Episode 178 make soju
“Is Ajax doing well?”
After eating breakfast, Sejun checked to see if Ajax was doing what he instructed.
[Currently instructed to Ajax Mambe, the tower farmer of the White Tower]
– Elixir: Plant cherry tomato seeds with powerful magical power (50,000/100,000)
– Elixir: Harvest cherry tomatoes with powerful magical power (3920/2) 18,000)
Planting seeds was a new addition to the tasks instructed to Ajax.
When Sejun realized that there was no use in eating the elixir-grade cherry tomatoes, he saved only some and harvested 3,000 elixir-grade cherry tomatoes to obtain 100,000 seeds.
He then sent the seeds to Ajax using inter-tower transport and instructed them to plant them. Of course, Ajax paid 1 million Top Coins by cash on delivery.
It would be convenient to plant the elixir-grade cherry tomatoes harvested by Ajax right away without this cumbersome process, but that would result in exclusive cultivation rights. Sejun had to give Sejun permission to plant the seeds.
It was a little annoying, but I had no complaints because I was able to secure exclusive cultivation rights.
“You’re doing great.”
Sejun said with a satisfied expression after confirming that Ajax was doing his job properly and not playing around. Looking at the harvest amount, it seemed like I would have to transport it between towers again soon.
Of course, there were no complaints. I wasn’t happy with Ajax’s slow work pace, but since I was following instructions, I couldn’t penalize them and it wasn’t a breach of contract.
I wasn’t going to call him that and say something… Instead, I was thinking of asking Eileen to have a little conversation(?) with Ajax when I get the chance later.
After seeing Ajax working, Sejun headed to the brewery. It was to make a new liquor that had been promised to the Kaiser and give him 10 bottles. Let
‘s get to the brewery
!
Ukki!
The monkeys, who were just about to start work, welcomed Sejun.
“You have stored the finished makgeolli, right?”
Ukki!
In response to Sejun’s question, the monkeys pointed to huge glass bottles containing finished makgeolli.
“good. Pour it here.”
Ukki!
Sejun, with the help of the monkeys, took out a huge pot, filled it with makgeolli, and covered it with a lid.
Yum.
[You have consumed the yellow beans that are full of strength.]
[Strength stat increases by 100% for 1 minute.]
[Strength stat increases by 33.]
Cluck. Cluck.
Sejun ate the yellow beans and used the strength he gained to press down tightly with his hand on the part where the pot and the lid were connected, sealing it to prevent steam from building up.
And
poof.
A hole was drilled in the center of the lid and a U-shaped tube was connected. Kueng made the tube by stretching the back of the fire ant to a point where it would not tear and then rolling it as thin as possible.
When making this, Sejun asked for a lot of details, so in the process of calming down the irritated Kuengi, 10 bottles of honey went into Kuengi’s snack bag.
After inserting the tube into the lid of the pot and filling the gap with rice dough, Sejun placed the pot on the brazier and began to boil it. The fire was made strong at first and then reduced to low after the sound of boiling was heard.
After some time passed,
knock, knock.
Liquid began to fall drop by drop from the end of the tube, and a strong scent of alcohol spread around the area. Sejun was distilling alcohol and making soju.
Sniff sniff
kueng!
[Big brother, you smell like an adult!]
Kueng, who was playing with Theo at the entrance to the brewery, strongly sucked in the smell with his nose and said. Theo was playing with Kuengi, who couldn’t go into the brewery.
Of course, it wasn’t Theo’s will, and Sejun put Theo down at the entrance and went in.
“Like the smell of alcohol?”
Theo said, licking his body.
Kueng! Kueng!
[That’s right! Kuengi wants to try it too!]
Kuengyi responded by licking his own body following his older brother. Although I lost my balance once in a while and fell down.
“Fuhuhuhu. Kkueng is not done yet! “Only adults can drink alcohol!”
Theo answered proudly.
