I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 98



Only Krnovel

Episode 98

It’s been raining for several days.

It was really charming to watch the rain falling on the vacant lot through the window.

The blue that becomes deeper and deeper, and the clouds that pass by in pure white.

It would have been perfect if you had some warm tea with it.

Even though summer had arrived, it still felt chilly when it rained.

Maybe once this rain stops, real summer will begin.

“Time really flies.”

I was just trying to take a break, but I feel like I want to stay like this forever.

It was a really unique feeling to be able to feel the passage of time through this kind of scenery rather than a calendar… … .

Of course, I tested ‘harmony’ while making the car.

[Herbal tea]

*effect

─Leisurely (10 days)

It’s a tea made by mixing various herbs, and originally it only had a calming effect on the mind and body. But when I used my talent to add more effects, this is what came out.

The effect of the paste was coordination and the tenth day of the moon… … .

‘It’s funny because it seems to fit together somehow.’

How leisurely.

It was even worse because it was raining. Should I say that I felt like a promising genius scholar lying in a pavilion, watching the rain fall, and reciting a poem?

This is the best way to put it, and isn’t it just the effect of a freeloader enjoying leisure activities?

still.

“I guess that’s why, it’s kind of comfortable.”

I felt really at ease.

I feel like I could just sit around and do nothing for days on end.

Maybe it’s because I’m not good at staying still by nature, but that really hit home for me.

Just watching the rain makes me feel good… … .

On the one hand, it was a big deal. I had to do something, but I kept putting it off because I was too comfortable.

We still have a long way to go in learning how to properly utilize harmony.

I tried a few other herbal teas besides this one, but nothing really worked.

“Should I remove the effect?”

But will that work? I don’t know because I’ve never tried it.

I’ve never wished for the effects that have come out so far to last longer, I just wish they would disappear.

There was no reason for that.

Even now, it just occurred to me, and I have no intention of trying it seriously.

Because this condition is too good.

“It’s really good. I like it.”

The mountains and forests also needed to catch their breath before one season passed and a new one began.

And the same goes for the crops and people on top of it.

In that sense, there must be times like this.

Why~

“Are you in? Where’s Tori?”

Why?

“Did you go home?”

At that moment, Rangi, who had been playing in the garden, came in and sat down next to me. Then, calmly, he groomed the rain that had gotten on his fur.

Tori must have gone back to her house since she didn’t come in.

Since it’s an oyster, it won’t get wet from rain.

By the way, that guy Langi… … came in leaving footprints on the floor.

“… … I’ll clean it up later.”

Not once or twice.

I would tell him to clean the floor as well as his body, but he’s not the type of guy to listen to what I say.

By the way, the atmosphere is really good.

‘In weather like this, I’d rather close up shop and have some pajeon (green onion pancakes) instead.’

I’ve never done that after closing down a business, but I’ve done it while working at a company.

When I was out on site and had to stop work because of the sudden pouring rain, I had a drink with my coworkers. The pajeon and makgeolli that day were really great.

“Come to think of it, there were some green onions in the garden, right?”

I don’t know if that’s a green onion.

In fact, it was one of the first plants I bought from a seed store and planted, but didn’t pay much attention to.

Because there is almost no need to use green onions in a cafe.

But then this suddenly occurred to me.

It doesn’t look like the rain will stop any time soon, and no guests have come for several days.

Maybe it was because of the weather, but… I had a feeling it wouldn’t rain until it stopped.

‘Should I really eat some pajeon?’

First, I went out to the garden and checked the condition of the green onions.

Let’s see… … .

“That’s perfect.”

There are green onions and scallions.

I can’t hesitate when I have all these ingredients.

I just pulled out the green onions. The green onions, which looked greener perhaps because they were soaked in the rain, gave off a fragrant and spicy aroma.

“This has to be delicious.”

This is the paro transfer that was just picked like this.

I just washed the dirt off and put it straight into the basket.

It’s nice to eat while watching the rain in a cafe, but the smell of oil and the sound of rain falling are also enjoyable.

So I came out to the front of the cafe.

The eaves were long so rain didn’t come in.

I sat down slightly to the side of the entrance and started making dough right away.

‘Come to think of it, I’ve never made pajeon myself.’

Still, it was easy to make because I roughly followed the recipe.

Hmm~ Hmm~

I find myself humming.

I looked through the window as if I had no idea what Langyi was doing, but it was okay.

Because this situation itself is fun.

Just take out the burner from the pantry, light it, and place an oiled frying pan on top of it, and you’re really ready to go.

Now, lightly dip the green onion into the batter and place it in the frying pan… … .

Choaak~!

The sound of rain was so loud that it was hard to tell what was really going on.

Thud! Thud!

Oil or grease.

Well, what do you think? It sounds delicious.

“It’s a shame there’s no seafood, but I guess this will suffice with ingredients from the garden.”

Rather, this may be what brings out the original flavor of the green onion to its fullest.

The original taste that is both sweet and spicy.

If there’s a rich flavor that comes from the combination of flour dough and oil, then it’s just perfect.

“It’s a shame to eat this alone… … .”

“Mister~!”

“What incredible timing.”

Just as I was about to turn over, Su-ah came running from the path.

He was running naked, as if he hadn’t even brought an umbrella.

“Eww!”

“Why aren’t you using an umbrella?”

“Hehehe! I lost it on the bus.”

“Oh my, good job. Take that with you when you go.”

He said, pointing to the umbrella I had brought.

There were quite a few umbrellas there.

“Why are there so many umbrellas? You’re alone.”

“… … I forgot and went home and came back with a new one.”

“Hehehe! What is that!”

Why does it always stop raining when I go home… … So I often forget to bring an umbrella.

