“hmm. “This is skinny enough.”
When we checked the Seoldohyanggan that had been left to dry on a tray for three days, it was found to be in a solid state.
I brought one to my mouth and checked its taste.
“Shall we check the taste?”
The texture you feel when you put it in your mouth is a little harder and harder than beef jerky.
The first taste was the aroma of Shaoxing wine combined with the nutty taste of sesame oil.
After the two flavors had passed, what came was the rich meat broth that had soaked into the tofu.
The broth mixed with saliva and began to stain the inside of my mouth.
‘Sue me.’
When I bite into the slightly loosened tofu soaked in saliva, the texture feels like it is not tofu that sticks to my teeth.
Next comes the subtle scent of star anise, flowers, cinnamon, and ginger.
They took away the musty scent of dried tofu, leaving only a chewy texture in my mouth.
“Good.”
The dried state feels better than expected.
I placed the Seoldohyanggan on the tray in the paper I had brought, wrapped it, tied it with a string, and draped it over my shoulder.
And it was time to pass by and check another tray.
An almost empty tray caught my eye.
‘What? Are there any rats?’
All the rats in the spot had been killed, so I was looking at the tray, wondering why something like this had happened, when I heard Youngyoung’s voice.
“Gaga, what are you doing here?”
“Ah, I’m going to take the Seoldohyanggan to Hwahwaru and meet Biyeon.”
The reason I came to the corner of the garden where the Hyanggan and Seoldo Hyanggan were drying up was to bring them to Biyeon and show her how to cook them.
When I explained it, Yeongyeong nodded and said.
“Oh, I see. Then go quickly. lol.”
It was when I was about to send off my support after seeing Youngyoung off.
A strange feeling.
Feeling strange, I looked back at Youngyoung and asked.
“Youngyoung, but you won’t follow me?”
Obviously, if I had told him I was going to Hwahwaru because I was sick, he would have followed me, but it was strange that he didn’t say that.
Because going out alone was now prohibited.
He had to be accompanied by one of his wives because he couldn’t fall down alone on the road.
‘I’ve been wearing it like a tail, but it feels empty because it doesn’t follow me, right?’
Then Yeongyeong flinched and answered.
“Oh, that’s right. “I have some work to do for a bit, so I’ll just ask Mimi to follow me.”
Yeongyeong says he will send Mimi instead of him.
The sight was even more strange.
I had six wives, but surprisingly none of them had similar tendencies, and among them, Yeongyeong was a dog-like woman.
In a good way, it’s a puppy, but in other words, it’s a puppy that suffers from separation anxiety disorder.
If he can’t see me, he’s the first to look for me, and whenever I go somewhere, he’s the one who wants to follow me the most.
I approached Youngyoung and asked.
“Is that strange?”
“W-what is it?”
It was then.
The fragrant scent wafting from Yeongyeong’s mouth.
I remembered that one of the trays was empty earlier, and I realized who the big rat in our house was.
I told him not to touch it so that we can all eat it together later because it tastes better only when it dries well, but perhaps because he has a good nose, I liked the scent so I couldn’t resist and touched it.
Considering that Yeongyeong reappeared at the place where the tray was placed, I thought that the criminal might have reappeared at the scene of the crime.
‘I’m sure of this.’
Well, you can just pretend not to notice, but it’s a playfulness that kicks in.
He walked closer to Youngyoung and whispered quietly in his ear.
“Youngyoung, are you hiding something from me? “I feel like our Youngyoung is hiding something from me?”
Then Youngyoung flinched.
Yeongyeong responded with an expression that said nothing like that.
“Oh, no. Uh, none. “How can I hide it from you?”
He smiled at Youngyoung and whispered quietly in his ear again.
[But why does the scent of Seoldohyanggan come from your mouth?]
“yes!? Uh, where. Hehehe.”
After hearing my words, Youngyoung blows on her palm and smells the scent.
Although he seemed to be flinching, Youngyoung held out his hand and said.
“Well, I’m not! “I don’t even have a smell.”
“Is it really not true? “One tray was almost empty?”
“Not really!”
He probably thought I wouldn’t know because his nose wasn’t as good as his, but there was a way.
“Then can I check?”
