God of cooking

Chapter 90: The weight of a restaurant (3)

This does not belong to me. It is translated by KobatoChanDaiSuki.  

Kaya froze her face as if she got bewildered. To marry. It was a word she had never imagined. Jo Minjoon slightly looked towards Kaya. Kaya got surprised and opened her mouth by instinct.

"What, what? Why?"
"......Why do you get that surprised? I just looked at you."
"Your look was greasy."
"I don't think that my eyes could get greasy."

Jo Minjoon frowned and pulled both of his eyes. He didn't have double eyelids and his upper eyelids wasn't even deep. He looked like white people couldn't expect a profound look from him. Kaya coughed.

"Shut up. Just eat. You have to understand the flavor."
"But you were the one that wasn't eating until just now and was doing something else."
"For who was I....... Leave it."

Kaya got angry and looked at him sharply, but soon grinded her teeth and chewed the food with strength. It was to the point that it made you wonder if she would be able to properly feel the flavor.

Jo Minjoon slowly looked over the dishes. They were mostly 7 or 8 points. Compared to the reputation, it could be quite a low score, but it could also be seen as being decent. The skills of the head chef would be much better than the others, but the role of the head chef was to manage the dishes rather than to cook them.

Of course, if you only practiced the same menu, then the quality of the food would improve. But honestly it lacked something. It wasn't in vain that the head chef himself cooked a meal for a VVIP customer. And of course, pointing out that it was customer discrimination was also a problem.

That's why it was an impressive thing that they went to Rose Island last time. It wasn't only the management of the head chef or his recipe, but also the talent of the chefs that each had their own section, was quite significant. They would have to take into account many things, but it was still impressive even taking things into account.

Compared to Rose Island, he could see many lacking points, but just because of that it didn't mean that the On The Lake restaurant was a low quality one. It was flocking with customers, so constantly making a 9-point dish wasn't an easy thing. Didn't the two-star restaurant he went to when he was in New York only have two 9-point dishes?

"Does it suit your tastes?"
"Yes, it's fine. What's the price for here?"
"I'm not sure about those that are served a la carte, but if you choose the most expensive thing on the menu, $60 is sufficient."
"I think that it's worth $60, although it doesn't mean that there are no lacking points."

Alan didn't particularly ask the score. Looking at Jo Minjoon's reaction, he didn't seem to be really impressed. If he didn't talk well about it, it was better to not ask the score in the first place because you wouldn't be able to make anyone happy, much more when Jo Minjoon was soon going to work in this restaurant's kitchen.

The meal ended and Kaya and Minjoon were reading the recipe while standing in the kitchen. Jo Minjoon asked in a calm voice.

"Did you memorize everything?"
"......I'm weak at memorizing."
"Don't just think of it as some words, but remember the cooking method. Or should we do it like this? You take care of the roasting, and I will take care of everything aside of that. Even if we do it like that, we should be able to work quite effectively."
"But do restaurants really work like that?"
"I wonder. They should each have their own styles."

Jo Minjoon said in a casual voice. At his attitude, Kaya looked at him with sharp eyes and then she started to read the recipe as if competitiveness surged within her.

What she was in charge of were the fishes would that serve as the main dish. There was nothing aside from fish, since On The Lake was next to Lake Michigan and took on the shape of a restaurant specializing in seafood. But despite that, they don't only use fish caught in the lake.
