew its taste, it would eventually haunt that person again and doet it or turned it away

And now his hands were full of weed seeds The weeds would be planted in the consciousness of the judges and would grow in the cultural corners of France or in the heart of the Western cuisine world

But it wasn’t France, the West, or the judges that he wanted to sow the seeds most It was none other than himself He wanted the charm and taste of Asian cuisine to conquer him He hoped the weeds could run all over his body because flowers stand out ht be taken away by weeds and wane, but if they did not wither, there would be no other thing than weeds that would make flowers stand out

‘I won’t lose to the weeds’

So, it was tiroeeds
