God-Given Business Genius - Chapter 122

Exactly one and a half hours later.

I was half-sprawled, completely exhausted.

"......A total of 39 servings."

It was as if I had single-handedly dealt with a group of customers.

"How can you eat more than last time? We've cleaned out everything in the fridge. There's really not even a single egg left. I can't do any more. Really."

As I muttered with a pale face, Sim Chae-yoon smiled and said:

"Ah~! I'm full!"

To think I went through all this trouble just to hear that one sentence. I really can't believe it. I wearily placed the chef's hat I had been wearing on the table.

My whole body is aching, just aching.

"I ate so well! Oh, I did come a bit hungry today, but when the food is delicious, it definitely goes down better. And with you cooking various dishes, I didn't get tired of it~"

Unlike me, who had become haggard, her face was glowing with vitality. How on earth can she eat all this food with that small body? It seems like she ate almost her own body weight.

"Today was a complete personal best! I didn't know I could eat this much. You worked so hard today~!"

-Song Woo-yeon K.O. defeat

-Chae-chae, stop eating already

-Is this really not staged? How can a person eat all that?

-I watched it all live but I still can't believe it;;

-Chae-chae's eat-and-spit controversy completely resolvedㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The chat window was unanimously sympathetic towards me. Ugh. I'm so exhausted that my vision is blurring and I can barely make out the letters.

But I can't collapse here.

I still have menu items to promote!

"You must have room left for dessert, right?"

At my words, Sim Chae-yoon's eyes sparkled.

"Of course. You know there's always a separate stomach for dessert."

"......."

I asked, but when I actually received an affirmative answer, I felt a bit nauseated. Is this really human? It feels like pouring food into a bottomless pit.

"Right, right. You said the new menu here was dessert, didn't you?! I completely forgot while enjoying the food. Hehe."

"I'll make it right away, so please wait a moment."

"Okay~!"

I went into the kitchen and took out the churros dough I had prepared in advance from the now empty refrigerator.

Sigh. I took such a roundabout way to promote this.

'The first one should be classic.'

As I fried the churros in their basic form, a delicious smell quickly rose.

It was the scent of excitement you can smell at an amusement park.

Since it's mainly for takeout, I packaged them in a pretty paper cup.

Thud.

"Here, the first menu item has arrived."

"Wow~!"

Sim Chae-yoon's eyes widened.

"Churros!"

"That's right. It's a food that holds happy childhood memories, isn't it?"

"Amazing! Wow~ I really love these. I've even gone to amusement parks just to eat these!"

To that extent?

Sim Chae-yoon kept exclaiming with sparkling eyes. Glancing at the chat window, the reaction wasn't bad.

-Churros are like a cheat itemㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Just a straight-up cheat key

-Oh that looks delicious

-Mouth-watering

-Chae-chae, do a close-up of the churros before you put it in your mouth

-Is there really room left to eat that??

"Ah~ A close-up? Okay, okay. Here you go."

Sim Chae-yoon held the churros close to the camera, then immediately popped it into her mouth.

-No.

-Ah

-She just ate it before the camera could even focus properly

-Why did you even hold it up if you were going to do that

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

"Wow~!"

Sim Chae-yoon naturally ignored the chaotic chat window and continued with her taste evaluation.

"It's so crispy, sweet, and the cinnamon scent is just right. It's really delicious! Well, of course, it's hard for churros to taste bad. You know, when you eat them at amusement parks, you often get pre-made churros! Slightly cooled churros with a bit of a hard exterior!"

Sim Chae-yoon started speaking rapidly.

"That has its own charm, but... Is it because these were just fried? They're not greasy, just perfectly crispy and delicious. Plus, because they're a bit warm, the sugar crystals on top aren't gritty but half-melted? They don't feel separate in your mouth, but become one and blend perfectly~ Mm. So delicious~"

After eating one or two, she seemed to notice the compartment on the side and asked:

"Oh? But what's this on the side? Chocolate?"

"That's right. If you dip it in the chocolate, it tastes different. Dip it in the chocolate once, then in the sprinkles on the side, and it's also good for taking pictures."

For a young target audience, Instagram-worthy visuals are a basic requirement.

"Oh~ It's pretty!"

After dipping it once in chocolate and once in sprinkles, a beautiful churro that looked like it came from Disneyland was completed.

"Now for the taste... Wow! It's really sweet! It's an intense chocolate flavor!"

"If it wasn't, the chocolate would be overpowered by the churros taste."

"I think people who don't like sweet things might have mixed feelings about this? But since this is optional, you can just eat the churros alone. Anyway, for my taste, this chocolate is delicious!"

Sim Chae-yoon scraped the chocolate container with the churros as if she was about to lick it clean with her tongue.

As she kept popping them in one by one, the churros soon ran out. I knew this would happen.

I took out some churros I had fried earlier and set aside, topped them with ice cream, and presented the second menu item.

"Here's the second menu item. Ice cream churros."

"Oh my~!"

