I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 91

Episode 91

I heard whispering coming from the counter seat.

I wonder what they’re talking about. Is Han Song-i going to give Baek Su-ho some advice?

‘I don’t think he’s that type of personality.’

Of course, before telling her to come, I briefly told her about Baek Soo-ho’s condition through a message. I didn’t have high expectations, but I thought it might be of some help.

“Ah~ That? That.”

When I hear Suho’s voice, I get the feeling that Hansong is surprisingly doing a good job?

Can’t you just give me plum ade?

But what should I give to Suho?

‘Was it a set menu last time, Ms. Hansong?’

Hansong, who came when things were not going well, definitely got better thanks to the set menu.

I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try that again this time.

‘It’s already my lips, so it would be better if I could choose for myself.’

It wasn’t exactly similar to Hansong-i in terms of condition, so I couldn’t recommend it as a recommended menu.

Even if it’s just a small thing, making your own choices will help in that situation.

I think it would be good to just let it lead naturally.

It was a bit of a to-do situation because we had to decide on a menu first.

The menu… … .

‘Oh, what happens if you use your senses?’

A sensory talent that provided the opportunity to blossom Blue Camellia’s talent.

It’s probably not just that. It’s a talent that uses big data.

So, can’t it be used in this case too?

I immediately used my senses to examine Suho.

The aura sparkled brightly. The flower of talent was still in full bloom.

But why did I suddenly get lip synch… … I looked into it a little more closely.

The flower had a somewhat stiff feel to it.

It was a funny thing. A flower that was originally motionless became stiff.

But that wasn’t a real flower, it was a flower created by Aura.

And to be precise, it felt more like a feeling of being solidified rather than being stiff.

Well, it seems like it’s similar to that, but anyway. More importantly, why is it like that?

‘Did your talent shine too early?’

That could have been it.

Because great talent from an early age comes with high expectations.

The moment you realized that, your body might have stiffened, or you might have felt pressure.

In that case, would it be good to do something that helps with mental and physical stability?

After seeing Suho’s condition, I turned my gaze to the kitchen.

And then I thought about it. Is there anything that could help Suho’s condition?

‘huh?’

Then, the ingredient in the shiny cupboard was… …black tea used in milk tea.

I didn’t even know this was here.

I understand, because tea definitely gives you peace of mind.

So naturally, when I opened the refrigerator, I saw a sparkling aura in the milk.

As expected, the drink that the senses recommended was milk tea. I was looking for new ways to use the senses and also looking for recommended menus.

“hmm.”

Now, the only thing left is how to induce this naturally… … I think some acting is needed.

And there is also a set menu served with milk tea.

This is the first thing that comes to mind when I see milk tea… … .

He glanced at the counter and recalled the story. Then he poked his head out, clearing his throat and expression.

“Oh, right. Songi, have you eaten?”

“Huh? Oh! Is it already past lunch time?”

“You didn’t even know what time it was?”

“There are many times when I live day and night… … .”

Song-i, who had a completely different concept of time, answered with an awkward expression. I didn’t mean to nag her, but did it sound like I was nagging her?

“Then would you like some snacks? Not necessarily a meal.”

“A snack? Sounds good! I’m not that hungry anyway.”

“Then I’ll give you something simple.”

“Wow. I’m glad I came down here!”

What can you do with this much… … .

I asked because I knew this would happen.

People usually think that if they work all night they will be hungry, but surprisingly, that is often not the case.

And, I will also take care of the security guard.

“Suho, do you want to eat some too? It’s easier to make a little more than one serving.”

“Yes. Then I’ll eat it too.”

If it were earlier, I would have hesitated, but now I’m going to eat it right away.

That’s good. Then now.

“Oh, right! The snack is fried bread with whipped cream.”

“Aha~! It sounds delicious just from what I’ve heard.”

“It’s a combination that can’t be tasteless.”

“That’s right. It’s good material.”

“yes?”

“Huh? Oh, it’s nothing.”

I just heard you say that Hansongi is the material, but you’re dodging it.

Is this Lee Sun-ah the content ghost and Han Song-i the material finder?

Well, it was welcome to get inspiration here.

While I was having a natural conversation with Hansong, I glanced at Suho.

It looks like you’ve chosen a drink.

“Brother, then I’ll have a latte.”

“Latte? Hmm, that sounds good.”

The snack and latte I mentioned wasn’t a bad combination.

Naturally, it can also be induced with milk tea.

“Then how about a black tea latte instead of just a latte?”

“Black tea?”

“It’s just milk tea. I think it would go well with snacks.”

“Ah! Good.”

Suho nodded his head refreshingly.

Then, Han Song-i, who was next to him, also raised her hand.

“Then can I change it to a black tea latte?”

“Of course. I’ll pack the plums for you to eat later while you work.”

“Wow! As expected, regulars are the best.”

Sigh.

I found myself laughing at Hansong’s reaction. Thanks to that, the menu was decided naturally.

I’m glad I contacted you.

But what were those two whispering just now?

“Oh, boss. Can we go outside for a minute?”

“Is it a vacant lot?”

“yes!”

“Okay. I’ll give it to you when you come in.”

What did you two decide to do outside? I didn’t care.

After seeing the two of them go out, I also came into the kitchen.

The menu includes black tea latte and fried cream toast.

First, I took out the black tea.

‘It smells good?’

I took it out because the aura was sparkling, and it seemed better than I expected.

