episode_0072

Ever since Yaohwan came, and ever since Mr. Zhongli’s pacho line was installed, the only guesthouse in Xianhwachon was always crowded with customers at meal times.

It was a guesthouse whose food didn’t usually taste bad, but after Yohwan took over as guest, the taste of the dishes got much better and it was thanks to the effect of the Dharma Treasure.

However, the price did not change, so it was natural that workers who could not soothe their tired bodies from labor with only a meager meal liked it.

No, not just them. Rather than going home after work and asking the wife to cook the meal, the number of people leading her and her children by the hand and heading to the guesthouse has increased.

How many opportunities do rural workers have to taste the cuisine of masters who worked at the imperial palace?

Of course, there was no talk of Yohwan leaving for another place, but everyone knew that opportunities were hard to come by and that once they left, it was impossible to catch them.

Perhaps because of this, the number of family customers has increased considerably in the guest rooms where drinkers would have gathered at night in the past.

Thanks to this, we had to install additional seats.

“Take the tent over there!!”

I saw several times that the number of customers who started to increase came to the entrance and then left disappointed. Therefore, I decided to expand my business further, and to do so, I decided to install additional space in the vacant lot in front of the guest house.

Anyway, this was my land where the goods of the merchant were stored, so there was no problem.

Therefore, preparations were underway to set up a tent and place a few seats in the vacant lot across from the guesthouse.

While the servants and Jeomsoy holding a large tent were whining, Chaejin was seen coming towards us with a long, strong pole.

“Should I leave it here?”

“That’s right. There in the center.”

“Inhale!!”

-thud!!

Is it because of my inner strength? The stick was placed squarely in the center of the clearing. While the servants admired it, Chaejin grabbed the tent and jumped up.

Then, after tying him to a high pole, he came down and grinned.

“Is this enough?”

“Excellent. Thank you for your help.”

“Hehe. What.”

While Chaejin, who smiled sweetly, stepped back, the servants moved. As I was trying to carry the tables and chairs piled up in the guesthouse, I heard a voice from behind.

“Oh my? Are you planning to do business here too?”

It was a voice full of energy. I turned my head and smiled when I saw the gray-haired girl standing there.

“Okay. Did you have a good patrol? But why are you holding that?”

“Hehe. Sister Yuhee will also help. He said he would just write down his diary and come right away.”

It was Sayoon. What she was holding in her hand was the table that was to be set up on this side.

Although she was a delicate-looking girl, she was lightly holding a wooden table, as if to prove that she was a warrior with inner strength.

“Everyone is having a hard time. How about telling them to get some rest? I saw you earlier, you had a hard time making the table… You also have to do business later.”

The servants were looking at Sayoon with eyes full of emotion. I’m sure it will be over quickly if skilled warriors help out.

As she said, we had a hard time making that wooden table and chair.

“Try to get some rest. I told Yohwan to have something to eat.”

“Thank you! Master Nari! Chae Sojeo! Buy Sojeo!”

“What~!”

“I have to work hard later~!”

The servants wipe their sweat and enter the guesthouse. Meanwhile, I also spoke to Chaejin.

“Chae Sojeo, I think you’re getting some rest too.”

“Huh? I’m fine.”

“Still. Didn’t you help me while I was training?”

“Ahaha… It’s okay, though. Then can I ask you a favor?”

“It’s my job, so I’ll do you a favor and go to sleep.”

I shrugged my shoulders and Chaejin approached Sayun. Then he squatted down, made eye contact, and patted her shoulder.

“Can I ask you something later?”

“Please leave it to me!”

“Ahaha. It’s reliable.”

Chaejin smiles and heads to the backyard. And pulling out the sword and lifting it slowly seems to be an attempt to practice Dun.

I’ll have to get the second volume of Understanding Street later and give it to you. Since I gained enlightenment after reading the first volume, wouldn’t it be more helpful if I read the second volume?

“Guest guest! Where should I put this?!”

“Put it here.”

At that time, Yuhee, who had finished writing his journal, was approaching. Just like Sayoon, she was lightly carrying a large table. I told the two girls where to sit and told her where to sit.

“I just need to do it a few more times, so please do me a favor. I’ll repay you when it’s over.”

“A~. Every time we get it, we just get it. Think it’s worth it.”

“Yes! Yes!”

Instead of answering the two energetic girls, I smiled.

Still, I will give it to you.

Preparation was completed by tying a rope to the end of the tent and installing seats underneath it. If it had been just the guests, it would have taken some time, but perhaps because of the help, it was completed faster than expected.

“Are you done?”

“Okay. We can do the rest… It was a lot of hard work. Please wait a moment.”

I took the time to help you, but I can’t just let you go. I smiled at the two who declined several times and brought them into the store.

“Now. Take one each.”

“Huh? This is… a mooncake?”

I saw it before and it seemed like Sayun likes moon cakes. I just asked Noya to make the frame.

The mooncake itself is not that difficult to make as long as you have a mold.

