Farming Druid - Chapter 77



Only Noblemtl

077. This salad… .

Shihu felt like he had seen the tree’s profile and actions somewhere before.

I asked because I was curious.

“Do you have YouTube?”

Shifu habitually snapped his fingers as he asked questions.

Taak-

“Huh? Ah― there is a channel that uploads in V―log format.”

“Is that the name? ‘I quit my job and go to the countryside to heal.’ Right?”

When someone else says your channel name.

It was a rather awkward tree.

He nodded and opened his mouth, the tips of his ears turning red.

“Yes. It’s embarrassing to hear my channel name coming out of someone else’s mouth.”

Shihu nodded as if he understood what the tree said.

“Is that so? My friend is also a YouTuber, so I understand.”

At Shihu’s words, the tree glanced towards the fireplace.

“Yes, since the firewood has caught fire to some extent. Just a moment.”

Shihu took a step back.

After grabbing the firewood with the tongs, move the fire deep into the stove.

Let’s bring the industrial non-contact thermometer from the kitchen near the stove.

The temperature began to become visible.

Let’s get to 480 degrees Celsius.

The tree put the pizza dough with toppings into the oven.

The tree with the pizza in it took out its cell phone.

“Suriya – 1 minute and 20 seconds countdown.”

As we were talking, the phone started counting down.

Shihu nodded after seeing the tree’s actions.

‘485 degrees. Bake the pizza here for 90 seconds and take it out to complete a chewy and savory pizza… … Put it in at 480 degrees and raise the temperature… Is that okay?’

Sweat was dripping down my cheeks.

It was a hot summer day, but Sihoo didn’t feel that the kitchen of this hanok was hot.

The heat was gone and it looked just right.

Tiring- Titing-

When the cell phone clock rings.

The wood is removed from the pizza oven.

He carried it on a large tray and headed to the main building.

“Mr. Shifu. Come in.”

“Ah― yes.”

Let’s go into the living room with a large tray.

Haneum struck first.

“What? What is that guy who is not feeling well going to make again?”

“Since you are a guest, we must treat you well. Please eat.”

At the tree’s words, Han-eum and Professor Do-jung-ha frowned.

The tree put the tray on the floor.

The smell of freshly baked pizza made me look down.

The outside looked slightly crispy and it looked like a wood-fired pizza topped with cheese, shrimp, pineapple, and olives.

“Everyone, eat up.”

At the tree’s words, Professor Dojungha was the first to open his mouth and extend his hand.

“Uh- yeah. Let’s have some.”

“Mr. Shifu, you too, please.”

At Haneum’s invitation, Shihu also approached and sat down.

Everyone sat around in front of the pizza and started eating.

The tree rose from its seat and went out onto the porch.

Shihu called him.

“Don’t you eat tree seeds?”

He opened his mouth with a pale smile at his words.

“Eat, eat, eat. I’ll go check the condition of the field to show you. Eat, eat, eat. Han-eum, there’s a canned drink in the fridge for you, so give it to me.”

“uh-.”

Arriving at the field, the tree saw cats digging and covering up the field.

“Guys―. Can you come together for a moment?”

Nyang-(yeah-)

The cats began to gather in one place at the call of the tree.

In the living room, we were enjoying pizza baked in the oven.

Chef Kang Si-hoo of [SeeYou].

He knew the power of a pizza fresh from the oven.

I took the hot pizza in my hand and brought it to my mouth.

bout-

Let’s cut the pizza dough with our teeth in our mouths filled with heat.

As the cheese stretched out, I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide at the chewy texture I felt on my teeth and the rich flavor I felt on my tongue.

Shifu was reminded of small, cute black goblins.

From the living room of your home to the ‘Garden of this World’.

Black goblins, who didn’t look like goblins, always greeted us.

After making a stove there with the help of the children.

When I made pizza for the kids.

How cute were the eyes that had turned round… … .

It’s like your eyes widen when you see pizza made by someone else.

The story was that it had that much flavor.

“This… is delicious?”

“That’s right… … When on earth did this guy start helping out?”

“It’s delicious. Mmm—. It’s delicious. I don’t really like pizza, but this is really delicious.”

Shihoo looked at the people who were happily eating pizza.

The person who actually baked the pizza was not there.

The owner of the house left behind a message saying he was heading to the field.

Shifu started to feel a little anxious.

A little while ago.

The sight of him bleeding in the room seemed to indicate that there was something wrong.

People don’t suddenly become sagging or anything just because they have a nosebleed.

If there’s something wrong with your body… no, if you’re sick, you’ll probably sag, collapse, or lose consciousness.

Muck muck―

“But Chef, you really eat well.”

I looked at the person who spoke to me.

Did you say you were friends with the landlord?

He seemed like a sadly good person.

Besides, it looked faded because it was next to the landlord, but it looked like a face that would be good at Korea University Hospital.

– Shifu. Give it to me too.

Words heard in the shadows.

Shihoo tore the pizza with his hands and pushed it in front of him.

-Omnyumnyum

Shihoo smiled at the sound he heard from the shadows.

Shihu saw cats coming into the living room wiping their paws on a rag.

The cats that came in sniffed around in the air as if they were searching for something.

Ning-

Meow-

The cats sniffed for a long time.

Han-eum and Do-jung-ha, who were sitting in the living room, climbed up onto each other’s legs and took their places.

“Oh my – it’s already hot, but thanks to you guys it’s even hotter… … .”

A middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face.

This person was also introduced as a doctor from Korea University.

I heard that he is the personal physician of the landlord, Mr. Hannamu.

