Chapter 46 - Cheating Day Chapter 46
Large corporation
“Do you like Mom?” Do you like Dad? Are you a “bubok”? Dipping or not? I will only get a taste of the most intense debate in the 5,000-year history of the Korean Peninsula. For the side dishes of the baekban debate.
“This is Baek Woo-jin.”
It’s the day of the 8th episode of the Baekban Debate.
It’s already been two months since we started the Baekban discussion, and many things have changed during that time.
First, the number of live stream viewers reached 8,000, and we are now close to 300,000 subscribers.
I was surprised by the growth trend that I never even dreamed of, and I was even more surprised that it fell within the prediction range provided by Mukji’s analysis data.
Secondly, as I went out more often, I occasionally ran into people who recognized me.
Lastly, a pretty big advertising inquiry came in.
However, the concept of debating which meal is tastier is delicate.
When advertising a certain product, we judged that we might unintentionally belittle competing products, so we are currently coordinating the advertising method.
“Welcome once again today.” A live rockfish. Introducing expert rockfish specialist, Commissioner Baek Woo-jin.
“Why am I a rockfish?”
“It’s because I’m a flounder.”
Baek Woo-jin pondered deeply and then nodded.
“I admit it.”
└hahahahahahahaha
└Since flounders are uglier, I’ll admit it “LOL”
The mindset of being better-looking than you.
└Rockfish or flounder, lol
A man who wants to become slim like a flatfish. It’s for flatfish enthusiasts as a side dish.
“Do you want to become like a flatfish?”
“Of course.” How slim you are.
“My eyes are rolling back, you know?”
It’s individuality. Are you perhaps making fun of someone whose eyes are slightly misaligned?
“No.” No. Not at all.”
└Starting with slander, lol.
└They try to kill each other at the slightest opportunity, lol.
When did this even happen? LOL
From the beginning
Today, it’s flounder vs. rockfish. We would like to conduct a formal debate on what is more delicious. Could you first explain about the rockfish?
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
Rockfish are fish that live in the sea. Originally, it was called the grouper, but since people started calling it the rockfish, you could say the name has completely replaced it.
I showed the viewers a picture of the rockfish.
“You’re ugly, aren’t you?”
“Jine.”
“Yes?”
└You have to say you’re better looking than a flatfish, lol.
Suddenly?
└Personal attack lol
└Baek Woo-jin is really pissed off “LOL”
└We’re on a 7-game losing streak, lol.
Baek Woo-jin is unusually aggressive today.
Since he lost all seven debates before, he seems to get really sensitive as soon as the white debate starts.
But today is still my victory.
“Alright.” First, let me explain about the flatfish. Flounder also has its original name. It’s called flatfish, but in fact, more people call it flounder. And in our country, when you say sashimi, it is so popular that it can be considered synonymous with flounder.
“No.” How much do you eat of rockfish, anyway?
“Eh.” Actually, sashimi can’t compare to flounder. I will acknowledge that, depending on personal taste, rockfish could be more delicious in spicy fish stew.
“No.” Both sashimi and spicy fish stew are tastier with rockfish.
It’s an attitude of not yielding even a little.
“You won’t have any choice but to admit it.” “Did you know that flounder is an incredibly high-end fish?”
I displayed a photo of flounder sashimi and explained it.
“Although we can enjoy it cheaply and deliciously due to successful farming, in fact, our country has regarded flounder and halibut as premium fish since ancient times.” Because it tastes good due to its umami flavor.
“Is it over?”
“No.” Even in Japan, flounder is more expensive than sea bream. In this way, because flounder itself has excellent taste, it has been loved as a high-end sashimi ingredient, and the reason we can feel familiar with flounder is all thanks to the success of aquaculture.
“Is it over?”
I guess I’m being impatient.
However, today’s discussion does not go on for long.
Because this one shot ends all the controversy.
“Please wait.” There is an important story left to tell.
“Hurry up.”
“Why are you so sensitive today?” “Want some chocolate?”
“I’m not eating.”
“Don’t you… eat cacao?”
“Ah! Really! “Stop it already!”
“Heheheheh.”
└Baek Woo-jin is having another seizure, lol.
└Whenever Kakao is mentioned, he acts like that, so how can I not tease him? LOL
└You pretended to be firm, but you got swayed in one blow, right?
└It seems like Banchan-yong is really good at provoking.
“Calm down.” Please listen to the rest. Do you happen to know about the 1996 Gangneung armed infiltration incident, Commissioner Baek Woo-jin?
“……Yes.”
Maybe because I teased him once, this time he answers obediently.
“That’s right.” It was a very significant incident that a submarine infiltrated the eastern coast of Gangwon Province. As a result, a person named Lee Kwang-soo is captured alive.
“Do you want flounder?”
