The deadline for the day.

    Kim Ho-sung gave a thumbs up to Haru, who said he would stay and practice cooking.

    "Haru, you''re amazing, too. Aren''t you tired?"

    "You have to do it even if it''s hard. Now that we''ve made an auxiliary escape, let''s work harder."

    "That''s what other kids complimented you about earlier. You said you didn''t know I had this skill. Do you know how proud I was of everything?"

    "Huh, thank you."

    "Thank you, man. Don''t forget me even if it goes well later? All right?"

    "Of course, sir! You go first. I''m going to practice a little more before I go in."

    "Way to go!"

    Cheering~!

    Kim Ho-sung went out and the door to the oral fairy tale was closed.

    The kitchen of the restaurant that is left alone again for one day.

    As soon as he left, Choi Han-seok popped out from behind the wall.

    I like it crowded, but I like it better. This silence in the kitchen. You and I are making fun dishes together!

    "It''s no fun for two men to be in a dark kitchen."

    - Haru, you... If you keep doing this, I won''t tell you the secret recipe.

    "Hahaha! It''s so much fun. I feel like my life is worth it. Hahaha!"

    One day, I laughed with the most awkward expression in the world.

    Choi Han-seok looked at such a day as if he was speechless, and soon dropped his head.

    Just in case, don''t go anywhere and act. It''s the best wish I''ve ever had in my life. It''s almost midnight, so let''s just cook. Do you have any dough left?

    "Yes, chef!"

    Haru took out the leftover tteokgalbi dough from inside the refrigerator.

    The one that I made with Park Joohyuk head chef in the morning.

    Originally, it was destined to be abandoned due to the oral story of using fresh ingredients every day, but I was allowed to ask him directly and use it for practice.

    About 10 servings of remaining dough.

    I wasn''t sure what would happen today, so I was going to prepare everything before midnight.

    So, what''s the menu I''m going to tell you today? It''s a hamburger steak that makes you smile.

    "Hambak steak? It''s a rice cake dough."

    Oh, you don''t think a cook is that creative? Korean Tteokgalbi and Western Hamburger Steak are not much different in nature. Both are meat-cooked dishes. Does it?

    One day, there were many words I wanted to refute, saying, "Does it make sense?" But for now, I nodded.

    Isn''t that what Choi Han-seok, his role model and legendary chef, says?

    Cooking isn''t as big as you think. Just use the ingredients you have, and you''re done if you make it delicious. In that sense, I ask you. What should I do to create a Western flavor in this extremely Korean dough?

    "Hmmm……."

    Koo Jeon-hwa was also a Korean fine dining restaurant, and Park Joo-hyuk''s cooking policy was to keep within the category of Korean food as much as possible, so the current tteok-galbi was also extremely Korean.

    Beef and pork, soy sauce and sugar, minced garlic and chives...… for not even using that common breadcrumbs.

    Make Western flavor out of this dough.

    It was never an easy mission.

    The chef said, "Tteok-galbi and hamburger steak are the same." Hmm, what was the difference between the two recipes?’

    Aha!

    A flash of light passed through my head of the day.

    He was a more sensible man than I thought.

    He looked at Choi Han-seok, who was smiling as if he was expecting an answer."Put herbs in the dough and use butter, not oil, to bake."

    - What herbs go in?

    "Considering the characteristics of meat, I think Rosemary and Time are good."

    Rosemary would know most of the time. Herbs that can never be missed when grilling steak. The unique subtle scent cleans up the cow''s smell.

    Time can be a bit unfamiliar, basically similar to rosemary. But Time is a little more fragrant.

    She''s more assertive than Rosemary.

    However, if used with proper amount adjustment, the exotic flavor of the style can be enhanced.

    In fact, American restaurants use it as often as Korean garlic.

    What does butter use?

    "Salt-free butter without salt. If you add herbs when baking, the scent will be better.”

    Questions and answers were exchanged like a storm without a moment''

    The heart of the day was pounding.

    Is this enough to pass? I don''t think that''s a bad answer.

    Choi Han-seok, who had been waiting for a while, exclaimed as he looked at the day.

    How can you be the same as when I was young? Sometimes it''s amazing. He''s basically got a good sense of cooking. I like it a lot.

    A lot of rave reviews!

    One day breathed pleasantly at the thought of sighing.

    "Is that a pass?"

