Chapter 2148 – [I Want to Hit the President]

After the introduction of trust scores for media outlets and journalists, there was a major upheaval in the media and broadcasting industry. In the vulgar language, those who were called ‘giregi’ lost their positions and were kicked out, and only reporters and journalists with a sense of duty filled their positions.

If you’re a PD at a broadcasting company, and you’re making a fuss about entertainment through malicious editing, biased broadcasting, etc., Your trust score will be ruined, and you’ll be advertising ‘I’m trash’, so what can you do? It’s actually a stuffed animal in a different sense.

Of course, there were scoundrels who seemingly backed away and tried to take advantage of current journalists, but that was gradually resolved. As true journalists fill the seats, just like the purifying effect of water, the environment has become difficult for them to wield power as if they were unofficial figures.

Did you say that fish cannot survive in water that is too clean? It’s good to roughly think about that. Of course, the cleaner the place people live, the better.

In any case, the media and broadcasting companies that have become so clean each strive to broadcast or write articles with a firm goal. Maybe that’s why it was quite ingenious… But on the other hand, there were people who could be called idiots or weirdos.

“Oh, Mr. President!!! Thank you so much for giving me permission to broadcast!!! To be honest, I didn’t even know this would happen… Ah!!! I’m PD Kim Jeong-jun!!!”

“It was such a stupid idea, but I liked it. But you somehow managed to ask me, the president, to film it?”

I don’t particularly think of the position of president as authoritative. I just think about the responsibility that comes with it.

But apart from that, asking the President for something like this was not an easy action in itself. There was the Queen of England who attended a commoner’s wedding just because she had sent a wedding invitation, but then again, it is rare to ask something from someone who is far from everyday life.

It could be meaningless, so I usually don’t… Normally, I would have refused or ignored it because I was busy, but this time, since they asked me to play, I deliberately agreed.

“Yes, through this broadcast, we want to convey various social issues, stories, and emotions to the people. Since you are the President, the fixed viewership ratings will be significant, and it will also have a social impact.”

“Hmm, what are you thinking about first?”

“I think the first target of the broadcast will be daycare centers. The children are cute enough to attract people’s attention. On the other hand, if it is announced that the President is interested in daycare centers, the places with problems will change their attitude a little.”

“Oh, it’s pretty good.”

Just because I am the [Earth’s Bookshelf], I cannot do everything. In the former case, it is because of individual limitations, and in the latter case, because of resource limitations.

There are still many corruptions and problems in Korea. In particular, in the case of private daycare centers, there are still many problems such as poor facilities, school meals, embezzlement by the director, etc. Of course, if you get caught, you will be robbed and your life will be ruined… But the problem is that there are still people who commit it.

In fact, if she puts her mind to it, Eve can apply [Earth’s Bookshelf] To her power and create a country where anyone who commits a crime will have a crime stamped on their head on the spot and a fine will be imposed immediately for throwing even a single piece of trash on the side of the road. But wouldn’t that be too dystopian? Neither I nor Eve like that, so we don’t do it.

“It would be fun to pay attention to public interest aspects and secure viewership ratings. Then, let’s film it together.”

“Well, since cooking and mukbang are the main topics, if it’s okay, would it be possible for Eden to appear as well? I think that would attract more interest.”

“Maybe Eden will say that he will appear right away if I tell him, but there is no need to do so from the beginning. It would be better to look at the long term and appear at the best time.”

“Ah!!! You were thinking of it as a fixed program!!! My thoughts were short!!!!”

The reason I intentionally think long is that I try to play for that long. If I can’t do it, I can broadcast it for a few months, or if I’m popular, every year. I can show the public that I’m not doing presidential work and having fun. Would you just miss this opportunity?

A broadcast program was created immediately. As previously decided, the name of the program was ‘Let’s Eat One Meal’ to express the purpose of feeding people one meal at a time.

“It’s better to ask someone to eat than to go around asking for food. But when will I appear on the show?”

“I’ll come out later when I run out of medicine. Using special moves from the beginning is something I do while observing the situation.”

“Speaking of Eden, will we also appear in the future?”

“Maybe. I have a chance to appear later, so I can go and watch it then.”

“If it’s something that requires a lot of work, leave it to me!!!”

If you have Korma, you can serve food to all soldiers in any military division. Not just Jjambap, but a homemade dish.

Ah!!! Since I was in the military, it occurred to me that it would be nice to go feed the soldiers later. From the perspective of parents who sent their children to the military, it would be good and reassuring to see their children eating the food prepared by the president himself.

I’ll remember it, so I can use it as broadcast material later… And for now, I’ll prepare to broadcast the monumental first episode.

