Chapter - 134 134. Conger Bread Ghosts (4)

Ring ring~ Ring ring~

Around 11 a.m., not long after the restaurant opened.

The phone next to Yumi, who was cooking with Haru, rang coolly.

"Yes, it's a table heaven!"

Yes, yes. There are 5 of us. I'd like to make a reservation for lunch today. I think I'll be there around 11:30. What is today's menu by any chance?

"Today's heaven meal is handmade dumpling soup and squid sashimi."

Handmade? So you made it yourself at the restaurant?

"Of course. The boss is making it next to me.”

Wow, awesome. We'll be there then! Nice to meet you!

That's how the phone was cut off.

Yumi literally asked Haru, who was making dumplings by himself on the side of the kitchen floor.

"Is it a reservation?"

"I have a reservation for five at 11:30. They really liked it when I said handmade dumpling soup. You said you didn't expect it to be handmade.

"Well, I didn't know I was making dumplings.”

There was no big story or reason why today's menu of table heaven was suddenly decided as dumpling soup.

It was thanks to a ghost of a grandfather who visited the table every day, who suddenly applied for a menu, saying he wanted to eat handmade dumplings.

She even told me that she remembered her mother's recipe.

And it was better than Haru or Hanseok thought...…. What happened?

"The people who made the reservation must be the people who work around here? "Seeing that you gave it to me in a hurry."

Starting with Deputy Kim, the store literally burst out at lunchtime thanks to the spread of information that the table heaven was a hidden restaurant around here.

Thanks to him, I had to move busily for a day, but I didn't feel bad because the business was getting better day by day.

"Slowly."

Snap, snap, snap!

The reserved guests put the ttukbaegi on the fire in advance in time to come.

There was a big butcher in the market in front of the restaurant.

He boiled beef bone every early morning with the leftover beef bone.

One day, I liked to make dumpling soup based on beef bone, so I ran to the restaurant at dawn and carried the beef bone on my back.

Flop flop!

Pour enough beef bone broth into the earthen pot and put six handmade dumplings.

Three pieces of meat and three pieces of kimchi.

When the dumplings are about 80% cooked, season them with salted shrimp and salt, and simply cut green onions.

Although the ingredients are simple, it is a recipe that can enhance the taste of dumplings and beef bone broth the most.

Cheer up!

When I thought the cooking was almost done, the reserved guests came in just in time.

All five were women in their mid to late 20s to early 30s.

Everyone had their name tags on their chests that they were counselors at a certain company. It was probably the people who did the telephone consultation.

Yumi led the people to their seats and brought out spoons, chopsticks, and cool water.

Those sitting down looked through the entire restaurant and glanced at the kitchen.

"Wow, that's a real homemade dumpling. I heard the menu changes every day here. The boss is very sincere."

"I know. Doesn't it smell really good? It looks like beef bone. It's very savory."

"I know. I'm glad I made it this far!"

People who are already satisfied.

By the way, Haru knew that the company on that name tag must have been a little far from the table heaven.I asked him how he got here, and he took a taxi.

"We only have 45 minutes for lunch. But today, I wanted to eat something delicious. My friend told me that the heaven here is delicious. That's why I took a cab."

"Lunch time is 45 minutes? Then if you think about the taxi time, you'll have to slurp it in almost 30 minutes. Are you sure you don't mind?”

"Hey, it's okay. It's okay. Everyone who works at the call center needs to get permission to go to the bathroom. 45 minutes of lunch time is very generous.”

I can't believe you took that precious time and even took a taxi. To be honest, I really appreciate it.

Haru and Yumi served a table of boiled dumpling soup.

Beef bone soup boiled in an earthen pot and freshly cooked black rice.

Squid sashimi, red pepper paste made by Haru, and other side dishes such as kimchi and pickles.

Of course, I didn't forget to fry eggs as a service.

"Wow!"

"The visuals are crazy. Awesome!"

People who really like it and rush in and take pictures.

The day came soon after I was about to advise that dumplings might get soggy if I don't eat quickly.

If you blow it, it's good.

Thinking so, it took someone a day to look at the kitchen.

"Huh? Him."

There was a woman in the corner of the table.

A person who just sits and eats silently, whether other coworkers take pictures or not.

He didn't look so old, but his face was somewhat muddy.

Besides, he didn't seem to get along with his colleagues.

Sure enough. Taking pictures around, a slightly older female employee began to stare at her.

"Hey, it's Nara. You know I like meat dumplings, right?”

“…….”

Her name, which was muddy, must have been Nara.

When the country gave no answer, the female employee who soon spoke to her brought a spoon to her earthen pot.

"How many meat dumplings do you take? You don't even eat well anyway. It's okay, right?"

Then, he might take two big meat dumplings.

Haru and Yumi, who doubted their eyes for a moment, but the other employees were already giggling as if they were used to it.

"Wow, what's that? It's not like a middle school student is bullying me. That's so childish. How can grown up people.”

"Yumi, then you'll stop by."

The daily guess that a female employee named Nara seemed to be alienated from her job seemed to be somewhat correct.

The petty harassment of other employees continued until the end of the meal.

