Cheat day

Things that seem useless

The opening day of Baek Seung-yong’s car dealership has arrived.

I plan to start selling at 11 AM, so I came out early in the morning.

I was a bit excited about the fact that we were doing something together as friends, but I couldn’t feel even a hint of that youthful drama atmosphere.

The man dressed as Gungye, Ju Jiseung, was sweating profusely while making rolled omelet and seaweed soup, Cha Jichan packed the side dishes into the lunch boxes, and Baek Woojin checked the inventory.

“How does it make sense to say you’ll come tomorrow when we’re open for business today?”

The Coca-Cola Zero that was supposed to arrive this morning still hasn’t come, and they said they were looking into it, so it seems like there’s a problem.

Baek Woo-jin’s voice, who was on the phone, rose. After saying a few more things, they hung up the phone and went outside.

“Hyung, I’m going to collect some cola.”

Baek Woo-jin held the door and said to Ju Ji-seung.

“왜. They said they can’t send it?

The employee said they misplaced our items. I’ll gather them while I check out the nearby store.

“I’m going crazy.” “Should I just give you the drink starting tomorrow?”

Anyway, it wasn’t about saving money; it was about giving out a small can of drink to each person.

“I uploaded all the components in the video, so how could that happen?” I’ll be back.

Baek Woo-jin even took the Ugenius Channel staff with him to go get some Zero Cola.

“Sang-kyu, Min-cheol, wash your hands and come here.” Put on the plastic gloves, you put in only the bellflower salad, and you put in only the angelica root.

“What is bangpungnamul?”

“This is it.” Hurry up. Hey, wipe off what’s spilled next to you. Neatly. 어?”

Cha Ji-chan didn’t want the side dishes to mix, so he added them one by one, but as the opening time approached in 30 minutes, he seemed to get anxious.

The PD and the writer are even accompanying me to fill the lunchbox.

On the other hand, I also have no leisure.

I was so bad at making rolled omelet that I ended up in charge of the rice and pork bulgogi, but making 250 servings made me think it would be better to just go to the gym.

“PD, please mix the rice for me.”

“Yes.”

Muk-ji opened the rice cooker.

CR1, the product name CookCook, is for home use, so if you want to make 250 servings, you’ll have to cook rice all day while running the shop.

I prepared as many as five rice cookers, but I’m not sure if we can handle it properly.

“Chanyong, is the bulgogi okay?”

The president of Baekseung Motors, Joo Ji-seung, asked about the progress of the pork bulgogi.

Yes. The first one is over.

I filled a large commercial frying pan with the marinated pork bulgogi from yesterday and cooked it.

You can’t cook it over high heat because it will burn, but you need to cook it quickly, so it’s not easy.

“Okay.” You know you have to use a new frying pan when starting fresh, right?

Yes. But, hyung.

“Uh?”

“Concept.”

“Ah, do I have to do it from now?”

Nodding, Gungye solemnly said while making a rolled omelette.

“What is Chief Kim doing?” Without bringing a new frying pan.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

If you keep using the same frying pan, the seasoning can become concentrated and alter the taste, and any leftover seasoning can burn and ruin the flavor.

I put the pork bulgogi in the new frying pan and quickly washed the used frying pan.

When I splashed cold water, steam shot up.

I was rushing, but since I wasn’t familiar with the task, I was just getting anxious. Meanwhile, the aged kimchi was stirring the pork bulgogi for me.

“Wow, that’s insane.”

Baek Woo-jin and the Genius employees came in carrying a bunch of cans of cola.

“Did you see the people outside?” Too much.

“Is there more?”

Jujiseung slightly leaned out to check, but from the kitchen, he couldn’t see how many people had gathered outside.

“This road is all full.”

It would be great if many people come. I was standing since 9 o’clock

Cha Ji-chan said while serving the side dishes.

“Too much.” Think about it. Is our lunchbox worth the 2-hour wait?

At Baek Woo-jin’s question, I, Ju Ji-seung, and Cha Ji-chan all slightly lifted our heads and fell into thought.

It’s cheaper and uses better ingredients than store-bought lunch boxes, but I can’t guarantee it’s delicious enough to wait 2-3 hours for.

“What if there are people who can’t live because they keep waiting like that?”

Surely, that will become a bigger problem.

“I guess I should prepare the queue list for tomorrow.”

PD Choi Michael has expressed his opinion.

“Right.”

Jujiseung checked the watch.

“Mikael, go out and guide the guests, and Woojin, fill the icebox with ice and water and put the cola in.”

“That’s right.”

Baek Woo-jin immediately filled the icebox with water and tore open the ice bag.

“How long do you think it will take Ji-chan?”

“I’ve set up 50.” Now there’s nowhere left to put it.

“Okay.” Fill it up immediately as soon as it goes out. “How’s Chanyong?”

“Since we made one batch, that’s 50 servings.”

“Okay.” Everyone, stay at your posts and let’s receive the guests in 5 minutes.

When no one answered, Gungye, who was making a rolled omelette, sighed and said.

“Chiefs, listen.” There are countless starving beings out there, so prepare to welcome them into this Maitreya’s world.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Baek Seung-yong’s lunchbox received a great response from the very first day of its opening.

Thanks to the promotion by four major YouTubers, who collectively have 5.2 million subscribers, for the past month.

The porter, who deals with exercise and health, informed us that it’s a healthy diet lunchbox, so we can eat it without worry.

When it became known that the cooking YouTuber Banya Sikgyeong would be cooking in person, people couldn’t help but flock to see.

Moreover, in an era of high prices where the average lunch cost for office workers in Seoul is 12,285 won, the number of office workers seeking 4,000 won healthy lunch boxes far exceeded Baek Seung-yong’s expectations.

“How many people are in front of us?”

