Masterpiece

Making Mr. Edison and Mr. Tesla, the two people experience my fame was a very easy matter.

I had the two refugees unpack luggage at the lodging next to the restaurant, then under the excuse of relieving fatigue accumulated from long sea travel roamed various places in London together.

From famous pianist's concert to Thames River boat party, Guy Fawkes fireworks festival.

The two people were also quite high recognition celebrities in America, but seeing the scene of London citizens whistling just seeing me, or crowding to receive signs, or handing various foods couldn't help but be surprised.

In America if only having money one can enjoy upper culture as much as one wants, but fans crowding from all sides like this is a completely different dimension talk.

Literally the life of a super influencer celebrity.

I also roughly experienced similarly in the previous life, but whether because Britain lacks play things sometimes felt particularly severe.

So it didn't even take a few days until the two people were startled and begged saying now I'll believe so please stop.

At this point feeling the difference in power too, as compensation decided to feed one by one the foods I succeeded in implementing in London for a week.

Galbi jjim, beef bulgogi, tripe hot pot, grilled eel, samgyeopsal, jeyuk bokkeum, Western style pork cutlet, from chicken to hamburger or pizza.

In modern one can easily taste as much as wanted anywhere, but in this era menus impossible to even see without going through my hands.

Even modern people if entertained with this degree full course faint.

Mr. Edison completely fascinated here, to the point of loudly declaring if only able to eat this food for life won't return to America.

Well half a joke.

Of course this is only up to Mr. Edison's standard. Satisfying Mr. Tesla whose taste is much pickier was a bit harder.

Mr. Tesla after tasting my fusion tofu dish a few months ago said he'd try eating meat little by little, but whether American meat dishes didn't quite suit the mouth seemed to have returned to vegetarian again.

Honestly America cooking wasn't particularly more delicious than Britain or such.

Just the land wide so crops grow diversely, and thanks to immigrants who flocked from all over the world many opportunities to encounter various dishes.

From the start no refrigerator, no microwave, let alone my electric grinder not even supplied so home cooking all from there.

Except France most countries also average cooking level wasn't high. Just degree of not eating monster dishes like Britain.

Still Mr. Tesla ate well things like galbi jjim or samgyeopsal.

But as much as originally insisting on vegetarian for health reasons, still showing signs of avoiding meat so decided to match that.

I showcased various cakes Miss Edith made with peanut butter, even the business secret Nutella jam. Only then Mr. Tesla also nodded as if satisfied.

But not sufficient. I unconditionally wanted to see his expression of dying from surprise. If doing cooking for long, sometimes an obsession of missing people's praise arises, and such a flame is burning in me now too.

So decided to take out one secret weapon. This time thinking of definitely taking his soul.

What dish would suit his taste?

Fortunately Mr. Tesla wasn't up to complete vegan. 1901 vegetarians, generally consumed even dairy products and eggs.

Lacto-ovo vegetarian.

Meaning a diet distancing meat or fish, but eating dairy products and eggs, people who chose vegetarian for religious reasons also generally followed this method.

From the start if unable to eat dairy products complete vegetarian in the West is practically impossible. Milk enters even bread, right. Really only able to eat salad or fruit then one really dies?

Obtaining gochujang was really heavenly luck.

White rice with steam rising, egg fry cooked golden, and spinach and pumpkin, carrot stir-fried with sesame oil and butterhead lettuce.

Here one spoon of gochujang seasoning seasoned with sugar and soy sauce, vinegar and salt.

Plain rice, savory sesame oil, crispy vegetable texture, egg's softness, and the spicy sweet taste of the seasoning paste.

Although not using special ingredients one bowl of Korean bibimbap was hastily made.

I haven't seen vegetarians who came from the West endure eating this.

In fact even if not necessarily vegetarian, almost haven't seen people who dislike bibimbap.

Although not easy to balancedly contain this much various nutrients in one bowl including fresh vegetables and egg, sometimes even minced meat, and taste diverse too.

"What is this? A very delicious smell is coming?"

"Teacher Durand! Another new dish? Of course I'll take it as giving me one seat too!"

