Let's explain it like this. Haru, who do you think is on top of the chef?

Choi Han-seok looked down at the day with his arms crossed.

He seemed to be joking, and at the same time serious interviews.

The temperature itself was lukewarm because of the mixed atmosphere like cold and hot water.

The day was answered without difficulty. Choi Han-seok giggled.

"On top of the chef? Hmmm. Guests?"

That's just like you.

"I thought you'd do that if you were a chef."

One day, I answered sincerely, but the remaining two laughed.

A little hot day asked Yumi.

"What do you think, Yumi?”

"Well, still, to be realistic. Isn't there a higher chef on top of the chef?”

"A higher chef. Oh, that's true, too."

Park Joo Hyuk was on top of him just for a day.

Restaurant kitchens move in a hierarchy as strict as army. What the boss says is absolute.

It's not just because I'm good at cooking. Because there is a dish that can be cooked because it is my boss.

But one question remains.

What about Park Joohyuk? Who's on top of Joohyuk?

"On top of Chef Park Joo-hyuk...…. Who's there?"

Neither Yumi nor Haru could easily answer this.

Park Joo-hyuk is the head chef of oral fairy tales.

He was the owner of this restaurant because he inherited the oral fairy tale established by Choi Han-seok.

But Choi Han-seok says no.

Park Joo-hyuk is not the owner of the restaurant. He was the owner of the dish he made.

There was a separate owner of the restaurant.

Investor. The one above Joohyuk is the investor.

"In the oral fairy tale……Who invested?”

Haru, of course you don't know. The establishment of a fine dining restaurant itself can't afford to break the bank. Whatever business you do, you run out of money anyway. So the big hands go into the investors. It's a de facto chairman.

So do businesses.

There is a president, and there is a chairman on top of the president.

Park Joo-hyuk was the president of Koo Jeon-hwa, but he was not the chairman. Because there was an investor holding the money on top of him.

"I didn't know that."

It's weird to know. Most people don't know. That's normal.

Choi Hanseok says it's okay. But one day I was surprised.

That's quite sincere too.

I didn't think there was any problem until now. I know everything, no. Before that, I thought I just had to cook well.

It wasn't that. There were so many realities that Haru didn't know yet.

Choi Han-seok didn't tell Haru such things.

I wonder why. One day I couldn't tell.

Yumi opened her eyes hard.

"So you're saying that Adam is the one who invests in restaurants?”

No, Adam's not that bad. The man on top of the investor.

"What the hell... .. I don't know."

But even one more step up from there.

Investors on the head chef. And Adam on top of the investor.

This is what the world calls him.

My seniors called me manager. A manager who connects investors and restaurants.

"Manager……."

Adam is the most famous manager in the world. I heard you used to be a chef, but there was no record at all, so it was full of rumors. He's a real piece of work, anyway. If we collect all the stars in Adam's restaurant, it'll fill the night sky.

"Well, that's about it?"

There are up to three Michelin stars that a restaurant can receive.

Even those three, one chef really needs to change his life.Simply because Park Joo-hyuk now maintains the three stars in the oral fairy tale well, he became a legend in the Korean chef world.

Therefore, it was not enough to say that it was difficult to open a restaurant from the beginning and then win a three-star restaurant.

Yumi.

"Yes, Chef!"

Tell me the name of the Michelin restaurant, it doesn't matter which country it is. Whatever you have.

"As it is? Yeah, I mean. Well, let's start with France.….”

Yumi was a woman who was really interested in this field.

As if you've prepared something like this for me, 30 famous restaurants around the world.

It came out.

Choi Han-seok, who was nodding, stretched his hands.

"Hmm?"

What it means is the number 10.

Except for ten, it's all Adam's consulting restaurant.

"……I can't believe it. Don't lie to me."

- What's the point of lying to me about something like this? I'm serious.

"The chef is right. You're not the type to lie. It's especially important."

Adam is a really scary chef.

Rather than as a chef, as a guest to eat. He's really the worst customer for a chef.

"It's hard to satisfy. Right?"

Exactly.

I thought I'd know a day now.

If you think about what Choi Han-seok said a little more, isn't this what he meant?

He's the one who created that many Michelin restaurants.

In other words, it also meant that he went to all those Michelin restaurants.

I've been eating all the expensive and delicious dishes in the world, and that's also work.

When Adam says it's delicious, it means it's a delicious dish worldwide.

I can't believe my short rib patties went to someone like that.’