Kueng…
[I’m jealous…]
Kueng looked at Theo enviously and said,
“Fuhuhuhu.” “I’d like to have a drink!”
Theo went into the brewery under Kueng’s gaze, brought out a bottle of alcohol that he usually didn’t drink because it was bitter, and blew on the bottle. At first, I was planning on just showing off the drink and ending it…
Kueng!
[Big brother, I’m jealous! Adults are cool!]
Jump, jump, jump.
I was so excited by Kueng’s admiring gaze that I drank the entire bottle. High-alcohol soju that Sejun just finished distilling.
“Kkeoknyang!” How are you? Fuhehehe. Am I cool?! But the ground is moving! “Stay still!”
Theo, who was very drunk, was angry at the ground and staggered towards Kuengi.
Kueng?
[Big brother, are you okay?]
Kueng asked in a worried voice, looking at Theo who was staggering.
“Fuhuhuhu. Of course it’s okay…”
Theo was not good at drinking or eating well. However, since I drank a bottle of distilled soju in one shot, there was no way it would be okay.
Cheolpudeok.
Theo fell to the floor.
Kyueng!
[Dad, my eldest brother is dead!]
Kueng hurriedly called out to Sejun from the entrance of the brewery.
***
Flutter, flutter.
The white dragon statue flew in front of the black dragon statue.
-What happened when you went to Kelion?
-Found 5 fragments of the Apostle of Destruction.
-what?! five?! Were you a hydra too?
-no. The one who invaded our tower was Violet, the 11th Crystal Giant of Destruction.
-Not only Hydra, but also Violet… The situation is more serious than I thought.
The Apostle of Destruction may have already infiltrated every tower.
-I think it would be a good idea to inform other dragons as well. Violet said so. Their goal is to destroy the tower.
-The destruction of the tower? Why?
Kaiser was puzzled. The existence of the tower has no effect on the battle with the Apostle of Doom. The only beings that can fight the Apostle of Destruction are dragons.
However, although their pride must have been hurt for not being able to protect the tower even if it was destroyed, there was no harm to the dragons at all.
However, the Apostle of Doom was determined to lose his energy, albeit a small one, and was sending fragments to the tower that would have no effect on the battle during the Black Moon.
-I think there is another reason…
Then
– Huh?! What does this smell like?
Kelion turned his gaze to follow the suddenly wafting scent.
-smell?
Kaiser’s black dragon sculpture supported sight and hearing, but not other senses.
-It smells strongly of alcohol. It’s a brewery.
On the other hand, the dragon statue created by Kelion was a vessel to contain his soul, so he paid a lot of attention to it so that he could feel all five senses.
-The smell of alcohol?!
Flutter, flutter.
Kaiser quickly flew to the brewery
– Kaiser, come with me!
Kelion followed suit.
***
“Ugh. “What if I eat all that when I can’t even drink?”
Sejun took Theo, who had fallen asleep after drinking, to the bedroom and laid him on the bed.
“Kueng is watching and calls me if anything happens.”
Kueng! Kueng?
[I understand! “Big brother, you’re not going to die?]
Kueng asked with anxious eyes.
“huh. are you okay. “It will get better over time.”
Sejun answered and headed back to the brewery.
-oh! Sejun!
-What kind of alcohol is this?
When we went to the brewery, Kaiser and Kelion opened a bottle of soju and were drinking.
“That was soju to give to the Kaiser…”
-what?!
Hearing Sejun’s words, Kaiser quickly snatched the bottle of alcohol that Kelion was holding.
-Eight! Shamefully!
-What is so cruel?! Didn’t you hear what our Sejun said?! It’s my soju!
Kaiser answered while holding a bottle of soju. He seemed determined to never give it away.
-Sejun, make soju for me too!
In the end, Kelion asked Sejun to make soju. After drinking a few glasses of soju, Kelion fell in love with the taste.
Soju tasted completely different from makgeolli. Clean, rich and deep taste. If the alcohol content was a little higher, it seemed like it would be a drink that could compete with carrot liquor in the future.