It is basic to talk without completely leaving out the country or not to give attention, and he even skipped squid or dumplings while tapping with his shoulder.

They were so childish that they could hardly be considered normal adults, but the country just stood still.

There was one on her side though.

"Nara, eat one of my dumplings. I'm on a diet these days.”

"……thank you, sister."

A short-haired, slightly larger woman sat next to Nara.

I applied mascara thickly and put on thick makeup. On the face of it, he looked a little strong.

When she handed over her dumpling to Nara, Nara bowed her head and ate it.

Take dumplings with a plate, cut them in half, sprinkle a few spoons of soup on the inside, and put a piece of kimchi in the mouth.It was delicious. It was light because it was handmade and it was savory.

On top of that, spicy and fresh kimchi balanced it so that it wasn't greasy, so it was really good.

"What? I think you got a bad call earlier. How was it?"

"It wasn't all right. I don't think they used the manual to assemble it with force and broke it with force. I told you to pay for it...…, I managed to coax you, I thought I was going to die. You've been swearing for 40 minutes."

"Oh, it's a lot of course. Especially you."

"Thank you every time. Hyejin.

I think the name of the senior who helped the country is Hyejin.

Still, the country, which was completely away from other people, seemed to be a little breathless, perhaps thanks to Hye-jin's opening of her tongue.

It's been a long time since the day started to do business in the table heaven so far.

Sometimes, I think my ears and eyes are open. Sometimes, I can hear what the customers are saying.

"A call center would be very difficult. I don't know why he's bothering me so much. Well, there's a reason we don't know."

"I hate people like that. I don't know about Haru, but I've really experienced it. At the family restaurant where I worked for a while before, seniors were complaining about the ridiculous reason that I'm young and good at my job. Ugh. That's why I quit for a month."

I don't know if it's because of Haru's finite personality or just because she was lucky, but Yumi seemed to have almost lost her mind in bullying at work.

Looking at the five call center employees, Choi Han-seok clicked his tongue.

But I really don't understand. Why would he bring me here by taxi if he was going to be like that? They just come out and eat separately.

Come to think of it, it was like that again.

If they're going to hate it like that, they'd feel more comfortable eating it by themselves.

But one day, I found out the reason not long after.

"Oh, I'm leaving first."

"Thank you for the meal, Nara."

"The three of us will take a taxi first? Don't be late."

The three female employees who quickly finished the meal stood up without looking back.

Then, he goes outside, takes a taxi, and disappears.

Wow, how can a person be like that?

Choi Han-seok, who looks ridiculous.

The rest of the country gasped in vain and took out the card from his wallet with a look of boredom.

I tried to get up as if I was trying to pay, but Hye-jin blocked me.

"Hey, come on. Let's split the bill this time."

"It's okay. Let's just buy it'

"No, if you buy it for me, I'll get sick. Half and half, sit here and let's get out. Oh, my God, those b*tc*. What kind of wealth and honor does he want to live like that?"

Hyejin looks much angrier than the country.

She sat down with her head wrapped around her and took her anger away.

"Hmmm……."

Looking at those two, Haru, who had been agonizing for a while, recalled something and immediately took his hand to the cupboard.

"I bought it for a snack later."

Pour about five bottles of yogurt into the blender for dessert, then take some strawberries out of the refrigerator and cut them in half.

And if you add a lot of ice and grind it well."It'll be quick anyway, so it'll be fine. What?"

Cool, thick yogurt strawberry shake is done in an instant!

You may wonder what it tastes like, but it's a combination that's more delicious than you can imagine. It's simple.

"This is for free. Eat while you go."

"Yes, yes?"

"Wow, this is a shake. They made it earlier. Can you give it to us?”

He sneaked out two finished shakes to two people who came to pay with a look of annoyance.

If other customers see it, they secretly gave it to them because they could be offended by why they didn't give it to them.

"Listening to what you said earlier, I think you came all the way here by taxi. I just made it because I was thankful. I was going to give it to the people in front of me, but they left before me."

"Kk, really? You're such a sucker!"

"Wow. This is really good. It's totally different from what you buy.”

"As expected, the heavens help us. Big!"

Two people who seem to feel better in an instant after a day's witty comment.

He left the restaurant saying that he would definitely come back.

They each bit a cigarette in their mouth while waiting for a taxi outside the restaurant, but it didn't look bad to have a conversation with a smile.

If a day didn't make a shake, there would be irritation on the face instead of that smile.

Come to think of it, it's not hard to make just one out of the ingredients you have.

Are you a master of business now? You take care of your guests.

"What? I learned it all from the chef. I learned it from Yumi.”

"Huh? Come on...What did I do?"

"Yumi takes good care of each and every guest. I'm learning, too."

"Huh. Thank you. Boss!"

Every day was great. From our perspective, it's really nothing. It's not even 1,000 won if it's the original price. From their perspective, the price of meals that they forced to pay tens of thousands won each was so expensive that it was less of a waste.

Choi Han-seok says that creating such value is one of the secrets of a merchant.

That day's business was over without a hitch.

Nara and Hyejin.

I didn't know if the two customers would really visit the restaurant again, but I still thought I wouldn't be able to forget the names for a while.
