A Bowl of Jjajang, The Son-in-Law of Jegalse - Chapter 500

Episode 500

Yongho-tang (龍虎湯)

.

Snakes are creatures very close to Central Plains people.

In Jungwon folklore, Nuwa and Bokhee, who are known to have created humans, are depicted with the upper body as human and the lower body as a snake, and the dragon that the Jungwon people like to kill is ultimately an extension of the snake.

For this reason, when calling a snake, it is often called a small dragon (小龍) rather than a snake (蛇).

Therefore, if a Korean in a past life encountered a snake outside, they would think, ‘Ah, it’s a snake. ‘You have to be careful.’ You may think the same thing, but the midfielders react a little differently.

‘Oh, it’s a snake. Not ‘You have to be careful!’

‘ah! Is it a snake? ‘I need to report it!’ Reacting like this.

If you meet a snake in the central plains, you will never let it go.

Snakes are truly animals and food ingredients loved by people in the Middle East.

It catches and eats rats, the biggest enemy of agricultural society, and also has a high protein content, making it a very important source of protein for poor farmers.

Therefore, the snake cuisine culture of the Jungwon region is quite developed, and not only the snake wine that we commonly think of, but also a wide variety of dishes such as snake shabu-shabu, fried snake, and snake stew have been developed.

In particular, Guangdong cuisine (廣東料理), which includes Gwangju, where Haomun’s headquarters is located, is very famous for this snake dish.

If you go to a street where snake dishes are served, they will catch the snake on site, clean it, and cook it right away, just like at a fish market in Korea.

So it was clear that everyone would like it if they cooked with snake.

However, when I was a little worried about having to touch the snake, Yeongyeong tilted his head and asked.

“Why go?”

As expected, Yeongyoung has an intelligence issue, but her animal senses are excellent.

I smiled sheepishly and answered.

“The only difference was that I had to think about what kind of dish to cook, but it was because I had to touch a snake. “I don’t like snakes.”

“A snake?”

Yeongyeong’s ears perk up at the word snake.

Yeongyeong, whose ears pricked up like a cat, said with a smile.

“Ah, Gaga, you hate snakes? “Well, there are a lot of people who find snakes disgusting.”

The head naturally nods at Yeongyeong’s words.

When I agreed with Yeongyeong’s words, Yeongyeong spoke in an arrogant manner with his chin raised.

“Ha, really, what would Gaga have done without me? “Is this really what I need?”

A self-confident look from the insignificant Yeongyoung, who has been appearing for the first time in a long time.

As I blinked at that sight, Youngyoung came up to me and whispered in my ear while blowing wind.

“Gaga, who am I?”

“Youngyoung?”

“No, no, what kind of spirit?”

“Dang Yeong-yeong?”

Youngyoung nods her head as I adjust her rhythm a little.

“is it so. Dangyoungyoung. Have you forgotten what our Sacheondang family does? If it’s poisonous, it’s poisonous. If it’s poisonous, it’s poisonous. “When it comes to snakes, our Sacheondanga family is the best.”

Thinking about what Yeongyeong said, the Sacheondang family is a family that deals with poison.

When I went to Sacheon, I saw various poisons being grown, so I naturally nodded.

The Sacheondang family is the most famous land digging family in the central plains.

‘My wife’s family specializes in that.’

“Oh my! yes! “My wife’s family was a Sichuan Tang family who was very good at handling snakes, right?”

“is it so!”

Youngyoung became very arrogant, saying that it would be helpful for the first time in a long time.

Well, it’s unsightly when a good guy gets arrogant, but our Youngyoung is cute even when he’s arrogant.

I asked Youngyoung, who was making a cute expression, a request.

“Then, Yeongyeong, would you like to go and buy some lions? “I wish I could help you with the grooming, too.”

This was when I asked if I could buy a snake and clean it for me.

Then Yeongyeong responded with an expression that made no sense.

“Why are you buying a snake! Can I catch it? Just because you’ve made a lot of money these days, you shouldn’t waste your money like that. “It’s money that Gaga earns through hard work.”

The image of Yeongyoung nagging that she is his wife too.

Saving money is good, but I asked back when Yeongyeong said he was going to catch a snake.

There is no need to catch it yourself.

“catch? “A snake?”

“Yes, since it is winter, they will be hiding in their oysters, so if you find just one oyster, there will be dozens of them at once. Just wait a moment. “I will catch it soon.”

After a while, Yeongyeong quickly came out with Ga-ryeon and Maeng-hee, saying that he would show them his talent as a landman.