Looks like grandpa bought something really nice.

I thought back to the recipe book. I said it was a black tea latte before, but it was actually a milk tea recipe.

I was talking about latte and beating around the bush.

“First, let’s have some black tea… … .”

Since there was a tea bag nearby, I put the black tea leaves into the tea bag.

This is to avoid the hassle of removing the tea leaves after brewing the tea. It also makes it cleaner when finished.

So I put the tea bag filled with tea leaves into cold water and started to slowly boil it.

There is no set boiling time, but it should take about 10 minutes from the time it starts boiling. If you boil it for too long, it can become bitter and sour.

Moderately but sufficiently, we take out the tea bags next time.

Instead of just throwing away the tea bag, squeeze every drop out. The water that has soaked into the tea leaves is the real extract.

“Your hands are very simple.”

It wasn’t difficult.

If anything, it was simple.

We collected the tea leaves and boiled them to make a complete extract.

Certainly, there were many processes and a lot of work involved. Above all, waiting was necessary between processes.

But I was willing to do it because it was the only way to get a properly brewed cup of tea.

The tea was boiled until it was reduced to about one third of the amount of water initially added.

The color of the tea becomes darker and its aroma deepens.

The scent I vaguely thought was good had a refreshing and sweet scent of green grapes.

‘So this is what it smelled like.’

There’s also a hint of sour orange flavor, which will probably be stronger when you taste it.

I’m also a little excited about this.

This much tea water is enough… … I glanced outside.

I wanted to see when to add milk to the tea and heat it up, and also to check what the two of them were doing… … .

“Catch ball?”

Two people sitting far apart in the empty lot were playing catch.

Why the sudden catch ball? Looking at the situation, it seems like it was Hansong who suggested it… … .

‘But I really can’t throw it.’

Did he give Hansong-i storytelling and drawing talent and take away her athletic ability?

The ball that Hansong threw didn’t even go near Suho.

At that level, that might actually be a talent… … .

A talent that can even deceive oneself.

Fortunately, Suho accepted it all without getting annoyed.

Instead, he even tried to help me maintain my posture.

“I don’t think it’ll work even if you catch it.”

I’m not going to let Hansong debut as a pro. But looking at Suho’s expression, I felt like I didn’t need to say that.

It was a simple method, but it was definitely a good method. Teaching someone is more about thinking than you think, and it also involves looking back on what you have.

Also, since Song-i was so bad at it, Su-ho was able to teach her without any burden.

This seemed like an important point.

No pressure. I’m just letting you know.

Without realizing it, my stiff body and mind were loosening up.

Besides, wouldn’t playing catch with a pretty older sister be quite enjoyable for high school student Suho?

‘Well, it’s good, but I don’t think it’ll last long.’

Unfortunately, Hansong-i was seen throwing the ball a few times and panting.

It was clear that he was physically weak.

To begin with, it looked like it had no muscle at all. We must have thrown the car while we were there, so it’s time to come in.

I need to finish making milk tea.

To make tea, we poured milk into the water and boiled it.

Bubble bubble.

The fragrant scent of tea and the rich milk added to create a soft scent.

When you boil milk, it foams and overflows, so you have to watch it carefully.

‘Oh, you’re working hard.’

I turned off the heat when the milk foam started to boil out of the pot.

‘That’s enough. Now… … .’

It was dessert’s turn.

The bread was always made in the morning.

Sometimes I give it to guests, and sometimes I just eat it myself. If there’s any left, it’s convenient to store it.

Today, I happened to have done something this morning, so I decided to use it right away.

I filled the pan with butter.

Once the butter has melted, fry the thick slices of bread until golden brown on both sides. The important thing here is to fry them as if you were frying them.

That way it comes out crispy.

In short, the goal was to create a crispy loaf of bread infused with a rich flavor.

“Mmm~ It already smells delicious!”

“Are you in already?”

“Hehehe… … It’s been a while since I last exercised.”

“Huh? But what about Suho?”

When I heard Hansong’s voice at the counter, I stuck my head out and saw Hansong with an awkward expression.

Didn’t Suho come in with you?

I glanced at the empty lot and saw that he seemed to be standing alone, thinking about something.

“I told you to do that because I thought you needed some time to think.”

“ah.”

I nodded to Hansong’s words.

Sometimes it’s nice to have times like that.

Of course, I’m not talking about a time when your self-esteem hits rock bottom, but a time when you look at yourself objectively.

“You must be hungry. Should I serve you something first?”

“No. I think I’ll be home soon anyway.”

As soon as Hansong finished speaking, Suho came in. It seemed like he hadn’t thought too deeply about it.

Eek!

Then I have to finish it quickly.

The butter-fried bread had a slit in the middle to create a space. Then, it was filled generously with whipped cream.

Simple and straightforward, yet intuitively delicious.

Pour the milk tea prepared here into a cup filled with ice, and add aged honey instead of sugar… … and it’s done.

[Milk tea and fried cream bread]

*effect

─Inspiration─>Exercise

*Set Effect

─Stability

─Immersion

I used the talent of this life, Inspiration, to add the talent of movement, and I infused stability with the talent of the basic set effect, Wood Life.

After I learned the proper Manseonggong, I was able to use it in this way, and its usability improved.

So much so that it can be customized to suit each customer.

“The milk tea you ordered, no, black tea latte, and fried cream bread have arrived.”

Now it’s time to add effects to the state that Hansong has created.
