Episode 20. Taxes are a problem here too (2)

“really… it’s good… … .”

Elena’s cooking skills are extraordinary.

When he became a hero of the village, the village chief gave him several precious chickens.

Then I sat in the middle of the table and ate a large meal.

“Elena, the person who marries you is truly blessed. “You may be the only woman in town who can cook something like this.”

When my stomach was full, I became generous and felt good.

He did not hold back in his praise, which was a mixture of flattery and sincerity.

“Don’t worry, brother. I’m coming of age next year. Then you can marry your brother. So, you can take all the blessings.”

this… … .

Suddenly, cold sweat flows down my forehead.

“Brother, let me give you some advice. Elena, you should always live with an open mind. There may be better people in the world than me. So keep your eyes wide open.”

I am grateful in my heart, but it is not love yet.

My return to Earth is my absolute goal.

I don’t want to bury my bones in an unfamiliar world.

My patent! my money! My homeland!

“I’ll think about it~. La la la la~?”

Elena hummed and put away the dishes.

When I look at her innocent appearance, my heart is a little shaken.

Elena is quite beautiful for a country girl.

He is kind and good at cooking.

When you get married, take good care of your husband… … .

It doesn’t end there.

I have no peace of mind.

Elena feels like a younger sibling.

And I have to leave soon.

“Have you finished eating? “Let’s have some tea with me and we can talk.”

“yes!”

The village chief approached us and looked at Elena and me happily.

No, it works!

We are definitely blood brothers in a past life!!!

“I asked the blacksmith about the price of scrap metal, and he said the quality was quite good. “There are things that can be used as weapons right now.”

“really?”

“Even if you sell it cheaply, you can still get 100 golden.”

1 golden is approximately 1 million won.

The market price for scrap metal is better than expected.

If you replace it with taffy, you can survive on just taffy.

“It’s shameless, but I’ll only spend 5 golden coins, including the extra money.”

“yes?”

“I’m sorry… … .”

No, that’s not it… … .

My heart aches.

They are really good people.

If it were a village with harsh people, it would be okay to just deal with it and get rid of it.

But the village chief said he would only collect special taxes.

You don’t need that much money.

The value of my survival is greater.

It is a cheap price compared to the grace that saved my life.

“I will just accept your heart. “It is nothing compared to the grace of taking in and caring for a stranger without any doubt.”

I’m serious.

If you take money from here and leave, you are a complete idiot.

“To me, the village people are no different from my hometown neighbors. “In my hometown, there is a tradition that when there is a difficult situation, we step forward and help as if it were our own, thereby halving the pain and doubling the joy.”

“jin… … . but… … .”

The village chief’s expression is full of confusion.

A person with a living conscience.

“I thought of the village chief like my grandfather. Elena also thinks of herself like her younger sister. How can money be used to measure feelings between her family members? When it comes to money, let the village chief take care of it. “If you have any money left, please use it as a dowry when you get Elena married.”

“jin… … .”

As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief’s eyes became red.

As I was facing the grateful village chief, I suddenly remembered Master Gyeryongsan.

The excessive use of personal seals is basic, and even private loans and loans in my name.

The conclusion is that there is no comparison!

“Okay! If that’s what you want, I’ll use it for my village. “Thank you so much!”

The village chief took both hands and squeezed them gently.

It was warm.

Even though I miss Earth every day, life here was also warm.

The taste of unconditional happiness.

This is shit!

***

After that incident, he was treated like a king in the village.

The village chief did a good job wrapping it.

We were invited to this house, that house, the next house, the front house, and the back house, and were treated to a meal.

And those are the highest quality ingredients that can be served at home.

They ate precious chicken, rabbit meat, and even goat meat.

For those who only farm, 100 goldens is a huge amount of money.

The stranger who willingly gave such money was like a god to them.

“Jin, please make sure to stop by my house next time. “If you refuse again this time, I will never see you again!”

Gordon, the man I ran into on my way back from an invitation to another house.

They even made threats and made threats.

This too is hard work.

To them, it’s a huge task, but to me, it’s a talent as good as closing your eyes and resting.

“yes! Please prepare a lot of delicious dishes.”

I spat out words I didn’t even mean and pushed Uncle Gordon’s back.

“ha… … . Aren’t you going to become insectivorous if you keep doing this?”

I shook my head.

“Oppa, are you here? I picked ecurina. “I’ll make you some delicious soup, then go wash up.”

Elena’s food parade is waiting for me at home.

‘Ecurina’ is a plant that belongs to the world’s finest mushroom family and is a food ingredient that has a savory and light taste when boiled.

Instead, it is a plant that is so hard to find that it is hard to notice.

I had to go all the way to the top of the mountain to collect it.

“Elena, I understand how you care for your brother, but don’t go near the mountain. “What are you going to do when you don’t know if a monster will appear?”

Without realizing it, I started yelling.

“Oh, I was just trying to make you happy…” … . Sorry… … . “Black.”

As soon as she raised her voice, Elena was ready to shed tears.

“no… … . So what you’re saying is that next time you go, you should go with him… … . “It’s because I want to pick ecurina like Elena.”

“okay! Next time I go, I will definitely go with you! No, let’s go right away tomorrow. It’s my grandfather’s birthday in a few days, and I need a lot of ekurina and other ingredients. After all, Jin oppa is the only one~ Hehehe.”

Elena is a girl who still doesn’t know what to do.

Her sparkling laughter is a tonic that melts the heart.

at that time.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!!!

The harsh sound of horse hooves.

What is this sound???

And after a while.

“The village chief must obey the lord’s orders!!!”

A loud voice rang out, shaking the peaceful village.
