God of cooking

Chapter 47: Unexpected fame (4)

The atmosphere got cold. Maybe they were surprised at Kaya's curses, or they agreed with her at getting angry.......Nobody from the team could open their mouths. And the red team looked at Kaya and whispered by themselves.

And it was the same for Alan. As the judge in charge of the kitchen, he understood how Kaya was feeling and her rage. However the problem was after that. How will she lead her teammate after exploding in rage? Alan looked at what they were doing with a more serious look.

Kaya took in deep breaths coarsely. Peter didn't reply anything back and just looked down at the chopping board. He was angry. To Kaya and to himself. Grand Chef was also an opportunity for him. An opportunity that presents only a couple of times. And right now, that opportunity was trying to leave from his sight. He couldn't not be angry.

But he couldn't shout back. Because the responsibility of this disaster was on himself. Peter wasn't a stupid person as to not be able to think of that.

".........I'm sorry."

Peter said disheartenedly. Kaya, that was prepared to go another round at it if he was planning to refute her, in the end shut her mouth and glared at him. Only after a long while did she turned her head back. She also looked for a while at Hugo and opened her mouth.

"Hugo. The ossobuco, you can't present it first right?"
"Are you kidding? Even if I don't do well from now on, I will at least need twenty minutes more for it to have a proper flavor. It's absolutely a no right now."
"......In the end I will have to decide here. If I'm going to remove the middle main dish, or if I'm going to take care of it."

Kaya looked at Peter. Peter wasn't saying a thing and just looking down. Kaya let out a sigh and said.

"What are you going to do? Decide quick. There's almost no time. The maximum we can get late is at most 15 minutes. Think about a dish you can make in that time."
"Wait.....Wait."
"Whew, Minjoon. You too, think. If you have no ideas, we can't help it but to skip this part."
"I'm thinking."

Jo Minjoon closed his eyes and fell in his thoughts. Because when he closed his eyes, the system's window was seen more clearly in that dark world. It soon became a habit when he started to design something.

He didn't even know how he got that kind of habit. And actually, even if Peter's tandoori chicken breast was well roasted, it also became a problem. Because the masala sauce that was full of strong spices, was enough to kill all the flavor that came afterwards.It meant that it would sink the flavor of the soon upcoming ossobuco.

Peter said that he wanted to make salad to catch that heavy flavor, but Jo Minjoon was opposed to that. Because the score the system was showing him was only 6. It wasn't that good of a score. And Jo Minjoon was sure that the cause of that low score was the tandoori chicken breast.

He did say that he was opposed to it, but Peter's attitude was just too stubborn. If it was right now, he thought that he would be able to change the menu completely.

However it was a short thinking. Because that was only if he had enough time to think of a recipe. Even if he thought of many recipes in his head, there were no recipes that surpassed 6 points. It could only be that way. 15 minutes. They had to make a dish that didn't last longer than that. And thinking of a recipe that wouldn't disturb the flavor of the dish that would come after that and was delicious at the same time wasn't an easy thing to do.

"What about mixing mozzarella and fresh avocado and making a simple chicken steak?"
"It would be too greasy. Preferably......"

Jo Minjoon stopped for a moment. The recipe he thought of in his head was only 6 points. However, in case he included cooking, he could raise the score to 7. Jo Minjoon opened his mouth nervously.
