Episode 1093: Jo
Ro-rok –
Sima Hyeon pours all the tea that Jang Wen-in of the Mosan Sect has boiled into a cup.
The line from the fingertips to the wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, and chin was like the embodiment of etiquette.
In fact, it is impossible to imagine that he is a pseudo-Joongwon cult of unknown origin who spends his money and eats Aame with whipped cream in Joongwon.
It doesn’t even look like a sugar rush, adding cow’s milk to Longjeong tea and testing how many cubes of sugar from the West Continent can fit in one cup.
“The scent of tea is fragrant. “It seems like he fits in well with the Mosan faction.”
“Hehehe, that’s too much praise. Tian Myeon Hori, the fire lord of Jinhyeolbang and the master of Hao Mun, must have tried all the famous teas in the world…”
Sima Xuan took down the teapot with moderation.
“Of course, there are many famous cars in the midfield. However, as an ancient sage said, wouldn’t tea be a living creature in itself? “The taste of tea changes depending on where and with whom you drink it… The tea I drink with Jang Moon-in is the best tea for me.”
“…!”
Jang Moon-in’s face turns red at those words.
“Kuh keuhm!” “He seems like a young man who knows quite a bit about manners.”
“It’s polite. “I’m serious.”
The voice is so pure that it makes the listener blush.
Sima Xuan lowered his eyelashes and put down the teacup in front of Zhang Wenren.
The tea water sloshes around and not a single drop overflows.
‘Indeed, he is the pillar of power and the future…’
Jang Wen-in admires Sima Hyeon’s appearance like that.
‘In the meantime, I heard only bad rumors about Gwangmyeon Hori, no… I only heard bad rumors about Cheonmyeon Hori, but when I actually saw them, they were all lies.’
He treats his superiors with such deference, and his every word makes me feel wise.
How could such a talented person end up in Geumhyeolbang?
Jang Mun-in of the Mosan faction suddenly looks at Jin Cheon-hee with regretful thoughts.
‘On the other hand, that vicious robber only wants to rip me off!’
He didn’t know.
‘….’
The brothers were sharing this message in front of him.
[brother. Maybe it’s because the Mosan sect lives in the mountains, so it’s kind of cute~]
[…Hyuna. I’m starting to get a little scared of you.]
Jang Mun-in said.
“okay. So, what brought you to the main gate?”
Jin Cheon-hee straightened her posture.
“I came here because I wanted to formally hire a writer from the Mosan faction.”
“Hmm, Baeklin’s Pavilion is definitely a bit different from Buddhism or Taoism… From its roots, the color of the world is strong…” “
….”
Jang Mun-in stroked his beard, lost in thought, and then. I opened my mouth.
“Hmm, there are quite a few people in our sect who want to work outside, so arranging them is not difficult. So what are the conditions?”
Jin Cheon-hee’s eyes shine.
“If you don’t mind, I would like to adjust the ‘option’ price a bit.”
He said that and quickly pushed the proposal forward.
A long writer who opened the paper and read it for a while.
“Ayeing…! “This isn’t enough!”
“Uh-huh! If this goes well, it will also benefit the Mosan faction. “Aren’t you well aware that writers lack practical experience compared to warriors?”
The Mosan faction does not participate in the Yongbong branch.
Their only role is to take care of unarmed people and help prevent shock to the audience.
Direct one-on-one meetings were extremely rare.
If you think about it the other way around, it seems that unlike other factions, there are almost no opportunities to experience actual combat.
“Even so, aren’t we too low? “Do you think I don’t know that they are going to take my kids and have them filmed with torpedo bombs?”
‘Tch. ‘He’s like a clever old man.’
He immediately saw through Jin Cheon-hee’s ambition to produce his own torpedo bombs and sell them cheaply.
“Even so, do you know how easy it is to give such an option discount? “Let’s try bouncing the abacus.”
Jin Tianxi took out an abacus from his sleeve and started counting the money.
“No no no there is no need to bounce the abacus! “Because I don’t need it!”
“Look at the money. money!”
The two began fierce negotiations.
Whoop –
Sima Hyeon enjoys the sight.
