Have a Meal Before You Go

On a hot summer day, the unlikely cold reigned all over the place.

At that time, I realized that I was reminded of a hot summer day again.

So in winter, I want something really hot. Maybe it's some sort of regression instinct that reminds me of the summer days that passed.

Oh, of course, unlike the old Earth, the present Earth is very early in winter.

It wouldn't have been so cold in the early winter, but now it was like the middle of winter. There is a harsh wind and ice where the water flows.

Cheolho smiles as he walks in the cold distance.

Oddly, home smells like home. There are smells like that, and the first thing I remember is the smell of sweet potatoes.

Where does it come from?

I saw a young man selling sweet potatoes at the market entrance.

.

“Two for one, five for two. ”

The young man exclaimed. Chulho tilted his head, looking at the young man's face. You must have seen him somewhere.

Chulho, who was thinking for a moment, said.

“You're a student at Cipher School, right? ”

“What?”

There's a green light over there, too.

“Oh, right. It's been a long time, boss. Haha. ”

The young man's name is Im Hyuk-jun.

Previously, I was a student at the Cipher School who had fallen into the Han River and fainted because Tangerine had drowned.

At that time, the young man who was in the fifth grade was fortunately successful in growing to the fourth grade.

“Hmm?"

Next to the sweet potato jar on the bench in the square, two kids were sitting there eating sweet potatoes.

One of them was tangerine. And the other is Eun Joo's pizza place, a friend of Tangerine.

Tangerines were cutting sweet potatoes with their skins covered in charcoal. Eun Joo is peeling hard next to him.

In front of the bench was a hearth, which looks pretty warm. It seems that Im Hyuk-jun took it to use when he rested.

“Hah...... I hope my child wasn't in the way. ”

“No, no. I was bored to be alone, but the babies come and have fun. ”

Im Hyuk-jun smiled.

“But I thought I was a student a few months ago..."

“Ah, yes, I am. They sell this for miles and people watching. ”

“Oh.”

“At the end of this quarter, I will join Magchang's team. ”

His dream seemed to have come true.

Suddenly he rebelled.

“But at the same time, I received a scout proposal from a secret organization at Cipher School. ”

“A secret society? ”

Hyuk-jun gave a serious nod.

“It's called Love Love Project...... Oops! I told him it was a secret. ”

It's an organization created by Magazine and Gearwalk. Chulho had early seen the myth of 'Gentleman and Flower Sequins’ created by their organization.

Anyway, the two first-class Awakeners were already looking forward to how they would affect this naive young man.

“Let's pretend you didn't hear that. Congratulations."

“Well, thank you. ”

“Five for two, right? ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

Hyuk-jun Lim said quietly.

“Well, give me 20 bucks. ”

“Yes?”

He is slightly startled and shakes his head.

“You don't have to sell it. I'm going to donate money to the orphanage anyway. ”

Chulho grins.

“I'm thinking about half of it, half of it for cooking. ”

I remembered the sweet potatoes. Today's menu.

“Well……"

Hyuk-jun thought for a moment and shrugged.

“If that's the case, I'd appreciate it. ”

Drum-

There is a round drum can lying down. There is a chimney at the top of the drum that allows the smoke to escape. It's a tin of sweet potatoes. Thirty years ago, 40 years ago, maybe half a century ago, it was that design.

Somehow, Chulho woke up from his memories, looking at the bag of sweet potatoes.

“Thank you!”

“Good work.”

Cheolho snuck past Im Hyuk-jun and walked to a bench with Tangerine and Eunju.

- Marchant.

- Ugh.

- Tangerine, nice shoes.

- Keep the silver. Positive Silver Ju is Joe Cat.

- Where?

- Joo, do you always have pizza mugs?

Generally speaking, it's about eating.

She ate something so delicious, she ate it yesterday and was amazing, and she wanted something to eat.

Tangerine said she wanted to eat sweet potatoes for the rest of her life because it was so sweet, but somehow she was quite happy to buy a lot of sweet potatoes and smiled satisfactorily.

And the rest of the conversation was mostly about pickle shoes. The two babies were discussing how amazing the new beeps sound, how beautiful the indexes are, and how amazing it is to have ducks painted.

“....... ”

So I decided to let it go for now.

* * *

Maybe some sweet potatoes, something hot like soup. I remember a rich dish of soup that can be eaten safely with one meal without having to eat anything.

So today's menu is stew. I rarely ate when I was in Korea, but I used to eat stew every winter when I was in Espan continent.

This stew must be boiled for a long time before it tastes good.

Even though we are not as deep as the sand, if we boil meat and vegetables for a long time at ~ medium-high heat, the rich flavor of the ingredients will be found in soup water, but it is amazing.

Steel tiger stew is also characterized by a lot of meat.

It was because Cheolho had a theory that people should eat meat, but the meat he prepared was the tenderness of King Finn.

I prepared a lot of relief.

It's a cold day like today, and there's nothing but stew, so I'm going to do a lot of it.

Time is 3: 00 p.m.

Perfect for dinner.

First, slice the Kingpin's tendrils slightly larger than the size of a mouthpiece.

If you add fat-rich meat, it will float on top of soup and taste bad.

Remove grease and sprinkle salt and pepper to set aside.

Then chop two kinds of vegetables.

I intend to use carrots and onions.

The onion of the dog has to be cut very well. I'm going to do something called caramelize for a long time first.

