Episode 127

“great!”

Hansong immediately agreed. He smiled and handed Hansong the apron.

Of course I didn’t intend to make you do hard work. But still, work is work.

“Today, we will roast and blend dried green coffee beans.”

“Wow! This will be fun!”

“and…….”

Of course, that wasn’t the end.

I told my favorite song what more I had to do today.

It was only natural that weeding was included.

I even had to do that yesterday because I couldn’t knead any dough.

“Did the boss originally do all that by himself?”

“Well, is that what you mean?”

“Wow… … I had no idea that was the case because you always seemed so relaxed every time I came.”

Hansong-i seemed a little shocked after hearing the amount of work each day.

But is it really worth reacting like that?

There are still a few left.

‘I have to take care of the garden, and if I told you that I was going to make a hand grinder today, you’d run away.’

Anyway, I didn’t plan on asking Hansong to do this, so I won’t tell you.

The garden requires farming talent, and the grinder also requires woodworking talent as well as woodworking talent.

Oh right. Since we were running out of honey, I had to go to Bongbong’s to get some.

“If you adapt, you can do it faster than you think.”

“… … Are you adjusting?”

“Don’t you think things are going well?”

“Hmm. I guess so.”

“Okay! Then let’s start by cleaning up first.”

“yes…….”

It was clear that Hansong had a bad expression on his face, but he had already started.

I quietly handed him the broom as he rolled up his sleeves and showed off his enthusiasm.

“Let’s get started.”

Srrrrung~

I played a song.

And naturally, he put his talent for tuning into it.

Now, things were really happening smoothly.

The auras danced to the song.

“Wow~! It really feels like I’m working at a cafe! It’s my first time!”

Then, Hansong’s body, which had seemed slightly heavy, became lighter along with the song.

But seriously, what kind of person does something for the first time like that?

Hansong-i swept excitedly like a child holding a broom for the first time.

Of course, since it was a place that was swept and mopped every day, there wasn’t much to clean.

The table side was also clean.

“When is your friend planning to arrive?”

“Um. He didn’t tell me the exact time. He said he’d come over after he finished what he was doing, so maybe around lunchtime? He said he’d come before the deadline.”

Okay, that’s fine. Just come before the deadline.

Huh? No. So you’re saying you’re going to stay at the cafe for a bit at that late hour and then go home?

That seems like a bit too tight a schedule.

“Ah! And he’s going to sleep here tonight. When I told him about life here, he said he was so jealous and insisted on staying here.”

“okay.”

Then it won’t matter if I come late.

It’s also nice to have Hansong-i do the work for you.

“But it’s really like that, and I feel like my life has changed since coming to this cafe.”

“yes?”

At that time, Han Song-i, who was cleaning, was blankly staring at the window where the sunlight was shining, and then suddenly said something out of the blue.

Is that the sensibility of a webtoon artist? Why am I suddenly feeling that way?

“What should I say? Hmm. Before, I was living in a very chaotic, chaotic, and complicated mountain? I was always anxious, with nowhere to rest, and trembling at small and big stimuli… … I felt like I was floating alone on an empty sea, not knowing where I was? Anyway, that’s how it was. I was always anxious, chased, sharp, scared, and had to do something… … .”

“I guess that’s what happens when you live in a city and cling to other people. I’ve felt that way when I was working at a company.”

“Right? Well, I guess that’s not the case for all city dwellers, but it was like that for me.”

It’s not like only those who are suited to country life are the ones who live in the city. There are definitely people who are better suited to city life.

However, those people probably had their own space where they could breathe comfortably.

Anyway, I did agree with what Hansong said.

Because I’ve felt similar emotions.

It was a sudden emotion, but I could sympathize with it.

of course.

“Okay. Then let’s sweep outside too. Oh, and the roof needs to be swept too. Well, it’s okay these days because the ridges don’t go up very often, but if the windows on the roof are dirty, it doesn’t look very nice.”

“oh!”

In order to pass on that kind of emotion to another guest, preparation is necessary.

Of course I said that, but I cleaned the roof and asked Hansong to sweep the deck in front of the cafe.

So the morning cleaning is finished.

Now it was time to start preparing for full-scale cafe business.

“You’ve made scones together before… … Okay, here are the ingredients, would you like to try making one by yourself?”

“Huh? Me? Is that okay?”

“Of course. The ingredients are here, so you just need to remember the order.”

The bread dough needed to rise for quite some time. So I’ll boldly pass on it today.

I asked Hansong to make scone dough and I went to Tori’s cave for a bit.

It was to bring raw beans from Ssuksukki.

dripping!

This time, instead of opening the door wide like before, I knocked lightly first.

Beep~?

Then, sleepy-eyed Tori opened the door with his head and came out.

“Saturday Temple? Saturday Temple, you should stop sleeping and come out to work in the garden.”

Beep~

I put the guy who pretended not to know I was still sleepy in my apron pocket and took out the green coffee beans that I had put in the drying room.

The pulp has been completely absorbed into the coffee beans, and the skin has dried and become crispy.

“It looks delicious.”

Beep!

“Okay. Let’s go.”

As soon as I got out, I quickly went back to the cafe with To Temple, who kept nagging me to go.

Of course, I also took some honey from Bongbong’s beehive in the middle.

There were quite a few worker bees buzzing around, but I never got stung while collecting honey.

‘Is it because of the Queen Bee’s charismatic talent?’

