I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 204

Episode 204

I finished collecting honey and quickly came down.

Still, I harvested quite a lot in a short period of time.

With the bees cooperating by displaying Mok-saeng’s ‘Cheonmu’, there was more than enough to give to the village elders.

By the way… … .

‘There are two guests. Are they those two?’

I quickened my pace.

If my guess was correct, it would have been Professor Heo Jeong and Woo Da Yeon.

Looking at the terrain management, it seems that we have already come up the narrow path.

Fortunately, we’re not walking fast, so we should arrive at a similar pace.

Ding, ding, ding

As expected, as soon as I opened the back door and went in, the bell rang as soon as the door opened.

First, leave the honey and honeycomb you collected in the kitchen.

“Welcome back~ It’s been a while, teacher.”

“I thought you were dead, but you’re alive.”

As soon as I saw him, I felt familiar with the teacher’s gruff voice and the way he blurted out a word.

But I also felt something unfamiliar.

That was the momentum.

He was a teacher who always seemed to overwhelm those around him.

But for the person in front of me right now, that was too weak.

If I had to be specific, it feels like you’re forcibly imitating it?

‘You really are in bad shape.’

In the past, I would have just felt it, but now that I can see the aura, I can know more clearly.

Mr. Heo Jeong’s condition was not good.

[Heo Jeong]

*situation

─Muscle weakness due to aging

─Hydrophobia

─Depressed

─Alcohol dependence

─Insomnia

─Weakness

The same goes for the state contained in the text window.

There have never been this many status abnormalities before.

This was a condition that could only come out of a patient.

Should I have gone to the hospital instead of coming here?

“Did you make this?”

“No way. You know my style.”

“I know. But now that I look at it, I don’t know, so that’s why I’m saying this.”

“Right now?”

“okay.”

Teacher Heo Jeong’s gaze passed over me.

A different state from my previous self.

I had a rough idea.

Bae Jun-seong and Kim Jung-hyun too.

Because everyone who knew me before said that.

Tiger Shelter not only increases your abilities, but also changes your inner self.

So, people I knew from before have been saying that the atmosphere is different when they see me.

It’s amazing how you know that without even seeing the aura.

“Teacher, you’ve lost a lot of weight. I almost didn’t recognize you.”

“I’m on a diet.”

“Teacher?”

“How long are you going to leave it standing?”

You are changing the subject because it is disadvantageous.

First, I guided them to their seats according to the rhythm. Then I checked the condition again.

‘But just looking at that condition, I can’t figure out the cause.’

There were many abnormal conditions, and the cause could not be guessed.

At first glance, it seems like alcohol dependence may have caused that condition, but any teacher I know would never have been an alcoholic.

Because he was a person whose mental strength was as strong as his skills.

But if you are that dependent on alcohol… … .

“Did your grandfather make it?”

“Yes. It’s pretty good, right?”

“I always thought I didn’t look like my grandfather, but blood is thicker than water after all.”

It seemed like the teacher accepted my change in that way.

Well, that was good, of course.

Whether you think this way or that way, that’s the other person’s mind.

“Hello. It’s been a while.”

“Yes! Thanks to that time, I met a good master!”

I also said hello to Udayeon.

How could fate lead to this kind of relationship?

And it seemed like the teacher really thought of Udayeon as his favorite student. It’s not like it would be easy for someone like her to come here, but seeing as she came with him.

“I came here thinking it was time to die since you asked me for a favor I never did before, but you’re just being nice.”

The teacher who saw me greeting Udayeon said something rudely.

Even though he said that, it meant that he was worried.

I was wondering what was going on because you suddenly asked me a favor that I never did before.

My condition is worse, you know.

‘I don’t know where to start. First… …Staying calm? No. I need to cheer you up first.’

Don’t they say that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind?

If your body is in good condition, your mind will also be at ease.

Weakness, alcohol dependence, deteriorating health due to aging… … It seemed like it would be best to start by improving my condition.

There just so happened to be some good honey there.

If it has a nutritional supplement effect, it will be more nutritious for my current condition.

What recipes would you recommend using honey?

‘Ah! There’s that.’

Lemon honey tea.

Grapefruit is usually used more often, but lemon is also fine.

The sour taste of lemon also energizes the body, so I decided to write this as a recommended menu.

Swish.

I modified the menu to reflect the secrets of the Thousand-Mu. Then I spoke to him while handing it over to him.

Most people would order something from the recommended menu, but since it might not be the case for Mr. Heo Jeong, it seemed like it would be a good idea to get his attention verbally.

“I’ll get you a drink. How about this?”

“Lemon honey tea?”

“Yes. It’s tea made from lemons grown in our garden.”

“You know how to do something like this? A guy who can’t even mix water for coffee? Come to think of it, are you doing well in business?”

“Yes. A celebrity came and went not long ago. And the coffee water was weak because the teacher said he likes it weak.”

Although Mr. Heo Jeong was a grumbling teacher, I didn’t really care.

Because it was both familiar and a joke, it was actually a good thing.

“Give me anything that will make my neck or chest ache.”

“Then I’ll give you lemon honey tea. What would you like, Dayeon?”

Then, Woo Da-yeon also said she would eat the same thing.

I went straight into the kitchen, washed one lemon, thinly sliced ​​it, and squeezed the juice from a few more.

‘Sujeong-ah. Can you give me some water?’

─Yeah!

And now that the water has been confirmed, I took it and heated it up.

Once heated to an appropriate temperature, add the honey you just collected and mix slowly.

Once the honey in the water was well mixed like a mist, I just added the lemon juice I had squeezed earlier and mixed it lightly, and I was done.

Pour the water you just mixed into the cup containing the thinly sliced ​​lemons to complete the lemon honey tea.

