Episode 914
Jin Cheon-hee’s Alley Gaekjan
This is the story after Baekrin Gaekjan has become successful and the dumpling competition has ended.
When Jin Cheon-hee’s dry-aged meat dumplings were making their reputation known all over the world.
Master Zhuge Lin called his student Jin Tianxi and had a conversation.
In Zhuge Lin’s office, which has a faint scent of sandalwood, Jin Cheon-hee is concentrating on her teacher’s words.
“Heeya. “I had a dream a few days ago.”
“A dream?”
“okay. “It was quite a long time ago.”
For the teacher, something that happened a long time ago usually meant when he was young.
A time when his family was destroyed and he had to run away from those who wanted to eradicate the Zhuge family’s blood relatives to their roots.
Young Zegalin wandered the frozen land in the middle of winter.
In the summer, not only people but also animals had to wander and be on guard.
If you are a strong person, you can catch a bear and a tiger, but that only happens when you are sober. No matter how expert you are, if you are attacked while you are sleeping, there is no answer for you.
Is that all?
There are countless cases of people falling down and not being able to get up after being bitten by a poisonous snake or an unknown ant.
To prevent this even a little bit, we set up a tent, wrap ourselves in blankets, and sleep, but it’s not easy to do it all by ourselves.
‘That’s why even strong people rarely sleep alone in the mountains.’
Jin Cheon-hee herself has Noe-jin and Hwang-gu, so she trusts them and goes to sleep, but usually she tries to sleep in a proper guest room, even if it means using light techniques.
Moreover, since Master was a fugitive, it would not have been easy to light a bonfire.
“No wonder the winter that year was so cold. Record-breaking cold filled the mountains and rivers, and it had been almost 10 days since I had eaten anything properly. “Byeokgokdan had already run out.”
In the meantime, even a strong person would have starved to death since he was walking and straining his body.
Especially when it comes to the body of a child.
“Even if you try to hunt, it’s hard to find wild animals that day. Perhaps because of the record-breaking cold weather, not everyone came out of the nest. “There wasn’t even a common deer to be seen, let alone a rabbit.”
To be honest, I had no appetite.
Even though I knew that I had to eat to survive, I thought it was meaningless because whatever I ate tasted like sand.
Byeokgokdan is more convenient, but you have to go down to the village to get it.
Jin Cheon-hee, a modern person, recalled severe depression.
When you watch TV or the Internet, children always seem bright, running around, and happy.
Even when I’m alone, I’m playing with robots.
In reality, of course, even young children suffer from depression.
In particular, living a life cut off from the outside world with all of your family and friends dead and your life threatened cannot be good for your mental health.
It’s to the point where it’s acceptable if you don’t commit suicide.
“Then I reached my limit and lost my mind. Hehe, at that time, I thought I was just going to die. Heeya. Can you believe it? “This teacher once did that.”
“….”
The man in front of me was someone who could split the sky.
It was also an unimaginable story to those who knew only the fact that he became a bloodthirsty man after that.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“yes. “Everyone has times when they feel weak.”
Jin Cheon-hee herself was like that.
“That’s strange. When I talk to you, sometimes… yeah. “No.”
What was Master trying to say?
He swallowed a word in his mouth and continued speaking again.
“After that, as expected, he was alive. “Whether it was luck or misfortune, someone saved me.”
“Where did you wake up?”
“A corner of the kitchen. It was also lying in the kitchen of a shabby restaurant. “It was a place with a pretty nice scent.”
And it is said that a middle-aged man who seemed quite old and stubborn looked at Jegalin and said,
-You’re awake. Come here and have a bite.
The teacher said he didn’t say anything special.
They just served a noodle dish with a light-tasting broth.
however.
Jegalin said he could never forget that favor for the rest of his life.
Not just for saving my life, but for the warm soup that was served to me at that time.
Even though I knew at first glance that the child was a strong man with a special situation, I saved him.
