God of Cooking Chapter 136:

“Anderson, until when are you planning to act like a child? Grow up please, grow up . ”

‘……It’s not something I would like to hear from someone who dates in the middle of a broadcast . ’ Anderson looked at Kaya with a weird face but he just shut his mouth and turned around . He didn’t want to get caught in the same weird screen as her .

As Anderson didn’t answer back, Kaya put on a proud face thinking that she had won . And Jo minjoon looked at that Kaya and laughed silently . For Anderson, she would be detestable, but in his eyes she was just pretty . Jo Minjoon unconsciously extended his arm and tangled Kaya’s hair . Kaya frowned and glared at him .

“Ah, what is it . Don’t touch my hair . ”
“It was weird . I fixed it for you . ”
“Weird my! Wha, it got disheveled . … . . And he was the one that told me to not keep my hair disheveled . ”

Kaya grumbled and checked her hair . It was certainly a look that was difficult to see in the past . It wasn’t that she didn’t care for her looks, but even so compared to the girls at her age she certainly decorated less . Indeed, why would she keep doing that weird smokey makeup every day? But of course, by now that became her character .

“What if customers wish for you to have your smokey makeup in the kitchen?”
“They won’t even be able to see me in the kitchen anyways . ”
“Nowadays, an open kitchen is the trend . Ah, right . Teacher Rachel, is the main Rose Island an open kitchen?”
“Yes . Daniel wished to see the faces of the customers even while on the kitchen . Eating and enjoying it, and at times complaining, he wanted to see all of that . He dreamt of becoming a chef that didn’t want to only manage the kitchen, but also the hall . ”

He felt that he knew what Rachel was talking about . Jo Minjoon turned to look back at Kaya . Kaya had her back bent and fixing her hair on the reflection of the camera lens and then turned her head .

“……Why?”
“No, I was just curious . Do you like an open kitchen? Or do you prefer not being seen from the hall?”

‘…… . . He always asks her . ’ Anderson grumbled inwardly . If they were still broadcasting, the chat would probably say this . [Are they wondering what kind of restaurant they should make together?] . It was when he was trying to erase those words that seemed to be floating in front of his eyes . Kaya thought for a moment and then let out a groan as if it was difficult .

“Mm…… . I don’t know . I think that it would be fun looking at customers eating but, maybe I will get tired of it after looking at them everyday . And I think that it’s also burdensome having all eyes on me . ”
“I think that’s reasonable . Just looking over there……”

Jo Minjoon pointed one side . Kaya saw the direction Jo Minjoon pointed at and then put a stifled expression . On a side of the hall, an open kitchen was showing itself . It wasn’t particularly busy . Most of the chefs were on their places, and only the people who seemed to be the juniors were moving busily here and there and giving them ingredients .

If I get to stand on that place…… Honestly speaking, I would be able to endure one or two times but I think that the mental exhaustion would be great . There weren’t many customers looking at them, and most of them just looked at them for a moment and then concentrated again on the food . But even so, the chefs standing on the kitchen could only be wary of the sights that weren’t even on them and get nervous .

Kaya shook her head . Maybe she was really taking treatment, but her waving hair seemed to be that of an egypt princess .

“Oh, I certainly am not fit to be exposed at the sights of people . ”
“There won’t be a day that people won’t look at you . ”
“… . . And you?”

At that moment, Jo Minjoon could only get confused at that short question . If you are also going to keep looking at me, or if you will also have that many sights in you . It seemed simple, but it was actually a problem you couldn’t answer easily .

But fortunately, he didn’t need to answer that question . Alan coughed and opened his mouth .

“Let’s go to the kitchen now . You said you wanted to eat more pasta before, right?”
“Ah, yes . ”
“Actually, I was dying to know what would get the best score, but as it became just like I expected I feel relief and sorrow at the same time . I thought that I had to gain some points with pasta because it is Italy, but if you are a chef you also have the greed to get out of the prejudice of a country . ”
“If making an excellent pasta is a prejudice, then that is a good one . ”
“I know . I was just saying . ”

Alan replied with a soft voice . When he was a judge he always acted strict, so you felt some kind of distance with him . But as you met him as a chef and a customer it became more comfortable as a person .

As they entered the kitchen, a girl chef that had a childish face came running towards Alan and stood in front of him . Alan shook his head . A rough Italian came out of his mouth .

“Berta . Don’t come and stay in your place . I will take care of here . ”
“Ah… . . May I bring you something?”
“Didn’t you listen that I was going to take care of here?”

Alan said with a cold voice . Kaya whispered in Jo Minjoon’s ear . “It makes me remember the old times . ” Jo Minjoon shook his head and said . “I think it’s worse . ” Maybe it was because they were people from his kitchen that his attitude on treating them was fiercer and scarier . But even so the young girl chef didn’t move easily . Was she the same age as Kaya . Berta, that had a dense brown hair, glanced at Kaya . It was when Alan frowned . Emily placed her hand on Alan’s shoulder and said .

“It seems like she has something to say to Kaya? Give her some time, Alan . ”
“…… . . Berta . If you have something you want to say, do it quickly and go back . ”
“Ye, yes!”

Berta nodded with a really nervous face . Even if she had almost the same age as Kaya, her spirit was certainly weaker . First, she was half a head shorter than Kaya . Maybe it was because she was shorter than Chloe . She trembling seemed to be just like a bunny . She opened her mouth . Her english wasn’t that fluent, but there was no problem on understanding her .

“I also, uh……just graduated from secondary school . Although I don’t have a talent that’s as amazing as yours, uh… . . even so, I want to become like you . You are my…… you know . Ah, role model . You are my role model . ”
“……Uh, thanks . ”
“You two suit each other well! Excuse me . ”

Berta looked at Jo Minjoon and Kaya and after speaking like that she escaped to the kitchen as if she was embarrassed . Jo Minjoon and Kaya looked at each other with awkward smiles . Kaya opened her mouth .

