Tteokramisu cake.

(Thrilled to receive the very first dessert order)

Tteokramisu and pomegranate slushy.

(She starts making the dessert right away.)

(She cuts the coffee-soaked baekseolgi into smaller pieces.)

(Here comes the key ingredient she learned to make.)

(she puts real chestnuts to add some texture.)

(She adds another layer of baekseolgi.)

(She pipes the chestnut cream one more time.)

(she grates some chestnuts to make chestnut powder!)

(She decorates it with an apple mint leaf...)

You did a wonderful job.

(The first tteokramisu chestnut is ready.)

- You really did a great job today. - They're going to love it.

(He slices smoothly through the soft tteokramisu.)

It's good.

- It's sweet and delicious, right? - It's good.

(The tteokramisu chestnut is completely devoured.)

- Is it good? - Yes. The food is good here.

The chef here is very famous.

- It's true. - Who's this chef, Uncle?

Her name is Lee Young Suk, I think.

Her name is Lee Young Ji.

(Lee Young Suk, a famous chef in Goheung)

By the way, Yu Jin.

The dining room truly feels like a cozy parlor...

- Yes, indeed. - with all the seniors there.

- It has a warm vibe. - Yes.

- Order's up. - Okay.

Small original tteokbokki,

tteokramisu chestnut, and fancy coffee slushy.

I'll do the dishes.

(With no orders for her coming in, Mimi steps up to do the dishes.)

(Young Ji starts making the small original tteokbokki.)

(The village chief, who contributed so much to the successful opening, )

(and his party are getting ready to leave.)

- I can ring you up here. - Can you get their bill?

You had a small portion of original tteokbokki...

And pomegranate slushy too.

Your total comes to 45.9 dollars.

- Are you paying with a card... - The table...

We'll pay for table three too.

Shall I ring you up for table three too?

Please give me a second.

You had a small portion of original tteokbokki...

and tteokramisu chestnut.

Is that right?

- Actually... - We had pollack roe pasta too.

That must be the bill for that table.

(She got it confused with another table.)

Right? I'm sorry.

- Then... - How will you survive in business?

I know, right? What do I do?

(The village chief's table, total: 45.9 dollars)

Your total comes to 72.8 dollars.

I'm sorry about that.

(She has no idea she made a mistake at the register.)

Thank you.

We really enjoyed the food.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Go home safely. Thank you. - Thank you.

So this one was it. It was here.

(She stares suspiciously at the bill.)

(But she never realized she made a mistake.)

One small original tteokbokki is up.

Got it.

Let's do this!

All right.

(1 small original tteokbokki, 1 tteokramisu, 1 coffee slushy)

One small original tteokbokki is up.

You see, our plates are very heavy.

(Dirty plates keep rolling in without a break.)

- Thank you, Mimi. - Don't worry about it.

Thank you so much.

Mimi, let me take over the dishes now.

No, that's okay. Hold on.

Go take a shower. Wait, no. That's not what I meant to say.

Am I...

Am I dirty?

(While Mimi is starting to lose her focus...)

- The pasta is good, isn't it? - Yes, it's tasty.

Right. Everything is good.

Is the entire cast of "Earth Entertainment TV" here?

The whole cast of "Earth Entertainment TV" is here.

- Are all of you here? - I understood her instantly.

All four of us from "Earth Entertainment TV" are here.

But I don't see Mimi.

Mimi is the one who made that pollack roe and clam pasta.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

Mimi made it.

Mimi, they're really enjoying your pollack roe and clam pasta.

- Really? I'm relieved. - Yes.
