I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

469 – Perfect Plating

Bread style.

Another name is Gungunria.

At least that’s what it was called in the army.

Both were slang coined in the military, but

A term that is no different from standard language for those who have served in the military.

At one time, a franchise hamburger restaurant attempted to launch it, so most non-users would have heard of it.

‘It’s a military unit… … . It’s a real memory.’

It may vary from person to person, but for me, just hearing the words bread food or gungunria makes me want to drink 250ml of cool milk fresh from the kitchen refrigerator in one go.

To put it mildly, after I was discharged from the military for a while, I was buying hamburgers and I wanted milk instead of cola.

I happened to bring plenty of frozen milk in glass bottles, which was good. If you leave it exposed to the cooking heat, it will melt on its own.

At first, I wanted to make a decent homemade hamburger.

Beef patty full of flavor and juicy.

Fresh onions, lettuce and tomatoes.

Cheese and special sauce that enhance the delicious taste.

And I was thinking of serving it with a carbonated drink.

This was an idea that came to mind after seeing the bread left in the water. But after seeing the frozen ingredients… … .

‘As expected, the only thing that comes to mind is simple bread, right?’

It was like that. The plan has changed drastically.

At first, the goal was a high-quality handmade burger.

But I could never do that.

Because the materials on hand could not keep up with that level.

Because of these practical problems, I was suddenly thinking of the rugged Gungunria.

The meat was also dry because it had been frozen for a long time.

Vegetables available were also limited.

So, I boldly gave up focusing on the main dish and thought of things that could go with the hamburger.

It was unfortunate, but there was no other way.

In order to make a hamburger properly,

Not only did the beef have to be juicy, but the vegetables had to be fresh as well.

Needless to say, the hamburger buns also would have had to be made from new dough. The bread I have now was small in size and didn’t look very good after rolling around in the bag.

A variety of circumstances combined to make it impossible.

Moreover, there was not enough time.

We had to move as quickly as possible.

‘The quality may be low, but if you put it all together, it’s still pretty edible, right?’

When I think of Gungunia, old thoughts pass by.

During my military days, everyone hated jjambap, but

The bread served in the morning was an exception.

Most of them headed to the kitchen without any complaints.

Of course, there were many people who got tired of it after eating it for a while, but I remember that most people ate it without saying anything.

After all, it was a unique and special meal that could only be enjoyed in the military. There is probably no other Jjambap that is as memorable as this one.

Probably most of those who served in the military have thought about wanting to eat it again, if only as a memory, after being discharged from the military.

ㅡSizzling… … !

Bread soaked in butter cooks deliciously on an iron plate.

“Hmm, it’s a bit disappointing that this is far from Gungunia.”

In order to preserve the historical authenticity of Gungunria, the rule is to eat it with bread that has been steamed and moistened.

But I think I’m probably the only one who likes this.

Even though it was wet and soggy bread.

That’s how scary memory correction was.

Still, I can’t make the same mistake as last time.

You shouldn’t use your taste as a standard.

We have to make it so that everyone will like it.

Like the last time with Ganjjajang and Kkanpunggi, it was difficult to have different likes and dislikes.

-Sreuk, tak!

When you turn the bread over, a golden brown cross section is revealed.

“Hmm, it smells good.”

There is a way to eat it more deliciously, so there is no reason to insist on the mushy texture of steaming it.

Cooking in steam is just an unavoidable method for mass distribution. If it is a food that is based on a hamburger, it is best eaten with the patty on a burger bun coated with a fragrant buttery aroma.

‘Okay, that’s enough about the bread…’ … .’

ㅡUgh… !

After putting the baked bread in a corner,

Place the meat dumplings you made earlier.

The processed ham taken from the warehouse is sliced thinly into squares and placed on the iron plate.

And after that… … .

ㅡChijijijijijik!!!

Press the patty firmly with a flat flipper.

So that all sides cook evenly.

It would have been more convenient if I had a tool like a hotteok presser, but given the circumstances, I had to be satisfied with a flipper.

The sphere-shaped meat batter cooks on the iron plate in a wide circle like a pancake.

There was nothing difficult after that.

Be careful not to let the patty stick.

Cook it slowly over medium heat.

Taking care to ensure that the Maillard reaction occurs properly on the outside.

All you had to do was turn the meat over at the right time before it burned.

“But what about bread… … . Was this the end? It feels empty, like something is missing… … ?”

The moment I was about to flip the patty,

Suddenly, a feeling of emptiness passes by.

A feeling that something important has been overlooked.

The unpleasant feeling of missing something that should not have been missed.

I skipped the processed salad with macaroni, but it wasn’t a very important side. All you had to do was replace strawberry or grape jam with the fruit jam provided in the kitchen.

Is the bulgogi patty sauce missing?

No matter what… … .

Isn’t that really that important?

What is missing? I definitely prepared the milk in advance… … .

“… Oh, that’s right!”