When the broadcasting company selected a separate daycare center, chose the most suitable location, and asked for cooperation for filming, the daycare center readily agreed and was able to set up a date. However, one thing that concerns me is that the target audience for the first broadcast is children who are now five or six years old.

“First, I spoke separately to the parents of the children at the daycare center, but it is not easy to talk to them because they are children. They are still young and have no self-control.”

“That’s true.”

“Furthermore, in my experience, there were children who were nervous or scared at the filming site. So, um…”

“It’s okay. Just tell me.”

“Nothing else, Mr. President, aren’t you free to change your gender?”

“Yes?”

No, why does that suddenly appear?

Of course it’s not a secret. There are times when he openly transforms himself in front of people, so there are probably not only Koreans but also foreigners who don’t know about it. He is the world’s first perfect bisexual president who can change gender. If you don’t know, you’ll wonder if he’s an alien.

“It is said that the reason why daycare teachers are mostly women is that it makes the children feel safe. Wouldn’t children be less afraid of the president or older sister they are unfamiliar with and feel closer to them than the president they are unfamiliar with?”

“Uh… Okay. Then, let’s change into a woman and take the picture.”

“I think it would be a good idea to take pictures of the transformation in advance. Ah, the makeup…”

“I’m going to see my kids, but I don’t want to wear any makeup. Isn’t it a bit weird to smell like cosmetics while eating?”

“Then I will just apply light basic makeup.”

And on the day of filming. I went into filming while transformed into a woman. First, we met with the daycare teachers and exchanged personal greetings. As it was a lot of work, most of them were young women, and it was noticeable that they seemed slightly tired.

“Ah, hello Mr. President. Thank you for your continued support today…”

“It looks like the teachers had a hard time preparing for filming today. Let’s film first and then talk about it separately.”

“Yes, yes…”

I remember cleaning and organizing when the division commander was coming. However, in this case, I was the cause.

First, prepare the main dish of the broadcast. It takes a lot of work, as you have to pay more attention to it than usual since it’s for the kids.

The only thing better was that the daycare center where we filmed was a suitable place with about 40 students. Considering that I prepared over 10,000 rows of kimbap before, I can feed about 40 kids by myself.

First, the main dish is hamburger steak, which no kid would hate. Of course, it will be made with beef brought in from the Garden of Eden, so it is not only tasty but also nutritious, and I plan to add vegetables and add a sweet sauce to it.

However, if there is a problem, it is the dishes other than the main dish. Considering nutritional balance, vegetables should be fed to children, but since they are at an age where they are picky eaters, it is inevitable that feeding them vegetables is not easy. Our Eden is a very picky eater, so she didn’t suffer from picky eating in this episode, but there are 40 kids who might be picky eaters.

I guess I’ll have to pay some attention… Ah, should I have soybean rice? Soybeans are very nutritious.

As I begin to cook in earnest, the cameraman asks me about the cooking similarly.

“What kind of dish will you cook?”

“First, the main dish is hamburger steak. I’m going to add stewed vegetables and corn soup to make it taste like a Western food.”

Main dish – hamburger, rice – kidney bean rice, soup – corn soup, side dish – stewed vegetables, kimchi.

It may seem like a lot of work, but considering the amount of food eaten by five- or six-year-old children, not even elementary school students, it is not actually 40 servings. It would probably be enough to make half that amount.

I started cooking right away. Aside from everything else, what I cared about was the stewed vegetables among the side dishes, and since it was obvious that children would be picky eaters, I had to make it delicious just by looking at it.

Vegetables are served in chunks. You can cook the vegetables as they are to get to know their appearance and taste… But they are made in a completely different form.

The ingredients are carrots and radishes. Since I couldn’t cut the two well, I cut them into dice shapes of a certain size and left the slightly different shapes as side dishes for the teachers. Boiled the square vegetable cubes separately and then simmered them in the broth prepared in advance.

It’s called broth, but it’s not just broth, it’s seafood broth. Anyone who has tried it knows that the radish in a braised dish is delicious because it is soaked in flavor, but like carrots, people have different opinions, but if they are boiled well, they have a unique sweetness that is good.

The stewed vegetables made that way… Are not just decorated, but are made into a 2X2 Rubik’s Cube shape. Although they are cut into bite-sized pieces, since they are children, their vegetable intake is adjusted to a certain level.

The shape of the cube, which is a mixture of the transparent white of a radish and the orange of a carrot, looks like a toy rather than a dish. It will be very popular with kids.

“Everyone, today the President has come to cook a delicious dish for you. So don’t leave anything behind and enjoy it.”

“”””Yes~.””””

