I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 106

Episode 106

Su-ah, who had come running in a hurry, tried to say something while not even catching her breath.

It won’t work.

“You can speak slowly, so take a breath. Would you like something to drink?”

“No, that’s not the point, huh… … That’s not it… … .”

Even so, it was obvious that what Su-ah said wasn’t important.

Seeing him sweating profusely, I decided to make him something cool.

Of course, since my arms are very heavy… … .

“Okay. Drink.”

“Huh? What is this?”

“Sikhye.”

“Did you do it, sir?”

I wish I had, but unfortunately I didn’t. I didn’t have time to do it today.

This was given to me by the grandfather who owned the rice paddy. To be exact, it was given to me by the owner’s daughter, the lady who runs the restaurant in town.

Besides this, there were other things I had received if I had worked hard, but for now, this was the easiest to give.

“Oh! That place is really delicious! Yay~!”

“Have you tried it too?”

“Yes! Hehe! In the summer, you have to go there to eat bibim noodles. Everything is delicious, but that’s the best.”

He knows everything. What doesn’t he know about this town?

Well, he’s a more sociable guy than Kim Jung-hyun, so he probably knows all the news in the neighborhood.

“But this isn’t for sale. My aunt makes it sometimes, and when she does, she shares a little bit with those around her. How did you get this, sir?”

“labor.”

That was also done very hard.

If it weren’t for the aura shower given by the rice fields and the land in the middle, I probably wouldn’t have been able to finish it.

“But this isn’t for sale?”

“Yes! We don’t sell it, we give it to you when you eat it.”

“iced coffee…….”

There are restaurants like that. They serve homemade shikhye or plum tea as dessert… … and there are even places that serve sujeonggwa.

But it was a service that was hard to find in the city these days.

But after hearing the story, it seems like they still do it that way here.

If you drink a well-made drink right after a meal, you won’t be jealous of an expensive course meal…

I really have to go to that restaurant later.

I’ll also give you a drink at the tiger shelter.

“Can you give me a little more?”

Su-ah lifted the cup she had already finished drinking from and looked up with wide eyes.

Where did you learn that aegyo?

“I’ll give it to you even if you don’t make that face.”

“Heh.”

They gave me quite a lot so I had plenty.

And since it wasn’t for sale anyway, no one except acquaintances would eat it.

He fills the cup again and I drink it a little more slowly this time.

Even my forehead, soaked in sweat and stuck to my forehead, seems to be able to breathe now.

“So. What’s the news?”

“Oh, that’s right! People from the broadcasting station came to our neighborhood!”

“Broadcasting station?”

“Yes! They’re from a really famous broadcasting station! They’re called TV Animal Land, and they’re the people who film animals… … .”

“ah.”

I’ll know what show it is as soon as I hear it.

Because it was one of the more famous broadcasts.

If you watch TV absentmindedly on Sunday mornings, it’s always on.

But the people filming that show came to this neighborhood?

“What was there?”

“I don’t know the details either… … Maybe that’s why they didn’t come?”

Of course. There’s no way the broadcasting station would send people here to go play.

By the way, isn’t it strange? People from famous TV shows come all the way to the countryside like this.

Oh, well, that show is famous for going to every corner of the country. Anyway, it’s enough to make Su-ah run over there in a panic.

“Hmm? Were those people from the broadcasting station earlier?”

“Huh? Did you see the old man?”

“I didn’t see it, but I heard that some outsiders came nearby.”

The restaurant owner said that to the village chief.

The broadcasting station staff were also outsiders, so it seemed likely.

Should I have gone and seen this?

I was so tired from eating the leftover rice and pulling out weeds that I just came right here.

‘No. I’ll go and do something.’

It’s better to watch it on TV later.

It was like that with everything. The processed stuff is fun, but the process of making it is more boring and uninteresting than you think.

Especially when it comes to broadcasting.

Isn’t that what the power of editing is all about?

