I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 210

Episode 210

This was similar to that.

I provide rest to the customers who come to my cafe, and the customers who regain their energy through that rest return the aura to me… … .

But this time, it wasn’t a drink, it was a fire extinguisher… … And it wasn’t something I made, I just bought a fire extinguisher and gave it away, but I gained an aura.

‘It turns out I didn’t really need a special drink.’

Of course, the aura I gained wasn’t much.

It was really small compared to what I got at the cafe.

But… …I learned one more thing.

What I’m saying is that healing can be anywhere.

It could be an action, a place, or a person.

It felt like the scope of healing had expanded a bit.

Of course, since I was not the main character but a side character, there was no talent absorption. But I still felt good.

At that moment, the village chief also approached with a cheerful expression on his face.

“I heard there was a fire in the village next door, how did you come up with such a brilliant idea? Hahaha!”

“The village next door?”

“Huh? Didn’t you hear? Wasn’t there a house that collapsed in the last typhoon? That house caught fire too. They burned down the kitchen, right?”

“uh?”

I think I heard that story at the hardware store earlier? So that house was that house?

Not only was there a typhoon, but there was also a fire. What is going on?

“Is the person okay?”

“It’s where the old man lives, but fortunately he wasn’t home at the time. I think someone passed by and reported the smoke. That’s fortunate.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Anyway, since we’re handing out fire extinguishers and also providing fire prevention education, everyone seems to like it. They usually find fire prevention education a bit bothersome.”

“That’s the same for kids.”

Preventive education is something that is naturally neglected because it seems like something that everyone already knows and something that has nothing to do with oneself.

But when did you schedule the next preventive education?

Anyway, he is a person who is always moving from east to west. It must not be easy to manage such a large field, but it is amazing to see him taking care of all this.

“I heard there will be preventive education later, so you should come and listen for a bit and go. Since this is your first time in a village like this, Hansong-i should come and listen.”

“Me?”

“Sua should listen too, of course.”

“Eek. Can’t I play?”

“You have to listen and play. It’s not just about fire prevention education, but also about safety education necessary for daily life, so you have to come. Got it?”

“yes…….”

After patting Su-ah’s head and going his way, the village chief suddenly came back as if he remembered something.

“Oh, right. I almost forgot. Could you make us some drinks? They’re for the village elders, so I think the firefighters coming for training will need something to drink.”

“Of course. Just tell me the number of people and I’ll prepare it.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll text you that. As for the drinks, I think the elderly will like something sweet.”

“yes.”

“Make sure to send me the settlement details. This is a village membership fee, so don’t worry about it.”

The village chief patted me on the shoulder and left for real. I unexpectedly received a big order.

When we returned to the cafe, we decided to eat first.

“Ugh. I’m hungry.”

“Why, when you didn’t even do the work?”

“Even if you don’t work, you’ll still be hungry.”

That’s true.

I decided to quickly make tteokbokki for Su-ah, who was clutching her hungry stomach.

Since I can’t eat spicy food, I like it moderately spicy and sweet.

Boil the water and add sugar first, then add the rice cake.

The rice cake was, of course, wheat rice cake.

“I like rice cakes.”

“Wheat flour is the foundation.”

Hansong-i rebelled, but there were already two members of the wheat-rice faction.

Me and Sua.

Now, when the rice cake looks like it’s cooked a little, add gochujang and soy sauce and season to taste.

At this time, you need to add seasoning to give it that savory flavor.

The taste of the hometown of all people.

Then, add fine red pepper powder to give it some color, and boil it with green onions, cabbage, and fish cakes.

I prepared a green plastic bowl, which is the basic bowl for tteokbokki, and prepared some fried food to go with it.

First, fried bread.

I cut the prepared bread into sticks and fried them as is.

Fry the outside until crispy, then take it out and sprinkle sugar on it to complete the sweet fried bread.

I fried fish cakes and perilla leaves picked from the garden.

The perilla leaves happened to be in very good condition.

[Perilla leaves]

*situation

─Jiseon-geup

*effect

─Prevents anemia and enhances blood circulation

─Growth and development

─Relieves stress and anxiety

‘This is also a local election.’

The higher grade perilla leaves also had good effects.

Actually, I didn’t plant this to use in the cafe, I just planted it to eat with meat when I have a barbecue party after work sometimes…

It was fragrant, soft, and delicious, so I thought it would be good to fry it.

Shhhhhh!

With the sesame leaves fried until crispy in golden oil, it’s now ready to eat.

“Let’s eat.”

“Let’s go out there and eat!”

“Huh? Oh, is that so?”

Since there were no customers, we decided to go out to the empty lot and eat.

With the food laid out on a wooden table, it felt like we were having a fall picnic.

“This is lemon limeade. It might be spicy, so drink it while you eat it.”

“Hehehe! Yes!”

You even brought me a drink, so should I try it?

First, let’s start with the freshly fried perilla leaves.

It wasn’t a fried food with filling inside, it was just a perilla leaf soaked in batter and fried.

Basasak!

“Hmm~”

But it’s delicious.

First of all, the texture is just crazy.

It just crumbled in my mouth, and the scent of perilla leaves burst out.

If you dip this in tteokbokki sauce and eat it, this is the star of the day.

“Everyone, try some fried perilla leaves.”

“I already ate it! But why is it so delicious? It’s really delicious.”

Su-ah and Han-song-i also ate the perilla leaf tempura and were amazed.

What should I say, it’s a taste that goes beyond another level?

‘I used Cheonmu-Kyeol to fry it, but is it like this?’

I thought that frying was just putting it in oil and frying it, but there was another way to see it as a ‘knot’.

Appropriate temperature, shaking speed, dough texture, etc.

This fried food is made by connecting the knots together as one… … .

