Cooking Genius With God

Chapter - 200 198. Time to go beyond midnight (1)



Bburing bburing chicken.

Anyone who has eaten chicken can't be unaware of its existence.

Like the name Bburing Bburing, it's a chicken with a lot of powder called Bburing Bburing Seasoning on top of fried chicken, and it's very salty and sweet with the scent of vegetables and cheese...…. I couldn't say a word.

It was a combination of sweet cheese powder and fried chicken, so few people would hate it.

The word sensation has become a huge sensation, creating a sensation that is very popular.

The reason is simple. Because it's really famous.

Some are known to people simply because they are delicious, and others have hit advertisements like crazy on TV or other media.

I'm not sure if he intended to push this one, but he put a big chicken advertisement on the expensive subway in Seoul.

Of course, at Youngjun's Chicken, not YMCA.

"That's what everyone knows. Who made this chicken? Let's say 8 out of 10 are Youngjun's chicken.”

"That's... that's what I thought. It's just that I'm advertising it on TV. I'm sorry about something."

"Me, too. I never imagined it. I can't believe there was any aid.”

"That's all right, you don't have to apologize. What's wrong with consumers who simply buy chicken? It's chicken that I order with a light heart. It's weird to care about the original every time you buy it.”

"That's true again."

Haru and Yumi, who became sorry for something, apologized, but Yoo Seong-bok, president of the company, strongly dissuaded them from apologizing.

Of course he is right.

Consumers simply have to pay for what they want to buy.

The origin of the product, who made it first, was not for consumers but for the president of the company to think about.

Yumi through indirect experiences. And one day I ran a lot of things myself, so I knew it very well.

At the same time, so there's very little I can do to help the chief.

"Our YMCA chicken was just a small shop at first. There were 2nd and 3rd stores, but there were 1 or 2 stores a year. We had an operator, but the scale itself was incredibly small."

President Yoo Seong-bok carefully began talking about his past.

He was talking to Haru and Yumi, but he could easily notice.

You're not talking to me.

Isn't it strange for Yoo Sung-bok to suddenly bring up his story here in the first place?

It was a story that Bonam, who was sitting next to everyone, told them to listen to.

Haru drew the line that he didn't want to fire him, and it seems that he doesn't want to go back, so do you want to leave room like this?

Then what should I do with myself?

Thinking hard, I decided to keep listening to him for now.

Haru also had a rare opportunity to listen to the history of the CEO of a big chicken franchise.

"But it didn't go down. I was growing up very slowly and steadily.”

"You must have been very strict about your operations."

"Oh, no need to say. I never gave you a branch easily. Definitely a judge. Another judge. If the taste changes even a little, I relentlessly kicked it out. Of course, that's why all the branches' sales came out pretty good.""Good for you."

"That's how we kept cruising, and there was a big hit. There's always a curve in life, and fortunately I'm on the good side."

One day, Yoo Seong-bok's YMCA Chicken, which had been cruising well, developed a new menu.

It was originally YMCA that only sold basic menus such as fried, seasoned, and soy sauce, but customers' requests will continue to come in.

The number of branches is increasing now, I felt the need to develop a new menu.

But I didn't want to copy other chicken restaurants' menus.

I felt like I was copying something, and crucially, because of the characteristics of the menus, I did business for two to three months and got rid of the menu.

That wasn't Yoo Seong-bok's style.

"Young children and older people can all enjoy it. I also rushed to make chicken that young people like these days. After months of research.”

Of course, it was not easy to make a new product on bare ground.

Once basically all the chicken was on the market, they had to make a whole new one.

It took a long time. It was also a painful time.

However, Yoo Seong-bok eventually did it.

"I've been up all night, and I've been bleeding my nose. This Bburing Bburing chicken.”

"I knew that. It was really popular. Sales would have almost doubled as soon as it was released.”

"You know it, don't you?"

"At that time, the third YMCA Chicken store, which was a few in the country, was in front of my house. We delivered a lot of food there. I felt it right away."

As soon as the story about Bburing Bburing Chicken came out, Ye-young, who had been silent, jumped to her feet as if she had waited.

She knew from the beginning that the origin of Bburing Bburing Chicken was YMCA Chicken.

Rather, he may have been waiting for this story to come out now.

As E-young moved, Bonam, who was shaking his head like a sinner, glanced at her.

What is he trying to say?

