Farming Druid - Chapter 80



Only Noblemtl

080. Let’s have a drink each.

Chef Kang Si-hoo and General Manager Joo Ha-yoon of [SeeYou] near Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.

When the trees saw them.

The two of them showed no signs of social or work life whatsoever.

‘What? Chef Kang Si-hoo, even though he’s just started college, Team Leader Joo… … He must be pretty innocent, right?’

The tree smiled after hearing the two people’s request.

‘I want to experience the countryside and stay overnight before I go… ‘

The tree read the childish curiosity and sincerity in the faces of the two people who looked difficult and sighed lightly.

He opened his mouth and scratched the back of his head.

“As I said earlier, this is also my grandmother’s house. If you want to experience the countryside for a day, you’ve already cleared both your hands… … If you just pay a fair price for staying in the annex, it’s possible.”

Let the tree smile.

Shihu smiled like a child.

“Instead… … I think you’ll have to stay with those doctors. Is that okay?”

“Ah— that’s… … .”

Seeing the two people hesitating, the tree quickly continued speaking.

“Ah—you will be staying separately. There are two rooms in the annex with a bathroom and toilet, so you can use them. Professor Do can give us the spare room on our side.”

The trees neatly organized the traffic.

“wait a minute.”

dripping-

When Professor Do Jung-ha showed his face.

I explained the situation.

Then, he quickly packed his bags and headed towards the main building.

The tree took a quick peek inside the annex and opened its mouth.

“Please stay a moment, I’ll clean it up right away.”

Shihu and Hayoon dried the tree.

They said they were going to clean up since they were going to spend the night in the annex.

‘I’m fine.’

The two people went into the annex and the tree went into the main building.

While I was sitting around in the living room, I gave Professor Jung-ha an unused room.

He entered the room, looked around, and opened his mouth.

“Do you clean together every day?”

“Yes. Other places are cleaned every day, but this room is cleaned every other day. I cleaned it this morning.”

“… I see.”

I looked around for a way to get there.

Have you ever used the room?

The wallpaper and paneling were clean and tidy.

There were screens on the windows, so there seemed to be no need to worry about bugs coming in.

While looking around, I saw Professor Ha.

“Professor―. I’m planning to have grilled clams and grilled beef for dinner. Do you have any requests?”

“I’m a little tired today… … Are there any toads?”

“A toad?”

“That… there’s that sky blue retro soju.”

“Aha―. I’ll prepare it.”

Click—

As the tree leaves the room.

Thinking about the toad made me feel secretly better.

‘I’m thinking about drinking it after a long time… … Hehe.’

He clenched his fists and shook them, letting out a silent scream.

Because I had to work every day for surgery, I couldn’t leave the hospital.

Naturally, it was a lifestyle where even alcohol was avoided.

‘Today is… …freedom! Yay yay!’

Suddenly, I remembered what happened in the morning.

ha-

I remembered riding a dolphin across the ocean and riding a wild boar up the mountain in the afternoon.

I felt pretty good.

‘If I tell this story to someone, they’ll call me crazy.’

This morning, I remembered the things the sea creatures had given me as medical expenses.

‘I’m looking forward to it… … .’

* * *

Si-hoo and Ha-yoon, who entered the annex, each took a room and unpacked their bags.

After that.

The two were out in the small living room of the annex.

“Yul- come out for a moment.”

-huh.

“When you met the landlord here earlier, you said you were a druid, right?”

– Yes, to be exact, they would be called ‘agents of nature’ and ‘guardians of nature’ here.

“But is it possible that the person who is the guardian of nature could be sick?”

Hayoon looked at Yul and asked.

Yul’s complexion darkened suddenly.

-It could be. It’s like a penalty for being human…

“Can it get better?”

-Yeah. It might be possible with the healing waters of the Water Spirit King.

“Is that so?”

Shihoo raised the corners of his lips.

Ha-yoon shook her head.

“This is a rapper.”

“I’m not that nosy, hyung.”

“Then what is it?”

“That farmer needs to be healthy so that he can receive some of the crops he grows. I see that he’s also growing rice. And, have you seen my brother?”

“what?”

“Cats harvesting crops,”

At Shihoo’s words, Ha-yoon’s eyes widened slightly.

Ha-yoon’s eyes grew wider as she listened to Shi-hoo’s explanation.

“Oh my goodness. Are they in the same position as the residents of the territory? Cats?”

Shi-hoo ended up laughing at Ha-yoon’s words.

dripping-

– Chef Kang, please come out so we can begin.

A voice calling Sihoo was heard outside the front door.

After that, change into comfortable clothes.

I opened the door and went out.

“Brother – I’ll be back.”

“Oh, good luck.”

* * *

The tree took Shihu and headed to the old house’s kitchen.

He wore a hood on his head.

Although it was a dish made in the countryside, it seemed like they were thinking that not even a single hair should get in.

‘Pros are different after all… … .’

The first thing to do in the kitchen of an old house was to light a fire in the stove.

Chef Kang Si-hoo’s eyes sparkled.

I saw the sparkling eyes as I lit the fire in the oven while baking pizza.

The tree came to know how sincere his every action was.

“Try lighting a fire in the stove.”

“yes-.”

“Oh, and there’s something to be careful of. Sometimes, our black cat, Gyul-woo, watches from the side and then jumps into the stove, so be careful.”

“Huh? The cat jumped into the fireplace?”

At Shihu’s surprised question, the tree nodded and pointed with its index finger.

There, a completely black cat was peeking out from outside the old house’s kitchen, taking notice.

