Episode 1020
As if to show off, Sooksu quickly turned the kitchen knife in his hand and threw it in the air before catching it.
widely!
That appearance could be said to be the swordplay of someone who has reached the realm of peace. In the case of Kangho’s kitchen, it also meant a state where radishes could be sliced so transparently that they could shine on the moon.
It wasn’t wrong.
Because all the vegetables that went with the ryangpi noodles were transparent enough to see through.
In particular, the vegetables served in Jin Cheon-hee’s bowl were literally hard to tell whether they were noodles or vegetables.
‘good. I will accept that challenge well!’
Jin Cheon-hee began slurping down the ryangpi noodles as if showing pride.
The chef must have liked Jin Cheon-hee so much that he opened her a bottle of amju.
He was an arrogant but good-natured chef.
Next dish.
A store called Bulseonru (佛仙樓).
The main dish is buldojang (佛跳牆)!
As to why it was given this name, it is said that it was given this name because a poet who tasted this dish for the first time commented, ‘Even a monk would smell the scent from outside the wall and climb over the wall.’
“This is hot.”
“Yeah, I didn’t think the Bingho branch would show up. “The chef is the type of person who believes that cold food is not cooking.”
“It’s not the Bingho Branch… its original name… is not. done. Anyway, it’s delicious.”
It tastes honest.
Jin Tianxi enjoyed the places Sima Xuan took her.
“How do you know all this?”
“The rice business is not as easy as you think. “The purpose of the business at Geumhyeolbang is to maintain the level below that level even though they do not prepare such luxurious dishes.”
“To maintain that, you have to try the master’s cooking first, right?”
“huh. For example, cold ryangpi noodles. “It’s good to eat it like this, but when I sell it, I have to lower the unit price.”
“right. “I don’t think there are many people who have reached that level by cutting with a knife in the Geumhyeolbang guesthouse.”
“that’s right. brother. It will be served with thicker vegetables than that. Instead, if it’s noodles, it would be possible to supply dried noodles made in other Baekrin Gaekjan workshops. Seasoning is also possible. “If you continue to educate them, you will be able to cook at just the next level.”
“China, Japan, and America won’t do anything even if they die soon. you?”
“You don’t get any money for your effort. brother. There is only one person like that in Baeklin County. Maybe even if you search the entire Jiangsu Province, that person might be the only one. Or, even if you search through the entire midfield, that person might be the only one who comes out.”
“Um, right?”
Jin Cheon-hee nods.
Sima Xuan is excited, so he buys Tanghulu made from hawthorn fruit from a street vendor and gives it to her.
Jin Cheon-hee takes it and chews it until it makes a clicking sound. it’s good.
Sima Hyeon continued.
“How many bowls of food do you think that clerk can sell in a day?”
“One…. a hundred bowls?”
“okay. If he were to do it alone, he would get that much. It may seem simple to make ryangpi noodles, but it takes a lot of work to make it taste as good as that person’s. However, if you are at a level below that, you will be able to use multiple people and multiple guests. Then, 1,000 bowls a day is enough.”
“Hoo….”
“That’s business. brother. “It’s different from cooking.”
He says that and bursts into laughter.
‘There is a reason why Sima Hyun makes a lot of money.’
Jin Cheonhee thought.
“good. “It reminded me too.”
“hmm?”
Jin Cheon-hee patted his stomach.
“After all, input is important to make something delicious.”
Jin Cheonhee said and raised her thumb.
What kind of dish will be served?
‘First of all, I don’t think it’s an ordinary dish…’
Sima Hyeon became curious.
* * *
Time passed and passed again.
“Oh finally. Is there a Yuho Refrigerator Cup cold food cooking competition?”
“…?”
When Shim, one of the three bachelors, said that, the other two bachelors couldn’t understand what he meant.
Bachelor Shim spoke again.
“Is the Ice Lake Branch opening?”
“Oooooh! Bingho branch!”
Pang papang!
A congratulatory gun went off in the sky announcing the Bingho branch.
