Chapter 5: If you give me the mushrooms, I will give you the deposit (3)

“Oh, really? Actually, I don’t even know who the employer is. I only saw the employee.”

“Tsk tsk, even though it’s a pointless job, working me all day for an entire month and only earning 800,000 won? I’ve known for a long time that old lady in Seoul is a cold-hearted person, but this is just too much.”

“I guess the owner of this mountain has a lot of money.”

“A lot. I heard that his son or son-in-law runs a big company in Seoul. The annual sales are said to be in the trillions. Wow!”

“Wow, that’s awesome. But that’s not grandma’s money.”

“Do you think the son or son-in-law ran that company all by himself? He’s just running what that old lady passed down to him. And look at that old lady. She bought this useless mountain and built this magnificent palace.”

“I see. Well, I don’t care as long as I get the money I was promised.”

“Well, if you don’t feel wronged, then so be it. But do you keep the mansion doors locked?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“People here aren’t like that.”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

The old man cleared his throat and continued speaking calmly.

“What is a neighbor? It is a saying that contains the spirit of the old sages who said that neighbors are closer than cousins. In our village, we don’t have fences or locked gates. We come and go freely as if it were our own home.”

“I see. But this isn’t my house, so there’s nothing I can do.”

“Hey, young people are so inflexible.”

“No one lives here anyway, so even if I leave the door open there’s no one to chat with.”

When Ha Su-yeong shrugged her shoulders, the old man grimaced as if he was not pleased.

“Sir, please look at my situation. I work more than 30 days a month for a meager 800,000 won just to make ends meet. I can’t do this or that as I please.”

“But there is such a thing as human nature.”

“I’ll take a look soon and throw a party in the yard. I haven’t been working for very long, so I guess I’ll have to buy something for now, right?”

Only then did the old man’s face soften a little.

“The young man is not completely without a clue.”

“By any chance, how is your old man Hamza?”

“Park Chung-won. I am the head of this village.”

“Oh, you’re the village chief. I’ll be counting on you in the future.”

“Yeah, but you’re still polite.”

Park Chung-won turned around with his luggage on his back, feeling happy, and Ha Su-yeong looked at his back with a lively smile.

“Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve heard that country spirit.”

The very idea of ​​keeping the front gate open, citing country spirit and neighborly affection, is absurd.

“What on earth do you have to do in this empty house? Are you just going to lay down a mat in the shade of the garden and play a game of baduk?”

If that’s really the case, it would be creepy in a different way.

Ha Su-yeong examined the mountain carefully.

After a few days of exploring the mountains, he was able to confirm that he had picked a really good property.

First of all, the mountain was completely undeveloped. There was not a single common hiking trail in sight. It was almost untouched by human hands.

However, the slope and terrain were not too rough for mountain climbing.

The secretly built tomb has not yet been discovered.

“This is perfect for growing mushrooms.”

Ha Su-yeong found a suitable place to grow mushrooms that was not easily visible from the village or road.

And they hired about 10 workers from outside the area and brought them into the mountain to clear the land.

“Young boss, what on earth are you trying to plant in such a secluded mountain? Should you grow poppies?”

“If you’re going to grow poppies, why hire people? Do it secretly. I’m just trying to make a shiitake mushroom farm.”

“Oh, I see.”

Ha Su-yeong quickly became friendly with the workers and finished the work in one day, exchanging all sorts of unpleasant words.

The person in charge who made the poppy joke said as he collected his pay.

“The boss doesn’t look like much, but he seems to be the type who uses his body a lot. These guys are pretty rough around the edges, but they seem to get along well.”

“What are you talking about? I’m going to collect rent later, buy a yacht in a place like the Maldives, and spend the rest of my life leisurely.”

“Oh my, for that to happen, I’d have to receive at least 1 billion won even if I can’t pay the rent.”

“That’s ridiculous. My dreams are grand.”

“When will I be able to build a building that charges rent like that by selling shiitake mushrooms?”

