Farming Druid - Chapter 120



Only Noblemtl

120. I just want to live here.

A tree that looks between the eyebrows of two people.

Shhhh—he opened his mouth with a smile.

“Me? Aren’t you guys going to eat? I have to prepare food.”

Only then did the two realize that they had been working without even realizing that it was past mealtime.

“Since you’ll get a lot of them if you cut them, put them in kimchi plastic bags by type.”

The tree left behind a speech.

I headed to the kitchen of the old house.

I rolled up my sleeves because I had friends.

‘Soak the rice… and put the clams in the freezer… Ah, after defrosting them. I’ll have to open them in advance to take out the pearls and cook them.’

A tree that brings to mind a refreshing clam stew.

I put firewood in the old kitchen stove and lit a fire.

A little later.

The tree, looking at the blazing firewood, took out a log and lit a fire in the fireplace next to it.

Hwaruruk―

The ribs (dry pine leaves) that had been placed there caught fire and the flames burned fiercely.

‘I have to cook glutinous rice in this stove, so I should eat first.’

After putting the rice that was just boiled into the cauldron.

The tree that did not cook the rice had prepared the ingredients for making glutinous rice paste in advance.

Crunch, rustling, rustling

Step by step step by step―

The Creator- The Creator-

A lunch menu that will leave you feeling full even after eating a lot.

Bibimbap is one of the menu items that foreigners like.

After making the five-colored vegetables.

They even added scrambled eggs.

Each person is given enough vegetables to eat and scrambled eggs are placed on the plate so that each person can eat according to their own taste.

‘When the rice is ready, you can just take it out… .’

I remembered that I had gone into town and bought two braziers that looked like flower pots.

He took one of them out, put firewood and charcoal in it, and placed a pot on it.

I was thinking of making a generous amount of soybean paste stew.

Even if there are three people, they do the work of making kimchi and eat the food, so shouldn’t they feed them well?

After all the food is cooked.

We started setting up a restaurant in the old house.

‘It’s all done… I should call the guys.’

Heading out to the yard, my friends were working hard.

As soon as I saw the tree’s face.

Haneum opened her mouth as if she was happy to hear it.

“What about food?”

“All done. Let’s go and eat.”

“What’s on the menu?”

“Just go and see.”

The two got up from their seats, brushed the dust off their bodies, and moved on.

Yoon Kang and Han Eum saw rice, vegetables, and red pepper paste and sesame oil on the table.

“Huh? Bibimbap?”

“Wow—what would bibimbap taste like if it were made with vegetables grown in the countryside?”

Yoon Kang, who looked at the table with expectant eyes, sat down at the table, rubbing his hands together.

Put rice in a large bowl, add vegetables, add gochujang and sesame oil, and mix well.

Wow―

The sight of him opening his mouth wide and putting it in his mouth in one bite.

Haneum and the tree ended up laughing.

“That looks really delicious….”

“I know.”

The sound of calling a friend ‘that’ sounded a little different.

If they’re really close, they’ll look for this guy, that guy, even a calf or a puppy.

“You eat it too.”

“Uh-. But, why is the yolk of this egg a little orange?”

“Ah. That’s because the eggs of the ‘Don’t Cry Chicken’ couple are all fertilized eggs, and they eat bugs and vegetables like leeks that come out of the field.”

“In a word, organic?”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

The peak of bibimbap is the addition of a half-fried egg, which also starts to taste delicious.

cellar-

Seeing his friends happily mixing and eating, Namu also mixed and ate a spoonful of soybean paste stew and rice.

As always, eating together tastes better than eating alone.

I felt comfortable eating there.

A time to make food with crops grown in the field and share it with friends.

The tree, feeling happy, looked at its friends.

Swish- Swish-

Ssuk- Dalgrak- Gureuk- Gureuk-

‘Am I the only one who thinks this?’

Looking at my friends who are trying to scrape every grain of rice off the plate.

“Can I get some more rice?”

As soon as the tree’s words fell.

