I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 174

Episode 174

I left Hansong-i to sit at the table and spend some time leisurely drinking coffee, while I went to the warehouse for a while.

“Is this enough?”

We also used more wood in the warehouse than we thought.

Because I made all sorts of things.

I spent a lot of time making a cat tower, especially for Langi, who only rolls around indoors these days.

To my frustration, Rangi liked just climbing up on the table more than the cat tower.

“Should I rip it off?”

Looking at it again, I thought about taking down the cat tower, but decided to leave it alone for now.

It makes me angry, but I still use it sometimes.

And tearing it down won’t restore the wood to its original state. So if it’s not going to be used, I’m going to tear it down then or modify it differently.

“… … Let’s finish writing this first.”

I brought all the remaining wood.

Then I turned on my laptop and showed the size of the well I had measured yesterday.

The gourd will be restored and used as is, but the well house connected to the gourd will be built new.

It wasn’t necessary since the place was already settled, but somehow it seemed like it would be better for Soo-Jung to live there.

To do that, first, raise the well a little higher and put a roof on top of it… … .

“Will this work?”

“What are you doing?”

“Oh, there’s a well at home, so why not just leave it there?”

“Aha! Well! Wow~ That looks cool!”

“… … I haven’t made it yet?”

This guy?

Of course, the design was roughly done.

It’s not a difficult structure, so there’s nothing special about the design.

But to see something like that and say it’s cool.

“It looks like a fairy lives here!”

“fairy?”

Hansong looked at the blueprint and exclaimed in admiration.

I flinched for a moment, but of course I knew what he was saying.

“Yes. That’s amazing. It would be great to have a well like this at home. Should I buy one too?”

“… … Even if you dig, a well won’t come out.”

“Is that so? What a pity~”

He is a person who wants to try many things.

Want to dig a well at home? It’s a major project, and the cost, duration, and even maintenance and management are all involved.

In fact, the well was not something to be taken lightly.

I opened it because I knew that a spirit could take care of it.

If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have opened it either. That’s why my grandfather would have kept it hidden.

In a normal house, it would be better to not have it at all.

“Does it seem okay?”

“This? Perfect! But can you make this?”

“I think so?”

“Wow, oppa, you’re really good with your hands?”

He shrugged his shoulders at Hansong’s words.

I’m a little embarrassed to give compliments, but since the design of the structure to be placed on the well is said to be good, I decided to start building it.

“I’m going to make this… … .”

“Don’t worry about me. I’ll rest for a bit and then go on my own~”

“okay.”

This is why regulars are good.

Hansong left the cafe and came out to the empty lot.

The sun was already beating down, so I took refuge in the shade and started sawing the wood I had brought.

‘That’s strange. It should have been hot originally.’

It’s not hard and it’s not hot.

Although it was possible to endure to some extent due to the effects of the drink, in such an extreme environment, the duration was quickly reduced.

Even Aura can’t win against the summer season, so it would be normal for her to get tired quickly.

‘Protection of life.’

The power of the effect I got yesterday by naming it Sujeong was tremendous.

He was literally full of life all over his body.

“It’ll be over sooner than you think?”

If I wasn’t tired, I thought I could finish it by mid-morning.

Crunch! Crunch!

Sawing, smoothing the surface with a plane, and finishing with sandpaper.

“Is this much for a bucket?”

[Well gourd]

*effect

─Enhanced well effect

It looks like it was properly repaired as the condition has disappeared and only the effect remains.

Okay, that’s fine.

So now shall we make the rest of the bonus part?

My physical strength is fine, but I’m a little thirsty.

Drink some water… … .

─Should I give you some water?

“Huh?… … You?”

Suddenly, I turned my head at the sound and saw Soo-jeong flying next to me.

When did he come? Or is it okay for him to come like this?

“You, how far can you get out of the well? No, were you able to get out?”

Come to think of it, it couldn’t have been otherwise since she came to me from the East Sea. But it still felt strange.

Sujeong was a bit different from Miho or Brownie, who could follow me around.

Because it’s a spirit tied to a well.

So, once I settled into the well, I thought I could only move around that area.

I thought that was the reason why you didn’t come out with me in the morning, but was I wrong?

Then, as if trying to solve this curiosity, Soo-Jeong pointed to the gourd with her finger.

─Hehehe! That!

“Huh? Is this it?”

─Yeah!

The answer was a bucket.

A repaired gourd. If it’s there, it can move like this.

Is this what they mean by strengthening the well’s effect? ​​I thought the effect of being on a well would be strengthened even more.

‘This isn’t bad either.’

It wasn’t a bad thing, since Soo-Jung’s radius of action was expanding.

It’s helpful now too.

“Can you give me some water?”

─Yeah!

“Then can you give me just a little bit?”

─Okay!

Sujeong stretched out both hands.

Then, water droplets formed in the air.

This wasn’t an aura, it was real water.

‘It’s a good thing Hansong isn’t here.’

It was behind the cafe so I couldn’t see inside.

But just in case, I quickly drank the lump of water that Soo-Jung had made.

“uh?!”

The first taste was incredibly refreshing.

And the aftertaste was refreshing and clean.

This is something I never thought of… … What if I made a drink with this?

‘It’s quite possible.’

I decided to check with Soo-Jung.

“Sujeong-ah.”

─Huh?

“How much water can this make?”

─Um… … This much?

As expected, it’s impossible to gauge.

In times like these, a clear unit of measurement was needed.

“Can you fill this gourd?”

─Yeah!

“Then how many gourds can you fill?”

─Uuuum… …Like this?

Sujeong showed us her fingers.

There were ten.

I don’t know if it looked like that because that was the maximum number of fingers I could count, but that was enough for now.

