Episode 121 harvesting pineapples
“Is it cooked?”
Sejun stabbed the steaming sweet potatoes and potatoes with chopsticks.
Deep.
Chopsticks that go in smoothly without any resistance.
“It’s done.”
Sejun removed the pot from the brazier and took out the sweet potatoes and potatoes to cool.
And while the sweet potatoes and potatoes were cooling, I checked the grilled fish for Theo and the grilled purple locust meat for Kueng and placed them in a bowl.
Iona’s fried peanuts were already roasted and spread out on a wide plate to let off the moisture.
At that time
, Kueng! Kueng!
Kueng came up from the cave carrying a huge fish. Brother Theo! I caught a big fish!
After hearing that Sejun was having a party, Flame brought a huge fish from the dimensional sea and had Kueng catch it.
“It’s tuna!”
Theo was excited when he saw the 20m-sized giant fish that Kuengi had brought.
“Chairman Park! When does the party start?!”
Tae-o, who was anxious about the tuna, trembled his feet and urged Se-jun.
“Wait for Boss Te. And you need time to grill the tuna anyway.”
“Okay! Kueng, quickly grill the tuna!”
Kueng?
[How do you grill it?]
Kueng tried to grill the tuna by moving it around, which was bigger than the brazier.
But
“That’s not it!”
In the eyes of Theo, a grilled fish lover, it was too clumsy.
“Iona, please help me!”
“Pfft. How can I help you?”
Iona, who was happy looking at the fried peanuts, asked in a bright voice.
“Please make a fire!”
“Pfft. That’s easy. The power of fire. Burn everything at my command! “The Blaze of Incineration!”
At Theo’s request, Iona happily made a fire. A very large and hot fire.
“That’s not the fire! Are you planning to burn all my grilled tuna?!”
Theo was horrified by the fire that Iona had made and shouted. It felt like his tuna would turn to ashes if it even lightly touched the fire.
“T-you should have said something then.”
As Theo’s voice became louder, Iona’s mood worsened, but Theo was a precious person who gave her a good night’s sleep. Iona showed patience and endured it. The opponent was Theo, so she was patient.
If it had been another being like this, Iona would have fired Hellfire right away. “Is that
okay?”
Iona held back and lowered the temperature of the fire in accordance with Theo’s request.
But,
“Reduce the size of the fire in the lower and slightly upper part!”
“Kke-about this much?”
“No! Make the middle part bigger!”
Theo’s demands were endless, and Iona’s patience began to run out.
“Are you done?”
Stage 2 of Anger. Iona’s anger gauge gradually increased. Theo As if he didn’t know that the danger of losing his life was approaching, he was busy ordering various things to Iona.
“I reduced it too much this time!”
“Kyu-Kyu-Kyu-It’s too tricky.”
When Iona’s patience was almost at its limit in response to Theo’s request,
“That’s enough!”
Fortunately, the shape and temperature of the fire reached Theo’s desired state.
“Queng, put the tuna in the fire!”
Kueng!
Kueng at Theo’s instructions. When Lee put the tuna in the fire, the shape of the tuna and the fire matched exactly. It would have been easier if he had asked to match the shape of the tuna earlier.
“Now just wait two hours and it’s done!”
While Theo was waiting for the grilled tuna to be completed,
“Kkeun-kkeun.” -“
Iona wrapped Theo’s tail around her and found peace of mind.
“Guys, let’s get the party started!”
While Theo bickered with Iona and grilled tuna, Sejun steamed songpyeon and finished setting up the food.
“Mean meow! Chairman Park, let’s get up there quickly!”
Theo excitedly grabbed Sejun’s legs and led him over the body of the well-cooked grilled tuna.
“wait for a sec.”
There was work to do first. Sejun took two separate bowls containing songpyeon to the dragons.
“Kaiser, Kelion, try some of this. It’s a food called songpyeon.”
In this way, Sejun personally brings food to the dragons and serves it to them, which makes the dragons feel better and allows other animals to eat comfortably as well.
– Hmm. Should I try it?
