Episode 178

89. New minerals obtained – 2

There is no jackpot like this jackpot.

Not only the truth, but even gold comes out.

Seolhwa did not hide her joy.

I was so happy that I didn’t even notice that my tail was wagging so hard that it almost fell off, and then I suddenly turned my head away.

“why?”

“Now that I have gold and silver, I won’t have to just rely on you!”

Although they don’t have it, Seolhwa is also a proud member of the Daesurim tribe.

Since we received what we did not have, it is only natural that we should share what we have.

“Do you need any gold?!”

Human nature comes from the granary.

Seol-hwa spoke leisurely, as if she had already obtained dozens of boxes of gold, and Lee-han snickered.

“What use would there be for gold in the Great Forest?”

“Huh.”

This is an unexpected statement.

Seolhwa had been outside the forest before.

Outside the Great Forest, we know how much gold is worth.

So I thought it would be helpful to those who deal with those outside of Daesurim.

As the wagging tail suddenly stopped, Carmen patted Lee Han on the back.

“Gold is a metal that is used in many places. It is used not only in magic and alchemy, but also in magical engineering, so it will definitely be helpful.”

“That’s right!! That’s right!!”

“Haha. Okay. So? You’re going to give me some of the gold too?”

“Of course! I want to receive crops instead!”

“Aren’t you thinking of trading in silver?”

“I’m thinking about doing that too, but gold wouldn’t be bad either. There are things I need from outside.”

Although they didn’t say anything, there were quite a few things that were needed in the eastern part of the Great Forest.

Not only food, but also things like wool and glass.

If possible, I also wanted to change the houses in the village, which were nothing more than mud huts, into huts.

“I want to do those things for the guys who are allies with me.”

“Oh.”

“There are many people who helped us when we were having a hard time, so shouldn’t we repay that favor?”

In the past, debts were repaid by helping with hunting or providing strength when a monster appeared.

But now that I have gold and silver, I can repay the favor with other things as well.

Seol-hwa, very excited, started talking about the things she had to do and wanted to do in the future.

Behind that tale, other Suin tribes also shared stories about what they wanted.

Yihan and the dwarves simply accepted their story.

“But how do you refine gold ore into gold?”

Seol-hwa and her subordinates, who had been chattering enthusiastically, shut their mouths.

That’s definitely true.

Whether it’s gold or silver, it needs to be processed to have real value.

And in the Great Forest, the only ones who could do such things were the Ihan and the dwarves right in front of them.

“Uh. Hmm.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll do it for a fee.”

“Isn’t that fee too high?”

“… … .”

“Answer me!”

Lee Han chuckled at Seol-hwa’s cries with a sad face.

The story quickly became tearful when it realized that it was a joke, and the tail expressed this.

Seolhwa, who had been wagging her tail and hitting Lee Han hard, clenched her fists and trembled.

“Then let’s talk about how much commission we should charge.”

It was decided to charge a fee of 20% of the production amount, including labor costs, reagent usage fees, and other waste disposal costs.

Seolhwa said she could take more, but Leehan just shook his head.

“You guys are the ones who dig up the light. You can’t ignore that. Also, you have to go through me to get this and that, right? You get something from it, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”

“If that’s the case, then that’s good.”

From now on, you can receive the things you get from the central region with more confidence.

The children standing behind the proud Seol-hwa raised their hands.

“Then can I get more honey sweet potatoes?!”

“I’m a stone potato!”

“I want to get some candy!”

“snack?”

“Yeah! I heard from the kids in the central region that they got some really delicious snacks. I think it was called yakgwa… …?”

Last time, I made a lot of medicine and distributed it to my allies, the Suin tribe.

The kids who got it quite liked it, it seems like they met them.

“You!! When did you go to the central part?!?”

“Oh. That, that. I met him when I went hunting with the adults… … .”

No matter how strong the Suin tribe was, the Great Forest was not a place where a child who had not proven his worth as a warrior could wander around.

But even if the adults were with them, they went outside.

It’s not strange for me to be single.

“Take me.”

“Eww! Captain! I was wrong~!”

Maybe that guy needs some more training today to become a warrior.

While the child who burst into tears at Seolhwa’s cold-hearted punishment was being dragged away, the children who had learned about the medicine turned their eyes toward Lee Han.

“Ahem. Can I get some other snacks besides those cookies?”

For children in the East, snacks were virtually non-existent.

We don’t have much to eat right now, so why are we having snacks?

But now it’s different.

That’s why Seol-hwa asked Lee Han, and he thought for a moment and nodded.

“Wouldn’t it be better to make something that can be stored for a longer time?”

“Um. Yeah.”

“Then come to the cabin tomorrow.”

“Oh, I understand. I’ll take the gold mine and the silver mine.”

The next day.

After finishing the morning’s work and in the afternoon, Lee Han checked the morning meal he had prepared.

Everyone was looking forward to it, thinking that he was going to make another medicine, but Lee Han was trying to make something different.

“Why are you so insistent on Jo Cheong?”

“I have something to make.”

“what?”

“Fuck.”