The two guys held out the treat, giggling as if they were looking at a nodding doll.

“The food you eat in the countryside is really delicious… Can I come visit often too?”

“That guy has a rule. If you just do ‘Hands Full, Heavy,’ he’ll invite you over to play.”

“Really? Then―, can I hold a 10kg barbell in both hands?”

“go away-.”

The tree that silenced Yun Kang’s mouth with just one word moved the pot and stove together in the kitchen of the old house.

“Wow—what is that?”

“I’ll make you some leftover scorched rice soup. Eat it after you finish your rice. It’s delicious.”

“No—this is—what is it?”

Yun Kang, who was seeing the brazier used in the countryside for the first time, looked at it with a look of wonder.

“It’s a bit different from the braziers used in the past, but this brazier is used as a substitute for a portable gas range. And since you’ve probably seen the cauldron, I won’t explain it.”

“Hey— I know about the cauldron… It’s a given that rice tastes better when cooked in this cauldron. But is the rice eaten in the countryside always delicious?”

Yun Kang looked at the two people as he spoke.

Okay then.

The two people just shrugged their shoulders and said nothing.

Han-eum understood what Yun-gang was saying.

The first time I came down to Namune’s house and ate.

How delicious was it?

I thought the food served at the hospital cafeteria was pretty tasty.

It was a meal on a whole other level than hospital food.

Could it be because the food was eaten after clean air and moderate labor?

The feeling of eating a home-cooked meal for the first time in the countryside is still vivid.

Bubble bubble—

As I heard the sound of the scorched rice boiling and bubbling.

It was a tree that was used to scoop up a bowl of soup with a ladle and place it in front of each person.

“Drink carefully, you might burn your mouth. Oh, and while you’re eating, try eating the scorched rice and soybean paste stew together. It’s really delicious.”

The two people ate the scorched rice from the wooden spoon.

I ate a spoonful of soybean paste stew.

“Wow— what is this?”

“What kind of taste is this?”

The two people were once again caught in an endless loop of nurungji and doenjang jjigae, moving their spoons.

A smile appeared on the tree’s lips as it watched the sight.

‘They’re eating well… I’ll make the seasoning in advance in the afternoon. I’ll tell them to pickle some cabbage.’

After a big lunch, the two sat on the porch for a while, looked up at the sky, chatted, and then took a break.

When the time comes.

The two men followed the tree’s instructions and filled a large bucket called a ‘red tub’ with thick plastic, poured salt in it, and poured water into it.

“Give me an egg.”

Yun Kang and Namu were surprised by Han Eum’s words.

“Wow—you know how to adjust the salt water concentration? Our doctor?”

At Yoon Kang’s words, Han Eum snickered and rolled up the sleeves of both arms even further.

“I should have done it all when my mom made kimchi…”

Haneum’s expression changed slightly as she spoke.

It’s been over a year since my mother passed away.

“Mom, I want to eat kimchi….”

The tree heard the muttering of a single sound.

The tree also ate Haneum’s mother’s kimchi.

Oysters in refreshing and clean kimchi.

It was really delicious.

I think my grandmother’s kimchi tasted similar to my mother’s kimchi… .

“Hey—If you want to lose your senses, go into your room and sleep under the blanket.”

“Huh? No, that’s what I mean. My mother will be watching from heaven. Hey, you little rascal! Don’t pour salt like that! No!” she might be yelling. “You poured too much salt on me.”

“New X— Just add more water.”

“If I put cabbage in it, the water will overflow?”

“… … .”

After watching the two bickering, Namu shook his head and said as he went into the kitchen of the old house.

“I need to pickle some cabbage quickly so I can save some work… When will I ever get around to doing it all? I was planning on grilling meat in the yard that evening.”

“Meat? Hey! Joo Han-eum. Let’s hurry up.”

“Oh my— when it comes to meat, he can’t help but be jealous. That beautifully seasoned bastard.”

The tree looked at the sky as it went to the old house’s kitchen.

kimchi….