While busily moving in the lodging kitchen, somehow acquaintances gathered one by one.

Miss Edith and Mr. Doyle, and one more person here.

"Jean-Paul Durand! Lately seeing your face is like picking stars in the sky. Tomorrow is the knighthood investiture but leisurely doing cooking here! Newspaper interviews all ended? If doing this just operate the restaurant again! No chicken so very no joy in life that talk!"

After a long time even the Earl of Derby appeared swinging a noble cane.

The reason I could do London tour taking the two people, and even entertain delicious food at the lodging was separate.

As soon as the knighthood investiture article came out, concerned excessive interest of people would gather in advance switched the restaurant to long-term closed state thanks to that.

Giving paid vacation to employees so time arose to process piled up tasks in the meantime.

Directly inspecting the Durand tablespoon process, and also had to process piled up invitations like mountains, and reviewed Durand special hot sauce factory construction. There also couldn't not confirm the meju powder import matter Sir Samuel is promoting.

In fact have to do for my reputation, but Mr. Edison and Mr. Tesla luckily inserted into my external schedule.

Anyway the Earl of Derby is a chicken holic and definitely ate chicken three or four times a week, but already unable to eat for a week so horns fully grown that seemed.

"Come come, Earl, new dish. Sit here for a moment. I'll serve soon."

"New dish...? Ahem, if this much time passed naturally the time to think of new dish recipes has come. Then shall I taste?"

By the way the Earl of Derby, Mr. Doyle, Miss Edith and Mr. Edison, Mr. Tesla sitting so the dining room felt full.

Half the personnel are big sizes?

Will it all enter the mouth? Won't be insufficient, right?

So decided to supplement a bit more. The advantage of bibimbap, if only having rice one can prepare as fast as fast food that also.

Anyway a while later people who witnessed my bibimbap all made puzzled expressions.

"You this is something again? Not curry rice but rice laid under vegetables? There even sunny side up egg?"

I slightly scratched my head.

How should I explain this concept to be easy to understand?

"Yes, well... A food of placing like that and mixing and eating. You know kedgeree, right? Mix similarly with a spoon."

"How? Like this?"

"I'll show so follow the same."

"Like this?"

"No... Just give here."

Unable to watch the earl's clumsy spooning I picked up the spoon and instantly mixed.

"Ah, now I know. Certainly a feeling similar to kedgeree."

In fact in Europe the people most familiar with and eating rice dishes like covered rice without prejudice were Britons.

Due to the influence of Indian colonial history various Indian dishes flooded in and mostly many dishes using rice.

Kedgeree is also one of them, a food of mixing cooked rice, parsley, boiled egg, curry powder with butter or cream and crushing smoked fish etc. and mixing and eating.

Although a somewhat different feeling from bibimbap that directly mixes, but just looking at the appearance after mixing like this similar. Like bibimbap has a reddish light on rice grains thanks to seasoning paste and egg, kedgeree also gave similar color. Whether familiar shape so certainly no rejection reaction seemed.

Like that showing the demonstration once, people following was also quick.

"Done, right? Now eat deliciously."

"Thank you. Just smelling looks like an excellent vegetarian dish. The vegetarian dishes I ate this week seem much more than what I ate all my life! At this point degree wanting to completely move residence this way."

"Tesla, this friend. Only now having such thoughts? I decided so long ago!"

People bickered and pushed bibimbap one mouth each.

And soon everyone's eyes changed to surprise.

"What, this taste?"

"Delicious! Jean this... Made with that oriental hot sauce, right?"

As expected Miss Edith, taste sharp. I nodded.

"Yes, well so."

"Wait, hot sauce? Did you create some sauce again? Hmm, this is really an amazing taste. Strangely can't stop the spoon!"

"For now if swallowing all that entered the mouth and speaking it would be good, Earl."

"Teacher Durand! By any chance this, possible as stall dish too? If selling at stalls clearly will hit big! Preparation also looks easy!"

"Stall? Haven't thought yet, but okay even for stall."

Mr. Edison also moved the spoon and threw one word.