When the rice cake had thickened to the point of being sticky, Lee Han poured the thickened rice cake onto a cotton cloth spread on the table.

The misty mist of morning glory begins to harden little by little in the cold of late autumn.

“Are you splitting this to eat?”

“That’s okay, but there’s a way to make it taste even better.”

When it hardened to a certain degree, Lee Han increased the amount of syrup by sprinkling starch on it.

As it stretched out and turned white, I folded it again and stretched it out, then folded it again and stretched it out. As I repeated this several times, the brown taffy gradually turned white.

“Can I try it too?”

Hongryeon, who had just washed her hands, began to stretch the taffy.

If it feels too hard, soften it a bit with a sunstone placed next to it and repeat the stretching process.

As time went by, the taffy became even whiter, and when it reached a certain point, Lee Han cut the taffy with scissors.

[Delicious Taffy]

[A cookie made by stretching the hardened syrup. It is rich and sweet.]

[Slightly increases dexterity for 24 hours when consumed due to its delicious effect]

[Increased willpower for 24 hours when consumed with delicious effects]

[Increases stamina for 24 hours when consumed with a delicious effect]

[Slightly increases willpower for 6 hours when consumed]

[Production Difficulty: ☆☆☆]

“where…….”

Shredder, holding the long piece of candy, tried to break it lightly.

He was amazed at the holes inside and put the taffy in his mouth.

“Oh. This is delicious. It’s moderately sweet and savory, so it’s good to eat as a snack.”

“It tastes strange. It’s like candy… … .”

“It’s a flavor that kids would like.”

“Unlike fancy desserts, this kind of taste is pretty good.”

Lee Han, who was grinning, grabbed the remaining Jo Cheong.

While those who wondered if he was making taffy again were looking on curiously, Lee Han moved his hand.

“oh…….”

Lee Han started to stretch the round, hollowed out, …

As his hand movements continued, the shape of the bowl in Lee Han’s hand changed.

“It’s like a thread.”

“It looks like a spider web?”

The thinned rice cake, covered in starch, has now become so thin that it would not be an exaggeration to call it a spider web.

Lee Han cut it into bite-sized pieces, put in nuts or dried fruit, and rolled it up.

[Delicious Honey]

[A snack made by stretching and spreading out the taffy. It is thin like a thread and has a soft, sweet taste.]

[Increased dexterity for 24 hours when consumed with delicious effects]

[Production Difficulty: ☆☆☆]

“Wow! What is this?!”

“Honey trap. To be exact, it’s called Pishmaniye, and it’s also called Yongsu-dang.”

“Dragon water allowance?”

“It’s called the dragon’s beard.”

“Then I guess I can’t not try it.”

The dragon who had been watching from behind said, “When did you come?”

While those who were surprised by her appearance without a sound retreated, the dragon approached and tried the honeycomb.

The dragon looked at the bite-sized pieces of pure white honey and took a bite.

“It’s so sweet. And it’s so soft.”

The savory nuts in the sweet tare go well together.

Seeing the dragon looking satisfied, everyone picked one up and tried it.

“Is this okay?”

“delicious!”

“It’s too sweet for me to eat.”

“I like it! All fairies would like it?!”

Those who tried the honeycomb and taffy each shared their impressions.

Lee Han smiled brightly and collected the things he had created.

“But who was this made for?”

“That guy.”

Seolhwa was standing where Lee Han pointed.

Lee Han approached Seol-hwa with calm steps and handed her a bag of candy and a box of honey.

“You can eat the taffy at your own leisure, but it’s better to eat the honey quickly. It melts quickly anyway.”

“Okay, I’ll eat well. I think the kids will really like it.”

A smile appeared on Seol-hwa’s face as she put down the ores she had brought.

The cabin family members who were watching this were dumbfounded.

“That’s the tale.”

“What did you say? Was it something like, ‘I don’t like humans that much!’?”

“Look at that tail wagging.”

“It seems very good.”

Seolhwa bowed her head deeply.

Since he said what he said, there is no way to refute it.

Everyone laughed hysterically at the sight, and Seol-hwa growled as she watched Lee-han smiling happily.

“What, why are you laughing like that?”

“Just. Anyway, is that where you got this?”

“Uh, uh.”

“Okay. Then let’s make it painful… … .”

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“No. There isn’t any.”

This is my business and the dwarves’ business.

Seol-hwa, who was watching Lee Han collect the ore, couldn’t stand the snickering expressions of the cabin family and ran away.

Shredder, who was looking at it with a smile, approached Lee Han.

“Hey. Let’s say gold and silver, what are you planning to make with silver?”

“Well. Should I get our family members some gear? Don’t they need armor?”

Among the water people I met outside the Great Forest, there were some who wore armor.

When I asked if he might need a shredder, he chuckled.

“You already have a strong body, but if you wear proper armor, you’ll be invincible.”

“Haha. Okay. Okay.”

“Then, can you make one for me too?”

Walter, who was sitting at the table, sipping his moonshine tomato juice with nobility, raised his hand.

This is the most unexpected request.

A vampire asks for real armor.

“Ah. There’s a vampire gathering coming up soon. I’ll have to kill some of their spirits then.”
