Episode 216

There were many things you could do at night.

First of all, you can just boil it and eat it.

And you can eat it grilled or stewed.

The night bread tastes good too.

“Yanggaeng! Can you make yanggaeng too?”

“Huh? Night Yanggaeng?”

“yes!”

“Did you like Yanggaeng?”

It was a snack I used to eat when I was little or on the train. I was surprised that Su-ah ate it too.

“Hehehe! It’s trendy these days!”

“… … Yanggaeng?”

“Yes! There’s green tea flavor and a variety of other flavors of yanggaeng.”

These days, even snacks from the past seem to be popular. I thought it was only fashion and music that were popular.

“There’s a song these days too.”

“okay?”

Hansong also said something as if he knew.

I can’t stand it when I’m the only one who doesn’t know.

“Then let’s make some yanggaeng, okay?”

“Really? Yes! Can I take it to school tomorrow?”

I’m not sure about that. It’s my first time making it, so I need to look at the recipe.

But I didn’t think it would be difficult.

“If I do well? I have to pick up a lot starting at night.”

“Oops!”

Whether you make chestnut jelly or anything else, you need to have a lot of chestnuts. This meant that you couldn’t just pick one up and talk about it.

“Just like before, press down on the chestnuts with both feet and take them out with your hands. Don’t hurt your hands. Got it?”

“yes!”

After listening to the two people’s answers, I climbed the mountain again.

The mountain was quite steep, but it was still worth climbing.

As I went up like that, I kept picking up the mushrooms that Miho found, and that gave me more strength.

“What is it? Why are you the only one who can find it so well?”

“That’s right. Is there some kind of secret?”

Su-ah and Han-song-i looked at the chestnuts in the backpack I brought and said they were jealous.

It’s not that the two of them have picked up 0 chestnuts so far. On the other hand, I have already picked up about a handful.

It’s all thanks to Miho, but there’s no way the two of them would know that…

“Well, maybe if you do a lot of good deeds, the mountain will give you a gift?”

“What is that? I’ve done a lot of good things too.”

Suah protested.

But Hansong was troubled.

Looking at his expression, I could tell exactly what he was thinking.

I guess he’s thinking about what good things he’s done.

Just kidding… … .

“Is it because you’re tall? You look good.”

“oh!”

At those words, Su-ah and Han-song looked at each other with angry expressions.

This is also fun in its own way.

They were two people who had a lot of fun.

“If you go up a little further, you’ll find some chestnut trees. You can go up there without looking for them, so let’s go right now.”

“Okay! I’m going to pull out a really big tree pole today!”

Why would you uproot a healthy oak tree?

They even give you night time.

Anyway, I went up for a while while listening to some strange fighting spirit.

We arrived at a mountainside full of real oak trees.

“Did they make it like this on purpose?”

It wasn’t a vacant lot, but it was a fairly large piece of land on the side of a mountain, surrounded by oak trees and the ground was flat.

It couldn’t have been like this unless someone had made it this way on purpose. You could actually see the parts that had been touched by human hands.

“Ah! I heard that the village chief tried to grow a chestnut tree before, but gave up because it was too much work!”

“The village chief? Oh, so that’s why he told us to follow him here?”

somehow.

I thought it was strange that you would say something like that when there was just a little bit of oak.

‘But isn’t the scale of this place no joke?’

It didn’t seem like it cost a lot of money. I can’t believe you gave up on something like this after putting in so much effort.

How rich he is.

“Village Chief Grandpa, there must be quite a lot of these things?”

“Huh? That’s a lot?”

“Yes. I did something before and then stopped.”

This was unexpected. I thought it would be difficult because the oak tree requires a lot of work and is not in a good location.

But you gave up on other things you did. You look like you would finish anything you started…

“I was going to quit Peaches before, but I decided to continue because of Seon-ah.”

“ah.”

Yeah, that was there too.

You’re a man who gives up more easily than I thought if it’s not for health. I learned something new.

If you stay close to the village chief, won’t a lot of soybeans fall?

“Let’s sit here for a bit and fill up on some sugar.”

“I wonder?”

I agreed with Hansong’s suggestion.

It didn’t seem like it took long to get here, but it was still tiring because there was a steep slope and the road wasn’t properly paved.

Physical fatigue will recover quickly, but I also need to relieve mental fatigue, so I unpacked the things I brought with me.

There were a lot of mushrooms lying on the floor, so I had to avoid them and spread them out well.

“This place would be nice.”

“yes!”

So I found a seat and unpacked my luggage.

I spread plum, raspberry, and grape jam on each slice of bread.

And then I divided each into three equal parts.

“Okay. Eat whatever you want.”

I started by spreading some strawberry jam on it. Then I took a bite while admiring the surrounding scenery.

It was really delicious because I ate it after hiking. Although it wasn’t the peak, the view from above wasn’t bad.

“Can you see the village?”

“Huh? Is that so?”

I guess it went up more than I thought.

The village of Cheonho-ri could also be seen vaguely in the distance.

I think you’ll get a better view if you climb to the top.

If you spend the night picking up everything, it might not be a bad idea to go up and then come back down.

‘Hmm. It’s a bit high.’

It wasn’t an easy task because it seemed like I would have to climb further than I had come… … .

Let’s try picking up chestnuts first and then think about it if we have stamina left.

“Hmm~ The jam is really refreshing?”

“I didn’t make it sweet on purpose. I like the fruity flavors.”

“Yeah, but I think it’s already sweet enough. And it’s not like it’s a really sticky sugar flavor.”

Fruits grown in the garden are naturally sweet.

Jam can be made this way because it has a sweet taste different from that of jam grown in other fields or bought at the supermarket.

