Chemistry

In a minute.

Jungwoo was standing in front of the countertop dressed as a chef brought by FD. Only eight knives on display beside the cutting board. Pans and pots that don't know why there are so many. I just felt familiar with the e-scale and measuring cup.

‘What am I doing here? ’

The evening plan that I expected was Yoon Yi Seul's house, and I drank soju with the three men there.

After speaking with the PD for a moment, the resident kindly said, placing his hands on Jungwoo's extremely stiff shoulders.

“There's no need to starve. because according to the prescribed method and quantity, I believe that anyone can cook. ”

“Your faith. I think you'll be betrayed a lot today. ”

“It can't be. ”

The proudly declared villager began to choose the first food ingredient next to Jungwoo. He spoke to VJ as if he was taking a close-up.

“With seafood dispensing from the opposing team, we'll have beef skewers with special sauce. ”

The opposite side of the theme of ingredients to reveal the feeling of being a chef stayed stared at.

Mother is picking the ingredients, and Yoon Yi Seol waves her hands slightly.

‘You have to work hard, you don't have to. ’

What a joke of fate. It was unacceptable to intentionally ruin the election, but I also hated losing to Mother and Yoon.

While I was so troubled, my first instructions fell.

“I'm going to do the marinade, Jungwoo. ”

“Marie · ·? What's that?”

“You could say it's underneath the meat. It works better than that. The ingredients are 5 serves · · ·”

2 ounces soy sauce, 1 ounce sesame oil, 20 grams sugar, minced garlic, 7 grams ginger. Hyungnim even said the exact numbers.

Huh?

When the neat command seemed to be like combining the compounds, Jung moved with ease and divided the ingredients into small glass dishes. Meanwhile, the villager shrugged and cut a piece of beef into a bowl.

“You're quick. Now put it all on the meat. Creature.”

This was also not difficult at all. We looked at the chemical world where the mixed ingredients cover the surface of the beef.

The oil that was mixed on the surface was firmly fixed by mixing the meat's own moisture. Shineol, Ginger Roll and Ginger Beren, which appear to be aromatic molecules of ginger, immediately penetrated and were attacking the scent of beef.

“You're going to use the marinade to keep the juice and get rid of it, right? ”

“You know very well. ”

“I see.”

“Look at that. It's not that hard to cook. ”

I was rather familiar with it because the principle itself was chemistry.

This time, a large sauce pan was placed on the portable stove, wrapped in the marinade and placed in an ice box.

“With a hollandaise base, we'll add oranges for a refreshing sauce. Ingredients · · ·"

I searched and placed the ingredients precisely as if they were enchanted by the gentle instructions of the locals.

18g of red vegetables, 2g of black pepper, and 3oz of vinegar, shaped like shallots' skins, were placed in a pan.

Three ounces of water. ’

Once I had a feeling about the sheep, I didn't even have to weigh them in the bottled water. Once I got used to it, I could do it with my eyes, just like compound mixing.

“Chef, what do we do now? ”

“Have you got it all? ”

“Is there anything else I can do? ”

While the water boiled in the hot sauce pan, only the yolk broke six eggs and straightened them out. And put it next to Jungwoo.

“When the water is almost gone, filter the sieve and put it in this bowl. ”

“Yes.”

The preparation of the sauce was pretending that the hand and foot had just been hit.

“Now keep mixing with the bubbles. Quickly.”

“Like this?"

“Miss Butter · · ·”

While the villagers turned their heads for a moment, Jung cut the butter with his knife.

“About 18 ounces? ”

“Exactly. Did you measure it? ”

“Ah · · · · · · · Yes. ”

"by eye scale. ’

While Jungwoo seared the butter and continued to mix the sauce, Hyundai took out the red orange and skinned it with the smallest of eight knives in a shovel.

While squeezing the juice into the stirring sauce, Hyunmin tilted his head.

“You're cooking faster than I thought. Meat maturation is still five minutes away, but there's nothing to do. Jungwoo, what is it? You're good. ”

“I don't think it's cooking. You put in the juice, 1.5 ounces. ”

“Yes? How did you know? You have a good eye.”

