Farming Druid - Chapter 83



Only Noblemtl

083. Why are your eyes open like that?

The conversation between the tree and the cat was briefly interrupted by the mother cat’s jaw clenching.

It was due to the appearance of a cat I had never seen before.

“Meow―. It’s okay. The guest brought a friend and he won’t harm your babies. He just looks at them because he thinks they’re cute.”

Miyaang- Aaaaong- (If that’s the case, then what? But Guardian, do you have more of this?)

Looks like the mother cat is hungry.

“If you eat too much at once, you’ll get sick. I’ll give you more at lunch, so wait.”

Yes, okay―(Yes, I will. Kids― Let’s eat.)

At their mother’s call, the kittens closed their eyes and wriggled their way toward their mother’s breast.

The tree looked at Shihu after seeing the sight.

“Aren’t all goblins the same type?”

In response to the tree’s question, Shihu opened his mouth, stammering slightly.

“Oh… … I thought so too. They say these guys are different from those kids.”

A tree that has seen a ‘black goblin’ resembling a sphinx cat watching cats from a distance.

Last night while I was having dinner, I was reminded of that sphinx-like creature’s behavior.

“This guy. I was so surprised when I heard him sneaking out yesterday and eating raw fish and drinking raw beef with raw fish… I wondered what kind of creature it was to eat like that.”

“Hahaha―. I was like that at first too, but these guys drink alcohol and eat all the food I make for them.”

Shudder―

A cat that looked like a cat sitting and watching other cats perked up its ears.

– Shifu. Someone is coming.

The cat quickly melted into the shadows.

The tree, seeing that sight, exclaimed in admiration, “Oh.”

“Hey―what are you doing here so early in the morning?”

“did you sleep well?”

The tree asked Haneum, who had built a magpie nest on his head.

“Uh-. I really overdid it yesterday, I feel like wet cotton. Are you okay… Ah. Chef Kang. Did you sleep well?”

“Yes, thanks to you.”

Shihu was about to leave the room so that the two could talk.

“Chef Kang. Is Chef Kang here this morning?”

“Ah- yes. I’ll do it… … why?”

“This guy also cooks home-cooked meals… … I fell in love with the food the chef made yesterday!”

The tree’s expression distorted at Haneum’s words.

‘What’s this new X?’

Phew-

The tree’s fist slammed into Haneum’s side.

“It hurts―. You crazy bastard. You’ve been hitting me since morning and causing trouble.”

“Don’t come here again because you’re doing something wrong. You don’t like the food I make, so you won’t accept customers.”

“Hanwoo Shrimp Meat 2+ No.9 2Kg.”

The tree’s ears perked up at Haneum’s words.

“Ahem—I thought about it, and if it’s like that, then call.”

Shihu smiled at the two people’s conversation that was like a comical talk.

It seemed like I was watching a conversation between myself and my friend here.

“I’ll go and cook.”

“Chef, I love you!”

Let’s make a small heart with both hands.

Shihoo smiled and disappeared into the kitchen carrying a basket.

“What? I love you?”

“Oh my― Is the Korean beef shrimp meat not enough? Dude?”

“This kid? Should I tell him to ride Abel’s back and run quickly to the top and back from the morning?”

Dori Dori―

“Just look at that.”

The mother cat raised her whiskers forward as she looked at the delighted expression on her guardian’s face.

‘It looks fun. I hope you name our babies later… ‘

Haaam―

The mother cat was sleepy.

I ate as much of the nutritious food the guardian had prepared for me as I wanted, but my stomach still felt a little empty.

Because you said you’d give it to me again at lunchtime.

The babies were seen drinking milk with relish.

Evil— Ssaaaak—

I fell into a deep sleep while grooming the babies’ fur.

“Mommy cat is sleeping. Let’s go.”

“uh.”

Namu and Haneum’s gaze briefly lingered on the mother cat who was sleeping while nursing her baby, then turned to the main building.

* * *

A small room in an old house.

On the table were dishes that would make your legs break in the morning.

“Hehehe― Such fancy food in the morning… … .”

“Oh my gosh. Look at this. Oh my gosh, it’s tteokgalbi. Tteokgalbi.”

The tree was gnashing its molars at its friend’s fuss.

‘You said you were a Korean cuisine specialist? I’ll get it.’

uh?

“Chef Kang. When did you make these scrambled eggs… .”

“Ah— I brought some other ingredients besides the icebox I brought yesterday.”

“Oh my – then tell me. The chickens that don’t crow have gone crazy these days and are laying a lot of eggs.”

“A chicken that doesn’t cry?”

“Ah. There was a chicken coop next to that warehouse. Didn’t you see it?”

The tree tells a simple story about a couple of chickens who don’t cry.

He said he would bring some eggs for me when he went home.

On top is a neat scrambled egg.

Freshly made braised short ribs, and grilled fish made by gently grilling yesterday’s leftover fish over charcoal.

There were side dishes made from vegetables picked from the field.

When Sihoo asked for a bunch of kimchi and gave it to him, Namu clenched his fists when he saw him make steamed kimchi with old kimchi.

In addition, the country had a good soup called buckwheat noodle soup on the table, which was suitable as a hangover cure the day after drinking.

A feeling of elation welled up in Namu’s heart as he watched the five people sitting around the table eating.

‘Good… … .’

“Oh, this is really delicious, isn’t it, Chef? Wow, this is no joke.”

“Yeah. It looks like you have really good cooking skills.”

Shihu opened his mouth as if it was nothing special to Professor Do Jung-ha and Han-eum’s praise.

“The soy sauce, red pepper paste, and doenjang from the farmer’s house were really delicious. I just seasoned it and cooked it. In reality, it was the farmer’s own sauce.”

