Chapter 126: The Driver
Destination: Myeongdong Hadong Hall, Seoul
The Hedongguan beef soup restaurant, located near the Seoul Church in Myeongdong, is very recognizable and famous in South Korea, and even the signboard is written in Chinese.
This family-oriented restaurant has been open for more than 70 years, and it used to be greeted by an elderly man at the front desk, but now it has been passed on to the next generation.
The restaurant only serves one dish, beef soup or beef rice, which is usually 10,000 won per serving or, better, 20,000 won per serving.
Because there are many companies nearby, there is an endless stream of people eating, and there are many customers who come back, not to mention the taste of beef, and the taste of the soup is thick and mellow, which makes people linger, which is really delicious and pleasant.
Kim Do-jun also listened to what Han Sung-mi said, so he secretly remembered it in his heart.
Since I had time today, I might as well go and taste it, so I hailed a taxi and went straight to Myeongdong.
As soon as he got in the car, Kim Do-jun said a word to the driver's uncle.
"Hello, go to Hadong Pavilion in Myeongdong!"
I thought it was nothing, but who knew that the driver's uncle had been secretly looking at Kim Do-jun from the rearview mirror, grabbing his hair from time to time and thinking, it seemed to be and it didn't seem to be, was it him?
Jin Daojun looked at the funny appearance of the driver's uncle, couldn't help laughing, and said slightly.
"Uncle driver, why do you keep staring at me! Is there anything dirty on my face? ”
Kim Do-joon asked curiously.
The driver hurriedly waved and said.
"No, no, you're too worried, I just think you're quite like an actor. And the more you look at it, the more it looks like it! ”
"Who am I like?"
Kim Dojun knew that the other party might be talking about himself, but he still asked a little mischievously.
"It's the gangster who was shown in the cinema two days ago, it seems to be a Japanese movie, so I'm not sure, to be honest, you really look like the main character!"
While driving the car, the driver flipped the steering wheel in his hand at the same time, and turned around from time to time to say this to Kim Dojun, which seemed a little arrogant!
Kim Do-joon said with a smile after listening to it.
"Uncle Driver. Who said that Koreans can't act in Japanese movies, and if they can speak Japanese, it's over. My name is Kim Do-joon, and I'm the gangster protagonist you said, so it's nice to meet you! ”
After speaking, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand. I wanted to shake hands with the driver, but because of the model, there are safety protection measures, and there is no way to shake hands at all, there is no way. I could only look at the driver and touch my hair in embarrassment.
For safety reasons, the driver and uncle are well protected by safety measures, so Kim Dojun's outstretched hand doesn't know where to hold it.
In fact, Kim Do-joon didn't get angry at all when he heard the driver master say that he was a gangster, on the contrary, he was very happy, at least the role he played has been remembered by some ordinary people, which is a good thing. I'm afraid that after the movie is filmed, after the release, no audience will remember you, and that is the real sadness.
"Really? You're the one starring? I said, "Why is it so similar?" In addition to the hairstyle, oops, you wore a hat, but I didn't expect to pull a star today! ”
After the driver's uncle saw Kim Do-joon take off his hat and reveal his iconic hairstyle, he was sure that he was not mistaken, he was really the person in the movie and was sitting in his car, what a luck!
Kim Do-jun kept bowing his head and said.
"Thank you very much, thank you very much!"
"Mr. Kim Do-joon. Can I ask you to sign it and take a photo by the way? Seriously, my daughter loves you very, very much! There are pictures of you on your phone and on your computer, which I didn't know before. I also had a fight with her, and she cried for a long time, saying that you are his idol, and you want to become a person like you when you grow up. I slowly figured it out, and I never opposed her again, isn't it a good thing that young people have such idols and such goals? ”
The driver's uncle said very emotionally, and his voice gradually lowered, especially when he talked about his daughter, he choked up, it didn't look as relaxed as he said on the surface, and he must have experienced something behind it.
After Kim Do-joon listened, he didn't speak, thinking about what the driver's uncle said.
It's true that I haven't thought about this problem before, I will become someone else's idol, the goal of others' struggle, and young children regard him as a favorite artist, just hoping to grow up like him.
This is an example, this is a role model, this is an idol, but is this motivation or pressure?
Kim Do-joon thought for a while and said.
"Okay! No problem, thank you Uncle driver, when you get to the destination, I'll sign it for you, and take a photo by the way! ”
After speaking, Kim Daojun didn't speak again, looking at the ginkgo biloba that had been floating yellow outside the window, it looked very gorgeous, who would have thought that in autumn they faded away from shyness and offered another kind of charm.
