Ch.160160. Michelin 3-Star Chef

“Oppa. Who is that person that they’re giving 10 billion won to?”

Kim Sujeong hadn’t heard much about it either when she was brought along.

At most, she was told that this person was essential for the farm and that she should step in if I started stuttering or got caught up in the pace. That’s why she was brought along.

So naturally, Kim Sujeong, who had been watching, couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Someone who will set up our farm.”

“Are they someone special?”

“They don’t need to be special. They just need to be to my liking.”

“I guess so… but she seems like a really fun unni. I approve!”

She doesn’t bring up anything specific about spending 10 billion won.

Perhaps Kim Sujeong has gotten used to my spending habits by now.

Either way, it’s my money to spend, so it doesn’t matter whether she cares or not.

“Did you rent the restaurant?”

“Yes. I booked it for a week starting tomorrow. I want to prepare ingredients and practice a bit. The Farming Company website should be up today, so we need to open ticket sales.”

“The price?”

“500,000 won per person. What do you think?”

“Sounds good.”

An omakase meal for 5 million won per person is probably a price that exists nowhere else in the world.

There might be food sold at outrageous prices to create buzz, but there’s a clear difference between whether people will actually consume it or not.

But I thought the price wasn’t bad.

After all, prices are determined by the boundary between supply and demand.

The world’s only blood eel meat dish.

Moreover, dishes made directly by Kim Sujeong, who has SS-grade cooking skills and purchased several recipes specifically for this purpose.

Not just one or two, but several courses, and while it’s not exactly an aphrodisiac, there are recipes that include the virility-enhancing properties of eel, so those who eat it might experience some temporary effects.

“People coming to buy the fans will have brought plenty of money anyway, so we might as well squeeze out a bit more.”

Besides, while the taste of the food is important, from the perspective of an experience that no one else can have, VIP members won’t care much whether it costs 5 million or 10 million won.

If they can’t even buy the fan, the hundreds of thousands of won they spent on airfare to fly to Korea from distant countries would be wasted anyway, so anything they can do would be a consolation.

I was looking forward to it.

Just how many suckers are there in the world?

And I couldn’t help but be excited about a world where these suckers’ actions aren’t simply foolish but become something that others envy.

The website, which had been commissioned somewhere, was made quite simple yet elegant.

They said they would operate it by adding categories as things developed, and for now, they made it so that only VIP members of Gwangjin Distribution and VVIP corporate members could log in.

The name was “Farmings.”

I hadn’t really thought of any other name.

I deliberately made it similar to “Hunters” to make it feel familiar, and there was also a space to check what items appeared during logout, as well as a community where visitors to Farmings could chat.

It would be nice if it became a space for active communication like Hunters, but it was more of a simple space for discussing content related to me.

There was a VIP-exclusive omakase ticketing page.

The price was 5 million won.

With a 10% service fee and 10% tip, you had to pay 6 million won for exactly three time slots.

You could purchase tickets for the blood eel omakase at 7 PM, 8 PM, and 9 PM on the auction day.

The issue wasn’t the price.

Even though the website had just opened, Gwangjin Distribution was so famous, and they pushed auction information related to the fans from Gwangjin Distribution to Farmings, so people had to check there. Articles quickly appeared, but rather than the enormous price, what became a hot topic was the condition required to purchase at that price.

– 6 million won omakase. But the cost to enter the omakase is 10 billion?

– VIP-exclusive omakase opens!

– Is this omakase worth 6 million won?

– Dishes prepared by an SS-grade chef personally handling A-grade monster ingredients. What is its true value?

With rapidly spreading articles, people’s attention was quite focused.

But we had an even more effective means of promotion.

Our family gathered around the dining table at home.

Mom. Dad. Me.

And in an unfamiliar setup, Kim Sujeong stood in the kitchen wearing a chef’s hat.