With support out of nowhere.

When Pooryeon lived without her, snake meat was her favorite, and Maenghee also often ate it as a snack in the Yunnan jungle…

Thus began an untimely snake hunt in Huwon in the middle of winter.

***

“It’s here!”

When Yeong-yeong shouted, pointing to a small frame in the gap between the sponsored landscaping stones, Maeng-hee let Baek-hwa smell it and then nodded.

“Baekhwado smells like a snake here!”

“good! Poor girl, it’s your turn to step forward.”

“all right. sister!”

-clatter.

When I felt sorry for myself and pushed the rock I had brought for landscaping, a large hole was revealed.

Without hesitation, Youngyoung put his hand into the hole and started pulling out snakes one after another.

-widely! Crack!

Because it was winter, as soon as the snake was taken out, Youngyoung mercilessly smacked its head on the floor.

Before the snakes could come to their senses, they fell limp and turned into snake meat.

“Youngyoung sister, you are amazing. “How are you so good at it?” “Well, when she was at home, she played with it when she was bored. ah! “It’s a pit!”

Yeongyeong is delighted with the large snake that comes out of his fingertip.

Youngyoung, Pooryeon, and Maenghee swallowed their saliva over the large snake.

“You look very plump.”

“Let’s bake this later. “It’s delicious if you peel off all the scales and grill it over a straw fire.”

“Is that so?”

Yeongyoung takes out a snake as if drawing lots from a snake cave.

Yeongyeong, who was taking out snakes one after another, next took out a viper.

As I was watching, I was startled by the viper that Yeongyeong took out, but Yeongyeong was pleased when he saw the viper.

“It’s a copy!”

-Tap!

Yeongyeong quickly hit the viper’s head on the floor, causing it to faint.

When I asked why they didn’t kill me this time, Youngyoung looked at me and smiled.

“Gaga, I heard copying is so good for a man. “I’ll have to tell Sosook Jang to make this into medicine.”

“Yeah, really?”

It was obvious even without asking where it was good, and the number of snakes caught that way was about 20.

Youngyoung grumbled that the quantity was smaller than expected, but for now, all the ingredients she had thought of were ready.

Now I decided to make Dragon & Phoenix Soup.

Yongbongtang (龍鳳湯).

First, I prepared a large chicken and removed all of its fur.

Of course, in Confucian style, the intestines are removed through the buttocks and the shape of the chicken is preserved as much as possible.

This is an iconic dish.

It has to taste good, but it also has to retain its appearance, so the dragon and bong must remain intact.

“Youngyoung, can you please take care of that guy over there?”

“all right. gaga.”

Yeongyeong rolled up his sleeves, took out a dagger he usually carried, and quickly cut off the snake’s head.

Then he cut the snake’s abdomen with a knife all the way from the neck down to the anus and took out all the internal organs.

Truly masterful workmanship.

He looked like he must have worked at a snake restaurant for at least ten years.

Yes, I forgot, but this is the kid that our Youngyoung also learned how to prepare pufferfish.

When I was surprised to see another talent of Yeongyeong, I heard Yeongyeong ask a question.

“Gaga, do you need a gallbladder too? “Guys drink this with alcohol, right?”

As Yeong-yeong said, if you catch a snake, depending on the size, a gallbladder the size of your index finger will come out. If you go to eat a snake dish, you must mix it with alcohol and have a glass of it.

But there was no need for a gallbladder.

I’m going to boil soup, but if I add gallbladder, the soup will become bitter.

“No, I don’t really need it? “Just throw it away.”

That was when I was told to just throw away the gallbladder.

Harang, who came to get firewood to roast duck, quickly asked for it.

“Madam Tang! “Please give me that!”

“Is Harang going to eat it?”

“no. I’m going to feed Woonghu some. “I don’t have much energy these days.”

When I looked at Woonghu peeling onions on one side, he shook his head furiously.

However, the guy who flinched at Harangi’s harsh eyes had no choice but to swallow the snake’s gallbladder.

“Wow… “I write.”

“The medicine you put in your mouth is also good for your body.”

After the direction of the snake gall bladder was decided.

Yeongyeong put the snake’s body in a wooden bucket and poured boiling hot water into it.

-Sigh!

Then, Youngyoung moves his hand quickly and closes the lid.

Youngyoung looked at me and said.

“When cleaning a snake, you have to close the lid like this even if it is dead. Because the body can move. And after pouring hot water like this, if you take it out and look at it once, the scales will come off.”

