Chapter 136

“What actor?”

Looking at Ara asking back tilting head I without knowing endured laughter.

“Saw TV at grandma, grandpa’s house right?”

“Oh! People came out!”

“The people coming out there actors.”

“Dancing and singing!”

Suddenly Ara bouncing while riding on Gol gol’s back. At the awkward dancing twitching the laughter endured came out.

“Why our Ara so cute?”

“I cute!”

Looking at Ara diligently appealing own cuteness seeming fine trying supporting role once as experience. Of course have to see the contract conditions.

This time running Gol gol at full speed without leaking in the middle able to return in an instant. Confirming in real time with mini map Gol gol’s speed much felt.

Fortunate awakener otherwise if ordinary person unable to endure Gol gol’s speed.

-Hihing.

Before I knew it village visible and family comfortably resting inside the village also visible. Looking at such family Ara standing up and unfolding acrobatics and waving hands.

“I came!”

At Ara’s shout Seona reacting first. Seona hugging kkumuri and slime in both arms and rubbing face standing up as is and running.

“Ara!”

“Lee Seona Seona!”

Anyone looking seeming like seeing after several months.

Ara quickly jumping down from Gol gol and running to Seona. Seona also unable to give up the kkumuri and slime holding in both hands and hugging Ara in arms.

Looking at the two directing dramatic reunion I greeting mother and father.

“Came?”

“Where went and came?”

“Briefly had work and went far a bit. Went farther than thought and caused worry.”

Just in time father approaching and suddenly holding out something. Looking documents about construction.

“Sent PDF file with phone too so keep that for now.”

“Yes. But amount came out less than thought?”

“Now start. Probably additionally continue going out.”

Nodding at father’s words but even so amount measured less than expected. From materials to heavy equipment rental or laborers’ wages thought coming out not lightly...

‘Indeed connections!’

Price almost only 2/3 of market.

Seeming people employed with father’s connections. Later I have to give separate thank-you money.

Father may say something to me as pushover but personally thinking the more knowing relationship the better have to treat.

To not lose preciousness deceived by familiarity.

“Checked meju?”

“Confirmed and flipped before going. Want to look once?”

“Yeah. Let’s go look.”

Mother whether curious about meju immediately going to confirm the meju drying on the rice straw first.

Ara chatting the matters until now to Seona and mindless so leaving to play and entering the warehouse.

“What.”

Came to confirm meju but fur ball curling body round visible. Clearly put in the house last time but before I knew it came out again.

“Gomgomi, if sleeping in such place chin turns.”

Gomgomi breathing evenly soundly. Indeed like last time not budging even touching. Ultimately decided to just leave the sleeping guy.

“Next winter have to put some rice straw in Gomgomi’s house.”

“How the kids here all one by one all cute.”

Mother stroking Gomgomi then soon confirming the meju. Then carefully examining the meju and saying.

“I also not well knowing. Doing well?”

“Seeming doing well?”

Our parents also never directly made meju so knowledge not much. Still nowadays internet so well developed if referencing online most things possible.

“A, this time going and coming brought something a bit.”

“China?”

“No. Just brought today.”

We going out again and finding Bokkeum. Bokkeum just blankly beside Ara and Seona pointing at Bokkeum and asking.

“But why Bokkeum’s bag became like this? Strangely changed?”

“Synthesized and evolved. Now bag role plus shield role too.”

“...Bokkeum something role a bit, pitiful.”

Moving luggage instead, now even getting hit instead Bokkeum. But my fault none. Just how synthesis became like this.

Anyway putting Bokkeum’s change behind and making take out bamboo shoot and bamboo first. Actually whether same family as Earth’s bamboo don’t know but appearance similar.

“Oh, by any chance this bamboo?”

“Probably?”

Nodding in state unable to be certain. And Ara supporting beside looking at the taken out bamboo.

“Delicious.”

“Delicious? I first seeing bamboo shoot.”

Seona holding the bamboo shoot in hand and examining this way that way actually me also first eating bamboo shoot this time.

“What sound. Why you not ate bamboo shoot.”

“Didn’t eat so saying didn’t eat?”

“When young all ate. Just not remembering.”

At father’s words somehow thinking? feeling also came. Anyway looking at the brought bamboo and bamboo shoot all amazed.

“No bamboo forest here too?”

“Yes. A bit far though.”

Not particularly unable to go if going but considerably far. Riding Gol gol and maintaining moderate speed about 5 hours, full speed feeling taking about 2 hours.

‘To the sea took about 10 hours.’

If resting in the middle time increases more.

If really leisure many, and if family wanting to go then seeming able to plan dungeon tour once.

“Ate this?”

“Ate right before coming. Fine.”

“Unable to trust oppa’s fine. Even extremely delicious said not bad.”

“So?”

Nowadays only eating too delicious things so taste becoming picky seeming.

“Anyway oppa saying fine so fine expecting a bit.”

“Delicious!”

Ara fiercely nodding and reacting.

But Ara’s reaction hard to believe in another meaning so Seona wearing troubled smile.

“Ara... eats anything well so pretty.”

“Yeah!”

Taking out the large capacity cooking tools left in the warehouse first. Cooking tools’ kinds extremely various but thanks to Ara Hongryeon side packing without gaps nothing missing.