“Hello, everyone! Today, our SS-grade new chef is filming to promote the blood eel omakase! Nice to meet you! I’m Kim Sujeong, farmer-hunter’s sister, manager, and SS-grade chef!”

*clap clap clap*

Kim Sujeong spoke cheerfully to the camera while Mom and Dad gave monotonous applause.

I didn’t even clap.

If it had been live, the response would have been quite good, but since Mom and Dad were appearing, we had to blur their faces, so we just went with a recorded version.

We filmed the cooking process, and the table was filled with blood eel dishes.

Since it was omakase, the dishes came out in order, but they were prepared so quickly that they soon filled the entire table.

It’s a bit different from typical omakase.

It couldn’t be helped because of the SS-grade cooking ability.

The reason omakase dishes typically come out slowly is partly to give time to savor the taste, but also because it takes time to prepare multiple dishes at once.

But Kim Sujeong has the ability to drastically reduce that time, so there’s no need to wait.

There wasn’t much specific information about omakase anyway.

And if serving whatever you want is omakase, then this is omakase too.

It had the feel of a new chef’s style.

But it wasn’t bad.

“Mmm. This is delicious.”

“Right, Mom? I’m good, aren’t I?”

“Our daughter is ready for marriage.”

“No way. No marriage. I have too much to do. What do you think, Dad?”

“Delicious. It’s delicious.”

“Hehe. This is worth 6 million won per person. Mom and Dad, you’re living well because you have good children.”

Starting with blood eel rice bowl, then grilled blood eel, seasoned blood eel, blood eel soup, blood eel hot pot.

Despite all containing blood eel, the dishes, portioned for tasting, went down well without becoming tiresome.

“Boss, is it good?”

Finally asking me, I gave a thumbs up to the camera.

“Quality ingredients really make a difference.”

Since this was a promotional video, there was no need to force criticism of Kim Sujeong.

I couldn’t say it was delicious if it wasn’t, but it truly was tasty.

How could it not be?

The ingredient being blood eel goes without saying, and while having Kim Sujeong as the chef might be a minus factor, she now has SS-grade cooking ability, so good ingredients + skilled chef.

It would be a crime if it didn’t taste good.

I thought this would be worth trying even for VIPs.

In fact, by the end of the meal, almost all of the numerous dishes on the table were empty.

No editing.

The eating video was uploaded in its clean, full version.

“Mmm. Freaking delicious.”

Having memories of eating grilled eel both with and without the SS-grade cooking skill, I could perfectly compare.

There is a difference.

You might think there wouldn’t be much difference in grilling, but there definitely is.

My favorite blood eel, which is delicious even plain, combined with SS-grade cooking made me forget about the video and truly enjoy the meal.

“Burp.”

That was satisfying.

And this video was uploaded to my YouTube channel titled [6 Million Won Omakase Mukbang].

– LOLOLOLOL

– Eating like it’s so delicious;;

– That’s 6 million won? Looks like something you could get at a local eel restaurant for 60,000 won.

– Wow. So that’s the talked-about 6 million won omakase.

– SS-grade chef for real?

– ㅠㅠ If only it were combat ability..

– National power-level chef LOLOL

– SS-grade, 6 million won seems fair

– I want to go eat but I’m short 5.97 million won..

ㄴ You need a VIP membership to go there, 10 billion won LOL

– Any plans to release meal kits for poor people?

– I’d like to taste even the leftover scraps.

– It does look freaking delicious;;;

The comments on the video were generally positive.

Since it was on my YouTube channel and I had a good image, the comments were nice, but in reality, there wasn’t much promotional effect.

After all, VIP members needed to be interested.

Three time slots.

With 10 seats per slot, the number of remaining tables needed to decrease for someone to take the first step and make a payment.

After half a day of quiet, the omakase tickets started selling with Kim Sujeong’s scream, who had been refreshing the page all that time.

“Kyaa!!! First time slot sold out!!”

And by the time I woke up the next morning, they were already sold out.
