Chapter 585 – King Yan’s Disciple 6 (6)

“It’s hard to say this is delicious.”

The martial people who tried it said with slightly awkward expressions.

It seems like there is a problem with the taste when I look at the fact that people who think of me and can say that it is delicious are sincere.

As I lightly picked up the grilled meat and chewed it, I thought I knew why he was saying that.

“It’s definitely lacking in some aspects to say it’s delicious.”

I agreed with what the martial people said, and Jegal Seon-ah and his second brother also tried it and looked strange.

“This has a good texture, but it lacks flavor.”

“Yes. It doesn’t ruin the food because there is a strange fishy smell, but it doesn’t taste good.”

As the two people commented, it was close to tasteless.

I’ve heard that something like a frog’s hind leg tastes like chicken breast, but the tail of this two-legged lizard had almost no flavor that meat should have.

Perhaps because the structure is hard, the texture when grilled and chewed felt like grilled sashimi that slightly sticks out the teeth, but there was a flaw in eating it raw.

“Can we try it?”

The person who spoke to us was the owner of the inn, who looked a little tired from running.

The two Jeomsoi ran to the guesthouse as if competing and brought him back right away, but they seemed to be a little lacking in stamina.

The two restaurant owners, who seemed to know more about cooking than I did, also began to taste it with very cautious expressions when I handed them the grilled tail of the provocative lizard.

“The texture is okay.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if I just spread the sauce on this well?”

After tasting the tail, the owners of the two restaurants exchanged a few glances and then spoke to us.

“I will discuss with the chef the sauce that goes well with this meat and bring it. Can you cut it into appropriate sizes?”

“If they pay for the sauce, we’ll pay for the drinks. We’ll have to give you a big discount.”

After listening to the owner of the inn, the second brother suggested something, and smiles spread across both people’s faces.

No matter how much you think about it, the cost of alcohol for this many people seems like it would cost a lot of money even if you lower the price. Is that okay?

“Don’t worry, I’m living it. I have a little bit saved for me.”

The second brother must have noticed my gaze and tapped the pocket hanging on his waist.

“When did you get that again?”

“When you and Mr. Jesu spent the night, this brother took advantage.”

“I hope you don’t just sell my name.”

“Is that possible? I sold a decent amount. Haha.”

Zhuge Xian looked at his older brother, who was smiling widely, with a shocked expression on his face, and I felt somewhat the same way.

What. He didn’t just trade for a day or two, he traded with many merchants, so he probably didn’t get caught.

The Murim people attached themselves to the tail of a two-legged lizard and, using sharpened knives, began cutting it into bite-sized pieces, applying seasoning and grilling it.

As the meat between the skin and bones fell off, the size of the tail decreased, as we expected.

“Xian, I want to cut it too.”

As the Murim people were busy cutting off the tail and performing a sword dance, Zhuge Xian looked like he wanted to do it too.

Even when I was at the Han clan manor, I barely practiced swordsmanship and only helped the superiors with their work. Is it possible that I could start to develop withdrawal symptoms?

“Now that things are like this, Seon-ah is the one watching.”

I grabbed Zhuge Xian’s shoulder and pulled him into my arms so that he could not draw his sword.

Zhuge Xian, slightly puffing out his cheeks, spoke to me in a pouty voice.

“Ugh… Are you going to give me a map sparring session later?”

“Yes. Yes.”

As we waited, the owner of the inn brought a large jar and cooking utensils on a cart.

It appears to be a jar full of seasoning, but not only did they bring the seasoning, but quite a few people from Hangzhou also brought it.

It seems that the rumor that two-legged lizard tail meat is being distributed is starting to spread.

The chefs coated the meat with the sauce they brought, lit a fire, and began grilling the meat over the fire.

The scent of the similar, but different sauces in the two guesthouses began to spread across the river, and when I smelled that smell, I was convinced that it was being grilled deliciously.

I was the first to eat the tail, which was cut into bite-size pieces, seasoned, and grilled, and it was delicious.

“It’s delicious. Like you said, it goes well with alcohol.”

“Since I mentioned alcohol, it must have tasted like that.”

It had a slightly salty taste, but I thought it would go better with a cold drink rather than with rice.

‘It’s a shame that the alcohol in this world isn’t as cold as I thought.’

Fortunately, the alcohol I drink and the alcohol we drink can be made cold.

The owner of the inn, who noticed that the taste had reached the acceptable level, ordered Jeomsoi to lead the cart again.

Now, there will be a liquor jar on that cart.

A drinking scene broke out in Hangzhou in broad daylight.

*

The three of us from out of town didn’t stay drinking that long.

