I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 311

Quitting the Company and Opening a Cafe Episode 311

Following the negative energy, there is the positive energy.

‘Yin and Yang… is it?’

I knew that Manseonggong borrowed the power of the Five Elements… … but now even the power of yin and yang is coming out.

It was really interesting.

I was also curious about what effect the ??’s nourishing effect would have on the cafe.

‘It’s gotten warmer.’

I think that could be seen as the biggest change.

I just realized it now, but the warmth I feel inside the tiger shelter right now is… … strange.

First of all, it was warm.

But it wasn’t hot.

I don’t know if it’s right to say that it’s a warmth that doesn’t feel stuffy, but…

It literally felt like the nourishing energy was warming my body from the inside out.

This feeling seemed like it could be confirmed by measuring the cafe temperature with a thermometer.

‘That’s right. There isn’t much difference in temperature.’

It was a little higher than usual, but the difference was not significant.

And that meant that just by coming into a cafe, your body would become healthier.

“I could probably have a matcha frappuccino with this!”

“Huh? Ah.”

I wondered what Su-ah meant by her sudden words, and it was exactly as she said.

I was worried that it might be too cold to drink a matcha frappuccino since the weather was chilly, but I think it would be okay to drink it at this temperature.

It was a very Soo-ah-like thought, but I agreed that it was okay because I thought that it was not only Soo-ah but other people as well.

There were people who enjoyed cold drinks even as the weather got colder.

I wonder if it will help them.

“But eat moderately. If you eat cold food often, your teeth will rot.”

“Hehehe! Do you brush your teeth every day?”

“Brushing your teeth is something you do every day.”

“Tsk! This isn’t fun.”

I snickered at the sight of Soo-ah covering her ears and dodging to the side.

He was a cute guy.

‘I learned a lot from the start today.’

Guardian of the sea, nourishment of ??.

There are two of them right now.

I guess that question mark is because the spirit inside the wood stove hasn’t shown itself yet?

What should I do to become friends with that guy?

“Should I burn some good firewood?”

“What is that?”

“No. You ran away, so when did you come back?”

“Hehehe. Sir, have you seen Stargram?”

“Huh? Stargram? Why is that?”

“Oh my! Mr. Potato uploaded some pictures and a video!”

“ah.”

I was talking about Choi Hyun-wook.

The day before, Choi Hyeon-wook left Cheonho-ri village.

I stayed there for 2 nights and 3 days, so it was quite a long stay, and I took a lot of photos and videos during that time.

I guess he organized it and uploaded it.

“Seon-a will be uploaded soon too?”

“Yes, yes! My sister also stayed up all night and came home today.”

“What’s so urgent that you have to stay up all night?”

“Content was originally about timing.”

I don’t know who said that, but I guess it’s okay to ignore it.

Let’s take a look at the picture.

I’ve seen him do various tasks at home, but I haven’t looked at them in detail.

Because I think it will be fun to see the finished version later.

“Let’s see… … okay?”

With sharara~

Auras come into the cafe as if they are afraid of saying let’s meet.

This was different from the aura the turtle had sent this morning. It was much weaker.

But the aura kept coming in like I was getting wet from a drizzle.

‘Indirect influence?’

Otherwise, there would be no reason for this aura to come in.

“Wow! The number of likes suddenly increased by a lot! It wasn’t like this when I saw it earlier.”

“Oh, really? Is that so?”

It was certain when I heard what Su-ah and Han-song-i, who were looking at Stargram on their phones next to me, said.

This was the aura sent by people who saw the photo posted on Stargram.

“How is the reaction?”

“I love it! The swan and the potato. Oh? There’s a langyi too! So cute! Baladang!”

Just by looking at Sua’s reaction, you could tell that people would find it cute and like it.

But that cute Rangi is right next to me, so do I really need to look at it that way?

Well… … The photo is prettier after it has been edited than the original.

By the way, the response seems to be getting better and the auras coming in are also increasing.

Even though it was only a little bit, it seemed like it wouldn’t be a small amount if it kept gathering like this.

Moreover, this was not the only one.

“Seon-ah unnie uploaded it too! Mister! Let’s watch this together now!”

“Okay. Just a moment. Let’s bake the croquis or crookies first. In the meantime, could you please ventilate them a bit?”

“yes yes!”

I came into the kitchen before I could see it.

And I made cookie dough.

I didn’t make this in advance because it doesn’t require any aging.

Since I already made the croissant dough, I baked it in the preheated oven first.

Meanwhile, mix sugar into the melted butter.

Once well mixed, add the eggs and vanilla bean.

Just add all-purpose flour, strong flour, and baking powder and knead the dough.

It would be even more delicious if you added chocolate chips to it.

Or you could crush some cookies and put them in.

I made two types of cookie dough, including one with crushed ore* in it.

The dough made this way was left to rest in Tory’s oven until the croissants were baked.

“Oh! It smells like delicious bread!”

“Want to just try one?”

“yes yes!”

I baked a generous amount of croissant dough and decided to just taste a few of them.

Because bread tastes good whenever you eat it while it’s still warm.

This is also when the butter flavor is at its strongest.

Ding!

It just finished baking in the oven.

I set some aside and spread the rest on top of the croissant with the two types of cream.

I had to apply it carefully so that it wouldn’t separate later, so I was a bit careful this time.

Then place the half-and-half cookies back in the oven and bake until the cookie dough is cooked.

In the meantime, I prepared a drink to go with the freshly baked croissants.

“Sua, you’re a matcha?”

“yes!”

“What about one writer?”

“I’ll have a latte today.”

Each drink is made to order.

Even the hand drip I drink.

Three drinks and a few croissants.

and…….

Ding!