I heard that Yohwan also knows how to make it, so I added it to the snacks sold at the store.

“Wow…”

“After eating, I will take care of things for others, so take them with you when you go.”

“I didn’t ask for this…”

“If an adult gives something to you, just be grateful. You just have to do it and receive it.”

I put mooncakes into the hands of two people who refused.

In the end, the two accepted the moon cake without saying anything and sat down on the long chair in front of the store.

If I just feed you mooncakes, you’ll get thirsty, so I guess I should bring some tea.

After glancing at the two of them sitting on chairs, shaking their legs and chewing on mooncakes, I went inside. When I got in the car and left, Sayoon was the only one present.

“Why are you alone?”

“Ah. Since Sister Yuhee was already out, she decided to go to the market.”

“It would have been nice to have at least some tea.”

“Ahaha. That person gave me something to drink earlier.”

The person on the side that Sayun pointed to was Yohwan.

She was cooling off by holding a fan and shaking it. When she lifted the fan lightly, I shook my head.

Then I got in the car for no reason.

“I will drink it well.”

“There is a car that Yohwan gave you.”

Because Yohwan drives a car better than me.

I pointed to the glass next to Sayoon, but she just smiled.

“I’ll have two drinks! lol. You can’t refuse what the host has given you!”

“Thank you.”

“Huh? Shouldn’t I be thankful?”

“What if someone does it?”

I sat on the edge of the long chair where Sayoon was sitting. A pleasant silence continues for a moment.

Sayun nibbling on the mooncake little by little, and me sipping tea.

It’s the first peaceful time I’ve felt in a long time.

“It reminds me of the time I went to Palseonchon.”

“So?”

“Yes. It was really fun back then.”

Sayoon’s face was filled with happiness as she recalled past memories. It was an unfamiliar face to me, but it was by no means something I didn’t want to see.

“I want to have that experience again next time.”

“Collaboration?”

“Ahahaha… there is that too.”

Filth again. She was fiddling with the half-left mooncake, sipped the tea I gave her, and looked up at the sky with happy eyes.

“It’s just like traveling with someone. I haven’t done that much.”

“You will do it later when you grow up, right?”

As Sayun is also a disciple of Hong Seong-moon, there will come a time when he will be active in martial arts.

Of course not right now. She will appear after she has achieved at least some level of growth. Even if I allow it, Hongseongmun will not allow it.

“Yes. After I develop my skills to a certain extent, I will go to the Murim with other sisters.”

“That’s good. If you go with Hongryeon, you can also visit the Murim Alliance.”

As far as I know, I heard that very few people were able to visit the Murim Alliance during their first martial arts training. However, Hongryeon is also the inspector of the Murim Alliance, and Sayun is a disciple of Geomseong, so it would not be difficult to visit the Murim Alliance.

Sayoon smiled brightly at my words.

“That’s right. I really want to visit the Murim League at least once. Other sister-in-laws also said it was worth a visit at least once. Has the owner of the house been there?”

“No.”

I’ve been to quite a few places in Heavenly Moon.

It was a place almost as big as a city. There is equipment and elixirs that can only be obtained there, so it is a place that people who have experienced Heavenly Moon must visit at least once.

But since I’ve never been here, it’s probably correct to say there isn’t any.

“Then, I would like to take the guest owner with me. Is it okay?”

With sparkling eyes, she looked at me. Because it’s Murim…

“Ah. Well, you must be busy. Because the distance to the Murim League is too far…”

“Well, it’s still in the future, right? At least two or three years will have to pass.”

“Yes, but.”

“The guest house may be closed by then.”

“That’s not possible…”

“Haha. It’s just a matter of later. Don’t think too much about it. Because you can leave your guest room to a trustworthy agent. So look forward to it.”

“I hope so…”

It was then. Sayoon’s mouth was closed. Her eyes were fixed somewhere.

When I looked towards that direction, I saw a worker walking. Thick arms, tanned skin. Dust remaining here and there on the body.

It seemed clear that he had finished his work, but all he could see on his face was joy.

“Dad! dad! Are you eating at the guesthouse today?!”

“Of course. haha. My father saved up his wages to buy it for our daughter.”

They were a poor-looking father and daughter with a large age gap. But they were a happy-looking father and daughter.

Sayoon was watching them silently as the two walked holding hands.

“Looks like that. I think it’s really beautiful.”

I could read the deep envy in his eyes. I stood up while watching her.

“There are many people by your side.”

“…Hehe. That’s right.”

Only then did Sayun take his eyes off them. Then he slowly got up from his seat, looked at me, and smiled brightly.

“There is also a guest owner.”

“Even if you send it to me like that, the only thing I can give you is mooncakes and sugarcane.”

So I’ll give you two!

“Oh?! You don’t have to give me that much!!”

I smiled at her as she was flustered, then took out a box of moon cakes and a box of sugar cookies and held them out. Yuhee came up behind Sayun, who was at a loss as to what to do, and she was also embarrassed.

I had no intention of taking back what I had already given them.

haha! Eat a lot!
