I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 46



Only Krnovel

Episode 46

The couple sat in a corner seat by the window.

And as soon as she sat down, she stood up again and took care of Hajun without any hesitation.

“Hajun, look at that. It’s a tree. It’s a tree.”

“Wow~”

When Hajun looks at the trees in the empty lot outside the window, he seems to find the whole world fascinating.

With a curious expression, he looked at the cafe and outside.

But there was no rest for the parents who were watching from the side.

‘I can’t rest either at home or outside.’

Hajun, who couldn’t stay still, eventually left the cafe and went out into the empty lot.

Naturally, one of the parents had to follow along.

This time it seems like dad is taking on that role.

I watched the scene for a moment and then came into the kitchen.

First, I decided to make a drink.

Latte and mint tea were existing menu items, and peach ade was a new menu item.

‘The village chief again… … .’

He thanked me for taking care of the swan and gave me a peach this time.

This time, they weren’t even stored peaches; they were fresh peaches that had just started to be shipped.

You don’t have to give it to me like this every time, but I couldn’t give it back to you since you gave me the whole box like last time.

The peaches that I had no choice but to bring… … .

[Baekdo Peach]

*situation

─Advanced

*effect

─Nutrient supplements necessary for growth

Even if you only look at the commercial value, it was a Baekdo that was above average.

If I had bought it in the city, I would have had to pay several hundred thousand won, or even more.

The effect is also perfect for children.

In the case of juice, it wasn’t difficult to make.

First… …choose a fresh peach that looks like the rosy cheek of a child.

I removed the skin, which interferes with the texture.

Then, if you just scoop out the pulp, it’s almost done.

I tasted one peeled peach first.

Crunchy! Crunchy!

‘Hmm. Sweet. Sweet.’

The texture was firm and the sweetness was high.

Above all, the most attractive thing about peaches is their sweet flower-like scent… … .

“Oh my. Where does the scent of flowers come from? The windows are closed… … .”

The scent was so good that Oh Hye-ryeong, who was sitting in the inner seat of the cafe, reacted.

It was clear that the village chief’s field was not only large, but also a very good field that produced such delicious fruit.

anyway.

‘It would be better to make the peach drink last.’

The reason was simple.

It’s because of browning. If you peel a peach and leave it, its color will not be good.

So, it is better to make it at the end so that it can be presented prettily.

Of course, I could have prevented the browning somewhat by adding lemon juice, but it’s too early to do that.

So first, let’s start with the latte.

I took a shot and poured steamed milk foam over it to make flowers.

The effect is stress relief.

I followed up with a Mint Chocolate Frappuccino.

As I ground the mint, its scent spread throughout the cafe.

“It smells really good here. The smell of coffee and grass.”

When I heard Song Jun-hyeok’s voice, I looked outside and saw Oh Hye-ryeong playing with a child outside.

It was the same picture as before, except that while I used to play with my dad by running around, this time I focused more on observation.

“I feel sorry for the swan.”

If I had been there, I would have played with Hajun instead of my wife… … .

Well, there’s nothing we can do about it.

I even made some juice.

As before, I peeled the fruit, separated the flesh, and ground it in a mixer.

Actually, it would be convenient to put it in a juicer, but unfortunately, it’s not here.

So, it was necessary to lightly strain the juice from the blender through a sieve.

There’s no need to do this, but the child will eat it anyway.

I thought it would be best to make it as easy to drink as possible. Plus, this would help prevent the juice from browning to some extent.

Pour the juice you made into a cup and add a squeeze of lemon juice for a sour taste.

“Sir, your drink has arrived.”

“Ah! Yes!”

Song Jun-hyeok came right over and took the drink. Then he called the two people outside.

I guess it’s time to take a break now.

“Hajun, would you like to try this? Wow~ It looks delicious. It smells really good.”

“nah.”

“Why, Hajun? Let me just have a sip.”

“Sira~! I’m going to go see the Hajuni tree.”

Hmm… …Isn’t it always the case that things turn out differently than expected?

Hajun seemed to like playing outside more than drinking right now. He didn’t budge even when his parents desperately tried to offer him a drink.

‘I don’t know if I’m drinking the drink through my nose or my mouth.’

