(Episode 94)
Thank you.
Did you have a good time?
We had such a great time.
It'll be the most unforgettable memory of my life.
How unforgettable?
What can you not forget forever?
It's a secret.
Everyone's honeymoon is...
an unforgettable memory to them.
Yong Goo and I visited nice places and had a lot of good food.
We also planned our lives.
We had a wonderful time.
How did you plan your lives together?
We'll have a lot of cute daughters and sons.
Please do that.
Don't mind the gender and just have five kids.
Who will raise the five kids?
We're not going to ask you.
No matter how prepared you are, there'll be hard times in marriage.
Remember how much you love each other...
and go through hard times together.
Okay.
Okay!
See? I could make a good officiant.
I was better than Mr. Lee, right?
You can't really make an officiant...
because of your looks.
You look too intimidating to be an officiant.
Is that so? Will I scare the guests away?
Pil Sun.
My daughter-in-law.
Thank you.
I love you.
I love you too, Mother.
Come on in.
How was your first night together?
It went well. That's why I'm here.
How did it go? Just tell me.
How can you ask that?
You're too young for that.
What? Did you say I'm too young?
You're quite adamant about it.
If you want to know how our honeymoon went,
you should wait and see.
A honeymoon is not some task. You can't do it well or badly.
So just wait.
What should I wait for?
To see if you have a cute baby or not?
Someone might hear you.
You can't say it because it's R-rated?
What do you mean?
Are you referring to a ring?
An 18k gold ring? A 14k gold ring?
That's about the quality of gold.
They have different proportions of gold.
What do you mean by R-rated, then?
It has become a completely different room.
Everything is sparkling and new in the room.
Mother got us nice furniture as well.
Let's live happily ever after here.
Okay.
Thanks to your blessings,
we had a good time.
You didn't have to come all the way here. You must be tired.
It's just a small gift.
What are you talking about? Thank you for getting us a gift at all.
Thank you.
We'll cherish each other and have a happy life together.
Of course. You'll live happily together.
I can tell.
Can you tell by looking at them?
I'm a teacher. I have that talent.
You'll make a happily married couple. I can tell too.
Then, we'll see you again at the Diner.
Okay. You must feel tired. Go get some rest.
- Go home safely. Thank you. - Bye.
This is the right moment to say I'm content.
I feel like I've completed a big task in my life.
Good work.
Ma'am.
Are you going to stay up all night here?
Oh, dear.
How annoying.
Your mother can't come as she has to watch the store.
I love how I'm cooking right next to you.
I love it too.
Can you give it a taste?
It's delicious.
You're better than your mother.
- Really? - Yes!
You're so much better.
Is it because you're a cook?
Is it because it was made by the beautiful Da Jung?
Mang Soon,
I love the Diner family.
They all love you too.
I made such a big mistake.
How can they still love me for who I am?
It's because we're family. We are.
You know that.
Yong Goo came to see me...
and said it wasn't my fault in such a sweet way.
That gave me the courage to come back out.
He loved you so much since you were little.
You fought for him, saying he was not a fool.
He told me that so many times, calling you cute Da Jung.
I'm so happy he got married to Pil Sun.
They will live happily with everyone's blessing.
- Of course. - Definitely.
Did you leave the Diner to Da Jung and Mang Soon?
I wasn't a big help.
Don't you have to make up your mind by now?
What do you mean?
About Oh Bok and Da Jung.
I should wait to see which school he gets into.
What if he fails? What's so bad about not going to college these days?
What's the rush?
It's not the time yet.
With your approval, they can feel comfortable while dating.
They already seem comfortable enough without my approval.
Don't worry.
Let's go eat.
You all worked hard today.
It's not much, but I hope you like it.
What are you talking about? It's a lot.
Da Jung is a great cook. Try it.
Is that so?
Then, let me try...
the dishes my daughter made.
If I can have a granddaughter-in-law like Da Jung,
I could die today without regrets.
You're quite greedy.
You said the same about Pil Sun too.
Did I?
While cooking with her, I realized you were no match for her.
She was so nimble and learned quickly.
I couldn't help but covet her as my granddaughter-in-law.
I know I'm not a good cook.
We need at least one good cook in the family.
You've been coveting her even before that.
Okay. Don't be angry.
I'll stop the coveting at some point.
Se Jin, don't eat that. I made it.
I'll give it to my daughter-in-law.
Pil Sun, try this.
No. I will eat it.
With jokes aside, Da Jung is such a good cook.
It's better than I expected.
This chamnamul is so delicious.
I'm sorry, but it's made by me.
I knew it. It had a hint of a master.
Who made this, then?
Yong Goo, give it a try. I made that.
Really?
What was that?
It was so delicious I fainted for a moment.
If I don't get into college in the winter,
how about I open the second branch of the Diner?
- With whom? - With Da Jung.
