I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With - Chapter 566
566 – Side story) Naengchae Jokbal
From noble mtl dot come
-Snap!
“Aunt~! I’m here! “Here’s just one cold vegetable pig’s feet!”
Jeon So-rim bursts through the store door as if she’s familiar.
It was clear that she was a long-time regular, as she was ordering comfortably as if calling her real aunt. I could tell right away from the way they boldly ordered without even looking at the menu.
The store was relatively quiet considering its size.
At most there were only two teams.
Even though it was early in the evening, the number of customers was not typical of a restaurant.
“aunt? “Is this a store run by the Shaolin family?”
“It’s not like that, Riley.”
“to? “Then what is it?”
“It’s a title used between people who feel close, like relatives. “It’s a nickname often used in restaurants.”
“A nickname for the chef? aha! “Is this the same thing as calling me uncle?”
“It’s similar. “It’s probably a store I visit often enough that I feel comfortable calling her aunt.”
“Oh, this is a strangely familiar culture.”
Rayleigh nods at my explanation.
The guy is busy rolling his eyes here and there.
I guess the environment I encountered for the first time was amazing.
As expected, the interior of the jokbal restaurant was very rustic. It felt like a raw, old-fashioned restaurant hidden in a corner of an alley, with no fancy lighting or neat menus.
From the phrase ‘20 years of tradition’ written in small letters on the corner of the menu, I could tell that this restaurant was older than I thought.
A landscape where time seems to have stopped in the past.
A sense of antiquity is felt everywhere.
Everything, including the table, chairs, wallpaper, and menu.
Even the store owner’s impression gives me a warm and familiar feeling, like an aunt I haven’t seen in a long time.
“Oh my, my poopy puppy! “Did you come to see your aunt’s face today too?”
“Of course~! “You came running as soon as you got off work today?”
“I drew it, I cursed at it. “Please sit down now.”
The owner, who has impressive permed hair, jumps out and welcomes Sorim.
“Aunt too? “I have to let you go so I can sit down.”
The owner greets Sorim in a friendly way. She hugs Sorim like she would her real family. Seeing things like this, I think they may be closer than just regulars.
“I do it because I’m happy to see it. But why are people looking for cold vegetable pig’s feet? “Why don’t you just order what you always eat?”
“Ah, I have a group with me today.”
“Oh my~ Our Sorim. “Have you found a boyfriend yet?”
Only then did the boss turn his gaze and look at us. Her busy eyes suddenly stop on Rayleigh.
“however… … . Who is that pretty little girl? “You’re not a bachelor with a daughter, are you?”
“W-what are you saying-! “She’s your niece, not your daughter?”
Sorim, embarrassed, stutters to answer.
Because it wasn’t completely wrong.
In fact, she is smaller than Rayleigh, but has a daughter.
Moreover, at least three more children were expected to be born in the future.
“kk…” ! That’s what it was! I almost threw salt on it. Anyway, our poopy puppy brought his lover. Are you really all grown up now?”
“Hmm! That’s it! Ji, Jihoon? And Rayleigh… no, Rayleigh? Say hello. “This is my second aunt.”
“Ah? It was really my aunt… … ?”
*
After a brief chat with Jeon So-rim’s aunt, Seong Ji-hoon and Rayleigh enter the restaurant.
“If you sit inside, I’ll give you a delicious meal right away, so sit down.”
“thank you.”
“Thank you, Aunt.”
“Giggles! “This little foreign girl speaks Korean well.”
The store owner leaves with a big smile. She leaves with a slight wink at Jeon So-rim.
“Shaolin. “So this is the store your aunt runs?”
“huh. “I guess you didn’t know because it was your first time?”
“You idiot. “My aunt said it was just a nickname.”
“Hmm! “I didn’t know you were my real aunt.”
“Phew… !”
Jeon So-rim bursts into laughter.
She was just happy at this moment.
Just being able to have a weekend dinner with my boyfriend made me feel full of happiness.
Of course, Rayleigh was caught in the middle,
That was probably a good Jeon So-rim.
There was a separate purpose for bringing Rayleigh in the first place.
“But what is naengchae pig’s feet? Looking at the pictures hanging in the store, it looks like they use pig legs… … .”
Rayleigh tilts his head as he looks at the old menu.
“You will know when you try it. “I think you’ll probably like it.”
“okay? Looking at his confident attitude… … . “Did they even consider my tastes in the dinner menu?”
“Oh, how did you know? “It’s accurate!”
“Hoo, you’ve only been picking out amazing things from a while ago… … ?”
Rayleigh nods as if it’s okay.
As expected, it has been a passing grade so far.
In reality, Rayleigh had decided that this was a good female.
But finishing is the most important.
‘… If the food isn’t that good, maybe you should think seriously again?’
It had been less than five minutes since they sat down.
“Everyone waited a long time, right? “My aunt will prepare food for you in a moment.”
-Rattle!
Jeon So-rim’s aunt sets down a large tray of cold vegetable pig’s feet.
In addition, she constantly puts out various side dishes and foods. With all the table setting going on, there was not enough space on the table.
“what? Auntie, why is there so much? Is it different from usual? And I didn’t order this… … ?”
