47 – Ramzy’s Hell’s Kitchen

“Ram rat? Take a good look. It’s your job to pass the recipe on to the rest of the restaurant ministries.”

“Okay!”

“Then, I’ll tell you by making a small amount to make it easier to explain. Are you ready?”

“Well… ! The memo is also ready!”

A cheering sound is heard from the restaurant’s storage room.

A ram rat holding a quill with burning enthusiasm.

A strange light flickers in the guy’s fist-sized eyes.

These were the eyes of someone who wanted to survive in an academy full of absurdities. It ignited the survival instinct.

“Put, it’s nice to see that attitude.”

I like her because her eyes are similar to mine.

“Oh, before that… … . Can I use other ingredients besides the ones here?”

“Of course! All you have to do is make sure to use only the main ingredients!”

“Okay, so let’s start by preparing the ingredients first.”

ㅡ Tak Tak Tak Tak!!!

I took advantage of many years of self-catering experience to trim the ingredients. It’s been a while since I’ve held a knife, so it’s a little awkward.

I wasn’t good at cooking, but

I know how to make basic things.

And among them, stews were the dishes I made the most.

Because you can make a large amount at once, and if you store it well, you can eat it for a long time.

And most of all, I used to make it often because it was a dish that could make a full meal even if I just rolled it up.

Of course, there was a downside that it took a lot of hands to make… … .

ㅡSueug, Tak! abruptly… !

Cut the onion into long slices,

The sausages are nicely cut diagonally.

Square hams are suitable for dicing into bite-sized pieces.

ㅡGee Iik… !

For sausages with coarse particles, remove the casing with a knife and prepare the minced meat as it is.

“Ram rat? Do you know how to handle materials like this?”

“What are you looking at me for? Of course! But what are you making now?”

“Oh, you didn’t tell me. But even if I tell you, will you hear it for the first time? that… Do you know what Budae Jjigae is?”

“army unit… jjik… … ?”

It was. What I’m making right now is Budaejjigae.

It was a dish that came to mind as soon as I saw the sausages.

After all, if you cook soup with sausage, it’s budaejjigae!

And most of all, it was food that could never be tasteless, so I put it into action right away.

“You will know when you eat it later. By the way, ram rat? Do you have red pepper powder or soy sauce?”

“Unfortunately, there is no such thing.”

“Ah, also… … . Is there any substitute for that?”

“Do you need something spicy?”

“right! Where can I find something like that?”

“Wait squirrel! I’ll find you soon.”

Ram rat nodded with a trustworthy face. The boy quickly moved his body.

ㅡTadat, Sabak, Sabak… !

A guy who climbs up a shelf in a warehouse with light movements. Then, he digs through the shelves and searches for seasonings.

‘Oh my gosh… … . Is it okay to have such a big mouse roaming around in the restaurant storage room?’

The more you look at it, the more amazing the scenery of the restaurant.

It certainly wasn’t a pretty sight.

If anyone else saw it, I would be really stunned.

Okay, let’s even trim the ingredients.

If I keep looking at it, I think I’ll only hurt my stomach.

ㅡ Tak-tak-tak-tak-tak… !

I prepared the rest of the ingredients while Ramji brought the seasoning by air.

Garlic, finely minced

The green onion was cut into thick slices.

And to enhance the flavor of the soup… … .

“yes? Aren’t you?”

Oh, but something was missing.

There is no need for the most important ingredient.

If you have kimchi, the savory taste is added, so it’s perfect… … .

‘You’ll never be able to find kimchi, right?’

Too bad, you can’t soak it yourself.

Unfortunately, I have no choice but to replace it with cabbage.

At least it can replace the crunchy texture.

ㅡSuddenly! Awesome!

Cabbage was cut into large chunks, just like tteokbokki.

All materials are now finished.

If you just make the seasoning, you’re really ready.

Beat all the stew, boil it, and you’re done.

ㅡTuk!

A ram rat appears at just the right time.

He heard something in his hands.

One was a red powder, the other a black liquid.

“Here, chili powder and soy sauce made with paprika. Is this okay?”

“Oh, that’s fine. Give it to me.”

ㅡ Squeeze!

ㅡWheejeokwheejeok!

I immediately mixed them together.

About 5 tablespoons at a 1:1 ratio.

And I added a little bit of expensive pepper.

‘Here’s red pepper paste or soybean paste… It would have been more perfect if I had cooking wine.’

I was worried because it was a fairly modest seasoning,

I was sure I could imitate it.

Let’s not expect too much from the beginning.

After all, the goal was to complete ‘edible’ food.

“Okay, this is enough.”

“Eh? already over? What dish is this-?!”

“I know when I see it. Just grab the ingredients and follow me.”

I immediately got out of the storage room and stood in front of the kitchen counter.

ㅡ Tak! Roaring… !

Then, he lit the magic stone stove and put a pot the size of his face on it.

“Ramjwi, look closely. This is by no means a difficult dish. You can easily follow along.”

ㅡWarrr !

ㅡ Squeeze!

“Eh?! What the f*ck are you doing right now?! Putting ingredients into water… ?!!”

It was as Ramju said. I beat the previously trimmed ingredients at once.

