Although you would think that frozen goods would fall in quality, but salmon used to make tatataki or sushi, was the best eaten frozen. Because while it was frozen, the parasites and eggs in it all died. Jo Minjoon slowly read the window that appeared on top of the salmon.

“……..Good. How much did you pay for it?”
“6 dollars for pound.”
“It’s cheaper than I expected?”
“The owner lady said that she was a fan of Grand Chef. And she also cheered for you and Kaya……”
“No, leave it at that. First, let’s separate what we are going to use in the afternoon and at night. What about the price of the other ingredients?”
“Well, excluding salmon, they are mostly similar.”
Joanne talked like that and shrugged her shoulders. Jo Minjoon looked at the salmon and fell in his thoughts. Yesterday, they bought a pack of smoked salmon and after applying sauce, used it as a filling, but today the story was different. Jo Minjoon looked at the salmon with a serious face. Ivanna gulped and said.
“I want to eat it as tataki.”
“…….I was just thinking about that.”
Precisely speaking, they didn’t want to eat tataki, but cook it like tataki. Because the better the quality of a salmon was, when it was used as tataki or sushi, the flavor got better. But of course, the difference wasn’t that big as you could compare it, but originally, in the tasting world, that small difference decided it all. However Joanne looked puzzled.
“You want to put tataki in the norimaki?”
“If you want to make tataki, then it would be better to go as sushi? Looking at the reactions yesterday, they were disappointed and said that it would have been good if there was some sushi. It wouldn’t be bad to put in a little. Oh, you didn’t buy urchin egg, right?”
“Yesterday was a disaster. I’m honestly surprised that it got all sold out. People’s hands didn’t tend to go that way.”
There was no need to focus on a menu that didn’t do well. You wouldn’t know if you found the fault and improved it, but compared to urchin egg, the recipe of it wasn’t even finished. And most important of all, he wondered how he could improve a recipe which they didn’t even like the urchin egg itself.
The cooking proceeded just like yesterday, with each having their own share. The selling location was in the city. Although Waukegan was a small city that didn’t even have hundred thousand people, they thought that they would be able to profit with the food truck.
“Will people come like yesterday?”
“I think that there would be like yesterday’s night. So we won’t be as busy as to not have time to rest, so don’t feel nervous.”
Jo Minjoon replied like that and got out after opening the back door. It was as he had expected. There were some customers lined up, but it wasn’t as long as the line in Chicago.
He opened the side doors and he went to the counter. The extra rice was already prepared.
“What’s the recommended menu of the chef?”
It was the question of the first customer. The smile that person had seemed to be more interested in Jo Minjoon’s reaction rather than actually the recommended menu. Jo Minjoon smirked and replied.
“If you have a normal sense of taste, I recommend you the pork barbecue. Also, trying the korean norimaki wouldn’t be bad at all.”
“Okay. Give me the two of them.”
Most of the customers had good will towards them. The greater part of them would be fans of Grand Chef, so maybe it was an obvious thing.
But of course, there were people that simply wanted to eat norimaki, but there was also a person they didn’t understand at all. It was that kind of customer they were so worried about and didn’t want them to come.
“This. I want a refund.”