Can you hold it properly?

* * *

There was time to pickle cabbage, so we decided to make kimchi tomorrow morning, and in the evening, pork belly was being grilled in a cauldron lid in the middle of the yard.

Choaaaat―

When lard collects in the center of the pot lid.

I put in half a bunch of kimchi that the tree had taken out and roasted it.

“Aww. This is so fucking awesome. It smells so good.”

Han-eum clacked her tongs at Yoon-gang’s admiration.

“Can we have a drink today?”

“Oh, no. I can’t wake up tomorrow morning.”

Let the tree speak in a cutting tone.

Yoon Kang sipping a beverage.

“Hey—then just one beer.”

“Uh—non-alcoholic.”

“Tch―.”

Yun Kang, who was grilling meat for dinner, felt something strange.

“Hey—it’s definitely November now.”

“Oh, really?”

“But why isn’t it cold here?”

“Are you curious about that now?”

Yun Kang’s expression slightly frowned at Han Eum’s words.

“Because we’re surrounded by mountains here, the temperature is a little higher than other places. Didn’t we talk about it this morning?”

“Still, this feels almost like a spring evening?”

Yoon Kang tilts his head and puts the wrapped meat in his mouth.

The tree, looking at its friends, chuckled and tapped the lid of the pot.

“I was thinking about it. Should I make some kimchi tomorrow morning and then go out to the ocean?”

“What? You want to go into the water?”

“No―. I was just wondering how delicious it would be to eat grilled meat and kimchi on a boat.”

“Oh—I agree! I agree!”

Yoon Kang quickly chewed and swallowed the ssam, then raised both hands and made a fuss.

“Won’t the sea breeze be strong?”

“Well―. I think the weather will be nice tomorrow?”

“Hey hey― Let’s eat first. Eat―. Let’s think about tomorrow tomorrow.”

“Kang, your personality seems to change when you rest?”

In response to the tree’s question, Yun Kang shrugged his shoulders and said.

“I have to save face when I’m at work, but when you guys are here, why would I have to save face? When I get home, I take care of our cat… Oh, right. Are Gold, Silver, and Rain doing well?”

“Is that your cat’s name?”

“Uh―. Gold wanted to make a lot of money like gold, and Silver and Rain… .”

Kang-i’s voice echoed through the yard along with the sound of grilling meat.

Listening to that story.

The tree was roasting unseasoned meat and giving it to the house cats that had gathered in the yard.

Oh my goodness – (It’s delicious)

The cats’ whiskers moved forward, as if they were excited.

The cats were watching the new person, Yoon Kang, from a little distance.

Hard-

“Tree―. Could you look after our Korean Shorthair Rein, the one I told you about this morning?”

“Huh? You said you’d look after me when I went up to Seoul.”

“When are you coming to Seoul?”

“Well―. PD Hong said he’d contact me again, so I’ll have to wait. I’ll contact you when the schedule matches up.”

Well – well –

Yun Kang, who was chewing meat, nodded.

There was warmth in his gaze as he watched the cats eating meat in the yard.

‘They say that people who like animals don’t have bad personalities… I guess that guy is one of those people.’

The tree had already figured out what was wrong with Yun Kang’s mind.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked him to drive my expensive yacht.

After the meat party with dinner.

When Yoon Kang entered the open-air bath that Han-eum had guided him to, he exclaimed in admiration.

“Wow— look at the stars in the sky. My goodness… My head is cool and my body is warm. This is paradise…”

Han-eum snickered as she saw Yun-gang with a tired expression and only his nose and eyes exposed in the water.

“Is it good here?”

Yoon Kang just nodded in response to Han Eum’s question.

Poor Hut—

“Really good. How on earth did this tree guy get here?”

“You ask yourself. Even if I knew, I couldn’t tell you.”

“Is that so?”

Haneum opened a can of non-alcoholic beer and drank it.

He himself immersed himself deeply in the hot water and looked up at the sky.

“Good. Good. I just want to live here.”
