I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 209

Episode 209

Fire safety was important.

Having worked in the construction field, I understand its importance even better.

Because fire takes everything away in an instant.

So, while we were buying our own, we decided to ask the village and buy as much as we needed at once.

I asked the village chief and confirmed the necessary assumptions.

The village chief was very happy to help me with my work and immediately told me what to do.

And he gave me money too.

He said that it wasn’t the village chief’s personal funds, but rather a portion of the village’s communal operating funds.

‘I heard there’s a lot of talk about where this kind of money is being spent.’

Fortunately, thanks to the village chief, Cheonho-ri seems to be used only in places like this and not in other places.

It’s been a while since we settled in the village, but we already have a sense of pride in the village. I feel proud for no reason.

“But when does your vacation end? Is it not like it’s vacation forever?”

“I’d like to do that too, but school starts this weekend. Sigh.”

I decided to go into town with Su-ah.

Since Suho keeps going out to train, Sua was the only one at home, so I brought her out. But now that school has started, it seems like we won’t be able to do that.

“What is that funny expression?”

“Me? Not me?”

“Ugh! The medicine is working! You don’t even have vacations!”

Oh, I held it in, but it came out. But isn’t that a bit harsh?

“You too, soon. How many years will pass by so quickly? If you debut as an idol early, you won’t be able to go to college and will immediately become a member of society without any vacations.”

“to?”

“Have you seen Na-eun? They don’t even have vacations.”

Su-ah’s face darkened at the realistic facts.

Then, Han Song-i, who was watching from the side, looked at Su-ah as if scolding her and tried to comfort her.

“Idols don’t get separate vacations, but they can still rest when they’re not working. I asked Naeun.”

“Ah! That’s right!”

“Yeah, yeah. If you take a long rest, you can travel abroad, so don’t worry too much. There will be plenty of time to come back to our village.”

At Hansong’s words, Suah quickly changed her attitude and raised her chin as if telling him to look.

He was a really funny guy.

Of course, I didn’t tease him more this time because I thought I was being a bit harsh.

‘How important is rest.’

I set off for town with the thought that even teasing must be within bounds.

I went there by borrowing the village chief’s truck.

This was perfect for me because I needed to carry the fire extinguisher I bought. In fact, there was nothing more convenient than this in the countryside.

Carrying both luggage and people.

It’s okay to treat it moderately roughly.

Of course, this isn’t my car so I shouldn’t treat it roughly.

“Wow~! Isn’t that the field we worked in over there?”

“Huh? Really? When did the rice grow like that?”

As I looked out the window, Hansongi looked back in admiration and saw green rice fields filling the fields.

Even the grains are densely packed together.

It wasn’t fully ripe yet and yellow, so it didn’t bow its head, but it was still quite a sight.

The rice plants swayed whenever the wind blew slightly, making it look like green waves.

It’s even more exciting to know that we created some of those green waves.

“You’ve really grown so fast. I don’t think you were like that until recently.”

“I know.”

“If you keep doing that, it’ll turn yellow again soon, right?”

I nodded to Hansong’s words.

When one begins to ripen, the other rice plants will also turn yellow at the same time.

I must come back again to see the fresh green waves turning into sacred golden waves. That will be a different spectacle from now.

It was a sight that was not easily seen in the city these days.

Basically, most of these fields are flat, making them ideal for development.

“It really feels like I’m in the countryside.”

“Because it’s the countryside.”

“Oh my. Just like Su-ah said, you really are like a T.”

In response to what I said, Hansong finally said something. And Suah agreed with her.

No, I was just telling the truth.

“They all came.”

I quickly changed the subject.

I just arrived in town.

First of all, I needed to buy a fire extinguisher, so I headed to the place the village chief told me about.

It’s like a general hardware store, so they said they have everything.

“hello~”

I parked in front and went inside, and sure enough, there were a ton of items on display.

“Wow~ There really is nothing that isn’t there here?”

“There is something missing!”

“Huh? What is it?”

“People. The boss isn’t here??”

As Song-i looked around the room, Su-ah told her something important.

I was still looking for it, but it seemed like it wasn’t inside.

“First, let’s check if there’s a fire extinguisher.”

If you leave the door open like this, people will come anytime.

It would have been better to find the item first and then talk about it.

If you’re the owner of a hardware store, you go on a lot of business trips. That might actually be your specialty.

In fact, these types of hardware stores are places that regular customers don’t visit often.

The interior was well organized, so I had no trouble looking around.

Some hardware stores have such haphazardly stacked items that it’s hard to tell if they’re a warehouse or a junk shop, but that wasn’t the case here.

As I was looking around, I saw quite a few things that could be used in the fields or rice paddies.

“… … Now I see things like this.”

In the past, the building materials were visible first, but I have also changed.

That’s that, but we must not forget the original purpose.

‘Target detection.’

As soon as I unleashed my talent, I was able to find the location where the digestive system was located.

“Huh? There are fire extinguishers by color?”

“Huh? Really. Wow~! Isn’t this pretty? I didn’t know digestive organs could be this pretty. It’s amazing. I want to buy these in different colors.”

When I went to the place where the fire extinguishers were displayed, I saw fire extinguishers of various colors other than red.

Actually, considering the functionality, there is no need for such a variety of colors.

Because in an emergency, you want something that’s bright red and ready to spray at any time.

But this is not the case with the human mind.

Since it has to be easily visible, it has to be placed in a place like that, but doesn’t it look ugly and stand out every time you look at it?

This may be true for public facilities where you don’t know where they are, but what if they’re in a familiar location that you always see?

“I’m khaki! I like this.”

“Hmm. I like the matte black one, but I think the bright yellow one is prettier.”