“Winter―. When you come in, I know there won’t be any snacks.”

Miyanang―(That can’t be happening―)

Phew―

Shifu burst into laughter for a moment, but then turned his head away.

The tree that had once seen winter was wiped dry on the countertop with a cloth.

I put the vegetables on top.

“Chef? After the fire is lit, could you please cut up these vegetables for me?”

“What?”

“Yes. I caught some seafood and sashimi from the sea this morning.”

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

“Hello? Has it been trimmed?”

“No – now I have to drain the blood and make a paste… … .”

“I’ll do it.”

The tree nodded at Shihu’s words.

Then, let’s put the rice in the cauldron and cook the cauldron rice first.

Namu looked surprised as he watched Shihu cooking rice in a large cauldron in the old house’s kitchen and cutting ingredients to make soup.

‘What kind of knife work… … .’

The cutting was clean and quick.

I thought the path of movement in the kitchen was neat and tidy.

The kitchen floor in my old house was so uneven that if I stepped on it wrong while walking, I would often twist my foot.

Have you taken that into consideration?

There was absolutely no frills in the movement.

‘Hmm – is that the level you have to be to be called a chef?’

I left the rest to Shihu, who worked at the old house, except for the rice cooked in the cauldron and the soup boiled in the cauldron.

If you cook rice in a cauldron for the first time, you will burn it… … .

‘I guess I’ll have to order a small cauldron of rice to be cooked over a bonfire at dawn tomorrow… … .’

Chef Kang Si-hoo did all the work, including blanching the vegetables and seasoning them.

‘hmm…….’

The tree that saw that sight was young, but strong and very diligent.

“The rice is done, the soup is done cooking… … Now, just chop up the sashimi and bring it out to the yard. I’ll be preparing it with my friend in the yard.”

After Shihu sat down at the faucet in his old house, he struck the head of a fish with the back of his sword, knocking it unconscious, wondering how it was still alive.

Started to hit the road.

The tree created a place in the yard where people could eat meat and rice together with Han-eum.

“Oh my—I’m tired.”

He was taking his place in the yard, patting Haneum’s waist.

“The professor asked me to prepare some toads, so I’m about to take them out of the fridge. Would you like a drink too?”

“Ooh—good. Let’s hurry up and do it. What are you going to eat?”

“First, let’s go with grilled clams, raw fish, beef, tripe, and large intestine in that order.”

“Are you going to do the full course?”

“Hey, feed the kids some too.”

The tree pointed at the cats with its index finger.

Haneum and Namu nodded and quickly made room.

In the middle of the circular hole, we took out the firewood that was burning brightly from the old kitchen stove and placed it in the prepared fire pit and fanned it.

Then the fire burned even more fiercely.

Dalkaak―

The tree called out to him at the sound of a person coming out of the annex.

“Team Leader Joo, please sit here too.”

“Ah― yes.”

“Professor, please sit over here. Han-eum, can you bring me the clams that are in the refrigerator?”

“uh-.”

The tree placed one of the two copper griddles it had taken from its grandmother’s magic storage on the firebox.

Hwaruk— Hwaruk—

As the flame touched the griddle.

The griddle quickly became red hot.

The tree familiarly placed the well-dried clams on the griddle with tongs.

And on one side, a table was set with rice and soup cooked in a cauldron.

The vegetables on the table are side dishes made by Namu and Gang Si-hu.

Looking at the side dishes, Namu bit his molars and looked at Kang Si-hoo, who was preparing the raw fish.

‘I should get a Korean cuisine chef license or something… … Those hand movements are really… … .’

Shihu, who was receiving attention, smiled and put the plate down on top.

“Have some raw fish. And the raw fish seasoning and vegetables are over here.”

The tree’s eyes grew slightly wide when it saw what he had put down.

‘Really… … Chefs are different… … It’s amazing how they can make something so quickly and make it look so neat.’

Haneum took out some dew, a toad, and a can of beer from the refrigerator next to her.

“You know you shouldn’t drink it, right?”

“… … .”

The tree was unable to say anything to Haneum’s words.

I was tired so I wanted to drink.

Didn’t you have a spectacular and dynamic trip to both the sea and the mountains today?

“Okay, let me buy you a glass of soju.”

After Professor Do Jung-ha took out the ice-cold soju from the refrigerator and poured it into beer glasses.

He poked a hole in the beer cap, turned it upside down and started pouring it into a glass.

The tree smiled as it looked at Professor Dojooha.

This was because the daily life of my doctor, Shin Se-jin, seemed a little different since high school.

Blame- bang-

When the clams on the grill open their mouths and the broth inside boils, releasing the scent of the sea.

Exclamations could be heard from those who each drank a glass of soju.

“Why does it taste so good when I drink a glass and eat three pieces of raw fish?”

“Ah. Of course it’s going to be delicious. Uncle. If you eat this much raw fish in Seoul, it’ll cost you at least a few hundred thousand won.”

Do Jung-ha and Han-eum were talking about the price of the meal, while the two people from [SeeYou] were just looking at the tree’s hand.

It was as if he was shooting laser beams with his eyes.

“It’s fully cooked, so dip it in soy sauce and eat it.”

At the tree’s words, Shihu and Ha-yoon took the clams to their mouths and sprinkled some soy sauce on top.

I put it in my mouth.

Well-well- thump-

When I heard the sound of something breaking.

Everyone became quiet.

Chef Kang Si-hoo, who was receiving everyone’s attention, spread his palms, turned his body, and spat out what was in his mouth.

“uh?”