“What are you talking about, you idiot? It’s service.”
“No matter how good the service is, I’m going to break my upper leg!”
“What if something breaks? “I brought such a great boyfriend and a cute little girl, so I can’t be upset!”
The feast continues to be served.
Moist and colorful cold vegetable pig’s feet.
Delicious boiled pork with a hint of steam rising.
And freshly boiled bibim makguksu and cold cucumber soup for a mouth-watering treat.
If you include the other hand-made side dishes, there is no separate table for a king.
“Thank you for caring me. “It looks really delicious.”
Seong Ji-hoon, who was quietly looking at the food, expressed his gratitude. His comment that it looked delicious was by no means an empty remark.
[Naengchae Jokbal – ✮★★★★]
[Meat flavored with various seasonings, vegetables, and oriental medicinal ingredients. Food mixed with spicy mustard sauce, cucumbers, carrots, and jellyfish. Different people may have different tastes because the taste is strong enough to pierce the nose, but if it suits your taste, you will quickly fall in love with the sour and spicy taste as if you are addicted.]
Just like the star rating in his eyes, these were not ordinary foods. The taste of boiled pork was also approaching 8-star.
‘I understand why Sorim confidently brought me here. But why does it look like there are so many people in the store? No matter how early the evening is, it’s still the weekend… … .’
One question lingers in his mind.
Even though the store was quiet, it was too quiet.
Apart from the high-quality food, there were not many customers.
“… Now, this is a service for the little lady.”
Anyway, Jeon So-rim’s aunt continues to provide services.
“What’s this?”
“huh? Isn’t there something like this in your country? “What comes to mind when I see orange hair?”
ㅡDalgak!
Additionally, Jeon So-rim’s aunt puts on a bottle of Fanta.
“Oh, and if you don’t have enough boiled pork, tell me again. “It’s so adult-like that I don’t know if there’s anything for a child to eat.”
“Ugh, aunt. “Don’t overdo it!”
“What are the crowds? There are no customers… … . “But there’s still a lot of meat, so eat slowly!”
Behind the cheerful tone, a slightly bitter expression appears. She quickly turns her back and disappears, afraid that her face will be seen like this.
“Aunt too… … . Actually, I ordered cold vegetable pig’s feet because of Rayleigh… … .”
Jeon So-rim, who knew very well what was going on, could only look at her aunt’s back with pity.
“Hey man… … .”
“hmm? “What’s wrong, Riley?”
“I think everything is set up now… … . Can I eat it? I can’t take it anymore… … .”
Anyway, Rayleigh’s interest was focused entirely on food.
Other than the lemon tart and the snacks Jeon So-rim provided, I hadn’t eaten anything all day, so it was natural that I was hungry.
“of course. Should I try eating it soon?”
“Oh, before that, Riley? Would you like to try this first?”
ㅡUgh… !
Jeon So-rim recommends starting with cold cucumber soup.
She puts on a confident face.
Because I knew very well that sour and sour food was Riley’s taste.
“Hmm… … ?”
Rayleigh shows caution when seeing food for the first time. She looks closely at the cold cucumber soup on a small plate.
‘Is this soup made with cucumbers…? … ? It may seem like an unwieldy food to look at, but out of courtesy, should I take a bite?’
-Whoop… !
After finishing his search, Rayleigh carefully placed his mouth on the soup bowl. At the same time, her neck slowly twitches.
And not long after… … .
“Keuuu good… !? Hey, this is totally my taste, isn’t it? “This is my first time eating cold soup, but it’s pretty good, right?”
Let out a satisfied exclamation.
“Raylee? “Do you like cold cucumber soup?”
“huh! very! “The sour, sour taste really whets my appetite?!”
“Heh, I thought you would like it, too.”
It was a moment when Jeon So-rim’s prediction came true.
“huh? “But why aren’t you two eating and just staying quiet?”
“Oh, I don’t like it that much… … .”
“Hmm, sister? “If it’s okay, would you like to eat ours too?”
“huh? I like it, but why do I eat this delicious food… … ?”
Rayleigh tilted his head and emptied the entire bowl of cold cucumber soup one after another. For her, cold cucumber soup was the best appetizer.
“You eat really well. “If you’re done eating, would you like to try this too?”
Seong Ji-hoon naturally hands over cold vegetable pig’s feet.
He makes ssam with his skillful hands.
Pig’s feet marinated in mustard sauce, various vegetables, and even a translucent jellyfish strain are piled on top of the lettuce.
“Hoo? Are you eating it all at once like this?”
“that’s right. “It will be easier to understand if you think of it as a salad with pork.”
“Hmm, having a lot of vegetables doesn’t really matter… … . “But it was made by you.”
ㅡWow… !
Rayleigh seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then opened his mouth wide.
Although he had the body of a small child, the dragon was a dragon. With that small mouth, he swallowed a fist-sized piece of ssam in one mouthful.
ㅡMumble mumble… … !
Eventually, Rayleigh closes his eyes, moves his teeth, and slowly savors the taste.
The first words she uttered when she tasted cold vegetable pig’s feet for the first time in her life were… … .
“
Cough! hhh? This is spicy… … ?!”
It was a struggle mixed with violent coughing.
