Top Chef with Hidden Quest #6

#On rainy days

As Lucia returned to the shop, she noticed an empty counter and her blood pressure began to rise.


This is due to the fact that Marcus, who is known for his laziness, was still gone.


“Marcus!” 


This time, I was on my way to the kitchen to properly scold Marcus, and he came out just in time.


“You still leave the counter empty…”


Lucia, who had been yelling, unexpectedly became silent.

The sense of something tickling the tip of your nose.

There was a mouthwatering fragrance somewhere, but as soon as I smelled it, my saliva got stuck in my mouth, and I couldn’t continue talking.


“Would you like to give it a try?”


Han-Gil, who had borrowed Marcus’s body, smiled softly and offered a plate to Lucia.

On top of that, there were several layers of green onions pancake baked in brown.


“I moved a container by mistake and it spilled into the food, turning it into something else.”


Hangil gave a practiced explanation, but Lucia was not listening. She was looking at the green onion pancake with her mouth half open.


She held out her hand, enchanted, but Han-Gil firmly slapped the back of her hand.

“You said you wanted me to try it!”

Lucia pouted her lips, a resentful expression on her face.

“I’ll personally deliver it to you. Please be patient.”

Lucia bites her lower lip, as if it wasn’t enough.


Be patient while smelling this?!


It was nothing but torture.

Han-Gil passed the green onion pancake to her in less than a minute, but it felt like a year had passed.


“Oh, it’s hot!”


The pancake was hotter than I expected, but Lucia didn’t care and blew it in her mouth.

Goo-wok!


When the steam followed by a fragrant aroma entered my nose, I couldn’t take it any longer.

Let’s eat it right now!


Crispy!


The sides, which had been well-baked, crumbled easily.


“What?’

I didn’t have time to be surprised by the softness. The sweet fragrance of green onions filled my mouth.


The mushrooms that had been hidden were chewed, and the juice of a faint aroma came out as I closed my eyes and tasted it.


It was a series of unexpected events.


“How can it taste like this?”


Lucia tore the pancake apart once more and shoved it into her mouth. I couldn’t stop once I got started.


“How is it?”


Lucia had no answer, but Han-Gil didn’t care.


[Lucia is happy with your cooking.)
[15 Gourmet points have been paid.]


This is because a window that represents her heart has popped up.

‘Is Lucia the restaurant owner?’

Han-Gil was pleased to see Lucia’s hungry expression, as though she hadn’t noticed him at all.

‘This seems to be to the Romans’ liking.’

There are only two hours left in the hologram.

Based on Lucia’s reaction, it seemed that 30 servings could be sold within the time limit.

Han-Gil returned to the kitchen after obtaining permission to sell pancakes and quickly prepared the dough.

First, the flour was poured into the water, and then the green onions were chopped and added to the dough.

Mushrooms are next.

‘By now, I’m sure it’s tasted good.’

Mushrooms were cut into bite-size pieces and marinated in brown liquid.

When I dipped my little finger in the liquid and sampled it, it tasted salty and had a strong scent that piqued my interest.

[Garum (Level 4) is already registered in the Gourmet Shop.]

Product Name: Garum

Rating: 4

Place of origin: Bolonia, Spain

Price: 150 Gourmet Points

Information: A Roman-style fish sauce of mackerel marinated in herbs and salt and aged for 60 days. It is a seasoning used instead of salt.

Because it was a seasoning, I was concerned that the raw fish would smell fishy, but the fishy smell disappeared with the heat.

Adding Worcester sauce instead of fish sauce gave it a similar flavor. It complements the flavor of the mushroom and adds spice to the dish as a whole.

I had planned on making a seafood pancake…

Regrettably, mushrooms were used, but the end result was not bad.

Mushrooms have a juicy, chewy texture that is comparable to that of squid. It had been marinated in garum sauce and also had a seafood flavor.

Lucia was tilting her head as she finished her dough and returned to the dining hall.

“Why did you bring it out?”

“I’m going to cook outside.”

“Outside?”

She looked confused when Hangil came out with the grill.

“The kitchen was poorly ventilated. It’s not a bad scent for the guests to smell.”

“Ah!”

Lucia nodded loudly in response to Han Gil’s words.

She, too, realized it.

The fact that pancake incense has magical powers attracts people.

‘So, shall we get started?’

Hangil poured a generous amount of oil into a hot frying pan and dropped the dough with a ladle.

Chi!

I was greeted violently by a sound, as if it had been waiting for me. The sound of sizzling rain and sizzling oil echoed in perfect harmony.

When the pancake’s edge turned a delicious golden color. Hangil gently shook the fan and flipped it passionately.

Pop!

The round pancake floats in the air.

“No!”

Lucia screamed briefly, but the pancake circulated half a turn in the air before landing safely in the frying pan.

“Uh?”

It was a simple performance.

It catches the attention of not only Lucia, but also a few passers-by.

Hangil smiled as he noticed several people approaching.

It’s a success.

You simply need to get closer within the scent range of a pancake.

It didn’t take long for the first order to arrive.

“How much is this?

When I looked up, a man was looking at a pancake with a hungry expression on his face.