“Confirm? It is impossible for you to say that you want to smell my breath as a woman… town···.”
– Chureup.
Youngyoung’s eyes widen as she suddenly kisses her mouth while she is chattering away.
The taste of Seoldohyanggan passed from Yeongyeong’s tongue to my tongue.
‘If you don’t let him smell the scent, you can taste it.’
Then, Youngyoung’s eyes, which had been wide open in surprise, slowly closed, and after a while, Youngyoung hugged my neck with slightly opened eyes and nodded.
“I only ate a few.”
“Uh-huh! “Still lying.”
A state in which a criminal confesses, but claims that he did not commit everything in order to alleviate his guilt.
Now that I’ve decided to show the side of a strong man, the wall pushes Youngyoung and kisses me again.
– Churrup.
After a while, our lips parted, and Youngyoung, whose ears were dyed red, probably because she was embarrassed about kissing in a situation where she might be caught, wiggled her fingers and said,
“Well, really. “I only ate five of them…”
I feel like Youngyoung needs to get scolded for this.
It seemed like our young man needed to be beaten with a stick.
A magic wand that only tells the truth.
“Shoo. Our Youngyoung lied to me about all of this. I guess this Gaga took out a club…”
The trigger got stuck after kissing twice.
It was the moment when I was swallowing the wind and trying to push my hand into Youngyoung’s clothes.
“Unrang, what are you doing there? huh? “Youngyoung is there too?”
Maenghee appeared.
He looked at me, Youngyoung, and my pants dancing with my sister next to him, and his eyes widened.
“W-what! two people! “It’s daytime now!”
A time of peace agreed upon by the lowly wives.
Since it was a time when physical contact was restricted, Youngyoung, who did not keep his promise, received a stinging glare, and I received a sad look.
Then Yeongyeong responded by waving his hand.
“Uh, sister, it’s a misunderstanding! I didn’t do it! Gaga said they will catch the culprit who stole from Seoldohyanggan…”
“Why are you two so close together to catch the culprit who stole from Seoldohyanggan?”
“Well, you’re saying you’re checking to see if you can taste the taste of the taste in your mouth…”
Yes, when I answered that it was all part of a scientific investigation.
The older sister immediately scolded Youngyoung.
“Youngyoung, please come in for a moment.”
“You want me to stay in?”
“Shoo! hurry!”
“Oh, okay.”
When Youngyoung, who had a sad expression on her face, disappeared into the spot, my sister said with sparkling eyes.
“Unlang, we have to catch the culprit too, right?”
“yes?”
“No, if you want to find the person who ate it, can you just check Youngyoung?”
“Well, that’s right.”
It would definitely be right to investigate all suspects as you said.
I summoned back the strong man I had shown to Youngyoung and pushed her straight into the wall.
Because of course I knew what my sister was talking about.
Identifying the culprit is an excuse and it means you should quickly kiss yourself too.
“Sister Maeng, since I’m checking on a woman who may be a criminal, I may be a bit harsh.”
“Oh, my. Oh, it’s rough? Uh, how much?”
“Like a beast?”
“Hey… “I rather like it.”
Sister Maeng is not afraid when she is told that she is like a beast, but rather she welcomes it.
Thinking that I should finish it quickly and go to Seoldo Island to visit Biyeon, I suddenly kissed my sister.
-Chuck.
Then, strangely enough, the taste of Seoldohyanggan could be felt on the sister’s tongue.
‘What? Could it be that what Youngyoung said was true? Unbelievable!’
This is like a mystery novel-level twist.
The culprit who stole Seoldohyanggan was not just one.
Considering the taste of Seoldohyanggan on my sister’s tongue, it feels like it hasn’t been long since I ate it.
When I opened my eyes in surprise, my sister’s eyes turned into mischievous ones.
My sister asked me back as our lips parted.
“Have you caught all the criminals?”
“It’s hard to believe, so I’ll have to check again. “I never thought there would be an accomplice.”
“However much.”
– Chureup.
The kiss started again.
But our kiss didn’t last long.
This was because Cheongi, Mimi, Soso, and Pooryeon appeared on the other side and looked at us in surprise.
“Nogong?”
“Sister Maenghee?”
“teacher?”
