The inside of the dressing room was full of white or black chef cook clothes, so I was wondering if it was possible.

For a moment, my mind went blank.

The president said he wanted to taste my food after a long time… uh.

So, you’re asking me to cook.

Leaving the first-class chefs hired to satisfy the taste of the Iron-Blood President, to me.

Wasn’t it called because of something that happened yesterday?

What dish all of a sudden?

“Now do you see why I said I was running out of time? The president eats dinner every day at 21:00. And the current time is 19:37.”

Words that are raised with gold-rimmed glasses. I opened my eyes.

Being confused and unable to move easily, he quickly stepped inside the coordinator device on the wall of the dressing room.

Rather than understanding with the head and the heart, the body moves first. Preparing President Shi-Ho Lee’s dinner was just what he had to do.

No time to question or protest. At that time, I had to start cooking as soon as possible.

What should I do, it’s the private company of the company.

If the president wants to eat the food I made, then of course I have to cook it.

The eyes become sharp, and the brain spins tight. All of a sudden, my mindset changed from the point of view of a chef rather than a bar manager.

I wasn’t a real head chef, but I still have the cooking skills of a chef. Wherever I went, I could brag about how I learned my cooking skills.

And if you think about it from that point of view… .

This is a f**king shit.

Oh my God, you have to be ready and served by 9 o’clock.

You only have 80 minutes to prepare the food.

If you are making food for yourself, 15 minutes rather than 80 would be sufficient, but if the person you are serving is Si-Ho Lee’s Iron-Blood Chairman, the story is different.

You have to prepare the food with perfection.

Courses, plating, and even taste that match the dignity of the person who eats.

1 hour and 20 minutes is a very tight time. To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to be satisfied even if I was given two hours.

I’ve already been away from kitchen work for a week and just practicing cocktails, so I’ve lost my senses a lot.

how do you make a recipe If you follow the recipe used in the restaurant as it is, you will surely fail.

The president’s demanding gastronomy will feel very boring and uncreative.

Standing with such worries, it was after the coordinator device, which displayed various interface notifications on the mirror display, gave me a suit that fit my body perfectly.

The color is black. Without even looking at the luxurious fabrics and shiny buttons, he immediately ran out of the machine and out of the dressing room.

Chief of Staff Jenkinson chokes at the stumbling and jumping around.

“Are there any areas of your body that are uncomfortable?”

“Oh, yes. Because of yesterday.”

every time it’s uncomfortable. I thought I was going to die from muscle pain. Every time I take a step, my thighs pull and tingle.

“If it was yesterday, did you have any injuries?”

“Oh, no. not an injury. Simple muscle pain. It’s just uncomfortable to move.”

The temptation to say that it would be difficult to cook due to a momentary injury crossed my mind, but I gave up.

The opponent in front of him was Chief of Staff Jenkinson, whose blood would not come out even if he stabbed him.

A part of a company, a salaryman, etc., are not generous enough to give them a break just because they are injured.

“That’s good. If the quality of the dishes to serve to the president was lowered due to an injury, there could have been a huge disadvantage in your salary.”

Then yes. This is the black company I know, Siho Lee Corporation.

It’s not a place where an employee gives you sick leave just because you’re injured, it’s a place where you say you’ll get a pay cut if your injury makes your job less efficient. It was such a city and such a company.

And to be surprised or hurt anew, I was already a member of Dusk City and Shiho Lee.

Rather, Dragon’s Rare’s overly friendly atmosphere and high-level company welfare were abnormal.

It feels like waking up from a dream and returning to reality.

“Although it wasn’t ‘real’, it’s only been a week since I quit my job as head chef… Since there are no injuries, I believe that the president’s meal will not be ruined.”

You know best that the excuse that it’s because of muscle pain won’t work in front of the president.

Kay Jenkinson said so and turned her head.

The wall in the direction he is pointing opens and a pure white passage is created.

“That is the kitchen. He said that the space was emptied and filled with ingredients for what you cook today and for the president’s satisfying dinner.”

You can probably find all kinds of ingredients you can find in Dusk City at the Pantry over there.

He added, and gave a final shout to me as I hurried to the kitchen.

“Oh, and.”

“yes?”

“The president said that there are different kinds of food he wants for this meal.”

expression is wrinkled.

are you kidding I have to tell you in advance.

The recipe composition direction is completely different depending on whether or not there is a customer’s need.

The irritability that soared for a moment subsided by the words of the chief of staff that followed.

“You said you wanted to try the food of your hometown. All the ingredients will be ready… . Hmm. You said you would understand what this means.

I don’t know either. If it’s your hometown, wouldn’t it be Shin Dong-kyung? It seems that you haven’t eaten Japanese food lately, so your appetite has returned.”

“… .”

* * *

Occasionally I do it myself ‘I am now a Dusk man.’ Called.

However, that does not mean that they have lost their identity.

