Chapter.21 Bowl Craftsman

When I returned from Hyundai, winter was about to pass. But it’s still cold.

In the evening, hot soup dishes are sold well in restaurants. At first, many customers showed resistance to this soup dish, but recently it has become a very common sight in our restaurant.

There is nothing like this in cold weather. In particular, spicy soup warms the body, so it can be addictive in winter weather.

“Elena. It’s a soup made with vegetables and mushrooms. “It’s made a little spicy, so be careful when eating it.”

The basic base is kelp and shiitake mushrooms. It is not a boiled broth, but is simply aged to brew naturally. If you boil vegetables and various mushrooms here, the taste of the soup is quite good even if no meat is added.

As if to prove it, Elena keeps nodding her head.

“Yes, it has a light, refreshing taste and is really delicious. “It’s a little spicy, but it’s okay!”

“Yes? thank god. Hehehe.”

Elena smiles. It is a very polite yet elegant smile. But next to him, a red-haired dragon who was not at all cautious fluttered his mouth.

“How can you live by eating nothing but grass like this?”

“Is it delicious?”

“What is this!”

Serena gruffly ate the soup. And then my eyes widen.

He started shouting with a face that said he had no idea.

“Oh my oh my. “Is this delicious?”

“yes. “Our restaurant is all about cooking delicious food with just the seasoning.”

“Hmph, when is mine coming out? “I also pay money to buy it, so why do you give it to Elena first?”

“It’s coming out soon. “Customers who pay money to eat.”

Elena ordered first, so of course she went first. That’s what I mean.

I glared at Serena to silence her and returned to the kitchen.

Besides, there are quite a few customers today. So there was a lot of cooking to do.

“Hey, Lurin, take this to the meat dish Serena ordered. And this too.”

“Why are you so busy! “I’m having a hard time!”

“You’re having a hard time just doing that? “If you want to achieve your goal, you better hurry up and start serving!”

“Huh, they didn’t even give me food…” . But this looks delicious.”

Grumbling is a standard feature, but it still gets the job done.

until now.

However, perhaps because they heard it was Red Dragon’s food, a delivery accident suddenly occurred.

“I don’t know about your other guests, but there’s no need to give Red something delicious like this. Oh, it’s delicious!”

“Hey Black! Why you! why! Eat my food! I bought that with my own money! “Do you want to die?”

When Lulin touched the dish, Serena jumped out and snatched the plate.

But the ribs were already cut in half.

Rurin started laughing while sucking the rib seasoning off her fingertips.

“Be thankful you left half! Hi-Hi.”

“Woo wow, you’re laughing!”

“Hey, I’m going to make you some more Serena, so don’t make a fuss and just go sit down. “Kick them out?”

“… … Here we go again! I’m a guest too! You unfair cook! He starts first… !”

Yes, that’s correct. No matter how much Red Dragon pays, he is a customer.

Coo coo coo coo.

Therefore, punishment was inflicted on Lurin’s temple. Only then did the red dragon sit down and start eating the meat.

“Aang! How many times have I said I don’t like this… ! “It hurts!”

“Stop being stupid. Ugh.”

Rurin glares at me and complains of injustice. What else is there to be unfair about?

“What did you say if I did a good job today?”

“He said he would tickle me when I sleep!”

“But is this something you’re good at now?”

“I was doing well. But you can eat some of the red ones! Isn’t that right?”

“If you pay, you are a customer. Now follow me. If you pay, even Red Dragon is a customer!”

“Ugh.”

“Lurin is angry?”

“Why are you taking Red Dragon’s side! “We demand improvement!”

“You sound like an improvement.”

Rurin raises her eyebrows. The protests are very harsh. But I ignored it and returned to the kitchen to resume work.

They pounded the noodles into flour and made noodles for Elena’s mushroom casserole. And then you have to cook the next meal right away.

“hey! Lurin! What are you doing there! Give me 5 seconds! 5! “Please put this in Elena’s casserole.”

“It’s a vicious restaurant. “Improve!”

Lulin declared a fight and walked to Elena’s table with noodles in his hand.

I started making dishes to serve to the guests in front of me. The dish we will make this time is a simple home-cooked meal. This dish was ordered by a regular young man sitting at the bar table in front of me.

His name was Piner, and he introduced himself as someone who made pottery.

When I presented the dish to him, he looked at it with an inquiring look on his face and put it in his mouth with great concentration.

“This is really delicious. “What on earth is a simple home-cooked meal made from that tastes so good?”

“That? You asked for a simple dish, so it was just plain stir-fried vegetables and meat. “Meat is common Uva.”

“I can’t believe you get such a deep flavor with uva and vegetables. In particular, the Uba meat is crispy and soft on the inside, and the vegetables are crunchy and seasoned well… !”

“That’s too much praise.”

The food he is eating is literally a simple stir-fried cabbage and pork made by stir-frying cabbage and pork.

It’s not something to make a fuss about.

“Hmm, it looks like a simple dish, but it doesn’t look simple at all… ? “The taste is the same.”

“I’m in the business of selling food, and even if it’s the same home cooking, there has to be something different about it.”

“is that so… ? Hey, can you please tell me how to make this! please. please!”

“Recipe? “There’s nothing I can’t teach you, but why suddenly again?”

“It’s actually because of the girlfriend I told you about before. I really want to feed you the food I made… . “I want to show people that I can cook even if I get married.”