I don’t forget anything else, but I don’t know why I forget my umbrella so easily.

anyway.

“Come and sit down. It’s cold.”

“Huh? But what are you doing here?”

“Pajeon.”

“Why are you here in Cheongseong?”

“It has a certain charm.”

“Why does Rangi look so pitiful?”

That’s because he doesn’t know romance.

I swallowed those words. If I spit them out, Su-ah would probably look at me with pity.

Well, how could a young child know this joy?

But even though he says that, he comes and sits next to me.

“Pajeon at a cafe?”

“Why? Not really?”

“No! It’s perfect! My grandfather used to make it for me too.”

“okay?”

“But at that time, all the village grandfathers came and it was crazy.”

If he were my grandfather, he would be a man who would do that and more.

I’m just planning on eating something simple. When I go down to the village, everyone will probably be cooking at home.

“But it doesn’t turn over?”

Suah squats down next to him and gives him some advice.

It’s a little frustrating that I have to follow that advice since I was already trying to turn it over…

Okay! Okay~

“Oh!”

He held the fan as if it were nothing and flipped the pancake using only the snap of his wrist.

The golden brown, ripe noodles are revealed, making my mouth water even more.

Achoo!

“Huh? Su-ah, do you have a cold? Come to think of it, you came home early today?”

“Hehe. I came early because I had a runny nose. But it’s okay!”

“It’s cold because you’re walking around in the rain. What about medicine?”

“Mint is a medicine.”

What is he talking about… … .

Fortunately, the symptoms did not appear to include a fever and only a slight runny nose.

It’s warm in front of the fire, so the clothes will dry quickly…

“Drink this first.”

I quickly went into the cafe and made the herbal tea I had just made.

No separate effects were added.

Come to think of it, there really aren’t any talent effects that I can put in that are good for the body. But it’s okay to just drink something warm.

“Hehehe! Hey! Sir, you have to turn over!”

I handed over the tea and quickly turned the pancake over. Luckily, this side was cooked well and golden brown.

The rich aroma of the stew and the fragrant smell of green onions were very appetizing.

I immediately placed the finished dish on a plate.

“Let’s eat.”

“Aya~! It was good that you came early hehe!”

The runny nose is still good, but the sniffling is bad.

I tore the pajeon into long strips, rolled it up on my chopsticks, and handed it to Su-ah first.

And I just tore off a piece and took a bite.

“Hmm~”

“Euuuum~~!”

At the same time, elasticity came out.

This is the taste.

It’s so hot that it feels like the roof of my mouth is going to burn, but that makes it even more delicious…

The sweetness of ripened green onions and the texture that is still alive because they are not completely dead.

And even a hint of spiciness.

‘No need for seasoning.’

You don’t need soy sauce or chojang.

It just had the original flavor of the green onion.

Of course, flour and oil also played a supporting role.

It wraps you up nicely and gives you a feeling of fullness.

Besides, this wave… … .

[Pajeon]

*effect

─Activation of the body

─Strengthening immunity

It even had this effect.

The chilly weather gradually began to feel warm.

The taste and effect are both very good.

‘You did a good job of frying the pajeon.’

I was worried at first, but it was so good that I realized it was a needless worry.

“It’s delicious~ Sir, one more please!”

“Huh? Have you already eaten everything?”

While I was savoring the food and looking at the surrounding scenery for a moment, Su-ah had already finished the remaining plate of pajeon.

Great guy.

I have no choice but to play one more round.

I haven’t even sent a message yet.

at that time.

“I was wondering where that delicious smell was coming from, and it was here.”

“Huh? Oh, you’re here? Do you want some coffee?”

“I originally thought so, but I changed my mind. Can I join you?”

It was a single writer.

She, who had crossed the empty lot with an umbrella, also sat down next to Su-ah instead of entering the cafe.

I didn’t plan on it being like this, but it looks like it won’t end in one go.

There’s nothing I can do.

“Of course. Sit down. Oh, you’re already seated.”

“This is my first time doing something like this. It’s so much fun. Does Su-ah always do this?”

I was speechless when I first saw her, but she fits in this kind of situation well. Han Song-i, who was sitting next to her, immediately started talking to Su-ah and joined her naturally.

“Sister, even in the countryside, opportunities like this are rare.”

“okay?”

“Of course I’m lying! Hehe! Of course, this is my first time having green onion pancakes made by the uncle.”

Hansong laughed out loud at Suah’s joke.

The sound of rain, the sound of pancakes frying, and even the sound of laughter added to the mix, creating a truly mysterious feeling. It was as if the scent of people had seeped into nature… .

I think this is true healing.

Of course, there was something that was needed for that healing.

“I think we might be short on green onions. Could you go to the garden and pull out some for me?”

“Wow~ This will be fun. Su-ah, do you want to go with me?”

Hansong happily went to the garden to pull out green onions.

and…….

“This is a green onion.”

“oh!”

I pulled out the green onions very neatly.

I can’t fight with this… …I put it aside for now and asked him to pull it out again.

Luckily, I pulled out some green onions this time.

‘I can fry green onions, but what about leeks?’

At that time, I was thinking that I should take it home and make some side dishes!

A good idea occurred to me.

“Sir! You have to turn it over!”

“Oh, okay.”

First, turn the pancake over.

The green onion pancakes that Soo-ah flipped over were golden brown and very well cooked.

Even though he had no talent for cooking, he was a good kid when it came to timing his training like this.

“Come on, let’s eat. Eat.”

“Wow~!”

As the saying goes, even the Diamond Mountains look better after a meal, let’s think about this after eating all the green onion pancakes that we’ve flipped over.

And so the pajeon party started again.

But then someone else came up the path, drawn by the smell of pancakes.