“That’s right.” Our country’s investigation team offered alcohol and asked what he would like to eat as a side dish, and Lee Kwang-soo sarcastically replied, “Do you think there would be flounder sashimi in impoverished South Korea?” Flounder is hard to find even in North Korea, so I thought people in South Korea wouldn’t even know it exists.”1)
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
“But as you know, in our country, flounder was such a popular fish.” The investigation team immediately brought out the flounder sashimi, and Lee Kwang-soo was taken aback. If they brought the flounder sashimi this quickly, I started to suspect that they might be mistaken about something. Afterwards, he defected and served as a political officer under the Naval Education Command.
└LOL
Do you guys know flounder?
└(Info) Flounder farming has been around since the 1980s.
└Ah, haha, I can’t resist flounder sashimi, haha.
“A flatfish so delicious and precious that even armed spies would defect for it.” Do you know what they say to someone who knows that taste?
“What are you saying?”
“You’re being a flounder.”
└hahahahahahahahahahahaha
└Tore it
└LOL so crazy LOL
└You got kidnapped, lol.
└8 consecutive wins for side dishes
Even I think it’s perfect logic.
Baek Woo-jin won’t be able to deny it half-heartedly either.
You must be aware that I’ve been slandered and schemed against all this time, so if I deny it, they’ll label me as a North Korean sympathizer.
Even if you cleverly evade it, I still have one more weapon left.
This time, it’s my victory again.
“I admit it.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded obediently.
“But we need to compare several more aspects.”
“What do you mean?”
Rockfish and flounder. What is more expensive if you eat the circuit?
“Isn’t the rockfish more expensive?”
“That’s right.” Because rockfish have a lower yield, they are inevitably more expensive than flatfish for the same quantity.
“Yes.”
“And in a capitalist society, the more expensive things are, the better they are.”
“……Ah.”
“If the person who just mentioned armed infiltrators denies this fact, I can’t help but wonder who is actually threatening capitalism and democracy.”
I was so surprised that I opened my mouth.
└Taijiquan lol
└Baek Woojin lol
└He’s really a crazy bastard, lol.
└I said it was going normally.
└If they had clearly denied this, they would have brought up North Korea or something, but they’re countering it like this, lol.
└I wasn’t just taking hits all this time, lol.
“You.”
“Can’t be.” Are you denying it?
“When did you become so corrupt?” It wasn’t like this originally.
“You made me like this.”
There is madness in Baek Woo-jin’s eyes.
Filled with a competitive spirit and a desire for revenge, they feel no guilt for all the schemes, slanders, and plots.
It is the eyes of a person who runs solely for victory.
“……It seems like we’ve exchanged it back and forth once?”
“Do you have anything else to say?”
Baek Woo-jin asked confidently.
“Of course.” I’ve done a lot of research too, so it won’t end here.
“Go ahead, do whatever you want.”
Rockfish. Earlier, you mentioned Jopibollak, but you didn’t introduce any other names, did you?
“Yes?”
“I don’t think Commissioner Baek Woo-jin, who knows all sorts of trivia, would not know this.”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t even think about deceiving me.” You judged it to be disadvantageous to you and intentionally didn’t introduce it, right?
“I don’t know anything about it.”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes wavered.
As expected, my guess was right.
Rockfish. The official name is Zopfibollak, but in some regions, it is also called this way.
He spoke while looking at the camera.
“Ureki.”
Question marks started appearing in the chat window.
In Gangwon Province, they call rockfish “uregi.” And a word formed by combining the first letter of a noun with the word “reggie” usually means that it is useless. Ureki. In other words, it means garbage.
I searched for “rockfish” on Google and showed it to the viewers.
└hahahahahahahahahaha
└Ureggyeok
└I’m going crazy
└This is seriously a dead giveaway, lol.
└So funny LOL
There was a brief crisis in the middle, but as expected, this victory is mine once again.
Thinking about getting a free meal again tonight makes my mouth water already.
“Wait a moment.”
You’re intoxicated by victory.
Baek Woo-jin stepped forward.
“Do you have anything more to say?”
“Ureki.” “This is coming out as a cultural language, isn’t it?”
“……Yes?”
Baek Woo-jin showed the window where he searched for “rockfish” on Namuwiki.
Next to the official name “Zofibolac,” there is a parenthesis with “rockfish” and “Thunder” written, and next to “Trash,” it is introduced as “Standard Korean.”
Baek Woo-jin slowly turned his neck and tilted his head.
“What happened?” No way.
“……No.” This, this can’t be happening. In Gangwon Province, they call it “uregi.”
“What happened?”
└Clarify
└Clarify
How do you know North Korean? Perhaps?
Isn’t Munhwa language North Korean?
└How do you know about that? Haha
“…….”
The atmosphere in the chatroom has already shifted to Baek Woo-jin.
Amid the flood of requests for clarification and questions, I, who cannot understand why Uregi was introduced in the cultural language, have no further grounds for rebuttal.
Moreover, it would have been nice if there was even evidence that it was called “Ure” in Gangwon Province, but I couldn’t prepare the materials in advance.
“……lost.”
“Wow!”
When he admitted defeat, Baek Woo-jin jumped up from his seat.
