I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 312

Quitting the company and opening a cafe Episode 312

Su-ah and Han-song-i decided to come back in the afternoon around the time of the professional baseball rookie draft and went back home.

Hansong-ya will work without a second thought, and Su-ah will… …play as she pleases.

Last time I saw you, you were doing an idol dance cover and I saw you dancing hard at home.

It turns out I’m not the only one exposed to noise between walls.

I didn’t really say anything because it wasn’t that noisy or bothersome. Adults all like it.

“It seems like you were born to be loved.”

And since it’s a method recommended by that guy, I should give it a try… …How can I know this?

“Sujeong-ah. What do you think she would like?”

─Ugh. Fire?

“It’s one-dimensional.”

─Huh? Is that good?

“… … That’s good. Because it’s pure.”

─Yeah, yeah! Sujeong is innocent!

Yeah, I’m not disappointed because I didn’t think you’d be of much help.

I looked at Miho without asking Soo-Jung any more questions.

Miho also seems to have fire-related properties, as she can create fire on her tail.

“Miho, you, ah.”

What?

He just likes to play and eat fruit.

If it’s more transparent than the crystal, then it’s transparent, not less transparent.

In the end, there was no one left to help.

“I didn’t even expect it.”

You guys just have to stay healthy.

First, I came to the counter.

In my experience, introverted friends feel more uncomfortable when you suddenly start acting friendly to them.

I think it would be better to do what I have to do and wait for an opportunity.

‘I think the bread should be baked to this extent.’

I looked for something to do in the kitchen, but there wasn’t anything to do, so I went out to the garden.

The aura kept coming in through the indirect influence of Stargram and YouTube videos, and the garden was full of life.

Well, it wasn’t like that before.

“Sleeping too well is also a problem.”

Even if you harvest moderately, it grows back quickly again.

However, Tori’s cave has been expanded so it is still possible to save, but is it okay if this continues?

There are already several boxes of sweet potatoes.

‘I think it’ll be okay since the harvest will decrease in winter?’

After all, most crops don’t grow on cold days.

It seemed like it would adjust itself.

Of course, crops that can be harvested on cold days will also grow well.

First, we need to harvest what we have now… … .

“huh?”

But the temperature in the garden, which should be similar to that of the vacant lot, feels a little warm?

Did the power of nourishment really reach this far?

“Isn’t this no different from a vinyl greenhouse?”

The advantage of this warm weather is that crops can grow regardless of the season.

But it wasn’t something to be completely happy about.

Why are there seasonal crops?

There will be temperature, of course, as well as sunlight, humidity, etc.

Among these, most people probably know the importance of temperature without needing to be mentioned.

“It’s a little difficult.”

It wasn’t because I had a lot of work to do.

It was more of a shame not to get winter crops.

Changing the menu with the seasons can be a hassle, but it’s still worth it.

And it was fun.

But you can’t do that.

Even if it were to continue to apply in spring, fall, and summer… … it would be very difficult.

“Ah! Tur management.”

Just in case, I brought up the text window for managing the terrain.

This is because the detailed tori’s holes could be controlled more precisely through this…

‘I guess it could be done, but it looks like the guy in the wood stove could do it.’

Unfortunately, unlike Tori’s den, I had no complete control over it.

I don’t know where this difference comes from.

I was able to customize Tori’s oyster, whether it was because I made it or because Tori trusted me.

But it didn’t have a nourishing effect.

Because the spirit in the wood stove hasn’t become friendly with me yet.

‘The effect itself seems good, but… … I can’t use it properly.’

If this works, it would be perfect if only part of the garden is turned on later.

The greenhouse is created by itself.

Moreover, it seemed that the effect was not limited to cafes and vegetable gardens, but also to other areas under land management.

All of this, if the spirit of the wood stove permits.

But without permission, it was all for naught.

Just looking at the garden, not all crops needed nutrition.

Rather, it was better for winter crops not to have a nutritious effect, because the cold weather makes them produce high-sugar fruits.

‘If we do this, we won’t be able to plant winter crops in the garden.’

I came out to organize that… … but of course there was a bit of a hitch in the plan and also in running the cafe.

It wasn’t the time to be so happy about the health benefits.

But if you go inside right now and ask the spirit to adjust this, will he listen to you?

If I hid any longer, it didn’t seem like he would grant my request.

That’s why I went out to the garden.

“hmm.”

It was a little awkward.

I can’t think of a way right now… … .

‘I had to organize the garden before winter anyway, so I’ll use this opportunity to sort out the crops that will benefit from the greenhouse effect.’

We decided to set aside the crops we were growing that could withstand the greenhouse effect and create space to plant new winter crops.

Among the crops that can tolerate the greenhouse effect, there were those that the café continued to need.

Mint, tea leaves, etc.

And they were crops needed for the menus made into drinks and snacks at cafes.

For these things, it would be good to maintain a certain quality level, so it would be good if a certain temperature was maintained.

Let’s gather these together and organize them.

I decided to empty the remaining space.

While I was doing that, I thought a bit about what to do with the spirit in the wood-burning stove.

“… …I was just trying to do a little weeding.”

Things have gotten a little bigger.

I’m going to go as far as plowing the garden… … I had a lot of fun during Chuseok, so I have to get to work.

Kuru~

“Okay. Let’s do it.”

It was something that had to be done even if it didn’t have any nutritional benefits.