- Who said you could? - Da Jung said.
You're getting carried away now.
Stop eating and get out. That's too much pressure.
Why would you stop my precious grandson from eating?
The only joy of his life is eating.
Help yourself, my precious boy.
Right. I'll be your precious boy forever.
Come on. Oh Bok.
- You must go to college, okay? - All right.
I'll go to a teachers' college.
I'm not sure if they'll welcome you with open arms.
If it goes well, my son-in-law and I will be teachers together.
Who are you calling your son-in-law?
By the way,
I have some bad news.
Gyung Soo wanted me to tell you this after Yong Goo's wedding.
Young Shin's father already passed away.
Really?
Sometimes, too much consolation can be overwhelming,
so don't mention anything unless Young Shin brings it up.
Poor thing.
I guess she won't get to meet her father.
It's still so cold by the beach.
Is it because it's night?
Of course, it's still cold.
It's worse because of the wind.
You should go to the room and sleep.
Are you going to stay up all night here?
If she sees me when she comes out in the early morning,
she'll know how desperate we are.
Then, I want to stay here too.
I can't believe how cold it is.
I feel like my bones are shaking too.
My clothes are too thin.
You'll feel better soon with this.
You should've come earlier and eaten with us.
It's already been three days.
I came here because I thought they'd be back by now,
but I guess they're going around the whole country to find abalone.
I guess you really do like Young Shin.
It's like someone sobbed at a funeral and suddenly asked who has died.
Did you just realize that?
You'll have so many opportunities to meet great people when you graduate.
I don't need them.
Well, you like lavish things, right?
Meet a lavish person and live a lavish life.
Why doesn't anyone understand my feelings?
That's because you're just saying what you want.
You need to express your feelings in a way that the other person will appreciate.
Ever since you passed the high school equivalency test,
you're lecturing too much.
Well, my love has succeeded.
Has it succeeded?
- Can't you tell? - Geez.
Haven't you frozen to death yet?
The ocean winds are worse than you think.
How many days have you been here?
You'll die if you keep that up.
Here.
Ma'am, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Remove the intestines from the abalone flesh...
and make cuts half a centimeter apart on the top.
Slice the beef into thin pieces,
remove the stem of the shiitake mushroom, and chop it into pieces.
The marinade is a tablespoon of soy sauce, two-thirds of a teaspoon of sugar,
a teaspoon each of minced garlic and sesame oil,
and some pepper mixed well.
Place the marinated beef on the bottom of the pan...
and place the abalone on top.
Then, season the broth with pure soy sauce and pour it into the pan.
Cook it on high heat, and when it boils, reduce to low heat.
When the abalone is done, add peeled ginkgo nuts and cook it more.
Place an abalone in each abalone shell,
and then add shiitake mushrooms and beef into the abalone shell.
Finally, it is finished by adding one or two ginkgo nuts.
Briefly blanch the prepared mussels in boiling water.
Slice the beef finely,
and slice the ginger and garlic thinly too.
The ingredients of the paste for 150 g of mussels and 30 g of beef...
are a tablespoon of soy sauce, half a tablespoon of sugar,
half a cup of water, three centimeters of white scallions,
two cloves of garlic, and one piece of ginger.
Add the beef and the prepared sauce to the pan and turn up the heat to a boil.
When the sauce boils, add the mussels and simmer it on low heat.
While it is cooking, evenly distribute the sauce...
to ensure even seasoning.
When the sauce is reduced to approximately three tablespoons,
mix in the starchy water...
and add sesame oil for shine.
Plate the finished honghapcho...
and spread pine nut powder all over.
The second dish is seafood.
We have honghapcho and gungjungjeonbokjjim.
Please have a taste.
What are the results this time?
The judges said Young Shin's gungjungjeonbokjjim...
had a rich yet unobtrusive taste, with a harmony...
of savory beef and abalone so fresh that they could taste the sea,
and Aunt Sook Jung's honghapcho had a refined and clean flavor.
Three judges said Young Shin's jeonbokjjim is tastier,
and one judge said Aunt Sook Jung's honghapcho is tastier.
This time, Young Shin won three-to-one.
Then, with this, both of you have won once.
What will be the next dishes?
I'm thinking of making hobakseon.
Mine is dubuseon.
I'm looking forward to the final round.
She barely won.
Young Shin won't just give up.
It's one-to-one.
This is so suspenseful.
By the way, who are those people?
I think our unmanned cafe is fascinating,
as there are a lot of customers like them nowadays.
They ask a lot of questions too.
They're coming over, as you said. Explain it to them.
Can I help you?
What is this?
I can't believe she beat a secret recipe. She's so despicable.
Did you think she'd just give up?
I lost because I chose honghapcho.
No matter how good you prepare mussels, how could they beat abalone?
I was overconfident in trusting the recipe book.