When he arrived at the destination and got out of the car, Kim Dojun hurriedly walked to the side of the driver's uncle, used the driver's uncle's mobile phone, and took a photo with the scissor hand, and then asked.
"Uncle driver, what is your surname?"
"My name is Kim Doo-hwan!"
Kim Dojun nodded after listening, took the pen and notebook handed over by the driver's uncle, and began to write "rustling".
"I wish Uncle Kim Doo-hwan, a happy family, a lot of wealth and blessings, and Kim Do-joon!"
"Thank you, Uncle Driver, I'm leaving, I'll see you next time for a chance!"
After saying that, he carried his bag and bent down slightly to prepare to leave.
"Wait a minute, Daojun, that is my business card, if you need anything in the future, call me directly! Guaranteed to be on call! ”
The driver's uncle didn't understand what star chasing was at all, and when he first saw his daughter like this, he didn't understand it at all.
Since I met Kim Do-jun himself, I slowly understood why Kim Do-jun is so good, from his treatment of people, kind tone, good temper and patience, you can know what a person's character is, maybe this is the character of a gentleman!
"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Driver, I took it! Good bye! ”
I took the name handed over by the driver's uncle, put it in my backpack, waved my hand and left, my stomach was hungry and I had to eat quickly.
Seoul is a more colorful city than any other city in the world, with ever-changing architecture, well-connected roads, and rapidly changing attitudes.
Even in the rapidly changing Myeongdong area of the heart of Seoul, there is a place that has been sticking to one delicious place for 70 years, and that is the Hadong Pavilion, which sticks to the best stewed soup.
Kim Do-joon only asked one person, and the other party told him where the Hadong Pavilion was.
The consistent taste of the stewed soup in Hedong Pavilion comes from the beauty of the soul where the customer comes first.
Kim Do-jun came to the door of the restaurant, looked at the introduction of the store, and made a comprehensive introduction in Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and English, and Kim Do-jun roughly browsed.
Led by President Kim Hee-young, who has been guarding the soup pot of the Hedong Pavilion for 42 years, all employees have shared the joys and sorrows of the Hedong Pavilion for decades.
This is an expression of integrity and honesty that the Hedong Pavilion is proud of, and it wants to use good ingredients and treat customers with the same deliciousness.
We also often see customers bring their sons and grandchildren to the Hedong Pavilion for dinner in order to taste the rare delicacy.
For 42 years, the soup pot of the Hedong Pavilion has been in the charge of its owner, President Kim Hee-young, and has maintained its inherent taste, and has never served any soup or soup, and closed down after selling the prepared items, and in the past 70 years, there has never been a base soup left, which is why it will attract more people and tourists to go to the Hadong Pavilion to taste the food, and even high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Korea are also frequent visitors to the Hadong Pavilion.
After Kim Do-joon entered, he came to the cashier and asked for a beef soup rice, which was a special edition, 20,000 won a piece, and after paying, he found a place to sit down, and after a while, the waiter came over with the prepared beef soup and rice.
After arranging them one by one, Kim Do-jun also found that the restaurant had sent his pickled cabbage and radish kimchi, and salt and green onions were placed on the table, and even the pepper was thoughtfully prepared.
Before taking a seat, he poured the rice into it and helped Kim Do-joon stir it, and even the bowl with beef soup and rice was a pure copper bowl, which looked very ancient and old-fashioned.
Beef soup is mainly made of beef breast, tendon meat, back breast, offal, pork ribs, oxtail, beef leg, etc., stewed together with radish, and when the meat is fully cooked, remove and cut finely, and put it in the soup again.
Then the waiter brought another cup of barley tea and explained to Kim Do-joon that many people will not feel comfortable after eating greasy things, and drinking a cup of warm barley tea can effectively relieve oiliness, and people with weak gastrointestinal function are likely to cause diarrhea and diarrhea if they drink cold water immediately after eating, so the Hedong Pavilion has prepared warm barley tea.
All services here are customer-oriented, intimate, as if coming to their own home, warm and comfortable, without the slightest sense of strangeness.
Kim Do-jun gently took a sip of the soup with a spoon and put it in his mouth to taste it.
"The taste is really good, just the saltiness is moderate!"
Kim Do-jun smacked his lips and whispered, and hurriedly started to move.
"Yikes! Hot, hot, hot! ”
Kim Do-jun said three hot words in a row, covering his mouth, I don't know why, every time I see food, I can't suppress the urge to eat, I have been scalded several times, and I don't know the lesson.
After eating, Kim Do-jun wiped his mouth, touched his stomach, and let out a sigh.
"It's so full!" (To be continued.) )