“I think this would be a huge hit if they just sold this.”

I could tell from Hansong’s expression that it wasn’t an over.

I agree to some extent.

but.

“I can’t sell it because it tastes like this when you eat it right after frying it.”

And it seemed a bit unreasonable to sell fried food in a cafe.

It won’t work, but the smell of oil can disturb your rest.

We decided to just eat this among ourselves.

“How about tteokbokki?”

“Wow! It’s tied up!”

“Huh? Spicy? Is it that spicy?”

As if on cue, Su-ah fanned her mouth with her hand as she ate.

Did you intentionally adjust it so that it wouldn’t be that spicy?

And Su-ah was the type to eat spicy food to some extent.

“Really? It’s pretty spicy.”

“Is that so? Where.”

Hansong also agreed with Suah’s words and tried it too.

Certainly, it’s spicier than I expected. Why?

“Ah! Red pepper powder.”

“Is that the chili pepper roof grandma? Use it… … Sigh.”

“Is that right? You gave it to me a while ago.”

It looks like it was a powder with some spicy pepper in it.

I used it without knowing and it ended up being spicier than I thought.

“But it’s delicious!”

“Don’t eat too much. Eat the fried food. Drink some beverages too.”

“yes!”

Even though her mouth was on fire, Su-ah didn’t give up and kept eating.

If you keep doing that, your stomach will hurt.

I thought I should feed him something good for his stomach later.

Yogurt and fruit would be perfect for dessert, so that would be fine.

“Su-ah. If you open your mouth like this, the air will come in and it will be less spicy. Ahh~ like this.”

“Ahh~ Like this? Huh? Is it real?”

But the two people in front of me chose a more primitive method.

Open your mouth and face the direction from which the mountain wind blows.

I wonder what he’s doing, but the cool breeze touching my hot lips makes me feel a little better.

“The rice cakes are delicious too! Sir, why don’t you just sell rice cakes? I can eat them every day! And sell sundae and fried food too.”

“Then what about Mintov?”

“Huh? Ah! You can just sell Mint Chopp as a drink. Hehehe!”

That’s not wrong.

And, well, tteokbokki isn’t bad for relieving stress, so it can provide healing.

“no.”

“Oh! Why?”

“Because the cafe is nice.”

“Cheese.”

I liked that the tiger shelter was a cafe.

A place that is a bit more relaxed and offers a gentle rest without being as stimulating as tteokbokki and snacks.

I wish there was a place like that.

Crispy!

Suah ate fried perilla leaves, saying she felt sorry.

Now that I think about it, I’ve already eaten a lot.

“Mmm~ This is delicious~. When I eat this, the spicy food seems less spicy. Should I say it cools my mouth?”

“Eat a lot.”

“Yes~!”

It is a good food for Suah to eat a lot of because it is effective in helping growth and development.

Can’t you make a drink with this?

I’ll have to look up the recipe.

After eating a moderate amount, I sat at an outdoor table for a while and just dazed myself.

A lot of things happened when I went to buy a fire extinguisher and came back.

Do you feel like you’ve had a little healing?

Now that I’m done healing, I guess it’s time to get back to work.

After eating the hot and spicy tteokbokki, I decided to cool off a bit and just have some yogurt for dessert before getting up.

“Huh? It’s ice cream?”

“I froze it in advance. Is that okay?”

“Exactly. This is exactly what I wanted right now. Mmm~ This is refreshing!”

Hansongi is satisfied.

Su-ah was… … in a state of selflessness.

Even though I cooled down with the wind and tempered it with fried perilla leaves, I still stood there dazed, my hot mouth and tongue touching the cold yogurt ice cream.

“Here, I’ll sprinkle some honey on here too.”

“Thank you very much.”

I shook my head as he spoke without even opening his mouth.

Will a guy like this ever be able to go out into society when he grows up?

‘… … Wait, isn’t this Dad’s heart? Why me?’

I’m not even married yet.

I quickly shook that thought out of my head and ate some yogurt ice cream.

The characteristic of yogurt ice cream is that it is soft.

The coolness is just right.

So it was perfect for eating something spicy to calm down.

It’s a shame that it’s gone after a few bites.

“Now that it’s time, should we go to the village hall?”

“yes!”

Since we were going to have fire safety training, we decided to make some drinks before we went.

If we go early, we can hand out drinks first and so on, but we still have plenty of time… … So let’s get started right away.

* * *

By the time I came down after making the drink, a fire truck had already arrived in front of the village hall.

Fortunately, they didn’t start the training yet, but rather came early to prepare for it.

however…….

“Are you kidding me? Did we come here to play? Are you out of your minds!?”

“sorry.”

“Do you find things funny? If it looks that easy and funny, then just quit right now. I can’t trust someone like you with my life at stake.”

“no.”

A slightly raised voice was heard from behind the fire truck.

There’s no one around yet, and my senses are so good that I think I’m the only one who heard it…

I don’t know what happened, but it seemed a bit harsh.

Are you scolding me for doing something wrong?

I couldn’t interfere because I didn’t know the exact situation of who was right or wrong, so I just made a little noise.

Anyway, this isn’t a good place to scold people. The elders will be here soon.

“Hello~ Are you here for training?”

“Oh, yes. But who?”

“Oh, I’m a resident of this town. The village chief asked me to bring you some drinks. There are some for the firefighters too.”

“Ah. This is good… … I’ll drink it well.”

I greeted them briefly, handed them drinks, and checked on the condition of those dressed in firefighter uniforms.

‘huh?’

However, some unexpected conditions were observed.

The person who was presumed to be a confused person based on his voice and attitude was not all that bad.

Rather, the aura of the person who had just received the drink, who was presumed to be the one who had been scolded, was unpleasant.

That’s a bit much too.