With it being hobakseon versus dubuseon,
you will need to use vegetables and tofu...
as main ingredients instead of lavish ingredients,
so it'll be a true battle over cooking ability.
Don't worry.
It was just one loss.
Really?
What a relief!
Mrs. Choi's and my fates are on the line in the last round.
Mrs. Choi said she'd leave the restaurant if she loses.
She really is risking everything on that recipe book.
If I lose,
I said I'd leave you forever.
Really?
Tofu?
The tofu in the village up the road is the best.
Anyone in the country would taste it and say...
it's as good as any.
Is it the place I sometimes get tofu residue from?
They've been making hand-made tofu for three generations.
The old man makes it the old way,
so the tofu tastes terrific, although it looks rough.
You should buy the tofu in the early morning of the competition.
Everyone will be amazed,
thinking this is what tofu is supposed to taste like.
Thank you, Mang Soon.
We only use tough soybean.
The first thing is to soak the soybean.
Soak it for 12 hours in winter...
and eight hours in the summertime.
Since you say it's for an important occasion,
I will grind it in millstone.
It tastes different from one ground with a machine.
You'll know it when you try it.
Thank you. I will never forget your kindness.
To grind the soybean in millstone,
you have to keep adding water from the soaked soybean.
The ratio of soybean and water should be around two-to-three.
Try it.
Thank you.
So this is how proper tofu tastes like.
Do you crush the tofu?
Put crushed tofu with meat, then mix it evenly in the sauce.
That way, it'll be seasoned evenly.
You spread it, then steam it.
That's right.
And put the garnish on top prepared in advance to steam.
I like it best when I'm cooking with you.
Thanks to Mrs. Choi,
I got to cook with you again.
Did you say that you'll leave me...
when you lose the competition?
Mrs. Choi had me agree on that condition.
After finding out that Sook Jung is my birth mother,
I've lost my peace in life.
Mr. Jung.
Before I met her,
I didn't really know what it feels to be angry.
Anger...
can ail your mind.
That's a scary thing.
If she harassed me,
I might not have been angry.
I would've just given up.
But because she harasses you,
I felt angry.
Mr. Jung.
I'm sorry.
You shouldn't tell me that.
I'm sorry to you about so many things.
I feel so sorry that I can't pull myself together.
Whatever happens tomorrow,
we'll make a delicious dubuseon today.
After time passes, we'll think of this evening.
We made...
a tofu dish together back then.
Do you predict that we'll be parting?
I'm not predicting it but getting myself ready.
Because you're someone precious that I can't lose.
I ask myself what'll happen if I lose you,
and I get myself ready.
Mr. Jung.
Tomorrow,
I'll put everything on the line and do my best.
I'll give it my all.
Cut only the meat off the chicken and chop finely.
Wrap the tofu in cloth and drain by pressing it with something heavy.
Put it on the cutting board, and starting from one edge,
crush it finely with a knife.
Soak shiitake mushroom and remove the stem.
Soak rock tripe and trim it, then slice each one.
Cut the shredded red pepper into three-centimeter lengths...
and cut pine nuts in half.
Slice the white and yellow egg garnish as well.
Put tofu with meat, add sauce, and mix evenly.
Lay a damp cloth and spread the meat so that it is one-centimeter thick.
Shape it into a square.
Then add enough shiitake mushroom, sliced garnish, shredded red pepper,
rock tripe, and pine nut.
Cover it with a damp cloth again and press lightly.
Put this in a steamer and steam for ten minutes.
When it's done, cut it into bite-sized squares.
It can be had with mustard or chojang.
Cut zucchini into four-centimeter lengths and make a cross-shaped cut.
Blanch it in boiling water with salt.
Put finely minced beef...
with shiitake mushrooms that have been soaked and sliced.
Season it evenly with sauce for the meat.
Wrap the blanched zucchini with a dry cloth to remove water.
Fill in the cut with seasoned beef...
and shiitake mushrooms.
Season broth with salt and pure soy sauce and boil,
then add stuffed zucchini.
Turn the heat down...
and pour soup once in a while so that it's seasoned evenly.
When the zucchini is lightly cooked,
add sliced rock tripe on top and steam thoroughly.
Plate the hobakseon and add sliced egg garnish,
shredded red pepper, and pine nuts to finish.
It looks very appetizing.
It's too pretty to eat.
The last dish we've prepared...
is hobakseon and dubuseon. Please try it.
What are the results?
We didn't expect this. The results are surprising.
(A Good Supper)
I have unbelievable news.
You wouldn't find anything that's more unbelievable.
I'd say you heard it wrong.
Do you like Mr. Jung that much?
Sometimes, you have no choice over who you love.
I'll be on your side whatever happens.
Didn't you steal the booklet anyway?
What's the point in winning with a stolen booklet?
I left the Royal Palace forever.
I felt so sorry to my mom.
I thought no daughter would be like me.