    Where are you sleeping through? I was just asking. But if I were to rate it out of the blue, this answer is worth 50 points.

    "What?"

    However, the evaluation that followed was too salty.

    You complimented me like I was when I was young, and now you''re only 50 points?

    One day, I couldn''t understand Choi Han-seok''s thoughts.

    "Well, isn''t 50 a little too little?”

    The reason you got 50 is simple. It''s because I still lack creativity. You''re too stuck in a frame.

    "Well, what''s the 100 point answer?"

    I''m here to let you know that. Haru, you''re really lucky. Star chef recognized by the whole world! I will teach you a secret recipe for Choi Han-seok.

    Choi Hanseok suddenly shows off.

    It would have been just ugly if someone else did this, but I couldn''t say anything about it.

    It was all true in reality.

    Choi Han-seok walked to the refrigerator in the kitchen after passing a day with a blank look on his face.

    I think I''ve seen it somewhere before. Do you want to open this?

    I opened the door where he pointed.

    A space for storing dairy products such as milk and butter.

    Choi Han-seok pointed to something in the corner.

    This is my secret ingredient.

    "It''s... cheese."

    Haru took a chunk of mozzarella cheese out of the refrigerator.

    At the same time, a recipe flashed through my head.

    "Aha! That''s how it works!"

    I guess you''re getting the hang of it now. I really like how you understand quickly.

    Choi Han-seok did not have to give detailed recipes.

    In Haru''s head, the finished hamburger steak was cooking with steam.

    shouted in an excited voice.

    "Let''s go. It looks so delicious. I can''t wait to make it!"

    * * *

    Yeah, yeah. Use your thumb and index finger to remove it.

    "Yes, chef."

    It was the same until the dough with rosemary and thyme was removed for one serving and kneaded hand and hand.But afterwards it was a little different.

    I put mozzarella cheese and butter, which were cut squarely between the widely sliced dough.

    After that, he wrapped it in a circle as if he was making dumplings.

    "Cheese and butter should not melt, so stay cold and be as fast as you can."

    That''s half the way it''s half way there. It''s not that different afterwards.

    It''s sizzling!

    Place butter and olive oil in a heated pan.

    Olive oil is added together to increase boiling point because it can burn easily with butter.

    Afterwards, add a stalk of rosemary, and bake patties.

    The baking method and time are the same as before.

    Bake both sides, reduce heat, and finish the roasting.

    "Phew. How''s it going?"

    It''s perfect. It looks really delicious. Look at the gloss.

    On the surface, it doesn''t look that different from the short rib patties I made all day.

    But the scent was completely different.

    A completely western smell, with the aroma of herbs and the savouryness of butter.

    Now do you want to cut it in half? That''s the highlight of this dish.

    "Yes, of course."

    Place the finished hamburger steak on a plate.

    He brought me a sharp knife and cut it in half reverently.

    Let''s do that.

    "Growl!"

    This is it! This is the hamburger steak!

    mozzarella cheese, melted butter and meat juices.

    The yellow waterfall with all three of the most delicious beats in the world flowed down.

    My mouth is watering on its own. or My mouth is watering by itself. I can''t do it.

    Even though he did not do much plating, he was not envious of the best dishes.

    What?

    It was a good time to midnight.

    From midnight to 3 a.m., the time when the door opens.

    Choi Han-seok, who confirmed that he was able to touch real things, quickly picked up a fork and knife next to him.

    If you cut it like this and take a bite, Kiyaha!

    "Well, me too! Me too!"

    Yeah, you should try it, too. Here, alas.

    Choi Han-seok cut a big piece and put it in Haru''s mouth.

    The touch on the teeth was like a soft cake.

    Savory cheese, butter, and juicy meat permeated the tongue.

    Herbs can even control the greasy taste.

    To put it simply, it''s a fattening taste that you can eat infinitely.

    "Kiyaha!"

    The exact same reaction as Choi Han-seok popped out.

    In a way, it''s nothing, but I don''t know why it''s so delicious.

    Oh, look, Haru. As soon as I ate it, I laughed and said hamburger steak. You see?

    "If it tastes like this, I have no choice but to admit it. You''re a great chef!"

    While they were sharing a piece of hamburger steak.

    Something came into the eyes of the day when I was thinking about baking the next piece.

    "Oh, it''s really good. If it''s this, I can eat a few more...…. Argh!"