“I don’t know.”

“Is it even possible to eat after waiting for 30 minutes?”

“Lunch break is almost over.”

Wow. It’s Cha Ji-chan.”

“Uh!”

Jichan, who was greeting each person waiting in line, approached the group of office workers.

Hello. Thank you for coming. It must be hot, so please have a drink each.

Cha Ji-chan took out Zero Cola and shared it.

“Could it be a photo?”

Ah, yes. Sure.

Cha Ji-chan readily took a photo together and greeted.

Thank you.

“No.” I’m more grateful. And I’m sorry.

“Yes?”

“We made exactly 200 today, so it seems like there will be enough for everyone.” I’m really sorry.

When Cha Ji-chan bent at a right angle to apologize, the group of office workers was taken aback.

It’s a bit disappointing, but seeing a celebrity bow and greet me right in front of my eyes made me not feel like scolding them.

“No.” Well, there’s nothing we can do about it.

Thank you. Enjoy your lunch and keep your passion strong today. Fighting!

Cha Ji-chan smiled slightly and then handed the drink to the next person.

Meanwhile.

“Enjoy your meal.”

“Um…….”

When the customer who had paid for the lunchbox hesitated, Baek Woo-jin blinked.

“Why?” “Would you like some more chopsticks?”

“No.” That is it. I know it’s really rude.

“If you know, don’t do it.”

“Can I touch your cheek just once?”

At the absurd demand, Baek Woo-jin was left speechless.

“No.”

“Just once.” I washed my hands.

“Why does everyone who sees me ask if they can touch my cheek?” “I don’t like it!”

“I’m sorry.”

“That’s enough!” Go!

“I’ve been subscribed for 34 months.”

“What’s 34 months!” Even if it’s 340 months, if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work!

I’m sorry. Because it’s cute.”

“Then there’s nothing we can do about it.”

When Baek Woo-jin offered the ball, the customer lightly pressed it with their finger, smiled, and walked away.

Ha. Really. “Why am I so cute?”

When Baek Woo-jin started joking around, the people waiting to settle their bills chuckled.

“Seriously, don’t go around saying stuff like that.” I’m so embarrassed I could die.

The side dish that was cooked in the rice cooker was washing its hands and making a fuss.

“Yeah.” You must be envious. I want to be cute too, but I’m the only one who’s cute.

“Hehehehe.”

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the absurdity of it all.

When Banchan-yong laughed heartily, the people inside the store started to laugh along, but Baek Woo-jin raised his nose without caring.

“Is it enough to just serve the rice?”

After using up all the prepared egg mixture, Jujiseung washed his hands and asked Banchanyong.

Uh.  Hasn’t Jichan hyung arrived yet?

Banchan-yong looked around.

There were almost no side dishes left in the lunchbox.

Even if I urgently asked someone else for help, everyone was either holding a camera or busy with other tasks.

“There are so many people, so I’m greeting them.”

Writer Kim Min-cheol from the Jimgun Channel revealed the whereabouts of Cha Ji-chan.

“Enough.” I can do it myself.

Jujiseung took his place and packed food into the lunchbox.

With his quick hands, writer Kim Min-cheol, who had spent three hours just packing side dishes into lunchboxes, opened his eyes wide.

“30 left!”

“30!”

When Jujiseung checked the lunchbox and the leftover side dishes and shouted, Banchanyong and Baek Woojin echoed him.

Cha Ji-chan entered the store.

“Why are you so late?”

When Banchan asked, Cha Jichan bowed his head deeply.

“Hey, don’t even mention it.” The police came and asked how many people there were. What’s going on? I was late because I was explaining. Bro, I’ll do it.

“No.” I did it all. Chan-young, please take care of the work. There were a lot of people looking for him, but I couldn’t respond because I was busy cooking.

“Okay.” For the side dishes, let’s switch.

“This is all cooked, so you just need to serve it.” Let it cool down.

“Alright.”

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

3:40 PM.

The business had ended a long time ago, but while greeting the subscribers who came by, it got late.

I couldn’t even give you a lunchbox, but I held on with the thought that I should at least greet you. However, it’s no longer possible.

I sought understanding and closed the door.

“Ah!”

“Oh dear.”

Wails could be heard from all around.

I’ve been out since dawn and worked without sitting down for even a moment, so it’s no wonder I’m exhausted.

I also collapsed right where I was, feeling weak.

Wow. I’m really going to die.

“Are you saying you did this for a whole month?”

“Do you want to take the weekend off?”

“Hehehe.”

They all collapsed after just one day.

“Did you sell everything?”

The monk asked.

Uh. Even the extra portions are all gone.

“Sales must have come in a bit, right?” How much is it?

Cha Ji-chan asked.

“270,000 won deficit.”

Baek Woo-jin answered while lying on the floor.

“What?”

I was startled and asked back loudly.

Cha Ji-chan, equally baffled, asked at the same time.

“I shared the cola, didn’t I?” Even if we sell all our lunch boxes, we still make a profit of 100,000 won.

I said we ended up in the red because we split the canned drinks.

“I worked so hard, and I ended up losing?”

“It wasn’t something you started just for the money in the first place.”

No matter what. Wow, if we do this exactly the same way, how much would it be per month? “An 8.1 million won loss?”

“I should say I donated 8.1 million won.”

“You’re so great, man.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

Everyone is so exhausted that they don’t even have the energy to talk anymore.

“Let’s clean up and go eat.”

“That’s right.”

Everyone knows that it needs to be organized, but no one has stepped up to do it.

It means that I am completely exhausted.

It’s amazing how people in the food service industry manage to get by when even a single day is this tough.

“Let’s eat something delicious for dinner.”

“Agreed.”

I don’t know how they manage to endure, but I’m planning to get through it with a delicious meal.