After saying goodbye to the workers he had grown attached to in just one day, Ha Su-yeong headed towards a large chest hidden in a corner.

He laid out the contents of the box on a makeshift workbench made of iron plates.

It was a bottle of elixir and a few golden silk mushrooms.

He soaked the mushrooms completely in the elixir, then took them out and tore them into very fine pieces.

He cut up all the mushrooms and scattered them over a field measuring 200 meters by 200 meters that he had just cleared.

“Come on, come on, grow up quickly.”

That day, Ha Su-yeong did not return home but slept in a mansion at the foot of the mountain.

When I lowered the fully automatic external blinds, even though the lights were bright inside, it was pitch black outside. I was satisfied with the fact that my privacy was protected.

“Security is really good. As expected, money is good.”

That day, Ha Soo-young had a dream about sailing on a cruise in the Maldives.

In my dream, my smartphone was blaring like crazy, an alarm notifying me that my rent had been deposited, and I didn’t even have time to check how much had come in.

The next day.

Ha Soo-young woke up from a late night sleep because of a phone call from Jeon Seong-ryeol.

-Oh, you were sleeping?

“No, I was going to get up anyway. What’s wrong?”

– Mr. Ha said last time that he was cultivating golden umbrella mushrooms. I was curious as to what happened with that.

“It seems to have worked out well. I think you should look into the distribution network right away.”

-No, already?

“Actually, I already prepared everything and told you.”

-Oh, I haven’t even thought about it properly yet. This is a big problem.

“I’ve made a mushroom patch. Would you like to come and take a look? I’ve already planted the seeds. They haven’t grown yet, though.”

-Okay, let’s go right now.

I’ll send you the address. Just put it in your navigation and come.”

After sending the address, Ha Soo-young took a shower and changed clothes.

After a quick breakfast with instant noodles, I checked to see if I had any leftover elixir from yesterday.

Today, I checked the properties and prices in Cheongdam-dong and waited for Jeon Seong-ryeol to arrive.

“No, this building?”

Ha Su-young, who was checking out the property in Cheongdam-dong, opened her eyes wide.

The building that he had been particularly fond of while working in the past was registered.

“You, six hundred billion?”

Ha Su-yeong suddenly checked her bank account balance.

Do you have about 7.2 billion now?

After paying the remaining 710 million won here, will there be 6.49 billion won left?

“I can barely afford the deposit.”

Ha Soo-young made a phone call with the intention of trying something new. She wasn’t really planning on signing a contract, but she was interested in the property, so she wanted to ask about it.

-Oh, that item? It’s already sold out.

“Huh? No, but why is it up on the Nextnet real estate corner?”

-I requested the listing to be deleted, but it looks like the website administrator hasn’t taken action yet. By the way, there’s another listing similar to that one. Would you like to take a look?

“Is this Cheongdam-dong?”

-It’s not Cheongdam-dong, it’s in Yongsan-gu… … .

“Okay. I won’t look.”

Ha Soo-young hung up the phone and grumbled.

“They said the problem of fake real estate listings on the Internet was so serious, and here I am, caught up in it. Why would a busy person get excited and put up fake listings and go fishing, really?”

At that time, I received a call from Jeon Seong-ryeol.

The message was that they had arrived.

Ha Su-yeong quickly left the mansion and greeted Jeon Seong-ryeol.

After exchanging brief greetings, they climbed the mountain. Before they had even reached the halfway point, Jeon Seong-ryeol was out of breath.

“Oh, is it still far? How long do you plan on going up?”

“We’re halfway there now.”

“Why did you build a mushroom farm so deep in the ground?”

“It’s for theft prevention. There’s nothing we can do until we build a fence at the bottom of the mountain.”

After a difficult hike, the two arrived at a mushroom farm, and Jeon Seong-ryeol was amazed by the magnificent view that unfolded before his eyes.

“Oh my god, my goodness.”

Ha Su-young was equally surprised.

“Wow, my goodness.”
