Chapter 956 – [Correlation Between Elementary School, Kidney Opening, and Artificial Intelligence]
Ji-hee’s business happened, but I arrived at the store without any problems after that. There are still two or three hours left until the opening, so prepare in advance and wait.
I swept the front of the store once more and cleaned the inside once more to check the ingredients for today’s menu.
For reference, our restaurant’s menu, which changes every day, is Ttukbaegi Bulgogi.
I was wondering what to do, but since this is the first menu to be introduced outside of the fixed menu, I thought a simple menu would be good. The menu, which is delicious but rare, will eventually become regulars, and I think that should be the case.
So, the menu is Ttukbaegi Bulgogi. The meat was marinated in marinade yesterday, so if you use it today, it’s just seasoned and delicious. Besides, it’s good for lunch and dinner menu.
And if you order the stew menu together and eat it, it’s really……. Great!!!!
“Are you the worst? Wreaths have been delivered. Shall we put them in front of the store?”
“Yes, please leave it there.”
“Please sign here”
There are many wreaths coming from various places, but the first wreath that came was Sihyeok’s from Matchamnae.
A wreath taller than my height was written with congratulations on the opening of the business, Jin Si-hyeok, the president of Matchamnae, and rice cakes.
No, but if the recipient is the president of that company, something feels weird. What kind of situation is this when the president congratulates the opening of the venue?
In addition, wreaths sent by Shion, wreaths sent by Matchamnae’s partners, and wreaths sent from various places arrived. I put the wreaths in front of the shop and decorated them.
And while I’m out, I write today’s menu – Ttukbaegi Bulgogi on the signboard in front of the store. I also wrote something like a 30% discount to commemorate the opening.
Originally, when you open a store, you have to hold a separate bleeding event to gather people. That’s why people who don’t come will come.
Even if they become regulars once they come, there will be people who don’t come and don’t know, so it’s for attracting those people.
“No, the lunch break is 1 hour. Do you eat lunch at a restaurant that takes 15 minutes by car? If you take the time to come and go and eat, you won’t have time to drink coffee.”
“Chief Park, I really guarantee this, the kimchi stew here is amazing. If you try it, you won’t regret it.”
“Kimchi jjigae is sold in front of the company, but it came all the way here… Tsk”
Then there were two men walking towards the store. One was the first familiar customer he had seen yesterday, and the other was a middle-aged man whose hair was beginning to bald, probably his boss.
I greet them as I greet them. Unlike yesterday when I was drunk, I met with a sane mind, so he recognized me at a glance.
“Hello. You came as you said yesterday. But seeing as you’re the first customer today, it must be something related.”
“Ah!!!! Hello boss!!!! Are you running a business right now?”
“Yes, come in. Office workers’ lunch time is precious, so I’ll cook it for you quickly.”
The man and his boss came into the store. A middle-aged man who appears to be a boss looks around the store with a dissatisfied expression.
It was worth it. The store itself is spacious, but there are no table seats, only counter seats. Since there are not that many people who can sit, it may not be a bar with an atmosphere, but it is a deductible factor for a restaurant.
Well, I do have a few seats to enjoy delicious food, but I thought of a restaurant where two or three would run at most.
“Boss, let’s have two kimchi jjigae…… Did you say that the menu changes every day?”
“Yes, today’s menu is Ttukbaegi Bulgogi”
“Then give me one.”
“All right”
After taking my order and giving them water, I started cooking.
Even though it’s like kimchi stew, in Ttukbaegi Bulgogi, the meat is marinated in sauce beforehand, so I take it out and put it in the Ttukbaegi and boil it with other ingredients.
The gas stove in our store has good firepower, so the fire comes up so big that I wonder if the earthenware pot is burning. It wasn’t long before the meat and other ingredients in the earthen pot began to boil.
The ingredients used in Ttukbaegi Bulgogi are not very unique. Oyster mushroom, enoki mushroom, vermicelli, green onion, onion, etc. Just basic ingredients.
Originally, it is difficult to make bulgogi tasteless unless it is really bad thanks to the seasoning, but on the contrary, it is difficult to make it exceptionally delicious. However, this Bulgogi will be very delicious with my secret sauce.
“Ugh, it smells good. I heard it opened today, when did Manager Kim eat it?”
“I went in after a dinner yesterday. Seriously, this place is worth becoming a regular for just the kimchi jjigae.”
“It was a little like that when I only heard it, but it’s no joke because it smells”
By the time the stew was boiling and the bulgogi was almost cold, I served the dishes I ordered. There are few seats, not narrow, so the tables are quite wide, so there is enough space to place several dishes.
“Two kimchi stews and one bulgogi in an earthen pot came out. The bulgogi in an earthen pot comes with a bowl of rice. Would you like to add a bowl of rice separately?”
“Yes, please.”
“No, Assistant Manager Kim. I can’t eat more than two meals, probably because my stomach has shrunk from my age.”
“If the manager can’t eat it, I’ll eat it for you, so just order another one.”