Seeing them acting like that without even being able to drink their own beverage properly… … .

I could see why they were both like that. Even though they looked nice and gentle, they were still kids.

Hajun is probably not an unusual child.

Even though he seemed like an ordinary child, or perhaps a bit gentle, there were some aspects of him that couldn’t be helped.

There’s a reason why, when raising a child, mom, dad, uncle, aunt, maternal aunt, grandma, and grandpa all stick together.

‘This is my first time doing something like this, so it’s difficult.’

I told you to come here because I thought it would be nice if you could come and rest, but you can’t.

I tried slowing down the tempo by slightly adjusting the aura around it… … .

It was no use.

What do I do with that?

‘Um… … Ah!’

A good idea occurred to me.

I went straight out to the backyard, took a look around, and brought out the folding chairs and table I use for camping from the storage room.

And set it in a location where you can see the garden well.

After sitting down once, I stood up.

I think this will suffice.

So I went back inside and headed straight for the couple and their child.

and.

“Excuse me, if you don’t mind, how about going to the garden with Hajun?”

“yes?”

“There is a small garden in the backyard of the cafe.”

If we’re going to go out anyway, let’s go out here.

Of course, it was the same outside here or there, but going out into the backyard had one more advantage.

I also had a reason to stay by Hajun’s side. After all, it was my garden and I could explain it to him.

While the couple was worrying, Hajun was also asked to tell him something that might be a bit harsh.

“If you go there, you can find red tomatoes and four-leaf clovers. What do you think? Sounds fun? Should we go out with your uncle?”

“Again? Huh!”

First of all, Hajun came over… … .

Oh Hye-ryeong and Song Jun-hyeok looked a little apologetic. It seemed like they had figured out my intentions.

“It’s all for our sake… … .”

“It’s okay. Thanks to Hajun, we got a lot of Baekgu snacks at the mart earlier, right? That’s why the Baekgu owner gave us a lot of peaches.”

When Song Jun-hyeok scratched the back of his head and apologized, he waved his hand and spoke exaggeratedly.

Well, it’s half true.

“Let’s go together. It will be nice to go and see it with your child.”

“Is that okay?”

“sure.”

In the end, Oh Hye-ryeong and Song Jun-hyeok decided to go together.

And I thought I could give them both a chance to rest, given the circumstances.

“Hajun, let’s go.”

“huh!”

I held Hajun’s hand and went out to the backyard.

Then, as expected, Hajun’s eyes widened when he saw the garden.

“elegance!”

I followed Hajun, who was running around as if he was curious, into the garden.

I have cleaned up the originally overgrown garden to some extent.

It wasn’t a weed, but it still needed to be cleared out so that other things could be planted.

So, it wasn’t a bad condition for Hajun to walk around in.

“There was a place like this behind the cafe?”

“Okay. Should we make a garden like this in our yard too?”

Oh Hye-ryeong and Song Jun-hyeok also seem to like it.

The two of them continued to watch, and I held Hajun’s hand and guided him around the garden.

Look at the tomatoes, and look at the mint.

I also took a close look at the clover growing outside the garden.

And then… …

“This kid is so cute.”

“Ss …

“Yes, Ssuk-ssuk. The old man named it so that it would grow quickly.”

“elegance!”

He also introduced me to Ssuksuk.

Sararak~

The leaves of the mugwort swayed and made a sound as if welcoming the three families.

While Hajun was greeting Ssuk-ssuk, I brought the seedlings and seeds that I had put aside.

“Hajun, come here. Sir, I’m going to plant this here. Can Hajun help me?”

“What is this~?”

“This is Shine Muscat. Do you know Shine Muscat?”

“I don’t know!”

“Huh, huh? Oh, you don’t know?”

Even if you don’t know, that confident spirit.

I was a little flustered, but I quickly got back to my normal pace.

“It’s a tree that produces green grapes. Do you know what a grape is?”

“Yeah! Oh, okay, please!”

Yes, whatever. Anyway, Hajun looked at me and the seedlings alternately with a curious expression.

It seems like you want to do something quickly, but you don’t know what to do.

“Okay, first we need to dig a hole to plant this in. Hajun, can you do it?”