‘That’s right.’

It was a really good idea to invite Soo-Jung as a guest at the pension.

The one we received in our house’s well.

“thank you.”

─Yeah!

I first expressed my gratitude to Soo-Jung for giving me water and then organized my thoughts.

Anyway, the things that had to be done first had already been decided.

I guess I should finish what I was doing.

After drinking the water that Soo-Jung gave me, my body felt refreshed and I felt like my energy was completely recharged.

‘then.’

I picked up the saw again to finish it off.

* * *

Cheonho-ri village head, Lee Cheon-yong, came to Seoul with Su-ah and safely brought her to Jeongwon Entertainment.

and…….

“Hello. It’s been a while, sir.”

I entered the office of Garden Entertainment.

And naturally, I was greeted by the CEO of Garden Entertainment, Bae Jun-seong, and sat down at the guest seat.

“Your eyes are so clear.”

“Do you see it? Then it’s a success. By the way, I’m surprised. I didn’t expect it to be there.”

“Haha!”

Lee Cheon-yong spoke to Bae Jun-seong as if he already knew him.

Even Bae Jun-seong called Lee Cheon-yong, the village chief, comfortably.

How can two people who seem to have no connection at all know each other?

“That’s it, right?”

“Are you interested now?”

“No, I don’t care about that, but the people there know.”

“Huh? A person? Are you talking about Eugene?”

“Yes. I was the team leader. I was wandering around for a while.”

“Wow. This is the first time I found out that you two know each other. What a strange relationship.”

Lee Cheon-yong shrugged his shoulders as if surprised by Bae Jun-seong’s words.

Thanks to the cool clothes worn for summer, the muscles that were in full bloom moved accordingly.

“… … Are you still exercising?”

“It’s not exercise, it’s life, you idiot. You’ve gained more fat on your belly. What do you think? Why don’t you get some training?”

“To you, sir? That’s fine. There are many trainers here too.”

“Those people will be watching you closely.”

Certainly, if Lee Cheon-yong was the trainer, Bae Jun-seong couldn’t do whatever he wanted.

So, I had to avoid that kind of thing.

Of course, Lee Cheon-yong wasn’t the type of person who could do that anyway. He had to go back to the village.

It was just a joke between the two of them.

Bae Jun-seong felt a chill in his liver for a moment.

“The reason you came is because of that kid?”

“Yeah. I came here because I heard you were the representative. I wanted to see your face.”

“Don’t worry. We’ve put a lot of thought into planning this program and will supervise it.”

“Do you know that kid is a candidate too?”

“Wasn’t he a slightly older boy?”

“You saw it too. The growth is different. And two is better than one.”

Bae Jun-seong nodded.

Since I was already a step back from that world, I had no intention of digging too deeply into it.

Either way is fine.

I just had to keep the peace in my current life.

“Anyway, don’t worry. We’ll assign managers to take care of you.”

“Then I feel relieved.”

In response to that, Lee Cheon-yong, the village chief, stood up from his seat as if his work was over.

I originally came here to ask for Su-ah. The conversation before was just a greeting.

“Oh, right. What about the team leader? I still wonder how that bleak person could be there.”

“Well, I’m a very cold person. Maybe that’s why I understand better.”

“yes?”

“Eugene has already surpassed that grandfather.”

“… … !?”

After saying those words, Lee Cheon-yong left the surprised Bae Jun-seong behind and went outside.

Then, by chance, I ran into Go Na-eun.

“Huh? Chief?”

“Huh? You? Hehe! I see you here.”

“Yes! Hehe! But why there?”

“I told you to take good care of Su-ah. Hehe!”

“aha!”

“I’d like to ask you a favor too.”

“Don’t worry! Heh! Oops! I think we’ll go back to the village soon!”

“Huh? In the village? Why are you busy gentlemen here?”

Lee Cheon-yong tilted his head at Go Na-eun’s words.

Go Na-eun, with her bright smile, seemed to have a harder time reading Bae Jun-seong’s thoughts than she did in the CEO’s office.

* * *

A roof to be placed on a well and a hook to hang a gourd.

And there is even a fence surrounding the well and a well cover to prevent foreign substances from entering.

After everything was made, I used all the wood to fit it perfectly.

‘The effect is no longer visible.’

I was hoping it would work like a gourd, but it didn’t this time.

Yeah, I’ve been getting the same results so far, but it would be greedy to want more.

This much is actually enough.

For now, I’ll leave what I’ve made next to the empty lot for a while and take it with me when I go home.

I came into the cafe.

“Did you go?”

While I was concentrating on making this, Hansongi seemed to have returned.

It was quiet inside the cafe.

Only empty cups were neatly placed on the counter.

‘When Soo-Jung grows up, will I be able to make her do the dishes?’

Then it would be really convenient.

I don’t know if it’s okay to use spirits like that.

─I sprayed all the water!

“Huh? Oh, oh. Good job. Thank you.”

─Hehehe! I really liked the dirt and the trees! And it’s fun! Order it anytime!

“Really? Got it.”

Of course, I was already using it.

I asked him to water the garden a little.

I’ve been thinking about making a drink, but not right now.

I don’t know if it’s something I eat, but it hasn’t been tested yet for giving to guests.

When it comes to food and beverage, hygiene comes first and foremost.

Still, I think it’s okay to water the garden like this.

I like editing too.

Oh, Brownie and Miho quickly became friends with Soo-Jung. At first, they were very wary, but they quickly became friends while watering the garden.

Is it because you’re pure?

It was a blessing for me.

Because Soo-Jung will be coming to the cafe often.

by the way.

“You are a guest.”

As soon as the reorganization was finished, a presence was felt from the direction of the path.

It was a man in military uniform.