They started eating. Called Kim Dae-ri, a young employee who has already eaten, he poured a few spoonfuls of kimchi stew into the steamed rice, sprinkled it on, and ate it. At the same time, he eats side dishes and eats quickly.
The boss first tasted the kimchi stew soup and showed the same reaction as Deputy Manager Kim, who ate kimchi stew for the first time yesterday.
“Keuooooo!!!!!! The soup is killing!!!!!! No, how does kimchi stew taste like this?!?!”
No words were needed after that. They ate a militant meal to the point of feeling like they were pretending.
“Let’s eat bulgogi together. It’s seasoned well this time.”
“Ah………”
They were so engrossed in kimchi jjigae that they seemed to have forgotten about bulgogi in an earthenware pot.
Kimchi jjigae is delicious, but I also made this bulgogi. Sweet and sour bulgogi seasoning, simmering it, and the noodles and mushrooms seasoned with the seasoning…… The moment you pick it up with chopsticks and eat it, a new horizon of taste opens up.
It is meaningless to argue which is more beautiful between roses and peonies. Therefore, if you compare it with the same kimchi stew, you will only eat my kimchi stew without needing to eat anything else, but if it is a completely different menu, it is natural to eat both together in the end.
Without saying a word, they opened the lid of the second bowl of steamed rice and ate it by pouring bulgogi and seasoning on it with a spoon.
After eating with a few spoonfuls, I switched to kimchi stew, and after eating kimchi stew, I switched to bulgogi again.
This is a virtuous cycle where rice goes indefinitely!!!!! It’s a rice trap that you can’t escape from!!!!!
“The rice is a bit lacking, Manager Kim. I don’t think I can eat all of it. Shall we order one and share half?”
“Yes, that’s right, Chief Park”
“Boss, please give me a side dish and a bowl of rice.”
“Yes, one air meal”
I wonder if my house’s air rice is small, but the size of the bowl is similar to other restaurants, but it’s gobong rice with rice squeezed inside. Even though it should be quite a lot, they have already eaten two and a half portions of rice alone.
They finished their meal only after scraping off the kimchi stew and the bottom of the bulgogi in an earthen pot. However, there is regret in the eyes, but I think I would have eaten more if I had had enough in my stomach.
“Uhh……. I can’t move Assistant Manager Kim. I ate too much, I think I ate too much.”
“Let’s digest it a bit and then go. Boss, two cups of coffee for dessert, please.”
“Yes, two cups of coffee for dessert.”
Among the fixed menus, there is also coffee to drink as a dessert after a meal. The price is 1,000 won per cup. Thinking of vending machine coffee or instant coffee, I think it’s expensive, but the coffee at my house is different from the aroma because it’s coffee that I personally select and blend.
Brew the coffee straight away in the coffee machine. Then slowly and subtly fills the store with the scent of coffee.
“Here’s two cups of coffee for dessert. It’s hot, so take your time.”
“The coffee has a different scent. Where is the coffee?”
“It’s coffee that I personally picked out from the beans. It’s made by mixing different types of coffee, so I can’t call it coffee anywhere else. It’s just my house brand.”
The two slowly digest while drinking coffee. Lunch time is getting closer, but now I’m relaxed, perhaps I want to enjoy the afterglow.
Manager Park asks about this and that while drinking coffee. Since the store opened today, there must be a lot of questions, so I answered sincerely.
“Boss, do you do business in the evening?”
“Yes, I work until 7 o’clock.”
“Oops, the time is ambiguous. I wanted to come back from work later and have kimchi stew and a glass of soju. I won’t be able to come if I don’t leave work.”
“Chief Park, I ate too much. Will this last until dinner?”
“This is something that can be digested quickly if you work hard and move!!! Do you have something to go out in the afternoon anyway? Great!!! Let’s work hard and digest and come back in the evening!!!!”
“Of course I agree, chief.”
For Manager Park, the dissatisfaction he had when he first entered the store had completely disappeared. Right now, I just want to digest it quickly and eat it at our restaurant for dinner.
Then, Assistant Manager Kim asked me if I remembered something.
“By the way, boss, the taste of kimchi stew here seems to be somewhat similar to the taste of instant kimchi stew.”
“No, Assistant Manager Kim. Why are you comparing kimchi stew and instant noodles like this? It’s delicious, but it’s so different from this!!!”
Manager Park scolded Assistant Manager Kim, but I was a little impressed. Instant kimchi jjigae and kimchi jjigae I made, in the end, the source is me, but the result is different, but did you notice that there are similarities?
It seems that the sense of taste is quite sensitive. So I guess I ate deliciously even when I was drunk yesterday.
“Yeah, well. As for the taste, I’m providing the recipe.”
“Yeah?! What?!”
“The instant kimchi stew sold at Matchamnae is the original kimchi stew that I made and sold as an instant version.”
“Is that true?”
“Yes, I’m a friend from the same school as the president of Matchamnae. That’s why I have shares in Matchamnae.”
“You’re the president, not the boss!!!”
It was said as a joke, but it was the truth that came true by chance. Even if you have a share, you would think it was moderate, but who would think that he is actually the chairman with management rights?
