Putting the soaked soybeans in the large capacity cooking pot.
Filling water about half the pot and soon starting to boil the beans on strong fire.
Waiting about 30 minutes with the lid closed foam overflowing. Quickly opening the lid and calming the overflowing and lowering the fire strength to medium fire.
From here continuously boiling while caring not to burn the beans about 3 hours.
“Let’s switch with mom.”
“Yes.”
3 hours quite long time but actually living not that long time. Father before I knew it going fishing with Ara and guests also going around sightseeing the dungeon.
Seona? That one shooting here and there then going to shoot Ara fishing.
Briefly entrusting the pot to mother and pitching the camping tent. And putting various tools together then calling Jeong Soyeon and Kang Hanul.
“When wanting to rest fine using here.”
“Amazing camping site completed! By the way fine not helping?”
“Fine. Later when beans all ready only shape catching together.”
“Uahaha! Understood!”
“A, and hot spring nearby? Want to go once?”
“Hot spring?!”
Hyung Hanul with expression fully hardened nodding like broken.
“Saying hot spring in the dungeon too!”
“Will attach one slime. Will guide the way.”
Attaching one slime who was playing.
Then Jeong Soyeon who was sightseeing the village elsewhere also hearing the news of hot spring and joining.
“Th, this heaven?”
“Seeming so. Indeed to good person like younger brother Gyuseong heaven rolling in.”
Sending the chattering two to the hot spring then I remaining in place and diligently mixing the beans with spatula. Before I knew it time quite passed looking at the beans crumbling even slightly touching and sensing preparation ended.
“This done?”
“Yeah, seeming all done.”
“Hard work, mom.”
Preparation ended so gathered people.
Bringing the fishing party and hot spring party before I knew it the well mashed beans visible.
“Then, now everyone know meju shape right? Brought the mold here so fine pressing and putting.”
Laying vinyl inside the mold and pouring the mashed beans on that. Soon clumping and pressing firmly and making square shape the meju completed.
“Th, this end? Feeling nothing done...”
Hyung Hanul muttering with awkward expression.
“This end. Now putting on the rice straw prepared in advance here and drying well and fermenting completed.”
“Ooh. Then about how many days ferment?”
“Knowing taking a bit over a month. But anyway environment special so seeming have to look well every day and see if fermentation well.”
As fermented food unable to make quickly. Ultimately time important food.
Like that holding the meju each made and heading to the empty warehouse for fermentation. Prepared rice straw here in advance.
“Uh?”
“Puhut. What, that!”
Like that witnessing unexpected scenery in the empty warehouse entered. Gomgomi curled body round on the rice straw well spread to dry meju and sleeping soundly.
“When came and sleeping.”
“Gomgomi!”
Ara holding meju and running trotting and examining Gomgomi. Soon looking at Gomgomi not waking at all even carefully touching and flustered.
“Gomgomi not waking!”
“Eeh.”
What? By any chance body not good?
We quickly approaching Gomgomi and examining the state. Fortunately breathing evenly soundly and looking at overturning body no injured place visible.
“By any chance hibernation?”
Then Jeong Soyeon tilting head and asking.
“Uh?”
“A, come to think of it bear!”
Somehow words with reason. Lived together until now and not knowing but Gomgomi also bear. And bear sleeping hibernation natural principle.
Whether we touch or not Gomgomi just curled body round and deeply immersed in sleep.
“Soft soft.”
Ara holding such Gomgomi and rubbing face. By the way really became troublesome. Have to keep leaving Gomgomi here?
“Hmm...”
“Oppa, can’t bring Gomgomi to our house?”
“Home?”
“Only while sleeping hibernation. House warmer.”
Casually lowering gaze and looking at Ara Ara blankly looking at me and Seona then hugging Gomgomi.
“Seeming not fine?”
“...Right.”
For now moved the sleeping Gomgomi.
To begin with the kkumuri built house for Gomgomi too but don’t know the reason sleeping here. Have to prepare something like cotton blanket in Gomgomi’s house?
Leaving the sleeping Gomgomi and well putting the made meju on the rice straw. Now while doing farm work flipping in the gaps and caring completed.
“Expecting!”
“Smell nutty good. Slightly cheonggukjang feeling too.”
The made meju quite many amount.
Anyway not only us eating so became making a lot, honestly this also looking small.
Made once so next time have to try making alone too.
* * *
Time flowing became evening.
We all together ate dinner then family returned home.
“Keu, school days coming to mind.”
Just Kang Hanul and Jeong Soyeon decided to sleep one day and go but places to sleep sufficient.
Places to sleep in the buildings the kkumuri made, if anything fine sleeping in camping tent too.
I together with guests lighting fire on firewood and blankly enjoying fire gazing. Because winter the campfire approaching even more special.
“Too good.”
Jeong Soyeon muttering with blank face. In such her arms Ara demurely held and nodding off.
“Next invite orphanage kids too and all play together.”
“...Fine?”
“Yes. As it was thinking of calling guild people too and holding company dinner party here how. But suddenly winter coming and postponed back.”