It never bothered me. Budaejjigae is delicious even if you boil it all at once.

Originally, it was the origin of budaejjigae that leftover ingredients from military bases were randomly beaten and boiled. … .

“Oh, I have to put this one up too.”

I placed the uncased sausages and canned beans lightly on top of the pours. I added it in the hope that it would taste like baked beans.

And at the end, I sprinkled the seasoning sauce I just made.

Now you just have to wait for it to boil. But it’s not a waste of time to just die and wait… … .

“Ram rat? All you have to do now is boil it like this. By the way, didn’t you say that tomorrow’s lunch is grilled whole chicken?”

“No, that’s right… ! Why are you asking that?”

“If possible, instead of roasting whole chicken tomorrow, try frying it in oil like before. That would be much more responsive.”

“Fry raw chicken in oil… ?”

I decided to give Ramju some advice in my spare time. I wanted to tell something more about the eyes of a guy desperate to live.

“okay. You always burn because you can’t control the fire. Fry it in oil for that matter. Do you remember the color I picked up the biscuits earlier?”

“Well… ! It was the color of caramel!”

“I remember it well. You can fry the chicken at the same temperature and get it right away when the color comes out.”

“Oh oh… ! I will note! But why are you telling me that?”

“Why? I worked so hard to prepare dinner, but wouldn’t it be a pity if I made a mistake at lunch and couldn’t even cook?”

“Well, that’s it… … .”

“Oh, and by any chance, the water the chicken boiled earlier in the evening. Are you still there?”

“Take? I’ll clean it up later and throw it away. Why do you ask that again?”

“Good! Don’t throw away that precious thing and leave it!”

“Yeah, why is that? Why is that water so precious?”

“If you use it as broth for the budae-jjigae you are boiling, the taste will be much deeper.”

“Stick… ?! That way, I’ve never heard of it… !”

Maybe you don’t even know what broth is?

With this ability, I managed to endure until now.

girls… Maybe you’re more of an angel than you think?

“Then listen more. Keep the chicken stock in a cool place, and oil will probably float on it by tomorrow. Of course, you can remove it all with a ladle. and… … .”

While the stew was boiling, I was consulting with Ramji. Like a restaurant entrepreneur who visited an alley restaurant that was all ruined.

Cooking wasn’t my specialty,

I just wanted to make sure I could help.

Isn’t he also in the same situation as me?

—-Swipe, snip… !

Ramji immediately wrote down my words.

First of all, a desperate attitude is a pass.

But what I am telling you now is just an improvisation.

It is your responsibility to continuously satisfy the ladies.

‘By the way, what will happen if the ram rat is really cut off?’

While giving advice to Ramji, a question suddenly crossed my mind. Could it be that they assigned me to the kitchen again because of the lack of workers?

ㅡOh so so so… !

I get chills all over my body at this thought.

It’s not just girls,

Should faculty and professors be recruited as well?

No matter how young the girls were, there would be limits to being directly involved in the academy’s administrative procedures.

“Ram rat? When the time comes, I’ll stop by the kitchen once in a while.”

“Is that true?”

“Yeah, even if you can’t cook like this every time, I’ll give you a tip like now.”

“Why is it so suddenly… … ?”

“There is such a thing. I don’t think it would be possible without you.”

“Oh, I’m impressed… ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

“What is this? If you’re still grateful… … . Can I use the kitchen storage and kitchen utensils whenever I stop by like this from now on? Are you fine?”

Nothing is free in this world.

It was there to help me live, but

I think it will pay off only if we get this level of cooperation.

“That’s it! Breeder anyway? Now it’s slowly boiling… !!”

ㅡ bubbling bubbling… !

Sometimes the pot boils over.

The red color comes out pretty well.

A sharp smell that I haven’t smelled in a long time.

Although a little exotic, the flavor stimulates the nose and salivary glands. It’s perfect if you have ramen noodles here… … .

“Ram rat? Do you have any cheese left?”

“Cheese? In the warehouse, of course.”

“Could you cut me a thin slice? Not the one you secretly ate.”

“Ah, I see!”

After all, the finishing touch of budaejjigae is cheese.

Could ramen be replaced with pasta?

But it’s amazing.

Although there are some regrets, I somehow managed to make something similar to Budaejjigae.

“Should we start by looking at how it tastes?”

I stirred the stew with a ladle and scooped up the red soup.

“Hmmm, it smells good.”

And it was the moment I was about to see the liver.

“Jijijijigi———?!”

Suddenly, the screams of the ramswitch are heard.

It was exactly the squeak of a mouse.

It really can’t be a dirty sound.

‘Anna, the taste of the food is bad.’

A ramrat that has been quietly squeaking since earlier. This time, I have to give you advice so that you can understand it properly.

“Ram rat! If you don’t break that squeak habit, the ladies might squeak your body apart—”

“How-wah-? I came to see what it smelled like last night. What are you guys doing?”

“… … ?!”

A cheerful voice suddenly interrupted my words.

So I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

Because a familiar face was standing in front of me.

It also appeared out of nowhere, so I was surprised and almost missed the ladle.

“What are you doing now~? yes?”

“Ah? What is the lady doing here… … ?”