It was important to become friendly with the spirits in the wood-burning stove, but this was also important.

This will all come in handy later.

First, we decided where to place the crops that require greenhouse maintenance all year round.

It wasn’t difficult because I just had to put them all on one side.

The rest was decided to harvest what could be harvested and throw away what needed to be thrown away.

‘This is my first time cleaning up like this.’

I just tried planting them in new spaces every time.

At first, we started out on a small scale so we had some space left over, and later on, as we expanded, we were able to add more crops, which was enough.

This is the first time I’ve cleaned up on such a large scale, other than weeds.

“I ate well.”

Somehow, without realizing it, I felt grateful.

I expressed my gratitude to the crops that had worked hard to bear fruit over the years.

And we promised to see each other again next year.

‘At this point, I guess I can tell Su-ah that it’s F instead of T?’

I suddenly had that thought, but I decided to just keep it to myself because I felt like I wouldn’t get any good feedback.

After clearing out the garden once, I could feel that it had changed a lot since it was first bare ground.

“It was a lot wider than I thought.”

Considering the amount of crops used in the cafe, it was excessively large.

At this point, it would be okay to open a fruit and vegetable store instead of a cafe.

‘I think it would be good to increase the variety. The quantity is actually sufficient.’

I was thinking of increasing the variety starting next year.

Anything you plant will grow quickly and bear fruit, so there is no need to plant too much of one type.

It seemed like it would be better to plant a variety of crops.

‘If only we could plant winter crops.’

It is now well known that it is okay to do this at a different time than usual for seasonal crops.

Because it grows much faster and bears fruit much faster.

If you plant winter crops now, they will likely be fully grown by the time winter really arrives, unless they are special plants like mugwort or burdock.

All that remains is to fill the empty space with winter crops.

beep?

“How is it? Are you okay?”

Beep!

The torii that came out of the cave wandered around here and there, seemingly satisfied with the changes in the garden.

The guy who is like the garden manager also likes it, so it is confirmed as is.

“But there are more empty seats than I thought.”

Even though I had quite a bit of the lemon, lime, and mint varieties that I usually use left over, it was still like that.

To begin with, there weren’t many lemon or lime trees, and mint didn’t take up much space, so…

‘These guys are really good value for money.’

Sweet potatoes were also left as is.

This will be needed throughout the winter.

“I should plant tangerines and strawberries here.”

I organized and wrote down what I wanted to plant in the remaining space.

You can buy crops from the nursery or ask the village.

Otherwise, I decided to ask Bae Jun-ho and, if he said it was okay, plant as many types of winter crops as possible.

“It doesn’t seem like it took much effort, but quite a bit of time has passed?”

When I stood up with my back straight, it was like this.

That’s why farmers say that if they open their eyes and go out to the field for a while, the sun will set.

Farming was not an easy task, no matter what.

But after finishing it, there was nothing that gave me as much satisfaction.

To bear fruit in something.

The achievement can be felt not only by how deliciously ripe the fruit is, but also by the result itself.

Knock knock!

I shook off the dirt on my clothes and washed the dirt on my hands in the tap.

I also shook off my shoes and washed them.

So now, we went inside to determine the success of our newly-created field.

I went in, thinking hard in my head about how to resolve the issue with the spirit in the wood stove… … .

Hurrruk?!

As I opened the back door, something hurriedly flew out of the kitchen, which was right in front of me.

Of course not, since Brownie, Miho, and Sujeong were with me.

There was only one guy left here.

‘Wood stove!’

The guy who was hiding inside came to the kitchen while I was away.

But what were you doing in the kitchen?

Instead of chasing the guy who ran away in a hurry, I looked for changes in the kitchen.

Maybe there’s a way to become friends with the guy.

‘Everything seems to be the same, but what is happening here… …!’

Found it. What’s changed in the kitchen.

It was bread.

It’s been quite some time since I’ve been in the garden.

Of course, the bread that was just baked should have cooled down to be normal.

But now all the breads in the kitchen were steaming.

Just like freshly baked bread.

That was the reason why the mouthwatering aroma of butter and flour filled the kitchen.

“Why did you heat the bread?”

Why? Since a fire elemental spirit must have come nearby, it would have naturally been heated by its heat.

And that meant that the guy clearly wanted to eat bread.

‘Was it Bbangsoon?’

Then you shouldn’t have said it before.

It’s served right after it’s been baked.

I thought that since I live in a wood-burning stove, I would have to give him things like firewood, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

‘I’ve already eaten a few.’

No, but how long have I been away and how many have I eaten?

That too, right before I came in?

It was an introversion that was unimaginable.

If you just give them bread like this, they probably won’t eat it…

First, let’s make some new bread.

I gathered the bread I had made earlier in one place and stored it in the freezer.

This is the amount I can eat quickly if I eat one for breakfast.

“The kids will be here soon, so I’ll make some new bread.”

I took out the dough while muttering to myself loudly for no reason.

I don’t know what kind of bread you like…

‘Let’s make them by type.’

From baguettes to bread, cakes, etc.

I decided to try making all the breads I’ve made before.

And after a while.

The delicious smell of fresh bread almost filled the cafe.

Freshly baked breads were stacked on trays.

I don’t know how long it was baked.

I just kept grilling them by type as I went.

Since you’ve come this far, you’ll probably like one of these, right?