* * *
“….”
“….”
Two examinations have passed.
They both looked exhausted and were out of breath.
“Whoa, whoa…! “It’s so great of you to push me like this.”
“Huh huh… I don’t think anyone would criticize the bastard raised by Hyeol-rin, Jegeul. He’s so vicious! But this body is responsible for the Mosan faction! “I will never fall for your tricks!”
After fighting for another hour, we finally started to find a compromise.
Jin Cheon-hee moved and pulled one of the abacus beads and said.
“How about this?”
“You… you really are a disgusting person. “It’s different from Hyeolrin… no, it’s ultimately the same in that it doesn’t know how to give up and is vicious.”
After sighing like that, Jang Mun-in said.
“Good!”
“Ahhhh!”
Jin Cheon-hee jumped up and down.
Zhang Wenren of the Mosan faction spoke to Sima Xuan.
“I’m sorry for keeping you sitting like a sack of barley. “I was worried from the beginning that the conversation would be too long.”
“no. It was fun~”
Sima Hyun smiled mischievously.
Zhang Wenren had an apologetic expression on his face, but Sima Xuan was truly happy.
‘It’s been a long time since I felt peace.’
The air in Mosanpa feels clearer and heavier than other places.
Sima Hyeon liked that.
Since I don’t know anything about Taoism or Zen, I can only explain it this way, but it was like that.
This place is full of clear and clear energy with no empty spaces.
You don’t have to worry about assassination, you don’t have to worry about insanity.
I could hear the rain outside.
The wind chimes follow the sound of rain and the sound of water falling on the eaves creates a nice harmony.
In this quiet but full of sound, Sima County feels like ‘vacation’.
‘If I break up with my brother, from then on I will have to be nervous again and develop my Prajna Spiritual Strength.’
But at least for now it’s okay.
It was a rare event in this young man’s life.
A time when you don’t have to worry about dying or thinking about killing.
Money leads to murder even if it is not a crime.
Sima Xuan feels the scent of tea.
‘Actually, it’s a bit of a cheap car.’
I heard that Jang Mun-in of the Mosan faction was an unusually salty person, but it seems to be true.
Still, it was not a lie to say that Jang Moon-in was better than any other car.
‘It’s because my brother is with me.’
Sima Xuan is a liar, but that doesn’t mean he’s someone who tells lies about everything.
Because sometimes there is a lot of truth in it.
Then, Sima Xuan suddenly felt the white dragon in the dantian writhing.
To be exact, he was a prajna practitioner, but since his older brother recited the nine verses based on his own true energy, he seemed to have some resemblance to his older brother.
‘Hmm, the cautious part is also similar.’
From time to time, the magic of Cheonbyeongeommangong is prevented from going to the upper level.
No, these days I feel like I’m trying to play the role of a male boss… Is it just my mood?
‘The experience of moving on your own as if the inner energy of the Danjeon is alive… has been around for a long time, but this is a bit unusual.’
A situation where a great success has been achieved.
What will happen if you reach great success here?
Sima Xuan became curious.
* * *
The next day, the Mosan faction members were able to hear the contents of the discussion with Baekrin Uigak.
“Did you hear? “They say Baeklin’s Pavilion is hiring staff!”
“Hoo, you’re hiring our Taoists?”
“To be exact, they say he is a Taoist who can use magic… I don’t know what level of magic he wants.”
They began to gather in groups of twos and threes at the Mosanpa restaurant.
Foods that contain almost no meat.
However, broth is included.
It is a less strict place than the Shaolin Temple, and I have seen several Buddhist monks who did not eat meat die painfully in their later years, so it is thanks to the old patriarch allowing a little meat to be eaten.
‘But our Mosanpa restaurant is famous for being tasteless.’
I tried inviting a guest from outside and tried changing the ingredients, but there was no sign of it becoming delicious.
In the end, appetite is also one of the carnal desires, so eating these things is part of training to purify the mind.
… to the point where I had to hypnotize myself.
Even if customers ate tea at Mosanpa, they had to go out to eat.