Such shaking continued to stare at the preliminary stage.

"I still remember. If there were 10 deliveries, 8 were bburing bburing chicken. It's spread through social media. And the number of franchises is increasing."

"It was a dream time. Finally, my family, my efforts are paying off! At this rate, our chicken restaurant could become a liquor franchise! I'm working hard thinking like that. One day... Suddenly, there was a TV full of commercials."

Although sales and recognition soared due to the unconventional success of the new menu, YMCA Chicken was still about the size of a small and medium-sized company.

Now, with this momentum, we're going to blow up a few more, run a few more years, and expand the size of the company. To the point where you can draw a picture.

But just then, Youngjun's chicken detonated a bomb.

"How come he didn't change his name and used our menu name? Bburing bburing chicken. I'm sure the guy I made with all my blood and sweat was on TV with the mark of another big chicken restaurant."

That's when it started.

YMCA chicken began to be eaten more and more by marketing like Erie, who discovered the prey, which would not be enough to be aggressive.

People have increasingly come to believe that the origin of Bburing Bburing chicken is Youngjun's chicken.

He poured a huge amount of money into advertising and put out Bburing Bburing Chicken at all Youngjun's chicken chains.

Sales of YMCA chicken, which had been stabilized by the launch of an event that even reduced prices, were directly hit.CEO Yoo Seong-bok, who was like a nose cut, was dumbfounded and couldn't even shed tears.

I couldn't protest, and I was just being treated as a small person.

And the aftermath continues years later.

"So now……. The brand YMCA Chicken itself is very difficult. The franchises are closing down one by one or changing to another franchise. It's hard to find an employee who you can trust and trust while sales continue to decline."

President Yoo Seong-bok's eyes slipped to the side.

As his story continued, he headed to his son, who kept shaking his head.

Bo-nam, who raised his head very slowly, opened his mouth in a dying voice.

"That much...Is it a very difficult situation?"

"I told you. I'm just maintaining it. Now we need young blood in our chicken restaurant. And you can trust him like a family."

In fact, it's not bad enough to keep it about the size of a YMCA chicken house.

I can roughly predict the income and things like that kind of thing.

However, it cannot be bigger even if it can be maintained at this rate.

I need a young man who can take over my job completely.

"Come back, Bonam. For me and your mother. That's enough."

"I'm…."

Father who talks while looking at Bonam's face.

Even more wrinkled hands for his age were full of scars.

But Bonam was unable to answer.

The awkward time between the rich and the poor just flew by.

* * *

Clattering, clattering.

Clattering, clattering.

"Oh, Yumi. Could you make the roux there first? I'm in a bit of a hurry with the sauce."

"Yes, I'll make it right away."

And that evening.

The time before midnight after sending all the regular guests, leaving Bonam and Yeyoung.

There was an awkward silence in the table heaven, which was preparing dinner for ghost guests.

The reason was simple.

Haru and Yumi. Even Choi Hanseok, who was so talkative. It's all because of the complicated mind.

"At the end of the day... nothing has been decided.”

"Right, Bonam couldn't answer. "CEO Seongbok said he would come back to see his son someday."

It's because I'm old. Did you say Seongbok? I could hear his burning heart all the way here. What a nice son you have, what a world. How does it get tangled up?

The family of heaven, saying a word out of disappointment.

Nevertheless, the things on the chest seemed to be getting heavier rather than lighter.

Yumi, who was making pork cutlet sauce at the request of the day, shook the pot and muttered lamentably.

"I'm most worried about Ye-young's expression. Yeyoung wouldn't have imagined it. A few days ago, you said you met a friend who's in love with each other, and you were really happy. It's been a long time since I've spoken to a man."

"From Yeyoung's point of view……. I'm sure you are."

The problems felt by Haru or Yumi and the problems felt by Ye-young were certainly different.

Until yesterday, everyone in Table of Heaven knew Bonam as just a 'slightly poor graduate student'.

Graduate school, of course, supports research funds and other things, but he is still passionate enough to earn money in his spare time.However, it turned out that Bonam's father was the chairman of a large chicken franchise, and Bonam ran out on his own because he didn't like such a house.

I've lived from zero to now.

At the same time, it was not strange for E-young, who felt sympathy for Bonam, who thought he was similar, to feel a little betrayed.

And what worries me most is that Ye-young will blame herself for the crime.

She's always hard on the outside, but I knew she wasn't.