-A true connoisseur, I agree

-Delicious thing + Delicious thing = Super delicious thing

-This can't fail

-It's impossible for this not to be delicious, for real

The combination of warm churros and cool ice cream is foolproof.

"There are various ice cream flavors, but I recommend the basic vanilla flavor the most."

"Ah, this is really cheating!"

Good. They say familiar tastes are the most powerful, so this shouldn't fail either.

"The next one has a unique dough, so I'll fry it while you're eating this. And this is the last menu item, okay? Even if you ask for more, I can't give you any. Really."

"That's a shame."

Despite Sim Chae-yoon's regretful words, I shook my head firmly. No. Any more and I'll collapse.

I hurried into the kitchen and took out the secret dough.

'I was surprised when I heard Jae-ha's idea.'

I had seen it once in the distant future, but to see it in this era... The evaluation of him as an idea bank ahead of his time was spot on.

'Now's the time.'

I took out the churros at just the right moment and plated them with a specially prepared sauce.

Then I placed it in front of Sim Chae-yoon, who was just putting the last spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.

"Huh?"

I saw Sim Chae-yoon's eyes widen in surprise at the unexpected visual.

"The churros......"

Yes, you're surprised, aren't you? I could see the chat window rapidly scrolling up.

"The churros are black?!"

-The visual is intense

-Whoa

-What is this

-Lost my appetite

-You didn't burn the churros, did you?

-Looks burned

-Rather than burned, how should I put it, it's a slightly different black

"Haha. It's interesting, isn't it?"

"I think this is the first time I've seen black food other than jajangmyeon. It can't be jajang flavored churros. What on earth is this?"

"Would you like to try it?"

At my encouragement, Sim Chae-yoon looked at the black churros with a very suspicious gaze.

"Well, it's not that I don't trust you, CEO-nim. Is it squid ink churros? Something like that? I have another filming after this, so I can't have my tongue turn black."

"Hahaha. Don't worry and try it quickly."

At my urging, Sim Chae-yoon seemed to hesitate for a moment before gently picking it up with her fingertips.

Then she closed her eyes tightly and popped the churros into her mouth.

Crunch!

After one bite, she covered her mouth with both hands and exclaimed.

"Wow!"

"You can tell what flavor it is, right?"

"Yes! I knew right away!"

Extremely excited, she stomped her feet in place and shouted the answer.

"Oreo churros! Right?"

"That's correct."

This was the secret weapon.

Black churros topped with white sugar powder, and a dipping sauce that recreates the taste of the white cream between Oreo cookies.

"If you dip it in this, you'll be able to tell even more accurately."

"Oh! That's right. It really tastes like that. But it feels like a slightly modified version in churros form?"

Sim Chae-yoon did a close-up of the Oreo churros, filling the screen.

"Look at this. The color is interesting, isn't it? The visual is unique, and I think this would be really delicious with ice cream! I highly recommend it to Oreo lovers too. You're asking if it's just chocolate flavor? Hmm~ It's similar but slightly different. I think it's more accurate to say it tastes more like Oreo than chocolate."

As Sim Chae-yoon rapidly shared her impressions, the chat window heated up.

-That's interesting

-Wow

-Looks delicious?

-Chae-chae's speed of truth

-Look how fast she talks when eating something delicious

-We know it's delicious, so calm down a bit

-When does the test store officially open?

-Please open in other regions too, please

-I know how to eat churros too.......

The response seems successful to this extent. Inquiries were flooding in from everywhere about when it would open and if they could eat this when they visit.

"You can check the details on our The Song website. The official opening is from next week, so please show a lot of interest~"

"Even though I ate until my stomach was about to burst, it's so delicious that I can eat more. CEO, are there no more Oreo churros?"

"......?"

Feeling ominous, I turned around to see that the Oreo churros had already run out. No way, she ate all of this already?

There was more than half left until just before I made that promotional announcement to the chat window.

-Chae vacuum cleaner

-It was there, but now it's gone.

-Disappeared in an instant, didn't it?

-Just instantly deleted

-Ah Song Woo-yeon's expression looks super dumbfounded

-Understandably so

-You were surprised by our Chae-chae's eating speed, weren't you?

-Our number one streamer who's not ashamed anywhere

"......."

"Heeng."

As I stared blankly in disbelief, Sim Chae-yoon sent a pitiful gaze like Puss in Boots.

"...There's really just a little bit of dough left. Should I fry that for you?"

"Yes!"

Seeing her beaming face, I once again raised my heavy body and headed to the kitchen.

What a frightening person.

Only after experiencing the power of a mukbang YouTuber firsthand like this was I able to end the broadcast.

Whether it should be called fortunate or unfortunate.

"Hello?"

-CEOOO! Our video went viral again!

Sim Chae-yoon shouted as soon as she answered the phone.

-We ranked first in instant trending! The view count is really good too!

The plan was successful, and the promotional effect was significant.

"It seems so."

I replied with a smirk.

In my line of sight, there was a long line of people waiting for the test store to open.

Test store,

Official opening.
