Cooking Genius With God

"It's about time you came…….”

Kim Ho-sung looked at the clock on one side of the restaurant with a nervous look.

The same goes for other chefs in the kitchen, including Park Joo-hyuk.

I was busy cooking as usual, but there was a tense atmosphere.

Chirirring-!

The door of the oral fairy tale burst open and made a sound.

A man who appeared soon.

There was a big mole on the right cheek, and he was chubby and looked familiar.

'Golden piggy bank...…?’

The day came to mind without realizing it.

A lot of blue.

He was a man who looked like a gold piggy bank.

However, he was alive like a tiger even in the midst of a warm impression, just like his reputation as a world-class businessman.

An impression that makes me think that I'm a godfather.

He looked around the oral fairy tale with familiar eyes as if he had really come to his hometown.

"Hi, Mr. Wang!"

Kim Ho-sung ran quickly and bowed to greet neatly.

Wang Cheng sent back his subordinates who escorted him out of the restaurant, saying he wanted to enjoy his time alone, and shook Kim Ho-sung's hand lightly.

"Ho-seong! Long time no see. I heard about Choi Han-seok's obituary. Am I too late? I couldn't find time to come to Korea because I was busy with business."

Wang Cheng used Korean proficiently.

Choi Han-seok, who said he was Korean-Chinese, must have been right.

"Chef Choi Han-seok must be happy that Wang Cheng visited us. I won't let you down."

-Hhhhhhhhhhhh. That's right.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Choi Han-seok, who was floating in the air, smiled awkwardly.

Was Wang Cheng's response, which he said was an old friend?

Park Joo-hyuk, who came out of the kitchen before he knew it, intervened in the conversation.

"Good morning, Mr. Wang Cheng. I'm Park Joo-hyuk, who will take over Chef Choi Han-seok's vacancy."

"Oh, Joo Hyuk! The student of Master Choi Han Seok. I remember your face, too. I followed Master Choi Han-seok around and learned how to cook."

"That's right. I tried hard to convey the taste and emotion of your teacher."

Park Joo-hyuk is pouring out his words without saying anything.

Knowing the reality, Haru clenched his teeth with anger while watching it.

One day, I made gomtang at dawn and told him about Park Joo-hyuk and Choi Han-seok's past.

It was hard to feel that a man who was smiling with his head down was cold enough to abandon his teacher who had given him up.

"Yes, yes. I felt it as soon as I entered this restaurant. The smell of this mellow beef! I really felt like I was in Korea. Hahaha!"

Wang Cheng tapped Park Joo-hyuk on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

It's obviously a story that means beef bone soup.

Park Joo-hyuk also knew that Wang Cheng's favorite Korean food was gomtang.

His eyes trembled slightly, and soon flashed with confidence.

'This is my chance to prove that I have surpassed you! A golden opportunity from heaven for me!"

Confidence has completely driven away anxiety.

He said, guiding the royal palace to a specially refurbished private room.

"Wait a minute. Here's a special course for you."

"Hello, hello!"

Wang Cheong looked at Park Joo-hyuk with anticipation.

Soon, Park Chu-hyuk turned to the kitchen with a stern look on his face.

The chefs who were preparing in advance gave him a look."Get ready. No mistakes, let's do it quickly."

"Yes, Chef!"

When Park Joo-hyuk opened his mouth in a low voice, there was a stiff tension in the kitchen.

The course has begun.

Is it VVIP?

Even the appetizer, commonly called "amusebush," was different.

From salad based on the expensive egg, which was eaten only by kings during the Joseon Dynasty, to kimbap with dried pollack and yukhoe.

Expensive ingredients that can be served in Korean food appeared one after another, but Wangcheong's response was not good.

"Do you like the food?”

"Not bad. You're like a good teacher, huh?"

It wasn't that I didn't eat deliciously.

He enjoyed every dish on every course served.

However, I couldn't get rid of the feeling that I was blindly waiting for something that hadn't come out yet.

By the time the course reaches its zenith.

A side dish was served with grilled short rib patties, the main dish.

Homemade dried pollack, seasonal vegetables, salted seafood and cabbage kimchi.

There was a delicious tteok-galbi in the center, and the rice made with chwinamul smelled fragrant.

But Wang Cheng's gaze was completely different.

"Here you go. It's a special dish for you."

Park Joo-hyuk served a large bowl of beef bone soup.

Clear-colored, clear-looking soup.

The gold bowl was completely visible, and on top of it were a lot of neatly sliced meat garnish and green onions.

Originally, only two ladles were served, but a bowl of beef bone soup was served for Wangcheong, who especially liked it.

"Oh...…."

Wang Cheng looked at the bowl of soup carefully.

His eyebrows, which were full of flesh, shrugged.

Gulp.

Park Joo-hyuk, who was looking at the scene with his hands politely folded, swallowed a dry saliva without realizing it.

"That's interesting.

"What? Mr. Wang."

"When I entered the restaurant earlier, I could definitely smell the beef bone soup I knew. The meat smell of a heavy cow. But it's a little different from the beef bone soup I know."