“Sniff huh? “Why does the restaurant smell like this?”
“So, instead of the usual burnt or salty smell, has there ever been a time when you smelled this good?”
“Oh, the taste will be the same!”
Don’t be fooled. You just eat what you used to eat anyway.
Since the fasting period had just ended, it seemed like they had made it their own special meal.
But when you actually try it, you end up disappointed for a day or two.
Everyone thought nothing of it and started talking about Baekrin Uigak.
“I heard that Baekrin Uigak created something called a shaman hall.”
“You’re saying they’re going to create a Ministry of Brain Power and carry out agricultural reform there?”
Some Taoists tilted their heads as they did not understand what he meant.
“It is said that when lightning strikes the ground, intelligence increases and farming becomes better. “If you do it right, the harvest will increase ten times, so why can’t you do it?”
“Ten times? Hey, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, it’s probably twice as much at most.”
“Wouldn’t it be great if it were twice as big?”
The monks receive the bowl and wait for their turn to receive the next meal.
The plump tofu rises in the bowl, exuding a spicy aroma.
“Oh, what about this?”
“Szechuan mapo tofu! The fried rice is over there… Huh? Are you getting mapo tofu first?”
Only then did the monk realize that he had confused the order of strings.
“I’m trying to get food separately.”
“ah. Right. That’s delicious too. Please take the egg mushroom stew and braised tofu over there. “It’s very nice.”
‘The people at our restaurant are famous for cooking tasteless food. ‘Why does it look so delicious?’
It was strange.
The old patriarch allowed meat, but the cooking skills of the later people were different from that.
A side dish of cooled vegetables and a side of tofu.
The people who tell you to sprinkle some soy sauce on it are the ones from the Mosan faction.
The vegetables are so tough that I feel like my teeth will fall out while eating them.
But today, for some reason, the food is so fragrant!
‘Well, it’s probably just the appearance.’
Expectations lead to disappointment.
‘It will definitely taste like sand again. Then, he will also rub his hungry stomach, thinking it is training.’
I could feel that everyone’s expressions were becoming more rigid, perhaps because they felt the same way.
I try to change the subject so as not to get hurt.
“Well… how much does Baekrin’s salary say?”
A fellow Taoist asked.
“May Jang Mun-in negotiate…”
Everyone gathers in groups of twos or threes holding mapo tofu and tofu stewed egg and mushroom stew.
The monks who heard the conditions tilted their heads.
“It’s a good price, but it doesn’t mean it’s particularly higher than other Sega prices.”
“That’s right.”
Everyone looked disappointed.
“….”
To put it bluntly, the Daoists of Moshanpan are expensive.
They were willing to accept money even for writing a talisman.
For them, Baekrin’s conditions are at the upper-middle level.
“Oh, there are more side dishes.”
When the cooks bring out the side dishes, the trainees rush to get them.
Even though I promised myself not to have any expectations, my steps became lighter without me realizing it.
“hmm…? What is this? “It resembles tofu, but has a different shine.”
“They say it’s made from acorns. “It doesn’t seem like local food.”
Sichuan style? Or a new meal out?
Since they are Taoists who have lived their whole lives within the realm of Taoism, they know less about these things than ordinary people.
Amid the sweet and sour scent, the thinly sliced cucumbers look so fresh that you can almost hear their crunching sound just by looking at them.
“Oh, I’m curious about the taste. Plus, this looks like a seasoned dish made with some special spices.”
“Lotus root? “You boil the lotus root like this?”
“Wow, look at the stew here. I added it with mushrooms and boiled it down. “What is it that falls apart fluffyly on chopsticks…?”
“It’s a potato.”
Fortunately, the Mosan sect disciples also knew about potatoes.
Although it is not native, it is grown in the village below, so it sometimes appears in the kitchen.
However, the shape was a little different from the potato that modern people think of.
“potato? “Aren’t the potatoes smaller and more unsightly?”
“To be honest, the taste isn’t that good.”
“I heard that Ilgwang is improving the variety and spreading it here and there. I heard it was made by harvesting all the potatoes in the world, except for the potatoes and the new ones. “If that is true, we have been researching potatoes for over ten years.”