The hearts of the three scholars swelled with anticipation.
So did he.
A heated battle between chefs will begin in the permanent stadium, which has been strengthened by replacing numerous people and even using battle tactics!
“Today is the first day.”
“It’s the preliminaries. “What we did in the local Bunta was the preliminaries of the preliminaries.”
If you were to fight against hundreds of masters from each region, this was the preliminaries for those eligible to participate.
Ten players in each group gather to compete!
Among them are all Daesuksu who are famous in their area…
“Oh! That’s the Great Yellow Dragon! “Is what I saw true?”
“It’s a sure sign of mastery of the Yellow Dragon!”
“Are even chefs recognized by the Emperor participating in this competition?”
The shining gold plate on his arm is definitely the qualification of the Yellow Dragon Grand Master bestowed by the Emperor!
It means a person who has reached the top of the world.
What will the cold food prepared by these people taste like?
“Where is the daylight? “I’m not at the judges’ table.”
“…I will be at the preliminaries. “It’s not their turn yet, so they might be somewhere else.”
“Eh?”
Even though Ilgwang is the host, he participated in the preliminaries!
However, it was not Jin Cheon-hee’s turn yet.
The preliminary round will be held for 4 days.
A total of 4 groups.
40 chefs participate each day and compete against each other, with 4 remaining.
The 16 chefs selected over the course of four days advance to the finals and compete!
“No matter how important your honor is, honestly, is there a need to fight like this?”
“They say the winner will be appointed as an advisor to the Geumhyeolbang. Then, the food he makes will be cooked at Jeon Kang-ho’s Geumhyeol Gaekjan, and he will receive a portion of the sales proceeds.”
“No… crazy! “With that money, I could live on for generations!”
Bachelor Man stuck out his tongue in bewilderment.
Of course, as expected by the bachelors, the winner’s food will not be cooked in Bunta across the country. In the first place, isn’t the opponent the best fighter in the world?
The recipe prepared by the world’s best cook is so complicated and requires so many ingredients.
…many. We are planning to lower it a lot.
Until the unit price is right.
“Everyone is so curious that they will flock to Geumhyeogakjan Bunta to eat that cold dish!”
“That’s right. “I can’t believe I can eat the food prepared by the best master in the world at Bunta in my neighborhood!”
Even if the taste has been toned down quite a bit, people have something called ki-bun.
Humans often deceive their sense of taste just because of the special nature of cold food and the expectation that they can eat the best food in the world.
This blind spot is what Sima Xuan is targeting!
Although it is said that the winner will receive a share, most of the profits will go into Sima Hyun’s pocket. It can be said to be a truly mean plan.
“I will select judges for the preliminaries! Everyone, cast lots!”
At those words, people flocked like a cloud.
“Oh, it looks like the preliminaries are selected from the general public!”
If so, they also have a chance.
The three scholars’ hearts were pounding.
When they went to draw lots, the contest manager said in surprise.
“No, aren’t you the Three Scholars? “Are you here?”
Now there are many people in Gangho who recognize their faces.
This is soon.
‘It’s the result of going with the flow.’
‘We will continue to ride the wave.’
‘Is the answer flow?’
The eyes of the three scholars meet each other.
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee is watching the cooking competition from afar.
Of course, since many people recognized me here, I didn’t forget to change my appearance and clothes.
Jin Cheon-hee’s current appearance is that of an ordinary soldier belonging to Baekrin Uigak.
Even though it was the preliminaries, the stadium stands were already full of people.
At that time, someone shouted from one side.
“Noeeeee?! What is that? brain? “Did you really take out your brain?”
“Using your brain?!”
A great monk took out a brain from the refrigerator.
animal brain.
Someone said it was the brain of a red sheep.
There was no doubt that it was taking out bright red hooves.
“If it’s a red sheep, isn’t it a sheep that eats people? “If it was that big, it would have already eaten a whole village, but it looks like they caught it and slaughtered it.”
“No, but isn’t that the highest quality spiritual altar material? “You’re only using it for the preliminaries?”
