Quitting the Company and Opening a Cafe Episode 250

I asked around and they said it had been closed for quite some time.

I don’t really know the reason.

“What’s wrong?”

He seemed to be in good spirits, but given his age, I couldn’t guess what the situation was.

I hope you’re okay.

By the way,

‘Should I buy the seedlings and seeds later?’

The purpose of the seed company was lost when it closed.

I originally planned to come here and buy some things to plant in my garden.

Suah asked me to make sandwiches and hot dogs, so I thought that if I was going to do that, wouldn’t it be better to grow some of the vegetables that go inside?

There are potatoes and other things in the garden right now, but there are no fresh vegetables that would go well in a proper sandwich.

And now I’m starting to think about trying carrots too.

I was curious to see how different it would be from Grandpa’s carrots.

I already confirmed that it wasn’t exactly the same length, but it was still something I didn’t know.

But before I could check that, the seed store didn’t open, so it failed.

“Should I ask the village chief?”

But since the village chief’s field is mostly filled with fruit trees, I don’t know about the things that grow in the garden.

Or, it might be a good idea to ask one of the village elders.

‘… … I feel like going back right away.’

Anyway, I felt regretful about returning empty-handed.

It was a bit ambiguous whether I should stay behind or play alone.

I’m thinking of calling Han Song or Lee Seon Ah, but they’re both busy these days.

Han Song-i is busy focusing on the project after Kim Ha-na left, and Lee Seon-ah… …is probably in contact with Kang Do-yoon by now.

The autumn wind suddenly feels so lonely.

“Even if it’s a hardware store, oh. I didn’t bring a gift.”

I think I should go there next time too.

……what.

I’m not usually a person who gets lonely easily, but I feel really lonely right now.

I was thinking of just going to a nearby cafe and having a cup of coffee, but that was a bit ambiguous.

It may seem like I’m being overly self-conscious, but if you go there and the food doesn’t taste good, it can be a bit much.

‘I have nowhere to go.’

I was just wandering around the seed shop.

“You came there?”

“huh?”

But then someone saw me like that and spoke to me.

But there was a male student wearing a school uniform.

Judging from the fact that he’s wearing the same uniform as Suho, he seems to be a student at the same school.

But isn’t it class time now?

“I went to my grandmother’s daughter’s house.”

“Ah~ Your daughter went home. So it’s not open anymore?”

“No. He said he would come down after Chuseok. He said he was going on a trip during Chuseok and that he would come up early.”

I felt a little relieved by the student’s words.

I was worried that maybe, like the elder Kang Seok in our village, he had something bad happen and was not open. But that’s not the case. It seems like he just went out to play for Chuseok.

Judging from the length of the trip, it might be an overseas trip.

‘Good, I guess you’ll be back soon.’

That was such a relief.

It’s nothing special, I’ll buy it later.

Anyway, then there’s really no reason to hang around here anymore.

I had a little hope that it might happen, but now it’s completely gone.

What was a little more curious was the student who had just told me this fact.

Why are you here when you should be at school?

“Oh, I’m Gosam.”

“Huh? Oh, really? Then isn’t the CSAT coming up soon?”

Before or after Chuseok?

Anyway, I thought the college entrance exam would be held around this time.

So, it seems like that student should be in school even more.

“We are in self-study mode now, so we can come outside.”

As I looked at him strangely, the student continued to explain further.

There’s no need to explain that to someone you don’t even know.

So I had no choice but to react.

“Really? So are you going to the reading room now?”

“No. I’m just going to work.”

“… … Are you working part-time?”

“yes.”

It was an answer that really left no clue as to where it would lead.

Gosam is out for self-study, but he’s going to work part-time?

So does that mean you gave up on studying?

“You have to pay for the reading room too. The academy is obviously more expensive.”

“Then why don’t we just do it at school?”

“I have to earn money too.”

“iced coffee…….”

It seems like there are complicated circumstances.

So I just thought it was like that.

Because everyone has their own circumstances.

Ahn Chi-hyeok also wanted to study, but he didn’t have the environment to do so, so he came out at dawn and studied at our cafe.

Fortunately, I have a good relationship with Kim Do-hyeok now, and I am studying with his support.

“Yes. Thanks for telling me about Grandma.”

“I just told you because I had some time left before work and was bored. Oh no, it’s over now. Bye.”

“Take care~”

The student ran in a hurry as if it was time for work.

I stared blankly at his back.

It disappeared quickly, so I couldn’t see it for long.

but.

‘I didn’t really invite her to a cafe because her aura was neither good nor bad… … .’

I was a little nervous.

What should I say? Should I say it’s just like when I was in high school?

Maybe it’s because it’s fall these days, but I find myself remembering the past a lot.

anyway.

Now that the students have gone, I should probably go back soon too.

I didn’t take any pictures of the seedlings I was going to plant in the garden. I’ll buy them later.

Ah! I decided to stop by the mart before that.

I was originally planning to go to the mart.

Because I also need to buy sausages for the hot dogs.

This was something that was hard to find in the village.

‘If I talk to Bae Jun-ho, he might save me. Ah, but instead, should I ask Bae Jun-ho to save me?’

That would be a way too.

First, I walked to the mart.

And stood in the corner where the sausages were.

“Hmm.”

What should I buy?

I was just going to buy any sausage, but there were more varieties than I thought.

The shapes also vary.

When you think about the shape of a hot dog, a stick shape seems like a good idea… … but there were many different types.

If I knew the taste, I would choose it right away, but I don’t really enjoy sausages, so I don’t know about that.

I would rather eat meat than sausage.

Oh, I’ve eaten the string sausages that are used as a side dish.

It’s an experience that doesn’t help me now.

“Should I buy them one by one?”

