[Production Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆]

It’s a muggy day with the heat of early summer in the air.

My body, which had become hot from working all day in that weather, was cooling down with this drink.

“I, I’ll drink too!”

“Me too! Me too!”

“What if you leave us out!!”

As Lee Han drank the remaining beer in his glass in one go, those who had been holding back hastily clung to him.

“I didn’t even drink cold water today just to drink this glass!!”

“Give it to me!!”

Schrader was the first to offer his glass.

Lee Han accepted the large glass he offered and poured beer into it.

The golden beer bubbles rise and create a pure white cream.

Schrader, who was looking at the beer that made him swallow his saliva without realizing it, saw moisture slowly forming on the outside of the glass due to Lee Han.

“Huh… … Huh… … Hmm!!”

And drink it all at once.

The thrill of the ice-cold beer pouring down my mouth and going down my throat made me shiver.

“Ugh… … Ugh, I think I’m going to cry… … !”

Hongryeon, who received the next glass, was the same.

Hongryeon drank the cold beer madly without anyone saying anything, and her whole body trembled.

She, too, like Schrader, had not even drank a sip of water in order to drink the beer she was drinking now.

That thirst, that heat. It feels like the effort to endure the sweat that runs down my whole body is being rewarded.

“Kyahahahahaha!!”

“It’s the end!!”

Carmen, Rodran, and Skene were the same.

No, perhaps we should see them as having endured longer than Shredder and Hongryeon.

“Ahhhh… … Eeeeeee… … It’s killing me!!”

“Puhaaaaa!! If we dwarves don’t drink beer even for a day, it feels like thorns grow in our mouths! But this taste! It’s more than enough to ease the pain!”

“Isn’t this much better than what the Dwarven City brewers make?”

Well, that’s right, it’s a four-star beer.

Lee Han snickered as he watched them making a fuss.

“Then shall we start drinking for real?”

Realizing what he was trying to say, Schrader picked up his keg and headed toward the table.

“The beer is so good that I can eat anything I want.”

“But I guess it’s better to eat properly. Okay. Let’s fill up on this for now.”

What Lee Han brought were potato chips.

This was made just before tasting the beer.

The salty and slightly spicy potato chips went perfectly with beer.

“This keeps going in!”

“Don’t eat too much. I’m going to make chicken.”

While everyone was drinking beer with potato chips as a side dish, Lee Han took out the four-legged chicken that he had prepared during the day.

Lee Han, who had coated the well-marinated chicken with batter, put the chicken in a pot.

-Passs …

Lee Han, who was watching the chicken being fried with bubbles, shook his head at Hong Ryeon, who ran over with an empty plate.

“Can you give me more?”

“Please wait, better food will come out.”

“Okay. Got it.”

Hongryeon returns with a gloomy face.

While those at the table were just sucking their fingers and looking at him, new people came back to the cabin.

“Are you here?”

The dragon, and Leticia and her men Red and Willem.

They went to her residence to help with the dragon’s experiments and were amazed at what they saw at the table.

“Was it today? A day to drink beer.”

“Haha. Yes. Go ahead and sit down.”

As the dragon party took their seats, things got a little more noisy.

It’s always a noisy cabin, but today it’s a little noisier.

Lee Han watched them and then put the fried chicken on a sieve.

“Are you done?”

“I need to fry it one more time.”

You can get crispier fried chicken by frying it twice.

Everyone looks disappointed.

The beer is good, but it’s a shame there aren’t any good snacks to go with it.

[Delicious Salad]

[A salad topped with sliced ​​vegetables, fruits, and cheese. Refreshing and delicious.]

[Increases stamina for 6 hours when consumed with a delicious effect]

[Increased willpower for 6 hours when consumed with delicious effects]

[When consumed with a delicious effect, production skill power increases for 12 hours]

[Production Difficulty: ☆☆☆]

“You are eating at least this.”

While the chicken was frying, Lee Han moved quickly to make a salad.

It was a salad made with cabbage, moonlight tomatoes, onions, and other vegetables and fruits, topped with cheese and sauce.

Those who received plates full of salad moved their forks quickly.

“I like how crunchy the vegetables are.”

“Did you get this cheese from Leon? The cheese turned out really well this time.”

“Tomatoes are delicious.”

“I have lettuce… … .”

Everyone enjoyed the salad because it was made with fresh vegetables picked from the field.

But my desire for chicken was only growing.

“Hehehe. It’s already started?”

“Walter! Come in!”

Walter walked in, carrying a few bottles of alcohol and a piece of meat.

Walter smiled leisurely as he watched everyone holding their glasses, gave what he had brought to Lee Han, and headed to his seat.

‘It was a good thing I slaughtered a lot of chickens.’

The bright chickens that Shredder and Hongryeon caught yesterday were cleaned and put in the refrigerator.

Lee Han glanced at the number of people and put the fried chicken on a plate.

“I’m out~! I’m a little late! Sorry! Sorry!”

The last one to come was the Black Blood Dragon.