The general snake care method in Korea and the snake care method in Jungwon are quite different. Although it is not common, if you care for a snake in Korea in your past life, it was common to completely remove the skin.

However, in Jungwon, they put the snake in hot water and scrub it with their hands, and only the plastic comes off, leaving the snake’s skin behind.

Joongwon not only eats meat, but also snake skin, so they usually just peel off the scales.

-Wow!

After a while, Youngyoung took the snake out of the hot water and swept it down from above.

All of the snake’s transparent scales peeled off from my fingertips.

“Finished cleaning!”

Youngyoung’s mastery of cleaning snakes like a machine.

Ga-ryeon and Maeng-hee saw that and cheered.

“You’re cool, Youngyoung!”

“Youngyoung sister is amazing!”

Now that Youngyoung has taken over the snake, it’s my turn to step forward.

-bang! bang!

I decided to first pound the crushed garlic and green onions to release the flavor and then boil the chicken first.

It’s like boiling samgyetang by adding wood ear mushrooms, chestnuts, and jujubes.

Originally, Yongbongtang is not much different from Samgyetang.

The basic recipe is to first boil the snake in boiled Samtang water.

This is not much different from snake shabu shabu.

-Bubbling.

After doing that, snake meat was added to the samgyetang, which had been boiled for about two hours, and onions, garlic, sesame oil, and pepper were added.

Lastly, add the snake and boil it for about 30 minutes. This is a dish that combines the dragon and baton of the Jungwon region.

Dragon & Phoenix Soup.

Place the chicken in a large bowl, place the snake on the chicken, and pour in the hot broth to create a delicious bowl.

A chicken with its head sticking out of a bowl looks out of the bowl, and there is a snake coiled around it.

He put down the Yongbongtang in front of his wives who were waiting outside.

Then the wives nodded at that slightly repulsive look.

“Ah, it’s a dish where the chicken symbolizes the pole and the snake symbolizes the dragon.”

“Gaga, what is the name of this dish?”

“It’s called Yongbongtang, a dish that combines dragons and bongs.”

“Yongbongtang. “Sir, it looks like a really great dish.”

It was when I was making a satisfied expression with the finished dish.

People entering the store entrance.

When I looked at the entrance to the spot, I saw Kwon Yung from the Murim Alliance entering the entrance with his warriors.

“hello? Master Ryu came to eat.”

As I was cooking, it was already afternoon opening time.

I thought it was a good idea and said to Kwon Yong.

“Ah, Kwon Daehyeop, even if that’s not the case, you’re welcome. “The dish I prepared for the Moorim Broom Dance Competition has just been completed. Please take a look.”

“Oh!? “You mean already?”

Kwon Yong quickly came to the table upon hearing that the Moorim secret dance competition dish was ready.

He looked surprised when he saw Yongbongtang.

“This!?”

“Ah, I made it because there is nothing more important than the Yongbongho Ceremony in the martial arts competition. “This is Yongbong soup, which symbolizes the Yongbong protection ceremony.”

When I introduced Yongbongtang.

Kwon Yong pauses.

Kwon Yong didn’t know what to do and then said with a very sorry expression.

“Daeyin Ryu, how should I tell you this?”

“?”

I asked him hesitatingly.

Because it was an atmosphere where I had something to say but couldn’t.

“Is there something you don’t like? Please speak comfortably. “This is the process of making the dish requested by the Murim Alliance, so if it does not meet the requirements, we will make something else.”

Then Kwon Yung, who was looking at Cheongi’s thoughts, scratched his head and answered.

“Actually, the martial arts competition held in this martial arts alliance is essentially a pure martial arts competition where the level of martial arts is competed with each other like a dragon and a tiger fighting.

It is said that people’s attention is only focused on the dragon and baton naming ceremony where the dragon and baton are decided… Huh…”

So, this means that the intention of the test taker and the interpretation of the students taking the CSAT are different.

‘ha···. no wonder. ‘It’s my fault for trusting Jang Jin.’

I answered, thinking that it was my fault for completely believing that Jang Jin was wrong.

“The battle between the dragon and the tiger. “Don’t worry, there are dishes that go well with it.”

“Is that true?”

“exactly. “There is Yongho-tang (龍虎湯).”

“Yongho soup!”

Kwon Yung looks back to see if he likes the name.

I turned my head and looked at Youngyoung and asked.

“Youngyoung, can you catch a cat too?”

Yongho-tang is a soup made with cats and snakes.

‘I hate this more than snakes…’