Finner scratched his head, lowered his head, and asked again.

“Of course. “It’s a simple dish, so I’ll tell you.”

“Are you sure? thank you! It is an honour!”

“No, there is no glory in having a simple dish.”

I smiled at the slightly fussy young man and explained the recipe. In fact, the point of stir-fried pork and cabbage is how to grill the pork.

The pork is mixed with soy sauce and salt and then fried. The key here is how to use the oil. It is important to cook the outside until crispy.

“thank you! thank you!”

The young man expressed his gratitude to the point of exaggeration and almost drank the rest of the dish before leaving. After a while, all the other guests left and only Elena and Serena remained.

“So, what are you doing there, Lurin?”

After adding some noodles, Rurin, the Hamheung tea master, was clinging to Sereina and slurping them together.

“it serves him right! Didn’t I say it was delicious! “He’s like Red, who is very suspicious.”

“Ugh, I’m upset, but that’s right.”

“Hehehe, don’t you eat dry flour? “If something like this tastes good, you said you’d turn your hair black?”

“I’ve never done that before? ouch! Suddenly my stomach hurt. Toilet Toilet!”

Red Dragon seemed to have bet his hair color on a useless bet and suddenly ran out, complaining of stomach pain.

Elena looked alternately at the departed Serena and the triumphant Lulin with a very troubled expression.

The dragon I was so afraid of.

However, Elena, who had been surrounded by two dragons a lot recently, seemed to have gotten rid of her fear of dragons a little.

A welcome guest has arrived. I asked who it was, Mr. Benen, who was the owner of the orchard. He is currently a late groom who is about to get married.

“Come in quickly! “The best restaurant in Gray City is right here.”

“here?”

“With a dull expression. Anyway, since he is a craftsman and walks around showing off, you can’t recognize the real restaurant. Are you still judging only by looking at the outside? “Tsk, tsk.”

“That’s not true!”

Mr. Benen waved at me and entered the restaurant with a man of the same age who appeared to be a friend. He was a fairly decent-looking man, but his distinguishing feature was the small scars on his hands.

“Well, I heard a lot about you getting help, but… .”

“then! Exactly. Please sit down. sit down.”

Mr. Benen sat his friend down at the table and called me. And then he started introducing his friends.

“This guy is the owner of the largest workshop in Gray City that makes a variety of dishes, from expensive tableware to ordinary people’s tableware. His skill in making dishes is so excellent that he is a craftsman who comes from other cities to learn. This guy is always obsessed with baking dishes. He said he had something to discuss after a long time, so he came straight to the restaurant. So, give me some delicious drinks and some food. Ha ha ha ha ha.”

“Oh, I see. “Are you a pottery maker?”

“Yes, the dishes from this store are sold not only to Gray City but also to other cities.”

“Huh, it’s not that bad. My name is Hone. Anyway, nice to meet you. I heard that you helped your friend. I also want to say thank you. I knew I was foolishly continuing my unrequited love, but… .”

“Stop talking about that!”

The two started talking happily. I also started cooking happily.

It is very nice to have friends bring their friends to my restaurant, saying it is the best restaurant.

It wasn’t as crowded as yesterday and it was very quiet, so I relaxed and focused on Mr. Benen’s cooking.

“this is? The bowl… .”

There are a lot of dwarven tableware, but if you listen to Mr. Benen’s story, the other tableware that I buy at the market was made by the man in front of me.

So I deliberately put the food in that bowl.

“It’s definitely a bowl I made… . You are using it here too. “Thank you so much for this.”

“of course. “There were a lot of dishes I liked.”

“Plus, the dish on the plate is really beautiful. It brings out the dishes to their fullest potential and brings out the color of the dish. Benen I think I understand what you said. “Isn’t this the most beautiful thing I’ve ever cooked using my dishes?”

“yes? So just eat. Cooking is not about appreciating cooking, it is about eating. “Eating.”

The dish I served is a classic. A dish that shines in a bowl with a combination of colorful vegetables and meat.

The harmony of the colors and the bowl seemed to have appealed to Mr. Hone.

Well, I’m glad if that’s the case.

If the customer feels good and I feel good, isn’t that a successful service?

“Anyway, why did you ask to see me? “The guy who didn’t even meet me because he was busy.”

Mr. Benen poured a drink for Mr. Horne and asked a question. Mr. Horne paused for a moment, then took a drink and opened his mouth again.

“It’s because of my daughter’s marriage. Maybe it was because it was time to get married, but he was begging me to marry him… .”

“Hmm, you don’t even know when you look at me? “If you want to marry someone, just do it right away.”

“That kid is my student. Although he is sincere, he has nothing. An orphan with no parents… . As a disciple, I don’t know, but I don’t feel trustworthy in many ways to entrust my daughter with my life. Moreover, another student also proposed to me at the same time. But this is the eldest son of a huge workshop in Melk City. It’s a rich family. It’s better as a marriage partner for your daughter and you don’t want to go through any hardships. “Anyway, my son has to inherit my workshop.”

“Hmm… . Still, if you love each other, there is no need to separate.”

“Even if it’s good that our hearts are aligned, is there any guarantee that those feelings will last a lifetime? The moment your heart cools down, you will see everything again. “It would be better to marry someone of equal stature.”

“So are you going to send it to the son of the workshop?”

“but… My daughter is so stubborn… “My head hurts.”

“Huh.”