“All of this? What are you going to use it for?”

“Huh? Huh? What about the student?”

“Hello?”

As I was thinking about it and was about to buy everything, someone next to me spoke to me.

When I turned my head, the student who had told me the news about the grandmother at the seed shop was there.

However, she had changed out of her school uniform and was wearing a supermarket apron over her everyday clothes.

“Oh, so this is the place you worked part-time?”

“There are some here and some there, there are a lot.”

It turns out you don’t just have one part-time job.

But it was quite a coincidence.

I happened to find the student I saw earlier working part-time at the mart I just visited.

“Are you going to buy sausages?”

“Oh, yes. I’m going to put it in a hot dog, but I don’t know what to put in it.”

“Hot dogs? Are you in business?”

“I run a cafe, but I don’t sell hot dogs.”

The student looked at me with a strange expression on his face.

I also wondered what I meant when I said that.

For a moment, it seemed like he spoke in a similar tone to the student.

“So, if someone asked me to make it, I just made it.”

“Oh, just personally?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Well, then you won’t be taking large-capacity photos. Is it okay if the price goes up a little?”

“That doesn’t matter.”

“Then this is delicious. It goes well with hot dog buns. That one is usually used when making large quantities, but this one is also good. It’s cheaper, but the taste is definitely better.”

The student gave various recommendations about sausages.

Saying it like this really helped me organize it.

furthermore.

“You can see the pork content here, right? The higher the content, the more delicious it is. Of course, this is not always the case, but it is more likely.”

“Oh? There was something like that.”

“You could almost think of these pink sausages as flour.”

It certainly was.

I didn’t know this, but I found out an interesting fact.

“Thank you. I guess this will do.”

At first, I chose the sausage that the student recommended.

It’s a bit pricey, but they say it’s delicious.

I’m not going to make a lot, but I decided to make some in advance to give to Sua, so I decided to do this.

By the way, I can’t give a tip to the student who helped me, and I can’t express my gratitude… … Huh?

Where did you go again?

I was dumbfounded by the sight of the student who suddenly disappeared as suddenly as he had appeared.

He is a friend who flashes in the east and flashes in the west.

I thought it might have gone to the warehouse or outside since I didn’t see it until I bought some vegetables and came out.

‘I’ll have to say thank you next time I see you.’

I don’t know when I’ll see you though.

Anyway, I left the mart and returned to the cafe.

And then I decided to try making hot dogs.

“I need to bake some bread.”

The hot dog buns weren’t difficult.

It was similar to a morning roll or bread.

All you had to do was knead the dough a little more to make it a little stickier and shape it like a typical hot dog bun.

So first we kneaded the dough and let it ferment.

In the meantime, I took out the ingredients to go inside.

‘It’s delicious if you caramelize the onions and add them… ‘

It’s a lot of work, but I’ve heard it’s definitely delicious, so I decided to start with this.

I started chopping the onions I bought at the supermarket and frying them in a pan.

The key was to stir-fry gently and for a long time.

I had to add a little sugar and fry it for a long time until it was almost cooked.

Then the onion will gradually turn brown and become translucent.

A sweet, luxurious smell of Western food wafted from the kitchen.

‘Come to think of it, I’ve tried everything.’

I thought running a cafe only meant making drinks.

I just did it all.

It was all thanks to Suah though.

The onions need to be fried slowly, so continue like this and prepare the other ingredients.

First of all, the most important part of a hot dog is the sausage.

I took out the sausage I bought on the student’s recommendation.

And then he put a sheath on the outside.

Then, take out another pan, add some oil, and fry the sausages until crispy on the outside.

‘Oh? But it smells really delicious?’

Even though I just fried it in a pan, it felt chewy.

It felt like the juice would burst out when I chewed it.

You really chose well.

“This would be great for brunch, too.”

Sometimes, when I make breakfast for Su-ah, I think she’d like it if I served it to her too. Well, what wouldn’t she like?

I placed the cooked sausages on a plate and inspected the hot dog bun dough.

It has swelled up nicely in the meantime.

‘Even if it’s not Tori’s oyster, it strangely feels like the dough will ferment well even if you leave it in the cafe kitchen.’

Could this also be a change that occurred as Manseonggong and Turju’s abilities grew? If anything, I hoped it would be a more definite improvement.

It’s quick to get to Tori’s Cave and back, but the route isn’t all that convenient at times like this.

anyway.

The bread dough was brushed with egg yolk and baked in a preheated oven.

In the meantime, don’t forget to continue frying the onions.

“It would be delicious if you add corn cheese too.”

I prepared the cheese and cones to cover the hot dogs.

Since I had to melt the cheese at the end, I just fried the corn first.

Of course, these corns were grown and harvested in the garden in the summer, and the kernels were separated and frozen.

Mixed with onions sautéed in butter until almost caramelized.

Now that the bread was baked, all that was left to do was combine all the ingredients.

I washed the lettuce and prepared the sauce.

Ketchup, whole grain mustard, and even chili sauce.

At this level, no matter what you make and sprinkle on it, it can’t be bad.

Anyway, after finishing the preparations, I’m just waiting for the bread to cook…

Ding, ding, ding

A guest has arrived.

“Brother. I’m here.”

“Huh? Suho? You came early?”

“Yes, the match ended early. The coach sent us to rest early today. We’ve been going through a lot these past few days.”

“Oh? That’s good. Are you going to wait here until Su-ah comes?”

“Yes. But what is that smell? It smells so delicious… … Oh, right! This is our school senior.”

Suho, who had been sniffing around, quickly stepped aside as if he had forgotten and introduced the guest who had been hidden behind him.

however.

“uh?”

“uh?”

The guest and I both said the same thing at the same time.