It seems that Il-gwang brought Baekrin Uigaksan potatoes as a gift when he came to Mosanpa.
“You studied potatoes and made it like this?”
The other Daoists also widened their eyes in surprise.
“Isn’t that guy a congressman by profession?”
“He’s a member of the National Assembly, but he’s also Kang Ho-in and governor. “They say they live by doing whatever they can.”
“…Huh, I really envy your talent.”
Adding a few more pieces made it truly extravagant.
“The scent is amazing.”
“Let’s not be fooled. “I think I made a special meal to tell you that my fasting training is over. I don’t want to be disappointed again.”
“That’s right. But aren’t there some types of food that I’ve never seen before?”
Who the hell is in the kitchen? Has a new host arrived?
The monks tilted their heads.
“Anyway, I guess I’ll try eating something in three days. Even if it tastes like sand again, it would be okay if the scent was this good.”
“okay. yes. “Isn’t this alone the effort of the people of the Joryang Party?”
“Anyway, it’s a pity to spend more money on daylight. “Only in this way will the monthly salary be similar to that of other Sega companies.”
While saying that, he picks the stewed potatoes with his chopsticks.
Strangely, it felt good in my hand.
So much so that I could only pick potatoes for the rest of my life.
But it will end there.
The Mosan sect Daoin deliberately gave up his expectations and spoke.
“It’s not a particularly attractive monthly salary, so I’ll ignore it. “I think we’ll be eating the sand-flavored rice from our Mosanpa restaurant for a long time to come.”
“yes. To be honest, I think it’s a bit salty. Baekrin Uigak earns a lot of money and I want to spend more. “Isn’t the Namgung family who is spending money like crazy these days more attractive?”
After answering that, I put a piece of potato into my mouth.
“…!?”
The moment you put food in your mouth.
The monks looked at each other in surprise.
It was normal rice that tasted like sand.
Because that is the meal of Mosan sect believers.
But today was different. It was so different.
Everyone looked at each other without even thinking about swallowing the texture of the potatoes that melted like snow in their mouths.
Shock and surprise!
They simultaneously look towards the kitchen where their new host will be.
“What is this…?!”
Grumble!
A tremendous amount of fire was coming out of the kitchen.
“Ho, did you happen to be under an illusion as a group?”
lately.
Jang Mun-in of the Mosan faction ignored Jin Cheon-hee.
When I first heard Jin Cheon-hee’s conditions, I thought, ‘Why are you going to these conditions? Is there anyone who would go under the vicious Hyeolrin Gwangsal with only this much salary? I would rather go with Namgung Se, who gives me a lot of money.’ With this in mind, I agreed.
If that happens, not a single Daoist will be leaked out, and the Mosan faction will reap the benefits as per the contract!
However, there was something Jang Mun-in forgot… Il-gwang is the cub Jegeul.
All the strong people see him as a crazy person, but if you look at his crazy behavior, it seems like there is a reason for it all.
Little Zhuge doesn’t make moves without reason.
In this world, thoughts change the world.
A foundry’s thoughts can change the world, and a blacksmith’s thoughts can also change the world.
There was a person here who lived as a professor.
He put only one thought into rice.
I hope that you will have many ‘friends’ who will participate in the future of humanity!
“…!”
The martial arts that has reached the state… no, the science of cooking responds, and heaven and earth coexist and give him infinite strength.
Finally.
‘friend.’
Be delicious.
Be delicious…
Moe moe kyun…☆
That thought reached the rice and began to create a feast of flavors.
and.
After all, that was the first meal of the day after fasting.
Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘Yes. I may not be good enough to hold their hearts.’
The heart originally comes from money.
There is a set budget, so if you spend more than that, you may be caught by Muwol, who has let go of the opposite sex.
So it’s something that can’t be helped.
Jin Cheon-hee thought while wiping away the crocodile tears.
‘…But wouldn’t even a country like this be able to hold its tongue?’
Twinkle-
Even Jang Mun-in of the Mosan faction doesn’t know it.
Even the devil cub started crying and going crazy.
