Chapter 493 - Gentle Wolf and Wild Sheep (2) (2/2)
Honestly, Nathan couldn’t be angry because Min-joon was looking at hirets The way he looked at Nathan was far fro down on him It was full of concern and expectation at the salance toward Nathan looked retful and painful So much so that Nathan felt even a little bit sorry for Min-joon, even though he didn’t have to
Pulling hiether with difficulty, Nathan said, “Why are you saying that to ood, and reat chef When I caht there were ht Maybe that’s why I am more disappointed today”
“Disappointed?”
“How e the menu here?”
When he asked, Nathan’s face stiffened for a moment He was also aware of it, but he tried not to as much as possible When did Min-joon come here? Was it around the end of last year?
Coed since then, or how many menus are still the same?
Min-joon did not wait for Nathan to ponder over such questions
“Even though you e of season, you have changed almost no recipes Back then I could not feel it because I tasted your dishes first, but I don’t think it doesn’t fit your cooking skills at all if you haven’t changed the recipes at all”
“Well, I have nothing to coroan Obviously, Min-joon was right Of course, it’s not true that Nathan didn’t try to change his recipes, but he didn’t have the courage to push for extre When Michelin gave him three stars, when more customers came to his restaurant and when food critics tried to belittle his atteave up his atte whether it was legitimate
He didn’t want to take the risk He was not confident of putting up with such criticisht about the possibility that all his achieveht cruhtmare to him
“Don’t you think you can find value in the type of dish with no change in recipes?”
“Yeah, if you run a shborhood But you know the branch of Rose Island can’t end up being a sht?”
“…”
“I wish you had beennew recipes Couldn’t you be a more fearless chef?” Min-joon asked sadly as if he was unable to hide his regret
He was just sorry for Nathan’s dishes Obviously, each of his dishes reflected the best of a master chef’s skills, but the chef hiinal While the Korean cuisinewith a desire to show off his skills, Nathan was just complacent about his current status
Nathan had a desire not to be overambitious
He was just content with the current situation where he was loved by everybody instead of trying to receive more and more love than now
“I think people will accept you as you are now They may think it reflects the stubbornness of a e But time will pass by anyway Even if you try to hold on to it orto do with it, time will pass anyway And you’ll find out before you even reach the end of the road that you have never free from it for a moment”
What Min-joon just said was actually what Nathan had been thinking about all the time
So, even if Min-joon said that he wasn’t at all uncomfortable And Min-joon noticed it
“Why don’t you tell me the truth now? When you decided to take me here, didn’t you expect my praise? Or did you expect to hear what I just said?”
When he said that, Nathan looked at his fists for a moment Min-joon ate all of his dishes It meant that Min-joon did his best for him If that’s the case, it was not time for Nathan to feel on the defensive
He looked at Min-joon with a calht you’re a genius Since you had great cooking talent, I thought it was natural for Rachel to treat you so preciously But at sorow, she relied on you not as a man but as a chef”
Min-joon did not deny what he said because he didn’t have to deny that she actually relied on hi because there was clearly a lie and experience”
“Then, what do you think of me now?”
