chapter 518
518 – Side Story) Strong Enemy
ㅡSizzling sizzling!
Various fried foods jump into golden oil.
Cheese, flavored potatoes, shrimp, and even fried squid.
A larger amount than you might think is cooked in the same oil at once.
Just looking at it is enough to make you feel sick.
This alone was almost enough for 2-3 people.
The pork cutlet was still about to be fried.
It was a situation where the saying that my belly button was bigger than my stomach was exactly right. The time it took to prepare the side fries was not easy.
These were all frozen products.
Because it was just a side.
However, it wasn’t like he was just a bridesmaid.
In fact, he was someone who should not be left out of the challenge. Because it was one of the most important gateways that increased the difficulty of clearing the challenge.
‘Hehehe, it’s fried well today too.’
ㅡHearing… ! Taltaltal!
The manager takes out the golden brown fries with a satisfied smile.
Golden oil drips from the fries caught in a sieve and emits pure white steam.
“I hope there is no food left for today. The prize is a prize, but I don’t feel good when the fried food I made with care turns into food waste… … ?”
The owner of Dunjinda Tonkatsu mutters meaningfully.
ㅡCharrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl … !!!
At the same time, low-temperature aged pork cutlet is added to the oil. Also, three pieces of pork cutlet the size of your face.
If nothing else, the store manager was sincere in his love for pork cutlet. As expected, he had a sense of duty and prepared pork cutlets by hand every morning.
‘It’s absurd to offer a prize to a customer who leaves behind food filled with sincerity… ! I’m looking forward to seeing what this guest will be like. I wonder if they will recognize the value of my special pork cutlet that I developed after years of research… … !’
ㅡChanhak… … !
As time passes, the pork cutlet is also saved.
When I went in, it looked like pure white puff, but
The pork cutlet, which was well-fried in oil for the appropriate amount of time, had an almost golden color.
“Hehehe, since you are a guest from far away, I will save you time for cutting.”
-Square! square!
The blade roughly cuts into the batter.
At the same time, a crisp cutting sound is heard.
Just listening to it makes my mouth water.
A cross section of pure white pork cutlet is revealed along with the hazy seaweed.
1.5cm thick pork loin.
The pork cutlet meat was never thin.
Thin layers of meat are layered to form a moist layer.
‘good. The pork cutlet was also perfectly cooked. Now, after setting them in order, just add the sauce… … !’
-Rattle!
A bowl the size of an adult man’s torso is served with various fried foods, pork cutlet, and two servings of rice, one after another.
And what follows… … .
ㅡRumbling… … !
A sauce that is red or even black is poured on top. Not only with pork cutlet, but also with side fries and white rice.
It’s green and sticky, like lava slowly swallowing everything on the ground.
This red sauce was the key to the challenge.
Sauce with added Cheongyang pepper and capsaicin.
Something red and thicker than magma is poured onto the plate.
The sauce was actually nothing special.
Because it was a product that maximized the spiciness.
It was made by adding extra spiciness to the commercially available Buldak sauce.
ㅡPatter… !
Lastly, a small amount of chives are placed on top of the pork cutlet instead of parsley. By adding green color to the bright red pork cutlet, visual ventilation was attempted.
“Hehehe… … . The jumbo nuclear bomb set you ordered has arrived. And this is an opening service.”
The store manager sets down the completed jumbo nuclear bomb set in front of Leylin and gives her a peach-flavored cool piece and a carton of milk.
He had a gigantic face. Like a demon king who appeared leading a huge army of demon kings.
“How wow… ?! Yeah, yeah! “It was this smell!”
Either way, Leylin didn’t care at all. He made a peculiar noise and focused only on the food in front of him.
Color spreads across her face.
I could tell that just by smell.
This means that it is food that satisfies one’s taste buds.
“Kukuk, at first the others were as confident as customers. Still, please don’t push yourself too hard… … .”
“Eh? What is the crowd? Uncle, don’t be too pushy and do business. They make a lot of food like this and even give you money… … . “Aren’t you too kind?”
“… Huh! “That remains to be seen.”
“Hehe, anyway, don’t worry! “I’ll do my best to eat you up!”
A tense war of nerves ensues between the two.
Regardless of offense or defense, everyone was confident.
No one had any doubts about their victory.
“… Gulp! “Then, can I eat now?!”
Leylin swallows her saliva and cannot take her eyes off the pork cutlet. She was ready to jump into the pork cutlet at any moment.
Fork in right hand.
A large-capacity spoon is in the left hand.
Leylin was fully prepared from a while ago.
“Leylin? “Just wait a moment.”
“Eh? why… … !?”
“president? “Can we measure the time ourselves?”
“yes. Please record it with your phone. Since you have some free time, I will watch from the side.”
“Then just wait a moment.”