“If it was a live broadcast they would have teased us again, right?”
“Even if it isn’t, in the end we will still get teased when it gets broadcasted . Martin . Are you going to edit this?”
“I have to . ”

At the unexpected answer, Jo Minjoon opened his eyes roundly and looked at him . Martin soon said with a simmering smile .

“With more impact . ”
“See . He’s like that . ”
“……That slave for viewers . ”
“My bonus depends on the number of viewers . ”
“Martin always said that he felt grateful that thanks to us the number of viewers increased . If you received a bonus with those viewers, why don’t you buy us something delicious?”
“Martin always said that he felt grateful since the number of viewers increased because of us . ”
“Aren’t I buying you now?”
“……You are buying this with the production fees!”

Martin didn’t answer and just feigned ignorance . Jo Minjoon patted Kaya’s shoulders and said .

“Don’t throw a tantrum . If I think you became an adult, you act like a child and vice versa . Why are you like this?”
“Girls have times when they want to become kids . And times when they want to be adults . ”
“You are also going to act as a woman in front of Martin?”
“Why? You want me to only do it to you?”

At that moment, Jo Minjoon got at a loss for words . It seems like Kaya also knew that the level of what she said was quite high . Jo Minjoon turned his head, and Kaya also flushed and just looked at the floor . Alan, that just finished the pasta, saw them and nodded as if he understood .

“It seems like they filmed a movie once again . What’s the genre?”
“I wonder . Passionate melo?”
“I hope for the day they film an action movie . ”
“You don’t know . They may film an adult drama first . ”

Emily smiled brightly and said . Jo Minjoon thought that Emily felt better than usual . But of course, she always had a clear temperament, but today it was even more . ‘Is it because of Alan?’ He couldn’t help but think like that . Because every time she looked at Alan, Emily forced to put on a prettier smile than usual . Jo Minjoon said .

“Sera . Doesn’t Emily seem happier than usual?”
“Uh……Ah, certainly seems so . What would be the reason?”

Sera put on a confused face for a moment and then said while laughing as if she noticed Jo Minjoon’s look . Emily flushed . Alan served the pasta on a dish as if he was pretending not to care the words of Sera .

“It’s the ideal al dente state Italian residents think of . It will be more delicious than what you ate on the table . Because I made it myself . ”
“…… . Alan . Do you know that your image from Grand Chef crumbled quite a lot?”
“Because this isn’t Grand Chef . ”

As Kaya spoke as she couldn’t get accustomed, Alan replied with a calm voice . Jo Minjoon chose to put the pasta on his mouth rather than pay attention to their conversation . Normally, if it was the same dish, even if you ate it after some weeks you had to feel less moved .

But amazingly enough, he didn’t feel that at all . Although oil pasta was originally a dish you didn’t get tired of, was it because of the charm only 10-point dishes had? However much he ate, the deliciousness of the noodles didn’t lessen at all . As even Rachel and Jeremy were just eating the pasta like that, how would the flavor be . Rachel smiled with a proud face .

“Alan . You grew a lot . And you also found a really good noodle maker . ”
“Ah, that… . . It’s someone teacher also knows . ”
“Me?”
“Yes . It’s been a while . ”

The answer came from the back of the staff . And the staff also turned to look back as if they were surprised at the sudden voice . An old man with gray hair and trained wrists was looking at Rachel . Rachel, that frowned a bit to take focus, soon said with a surprised voice .

“Alfredo?”
“You also aged quite a bit . ”
“You were living here?”
“I’m the one who should do the questions . The one that retired for 10 years isn’t me, but you . ”
“…… . . That’s also right . ”

The old man wasn’t speaking in Italian but in English, and in a natural english you could find from a native at that . Because of that, there were no problems listening to their conversation . Obviously, eyes filled with doubts were directed at her, and Rachel turned back to those sights and spoke with a voice that was wet in memories .
The old man wasn’t speaking in Italian but in English, in a way a native speaker would speak English .

“Alfredo is the noodle maker that provided us with pasta when we first opened a restaurant in Venice . ”
“And the noodle you are eating right now was also made by me . ”

Alfredo spoke with a voice filled with confidence . Jo Minjoon looked at the old man with a surprised look .

[Alfredo Argento . ]
Cooking Level : 6
Baking Level : 6
Tasting Level : 8
Decoration Level : 4

The levels weren’t that amazing for making noodles . But of course, making noodles was also a technique that couldn’t be measured with cooking or baking . Jo Minjoon looked at Alan .

“Alan, may I be able to look at the uncooked state of the pasta?”
“Ah, it’s here . ”

Alan immediately took out some pasta in the cupboard . Jo Minjoon just looked at that linguine . There was the aroma of the linguine on the side of it, and the texture of it was also quite soft . The cooking score was 7 . Just the noodle itself, that wasn’t anything had 7 points . Jo Minjoon knew really well what meaning that had .

Jo Minjoon ate on the noodle without any hesitation . And at that moment, Alan smirked and said to Alfredo .

“Be careful . That friend got famous for having an absolute sense of taste . Perhaps, he may grasp of the know hows of Mr . Alfredo . ”
“Huhu, my life isn’t that light to be able to be grasped in just a few bites . They are noodles I have put my entire life on . I made it by checking the temperature, humidity, the temperature of my own body and salt . Even if his taste is sensitive, he won’t be able to read off that hard work . ”

Alfredo was confident . Jo Minjoon, that just gulped down the noodle without any words, slightly rolled his eyes . And at the end of it he saw a familiar window .

[You have grasped the noodle(linguine) making recipe of Alfredo!]