He came carrying two large one-horned deer in each hand and entered the crowd of people who were chatting and enjoying themselves noisily.

“Enjoy your meal.”

I made enough chicken for four four-legged chickens, but I didn’t think that would satisfy everyone.

That’s why Schrader caught Lee Han, who was trying to fry more.

“Lee Han! You should have a drink too!”

“Yeah! Yeah! You’re the one who had the hardest time.”

“Shouldn’t the disciple be the one giving the toast?”

As everyone’s eyes turned to him, Lee Han smiled and lifted a glass full of beer.

“Let’s eat and die today.”

“Ohhhh!!”

The party, which started early in the evening, showed no signs of ending even late into the night.

I had to fry all the generously prepared chicken and cook other dishes, but it wasn’t bad.

Lee Han took a sip of his beer as he watched the slightly drunk dwarves sing and dance to the dwarf song.

“Now that you’ve made beer, what do you plan on making next?”

“well…….”

Lee Han muttered softly without looking at the dragon sitting next to him.

I don’t have anything special in mind right now.

Should I start growing rice again?

Or maybe we should look for a new crop?

Lee Han, who was watching the dwarves dance while sipping beer, shrugged his shoulders slightly.

“Should we try growing fruit?”

“It’s a fruit… … .”

“I’m thinking about growing grapes. Or maybe coffee.”

Grapes were a crop that could be easily obtained even in the elven kingdom.

And coffee is mostly native to the southern part of the continent, so if you get the seeds from there, you can grow it.

“Wine would be better.”

“What’s wrong? Oh, do you like wine?”

“Haha. That’s true, but wine is also a drink often used in ceremonies.”

“Consciousness?”

“Religious rituals, you say? You’re the Pope of the Gaia Church?”

“Yes. That’s what happened.”

“As the Pope, shouldn’t you perform a ceremony for God at least once? I’ve heard that wine is a must in the ceremony that the Pope of the Gaia Church performs for Gaia.”

“Oh. Do you know anything about the Gaia Church?”

“I don’t know much. A long time ago. When I was a human, I was friends with the Pope of the Gaia Church. It’s just what I heard from my friend back then.”

Lee Han realized anew that the old woman next to him had lived longer than he could have ever imagined.

The dragon, who noticed what he was thinking while looking at him, smiled brightly.

“Those who live long are lonely. I don’t intend to deny that. But it’s not bad.”

Her gaze was directed at the laughing and chatting cabin family.

Tree, Letish, and Hongryeon were seen dancing with the dwarves, perhaps because they found the dance fun.

“Yeah. Because we can laugh and chat like this.”

The dragon’s eyes showed more joy than pain.

The next morning.

Unlike those who drank and partyed until dawn, Lee Han, who fell asleep around midnight, woke up at his usual time.

“hmm…….”

Lee Han, who was about to go and look at the field as he had been doing, stopped in front of the beer storage room.

After looking at the beer kegs for a moment, Lee Han picked up the one that had been filled with divine power and headed to the field.

He stopped in front of the statue of the goddess Gaia.

Lee Han placed a keg of beer in front of him.

“… … .”

-Wooooow… … !!

The beer keg disappears with a low rumble.

Lee Han smiled, satisfied that the goddess Gaia had accepted the offering.

And then, when I turned around to look at the field,

-Bam.

Lee Han turned his head when he heard the sound of something falling.

A watering can could be seen placed where there had been nothing before.

[Legendary – Gaia’s Watering Can]

[A watering can filled with the will of Gaia, the goddess of the earth. It can hold infinite water and is not affected by weight. When given divine power, it can create holy water.]

[Additional divinity can be added when granting holy water to crops]

[Trait can be added when giving holy water to crops]

[Changeable shape according to user’s will]

“… … What is this?”

It looks like an ordinary watering can, but it is a legendary-grade tool.

Lee Han stared blankly at the watering can, then closed his eyes and opened them again when he saw the shape change.

“oh.”

What had been a watering can shape just a moment ago has now changed into a water bottle shape.

Lee Han, who had been staring at it intently, turned his gaze towards the statue of the goddess Gaia.

‘Crops are sacred… … .’

So does that make it a sacred crop?

So how is it different from others?

My heart is pounding.

As a farmer, if you get something like this, you have to try it right away.

Lee Han brought the moonlight tomato seedlings and planted them in a small field.

He watered it with Gaia’s watering can and strengthened its intellect, and finally, he used accelerated growth.

‘Nothing special has changed on the outside?’

The moonlight tomatoes that grew well were not much different from the moonlight tomatoes in other fields.

It must have been imbued with divinity, so what changes have occurred?

As Lee Han was silently staring at the moonlight tomatoes, Walter approached him from behind.

“What the… … .”

Walter’s eyes were fixed on the moonlight tomatoes.

Walter spoke with a look of trepidation as he looked at him, wondering if he knew something as an undead.

“How did the Moonlight Tomato contain the same level of divinity as your Holy Sword?”