At Shihu’s words, the tree had been feeling slightly annoyed by its friend’s fuss a moment ago, but now it was feeling better.

‘The young friend knows how to stand up to others… … He will do well in society… … .’

The tree said with satisfaction.

“Even if the sauce is good, if you don’t have a good hand, you won’t get this kind of taste.”

The tree gilded Shihu’s face.

After receiving the gold lacquer, Shihu too.

He continued speaking as if he was giving the tree back its gilding.

“90% of Korean food comes from the taste of soy sauce, so of course the taste of the soy sauce has to be good, and I think Nongju’s soy sauce is the best.”

Let us gild each other.

Haneum pouted.

“Let’s do the gilding later and eat. A little. I’m starving.”

“Eat. Eat.”

The tree gestured to its friend to eat a lot.

Professor Do Jung-ha also enjoyed a comfortable and pleasant morning together.

After the meal.

The tree placed the scorched rice boiled in a cauldron in front of each person.

“It’s scorched rice after a meal.”

Everyone exclaimed in admiration as they took a sip of the white rice crust in the bowl.

“Even the scorched rice is delicious… … .”

Professor Do Jung-ha also chimed in with Han-eum’s muttering.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

The group finished their meal and even finished dessert.

“I think it might be okay to come down like this and spend time with us sometimes.”

[SeeYou] Joo Ha Yoon’s words also made Do Jung Ha and Han Eum nod their heads in agreement.

“It might be possible if we match our off schedules… … What about you? Haneum-ah?”

“If my uncle tells me his schedule, I can follow it too.”

When Do Jung-ha looked at Joo Ha-yoon, he told her about his schedule.

The tree smiled at them.

“Excuse me… … I’m sorry to interrupt. Is the rental fee for the annex for both hands full paid in advance?”

Everyone burst into laughter as they watched the tree speak to them by rubbing its thumb and index finger together.

The tree also enjoyed this atmosphere and this time.

ha ha ha-

* * *

Kang Shi-hoo and Joo Ha-yoon greeted the tree at the front gate.

“Brother – Then I’ll come down again next time.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Next time you come, be sure to tell me about Korean food.”

“Are you going to go to an academy when you come to Seoul?”

“If there’s an academy in this city other than Seoul, I’ll try to attend.”

“Um… I’ll look for a good place and let you know.”

“Yeah. I would appreciate it if you could do that.”

After eating breakfast, Kang Shi-hoo and Joo Ha-yoon decided to talk comfortably with each other.

I finished the story.

Decided to be brother and sister.

“Thanks for the day, bro—and when the salad greens truck comes, please send it over.”

“Yeah – if you let me know your schedule in advance, I’ll make sure to harvest accordingly.”

The tree smiled and said it understood in response to Joo Ha-yoon’s greeting.

“i look forward to.”

“Yeah – sell your pearls and buy something delicious to eat.”

“Ahahaha – you sound like a country grandma.”

“She’s not a country girl, but she’s a country person.”

The tree answered cheerfully.

If there is a beginning, there is a parting.

They waved and left the house.

“It’s definitely noisy, but it’s strange because it’s quiet… … .”

After eating breakfast.

Professor Han-eum and Do-jung Ha received an emergency call from the hospital and went up to Seoul first.

He urged the tree along the way to come up for inspection.

Ugh―.

I looked around the yard and it was so quiet.

Cats were sitting here and there, basking in the sun.

A quiet and peaceful house.

The tree took the rocking chair out of Grandma’s magic storage and placed it in the yard.

It was by chance that I discovered the large rocking chair.

Because I found it yesterday when I went into the warehouse to get some griddles.

The rocking chair, with its elegant and beautiful curves that looked like it was carved from wood, had soft cushions that made it seem like you would fall asleep if you just sat down and leaned back a little.

Bang bang— bang bang bang—

The tree hit the cushion with a badminton racket.

I thought there would be a lot of dust, but there wasn’t any dust at all.

‘It seemed old… … but wasn’t it?’

After placing the rocking chair under the shade of the beautiful maple tree on the side of the annex,

I sat in the rocking chair holding an apple pad and a mug of cool green tea.

There is a cup holder next to the rocking chair, so I can fit a mug in it.

Hurrup—

A cup of refreshing green tea.

In addition, the summer sunlight shattered into halos as it hit the beautiful tree leaves.

“The weather is nice… … .”

The tree looked around, leaning against the rocking chair’s rocking motion.

Yesterday’s hustle and bustle felt like a lie.

‘They say that no one knows who has been there, but my seat is filled up quickly… ‘

Hurp-

As I held a mug of cool green tea and gave myself over to the shaking, the tree fell into a deep sleep before I knew it.

I could hear the cats talking in my sleep.

Miyang- (Jandaong)

Shh …

Miruung-(I like the guardian)

Shh …

Gurrung- Gurrung- (How many did you come this time?)

Ewww— Kkuyang—(All the house cats in heat.)

Among the house cats, the mackerel-patterned cat made the other cats hiss at the words.

Hah-(Are we going too?)

Miyang – Smile meow – (It’s nice that all the kids are so well behaved)

Phew-

The cats turned their heads at the sound of laughter.

The Guardian was seen waking up from his sleep and smiling.

“Oh my― you guys… … When did I ever take you there to buy you something to eat?”

At the tree’s words, the cats squinted their eyes while baking bread.

“Why are you opening your eyes like that? You guys haven’t been fighting over territory. Besides, if you hadn’t messed with that female cat, would I have taken you guys?”

The cats all turned their heads and hissed.

The tree burst into laughter again at that sight.

ha ha ha-

Piro- Pirororot- (Guardian, are you busy?)