And I couldn’t resist the smell of the food being handed to me.
In the end, Master emptied the entire bowl on the spot.
“Strangely enough, the soup didn’t taste like sand. So, yeah. ‘It’s something you can eat.’”
Master is a very picky eater.
If you want to force yourself to eat something you can’t eat, eat Byeokgokdan, which tastes like real sand.
It was like that even when I was young.
So even before his family was destroyed, he was called an unlucky kid.
Still, there was a lot to eat at the time, but after the blood death, the ‘things I could eat’ became even smaller. It was probably due to psychological effects.
When the teacher emptied one bowl, the middle-aged man handed him another bowl.
After emptying the two bowls on the spot, the middle-aged man said.
-If you have nowhere to go, you can stay here. If I just wash the dishes, it will pay for the meal.
It was a small restaurant.
Still, there were quite a few customers.
Nevertheless, the middle-aged man seemed to be running the restaurant alone.
It was said that its warmth was so sparkling that it was more enticing than any gold or silver treasure in the world.
“What if Murimjibo and that dilapidated guesthouse? “If I had to choose between the two, I would have chosen that guest cup.”
Master closed his eyes.
I want to be here.
I want to rest here.
It wasn’t unreasonable to feel that way. Zhugelin, who was young, pushed away the favor.
-Thank you for your help. This grace. I will pay you back later.
It’s like an open-air hot spring.
The deeper you dive into hot water, the colder it will feel outside.
If that happens, you will continue to be lazy day after day.
If the pursuers reach this place, the righteous person in front of them will be in trouble.
The boy had already seen the village burning.
He knew that wherever he went there was nothing but blood.
‘Before the blood on my hands stains this place.’
That’s why Jegalin deliberately left the small restaurant in a cold manner.
Still, that warmth remained and kept the boy alive for a long time.
“The taste… was okay.”
“…!”
‘Master, you are merciless in evaluating the taste of your benefactor’s food.’
Even while thinking that, Jin Cheonhee smiled brightly.
“It’s a funny story. Surely… such a favor must be repaid.”
“I remembered it after you set the white phosphorus cup.”
Although the Xuanyuan Zhendan New Technique created absolute memory, recalling that memory was a separate area.
‘I usually go crazy when memories of old, trivial things keep coming back to me at random even when I don’t want to.’
Perhaps that is why Hyeonwonjeondanshingong is quite strict in this area.
Just like a storage folder on your computer, you are the one who pulls it out.
That’s why I finally remembered it.
“okay. Well, now that you remember, I guess I can go repay the favor.”
“I already looked for it. The business continues in the same place as before. “But recently, I found out that my benefactor’s store wasn’t very good.”
“Was there anything wrong with the store?”
“The benefactor was old and lay down to preserve his position due to old age, and his son took over the restaurant… but it was going bankrupt.”
Jin Cheonhee clenched her fists.
“Did Sapa use violence to force people to pay rent? Or has a competitor interfered? “I’ll go right away and take care of it…”
Even if it’s like this, isn’t it the governor?
If you use your power somewhere else, Gold & Silver will come to collect it like a credit card payment, but that’s not the problem.
Isn’t he Master’s benefactor?
“just. “It didn’t taste good.”
“ah…!”
It’s tasteless. So it’s ruining.
It was a simple reason.
“uh? By the way, Master, have you been there in person?”
“It did. It was one of the least delicious dishes I’ve ever eaten. “It was incomparable to the dish my benefactor made.”
I think he even compared the taste to the dishes he ate when he was young.
But didn’t you say that your benefactor’s cooking was ‘okay’?
‘If it can’t be compared to that, then to what extent?’
Jin Cheon-hee clicked the bean pod button towards the teacher.
‘Hyeonwonjeondansingong, which even remembers the taste, is amazing!’
“….”
Master continued.