Although he uses the surname Nakamura, he hardly speaks Korean recently, so he even speaks to himself in the urban language.

Still, I am Korean, and my hometown was Korea.

I am from Korea.

Of course, this is not the Korea that people here think of.

It is not from Korea, a new mecca of the 22nd century dominated by artificial intelligence, but from the Republic of Korea, a democratic republic of the 21st century.

I come from a completely different world, perhaps a century ago, perhaps the past of this world.

It’s probably a secret that I will hide and carry to my grave for the rest of my life as long as I live here in Dusk City.

Of course, no one knows the secret.

Even if I tell you, who can trust me?

In the middle of the shower, I suddenly did something I don’t know whether it was a time trip or a dimensional shift, and I ended up falling into a cyberpunk city that I didn’t know.

But there are people who know some of the secrets, even if they do not know all the secrets.

Such was the case with Lee Si-ho’s iron-blooded president.

The president knows that I am not Japanese.

He was the one who gave me a fake ID from Neo Tokyo in the first place, and he was the one who gave me the surname Nakamura.

When I first met the president and asked for a job, I was not familiar with this city.

Because I spent so much time in the laboratory, I lacked common sense and didn’t understand the meaning of my hometown in this city.

So I had no choice but to get caught right away.

As soon as the Iron Blooded President saw me speaking, he knew that I wasn’t from Dusk and that my city language wasn’t perfect yet.

And immediately he spoke in other languages.

In Japanese, in Chinese, in Vietnamese, in Thai. in Malay and Indonesian.

After speaking a lot of Asian languages and looking at my reactions, I laughed to my surprise.

The sight of his mouth twitching with no change in his expression seems to be hard to forget for the rest of his life.

That was the first time I saw the President of the Iron Blood show his emotions outwardly. and never saw it again

The president laughed and said.

“It’s fun. It will be worth using.”

In Korean.

Less than a minute after meeting with me, the president recognized my nationality and had finished calculating the gains and losses of accepting me as an employee.

He was such a monster. There is a reason why I fear Lee Shi-ho’s chairman.

Some of my secrets, some of my weaknesses, and some of my Highest Ones who hold tight to my food, clothing, and shelter… Just above all else, the existence itself was different from ordinary people.

The feeling that the species is different.

He is literally a genius born from birth to rule over others.

If you look closely, this kind of person is the owner of Megacorp.

Only such a person can stand at the top of the endless pyramids and ladders of human society.

There is nothing but admiration, surprise, fear and pressure.

And today, I have to serve the food I made to such a president.

It must have been my hometown food.

‘Korean.’

I knew early on that the president enjoys gourmet food and that investing in hotel restaurants is a kind of ‘hobby’.

Even so, I never dreamed that you would be interested in Korean food, which is a world achievement.

Even more so, that he would be so hard on me to ask for it.

I’m tired of everything else because I’ve tried food from all other countries except Korean food.

‘It’s difficult.’

I was embarrassed rather than happy.

There’s no reason to be happy in the first place. It’s not that I’m very patriotic, but in order to generate profits, I said, ‘The reason Megacorp Chairman Shiho Lee tasted Korean food and was impressed. The greatness of K-food!’ It’s not like I can take a video and upload it.

An average cook would be happy when they were ordered to cook their own hometown food, but unfortunately I wasn’t.

To be honest, I’m not very confident.

Lastly, I have never made Korean food or anything similar to it.

It feels like more than a year has passed.

You could have tried it if you tried it when you were working in a restaurant.

Japanese food and Korean food are clearly different, but there are many similarities, and it is possible to imitate Korean food with Japanese ingredients.

There were times when I had the urge to do it again and again, but in the end I never did.

I was busy just learning Japanese food, and above all, the cost of ingredients was too expensive.

A bowl of ordinary rice, a shrimp, and a pound of meat cost hundreds of city dollars.

The materials were not light enough to be used at will, for the personal reason that I wanted to feel the nostalgia of my hometown.

Even if it was used for Japanese food practice, it would be noticeable.

Also, around the time I was working in a restaurant, I realized what it meant to be Korean.

I couldn’t do it even if I was nervous because I was afraid that there would be people who would recognize me.

For that reason, now I am not very familiar with Korean food. Japanese food is more convenient

There are not many recipes that I can remember, and the number of recipes is further reduced if we limit ourselves to only the luxurious types that can be served to Chairman Shiho Lee.

Dishes that take longer than an hour should also be excluded, but there are quite a few dishes that require a long time to taste in Korean food… .

His head was overheated and taut.

The conclusion was not easily reached.

It was extremely difficult to come up with a dish to serve to the president.

While contemplating intensely, I went through the sterilization room and was standing in front of the kitchen station.

As I entered the pantry with reckless footsteps, a smirk came out.

Oh my god, they said all the ingredients would be ready.

what is this… .