-The name is Songpyeon?
Kaiser and Kelion asked with voices full of anticipation.
“Yes. Inside is sweet potato filling mixed with potatoes and honey…”
While Sejun was explaining, he
was buzzing.
After hearing that there were sweet potatoes, Kaiser and Kelion poured songpyeon into the mouth of the dragon statue.
And
-……
-……
The two dragon statues became quiet. It seemed like he was busy trying songpyeon.
“Then enjoy your meal.”
When Sejun greeted the two dragon statues and returned to his seat, he said,
“Chairman Park, here you go!”
Bang! Bang!
Unable to resist, Theo climbed onto the grilled tuna first, patted the body of the tuna and called out to Sejun.
“okay.”
Sejun put his food in a bowl and climbed onto the grilled tuna. Meanwhile, the rabbits were sitting down waiting for Sejun to eat their food.
“let’s eat.”
As Sejun spoke, the animals began eating food.
“Chairman Park, please pick Chuur quickly!”
Theo, lying down on Sejun’s lap, looked at Sejun and spoke confidently. It was natural that he was confident.
Because
‘I am the star of this party!’
It was clearly a party to celebrate the completion of Sejun’s job quest, but at some point, in Theo’s mind, this party became something he was throwing for himself.
Why throw a party? I don’t know, but that doesn’t matter! All you need is Sejun’s knee, Churu, and a big fish.
Boouk.
Sejun opened the bag of cheesecake and
squeezed it for Theo to eat.
Theo begins to eat eagerly.
And
gnaw.
“Pfft.”
Iona also snuggled into Theo’s tail, grabbed the roasted peanuts she had prepared in advance with both hands, and started nibbling on them.
Mew mul mul.
Sejun also ate the songpyeon he made.
“It’s sweet potatoes.”
The first one I tried was Songpyeong, which was made with sweet potato filling. The sticky dough and soft sweet potato mixed together the more you chewed, giving it a chewy and soft texture.
In addition, at first, there was only the sweetness of sweet potatoes, but from the middle, the sweetness of rice supported the sweetness of sweet potatoes, and when you got used to the taste of sweet potatoes, it gave you a different flavor variation.
gulp.
So I ate one songpyeon and listened to the next songpyeon.
Mew mul mul.
This time, songpyeon is made with filling mixed with potatoes and honey. The texture was similar, but the density of sweetness was different.
If songpyeon with sweet potatoes was a drizzle that slowly got wet, songpyeon mixed with potatoes and honey was a strong pouring shower. Everything was swept away and mixed by the shower.
The sweetness of the rice was swept away by the sweetness of the honey and I couldn’t tell the difference. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t tasty. The heaviness of honey absorbs other sweet flavors like gravity, creating a three-dimensional taste.
“As expected, it’s sweet.”
When Sejun happily picked up and ate about 10 songpyeon, he asked,
“But where did Kueng go?”
Sejun looked around and looked for Kueng. Kuengi, the master of food on the 99th floor of the tower, was nowhere to be seen where people ate.
“Kkueng!”
When Sejun called Kueng,
Kueng…
Kueng’s voice could be heard faintly from below. With a small vibration.
“Huh? Kuengah!”
When Sejun calls Kkueng again,
it’s a disaster.
The tuna opened its mouth and a sound came out. It was Kueng who was eagerly eating grilled tuna from the inside out. A golden bat was sitting on Kuengyi’s forehead, glowing.
“you?!”
Sejun hurriedly looked at Theo.
Cheap chook chok.
Theo was still eating the tuna, so he didn’t know that Kueng had touched his tuna.
‘thank god.’
“Kueng, eat songpyeon now.”
Kueng!
Kueng responded cheerfully to Sejun’s words and went to the table where songpyeon was piled up and started eating the songpyeon.
And
jjongjjong.
The golden bat was seen holding the cherry tomato that Sejun had placed on the songpyeon as a decoration and sucking the juice.
“Ah…”
Sejun realized that he had prepared nothing for the golden bat at the party.
‘Is there anything the golden bat might like?’