While talking about it, the second guest came. This time the female customers were familiar faces.
“Ah!!! Aren’t Eden kindergarten teachers?”
“Yes, hello Eden’s father!!! He said he opened a store this time, so I came to have lunch with the teachers.”
Kindergarten teachers arrived at the end of lunchtime, probably because they missed meal time again to take care of the children. It’s nap time for the kids by now, so I think I left a few teachers to look after the kids.
Well, Eden isn’t that far from kindergarten and here. If you come by car, it’s sooner than you think. This is a good store with convenient transportation
Deputy Manager Kim and Manager Park got up from their seats as people crowded around. Now that the coffee has been emptied and digested, it’s time for them to get back to work.
“Boss, it’s our calculation.”
“Yes, 2 kimchi stew, 1 earthen fire, 2 steamed rice, 2 cups of coffee for dessert, 28,000 won, 30% discount as an opening event, 19,600 won”
“No, boss. Can I sell this kind of food like that and make surplus? This, too, should come in the evening and sell alcohol.”
“It’s good if you come.”
That’s how I sent the first guests to open and the next one came.
Although this side is a little far away, maybe it was because it was an acquaintance side, so the subject of conversation was different. And among them, the first thing that came out was about Eden.
“How is Eden? You must have entered elementary school this time. Is he doing well?”
“Yes, he seems to be a very optimistic kid, so he seems to be going without any problems. Today, he gave me a ride to school on the way to work.”
“Since we were in kindergarten, Eden has not been an ordinary child.”
“That’s right, that’s right. When you grow up later, you should be a celebrity or a model.”
“Would you like to order first? You must be hungry because you couldn’t eat properly while taking care of the children.”
The teachers chose the menu to eat while discussing with each other. There are a total of three teachers, two of whom ordered Ttukbaegi Bulgogi and the other one chose Soybean Paste Stew.
No one ordered kimchi jjigae, but I didn’t write it down on the menu as a signature dish in the first place. Well, it’s a fixed menu anyway, so I’m sure I’ll try it at least once someday. And it’s not like the other menu items are tasteless.
“Eden’s father, please give us two pot bulgogi and one soybean paste stew”
“Yes, two pot bulgogi and one soybean paste stew”
“Boss, is there any crab sauce in soy sauce?”
It’s probably like a teacher who can’t forget the soy sauce crab sauce I gave her before. That’s why even when you come here, you want soy sauce crab.
Honestly, soy sauce crab is delicious. In particular, since I made the soy sauce and the crab sauce I made myself, even the soy sauce is delicious, so even after eating it, you can just mix the soy sauce with the rice.
“Oh, that will come up later. Our restaurant’s motto is to change the menu every day, but there will be a special day for crabs later.”
“Is there any other way to know that?”
“Later, I’ll create an SNS ID and post a planned menu. You can look at it and check the day the crab is served.”
I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like social media because I think it’s a waste of my life, but in this case, I can’t help it. Isn’t it true that you can’t run a website just to run a store?
Of course, if there are too many people in the future and you have to make a reservation, you should, but not yet. In a store that has just opened, such a website does not match like a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck.
So, the menus that will be sold will be posted separately on social media. However, since it is scheduled to be sold, the menu may change depending on the supply of ingredients or circumstances of the day.
Anyway, I started cooking. It’s my first time making soybean paste stew, so I cook with a little care.
I thought about adding marbled grains to the regular menu, soybean paste stew, to make it into a marbled soybean paste stew, but I didn’t. Of course, beef is included, but it is not the marbled part.
Chadolbagi is an oily part, so the taste is strong…….. If you add it, it becomes more delicious because it becomes oily.
In short, it is better to eat a lot of other parts than a few marbled brisket!!!!! To be honest, there are several pieces of chadol in soybean paste stew with chadol!!!!
“Two pot bulgogi and soybean paste stew came out”
“Smells so good, Father Eden”
“Because I have confidence in cooking. That’s why I opened the store like this.”
When the food was served, they ate it. Then each of them took a tableware and started eating.
Then it was the same. He just inhaled rice, side dishes, or stew without saying a word. However, as I said before, the rice in our house is tightly packed, so I thought that one would be enough for an adult woman, but when I ate half of it, I ordered an additional steamed rice.
“Miss Yu, would you like another meal?”
“I think it would be better to order one more and share it. By the way, is the soybean paste stew delicious?”
“It’s so delicious!!!! If I eat this, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to cook soybean paste stew at home!!!!!”
If you eat well, you are satisfied with that.
Few things look as good as a person who eats well. Of course, Eden and Shion, who eat well beyond that, are so good that I can’t stop listening to them.
“Could you give me one more meal?”
“Yes, one air meal”
The side dish was so delicious that it seemed like the rice was going well. Now, we have only received two teams, but if additional orders of rice continue to come in, it seemed that it would be profitable to some extent by raising the price of rice.
But I will never raise the price of air rice.
A bowl of steamed rice costs 1,000 won per bowl!!!!!! If you take more than that, you have no conscience!!!!!!