Caramelize is a fun recipe for roasting onions and turning them yellow, which can greatly amplify the sweetness of the onion itself.

Anyway, it heats the pot and wraps the oil around it. Then sauté onions first. I'd like it if you'd fry me long enough.

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

When roasting onions, you must continue to touch them.

If you don't mind just a little bit, press it into the pot and it burns black. When roasted without resting for about 30 to 40 minutes, onions become thin and sweet enough onion juice is produced in the pot.

Place meat and carrots on top and stir fry.

Did you stir-fry them enough?

Then put the flour in and rub it.

If the flour is buried in the ingredients, pour the milk of the Cow Hall over it. I put natural milk and stew powder, but I can produce the effects of the combination of the two wet cowholes.

Stew is usually spicy or has a characteristic flavor with tomato sauce or catchup.

Today's stew, however, is about to taste bland and savory. It's cream stew.

Bring it to a boil for a few hours straight to complete.

You need to keep stirring, but after making it, you'll be proud of Stu.

The spicy and sweet smell of the alluring stew spread to the rice house.

* * *

“Oh, Ms. Grant. ”

Around evening, Gearwalk visited the diner. He sniffs as soon as he comes in.

“What's that smell? ”

“Oh, I put on some cream stew. ”

“Wow, Stu. It's been a really long time. Just give me one plate. ”

“Of course.”

Cheolho lifted up his stew with a big smile.

The stew, which contained a lot of ingredients, itself was enough for a meal. Gearwalk picks up the big meat.

A delicacy that has been boiled in the milk of Cow Hall for a long time. Gearwalk chewed a lot of creamy stew in one mouth.

The saltiness produced by Cow Hall's milk that dug a crevice and the soft feeling of flesh like it was chewed by a peanut. Sweetness, boldness, and finally, the taste of saltiness are subtle.

“Huh-huh.”

Gearwalk laughed as he swallowed meat. The ingredients are already cooked and cut like tofu if you press them with a spoon. If you eat it with soup, you can do nothing.

Back then.

The Ice Witch with a lively face and somehow a slightly more sentimental blade queen arrived.

The Guardians are gathering at the diner today.

The Ice Witch is the guardian of the new village, a girl with a pretty name called Chae Yeon.

“Ms. Grant, I smell good! ”

“You look happy. ”

“Hehe, it's winter. I like winter. ”

Cheolho smiled.

“I'll give you some stew. ”

After a lot of stew, I took out the sweet potatoes I bought today. Very well baked, crumbling sweet potatoes!

Chulho gently peeled the skin of the sweet potato. Then the yellow ripe sweet potatoes reveal their insides.

Milk or sugar or cabbage in sweet potatoes. They all look good together, but few have ever eaten with cream stew.

You can put the seeded sweet potatoes on a plate and eat them like my fondue with cream stew. Or you can eat it like it's covered rice.

“Wow. My God. ”

I was moved by the appearance of sweet potatoes with her mouth wide open.

Then, suddenly, I looked at Yuna, the Blade Queen, and sat down to the end with a giggling smile.

The active gearwalk is silent for some reason.

There seems to be a problem between the two young men.

Chulho reaches out and waits with his breath.

“Been a long time?”

Queen Razor said first. Gearwalk nods dry.

“Oh, yeah. ”

“You haven't been around much lately. ”

“What?”

The same weight was always everywhere, and somehow it became dull.

“Well, well, well. ”

Perhaps there was no unilateral courtship of the gearwalk recently.

“Oh, I put that away. ”

“Huh?"

The Blade Queen's eyes widen.

“Why?”

“Well…"

The gearwalk smashes a spoon into the stew and quietly talks back.

“It's a grievance. They don't like it very much. ”

“....... Well, yes. ”

The blade queen turns her gaze to the plate. And then I lost the conversation.

“I'm sorry for you, too. Well, that's why. ”

“....... ”

The Blade Queen rolls her eyes and pulls the sweet potatoes out of her mouth. After eating sweet potatoes that were hot and fluffy, I felt a little better somehow.

This sinking atmosphere is awkward. However, Chulho did not miss the smile in the corner.

Hoho.

These guys are up to something.

The Blade Queen sat still and emptied a bowl of sweet potatoes and stew very neatly.

And he seemed to be thinking about something.

Beep - Non-

Then, her watch rang. Monsters that can withstand the cold appear in winter these days.

“Snow Ball has appeared. I'll get up first. ”

A snow ball is a class 9 monster. Consider it a giant snowball. They don't make casualties, but they appear in the middle of the road and twist and block, causing a nuisance.

“Oh, yeah. ”

Getaway smiles awkwardly and grumbles.

The Blade Queen turned away with her bills. Just about to leave the restaurant, she turns her head slightly.

“About that. ”

“Huh?"

She thinks for a moment and mutters very little.

“It didn't bother me much. ”

“Huh?"

She turns chic and walks away without answering a word about the Gearwalk.

Bang!

The door is closed.

After a while.

Chae Yeon in the corner chuckled and clenched her fist. Gearwalk smashes into the small fist of his fist.

“Am I right? ”

“Yes, it works. ”

“Of course. That's what the narcos are supposed to do. Trust me."

Chae Yeon grimaced.

“That's right. That's the brain of the Love Project. ”

Gearwalk chuckles.

Chulho stared at them with his eyes narrowed.

“....... ”

Looks like the Secret Organization Love Project has done something else.

Ends