    Right in the middle of the restaurant, in front of the kitchen.

    A high school girl ghost who came yesterday stood with her eyes wide open.

    "Oh, my God! If you''re here, why don''t you tell me you''re here? I thought I was going to lose my nerve."

    -I''m sorry... do it. You two look so friendly, I can''t talk to you.

    Hahaha, it''s kind of a friendly day with me! If I roughly say what I want to eat, he makes it for me. How much do you appreciate it?

    Choi Han-seok cut in with a loud voice.

    A question mark was drawn on Haru''s face while listening to him.No, but did you just want to eat it? I was wondering what it was again.’

    Anyway, let''s put aside the obvious question.

    Haru asked, looking at the ghost of a high school girl.

    "Hmmmm. You said one, didn''t you? We made hamburger steak today. Do you want one? This is really good.

    One had been looking at the hamburger steak with a dying look on his face.

    Also, this kind of dish, where cheese falls down like a waterfall, is not a favorite of high school girls.

    But one reaction was different from what I thought.

    -I... I''m fine.

    Hana shakes her head after thinking for a while.

    "Huh? You don''t like hamburg steak? Or you don''t like cheese?"

    It''s not like that. I don''t have a lot of money. Except for the money to buy ramen.

    Doraemon''s wallet, which was burnt with dirt, and 1,000 won bills and coins in it.

    That was the whole fortune the girl had.

    ''Actually, the amount of money doesn''t matter at all.’

    The Grim Reaper used to say so.

    The most important thing in paying for a meal is not money, but the heart of the person who ate it.

    The 100 won that you pay after eating deliciously is more valuable than the 1 million won that you pay after eating tastelessly.

    But the one who just died didn''t know it.

    The day I was a little worried about opened my mouth soon.

    "Well, here''s the deal. I''ll make you ramen. We''ll give you a hamburger steak for free."

    - Still... - That''s expensive. It costs tens of thousands of won. If it''s made in such a luxurious restaurant.

    "Of course! It''s very expensive. If you sell it for cash, you have to get 20,000 won."

    Considering the Michelin 3-star oral fairy tale, this was a realistic price.

    No, it was actually cheaper.

    20,000 won per plate.….

    One expression was shocked to hear that it was 10,000 won.

    Of course, I didn''t mean any of this.

    "I know. Instead of serving such expensive dishes for free, there''s a condition.”

    What do you mean conditions?

    "Just in case, are there other ghosts outside the restaurant? Ghosts your age."

    There are some student ghosts in my school. They look so old that I couldn''t talk to them because I was scared.

    "Then bring them to our restaurant at midnight tomorrow. I''m asking you to promote the restaurant. Hehe, if you do this well, I''ll give you delicious food every day for free.”

    Only at midnight every night, at the time when the door opens, can ghosts interfere with reality by the side of the day.

    In other words, without a day, ghosts can''t even smell food, let alone eat.

    Once you tasted the special hamburger steak, one answer was already set to some extent.

    It''s because you''re hungry even more after you''ve been full and gone.

    -Every day...… That kind of dish...….

    A glance shook wildly between the hamburger steak and the day.

    After much consideration, he asked in a crawling voice.

    I might not be good at it. I don''t even know what kind of kids they are.

    "If we fail, we can try again tomorrow. I''m fine—I won''t rush you."

    -Then... -Okay. I''ll try.

    Hana nods her head with a determined look.A big smile hung on Haru''s face.

    "Okay! Well, come sit here. I''ll make you a hamburger steak with ramen. Do you want some rice?”

    Thank you.

    The day I received the order was about to enter the kitchen excitedly.

    Choi Han-seok stood in his way.

    You cooked all the ramen yesterday. I''ll do it today, so you take a rest.

    "Huh? Still, I could do it."

    I just want to cook for the first time in a while. Do you agree?

    Come to think of it, isn''t Choi Han-seok a person who has been cooking all his life?

    I thought that could be the case, so I kindly left the room.

    "Well, I look forward to your kind cooperation. Chef!"

    Wait for me. I''ll show you the class difference.

    Choi Hanseok, smiling with anticipation.

    He murmured quietly, looking at the day when he sat next to one another and talked naturally.

    You want me to promote it instead of giving you a service? How did he come up with such an idea? Anyway, he doesn''t know the end.

    Choi Han-seok didn''t know.

    A happy smile hung around his mouth looking at the day.