“Able to eat to heart’s content, Ara.”

“Ooo!”

Two bamboo shoots that felt tantalizing to Ara.

But now able to steam dozens at once.

“Gyuseong, bamboo shoot fine grilling too.”

“A, not necessarily steaming?”

“Mom will grill, you fine steaming.”

Immediately accepting mother’s words of helping and steaming the bamboo shoot. Steaming just simply putting in the steamer fine so not hard but grilling taking a bit time.

“Have to peel all the skin.”

When grilling have to remove the bamboo shoot’s skin first. Ultimately family gathering warmly and starting to peel the skin.

-Heheng.

“Ooh, doing well.”

Ara and kkumuri also starting to peel the bamboo shoot skin beside. Ara awkward hand movements but peeling the skin refreshingly with powerful physical ability, kkumuri strength weak but peeling step by step with delicate hand movements.

The bamboo shoot with skin removed mother immediately grilling. Saying good seasoning the bamboo shoot and saying seasoning sauce...

“Only salt, sugar.”

“Aigo.”

Unavoidably only slightly putting salt.

Gradually the empty place of doenjang or gochujang, soy sauce enlarging seeming prepare even ready-made products?

‘Still if enduring a bit...’

Unnecessarily pride activating even without reason to endure.

“Come to think of it last time failed making tofu?”

“Yes. Harder than thought.”

“Next let’s do together with mom. Mom also never directly made tofu but if doing will fine.”

“If helping grateful.”

Rather than grilling completely stir-frying the bamboo shoots and ripening soon deep smell starting to blow. From peeling the skin fragrant grass scent vibrating now appetizing scent added.

“End!”

Seona proudly shouting looking at all the peeled bamboo shoots. The ones put to eat for now all peeled appearance.

“Smell good?”

“Uh. Taste also not bad.”

Just in time mother moving the fully stir-fried bamboo shoots to the bowl. The bamboo shoots put in the steamer still taking a bit time so immediately tasting from the stir-fried.

“Wow.”

Ara looking at the piled bamboo shoots and drooling. And trembling with expectation full expression.

“Fine eating!”

“Yeah, let’s eat. Mom also stop grilling now and eat a bit. I will do.”

I already ate and came so fine. Have to put only one in mouth and go.

Picking one bamboo shoot and biting as is. Just stir-fried so a bit hot but blowing breath and cooling the heat and slowly chewing.

Crunch!

“Um!”

This another feeling. More fresh feeling than steamed. Anyway seeming because harder texture.

‘Even only putting salt this delicious?’

Listening to mother’s words bamboo shoot dish originally seasoning the life. Ingredient well absorbing no matter what seasoning so feeling of eating with seasoning taste rather than the bamboo shoot itself’s taste.

But the bamboo shoot slightly seasoned with salt also extremely delicious. Seeming originally bamboo shoot such taste but soon listening to parents’ words coming seeming not that.

“Wow, first time such delicious bamboo shoot?”

“Right. This completely different species seeming.”

Me and Seona memory of eating bamboo shoot dish, said ate when young but not remembering, none so thought originally such but seeming not.

Everyone delicious so mood good for no reason so next time when going to confirm the polygonum’s state deciding to harvest again.

Chomp chomp!

Beside family Ara diligently eating as if resolving the regret unable to eat to heart’s content earlier yet even taking care of the slimes and kkumuri gathered before I knew it.

“Eat a lot!”

-Heheng.

Kkumuri~!

While diligently stir-frying the bamboo shoots again before I knew it the bamboo shoots put in the steamer also completed. Appearances of blowing ho ho and tearing the skin of the steamed bamboo shoots pouring in large amount visible.

“This also delicacy in its way.”

“Oh my, this texture really unique. I like this more.”

“Mom, I also like this more. Not seasoned so bland but dipping a bit salt much more delicious?”

Addictive texture though.

Like that holding bamboo shoot party father first patting belly and withdrawing.

“Haa, good.”

“How? Worth sending to Jaeseong?”

“Of course. Not ate bamboo shoot a lot but this time the most delicious.”

Prepared the bamboo shoot and bamboo to send to Jaeseong separately too. In the meantime our younger sister who filled belly firmly approaching me.

“Oppa.”

“Uh.”

“Thought?”

“A, Steel Blood?”

Thought. But still unable to give definite answer.

“For now depending on the contract content but if short term or one-time seeming fine. Ara also seeming liking.”

“Then sending mail reply?!”

“No, before that confirm representative Baek’s contact. Probably contact came about now.”

“A, right. Said knowing representative Baek Taeseop’s contact. But that real?”

Seona who was tilting head soon saying as if unable to understand.

“What?”

“Still not believing. Knowing no less representative Baek Taeseop’s personal contact that seeming words?”

“That that hard to believe matter?”

“...”

Seona seeming lost words at my blunt reaction.

Well, hard to believe also? If saying personally contacting the representative of our country’s 2nd guild, no even seeing as company 2nd place definitely...

‘Absurd though.’

Became so naturally so not feeling real but actually Seona reacting like that fully felt.

Anyway about now contact already seeming came.

Don’t know if made wait for no reason.

“I briefly go out and only confirm if contact came and come.”

“Yeah.”
