And then Seoliri turns around again.

    “No, where are you going again?”

    “Fruit… … ”

    I don’t know if I know that it doesn’t make sense, but my voice is uncertain and the endings of my words are slurred.

    “Can you distinguish between what is okay to eat and what is not? Binggung Wasn’t that area just filled with ice?”

    “I can tell apples apart.”

    “No, that’s ridiculous. Do you know that the apples are just growing in the back mountain? And now it’s July, what kind of apples are you looking for?”

    Cheong is an expert at picking up things from the mountains.

    You must make it clear that you are an expert in picking up food, not a survival expert.

    Because of their constitution, they are experts who just eat anything and everything, but they are completely ignorant of whether it is toxic or how to consume it safely.

    Still, I roughly knew the difference between something delicious and something tasteless, and to the average person, ‘something tasteless’ usually meant the same thing as dying if you ate it.

    “So, what opens?”

    “When it comes to this time, well. peach? I guess it’s still a little unripe.”

    “Peach.”

    Seoliri swallowed her saliva and a faint smile appeared on her expressionless face.

    It seems he likes peaches.

    Then he tried to turn around again.

    Cheong was dumbfounded so he grabbed him again.

    “No, do you know that peaches are open in some mountain behind? To begin with, delicious fruits aren’t just lying around in the wild.”

    “No. I saw it on the way.”

    “That’s acid and sun peach. It will be sour and astringent and your stomach will hurt.”

    Seoliri looks at Cheong’s complexion closely. I had a hard time believing whether he was trying to deceive me or if it was real.

    “Oh my, if I send it away, I’ll be in big trouble. Okay, come eat dinner with me. No, you’re just leaving on the road without any money? How can people be so careless and careless? And that too with a woman’s body. How are you going to eat and sleep on the street?”

    Cheong (flower beggar) clicked his tongue and said.

    At that, Seoliri’s eyes become fierce.

    “Why. Do you have something to say?”

    “Yes.”

    “Really? Then try it.”

    “I don’t like it.”

    What on earth are we supposed to do with this?

    At least I know that he has no friends.

    Even Moyong Sojeo, a hedgehog with a thousand times inferiority complex who fires sharp thorns in all directions, is followed by followers, whether he is a member of the women’s association or not.

    “So, you won’t eat with me either?”

    “No.”

    “You mean to eat it?”

    “Yes.”

    A wicked smile appeared on Cheong’s face.

    Then, I tried to say, “I’m hungry, please buy me some food,” but I stopped because I thought it would be too foolish to hold food hostage.

    I don’t know anything else, but you shouldn’t be rude with food. That’s too much.

    “ Let’s go. Let’s eat until our stomachs are full today.”

    Which house is the best at Buddhist painting?

    In fact, it was a very difficult problem.

    Since Buldojang is not a health food dish that is eaten once a year when something comes to mind, it is considered to be one of the highest-class dishes in the central region, and is eaten once a year on a very special day.

    So, even if you ask people, they only know the restaurants they have tried at, and if you ask Jeomsoy, they will tell you that his restaurant is the best, so there is zero trust.

    However, when it comes to fierce food cravings, the brilliant mind goes crazy, so there is a solution to everything.

    “Hey, Jeomsoy. How long does a Buddhist painting start here?”

    “Ah, Sojeo! We start from 15 nyang. If you take an open seat, it starts from 5 nyang… … ”

    “Hmm. I’ll take a look around.”

    When they said they would be seated in an open seat, they meant that they would be seated in a seat with the best view.

    If there are two beautiful women, business will explode.

    Cheong filtered it out for now.

    “We start from 20 nyang… … ”

    “If we invite you to an open room, we should treat you better… … ”

    “For us, twenty-five nyang is the basic number.”

    Then, Cheong finally found the answer.

    “Well, the main store is a bit more expensive.”

    “Good. Are there any cool seats left?”

    “Oh my gosh, I wonder if there is any!”

    So, Cheong settled down with Seoliri in the open corner at the top of the restaurant.

    “Then what kind of Buddhist painting will you use? There is a fire hall, a high-class fire hall, a special fire hall, a unique super special fire hall, and the best super special fire hall.”

    For some reason, I feel like I just have to pull it out.

    Cheong suppressed the feeling he had been feeling for the first time in a long time and ordered the top-quality special buldojang, followed by some fried eggplant and some small vegetables for additional vegetable consumption.

    Jeomsoy, who caught the big fish for the first time in a while, is so thirsty, it’s the best!!! Super special!!! Special!!! Special!!! He repeated the incantation with a voice that rivaled that of a lion and walked away.

    So, we are excitedly waiting for the food to be cooked.

    “… … ”

    “Seol Sojeo? The weather is really hot these days, isn’t it?”

    “Yes.”