Of course, I learned this from watching Lee Sun-ah.

The result was a really short video compared to the amount of time it took to produce one piece of content.

What that means is that most of the boring parts that were cut out are things that weren’t included in the short video.

“If you’re from TV Animal Land, are there any special animals there?”

“well?”

I haven’t heard the details, so how would I know? Maybe if you ask the village chief, he’ll know.

I heard a while ago that they were looking into the waterway.

What could be there?

“If our Lang sees it, it will be broadcasted right away. What a pity~”

“Rangi? He doesn’t do anything. The broadcast angle… … If it were Baekgu, who wouldn’t know?”

“What did the swan do?”

“Today… … I was very happy.”

He ran around very happily, trying to play with the ducklings that had been released into the field.

In return, he became a black, or rather, a mud ball, rather than a white ball.

By the way, I think Lee Sun-ah said she took the picture and uploaded it.

“So what is that~?”

“It’s already been uploaded. Now, look.”

I thought I’d just go home and lie down, but you’re editing and uploading this. Isn’t that amazing?

I played the video and could see how it could be uploaded so quickly.

I did very little editing.

“Oh! What is this? Why are the ladies and the uncle over there?”

“You don’t show your face, but you recognize me?”

“You can tell just by looking at it!”

“… … If you just look at it, it’s obvious, right?”

“That’s it.”

Yeah, let’s do that.

Anyway, after watching the video again, I could see why there was almost no editing.

There was nothing in particular to remove.

It wasn’t a very long video to begin with.

“Hehehe! Aren’t the swan’s legs too short?”

“That’s right. You were almost underwater. That’s why you became a mud ball.”

A swan chasing a duckling.

It also contains natural, funny, and cute scenes of falling into water or being fooled by a duck.

“But why do the ducklings always stay around you?”

“Huh? Really?”

Listening to Suah, it seems like the ducklings are constantly circling around me.

Keep going whether the swans chase after you or not.

So, I was still in the video, even though my face was covered.

By the way, why did they do that?

“Look at this. If you move, it chases you. Were you a mother duck in your past life?”

“… …What are you talking about?”

I shook my head at Su-ah’s strange sound.

I will come back in my previous life… … .

Anyway, he was a strange kid.

Of course, what he said before that was a bit strange.

When I move, the ducklings follow along. It’s like they’re really following the mother duck… … Ahem.

“It must have been like this for a while.”

Actually, at the time, I was so focused on pulling out blood and weeds that I didn’t even realize I was doing this.

I saw Baekgu’s condition later. And I heard Hansong’s explanation and I knew it was like this, but there was something like this on top of that…

“Phew! I think the TV Animal Kingdom should feature the old man and his ducklings.”

“… … Okay.”

I liked the program, but I never thought I would be a cast member.

But as we talk like this, I’m curious. What was filmed there?

“I guess he’s gone now?”

“Why? To go sightseeing?”

“yes!”

“Ask the village chief.”

“Huh? Does the village chief know? Oh! Oing?”

Su-ah, who had just taken out her phone and was doing something, tilted her head. Did she already contact him?

“Sir, the village chief is asking if it is okay to send that person here?”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“Check out the group chat.”

At those words, I quickly looked at my phone. Then I saw the message that the village chief had posted.

─We’re from a broadcasting station, and we might be filming at night, so we’d like to get some coffee to go. If you’re still at the cafe, would it be okay if we sent someone over?

Suah’s words were true.

To be exact, not all of them come, but it seems like only those who come to pick up drinks come.

“Sir! Hurry up! Hurry up and tell me it’s okay!”

“… … Okay, wait.”

Actually, I’m still a little tired and it’s a bit bothersome… … But it’s not like it wasn’t in the store. I felt a bit awkward refusing the village chief’s introduction.

Besides, if you want to drink coffee because of an all-night shoot… … .

‘That means you’re going to take the medication!’

Isn’t it too salty?

I also had that experience before, so I felt sympathy.

