Top Chef with Hidden Quest#10

# There are trends in food too

“Would you like to place an order?”

“I’ve ordered two fried rice dishes and one pork cutlet. But, boss, isn’t there a salad on the menu?”

“The menu is being prepared, so it is not yet sold, but I will provide some as a service.”

Salad inquiries followed orders from place to place.

Some people gave Han Gil a tasting salad in the morning, while others did not, based on their expressions.

‘If you know a salad that you haven’t eaten but that you don’t even have on the menu…’

Rumors appeared to be spreading.

Only one day has passed, but the impact of street promotion has been greater than I expected.

But I couldn’t afford to be happy.

“Boss, another order.”

“Doesn’t there seem to be any water here?”

Han Gil took over the kitchen and the hall by himself because it was always a leisurely shop, but suddenly customers came in, and there was a shortage of work.

Take orders, cook, serve, check out, and clear the table.

Only one person can play all five roles.

It doesn’t matter much, but it takes time.

The expression on the customer’s face who had not yet placed the order was not good.

“Do you believe the boss does everything by himself?”

A voice behind my back also asked me to listen halfway.

A cold sweat broke out on my brow.

I imagined a conversation that the guests would have in the office.

‘I went back to where I gave you the salad in the morning…’

‘It took quite some time to get an order…’

Even without publicity, it can be counterproductive.

What’s the point of having someone come in once in a while?

I need to turn it into a restaurant that they want to return to.

Han Gil returned to the kitchen quickly and hurriedly prepared a salad.

Put a lot of vegetables in a large stain bowl, sprinkle with the prepared dressing, and mix it several times with a wooden spatula.

So that a single leaf does not fall out and is coated.

The flavor of the salad is determined by how well the dressing is applied. It is critical to mix them evenly, but this step is frequently overlooked.

This is because a dressing is provided for the packaged salad in case the vegetables are out of breath.

Han Gil went out on his own, bringing plenty of salad to fill with treats.

“This is a service.”

“Wow!”

The salad’s generosity astounded the waiting guests. Twice the salads sold in general provide a good amount, but no one hates it.

“Are there a lot of cheese?”

“If you don’t have enough, please let me know and I’ll give you more.”

“Isn’t it too good, boss?”

After distributing salads to all of the tables, the annoyance I had noticed earlier was completely forgotten.

It wasn’t the time to figure out how much to leave per plate.

It should be remembered as a restaurant that will leave a positive impression and entice customers to return.

First, I need to set aside some time.

Han Gil dashed back into the kitchen and began cooking.

I came down as soon as the lunch break began, but there were no empty seats and four customers in front of me.

“I’m going to go all the way through lunch.”

“OK, I don’t think I have time to drink coffee?”

I knew I’d go to another restaurant as soon as I got in line.

Bora was agitated because of him.

The three female employees who had decided to eat lunch together today were uneasy.

At the very least, it wasn’t the right time to beg for patience.

Bora naturally questioned Ji-Hye.

“How about the other menu here, Commissioner? Yesterday’s fried rice was fantastic. It was the first time I tried the fried rice with fire flavor, which I had only seen on TV! I’d like to eat it again, but I’m curious about other foods……

“The pork cutlet is also of high quality here. I’m not eating at a fast-food restaurant, I mean, the fried pork are delicious! Just by looking at the tempura, you can tell which restaurants are really good!”

Ji-Hye, thankfully, responded well.

Ji-Hye was a self-proclaimed gourmet.

He provided a foothold like this, but he was not the type to turn it down.

“Do you not sense it?”

“No, I don’t smell any oil there and the meat is also very juicy…”

Ji-hye continued the story of the pork cutlet.

Quite loudly.

I got the impression that not only Bora’s party, but also the people waiting in the back, were paying attention.

Bora had no idea, but the people behind her were also hesitant to wait in line for an hour-long lunch break.

However, no one deviated from the path after hearing the Ji-Hye’s words.

“If you say that much, you have to eat and leave.”

 “I want to eat everything and leave.”

“Ah…. I’m getting hungrier.”

Bora’s and the group’s atmosphere are also waiting.

At that time, the store’s door immediately opened, and customers rushed out.

“I’ll just set up the table and start guiding you right away. Please be patient.”

I kept waiting, but I couldn’t be happier to wait just a little bit longer.

When Han Gil smiled gently and asked for patience, the women were forced to nod their heads.

Han Gil was taller than 180 cm and not as attractive as an actor, but he had a gentle demeanor.

Nonetheless, the warm young boss, sweating on his brow, is forced to move his heart to his passionate appearance.

“Wow!” says one. “What exactly is this?”

“Because you are a regular customer, its special service.”

Bora and her party were shown to their seats and marveled at the service that came before ordering.

There were three large bowls of salad and a lot of it.

“Why don’t you think it tastes better than what I ate before?”

“It doesn’t have any expensive ingredients, so why is that?”

“It would be nice if this was all wrapped up. Isn’t it just for breakfast?”

The food that followed was delicious.