“I think it would be really delicious if I spread some cheese on it and eat it!”

“Cheese? I knew you’d do that, so I brought it.”

“Oh! As expected from an old man!”

I took out the cream cheese.

It was a good combination to eat with jam.

Although it was a short climb, it recharged my energy.

This is about the end of a short picnic on a mountainside with a gentle breeze blowing.

“Shall we get to work now?”

“yes!”

I started picking up chestnuts in earnest.

Large, delicious chestnuts were scattered everywhere.

All the hikers here picked this up.

It was quite a pity.

I don’t think you can find chestnuts this firm even at a mart or department store.

‘Shall I try just one?’

I picked up a ripe chestnut and roughly cracked open the shell with my teeth. It was easy to open because the shell was not dry yet.

I quickly chewed on the chestnuts that revealed their white flesh.

Boom! Boom!

The texture seemed hard, but it just fell apart when I touched it. That doesn’t mean it was soft, but it was crunchy.

And with every chew, the sweetness continued to increase.

If you ate it without knowing, you would think someone had sprinkled sugar on it.

“Huh? What are you eating alone??”

“night.”

“Huh? It’s raw chestnuts?”

“Oh. You try one too. It’s delicious.”

“Isn’t this all going out?”

“… … When I was your age, I even chewed rocks.”

It’s true.

As a joke, my grandfather tricked me into chewing on a rock by disguising it as a rock-shaped chocolate bar, which was very popular at the time.

Fortunately, it was a rock, but it wasn’t a very hard material, so I just chewed it until it felt strange and then spit it out.

Even thinking about it now, it’s still absurd. Isn’t it usually the other way around?

When you eat a chocolate bar shaped like a rock, you say you ate a rock.

Hmm… … Now that I think about it, it seems like Grandpa might have gotten better at it.

Because I didn’t take any jokes about being a rock-shaped chocolate.

“What is it? That’s it. You weren’t born with a dirt spoon, you were born with a stone spoon.”

Now, you’re acting like Soo-ah.

“Oh my! This is really delicious! If it’s so delicious, why do they just let people pick it up and leave?”

“I know.”

You wouldn’t know if you hadn’t tasted it.

After tasting it like this, I agree with Hansong’s opinion.

It was a really delicious night.

“Really? The village chief’s chestnuts were originally not tasty.”

“Huh? You said it wasn’t tasty?”

“Yes. I gave it to you once before, but it tasted really bad. It just didn’t taste good.”

Su-ah couldn’t believe that it was the chestnut she had just eaten, so I tried eating another chestnut just in case.

Crunch!

“Hmm? It’s delicious?”

This is also delicious.

Even if we take the average, I think there will be more delicious ones?

It wasn’t even Miho who chose it. I just picked it up from the ground…

‘It would make sense if it was just left alone because it didn’t taste good before.’

But if I didn’t manage it separately and just left it alone, could the taste get better?

Usually, fruits have to be improved and refined to suit human tastes to obtain the taste we are familiar with.

Just looking at wild bananas, you wonder how people can eat them, but aren’t the yellow, ripe, hybrid varieties edible?

But are wild chestnuts more delicious?

I don’t know why, but I have to go down and talk to the village chief.

You probably left it alone because you thought it was a tasteless night, but if it changes like this, you might think differently.

“Oh! This is really delicious!”

While I was lost in thought, Suah also tasted the chestnuts and opened her eyes wide.

It seems that the taste has changed from before.

That’s amazing.

“Mister! Hurry up and make me something delicious with this! I only have one day left!”

“… … If someone heard me, they would think I was going far away.”

It’s the start of the new school year.

He continued harvesting the chestnuts, shaking his head.

As I watched the chestnuts pile up, my heart grew stronger. With that feeling of being filled, I sometimes had the fun of eating raw chestnuts… … .

“It’s full!”

“me too.”

“me too.”

The three’s backpacks were full of chestnuts.

But now that I look at it, both of their hands were terrible.

“Did you break it with your hand?”

“Hehehe!”

It seemed like that was the case.

It seems like there are a few that were opened with the hands instead of the feet because it was stuffy.

It seems that he was injured after being pricked by a thorn.

But it seemed okay because I could see the laughter.

“Doesn’t it hurt?”

“At this point, it’s better even if you sleep. More importantly, you were doing it with your hands earlier… … Are you okay?”

Ahem.

It’s not just them, I actually picked it up with my hands a few times because I was frustrated.

But with my dexterity, I could easily cook thorns and pick chestnuts.

So of course, unlike them, I was in perfect condition, so I thought they would follow suit.

“Let’s both go wash our hands and apply some medicine.”

I was going to start going down now anyway.

I thought about climbing to the top of the mountain, but then I might have to carry two people back down, so I decided to call it a day and head back down.

The backpack was quite heavy, so going down wasn’t easy.

“Huh? That’s Seon-ah and Do-yoon over there.”

As she was going down like that, Su-ah noticed Lee Seon-ah and Kang Do-yoon and pointed at them with her finger.

Hansong and I simultaneously grabbed Suah with both hands and turned the direction.

“Let’s leave them alone.”

“That’s right. Let’s not interrupt.”

Lee Sun-ah and Kang Do-yoon were walking hand in hand.

Just by looking at the atmosphere, I could tell that the two were on a date and taking a walk, so I quickly came down without disturbing them.

“I was going to brag about picking up the night sky.”

“Don’t say that with an evil smile?”

Arriving at the cafe, Sua put down her backpack and said.

That guy, he knows everything… … .

“Hehehe! Mister! What are you going to make now?”

Of course, it started with Yanggaeng.

But, before that… … .

‘brownie?’

Nod nod!

‘That’s right.’

I decided to first greet Brownie who had just woken up.