“huh!”

“Oh, wait a minute. Let’s put on our gloves first.”

There were a lot of work gloves in the warehouse.

It’s a little big for Hajun, but it’s better to wear it to protect his hands.

He put on gloves and showed me how to dig.

“Good job~”

“huh!”

Actually, I’m not very good at it.

It was natural.

The shovel was too big for Hajun to lift and the gloves would be uncomfortable.

But what do you think?

This experience itself is important.

There’s no need to do well now.

I glanced in the direction where Oh Hye-ryeong and Song Jun-hyeok were.

I put my drink on the camping table, sat down on the chair, and looked this way.

At first, the two of them just kept wandering around, but as they kept watching, they seemed to feel relieved.

A picture of them sitting comfortably, looking this way, and chatting.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen Hajun play so well without us.”

“Yeah. We don’t even care.”

“Oh my! This is delicious. The mint flavor is completely different from anything I’ve had before. Have you tried it?”

“The latte is also delicious. It has a strangely stress-relieving scent. You should try it too.”

At first, the two of them talked while looking at Hajun and me. They also drank the beverages they had not been able to drink for a while.

Sometimes we swap drinks and drink from each other’s glasses.

Like a normal couple, the conversation gradually flowed into just the two of them relaxing.

This was exactly the picture I wanted.

“Do everything you want.”

“Wow~ Are you done?”

“huh!”

“Then let’s plant it like this.”

After seeing the couple, I focused on Hajun again.

After Hajun dug a little more into the hole he had dug, he planted the Shine Muscat seedlings there as well.

“Just cover it with dirt like this and press down hard.”

“Kukku!”

After planting the Shine Muscat, I also planted other seedlings and seeds.

I planted corn, beans, and watermelon seeds.

“I’m done.”

“I’m done!”

“Good job. Oh, and by the way, Hajun planted this Shine Muscat, so can you name it?”

“Yeah! This is Kuku!”

“Huh? Kuku?”

“Yeah, yeah!”

I was a little taken aback by the bold naming, but it actually seemed like we were on the same level.

Just looking at the ssuksuk, what is it…?

Kuru~

‘But isn’t your name okay?’

Brownie shook his head as if to say no… … The original name was said to be the best one that was easy to pronounce. Brownie.

Anyway, I made a sign out of the wood I took out from the warehouse and even put Hajun’s autograph on it.

Well, I don’t know if it’s a sign or a hieroglyph.

“Okay! Since Hajun worked hard, I should give him something delicious.”

“Is it okay?”

“These tomatoes are really sweet and delicious. Hajun, you can pick as many as you want.”

“elegance…….”

Since you did the work, of course you should be paid for it.

Hajun was able to pick tomatoes by himself.

Then the guy carefully picked two ripe, red tomatoes.

‘Huh? Why did you only get two?’

I told you to follow as much as you want.

Oh, is it because you have two hands?

The moment I thought, “There’s no way it’s not cute… …!”

Tododo!!

Hajun, who had been playing well without his parents until now, suddenly ran to Oh Hye-ryeong and Song Jun-hyeok.

And then.

“Hehehe! Mom! Dad! This.”

“Huh? What is this~? Is this something your mom gave you?”

“Yeah! Dad, too! Hajuni is the one who warms it up!”

Hajun gave all the tomatoes he had picked to both of them. Isn’t this a bit unexpected?

It seemed like the same was true for Oh Hye-ryeong and Song Jun-hyeok.

Anyway, while I was playing with Hajun, they rested among themselves, but Aura’s condition didn’t change or anything…

Sarah~!

It’s different now.

When they received the tomatoes that Hajun had given them, a clear aura radiated from the two of them.

I realized that too late.

‘That’s what suppressed the dull aura.’

In the end, I was willing to make the sacrifice because I also got happiness from my child.

“Hajun-ah. Thank you~? I’ll eat well.”

“Oh my, Hajun sweated a lot. Hajun, would you like some delicious peach juice? It’s so sweet and fragrant!”

The couple who received the tomatoes hugged Hajun and smiled happily.

“huh!”

Hajun also smiled brightly while looking at that couple.

Then… … the auras that had gathered in the garden began to dance around them.