The tea, which surprisingly had a sour taste, was okay.

The lemons in the garden were sour and fragrant, which made it even better… … .

“The drink you ordered is here.”

I quickly brought it out before it got cold.

Then, the teacher, who was looking around the cafe, carefully accepted the cup.

Shiver shiver.

I could tell that his hand was shaking slightly, but I didn’t pretend to notice.

I already knew about the text window, and I had a feeling that the teacher didn’t want to show it to me.

“There are so many strange things that happen in life. You even gave me this.”

“Right? If you live longer, you’ll see more amazing things, right?”

“If you see something more amazing, you’ll see things you’ve never seen before while you’re alive.”

Huh? That’s a bit.

My expression hardened slightly at the sight of the teacher’s serious expression, which I couldn’t tell if he was joking or being serious, but I quickly pretended it hadn’t happened.

While watching carefully the hands that were drinking while blowing slowly.

Hororok.

Inside the cafe, the only sound was the sound of drinking tea.

Indeed, the dull teacher’s aura had a visible effect, as if he was a Ji-seon (地仙) level that seemed higher than the highest level.

Some of the aura of the cloudy color has disappeared.

It’s a bit disappointing that it’s not complete though.

It will only get better with the protection of life contained in the water that Soo-Jung gave us.

For now, I feel relieved.

It’s not like there was no reaction at all.

Of course, it would be best if it ended here, but I don’t think that will happen.

“What do you think, Woo Da-yeon? Is it fun to work and learn under you?”

“Yes. It’s so great. Every day feels like a dream.”

I changed the subject slightly.

Woo Da-yeon made a really happy expression as if those words weren’t a lie.

It looks a lot better than back then when I couldn’t find a job or a dream.

If there’s one thing that’s not good, it’s worrying about the teacher. Other than that, he seemed to be satisfied with the present.

It’s easier said than done to learn from a teacher, but it’s not always that easy.

“It’s fun. Getting scolded all the time.”

As expected, the teacher looked at Woo Da-yeon and said something.

But even as he says that, the corners of his mouth slightly curve into a curve… … .

‘I guess you really liked it?’

Teacher Heo Jeong also seemed to think that Woo Da Yeon was really nice.

thank god.

It was fate that brought the two together, and it was a success.

Now that I think about it, the reason I was able to see that the teacher’s condition had gotten this bad was because I connected the two.

‘If the teacher was in that state alone, he wouldn’t have said anything to me.’

Because I’m the type of person who hates showing my weakness to other people.

Anyway, fate is really amazing. It turned out like this.

“But I’m doing pretty well now, right?”

“Well done! Still have a long way to go!”

“Hehehe! That’s good. I still have more to learn from Master.”

“Huh! Do you think anyone can do that?”

It’s really heartwarming to see priests bickering.

The two of them are on good terms, so what is the problem that caused this?

“Oh, right. Would you like some cookies too?”

“cookie?”

“Yes. I baked it.”

“her?”

Mr. Heo Jeong looked at me as if he couldn’t believe it.

He looks even more surprised than when I make him a drink. Is that really it?

“It wasn’t baked with cement, was it?”

“… … Surely that’s not true?”

“Wow. This is really going to change the world.”

“Try it. You’ll be even more surprised.”

I also find this kind of reaction from the teacher new. Should I say that his expressions have become richer than before?

It seemed to be Udayeon’s influence.

‘If only it weren’t for that condition, it seems like things are really changing for the better.’

The dull aura was still a problem.

Teacher Heo Jeong, who had even tried the cookies, kept looking at me and the cookies alternately.

As if I never imagined that I would make this.

I didn’t feel bad. Rather, I felt proud.

“Oh, right. Did you bring the wood?”

“Did you leave it to me?”

“I didn’t ask you to do it, but I did ask you to do it.”

“If you can’t even speak.”

“Is this a service fee?”

“You’re doing exactly the same thing as your grandfather.”

Oh, that’s a bit.

I chuckled at the teacher’s words and brought more cookies.

Still, it certainly seemed like the drink wasn’t completely ineffective. It felt like my condition was returning a little.

Your hand tremors have also increased… … .

“While you’re here, why don’t you stay overnight? You’re always in the woodworking shop, so you should come and rest at a time like this.”

But I still felt it was too much to just let it go.

So I quietly told him to stay here.

“I’m busy.”

“Hey, what’s the teacher busy with? Right?”

Of course, Teacher Heo Jeong said no, but he gave Woo Da Yeon a sidelong glance.

Then he noticed and agreed with me.

“That’s right. Master, you’re not busy.”

“These guys?”

“I work all the time in the summer and think of it as a late vacation so I come here and play for a bit.”

“Don’t worry. If you play, you’ll just wear out your body.”

What the teacher said wasn’t wrong. It’s not good to suddenly stop working at that age.

It would be better to continue working at a lower intensity or find another hobby to do.

Of course, I wasn’t talking about just taking a few days off.

“There is some good Nobongju at the village chief’s house. Would you like to try some before you go?”

“… … No Bong-ju?”

“I found a huge wasp nest on the mountain behind my house this spring. Look at this.”

He showed me the house he had been using as a photo.

And I showed him a bottle of alcohol that I had taken a picture of because it was so interesting when I went to the village chief’s house before.

Fortunately, when I looked at the text window at that time, there was no problem.

Of course, I don’t know if the village chief will hand this out.

‘If you ask for just a little, I’ll give it to you.’

You said that before. Tell me whenever you need something.

Now seemed like the time.

The teacher’s expression changed at the word alcohol.

It was not because of alcohol addiction, but because he originally liked alcohol.

Because drinking good alcohol was the only hobby of the teacher I knew.

As expected.

“Ahem. Then should I just drink that?”

He came right over.

Well then… …I’ve earned some time.
