Chapter 610 - Two Sides of the Same Coin (2) (2/2)
To be honest, it wasn’t an easy challenge even for Min-joon Of course, he could try it, but it would be only afterout the perfect balance of all the tastes Fortunately, Min-joon could rely on the syste level based on the recipe in advance, but Hugo didn’t have that systeo didn’t decide to choose that recipe recklessly He already kne to calculate each ingredient of this dish To be honest, this was a recipe he saved for this coinally he wanted to show it at the finals, but given that the theeneral, there was little possibility that he could present this dish at the finals
So Hugo thought he would rather disclose his hidden card than keep it forever With that calculation in o ahead with this dish He wasn’t scared He already did all the calculations about how he could bring out the best possible taste of the five ingredients while thinking about how the ingredients would affect each other when they were roasted together on the pan
He was confident of his calculations, but it was not his calculations that caused him trouble
It was a basicall the ingredients It was al that he realized he redients, he realized that he didn’t control the heat properly It was only when the burnt smell touched the tip of his nose that he found it out
Because of the nature of fried rice, the burnt area already spread to other parts of the dish Even if he separated the burnt part, it was inevitable that the dish would keep the burnt sh to h to break the overall balance of the ingredients
Hugo’s face began to harden from the moment he realized his mistake The moment he smelled the burnt smell, he immediately realized that he ruined the dish So ain Since he didn’t expect this kind of situation at all, he didn’t store any ingredients just in case
He kneas finished
It was at that moment he was faced with the dileive up now or continue to cook He would be irresponsible either way If this place had been his restaurant, he would have thrown the ruined dish into the trash and ain Even if he served the custo the ruined one anyway
But this was a competition place, and he had a tied to finish cooking, driven by inertia Then he even decorated the food on the plate When it was his turn to sub hio, please come forith your dish,” Min-joon said in a low voice
He already knehy Hugo couldn’t coo just hesitate to step forward At Min-joon’s repeated urging, Hugo couldn’t step forward
As a participant, he had to follow the judges’ instructions Even if he ruined his dish, he es why he failed Even if his dish was burnt, the judges ive him another chance to coo realize that he was a chef rather than a participant
He just threw the ruined paella into the trash can Soh the coht next to hihtly blank expression on his face
Hugo put his hands together and bowed his head
“I’m sorry This is not the kind of dish I can serve you”
When he said that, the judges were speechless This was Hugo’s last pride He could not give them the dish that even he himself didn’t want to try Even if he was eliminated here as a participant, he needed to survive as a chef He didn’t coer than others at this Grand Chef co Min-joon that he was really a professional chef