Sejun was troubled.
And
“Ah!”
A fruit that suddenly comes to mind. There was a pineapple brought from the 75th floor of the tower. Watching him eat cherry tomatoes, I was convinced that he would also like the sweet and sour juice of pineapple.
“wait for a sec.”
“Nyan?”
“What?”
Sejun hung Theo and Iona on his legs and hurried to the field where he had planted pineapples.
“Oh! You’ve grown quite big.”
Even though Sejun did not pay much attention to the pineapple, the top of the pineapple took root and grew well, producing fist-sized pineapples one by one.
Sejun stroked each pineapple one by one, appreciating its uniqueness.
[Farmer’s Touch Lv. 2 is activated.]
[The pineapple grows a little faster while touched.]
Then, I looked into which pineapple to pick. While stroking the pineapples one by one,
Chuck.
When Sejun touches it
[Farmer’s Touch Lv. 3 is activated.]
[The screaming pineapple grows slightly faster when touched.]
There was a pineapple with a different name.
“Screaming pineapple?”
Emergence of new varieties. However, the name was too ominous to just harvest.
“Guys, please support me.”
“Chairman Park, just trust me!”
“Beep. Leave it to me!”
When Sejun asked for help, Theo and Iona shouted loudly and prepared to protect Sejun.
and
“Now cut.”
Sejun gave a signal to Theo and Iona.
And
suddenly.
I held the top of the pineapple as if holding it by the hair and cut the stem connected to the fruit with a dagger.
[You have harvested an unripe, screaming pineapple.]
[Job experience increases very slightly.]
[Harvest Lv. The skill level of 6 increases very slightly.]
[30 experience points have been obtained.]
“…Whew.”
Fortunately, nothing happened, perhaps because it was not yet ripe.
‘It’ll still taste good even if it’s undercooked, right?’
When Sejun thinks about whether the golden bat will enjoy eating the unripe pineapple,
he wonders.
The middle of the screaming pineapple split open like a mouth.
“uh?!”
“It’s dangerous!”
Hearing the unusual magical power felt from the pineapple, Theo hurriedly hugged the back of Sejun’s head with his front paws, covered his ears, and shouted,
“Shield!”
Iona hurriedly used shield magic on Sejun’s body.
Coming
soon !
A shrill, magical scream was heard from the pineapple.
Phew.
All I could do was scream and the wind picked up, creating a light dust storm. It was fortunate. If it weren’t for the two’s protection, my ears could have gone deaf or my insides could have been crushed by the attack.
“Chairman Park would have grown up without me!”
“Pfft.”
Theo was flattered as usual, and Iona smiled meaningfully.
At that time
, [You have achieved the achievement of creating a new variety in the tower.]
[The tower grants you exclusive cultivation rights for the new variety.]
[Screaming pineapples cannot be cultivated without your permission.]
[Job experience It rises slightly.]
[Harvest Lv. The skill level of 6 increases significantly.]
An achievement message appeared saying that a new breed was obtained.
“But what was that scream earlier?”
Sejun checked the half-split pineapple.
[Screaming Pineapple]
The pineapple grown inside the tower is nutritious and delicious.
When harvested, the magical power accumulated in the pineapple explodes, the side of the pineapple splits, and a shock wave containing magical energy is released along with a scream-like sound.
Harvesting while still unripe significantly reduced the intensity of the shock wave.
Grower: Top Farmer Park Se-jun
Expiration date: 30 days
Grade: C-
“This means the shock wave intensity has decreased significantly?!”
I didn’t know that I would have to risk my life to harvest something that was properly ripe.
“Now, even crops…”
The number of things people had to risk their lives for was increasing.
Sejun mutters and
pretends to go to Golden Park Joo with a pineapple.
“Cheer up, President Park.”
Theo rested his chin on the top of Sejun’s head and stroked Sejun’s head with his front paws to comfort him.
And
Bat Bat.
(Thank you, Sejun! It’s sour and delicious!)
Fortunately, the golden bat likes the juice from unripe pineapples, so the golden bat was very happy.
