Have a Meal Before You Go Chapter 1.1

The Strange Restaurant (2) – Part 1

After pouring the oil on the pan which was heated up, he grilled it. There might be some people who say you would get indigestion if you have meat in the morning but the man was not one of them. His theory was that people must eat meat.

Chiiiiik-!

Together with the sound of the meat cooking, and around the time a delicious smell comes out, he crushes the garlic and puts it in the frying pan. It is also good to rub the garlic on the surface of the meat.

(TL Note: This novel so far has often switched point of views from what the man is doing and third person to what is recommended like a cooking show or first person or what he is thinking so please excuse me if the tense and such is a bit wonky and weird)

After cooking either sides like that, if you have spices you rub it on the meat. It’s nearly complete once both side are cooked like that.

The man put the meat from  the frying pan onto the chopping board. You had to wait a few minutes like this. That way the meat would taste better.

At that moment.

Koong Koong Koong

A knocking sound could be heard. The man glanced towards the door.

“Is Kang CheolHo-ssi here?”

(TL: just decided to add and stick with the typical oppa, hyeung, nim, ssi honourifics/names or whatnot as most of you guys know what it means.)

“Yeah.”

As the man opened the door, a male wearing lanky uniform faced him.

“I came from the Awakened a.s.sociation. Are you Kang CheolHo-ssi?”

“Yeah.”

“It’s nothing much but a surprise attack came from the Velto Muli yesterday near the vicinity. Luckily it was cleaned up quickly but you must have been quite alarmed.”

“Ah, yeah. Well, it’s like that. Isn’t that everyday life?”

“Haha, they say society nowadays has stabilised but sometimes these kinds of things seem to happen. I came out to inquire if you had taken any damages. Luckily, because the neighbourhood in the vicinity is undamaged, the damages are satisfactory. Oh?”

All of a sudden the male sniffed with his nose.

“A delicious smell is coming out.”

“Firstly, this is a restaurant.”

The man, CheolHo, smirked and replied simply. From the man’s stomach, a Goloolook sound could be heard.

“By any chance, is your store open?”

CheolHo nodded his head at the male’s words.

“Yeah, well. It is.”

“Then could I perhaps have one serving of breakfast? I’ve been going around since dawn so I haven’t had a single meal.”

“You should.”

CheolHo replied simply and received the guest. The male whistled at the simple tables.

It meant that he found it fun to sit in a bar style table.

“Could you give me the menu?”

“Ah, we don’t have a menu. We’re the type that cooks depending on what is supplied day to day.”

“Oh.”

The male nodded his head.

“It’s like some kind of restaurant drama. What is today’s menu?”

“The menu today is Velto Steak. Some fresh Velto meat came from the market. It must be those guys from yesterday?”

At CheolHo’s questions, the male nodded his head again.

“Velto…… It must be. The amount of guys from yesterday reached ten. Luckily Magic Spearman-nim resolved it and it looks like he went straight to the market.”

“It happened just at the right time. Please sit.”

CheolHo went to the kitchen and while looking at the completed meat, smacked his lips. However, it was right to give it to the customer now that he was here.

The oil remaining on the frying pan used to cook the meat. At that place he poured the milk of a ‘Cow Hol’.

You couldn’t pour too much, but moderately splash enough to mix with the oil.

So, a Cow Hol’s size was tremendous. You can see it as a monster that is like a huge dairy cow. It is a suitable ingredient for cooking as it is more oily and savoury than milk.

Chiiiik!

Strong flame.

You mix it evenly on the frying pan like that. Even if you’re lazy, if you forget to stir then it will quickly get burnt and stick to the pan. Sprinkle a bit of salt and gently sprinkle in some herbs as well.

The sauce is complete.

CheolHo giggled and poured the sauce generously over the meat.

Now. Complete!

Velto Steak

“Wow.”

The male’s eyes opened wide