Has Adam tasted the food of the day by now?

If you tasted it, what would you be thinking?

Choi Han-seok turned his head.

Haru. Personally, I think. I think I know roughly what the grim reaper meant.

"The same goes for me."

Having emphasized heaven so much on the table. And a day's dream she said.

Now I felt like all the puzzles were being put together.

No, it didn't fit, so it looked clear. The picture that Yeomra is drawing. What I was going to say to Haru.

"Chef Adam must have been sent by the Lord of the Underworld, right?”

I think that's probably the case.

"I... wanted to open a restaurant as soon as possible."

I'm sure it's time. It's time to leave heaven and move on to higher ground.

"What will happen? Forward."

I don't know. I only know the king of the underworld. Still, wouldn't that be a good thing for you? Does it?

It was a day where he lived twice as long as anyone else, but even for him, the time of the world flew by.

The time was getting closer and closer to leaving the nest.

* * *

"I had faith, too.”

Slurp!

A hotel suite in central Seoul.

Standing there, gazing at the night view, Adam sipped the wine.

The spacious, of course, was not luxurious, but Adam didn't feel a thing of it.

To stay here for a day, you need a salary equivalent to 1.5 months of daily workers.

And it's about as much money as gum for Adam.

No, money itself didn't mean much to him already.

"You've aged a lot. I don't really want to buy anything."

Adam has certainly realised that these days.

It wasn't until old that he knew, but most of the things he wanted couldn't buy with money.

For example, a really close friend?Of course Adam had a lot of friends. But now most of them have broken off.

Because I knew they saw money, not Adam. I didn't want to meet.

"Listening to the rich...…. I'm sick of it."

Adam was on his way back from a luxury restaurant in a hotel again today.

The family was clear. She was a woman who has accumulated a lot of fame and money by doing food-related work for generations.

Even though he was in his 40s, he was greedy for money and more greedy for career.

That's why she found Adam. I asked him to get a chef and set up a restaurant.

Of course she just gives the money. And that was enough.

Oh, there was one more.

Something you can't buy with money.

That was the 'right' chef.

"You have to wait without any plans, why is everyone like that? A lot of people with a lot of money.”

There is no such chef in Korea yet. Wait because you might not have found it.

But the client soon poured out a bomb of questions.

How long does it take? Can you do it in time no matter what? What will you do if you can't find it?

It was polite language and words, but it was just wrapped up like that. In the end, it was all greed.

"Maybe it's time to stop doing this."

I can't even remember how I started at first.

When I thought about dementia, I burst into laughter came out.

I'm sure eating food was just delicious in the past. It doesn't even taste right now.

Your tongue has become dull.

I can't taste it as delicately as I used to. I'm dead, too.

"Well, it's edible, though.”

It was a restaurant that I went to on impulse because it looked moderately delicious after seeing it on SNS.

Did you say table heaven?

The first impression of the restaurant was simple. Surprised beyond astonishment, Adam suddenly doubted his own eyes.

"Very good. For the size of the restaurant."

Honestly, when Adam first saw the picture of Tteokgalbi made by Haru, he thought of it as a restaurant.

The reason was simple, too. Haru's tteok-galbi was a restaurant-class dish.

But the reality?

It was just a local restaurant, not a restaurant. Even the scale was very small by Adam's standards.

By the way, I've served this much food. He's a talented guy.

"I don't know why they run a restaurant like that. Well, there are a lot of geeks out there."

Just like yourself.

It wasn't bad, though. If I raise it well for a few decades, I think I can use it as a head chef for a restaurant.

Of course, before that, you'll have to give up.

Adam emptied about half of the tteok-galbi with wine.

Basically, if he had eaten this much food, he meant it was really good.

Ring~ Ring~!

As soon as I fell asleep, my cell phone rang.

It wasn't a phone call, there was a text message.

The sender is none other than Made Fur Films' bacon.

"Hmm?"

I thought I'd text you all the time, but it was quite long.

When I looked closely at it, there was an attached file.

"Wow, look at him."

an obvious provocation

But at the same time it was a pretty good offer.

A wrinkled smile hung around Adam's mouth as he read Bacon's text.

"My lucky friend. Well, the timing is great."

Normally you'd ignore it or get angry.

It's a little different now that I've decided it's time to retire from the past."That sounds like fun."

I sent a reply to Bacon.

It was a very different behavior than usual, just deleting most of the incoming text.