"Embarrassing! Completely different from the expected taste! Even just mixing vegetables and sauce this delicious becomes? This I might have to become vegetarian following Tesla!"

"If becoming vegetarian you can't eat galbi jjim?"

"Ah, that not! I'll cancel the words just now!"

Bibimbap doesn't have the intense impact that draws exclamations like other meat dishes.

But if tasting once, the addictiveness enough to continuously make the hand go while exchanging jokes with each other was sufficient. Mr. Tesla also trembled the body, and unlike stiffening until now started sucking bibimbap at almost drinking speed! So I also nodded in satisfaction.

Fed to the fullest to this degree, for the time being without thinking of fleeing somewhere continuously stick next to me, right? Now that is sufficient!

Although developed the refrigerator at my request, the technology owners are the two people so not falling from around me ultimately benefits me.

But these people, first meeting each other why not awkward?

Honestly Mr. Edison and Mr. Tesla are famous in the science world, but hard for ordinary people to know, and especially America and Britain different countries so not knowing each other more natural.

"Introduction? Well even if not necessarily... If people Teacher Durand entertains even meal here certainly good people, right."

"Hmm, in the situation of receiving meal what importance is introduction? If a bit awkward I'll go out and bring one glass of wine. One glass of wine and one round of cards no better for making friends."

So I decided to formally introduce each other. Anyway people who seem to see often.

As expected the destructive power of fame was different. Rather than Mr. Doyle who learned the two people are inventors Edison and Tesla, the two people who learned Mr. Doyle the author of detective Holmes and super influencer seemed to have received more shock.

"No, you are exactly the author of Holmes! Wanted to meet, but didn't know would really meet coming to London! Jean, how far does your connections extend! But when on earth does the next series come out? Waiting for as much as 10 years! Waiting all my white hair will fall out!"

As expected news not updated, right?

Looking at the reaction clearly even Strand Magazine October issue didn't arrive in America.

And Mr. Edison, hearing the words that the new Holmes is serializing shouted loudly in surprise.

"New work serializing! How can this be! Good coming to London! Only good things continue! Crossing the Atlantic so didn't know at all!"

"Haha... Saying my fan thankful. Please enjoy fun."

But in my thought, if Mr. Doyle learns the two people's inventions clearly would receive much more shock than these are surprised now.

When to inform? Now? How much will be surprised?

Like that while imagining people's reactions inside and giggling, suddenly Mr. Morris barged in.

"Teacher Durand, Chairman Balfour and Sir Samuel, and the Marquess of Salisbury arrived in front of the restaurant."

"Ah, came? I'll go out now."

I answered calmly. Knew would come today but came faster than thought.

And to the names that came out from Mr. Morris's mouth acquaintances were surprised all at once.

"Marquess of Salisbury?! When did you extend hands that far? Hmm?"

"Wait, suddenly? Those busy people came?"

"Yes, I called."

"For what reason...? Tomorrow's investiture matter?"

"No. Well still secret but you'll know soon."

On the other hand as expected those names seemed unfamiliar to Mr. Tesla.

"Chairman Balfour? Marquess of Salisbury? Who are they?"

"Ah, sorry during meal but the two of you have to go together with me right now. The matter I mentioned last time, seems able to process right today. See as people who came to help. Earl of Derby also going together?"

"No! Inserting among guys who seem suffocating just hearing! Don't know what matter you're plotting again but I won't care! I'll eat one more bowl of this excellent dish here! Edith, remembered all the combination of this dish, right? Make again!"

"Yes, Grandfather."

I left the acquaintances at that place and headed to the restaurant taking the bewildered Mr. Tesla and slightly shocked Mr. Edison.

Somehow Mr. Edison has a lot of experience so thought he might have heard those names somewhere.

In the past the place that attempted bribery related to power transmission station and failed was that side? Well, now a matter not particularly related.

Anyway, those people were correct that I called.

Because a few days ago heard a strange talk from a diplomat at a social party.

That J.P. Morgan is trying to urgently summon the two people.

Now a situation one can't just sit still.

So thought of just immediately disclosing to those people who control Britain without even milking.

At least 30 years ahead of now, the masterpiece of modern technology.