What Si-hoo could infer was that the landlord was sick enough to need to be seen by the doctor.

‘Hmm―. The person seems to have a good personality… … They like taking care of things. Above all, don’t they say that there are no bad people among those who like plants and animals? Except for those who try to take advantage of them… … .’

Even if the field is in good condition, if the person harvesting it is not in good health, I feel sorry for saying that, but I thought that it should be excluded.

Percussion-

The image of the landlord putting something down on the porch.

The man who had been out in the fields came back carrying something else.

That’s… … .

It was a salad vegetable.

“I hope you’re done looking around the field, but I brought you some salad greens to try.”

The landlord who spoke.

His hands were really fast.

Ha Yoon, who was watching from the side, whispered while poking me in the ribs.

“I’ve never seen anyone with hands as fast as yours before.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

He quickly washed the vegetables and drained them in a vegetable dehydrator.

He held out a bowl of salad with diagonally sliced ​​cucumbers and tomatoes in front of Shihoo.

“Try it.”

At the landlord’s words, Shi-hoo and Ha-yoon each picked up a piece of salad with a fork and put it in their mouths.

“oh?”

“uh?”

The first texture you feel in your mouth.

The crunchy texture of the vegetables was what first stimulated my appetite.

After that.

The unique sweetness of vegetables came out.

It seemed to indicate that these were really fresh vegetables.

?!―

For a moment, the thought occurred to me that it was like vegetables grown in my own ‘other world’ garden.

‘Why can I taste the unique savory flavor that comes from fast-growing vegetables here?’

I felt a little more excited than usual.

The salad was really delicious.

A salad like this can be delivered to the store.

‘Because it tasted just like the salad I grew up eating in this world.’

Above all, it was different from the vegetables grown in other fields.

The taste and freshness were different.

It was Shihoo who had his eyes set on the landlord.

Then, the head of the landlord who was receiving the gaze tilted slightly.

“Doesn’t it suit your taste?”

Shi-hoo opened his mouth as he looked at the landlord who had a curious expression on his face.

“No―. It’s really delicious. The reason it’s cool even though it was just harvested is probably because of the water we use here.”

Question from Shihu.

The tree opened its mouth and looked around the house with a smile.

“… This used to be my grandmother’s house. The strange thing about this house is that if you wash vegetables or fish or prepare ingredients with the water that comes out of it, they quickly become cold and fresh.”

Shihu’s eyes widened at the landlord’s words.

‘Huh? So there’s a water spirit?’

Shihu looked at the landlord again.

The feeling he felt was itself ‘natural’.

Forests and sea, rivers and fields and wind.

He seemed to have a dynamic nature.

‘Doesn’t that person know…?’

Shihu tilted his head and put the piece of salad back into his mouth.

Asasak-

– Shifu, me too.

Shihu tilted the bowl as he saw a small hand emerge from the shadow.

Crispy- crunchy-

Stop –

Shihu saw the shadows moving.

And then I looked at the landlord at the words I heard.

-Huh? This tastes just like the one in the Yeongji garden.

* * *

Namu looked at the two people from [SeeYou] who were eating salad, then turned his gaze towards the chef.

A little while ago.

I was a little worried as I headed to the kitchen in my old house.

Because the tree was under strict orders not to bow its head.

When burning wood to bake a pizza oven.

Even squatting down and then standing up can sometimes cause dizziness.

The president of [SeeYou] happened to come along and offer to help, so I gratefully received his help.

‘I didn’t know I would be praised for my stove… … I was surprised that I could tell right away just by looking at the stove’s design… … .’

I kept feeling eyes on me as I was putting toppings on the pizza dough, but I didn’t really pay any attention to it.

I thought it was natural for me to see it since I was a chef.

The tree watched his fingers wiggle as he placed toppings on the pizza.

‘You wanted to cook, right?’

I did get some help, but I didn’t expect it to be much help.

Just lighting a fire in the stove was a big help.

‘Their purpose is to check the taste of the salad greens and the condition of the field. Should we try picking some salad greens?’

After handing out pizzas to the people, the tree headed to the field.

The cats were really working hard at their jobs.

Cats wandering around the field came across a tree and approached it.

Nyayang-(Guardian.)

Miut-(Are you okay?)

LOL (I smell blood.)

As the real powers of the cat house approach.

The tree patted their heads.

Applauded.

“Guys, just wait a minute… … .”

I asked the cats to harvest some salad greens for me.

My mouth fell open as I watched the process of picking and harvesting the leaves.

“You guys have gotten so good in just a few days?”

The cats on the tree were moving their whiskers.

It meant that I felt good.

Cut the root part of the vegetable at once with the long claws, then break it off without damaging the leaves.

The skill of hitting it with a cotton bat at the moment it falls and making it fall into the basket.

I couldn’t help but be amazed.

It reminded me of a cat in a cape and boots holding a long fencing sword from a certain movie.

Dozens of children moving at once.

Salad greens were harvested in no time.

Open tomatoes and cucumbers were picked from the trees.

‘The kids were complaining that the top of the cucumber was surprisingly hard and they couldn’t cut it with their fingernails… … .’

Let’s go inside the house with a basket full of vegetables.

Eyes gathered as they ate pizza.

After quickly washing the vegetables.

Drained it, put it in a salad bowl, and handed it to the two of [SeeYou].

I was a little nervous.

I was curious to see how the evaluation would turn out… … .

Percussion-

[SeeYou] Chef Kang Si-hoo’s eyes met as he put down his fork.

“This salad… … .”