While I was making the drinks, I also took out some of the baked crunchies.

“ruler.”

Placed on the counter table.

“wow!”

Even though it was the expected reaction from Su-ah, a smile came out naturally.

I watched the guy taking pictures here and there while being excited for a while, and then I intervened at an appropriate time.

“Let’s eat now. If we’re going to eat, we should eat freshly taken out bread.”

“yes!”

Sua, who was sitting quietly, picked up a crookie, a chocolate chip cookie version.

And one bite.

Along with the crispy croissant, the chewy cookie entered Suah’s mouth.

“How is it? Is it as good as you expected?”

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! No! It’s more than that! It’s absolutely delicious!”

“okay?”

It couldn’t be anything but a response that made me feel truly rewarded.

He smiled and placed a matcha frappuccino in front of me to drink.

In the meantime, Hansongi just tasted the croissant.

Crispy! Crispy!

“Hmm~ The croissant is also delicious, isn’t it?”

“Really? That’s good.”

Success today too… … .

Gulp!

yes?

“Huh? I thought I heard someone swallowing just now.”

“What?”

First of all, it wasn’t Su-ah who was eating bread with her mouth full.

Hansongi was also blowing on her latte and sipping it, so she couldn’t even swallow.

Then me? Of course not.

‘Sujeong, you did that?’

─No!

Yeah. Okay. No.

Sujeong was slurping down the coffee I was going to drink.

Miho and Brownie were also shaking their heads.

Then who?

Swish.

Naturally, my eyes turned to the wood-burning stove.

Of all the guys here right now, he was the only one who hadn’t eaten anything.

‘Is that guy?’

Should I call him the spirit of the wood-burning stove?

Hmm. That’s a bit of an ambiguous name… … Anyway, if it’s the sound of the spirit inside, should I give it something?

What should I give you? Firewood? It’s a bit ambiguous.

Can you give me more than that?

I don’t know if I can eat it since it’s hidden and I can’t even see it when I’m there.

“You’re not going to eat it? Then can I eat this?”

“You can eat it, but isn’t that too much?”

“It’s okay! Everything I eat in the morning is taken care of by the liver.”

“… … This is the first time I’ve heard that.”

“Because you’re a Muggle.”

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Isn’t the word Muggle used in those movies with boy wizards?

Why me?

Actually, if you think about it, I’m the most non-muggle-like wizard here, aren’t I?

Of course, I can’t say this, so it wouldn’t make any difference to Su-ah.

anyway.

“Eat.”

“Yay!”

I also gave my share of bread to Sua.

Even so, there was still plenty of bread anyway.

If you wanted to make it, you could make it as many times as you wanted.

“Oppa. Look at this. Seon-ah also included this.”

“Huh? Are you going to find the child?”

“Yes. I don’t know when this was filmed. Isn’t it amazing? The editing is also clean. It’s funny, warm, and tense.”

Compared to the photos posted by Choi Hyun-wook, Lee Sun-ah’s video definitely had a story.

This must be the difference in talent.

Choi Hyun-wook captures fleeting moments.

Lee Sun-ah tells a story.

But despite these differences, there were similarities.

It was about having a positive impact on many people.

Shararang~

The proof of this was that after Lee Sun-ah’s video was uploaded, more auras were absorbed into the Tiger Shelter.

If I continue to receive aura at this level, it seems like the aura I consumed during Chuseok will quickly recover.

Gulp!

But now you have no intention of hiding it?

He keeps swallowing without revealing his appearance.

He glanced briefly toward the wood-burning stove and then turned back.

The appearance is still hidden.

What do you want me to do?

‘Sujeong-ah, how does he eat?’

─Huh? I’m embarrassed to eat it now!

As expected, there was no answer even after asking Soo-Jung.

Still, since it seems like the seeds have sprouted unlike before, I guess we can have a conversation.

To do that, we need to become close first.

“Sua. What if I have a friend who is really shy and quiet? How do I become close to that friend?”

“Huh? Can we just become friends?”

“… … Just? Isn’t there any good way? How do I approach it?”

“Hey, what’s that? If you want to be friends, just be friends, sir.”

“huh?”

“Are you trying to scam me?”

Suah looked at me intently with a suspicious expression.

Then he clapped his hands as if he realized something.

What is it? What did you find out?

“It won’t work.”

“what?”

“I don’t think I can cheat with that kind of face.”

I don’t know why, but it was something that made me feel uncomfortable.

I have no intention of committing fraud, but if you tell me that I can’t do it, why are you more curious?

“Why? Isn’t that a very trustworthy face?”

“That’s why I trust you so much that I think you’d lie and say it’s cola but give me healthy juice instead.”

“The metaphor is a bit strange?”

Phew!

I was serious, but Hansong burst into laughter next to me.

Is this a funny story?

“Why are you laughing?”

“No, that’s it. Should I just say that I think I understand what Su-ah is saying? Anyway, that’s it. I don’t think you can be a fraud.”

“I have no intention of hitting.”

“That’s why.”

Am I the only one who doesn’t know what you’re talking about?

Crookina chewed on Hansong’s words.

It’s delicious by the way.

“If you want to become friends, first of all! You have to talk.”

“huh?”

At that moment, Su-ah said with a serious expression, as if she was going to stop joking.

I have to talk to him. It makes sense, but… … .

“how?”

“Of course, it’s a topic that interests you. Or you can just give her a snack or something and start a conversation. Sia was originally the type that was hard to get close to, but she fell for it with just one carrot and apple juice you gave her.”

“ah.”

I heard that.

It was said that SuA put in a lot of effort to seduce Sia, who she had her eye on as a future idol group member.

Then what about that guy too?

I came back to the same worry I had earlier.

What should I feed them so we can become friends?