“It’s not difficult to make soju… but the price is…”
-10 bottles of soju and 1 yongah bottle!
One Yongah bottle can be traded for 1000 bottles of makgeolli. However, 1,000 bottles of makgeolli can make 300 bottles of distilled liquor. Decent price. No, it was huge profiteering.
But,
“Hmm… I’ll think about it if it’s 10 bottles of soju and 2 Yongah bottles. Instead, I’ll give you 10 bottles of soju today!”
Sejun was not satisfied and called Dable.
-good night!
Kelion, who wanted to drink soju quickly, immediately provided two Yongah bottles.
“wait a minute.”
Sejun filled a new pot with makgeolli.
“Kellion, please seal this just once.”
This time, instead of eating the yellow beans, I asked Kelion for a favor.
-seal.
Kelion simply sealed the pot, inserted another U-shaped pipe that Kelion had made just in case, and started making soju by repeating the same process.
“Please stay here for a moment.”
Ukki!
Ukki!
Sejun confirmed that the alcohol was distilled properly. We left the brewery to the monkeys and moved to the kitchen.
and
“Warehouse open.”
Cheolkeng
Sejun poured tuna porridge from the large pot that Kueng secretly kept in the subspace warehouse into a small pot and began to heat it on the brazier.
Dadada.
Sejun also added very finely chopped green onions and elixir-grade cherry tomatoes to the tuna fish porridge. This was so that Theo, who only eats grilled fish and churros, would not notice.
Green onions for detoxification are used to detoxify alcohol, and cherry tomatoes, which are like an elixir, are added to protect the body.
“done.”
When Sejun went to the bedroom with the finished tuna porridge, he said,
“Ugh! “My head hurts so much… am I… going to die?”
Theo, who was holding his head, spoke weakly with a frown on his face.
Kyueng!
[Big brother, you must not die!]
Kueng cried and grabbed Theo’s front paw.
“I’m sorry Kueng. “I think I’m done here… When I die, I’ll ask for Chairman Park’s knee…”
The two were taking pictures of new waves.
“That’s a liquor bottle.”
Sejun said and sat down next to Theo.
“I thought it would be a fatal disease!”
You idiot… Theo seemed certain that he was going to die.
“ruler. Eat this quickly! Because that’s how it gets better.”
To prevent Theo from thinking about useless things, Sejun hurriedly scooped up the tuna porridge with a spoon and brought it in front of Theo.
“I have an appetite…?”
Cheap chook chok.
Theo’s tongue moved on its own at the appetizing smell and he eagerly licked the tuna fish porridge. Fortunately, Theo enjoyed the meal, perhaps thanks to the finely chopped green onions and elixir-grade cherry tomatoes.
After a while,
“Fuhuhu! I’m cured! As expected, Chairman Park is amazing!”
Theo, who had detoxified himself from alcohol thanks to the detoxification wave, got up with a lively expression and clung to Sejun’s lap again.
Kueng!
[Thank goodness, big brother!]
Kueng was happy to see Theo healthy. And Kueng vowed that he would never drink alcohol even when he became an adult. If you drink alcohol, you will catch a fatal disease called alcoholism! Theo was a good example for Kuengi.
Sejun, who fixed Theo’s alcohol bottle, made soju again.
The next morning.
“Chairman Park will be back soon!”
Sejun quickly sent Theo down to prevent him from getting into an accident.
And
“Taru, long time no see!”
As if it was obvious, Theo headed to the lost and found warehouse on the 75th floor of the tower.
“Why did you come again?”
Taru spoke as transparently as possible, but was unable to completely hide his joy. Because I was less bored when Theo came.
“What idiot?! Of course I came to draw! “Here are 1000 Top Coins!”
Theo proudly held out the money. Fuhehehe. If you bring something great to Chairman Park, you will be praised!
Theo smiled and entered the lost and found warehouse.
