Chapter 72

"Boss... But there's 'AMUSE' written on this food truck?"

Shin Yuwon replied boldly.

"I had it custom-made."

"Eh? You can paint a borrowed car?"

"Of course, it's ours."

"Eh? You bought this?"

"Yes, I bought it."

"......A Mercedes?"

"Do you not like it?"

"No, I do! It's amazing!"

To be precise, it was the result of "Legal Replication."

Shin Yuwon initially planned to rent it.

But when he went to rent a food truck,

'No, it's shorter than the Panamera? There's not much use for legal replication, but should I use it here?'

...such a situation arose.

He also confirmed that the price for a single use of "Legal Replication" at the "Shop" was only 2,000 Glory.

He wanted a pretty truck for Amuse.

There were also quite a few foreign car models that could be converted into food trucks.

'Let's splurge!'

He finally drew a new car.

Then, for several days, he went back and forth to a tuning shop to equip it with coffee truck-specific facilities.

That's how the 'Going Amuse' was born.

"Isn't it cool?"

"It's awesome."

"Since it's ours, you can use it as you like."

"Wow, amazing."

"You can even use it as a side job by the Han River on your days off."

"Hehe, what are you talking about?"

"Ah, Miss Lee. And look at this."

Shin Yuwon took out a banner from the side of the truck and unfolded it. It was meant to be hung at the top of the food truck.

[If there had been cold brew at Wihwado, there would have been no need to retreat!]

He also took out a signboard.

Under a photo of Lim Hee-ju in a dramatic pose, there was a message.

[Supporting the cast and crew of <Wihwado Retreat> - Lim Su-jeong]

Lim Su-jeong's face turned bright red.

"What is this, Boss!"

"Since we're providing the coffee for free, we can write whatever we want, right?"

"Free? But my mother said she would cover the costs."

"No, I'll cover the costs. I'm very grateful for your help at the grand opening."

"Wow, but why did you write my name...?"

"Employee welfare?"

Shin Yuwon climbed into the driver's seat and entered the destination into the navigation system.

The historical drama set at Mungyeong Saejae.

Distance: 184km, Estimated time: 2 hours and 26 minutes.

It was going to be a long journey.

"Alright, let's go!"

Still, this was the first time they had gone on an outing outside the cafe as a group since they went to buy kitchenware.

Everyone was in a travel mood.

They played their favorite music.

They enjoyed the forest scenery.

They ate delicious food at the rest stops.

And they arrived at the historical drama set in a lighthearted manner.

"Boss, it's been a while. It must have been a long trip, right?"

Queen Mother, Lim Hee-ju, was there to greet them in tracksuit.

"Oh, the coffee truck looks great. Are you doing this now? What's this, you even wrote our Su-jeong's name? You're so thoughtful."

Lim Hee-ju smiled widely as she looked at the signboard.

Shin Yuwon felt a good omen, as if the "Letter of Luck" was working.

"Manager Kim, go and announce to everyone that an amazing coffee truck has arrived."

As always,

the good omen became reality.

The first to rush over were the staff.

They took off their wide-brimmed hats and said,

"Hello, we're from the art team. Can we have three cups, please?"

"Sure, wait under the shade. They'll be ready soon!"

Cold brew was perfect for outdoor filming.

Existing coffee trucks usually made coffee on-site, which took a long time to extract and wasn't of high quality due to power and machine limitations.

It was more about making people feel special and providing a taste of real coffee instead of canned coffee on outdoor sets.

But we were different.

We put ice in takeout cups.

We poured a certain amount of cold brew concentrate from the ice box into the cups, and then added cold water in a 1:6 ratio to complete the drink.

It only took 30 seconds to make one cup.

Even for three cups, it was just a matter of setting up multiple cups, so it was a one-minute job!

We handed over the cold coffee cups, which were covered in condensation.

"Art team, here are your three cups!"

"Oh, they're already here?"

"Yes, enjoy them."

The sun was slowly rising, and it was a scorching hot day with no breeze.

The staff, drenched in sweat, quickly took their cups and greeted Lim Hee-ju.

"We'll enjoy them! Thank you!"

Under the parasol held by her manager,

Lim Hee-ju waved her hand.

"Oh, I didn't ask for this. It's because it's hot, and my daughter insisted on coming."

Lim Hee-ju pointed to the 'Lim Su-jeong' written on the signboard, and the art team staff quickly greeted Lim Su-jeong.

"Wow, what a filial daughter. Enjoy it, daughter!"

"Enjoy it!"

Then, unable to bear the heat, they put their mouths to the straws and sipped.

"Wow! What is this?"

"Wow, it's so delicious!"

"Hey, sister! What is this, it's so delicious."

The exclamations came all at once.

Then followed a moment of silent sipping.

"Hehe, isn't it good? Who made it?"

Lim Hee-ju sipped her coffee and smiled.

The staff, like ants, drank the coffee to the last drop and smacked their lips in satisfaction.

"Wow, it's so good..."

"It's so delicious..."

"My head is buzzing, but I want more."

Then they started looking at me.

Hehe, I knew they would.

"Staff, would you like another cup?"

"......Really? Can we have more?"

I heard that usually, coffee trucks provide one cup per person, and only two cups for actors and key staff.

But not us.

We would provide as much as they wanted.

"Of course. You can have as much as you want. Would you like more?"

"Yes! One more cup... You guys want some too? Three more cups, please!"

We could make six cups with 300ml of concentrate!

We brought 130 or 140 bottles, having spent days extracting cold brew.

"Sure, please wait a moment!"

"Ah, this coffee truck is really great. Haha."

I knew the reaction would be good, but it was even better.

After all, filming outdoors in such weather must be tough. They should at least be able to enjoy a cool coffee.

I took out the concentrate from the fridge and gave a thumbs up to Lim Su-jeong, who was sitting next to me. She couldn't hide her joy and smiled brightly.

"Thank you so much, Boss..."

"What? What did I do? Put the ice in quickly."

"Ah, okay!"

That way, we quickly made three more cups and handed them over.

The art team staff were as excited as children getting balloons at an amusement park.

"Thank you, we'll enjoy it!"

"I'm glad I came first, hehe. I'll brag to the props team."

"Boss, it's so delicious! Good job!"

They each held a cup of coffee, put their hats back on, and returned to the set.

At the entrance of the traditional set, Choi Pil-soo was coming back.

He had delivered about 10 bottles of concentrate to busy actors and staff who couldn't come here.

"Pil-soo, it's hot. Come in quickly..."

But.

It wasn't like the Pied Piper of Hamelin or anything.

Seeing the royal procession approaching, guided by the old gentleman of Milan, I couldn't continue speaking.

"Hehe, Boss. I think I have a talent for sales. Everyone tried a little and now they want more."

As he said,

the main figures of Joseon's founding were approaching with eager faces.

I had met some of them at the grand opening of the Shinchon branch, but with the proper historical drama setting, it felt like I had stepped into a TV show.

"Oh, what's this? No one came when I called, but come quickly and have a cup."

Lim Hee-ju waved to them with a smile.

"Welcome, Cafe Amuse!"

I greeted them loudly and took out a few bottles of cold brew from the fridge.

It was time to properly introduce our coffee to Joseon.

*

A storm had passed.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead with a towel and said to Pil-soo,

"Phew... Good job. Both of you."

"Hehe, no, it's been fun to work outside for a change."

"Right, it's exciting! Oh, by the way, I'll go eat lunch with Mom's car."

I