It seemed like that, perhaps.

When I safely returned to the cafe, there was Hansong diligently splitting the dough.

“Ah! Boss. I think I’m done!”

“Really? Good job.”

“Right?”

“Okay. Then, should we make some jam to go with the scones?”

“Huh? Is it jam-packed?”

“It just fell right there.”

“Ahhh… … This will be fun!”

I did it because it looked really fun. In fact, I guess it’s closer to a one-day experience than a daily part-time job?

So I gave Hansong some more work to do, and in the meantime, I took a look around the garden.

Use your farming talents to see if there are any shortcomings or excesses.

Also, let’s take a look at whether the Sa Temple has started work.

Wow~

“Is Langi here too?”

Then, as I entered the cafe, I saw a swollen Rangi coming in, yawning.

I’m not sick, I just ate too much yesterday.

The guy was so annoyed by everything that he just lay down on the floor and wagged his tail.

“What is a seal?”

Funny guy.

The guy left the husks on the green coffee beans.

“Are those coffee beans?”

“Yes. If you roast this, it becomes coffee beans.”

“aha!”

It definitely felt less boring with one more person present.

Some people ask me this.

Of course, it would be okay to do it alone, but this is another kind of healing.

It was amazing.

Earlier, Hansong said that her life changed after coming to the tiger shelter, and that actually seemed to be the most appropriate thing for me.

Ding, ding, ding

“Hello~ Oh, boss, are you busy?”

“Huh? Oh! Ms. Kim Hana?”

But then, the door opened and a person came in.

It was Hansong’s friend, Kim Ha-na, who she said might come back at any time.

I remembered Kim Ha-na’s face.

I remember her as an attractive woman with short hair and slightly sleepy, droopy eyes.

however…….

“hmm.”

Were the dark circles under your eyes that sagging back then?

I don’t think it was that bad when I first saw it.

“You must have had a hard time.”

“Do you have tea?”

“A lot.”

It wasn’t just that I felt dizzy, but I wanted to ask if she was okay… … Even though her body was like that, her aura was surprisingly bright and clear.

“Hehehe! It’s okay. This is all a stepping stone to success.”

People are a bit strange, but are they kind?

Anyway, I was both excited and happy to see my first customer in a long time.

“Huh? Hana! You’re here already?”

“Uh huh. But… … Song Song, what are you doing there?”

Hansong, who was in the kitchen, heard the noise and came out to pretend to know her friend.

That’s why it looks like someone really works here.

“I decided to do a day job! What do you think?”

“… … Is part-time work your nature? Why does it seem like your appearance is getting better and better?”

“Really? Is it because you’ve been sleeping well since you came here?”

“Aha! You slept well? That’s a relief, isn’t it?”

“Huh?… … That’s good, but why are you looking at me like that?”

Han Song-i, who came with Kim Ha-na, suddenly felt an ominous energy from her friend and moved away.

But Kim Ha-na clung to her like that.

“The manuscript you sent me was a little too short. Did you sleep well, sir?”

“… … Ahahaha. I’ll send it right away. The story is finished.”

“Huh? Have you finished plotting the story?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Kim Ha-na looked surprised.

Because of the dark circles under his eyes, his face looked just like something out of Munch’s The Scream, but it wasn’t a scream, it was surprise.

“What? You said you slept well? But already? You’re not lying, are you? You’re not like that time again… .”

“No, really. Does your face look like it’s lying?”

“Hmm… … The baby is a bit chubby for that. It seems like she’s gained some weight too?”

When Kim Ha-na was worried that her friend might have gotten into a bad mood again because of overdoing it, Han Song-i told her not to worry and showed her face, which was glowing from eating and sleeping well.

Kim Ha-na looks around at the scene and sighs in relief.

We’re good friends.

“I really like being here. Inspiration comes to me from time to time.”

“Really?… … Then quickly give me the manuscript!”

“Wow, I’ll give it to you!”

After checking her friend’s condition, Kim Ha-na started to play with Han Song-i by pulling her cheek.

But, Hansong-i, have you really gained weight? Your white cheeks, like rice cakes, have really stretched out.

“Oh, right. Sir? I don’t know if you heard from your friend, but I actually have a favor to ask.”

“Huh? Oh… … I heard. You want to create a logo to put on your business card?”

He intervened at the right time and saved Hansong.

There’s still more preparation to do, but it came earlier than expected.

“Yes. Um, but you came so early… … .”

“Then can I rest there for a while?”

“sure.”

“Then excuse me! Song Song, you hurry up and get to work! You said it was a day job?”

Fortunately, the cleaning was already done, so there was no problem sitting down and resting.

Just in case you were bored, I gave you some washed fruit. Then I cleaned the beans again.

Crispy! Crunchy!

The sound of the well-dried skin peeling off mixed pleasantly with the music in the cafe.

So, Kim Ha-na, who had been saying she was resting, just lay down on the bed and slept. While watching her, I quietly lowered the volume of my singing.

“Huh~ Huh~”

Then, Hansongi’s voice was heard humming while making jam in the kitchen.

It was a peaceful time.

‘It’s done.’

The raw bean processing was completed quickly because even the shells inside were dried well.

I decided to roast it right away.

Then, the smell of roasting coffee beans filled the cafe.

Another peace has come.

And as that time was coming to an end.

“uh!”

The peace was suddenly broken by Kim Ha-na’s scream-like sound that echoed through the quiet cafe.