“Eun-gong!”
Like in Youngyoung’s case, the scene was discovered not even after the kiss was over.
Maenghee and I looked at the four of us with awkward expressions.
And the embarrassed sister waved her hand and said.
“I can explain everything. “This is because we found the culprit.”
“The criminal?” “The criminal?”
“The criminal who stole Seoldohyanggan.”
The other four’s eyes began to sparkle at my sister’s excuse.
***
“Ouch, ouch…”
“Please wait. Mr. Cheongun. Because I’m putting oil on it. “How on earth did your lips get like this?”
Biyeon applied sesame oil to her lips instead of lip balm and made a sad expression.
When I looked at my lips in the light of Biyeon’s eyes, they were all swollen.
There is slight swelling and the area around the lips has turned red.
‘Is there some kind of absorption method or vacuum method in Moorim? ‘She almost lost her front teeth?’
The lips that had been overworked in arresting all six criminals who had stolen Seoldohyanggan were not normal.
“To find criminals…”
“Are you a sinner? “Why did you say so much?”
Bi-yeon seemed to think that her lips were like this because she talked a lot to get a criminal to confess, but would talking too much make her lips like this?
I answered with a sigh.
If you think about it, I dug my own grave.
Since I kissed two people during a time when physical contact was restricted, I had to give an equal share to the other four.
“Something like that happened. “Anyway, check this out.”
-Chuck.
When I held out the paper bundle containing the Seoldohyanggan, Biyeon sucked the finger that was rubbing my lips and opened the paper bundle.
“No, why?”
“yes? What?”
Biyeon still didn’t seem to know that she had indirectly kissed me, but I felt like it would be awkward for me to point it out, so I threw up my hands.
“Oh, no. Just take a look.”
“Yes, Cheongun.”
Biyeon, somehow feeling better, opened the bundle I gave her and tilted her head when she saw the Seoldo incense stick sticking out from inside.
“This?”
“That is cuisine for taste.”
“Is this what you mean?”
I felt a little embarrassed because something flat and hard didn’t look like a dish.
When I advised her to taste it with her hands, Biyeon took one of the Seoldo-hyanggan to her mouth.
Then Biyeon’s mouth becomes watery.
After a while, Biyeon smiled and said.
“It tastes a lot better than it looks, doesn’t it? But how can this be a dish for taste?”
In response to Biyeon’s question, he explained the origin of Seoldohyanggan.
Because it is a dish whose origins are more important than the cuisine itself.
“Ah, the name of that dish is Seoldohyanggan (薛濤香干). You know Biyeon, right? Seoldo, a famous courtesan and poet of the Tang Dynasty. “The dish that Seoldo made is Seoldo Hyanggan.”
“Ah, Seoldo Hyanggan made by Seoldo. “So then, all we have to do is eat this and start the drinking party in the direction of writing poetry?”
Probably because I have a lot of experience in the business, if I have to pretend, I pretend.
I shook my head as I heard Biyeon’s words, realizing which direction I should take the dish I prepared.
“yes.”
However, Biyeon held her chin and thought for a moment.
After a while, Biyeon said with an apologetic expression.
“Cheongun, but this is too hard and I don’t think it would look good if I put it on a plate…”
Seosi’s Tongue Cooking Seosul (西施舌).
Yang Guifei’s chicken dish Guifei Chicken (貴妃鷄).
Wang Sogun’s duck dish Sogunap (昭君鴨).
If you really think about it, Seoldohyanggan had less impact than the other three dishes.
Since it is something like beef jerky made from tofu, should I say that it lacks quality as a main dish?
“hmm. This is definitely not enough to serve as a main dish as Biyeon said. “Then I guess I’ll have to pay one more.”
“One more?”
If one serving is not enough, just add another main dish.
He said with a smile.
“I will make you another dish made by a poet more famous than Seoltao.”
“A poet more famous than Xue Tao?”
“How about the cuisine of Lee Tae-baek, also known as Lee Baek, Tae-baek, or Cheongnyeongeosa, a poet more famous than Seol-do?”
Wouldn’t this situation be resolved if Lee Tae-baek, the ultimate poet, was summoned?
Biyeon quickly nodded to my question.
