I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 230

Episode 230

When I returned to the cafe, I spread out the rags and let them dry.

I dried it well and stored it, but just in case.

Above all, it is better to keep the rags clean as they may contain bugs or bacteria.

‘At times like this, purification is necessary.’

Using Sooksooki’s talent, he purified the rags and spread them on the roof.

If you dry it thoroughly like this, any remaining bacteria and pests will die.

The rustling, rustling sound made me feel good.

The sound of people bumping into each other makes my head hurt, but why do I like this sound?

It was a strange thing.

But another strange thing happened.

Why does the rag keep making a noise even though I’m not touching it?

The reason for this was not difficult to find.

“… … Lang-ah.”

Why~?

“Everything is falling apart.”

It was because of Rangi who was rolling around happily on the rags.

He had already rolled around so much that his head and body were covered in rags. But then he took his eyes off him as if asking why.

The cat really couldn’t figure it out.

─Come on! I want to go too!

“Huh? What are you doing?”

─Miho, go to a good place! I want to go too!

“iced coffee.”

In the meantime, Soo-Jung whined that she had gone to a good place and was left behind.

No, even though Brownie didn’t go with him, he still looks so youthful.

“I’ll take you later.”

─I’m definitely going!

“Okay, I got it.”

This was the first time Soo-Jung had made such a strong appeal, so we decided to go together next time.

Anyway, I wanted to go to Brownie together with you at least once.

Because this place had a more natural feel than the vacant lot here.

Wouldn’t it be a more comfortable and better place for them?

There was even an effect attached to it.

‘Recovery… … .’

It couldn’t have been a better place for forest bathing.

Sometimes I think I should climb that mountain too.

I get good energy and exercise too.

“Ah! That’s right.”

When I think of that mountain, I suddenly remember the time when the fire broke out.

I had traveled from the cafe to there in an instant by mountain path… … .

I tried it because it seemed possible, but I didn’t think it would actually work.

I had forgotten about it because of this and that, but now I remember it.

‘It was really amazing.’

It was a mystical thing, with the surrounding scenery flowing like light.

It’s not only impossible for a person to run at that speed, but if they did, wouldn’t their body not be able to withstand it according to the laws of physics?

But it didn’t matter.

There was just enough pressure to run normally.

‘It felt like it was only the background that was moving and not me.’

Of course, it wasn’t quite as bad when I came back as it was when I left, but it still felt similar.

Is it still possible now?

“How did you do it?”

I don’t remember the details because I did it in such an urgent situation.

Instead of just running, use the Tenmu-Kyeol… … .

Sssss!

“oh?”

It works.

It wasn’t like that time, but for a moment the background seemed to be pushed back and moved forward.

So, does this apply to things other than running?

The rag I was holding felt similar… … .

Rustle!

“Okay.”

In an instant, rags were scattered over the roof.

You may wonder what this is all about. Normally, if you sprinkle it like this, it should fall where you sprinkled it first and then fall where you threw it last, but that wasn’t the case.

They fell almost simultaneously.

That meant they were thrown almost simultaneously.

“I can’t believe I haven’t used this before.”

Of course, it was a task that consumed some of my aura. But if I had known, it would have been really useful when there were a lot of people coming to film before.

‘You can just write it now.’

You could also use it to make holiday gift sets.

By the way, is this okay?

I’ve experienced many mysteries before, but I don’t think anything stands out as much as this.

“Other people will see this too.”

Especially in a country like ours where CCTV is so well-developed, if something is filmed incorrectly… … it will probably be posted on social media right away.

Something strange, or strange, or manipulated.

Fortunately, that won’t happen this time since we went on a mountain path, but I decided to be careful next time.

“Ouch. Let’s go down now. Lang-ah, don’t keep rolling around there. We’ll get scattered.”

Why~

This won’t work. If this continues, there won’t be any scraps left.

He came down carrying the lantern.

The rags need to be dried thoroughly in the autumn sun for a day, so as long as the wind doesn’t blow, I don’t think we need to worry too much today.

“I like it.”

I came down and checked the weather and it was very nice.

A few white clouds floated in the high, blue autumn sky.

Like sheep grazing in a peaceful field.

What would be good on a day like today?

“huh?”

At that moment, a single flower appeared on the path.

I worked late today and didn’t even go for a morning walk. What’s going on? Normally, it would be bedtime now.

“Did you get some sleep?”

“Just a little. But I woke up quickly because the weather was nice. Isn’t the sunlight so nice?”

“Don’t you have curtains at home?”

“I haven’t put it on yet.”

“… … It’s been quite a while since you moved here? How was your summer?”

“I fainted~”

If you sleep soundly after completely exhausting yourself, you can sleep without worrying about sunlight or the wind.

But that’s too physical.

“Just kidding, in the summer, the sunlight doesn’t come in like this, right? But in the fall, some comes in.”

“okay?”

I think it was probably because the angle at which the sun rose was different.

The location of the window will also have an effect.

“The foundation is well built.”

“Huh? Why?”

“In the summer, it’s hot so no light comes in, and in the fall or winter, when it’s chilly and cold, a lot of light comes in.”

“Oh! Is that so?”

I had seen the annex that Hansong used as a living space before, but it felt like it was built with a lot of care.

It seemed like they had put a lot of care into building it from the beginning.

“But the autumn sun is quite warm, so wouldn’t it be a good idea to install curtains?”