Rather, it might be better to paint it nicely like this and put it in a visible place.

Rather than just leaving it out of sight.

“hello!”

While I was looking at the fire extinguishers for a while, I heard a greeting from behind.

“Oh, yes. Are you the boss?”

“Yes! That’s right. Haha! Are you looking for a fire extinguisher?”

I was skeptical because of the young voice, but when I looked at him, he really was a young CEO.

I didn’t know there was a digestive system like this.

Looking at the display now, it seems that it wasn’t for nothing that it felt so neat.

What should I say, should I say that it has been organized into a familiar form?

Anyway, the young manager, wearing overalls and looking like he had just arrived, approached me with a friendly smile.

“Are you looking for home use?”

“Yes. And I’m also looking for something to use in the cafe and the community center.”

“Well, then those two should be a little bigger than this one.”

I was able to look around comfortably thanks to the manager’s recommendation.

The ones for the cafe and the town hall were obviously large in capacity. But even these looked pretty, perhaps because they were designed and painted like home-use ones.

But the fire extinguisher is still a glossy red.

“Please give me this in large quantities for cafes and halls. Please also give me this design for home use.”

“Ah! Why!?”

“It’s for the elderly. It’s okay for you, but this is better for the elderly.”

“ah.”

I like things that are intuitive when used in emergency situations.

Especially if the person using it is older.

Because you can’t put appearance and life on the same line.

“That’s right. This is definitely better for adults. I heard there was a fire in a nearby village not too long ago.”

“Are you in the village?”

“Yes. It was a small fire in the kitchen. Recently, the wall of that house collapsed. So, while doing repairs and remodeling the house, they changed the fire extinguisher. But the adults saw something strange. The children of the owner of the house did it… … and the kitchen ended up burning down.”

“Ah. Oh my.”

“So I sell it, but I don’t recommend it to anyone except young people. The function is the same, but it has to be visible and usable.”

I nodded at the president’s honest words.

I have some faith in this house.

The boss’s aura is also clear.

There are occasional stories about defective fire extinguishers on the news, but I feel like I have less to worry about.

“I’ll check this and send it to you.”

“Oh, would you please do that?”

“sure.”

I had more faith in it because they even said they would inspect it.

Of course, inspecting fire extinguishers could not catch all defects.

First, you have to pull out the pin to see if it will spray or not, but then the extinguisher won’t work.

Still, it seems like he has some know-how, so he inspected and reviewed this and that.

“Everything is in good condition.”

“Then I will take this.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

The fire extinguisher was loaded onto the truck.

By the time everything was loaded like that… … .

I asked one thing I was curious about.

“But you’re so young, but the hardware store looks old?”

“Oh, do you know it? I did some interior design… … Haha! I inherited it.”

“is it so?”

As expected.

This is something I’ve been curious about for a while now. The hardware store itself has a stylish interior.

But the shapes and structures seen here and there were those of the past.

I asked because I was curious about the harmony, and as expected, it was something that was inherited.

“My family was against it, but I liked it.”

“okay.”

It was nice to see him so proud of what he did. Should I say he looked like a young craftsman?

“Oh, right! This is my business card. If you need anything, please call me.”

The young craftsman knew how to exploit that gap.

I took the business card that was handed to me.

All kinds of repair and replacement work are possible.

I kept the business card in a safe place in case I really need it later.

There was something the cafe needed anyway.

Not right now, but I think we’ll see it soon.

I decided to see him then and left the hardware store after seeing him off.

“The hardware store owner over there has a really bright impression.”

“I know.”

“He’s very proud of his work. He seems like a great person. Just like my brother.”

“Yeah, me?”

He tilted his head and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, “If you haven’t heard me, don’t listen.”

Then Su-ah intervened.

“Hey, no, sis. The hardware store owner is handsome, isn’t he?”

“I am?”

“I told you, sir, that’s just how it looks?”

“This?”

Is this revenge for the teasing I did earlier?

Hansong burst out laughing at Sooah’s words and couldn’t even get angry.

“What should I say about the hardware store owner? He’s like a nerdy engineering major.”

“Am I just a nerd?”

“Huh? How did you know? Hehehe!”

“I was going to eat tteokbokki and sundae before I left, but I guess I’ll just go.”

“oh?!”

It’s cowardly, but there’s nothing I can do.

Su-ah flapped her arms in confusion at the number of spleens.

At that sight, Hansongi burst into laughter again.

“Oh, seriously, you two are so funny.”

I didn’t mean to be funny, but I’m glad you found it funny.

Anyway, I also chuckled at the sight of Su-ah fluttering around and turned the car towards the snack bar.

I was planning to eat and go anyway.

“uh?”

But the door is closed? Isn’t it open yet?

“It says here that we are temporarily closed?”

“I see?”

Unfortunately, the coming day is a market day.

It was a day when the store was closed.

I didn’t know because it wasn’t a regular holiday.

“I guess I can’t help it. Should I go shopping and make something to eat? Or should I eat something else before I go?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to make it and eat it?”

“I agree too!”

Since I didn’t really feel like eating anything else, I ended up deciding to just make it.

After doing that simple shopping, I returned to the village. And first, I stopped by the village hall to get the fire extinguisher… … .

“Oh my! You’re having a hard time.”

“Thank you~?”

People who came to receive fire extinguishers after seeing us on TV said thank you and praised us, saying that we were special.

That was embarrassing for no reason… … .

“Hehehe! It’s something that Soo-ah bought, so I can see it clearly, right?”

“Okay, okay. That’s right.”

Suah absorbed the praise with her whole body without saying anything.

Great guy.

But then!

Shararang~

The aura flowed from the elders and was absorbed by us.