“Even evil things are ultimately spiritual things. Although it is a precious material, if you win this game, you will collect a huge amount of money that will not disappear even if you spend three generations living extravagantly. Is it only three generations? “If we use that money to buy just a few stores in Nanjing, the generations to come will be able to enjoy it for the rest of their lives!”
“Oh my… Even so, I never thought they would bring spiritual material!”
Jin Cheon-hee was also shocked.
‘No… I was just playing Yuho Bingo… No, it was a contest created to promote refrigerators, but why was the spirit material shown in the preliminaries?!’
Other qualifying chefs are overwhelmed by the momentum.
‘A crazy person brings in spirit creatures as food ingredients?’
‘No… Why is this competition so high-level!?’
The nameless Daesuksu, who had brought the ingredients for the food, let out a loud snort as if showing off, and began to lightly blanch the red sheep’s brain and mix it with the eggs.
“no?!”
Jin Cheon-hee let out a small exclamation without realizing it.
Then I heard a voice.
“Hoo… brain dish. That’s hard to deal with. “Did you know that monkey brain dishes are among the eight great delicacies of Gangho?”
It was Sima Hyeon. Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“I’ve heard of it.”
I didn’t eat it.
People here say it’s a delicacy they can’t afford to pay for, but for people on Earth who have never even plucked a chicken head, eating an animal that looks a little like a human is a bit… a lot.
So I don’t eat it.
“But Hyuna. I was disguised, so how did you recognize me and come to me? “And there are so many people gathered there.”
“I tried that dish. brother.”
“What what?!”
Instead of answering, Sima Hyeon changed the topic. However, the topic turned around was so shocking that Jin Cheon-hee stuttered without realizing it.
“Red sheep?”
“No, no, it’s not like a clenched object, it’s a sheep’s brain. “Sapa Madhu, whom I once knew, served that dish to me when he was alive.”
Treated ‘while alive’?
It seems like it means he’s dead now, but somehow Sima Hyeon continued speaking calmly.
“Oh bro. “When he lent me money, he treated me with all my might, but when I came to get money, he tried to treat me with a knife. I couldn’t help it.”
“That’s right… If you die, you won’t have any debt… There must be a lot of Madou trying to kill you.”
“Strictly speaking, my master, the Golden King, will receive the bonds on my behalf, but it will still buy me quite a bit of time. So most of the people who try to kill me are people who borrowed money from me~”
‘No, that’s the only way to kill someone?’
In fact, in a world filled with money, killing people to avoid paying back money is a fairly popular motive for murder.
Sima Hyeon continued.
“Anyway, sheep brains are surprisingly edible. “It was originally designed to be eaten from the top of the head to the hooves without any waste if a sheep was slaughtered in a pastoral community, but in the central plains, it turned into a luxury food.”
Well, in this day and age, sheep are a great asset.
Why slaughter them when you can make a living by selling their wool if you just leave them alive?
It is said that the credo is not only to take only the flesh and skin, but also to use everything including the intestines, liver, and urine of sheep as food ingredients.
That’s the local traditional belief.
‘Now you’re doing it with the evil red sheep…’
At that time, the master who was cooking the red sheep’s brains secretly wiped his sweat. Then…
something covered with a cloth sparkles.
That is the emblem of the Yellow Dragon Great Beast!
Someone shouted after seeing that sentence.
“I know that person! “That person’s inspection ceremony is also two-faced!”
“…!”
Jin Cheon-hee also opened his eyes at those words.
Myeonggeomsik is also two pieces!
Jin Cheon-hee also knows this person.
One of the ten greatest masters in the world!
But now that I see it, it was no ordinary sergeant.
‘It is clear that he is at least an expert at the highest level!’
And there was a high probability that he had caught that red sheep himself.
For the best cold dish in the world today!
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“Oooooh! “They are truly mad people. I will do my best to fight them!”
As he gained momentum, Sima Hyeon, who was next to him, spoke.
“…Your brother is a member of the National Assembly, right?”