Jungwoo smiled. I kept thinking that the kitchen with a professional chef who cooks only by quantity was similar to the lab.

“You have time to smoke. Jungwoo takes a little break when it gets thicker. ”

Jung, looking at the villager who started setting up the small grill, turns his head to do something about the opposing team.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

Yoon Iseol, who was mixing flour and water for the waves, apologized when he put the dough on the edge of VJ's clothes. He was using the squid thinly by his side.

- We just need to mix it slowly so there's no clumps.

- Yes, Mother.

Yoon Iseol smiles at Hong Ji-suk. Hong Ji Sook was also smiling slightly.

Jung felt weird seeing a good mother.

‘Wool mom · · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

I can't even remember when Hong Ji-sook talked about it like that. When you graduated from college? Almost seven years.I 'm jealous of this feeling.

“Jungwoo. You need to look at the liver there. Salt, pepper, kaienpepper. These three should be mixed appropriately. ”

This time it was not a quantity, but a very subtle mix of quantities to suit your taste.

“Chef, I don't really believe this. The taste of food is very important to the taste of the liver. My fucking tongue. ”

“Trust your gut. In my view, Mr. Jungwoo is talented. Captain must be mistaken. ”

My heart was moved by the constant praise of Hyungnim. I thought he was a good guy, but he's surprisingly nice. I didn't know it felt more like that compared to a blunt mother.

‘It's not like this. ’

Jungwoo opened his eyes and threw his eyes into the microscopic world in the sauce.

A world where yellow drops of oil attract each other. As you sprinkle a little salt on it, the bubble breaks, and a part of it seeps through the bubble like water.

I don't know. I can't really feel it. It's not a chemical. ’

It should be in harmony, so I sprinkled it to look good, then I poured the pepper. And I tasted it with chopsticks.

“Phew.”

“What's the matter? ”

“Ma, Taste · · ·”

Jungwoo looked at the sauce with a shivering look.

“It's delicious. It's fresh and salty, and it's soft. ”

“I told you. This sauce cannot fail. ”

Maybe this is the first successful meal of my life. Jungwoo laughed happily, but he put the aged meat on the cutting board.

“Mr. Jungwoo, cut the onion to the size of a finger. ”

“Yep.”

The Jung, which has been so encouraged, was only a single wave, but I cut it with care. Then Hyun-min cut and shoved the skewers into the beef instead.

That's how the first skewer was completed.

“You're baking now, right? This is exactly what I can't do. ”

“Jungwoo. If you look at the American movies, don't you usually go out and grill meat and have a beer? ”

“Yes.”

“It's not hard at all. Put it in here, close the lid, stay 30 seconds, flip it over, and you're done. ”

A citizen smiling politely, pointing to a grill full of heat.

Jungwoo was amazed. That handsome late thirty was a really attractive man with skills and a loving beginner's consideration.

Thanks to you, I thought cooking was no big deal.

He turned his head to the living room, and he said, "Hey, can you eat that? ’I noticed that I was watching carefully. Even in the boiled soup, the cruel appearance of Mother, who sometimes removed the meat, fell on top of it.

‘All right, let's work hard no matter what wins or loses. ’

As the beef touches the grill growls and ripens, Jung's determination is firmly established.

The first prototype was placed on a small plate, and the sprinkled noodles handed out to Jungwoo.

“Taste it, it's almost done by Jungwoo. ”

The onions, beef and sauce have been cut into pieces.

‘Whoa. ’

I've never been to an expensive restaurant, but it seemed like a luxurious taste that could only be eaten in such a place made me go over the tip of my tongue and stimulate my salivary glands.

“Awesome, tasty. ”

With a confident face, Hyungnim said, "I did it."

Two plates were mounted on the table.

While the five elderly men with chopsticks sat side by side and slowly tasted, Jung woo approached Yoon Iseol who was standing where the camera was not looking.

“Is it worth it? ”

Nod, her moving head fills her eyes with laughter.