“That wasn’t all. After researching the surrounding reputation, I found out that it was so bad that customers didn’t go there. “It is said that the skill is not much better than that of my previous mentor, my benefactor…. That is why my benefactor was really worried.”
It looks like you’ve already met your benefactor.
Jin Cheon-hee was surprised by the very quick decision.
Indeed, Master!
Fast as lightning!
‘Anyway, by Master’s standards, it was so-so… In general, it was delicious. ‘I guess you saw that your predecessor was a very good cook?’
Even if you go to a well-known restaurant, Master.
‘It’s such terrible food. I don’t understand how you can eat something like this and not get an upset stomach. okay. He even muttered, ‘The human stomach may be stronger than you think.’
Unless you have the skills of an imperial master, you won’t hear Zhuge Lin say that it’s delicious.
By the teacher’s standards, Baekrin Gaekjan’s food was evaluated as quite edible…
There is a reason why Baekrin Gaekjan is doing well.
anyway.
It was just like that.
That means it’s quite edible, just below the level.
in other words. It can be said that it is at a level where you can hear the sounds of a good restaurant.
However, since he said that the current place run by the son of his previous master was the worst of the worst…
it was clear that his cooking skills were not that good.
“He came to treat his benefactor’s illness, but he continued to worry.”
“Oh, I see.”
Parents’ feelings are the same.
I even told him everything because his children were going to ruin the guest house that had been in operation for a long time.
“But that doesn’t mean you have the stamina to continue running the store. Even if you run the store temporarily, if your son takes over the store later, won’t it eventually go out of business?”
“That’s right.”
‘So what is the end of this story? ‘I’m not sure what Master wants to say…’
Jin Cheon-hee was listening while thinking that.
Zhuge Lin, who was looking at Jin Cheonhee blankly, opened his mouth.
“Heeya.”
“yes. “Master.”
“I think it would be a good idea for you to go and improve your son’s cooking skills. request.”
I see!
‘Was this a build-up to bring up this story?’
Now that I think about it, it’s actually better that way.
In this situation, using power or connections is of no use.
It just doesn’t taste good anyway!
‘If you’re worried about your son’s cooking skills, you can improve them. That can be said to be the best form of gratitude. After all, you are a teacher.’
With this, you don’t have to swipe Hwangsang’s ‘credit card’.
“That’s a good idea. “In order to resolve the concerns of that benefactor, the right way is to do something about his son.”
“yes.”
When the Master nodded, Chen Tianxi’s eyes sparkled.
“great. Master. This disciple is confident in his cooking! “Even if I’m not the best master in the world, I’m confident that I’m at least one of the top ten masters in the world!”
“Oh, you seem confident?”
“You won the dumpling competition last time, right? “The dumplings that won the imperial cooking contest!”
Wow!
Jin Cheon-hee was so excited that he raised his fist.
He is a professor.
I was confident in teaching.
cooking? I have already beaten the best dumpling maker in the world.
So, how meaningful would it be if, as a disciple, you repay the kindness of your teacher?
The benevolence of teachers and predecessors has been passed down to their students and sons!
‘This scene was always the best in martial arts novels. Wow, I guess I’ll try that.’
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“The world’s ten greatest masters! “This Baeklin Uigak incineration liquor, Jin Cheon-hee, will show you a feast of true taste!”
Looking at Jin Tianxi like that, Zhuge Lin sighs for a moment.
“Heeya. I asked you to do this, but I can’t help but say this. “You are a member of the National Assembly.”
What are the ten great masters of the world?
But Jin Cheon-hee wasn’t listening.
Because I was busy talking and making plans.
And Yuho clicked his tongue as he looked at the two.
“A real dog…”
The afterword became so faint that even Gossoo could not be heard.
“Oh, let me borrow Yuho.”
The teacher spoke casually, as if to say, ‘It’s dangerous outside the village, so take this Pokemon with you.’
“Thank you! Yuho! Please take care of me!”
