Jongseok's store has been doing well. Now, unlike high school, only Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday have to go to school.

On Tuesday, classes were only available in the morning, so when he came back early, Jong-seok helped him work at home on his day off or early days.

So when Jong-seok was off or finished early, he prepared more ingredients than usual and did business.

And in fact, even if you make tteokbokki with the same sauce, the one made by Jongseok was a little more delicious.

As the taste changes in the process of applying heat and pouring water, the stalks are replenished with absolute palate.

So more elementary school students gathered on Friday, when Jong-seok was there.

Unlike tourists, elementary school students come here often, so they know about the change in taste.

***

On Friday afternoon, I was reading a printout of A4 of Jong-seok, who put out a chair outside the store.

What Jong-seok is looking at now was a special Chinese character ability test question. Scroll through the problem paper! Srrrr! Jong-seok, who was turning over, nodded.

'It's not that hard.’

It was not that difficult to solve the problem of the first-class Chinese character test, which is the highest grade among Chinese characters. There were few Chinese characters I didn't know, and most of them I knew.

However, there was one problem. It's the weak ??

The abbreviation refers to characters written in brief abbreviation of complex Chinese characters. And there was no weak character in the scholar's memory in Jong-seok's head.

So I had to memorize all the abbreviations again.

If you write Chinese characters that Jong-seok knows, you will get the wrong answer.

So what Jong-seok needed to see was memorizing the weak.

Jong-seok's cell phone rang while memorizing the weak.

Jong-seok answered the phone when he saw the Seoul number.

"Hello."

Is it Jongseok?

"Huh? Who are you?”

Ah! It's been so long. I'm producer Kang Sung-soo.

"Oh! Hello."

I remembered when I heard the name. He was the producer for tomorrow's cooking king, which was aired last year on Children's Day.

Why didn't you come to the broadcasting station once?

"You're busy."

That's true. Yeah. How are you?

"Yes, I'm fine."

How was your school?

"I'm enrolled in Kyungwha University's oriental medical school.

You got into a good school.

"Thank you. But what's the matter with you?"

It's nothing else, but I've got a new show this time.

"Pilot program?"

No, this time it's a regular program. I wish it was a program that I made, but I decided to join instead of the producer of the program that I have now.

"Is everything all right?"

Of course. It's good. It's not my show, but I have my own.

"Good for you, then. But for what?"

It's nothing else, but my new program is about food.

"Are we having a cooking contest?”

At Kang Sung-soo's words, Jong-seok covered the book he was looking at. If I had a cooking contest program, I really wanted to go out.

I wanted to go out like last time and get paid for the show and the prize money. Although he received enough pocket money, he wanted to make and spend at least some pocket money.

And it's true that you need a lot of pocket money as you become a college student.

So I wanted to go on a cooking contest program and win the prize to make money.

"Should I buy a used car for ten million won like before?"’

Some of my college friends were already driving around. And I envied them when I saw them driving their girlfriend around in the car.

I bring them from home, I take them home, I listen to music, and I go on dates in the car.

Kang Sung-soo said when Jong-seok thought of such a thing.

It's not a cooking contest program.

"No?"

This program is 119 Food Rescue Team.

"Oh! I saw it."

"119 Food Rescue Team" was a program that improved recipes and interior design by visiting restaurants where food business was not doing well.

Did you see that? Then you talk fast. What do you think about me trying to cast you as one of the food rescue teams as I'm new to the PD?

"I'm the food processor? Wouldn't it be better to use a professional chef known on TV?”

That's okay, but all the famous chefs these days are known for their faces. And if you tell the truth, it's hard to recruit such people, and there's a lot to do. And as far as I'm concerned, are you young, or are you a college student now? I think it would be a good topic for an ordinary college student to think about and research to find a delicious recipe with a hard restaurant owner.

Jong-seok, who was listening to Kang Sung-soo, said after thinking for a while.

"I'll do it then. By the way, how much is the appearance fee?”

500 thousand won

"500,000 won, ···"

It was 850,000 won for tomorrow's cooking king, and Kang Sung-soo said to Jong-seok, who was thinking about it.

Is it small?

"No, I will."

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'm sure you're disappointed because the fee is lower than tomorrow's cooking king.

Kang Sung-soo was reading Jong-seok's thoughts accurately.

Actually, we give a lot of this to the regular cast. Tomorrow's cooking king was a pilot program, so I gave him more.

"Did you?"

Right. And tomorrow's cooking king didn't do a lot of reruns because it's a short hair program, but 119 does a lot of reruns. Depending on the rerun, the fee will continue to go in.

"Is there such a thing?”

Of course. Even though the first rerun fell to 20% and 15% and 10% after that, the cable has been playing a lot these days. It'll be pretty good.

"Good."

Right. Then can I see you on Tuesday?

"Tuesday? I have a class on Tuesday..."

What time does it end?

"About 12:00 p.

Well, then I'll be filming. Come straight to my address after class on Tuesday.

"Okay."

And when I come back, I'll get a copy of my resident registration, a stamp, and an ID.

"Yes."

Jong-seok, who hung up like that, suddenly looked at his cell phone.

"Tuesday?"

Today is Friday, so it's after four days. You may think you have plenty of time on your own business.