    “… … ”

    “… … ”

    He was the type of person that was really difficult to be with because he wouldn’t even talk to me first, and if I tried to start a conversation, he would cut me off with a short answer.

    Such an awkward time, an awkward time, the long wait between you and me has finally come to an end. As soon as Jeomsoi opens the lid of the seemingly luxurious pot, the unique sweet scent of Sohongju spreads out, and at the same time, all kinds of delicious smells come out!

    “Whoa. It already looks delicious. hmm. Seol sojeo? I’m drooling.”

    “No.”

    Seoliri wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

    What isn’t is what it isn’t. At the same time, his gaze was directed directly into the pot.

    If you were to ask what Buldojang cooks, they would just say it’s steamed alcohol with all the delicious things in it.

    Among them, there are a few things that must be included: shark fin, sea cucumber, and abalone. As for meat, it is the best dried meat in the central region called Hwatoe.

    Of course, because it’s inland, the shark’s fin is missing and the dried sea cucumber is a bit wrinkled, but you can’t help but smile when you look at all the ingredients.

    So, first of all, I gave Seoliri a very large bowl, and Cheongdo also served a large bowl, and we finally had a late dinner.

    Cheong is usually a good eater.

    This is because she is the woman in the world best suited to the expression “cheating.” Even with good words, it can hardly be called eating.

    But Seoliri ate it well too.

    I looked at it suspiciously, wondering if it was my first time seeing this dish, and tried to break it open and turn it over to see what was in it, but as soon as I put one of the cut pidans in my mouth-

    and. What is a smile?

    Cheong looked blankly at Seoliri’s bright smile.

    It was already a face I liked, but the bewitching smile that spread over it along with the blush made me forget how to use my chopsticks.

    Of course, my body remembers it, so my left hand automatically moves (since my right hand is completely destroyed) and I scoop it into my mouth, and my tongue and jaw start working and I swallow it down.

    “Hahaha, hot, haaah.”

    People from the North Sea usually boil everything and eat it very hot. This means that you are very good at eating hot food.

    Seoliri lost face and started inhaling, but I should say that it felt different from Cheong’s first time eating, or rather, why on earth do you eat food like that? He eats really, really dirty.

    The guests who were dining on the same floor suddenly turned their gazes in surprise at the sound of a woman’s voice that was not a prayer.

    And after that, from the customers’ point of view, should I say that it was a lightning strike, or should I say that it was a stroke of luck that I got a spectacle that would never be seen again in royalties?

    Two exquisite beauties are having a meal, and one woman shoves food into her mouth and chews it as if she were her parents’ enemy.

    Anyone who looks at it looks like an ugly person at the dinner table who says that even a pig wouldn’t eat something like that. It’s an amazing and bizarre experience that it feels like a nice sight to see because it’s so beautiful.

    And one woman was happily eating, but for some reason, each breath coming out of her mouth and nose was accompanied by a mournful moan.

    It’s unrelated to this, but I would say it’s really strange to suddenly see guests crossing their legs or sitting closer together.

    Either way, Seoliri was already more than half distracted.

    The North Sea Ice Palace is not in good condition.

    People in barren lands naturally have few warehouses. Because warehouses are created after filling people’s stomachs first.

    As a result, he went south after receiving orders to arrest criminals, but he did not receive a large amount of money for his activities from the beginning.

    It was partly because of the circumstances, but also because I knew they would catch me quickly.

    The Binggung people will be noticed anyway, so if you go out to the central area and ask around, they will catch you right away.

    The people of Binggung are hillbillies who never thought that Jungwon was so big and wide that it was a land with a vastness that was close to infinite.

    How amazing is it to think that the Centipede Ice Plate is the largest piece of land reaching the end of the world?

    So, Seoliri lived in the Murim League and ate Murim League food.

    Sometimes, when I wanted to eat something delicious, I went to Yongbongjihoe and ate banquet dishes.

    For reference, when it comes to banquet dishes, Paeng Dae-san said that they are made assuming that everything has cooled down, so it is difficult to give a good evaluation in terms of appearance and taste.

    But Seoliri was so delicious that the people of Jungwon thought that they were the only ones eating this dish. But it’s a bit hot, so is there any food that warms your stomach?

    This was the reason why Seoliri often showed up at the Yongbong branch even though she had no friends.

    Moreover, since access by others is completely blocked, there is no need for anyone to exploit you.

    So, this is the moment when Seoliri encounters proper special cuisine for the first time since Kangho’s departure, a dish that perfectly suits the North Sea people’s taste for boiling like lava!

    Thus, the two women continued their fighting meal, and on the top floor, the restaurant’s most luxurious seats, the rotation of seats completely stopped as other customers watched without even being able to breathe.

    “Whoa. I am full.”