Seong Ji-hoon takes out his phone and sets a timer for 20 minutes.
“Kamang ah… ? “How long do I have to wait?”
Raylin can’t hold back any more and is drooling. She looked no different from a large dog that had been placed in front of food and heard the command ‘Wait!’
“You mean you shouldn’t eat with food in front of you? This is torture… … . The fries are getting soggy and cooling in real time… … .”
“Senior Cha-am too… … . “It won’t get soggy for just a moment!”
Derke, who was sitting across from me, just shook his head with an expression that said he couldn’t stop him.
“Okay, that’s enough. “It’s okay to eat on the count of three!”
“Yep-! I understand, so hurry… !”
“Okay then, three! two! one… … !”
-Beep!
As soon as Seong Ji-hoon presses the button on the timer, Raylin moves her hand quickly.
ㅡCow!
ㅡWow wow… … !
At the same time, Raylin picks up the side fries with a fork and begins to eat them.
‘Hehehe… … . As expected, the initial momentum was good, but this turned out to be really disappointing.’
The store manager, who was watching this, rubs his chin.
Because I expected it to be the same as other guests.
As expected, other challengers were also in good spirits in the beginning.
This was especially true for customers who were confident in eating spicy food. Most of them are naturally spicy people who cannot perceive spicy taste well.
‘… However, the jumbo nuclear bomb set I came up with is not something you can attack simply by being good at eating spicy food. That’s more than enough for 6 people? There is no way a woman could eat that much food by herself! cancer! ‘Of course-!’
The store manager quietly closes his eyes and thinks.
It was just as he had thought to himself.
If crazy spicy taste is the first barrier,
The amount that made my stomach rip open could be said to be the final hurdle.
To be recognized, you have to eat not only the fried side dishes but also the rice on the bowl.
‘Hmm, soon you’ll be screaming defeat, saying it’s spicy or full. this this… … . Should I call an ambulance in advance?’
He calmly waited for Leylin’s reaction, as if the outcome was obvious even without looking. As if it was obvious even without looking, he still had his eyes closed.
But contrary to his expectations… … .
“How wow..?! It tastes much hotter than you thought, right? Plus, it’s so warm, probably because it’s freshly fried!”
“… hmm? It’s not hot, it’s warm… … ?”
He didn’t get the response he expected.
Rather, the opposite reaction emerges.
Instead of shouting that it’s spicy and hot, you’ll hear compliments that it’s delicious and warm(?).
If it were an ordinary person, the roof of my mouth would have already been burned and in pain.
‘Oh, crazy-!? In the blink of an eye, a pork cutlet is gone, right? Plus, I’m eating it without breaking a sweat… … ?!?!’
ㅡWow! Wasasak… !
It was like that. Leylin was fully enjoying this moment.
I was devouring the nuclear bomb-flavored pork cutlet without being pressed for time.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had such crispy fries. Aside from this, the fried food lying around is pretty good to eat, right~?”
“Hey, I’m just enjoying the taste of a nuclear bomb…” … ?”
“Hmm-♥ Hmm~♬”
Leylin was even humming. It’s been a while since I’ve had a taste this hot.
Moreover, Leylin had been starving since yesterday evening.
“─Ha! “Yum!”
ㅡCrunchy… ! Crunchy… … !!!
Was it because of that?
Eating was much faster than usual.
The fried food that touches your mouth disappears in the blink of an eye.
‘Are you chewing properly? I swallowed it right away without even chewing it a few times… ?! It can’t be because of those sharp teeth… … .’
The store manager was suspicious of Leylin’s shark teeth for a moment, but it was a completely useless suspicion.
That’s right… … .
“Howaa..!? Did I eat it too quickly? You already ate half of it, right? This is a bit disappointing… … ?”
The speed itself was just fast.
In just 5 minutes, half of it was already gone.
To Leylin’s stomach, which still looks thin.
“… “Ugh?”
Ah, it’s still too early to give up…!
There’s still half of it left… … ?
Let’s think positively! It will definitely be an early spurt!
‘Yeah, there’s no way a human would be able to keep up this monstrous pace… … ?’
The store manager tries hard to deny reality.
I believed that I would soon get tired and give up.
He alternately checked the remaining time with Leylin with nervous and anxious eyes.
And how much time has passed?
The timer was just passing 7 minutes.
“There you are! “Do I have to eat all of this, including rice?”
“Oh, of course! You can leave the sauce, but you have to eat all of the rice for it to be credited, so if you’re planning on leaving it, give up now—!”
“Eh? What are you talking about? “I like the sauce and want to mix it with rice.”
“Yeah… … ?”
“But is rice added here?”
“Bah, add rice…” … ?”
“Yeah~! “After finishing all the fried food, can I ask for two more bowls of rice to mix with the sauce for dessert?”
“Ahahahaha… … ?”