Although we prepared all the dishes and left, the children who received the trays did not respond very well to the other dishes, even though they were delicious hamburger steaks. There were more children than expected who showed interest in stewed vegetable cubes, perhaps because of their color and shape, but unexpectedly, many children expressed aversion to soybean and rice.

Even though the daycare teacher knew about the children’s behavior, he just ignored them. Even though they are filming, you can see that they are going through a hard time persuading them to eat.

“Okay then, let’s eat deliciously. A good child should eat well, right?”

“I don’t like carrots…”

That’s a lot of trouble. Just looking at it, there are children who touch the hamburger steak, but there are children who do not touch the other side dishes.

So I decided to help out a little. Since ancient times, my parenting experience is difficult to count, so I was able to cook well for picky eaters.

First, I approached the child who was not eating vegetable cubes. Even if you touch it like a toy, it doesn’t eat it, so I watched it carefully. I put in techniques and persuaded the child according to his/her eye level.

“Huh? Don’t you eat carrots?”

“Carrots are tasteless… They taste strange and are hard…”

“Ah, normal carrots are like that. But those carrots are different.”

“Yes?”

“Those carrots are boiled and then cooked in broth. Oh, do you like seafood? Crabs or shrimp…”

“Shrimp!!! I love shrimp!!!!”

“When those carrots were stewed, seafood broth with shrimp was used. Seafood broth has a refreshing taste, but carrots stewed in that broth do not contain the taste of the seafood. In fact, because the carrots are made that way, they are not hard at all and are soft when chewed. The taste of crustaceans like shrimp and crabs that seeped into it bursts out!!!!”

“Waaaaa!!!!!”

“It’s delicious, right? Don’t be fooled and give it a try.”

Whatever it is, starting is important. The neat, toy-like appearance of the stewed vegetable cubes first attracts attention, and by explaining the cooking process, it stimulates the appetite and encourages people to eat on their own. It’s not a coercive method, and once you eat it, it’s not difficult to do it a second time, so there’s no problem.

The children also enjoyed the stewed vegetables. It was made deliciously, and the seafood broth gave off a savory taste like gravy when chewed. The kids loved it so much that there was even a kid who stole his friend’s side dish.

And next, the picky bean and rice eater… Is persuaded differently.

“Who hasn’t eaten soybean rice? Come this way.”

“Uh…”

“I’m not trying to scold you, so come back for a moment. I’m going to tell you a secret.”

“Oh…!!!”

Kids especially) are fascinated by secret stories.

I spoke to the children, both men and women, who gathered around with a reasonable amount of nonsense. There are different likes and dislikes about beans regardless of the taste, so you will eat them well if you create a purpose for eating them beyond the taste.

“Look at the girls. What do you think about the President and Eden when they see you? You know that they are tall and tall in many other ways, right?”

“Yes!!!”

“I know Eden too!!!!!”

“Yeah, right, but does Eden know how she got so big?”

“Huh…?”

“It’s all because I eat beans well. Of course, I eat other things besides beans well, but we often eat beans or mixed grain rice in our house. Is there anyone here who wants to be pretty and grow up like Eden?”

“Me!!!!!”

“Me!!!!! Me too!!!!!”

“Okay, then you should eat beans and rice well, right? Oh, of course boys do that too.”

“Us too?”

“What do you think is the reason why I, the president of you, appear ordinary on the outside, but can exert greater strength than that? I need to build muscles more than I look on the outside, but can I do that by eating only meat? Since ancient times, if you want to build muscles, meat is good, but you also have to eat beans. If we all eat meat to build muscle, but someone also eats beans, who has more strength?”

“Uh…”

“Huh? But girls eat beans? If you go later, you’ll hear that you’re weaker than girls.”

“Oh!!!! I want to eat beans too!!!!”

“I will eat it all!!!!!”

In fact, if you look into it, you will find that although some of what I say may be true, it is also mixed with lies. However, despite this, children began to eat dishes that they had been picky about.

Perhaps by the time you find out the truth, the taste itself will take care of itself and your aversion to it will disappear. However, if you know the taste and still don’t eat it… Then it’s your choice, so just let them do it. I can’t stick around with my kids until they die and tell them to eat this or that.

“Oh, that’s a good technique for picky eaters.”

“If children don’t like to be picky eaters, it’s better to stimulate them to eat on their own rather than forcing them to eat. The method varies depending on the child’s personality, so it’s up to the parents to decide whether to provoke them in front of them or to push them on their backs.”

“This would be great know-how for parents with children who are picky eaters.”

“I hope you put it to good use.”

I hope this will ease the suffering of parents who are struggling to somehow feed their children side dishes and meals.