Of course we should accept such a guest.

I was so tired from talking to Su-ah that I had the energy to make a drink.

‘But what kind of filming are you doing that requires you to stay up all night?’

Are you doing any observations or something? Should I ask you when you come?

Well, it might be a bit uncomfortable.

I decided to look at the situation and ask whether I wanted to or not.

Not long after I answered the village chief, a person was seen coming up the path.

“I think it’s that guy.”

But it had a dull aura.

It looks like he hasn’t stayed up for a day or two. And he also looks a little unwell psychologically.

“Is it the PD?”

“No way, he’s the youngest.”

First of all, that’s not important, but I think it’s more important why the person is like that…

Huh? Wait. It wasn’t just one person.

Two, no, three… … !

People came up one after another, all with a gloomy aura.

‘What are those people?’

* * *

I was able to find out the whole story through the village chief’s text.

Originally, only the people picking up were going to come, but circumstances changed so everyone decided to come.

Since he said he would only stay until business hours, I told him to do the same.

It was difficult to send back the people who had already arrived, but more than anything, the conditions were all bad.

‘This is the first time so many people have come, and this is the first time that the condition is so bad.’

Recently, blue camellias have been coming in droves, but not only are their sizes different, but above all, their condition is…

“Sir, what kind of place is the broadcasting station?”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“No, why are all these people… … like that?”

Even Su-ah, who couldn’t see the aura, felt something strange and whispered at the counter, asking where the neat appearance from before had gone.

Well, it’s strange that you can’t feel it, when you’re so depressed.

“I guess something bad happened today.”

“Is that so?”

“By the way, Su-ah, isn’t it time for Su-ho to come?”

“Ah! I’ll go and check it out! Hehe! I enjoyed the shikhye!”

So Soo Ah was sent away for now.

Just in case, we need to keep our business hours a little longer depending on the situation.

“Excuse me, can I order? Sorry for coming so late at night.”

“No, please order.”

As Su-ah was about to leave, a representative came to the counter to order.

At first glance, it looks like it’s all Americano… … Well, it seems like no one really wants to eat anything else.

‘This is the first time I’ve seen so many people in such bad condition, so I don’t know what to recommend.’

If it’s one by one, I’ll try to match it.

Anyway, everyone was equipped with accumulated fatigue as standard.

And if you look closely… … the man who came to order just now was in the worst condition compared to the others.

[Go Dong-seok]

*situation

─Fatigue builds up due to irregular sleep

─A feeling of helplessness and depression that comes from something beyond one’s control.

Lethargy and depression… … .

Of course, since we don’t know the exact details, we don’t know where it came from.

So first of all, let’s start with the accumulated fatigue, which is generally not a good condition.

Sarah~

We created an attractive effect to draw attention straight to the recommended menu.

Then, the eyes of the customer who was about to order naturally turned in that direction.

“Uh, um… …Can I go back for a bit?”

“Yes, of course.”

Then he turned back to his group.

When the guest said something to the people who were lying listlessly on the chairs and tables, they all just nodded.

“Excuse me, I’d like eight glasses of this.”

And the customer who came back to order ordered from the same menu.

Of course, the lemonade was listed as a recommended menu item.

When I feel so lethargic and listless, I need to eat something refreshing and cool.

furthermore.

[Lemonade]

*effect

─Increased vitality

─Stimulates appetite

Lemonade originally also had this appetite-stimulating effect.

If you drink a beverage and feel hungry, you’ll feel a little better if you eat a full stomach.

And wouldn’t it be better if we added the reverse divergence effect here?

‘This time, I’ll have to do it step by step, little by little.’

Because we can’t go with a customized approach for each person.

After receiving the order, he went straight into the kitchen and quietly opened his ear toward the hall.

“If we miss this time too, the rescue will be late, right?”

“I have to catch it.”

Structure? I guess the concept of this broadcast is to structure something… … .

Is that what made those people like that?