“It's the first time I've ever flipped over. ”

“Mr. Lee Seol taught you that? ”

“Yes. That's why I'm a little nervous. ”

Jungwoo looked at the old lady who had just torn up a corner of the seawave. Yoon Lee Seol also turned his head nervous.

- Yummy, yummy.

After Yoon Yi Seol's praising grandmother appeared, I was relieved.

“Jungwoo's mother. It's amazing. You just do what you're told, and it becomes the food that you usually see, right? ”

Yoon Yi Seol blended into the order, and it seemed to have a similar experience to the one who made the fine sauce of the restaurant.

‘Wait, I guess you've been busy helping your mom. ’

When and how the flour was buried on his forehead, Jung took a towel and gave it to Yoon Iseol.

“Why?”

“There's your forehead. It's full of flour. ”

When the white man points at the painted little forehead, she reaches out and wipes her hands in a reflexive manner.

“Oh, what are you doing with all that flour on your hands? ”

“That's right."

After I buried more, I wiped my forehead with a spontaneous towel. Yoon Lee Seol slighted his throat.

“· · Thank you. ”

“That's what managers do. ”

“That's right."

Yoon Lee Seol, who had a red neck, ducked his head away from Jungwoo's gaze.

In the meantime, after finishing the tasting, the elderly chose the food that was delicious for each of them and held the flag in their hands.

“Mr. Lee Seol. I think I got the results. ”

Yoon Lee Seol's eyes trembled.

Hyun-hyun and Hong Ji-sook stand next to the table. The elders raised their flags as soon as Choi PD signalled.

“Huh?"

Jung, who was watching with me, let out a groan. Only five flags with the Mother's last name "Red." It was the defeat of the wise.

- It's all good, but this is what I'm tasting.

- It's a wave in Makgeolli.

- She got a little carried away.

The elderly followed a straightforward comment.

Like Jungwoo, Hyunmin became dumbfounded as if the result was unbelievable, but Hong Ji-suk was just bold.

“Jung-woo! My mother won!”

Yoon Lee Seol cheerfully ran to Hong Ji-suk. Seeing it, Jung felt a sudden, faint battle shame.

As soon as Hong Ji-sook chose the 'Great Structural Forest’ as a second dish, Hyundai immediately declared that he would make 'Daegu Kebab’.

“Jungwoo prepared the marinade. I'll keep working on it. ”

The cod, which had been missed by a spontaneous car in the market, was on the cutting board.

‘Hello. There you are. ’

The cod with one eye separated the head, body, and scales in a shovel with the chef's touch. In the meantime, Jungwoo gathered exactly the materials that Hyungnim called for.

Hyundai, who put the cod on a fan for a long time, was surprised to see the counter in front of Jungwoo.

“Have you weighed them all out yet? ”

“I really liked it. ”

Dozens of ingredients, including cashews, chickpeas and Thai peppers, were lined up side by side on a large plate. The passionate eyes of Jungwoo were captured on VJ's camera.

In 20 minutes.

Two more dishes went up on the screening table.

Jungwoo stood behind and waited for the results, confident that this time would be different.

The kebab, which had a rare sauce called 'Applemango Chutney’ mixed with the raw fish, was also amazed when I ate it earlier. It was a great meal with a combination of spicy, sweet and salty flavors with mint aroma.

- Mmm, tastier than it looks.

I saw a grandfather nodding his head.

“That's enough.”

Yoon Lee Seol smiled as he watched Jung Woo who was enthusiastic with his fists clenched.

- Are you ready for the results?

The elders nod and PD sends a signal. And the flag that came up.

“· · · · · · Why? ”

This time, there were five ‘red'. I looked at the other flag to see if there was only ’red' on that flag, but it was clearly written as' string. ’

- You're the boss of Hong. There's something salty on your mouth.

- The radish is ripe.

- What's with this guy? Why do I taste mint?

Followed by subjective criticism of the elderly who were extremely disgruntled. Jungwoo saw a villager returning halfway through his cooking due to unexpected results.

“Come on, Jungwoo. ”

“Lee, Lee Seol, too. ”

Yoon Lee Seol showed a fighting move and walked to greet Hong Ji-sook.

"Your mother was this good? ’