I prepared for tomorrow's cooking king shoot a few months ago. Considering that it was a weekly show, I thought it was an extremely dangerous attempt to make a proposal four days ago.

"You don't think I'm the one who'

A proposal that came too quickly, or perhaps someone's seat, seemed to have been rushed to the visa itself.

But it didn't matter. If you go out once and get 500,000 won, it's a high-priced albayi.

"Phew!"

The writer, who was next to Kang Sung-soo with a sigh of relief, hurriedly asked.

"How'd it go? Did you cast him?"

"Fortunately, I was cast."

The writer sighed with relief at Kang Sung-soo's words.

"Oh, no! I'm so glad.”

"For Christ's sake! See if I ever see this white-dormu's face again."

"I know. Anyways, they watch TV shows like dog poop because they're popular these days. Since when have you been a white-dormu?”

These days, Kang Sung-soo and his writer have begun to chew him, citing the name of a star chef who raises stock prices on TV.

In fact, Kang Sung-soo recruited Baek Do-moo as he newly joined the 119 Food Rescue Team.

He was trying to start anew as a star chef with an impact.

And I gave permission to do the back dance. But I suddenly got a call this morning that I couldn't do it.

That's when we have to start recording next Tuesday.

That meant that the cook should be hired by next Tuesday.

But suddenly it was almost impossible to cast a star chef or professional chef right away after a few days.

In the case of famous chefs' restaurants, it is no joke to say that they are all scheduled in half a year.

So Kang Sung-soo and the writers urgently called their acquaintances to cast them.

And as expected, they all fail.

Eventually, Kang Sung-soo called the chefs who had been "tomorrow's Cooking King" with him last year.

That's how they cast Jongseok.

"By the way, PD, what did you think about what you said to Jongseok on the phone earlier?”

"What horse?"

"A story about a collaboration between a young chef and a shopkeeper.”

"Oh! That's what I've been saying. That kind of item came to mind. And doesn't it actually look all right?”

"When I heard that, I thought it was amazing. It's a great collaboration between an unfinished chef and a shopkeeper who wants to grow."

Kang Sung-soo nodded at the writer's words.

"And I'll have to call that runner-up, too.”

"Isn't that Ian?"

"He's good, too. Plus, the pace is good. Having a female chef would be better for the screen than a male chef."

"That's a good idea, too."

Kang Sung-soo, who nodded at the writer's clapping of his hands, searched his notebook and searched for Lee's number and called.

***

After Tuesday's class, Jong-seok was riding a bus. On the bus, Jong-seok was reading information about the restaurant he received by mail from Kang Sung-soo.

'Pork ribs, ··'

Jong-seok's house to go to was a pork rib restaurant. Until last year, this pork rib restaurant was delicious, if not delicious.

However, the owner of the house became ill and hospitalized, which led to rumors that it was not tasty and became a business.

The story was sent to the 119 Food Rescue Team because it was difficult to do business even though it was a business for the owner.

Reading the information from the pork rib restaurant, Jong-seok had many thoughts in his head.

Pork ribs were also a favorite restaurant menu for Jongseok. But I just don't feel that good after getting my taste buds.

'Pork ribs, ····, would taste good if it wasn't for the taste. Does this mean there's a problem if business doesn't work?'

It's delicious if you put the sauce of pork ribs sold on the market and grill them. It's a menu to feel.

However, if you sent a story to the 119 Food Rescue Team due to poor business, you should say that there is a different problem than the taste.

What's the problem, then? Does it smell like a pig?'

The smell of pigs was the most serious thing Jong-seok took after he got his absolute taste.

'You've been there and had pork ribs, but why don't you have that information?’

After deciding to go to 119 Food Rescue, Jong-seok downloaded and watched the previous broadcasts.

And then I saw secret agents go to the restaurant secretly and eat.

However, the information given by Kang Sung-soo does not include such information.

Hmm. Didn't you tell me for a live reaction?’

While looking at the paper with that thought, Jong-seok got off the bus when he had to get off.

"Jongseok County!"

A young man waved his hand as Jong-seok descended.

"Hello."

"Let's go fast."

Jong-seok asked at the young man's hurried steps.

"Have you started shooting?”

"Yes."

With the young man's horse, Jong-seok was able to get to where the broadcasting team was.

And the fact that a high school girl is looking at herself.

"You?"

"Hung!"

Lee An-na, a high school girl who snorted at Jong-seok's call, looked at him stealthily and said,

"Have you built up a lot of skill?"

Jong-seok said with a big smile at the still half-hearted talk.

"You still miss the word 'brother'?”

"Crazy."

"Crazy, to my brother.

"That's fine.

When Jong-seok shook his head in a small way, the staff filled him with a microphone.

"Did you see what I sent you?"

When Kang Sung-soo approached, Jong-seok said.

"I've seen some secret agents before, but why isn't there anything about him?”

"If you know what it tastes like, you'll guess what the problem is, so keep it a secret for now."

Jong-seok nodded at the right guess and greeted MC Oh Jung-jin.

And as soon as the preparations for the shoot were all done, the shooting began.

Actor Oh Jung-jin, the main MC of 119 Food Rescue Team, came out to greet and introduce Jong-seok and Lee Anna.

And Jong-seok and Ianna soon went into the store.