When I think of milk, that’s when I think of it.

Something that cannot be left out of bread.

It’s not that big of a deal, but

Still, it would be a shame if it wasn’t there again.

“I definitely saw flour around here… … . Oh, here it is.”

After finding the flour under the shelf,

I quickly took out the patty.

I almost burned the meat and ate it.

-Rattle!

Then I placed the pot on the burner.

To cook Gundria’s licorice.

I immediately put the pot on fire and added butter into it.

‘I would have been in real trouble for almost leaving out this important thing… … . I guess it’s been a while since I was discharged from the military.’

ㅡChii Iik… !

The butter slowly melts in the heat.

There is no need to melt it that much.

It is enough for the bottom of the pot to sink.

And when the butter is completely melted… … .

ㅡChijijik… !

ㅡSizzling sizzling!

Add the leftover meat batter from making patties and stir-fry. Once the color reached caramel color, it was time to move on to the next step.

ㅡSuddenly… !!!

White powder pours inside the pot.

It was none other than the flour we had just found.

Pour in an appropriate amount so that the flour can absorb the liquidized butter.

ㅡSsuk ssuk… … .

Afterwards, stir well over low heat so that the flour containing butter cooks evenly. Until it turns slightly brown.

It is best to cook the flour sufficiently.

Whether it’s fried food, pancakes, or bread.

Otherwise, the smell of flour will remain and you will not be able to eat it.

This was something that had to be taken care of in order to avoid a catastrophe of having to throw it away as soon as it was completed.

“Is it okay if it gets this sticky?”

It doesn’t take long for the butter and flour to become one and form a thick texture.

“Then after this… … .”

ㅡKkilik! Slurp, rippling… … !

Melted milk is poured over it.

Enough to fully submerge all contents.

The thick viscosity becomes thin again.

ㅡHowling!

Now, increase the heat to the maximum and boil it until it simmers. Stir constantly to prevent the flour from sticking to the bottom and burning.

ㅡBubble bubble bubble… … !

Soon, bubbles begin to boil, accompanied by a fragrant smell.

It’s almost done now.

Add cheese to add flavor,

Season with salt and pepper and you’re done.

ㅡChideokchideok… !

When I spilled the contents with a spoon,

If it’s not too watery, it’s cooked well.

It was like that. What I have made now is none other than beef soup.

This is just my personal opinion, but

If the best bread-based dessert is cold milk,

I think the side kick is this beef soup.

Not only is it delicious to eat with bread dipped in it, but it is also an amazing product that acts as a lubricant when you sometimes get stuffy in your throat.

Anyway, it’s finally finished.

“Is there anyone nearby? Since everyone is fine, could you please bring me a plate to put food on?”

「… Nyororong?”

I looked towards the grocery warehouse and shouted,

A ghost sticks out its head.

Looking at it coming up from the floor, it looks like it came up from underground.

“Oh, White Dragon?”

This guy was Baekryong, who had taken the new recruits with him to organize the food warehouse. Since he had been in charge of the housekeeping in this mansion from the beginning, he probably stepped forward himself rather than sending a new employee.

“Nyorolong-!”

He asks me to wait a moment and disappears beyond the kitchen.

ㅡLegally… !

And not long after, a guy comes carrying a large, rectangular tray(?).

“huh? You can’t believe that… … ?”

“Nyorongrong-?”

The guy reacts as if this isn’t what he wanted and puts down the bowl.

There was another reason why I was surprised to see Baekryong.

“This is a food tray, right? It also looks quite familiar… … ?”

It was literally like that.

Because they brought out something that looked exactly like a military plate.

Of course, the details may be slightly different, but this is enough to bring out the feel of Gungunia.

「Nororong? Nyorong… ?」

“no! This is enough! But what about White Dragon? “Where on earth did this come from?”

「Nyorong? Nyorong, nyorong! Nyorororong~!”

Why are you so surprised by my question?

The guy who answers as if he doesn’t know what’s going on.

According to this ghost, these are the serving plates used by the servants and employees of this mansion in the past.

Well, the size of the mansion was no joke, and the number of people who managed this place must have been no joke either.

Anyway, it went well.

I never thought this perfect vessel existed.

There was no need to separately plate the food.

Because I was able to capture the Gungunia sensibility with just one plate.

ㅡSsuk ssuk… !

Now all you have to do is move the bread onto the plate so it’s easy to eat.

Well-baked bread in the lower left corner.

Conversely, there is beef soup in the lower right corner.

Cabbage salad in the upper left corner.

In the center are two thoroughly cooked mixed patties.

And even sliced ham and cheese.

Lastly, in the upper right corner, strawberry jam was roughly scraped in with a spoon.

It’s finally complete!

‘Anyway, this… … . Like a hamburger, it’s not even assembled, so will the system recognize it?’

… That was the moment I thought to myself,

ㅡTiring!

oh… ? Do you really think they even recognize this?