“I was going to do that anyway. I’m going into town. Do you want to come with me?”

“Town? Hmm. When you have time? But why are you here? Let’s go right away.”

“I came here to get something warm to drink because I thought I could sleep again. But I originally called you this morning to come with Seon-ah, but she said she’s not feeling well right now.”

“Seon-ah?”

Hansong nodded with a worried expression.

So, is it because you haven’t been feeling well for the past few days that you haven’t seen my face?

“Yes. I have a cold. I think I caught it a few days ago when I went for a walk with Baekgu.”

“Really? Um… … Then, if you have time, could you please give Seon-ah some pear honey tea?”

“Pear honey tea? Oh! You said you were going to put it in the holiday gift set, right? That would be good. They say pear honey is good for colds.”

“I’ll make it warm for you, so would you like some to drink?”

“great.”

I decided to first make some pear honey syrup to give to Hansong.

Because it’s better to drink it warm.

“But what’s that rag on the roof? It really looks like a hut.”

“To use when wrapping a gift set.”

“Aha~. Wow, that’s amazing. I want to eat straw-grilled pork belly.”

“… … Are you hungry?”

“A little bit?”

“Should I make you a sandwich?”

“Hmm. That would be too filling.”

Well, then it’s almost breakfast.

It might be burdensome for Hansongi, who would probably just drink some warm tea, go home, and sleep a little more.

Then what should I give you?

Since Su-ah brought all the night jelly and night manju, it would take some time to make them right away.

“Oh, then should I make you crème brulee?”

“Huh? Crème brulee? I think I saw that in a movie. Can you make it now?”

“It’s not difficult to make since you have custard cream.”

That’s why I said it.

You can make it right away if you have custard cream. And you also have chestnut paste.

“Then I’ll just eat that.”

“Would you like that? Then I’ll just make the pear honey tea.”

“yes.”

Since they are both sweet, it would be better to eat only one of them, as Hansong said.

Now that we’ve decided on the menu, we decided to start making it right away.

First, put the chestnut paste in a small bowl.

And then I baked it in the oven to make a crust.

Once it is crispy, let it cool for a while, then layer the custard cream on top and stack it to an appropriate thickness.

Since it’s homemade custard cream, it can’t be bad.

Here, finally, sprinkle the brown sugar, the flower of crème brulee, over the surface to cover it.

Then, caramelize the sugar with a torch and you’re done.

It’s simple, but that’s because I actually have all the ingredients, but if you try to make it from scratch, it’s definitely not easy.

“Okay. Here.”

“Wow~! Can I just crack this open and eat it?”

“that’s right.”

“This is my first time eating something like this. It’s a shame. If Su-ah was here, she would have really liked it.”

Suah, you can make it again later.

If anyone heard this, they would wonder where Su-ah went.

“He’ll come home after school and ask for it right away. You’ll post it in the group chat, right?”

“Huh? How did you know?”

“You guys always do that. You share whatever you eat.”

Hansong smiled awkwardly.

I also smiled at the sight and gestured for him to eat quickly.

widely!!

Rustle!

There was a sound of melted sugar breaking. It was like stepping on fallen leaves, similar to rags, but different.

But the sound of autumn was the same.

“Mmm~ This is really delicious!”

“okay?”

“Yes. It’s sweet and the sugar crumbles are chewy, and the texture is fun. Also, there’s chestnuts on the bottom, right? This is also really delicious. It’s crunchy and has a different texture from sugar, so I think I could eat it without getting tired of it.”

“But I won’t be able to eat much since I’m putting all three together.”

“I think the amount is just right. Hmm~ But wouldn’t it be better to eat this while working?”

“Really? Then I’ll make you another one and put it in the fridge at home and eat it later.”

“Oh! Good. Then can you make one more for Seon-ah?”

I don’t think it will work.

There was still plenty of material.

I made one more for Lee Seon-ah and one for Han Song-i and gave them to them.

And finally, they made pear honey tea with pear honey extract and put it in a tumbler.

“Tell them to drink the pear honey tea first and eat the crème brulee later when they feel better.”

“Okay, I’ll go first. If you have time later in the afternoon, let’s go to town together!”

“okay.”

Hansong returned with a sleepy expression on her face.

This is why regular customers are good.

You can taste the new menu first and see what people think.

‘This is something that is already delicious, so it can’t be tasteless.’

Anyway, the new news has been updated.

The news is that Lee Sun-ah is not heartbroken because of Kang Do-yoon, but is simply suffering from a cold.

But how did you go for a walk and catch a cold?

‘… … The swan was quite large.’

These days, Baekgu looks like a proud Jindo dog. I’m sure he’s a country dog…

Well, that too, and the walk time for the swan, which almost looked like an adult dog, was not easy.

If you walk around the village, you will probably come across a swan walking with Isana at least once.

“I feel like I’m going to die.”

Even if you do it every day, it will still be difficult.

Should I have given you a little more sweets?

I was thinking of taking care of it even now… … but a guest came.

It was the same face I had seen this morning. It was the daughter of the old man who had given me the rags.

And she was also the lady who gave me delicious bibim noodles.

“Welcome~ It’s been a while.”

“Yes, I did. I came here because you asked me to come once before~”

“Welcome.”

You looked like you were very stressed.

I took a quick look by myself this morning and for some reason I wanted to come… … .

[Kang Soon-ja]

─Stress headache

─Physical and mental fatigue limit

I need to hear what’s going on.