"Oh...." Well, this beef bone soup is a little bit of a variation of Master Choi Han-seok's recipe.”

"It's a transformation."

Park Joo-hyuk seems a little embarrassed by Wang's attitude that he doesn't like it more than expected.

Wang Cheng moaned and looked him in the eye.

"You know that the biggest reason I visit Korea is because of this gomtang of oral fairy tale."

"Don't worry, sir. I'm sure it'll be a better experience."

"I believe you know how precious time is to a businessman.”

"I won't let you down."

"Well, let's try it."

Wang Cheng picked up the spoon with a serious face.

After scooping up a spoonful of steaming soup, he carefully smelled it and took it to his mouth.

Gulp!

A sip of Park Joo-hyuk's pride fell to his throat.

"Hmm."

Wangcheong savored the taste.

A few seconds later, he looked at Park Joo-hyuk and talked.

"Okay, now serve the beef bone soup."

"……What?"

Park Joo-hyuk's face was severely distorted.

* * *

Hahahaha! Haru, look at you talking a lot. Now bring the beef bone soup. Lol, that's not even beef bone soup. Joohyuk, come on. We've been hit hard by Haru!

Choi Han-sung who laughs out loud as if he's having fun.

He smiled at Park Chu-hyuk as if he was suing him, but the air in the field only froze at a rapid pace.Park Joo-hyuk, and Haru and all the other chefs there couldn't help but doubt his ears.

"What do you mean, sir? I'm sure I...I brought you the beef bone soup you mentioned."

"No, this is not beef bone soup. At least, it's not the old-fashioned soup I wanted. Hmm, yeah. That's enough for a delicious meat soup.”

"Tasty meat soup…….”

It wasn't just a bad press, it wasn't tasty or seasoned.

It's not the dish I ordered, now serve the dish I ordered.

It was good to say that it was the worst criticism a cook could hear from a guest.

As a chef, Park Joo Hyuk itself was denied.

In the cold frozen air, all the chefs noticed Park Joo-hyuk.

He used to lead chefs screaming in the kitchen, but now he's no different from a newcomer who just came into the kitchen.

Two eyes and a voice that trembles violently and loses where to go.

Park Chu-hyuk was deeply embarrassed.

"Chef Park, do you know what's wrong with this meat soup?"

Wang Cheng quietly asked Park Joo-hyuk like that.

It's not loud, but it has bones in it. Besides, didn't we call it meat soup again?

Park Joo-hyuk, who had been struggling to manage his facial expressions for a while, said.

"I... don't know."

"As I said before, there is no depth in this meat soup. Neat meat scent and pine mushrooms? Sounds good. It's a great combination. But it's not the dish I want."

"Didn't Wang Cheng say he wanted to have beef bone soup? Beef bone soup is supposed to be like this. Clear meat broth made from high-quality beef."

"Then, isn't the beef bone soup of the white soup a beef bone soup? Is it only beef bone soup with clear meat broth?"

"That's……."

Park Joo-hyuk, who was trying to refute it, quickly closed his mouth.

Because Wang Cheng wasn't wrong.

"Korean beef bone soup is divided into two. White soup and clear soup. White soup is also called beef bone soup, but it has the same name as beef bone soup. Am I wrong?”

"No, you're right."

Park Joo-hyuk's lips are tight.

A head chef who runs a Michelin restaurant was being told by none other than Chinese that you don't know about Korean food.

She was ignored as a chef, and her determination to surpass her teacher was not even treated as a dish.

It was also good if his pride collapsed and was torn to pieces.

And here, Wang Cheng blew the ball.

"If you understand, please bring me a proper beef bone soup. White soup, beef bone soup made with chef Choi Han-seok's recipe."

"The beef-bone soup we prepared...…, that's all. Mr. Wang."

"Then bring it back to boil it again. Do you know if I came all the way from China to Korea just to eat this kind of food? I'm gonna have to eat what I pay for.”

"It takes at least a few hours to make fresh beef bone soup…….”

"Hey, time is gold for a businessman! I'm going to eat beef bone soup. Didn't you guarantee you wouldn't let me down? Bring me a new one!"

Wang Cheng, who dropped his spoon and chopsticks with a thud full of irritation.

If a dish that is different from what you ordered comes out, it is the duty of a proper restaurant to make it with a proper dish, but isn't it a bit different if it's gomtang?

However, Park could not say anything.

"I'm sure I told you. I'm coming to eat gomtang from oral fairy tale. Chef Park Joo-hyuk, you have not only disappointed me but also disgraced your teacher's face.""As soon as possible……. I'll take care of it."

"Then go to the kitchen quickly. Does the chef cook when he's standing in the hall?"

Wang Cheng seems to be angry.

Just turning his head and leaving the hall, Park Chu-hyuk clenched his upper lip to the point where he tore it apart.

While all the chefs were looking at him, Park Joo-hyuk said it in a low tone.

"Gather up in the kitchen. Right now."