“Wow, really seeming good! If only Mr. Gyuseong permits really expecting schedule.”
Chatting warmly suddenly hyung Hanul taking out something from arms and starting to sip alone. By any chance that my alcohol?
“Heu, good. Enjoyed in hot spring too but having one drink looking at campfire like this also charm in its way.”
“Glad liked.”
“Younger brother Gyuseong.”
“Yes, hyung.”
“Really thank you.”
Suddenly sensitivity abundant?
Tilting head looking at hyung Hanul suddenly expressing thanks.
“Suddenly?”
“No, what... Just saying now what intending to say once sometime. Inviting to dungeon like this too, making the meju I said too, and treating delicious food every time too...”
“No need. I also thanks to joined Ara Hongryeon and always enjoyed. Ara also following hyung a lot.”
Ara even nodding off but opening eyes half and examining when own story coming out.
“Called?”
“Ara, sleepy?”
“Not sleepy.”
At Ara’s appearance saying not sleepy but looking sleepy to anyone we all bursting laughter. Whether so or not Ara digging more into Jeong Soyeon’s arms and curling body.
“Sleep together with unnie?”
“Ung.”
“I will go in first and sleep. A, fine using tent together with Ara?”
“Of course.”
Quiet scenery pure white snow spread.
Sky like night with milky way widely spread and campfire making tadak tadak ASMR sound.
Looking at hyung Hanul sipping only alcohol without side dish then I standing up from place and bringing several potatoes.
“Have side dish.”
“Ooh.”
Cutting potatoes into 8 and stir-frying in frying pan with butter. And bringing fairy’s honey and dipping and eating.
Simple but hearty and very delicious potato dish.
Like that today one day also peacefully passed.
* * *
Joyful one day passing and seeing off Jeong Soyeon and hyung Hanul and I also heading to Ara Hongryeon together.
Because of the transaction with Terror Guild had to visit once so since came out drop by. While at it buy Ara’s winter clothes too.
“Heheheum~!”
Ara excited at the thought of buying new hat and humming from preparing to go out. Even buying hat quite often always seeming new and mood good.
“Younger brother Gyuseong when thinking of buying car?”
“Um, have to buy but for now looking a bit.”
“No need to necessarily buy expensive but car needed. Think once.”
“Yes.”
As hyung Hanul said seeming good if one private car. But because one plan suddenly came to mind in my head now awkward spending money recklessly.
‘Large scale construction.’
Actually intending to buy the mountain with the money obtained from the transaction with Machonru this time, but in the end obtained from Terror Guild.
Then money saved? That not.
Actually becoming like this decided to use the money obtained from Machonru for construction.
That also quite large scale.
‘If putting construction order through father fine...’
Intending to flatten the place with my dungeon and open road too. Plus build buildings surrounding the dungeon.
Probably with the money currently possessed sufficiently possible seeming. Still just in case until estimating decided not to spend large money.
Moreover inside Gluttony’s dungeon also intending to make house for me and Ara to live, and house for parents to stay so places money going many.
If using kkumuri and goblins labor problem seeming resolved... Materials also seeming able to cover to some degree with what coming from the mine.
“Arrived.”
“Aa. Already vacation ended? Unbelievable.”
Jeong Soyeon making crying face and getting off the car. Hyung Hanul patting such Jeong Soyeon’s back with a chak! sound and laughing.
“Uahaha! Kid! Work hard when able and retire quickly!”
“If retire fine building house in one corner of Mr. Gyuseong’s dungeon and living quietly? Not disturbing and just living quietly.”
“Haha. If retire come anytime. Land wide.”
Accepting the two’s joke smiling suddenly Jeong Soyeon and hyung Hanul who changed to serious expression whispering.
“Oh, then when retire? Shall tomorrow right away?”
“That also seeming good. Still affection until now so have to give one week grace to the guild?”
“Um, have to give some time to prepare to hyung. Otherwise really may get scolded big.”
“I, that?”
Looking at the two speaking with expression not like joke and me flustered Ara grinning and leading.
“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong, going to buy hat!”
“Uh, uuh.”
Well, if necessarily coming not particularly not fine but mental preparation...
Like that entering Ara Hongryeon just in time whether guild master’s time free immediately calling me.
“Came, Mr. Gyuseong.”
“Heard the story. Thank you for caring in various ways, guild master.”
“Just did the natural thing to do as guild master. Sit in front.”
Soon sitting in the seat he handed documents to me.
Documents with many complex contents but document explaining that well separately again.
“For now read slowly and confirm.”
“Yes. Thank you. Is there something I have to do separately?”
“For now form of handing the things Mr. Gyuseong delivers to Ara Hongryeon secondarily so nothing particularly to do. Of course if delivery amount increases better seeming.”
“Um, as it was increasing the field thinking once.”
Situation gradually increasing the field because of goblins. To begin with better some to field, some putting strength in village construction than everyone working in the mine.
“A, and one more news.”
“News?”
“Yes. Not other thing formal invitation came from Machonru Guild.”
“Oh!”
Invitation of China’s dinosaur guild Machonru.
Curious what waiting?