    Cheong leaned back and rubbed her pregnant belly. It’s almost like five to six months of pregnancy. In fact, it is a lonely animal that looks surprisingly cute because it has something growing inside it.

    Seoliri looked at Cheong’s pregnant belly with wonder in the world, then lowered her head.

    “I ate well. Thank you.”

    It was a surprisingly polite greeting.

    Is it really rice cake? Did your likeability increase a little after eating together? Cheong grinned and tried to have a conversation after the meal.

    “How about it? Did it hit your mouth?”

    “Yes.”

    Apparently not.

    “I’m done eating now, Seol Sojeo should stop following me and go back to my hometown.”

    “I don’t like it.”

    He didn’t deny that he was following him around, so it didn’t seem like he had any intention of hiding anything in the first place.

    “They say they don’t have any money. Where are you going to sleep tonight? Are you going to sleep on the street?”

    Seoliri looked at Cheong quietly with a sullen expression and then blurted out a word.

    “I’ll go back and sleep, so just wait.”

    “Ah. Do you want to go back now, sleep, and come back? Well, if I go now, I’ll arrive by night, and if I come back tomorrow morning after breakfast, I can be back before lunch.”

    “Yes.”

    “Even so, what about tomorrow? I’m going to Jongnam Mountain. Do you want to go back and sleep every day?”

    Seoliri bit her lip.

    “I’m going to sleep outside.”

    “Have you ever stayed overnight?”

    “Yes. A lot.”

    Seol I-ri just doesn’t know the situation in the midfield.

    They are originally a strong North Sea people who forced their roots and live in an uninhabitable land.

    “But instead, it’s getting dark by the end of the day, so why don’t you book a room with me and stay for a day and then go back?”

    “I don’t like it.”

    “I’m going to make a long circuit all the way to Sacheon. Do you plan to stay overnight and follow along during the journey?”

    “Yes.”

    Very stubbornness is also stubbornness.

    Cheong just gave up on persuasion.

    Well, wouldn’t it be okay to follow him and then fall away when he gets tired?

    “I understand. If Seol Sojeo is true, then.”

    It was when Cheong said that and was about to stand up, thinking that he should take the guest’s cup.

    “Preface Sojeo, where do you stay?”

    “I will look for it from now on.”

    “Then, when do we leave tomorrow?”

    I wondered why he was asking, but it turned out to be a confirmation to keep following him.

    Do you usually ask this out loud like this?

    Cheong, who was secretly grumpy, answered.

    “As I wish. Normally, I can’t sleep when I’m alone, right? If I can’t sleep, I might just leave in the middle of the night. So, focus and monitor well. Don’t miss it.”

    It wasn’t just that he was grumpy, he was telling me not to worry and to keep my head strong because he said he was going to stay overnight.

    Seol Sojeo is also a cilantro in his own way. Well, isn’t it an insult to cilantro to call a climactic brat a cilantro? Heavy water, yes. Seol Sojeo is also somewhat of a middle-aged person, so as long as you keep your mind on it, you won’t get into trouble.

    —-

    Since he was very wealthy financially, he stayed in a high-class room in a luxury hotel, took a refreshing bath, and threw himself into a high-class bed.

    As expected, it was worth the money and it was very comfortable to be completely buried in it.

    If I just do this, I think I’ll be able to fall asleep quickly. hmm. sleep. sleep.

    But I can’t sleep.

    To be precise, I feel drowsy because my body is tired and my mind is exhausted, but I can’t sleep because it’s uncomfortable to close my eyes and lie down.

    I think I dozed off occasionally, but I woke up with an extremely terrible feeling, and all that remained was the realization that the nightmare I couldn’t remember was repeating itself every time I dozed off.

    I still can’t sleep alone.

    Finally, Cheong stood up, shaking his hair.

    The bedroom alone is quiet.

    Still, I guess it’s fortunate that it’s not completely quiet, as you can hear the cool sound of rain falling outside the window covered with greaseproof paper.

    This is because Cheong liked rain, which I did not like, from his hometown before leaving. In particular, hearing the sound of rain in a comfortable and peaceful state brings about peace of mind and body.

    Cheong completely opened the window.

    Shoot!

    The refreshing sound of rain, like the sound of frying fried food, filled the room.

    Wow, the sound of rain. I really like it. I want to eat green onion pancakes.

    Is that why?

    As I listen to the refreshing sound of rain, I feel like I am gradually becoming calmer.

    I have a premonition or confidence that I can sleep well now.

    In response, Cheong quickly lay down on the bed to hold on to the horse that had come for the first time in a while.

    And so, ah, the refreshing sound of rain, it feels like all my worries are washed away, I feel really good, and I fall asleep, sleep… …

    It was the moment when Cheong was about to fall asleep.

    A thought suddenly crossed my mind. My eyes widened and I couldn’t help but jump up.

    Oh right! Seol Sojeo!