The two-legged lizard was not killed without any damage, but people were injured, and the guardian blue dragon died, so the people of Hangzhou tried to forget their sorrow with alcohol.

My brother opened his pockets and distributed them to the two guest owners, and we returned to the guest cups we had already reserved.

“Sian, would it have been okay if you had moved a little faster?”

Little Brother said to me before entering the room.

This is probably a question you wouldn’t be able to ask if you weren’t drunk.

“It may have decreased a little, but I’m not always nearby.”

“Yes, that’s right. And your steps shouldn’t be so cheap.”

After nodding a few times, Little Brother entered the room, and I also entered the room with Zhuge Xian.

Jegal Seon-ah, who was lying on the bed without washing properly, tied her collar.

Perhaps because I was by his side, he drank quite a bit, so his skin was slightly red.

“Xian, you don’t have to worry so much about what your uncle says. Xian is a martial artist.”

Zhuge Xian said, looking at the ceiling without looking at me.

What is more important to the martial arts people is to reach a high state, and for that, they did not hesitate to practice closing the pipes, cutting off communication with the world.

Because my father respected me for walking the path of a martial artist, he delayed my coming forward as much as possible.

“It would have been nice if I could have reached it. It was late.”

I lay down next to Jegal Seon-ah and hugged her gently, and I felt her soft breasts.

It was a shame that the scent of meat and alcohol filled me rather than the sweet scent I wanted to keep smelling, but the soft feel of her face didn’t change.

“It’s okay to act like a fool. I’m your older sister, right?”

“Thank you, sister.”

What. However, I can’t just sleep well. Because I have to protect that tail.

*

Two days later, people from the Han clan arrived.

As soon as I arrived, I loaded the wagon with a lot of luggage, and after the meat party, I dried the tail of the two-legged lizard to take to Jeokgye and removed most of the moisture.

What we were carrying was the tail of a two-legged lizard, with only the bones and skin remaining. The bones alone were as large as the upper body of an adult man, so we could barely fit them on the wagon we brought.

After two more days so that the people at the top who had been running non-stop could get enough rest, we headed to Jeokgye.

“Isn’t it great these days when the monsters are capturing all the bandits and moving up the mountain?”

“You meet monsters instead of bandits. What’s good about it?”

“Still, I feel more comfortable killing monsters than people.”

“That’s right. Still, if you take a person to the government office, and they give you money, you get stabbed for trying to save their lives.”

While listening to the vivid stories of current workers, it seemed like it was not that bad, even though it took several times longer than when I headed to Hangzhou alone.

‘I think it’s best to grow through actual combat.’

Rather than endlessly studying to reach the 12 levels of Yeonyeom Shingong, I was able to do it right away when I tried to capture all of Yeonhwanryu (連環流) in practice.

Even if it borrowed heavily from the power of Skill Link, it felt perfect to use advanced technology.

“Do you have the constitution to run on your feet?”

“Are you planning on going out like you did in Sacheon?”

Jegal Seon-ah, who heard me muttering to herself, gently pulled her collar and asked.

“If it helps enlightenment, I can’t help it.”

“If you listen to the stories of Sentai masters, Kang Ho-haeng is helpful, but… “

Even though Zhuge Xian made many concessions for my enlightenment, he did not like sending me out.

“Seon-ah, would you like to walk around together?”

“You… You can’t do that when you have Cheongrin too.”

Even though she is an illegitimate child, Cheongrin is my daughter recognized by Master Yeomwang. Recently, when I touched Cheongrin, I could vaguely feel my blood flowing.

“I guess I should climb Mt. Huangshan often.”

“Yes. I can take care of that much… Also, don’t go too far for the strange reason that I fell into a trance while practicing Gyeonggong.”

Jegal thought as she nodded her head when she whined.

We must remove the restrictions on Baekyoung (白影), who was stranded in the enemy world, expand the scope of his activities, and check the whereabouts of the remaining Four Gods.

‘I just need to use the warp marker and go outside for a bit.’

*

After returning home, I began to worry about how my father could sell the loot at a high price.

At that time, the eldest brother had also finished his journey and returned to the manor. The three heads of the Han clan, including the younger brother, were thinking together and threw in the word ‘bag’.

Why is a bag the first thing that comes to mind when looking at the skin of a reptile like a crocodile? As we talked about luxury goods, stories about the West naturally came out of my father’s mouth.

“It is said that a luminescent stone that emits light when injected with energy suddenly appeared at an auction and was sold for a very large amount of money. That means that such luxury items can fetch a lot of money. We also need to increase the number of items in addition to dealing only with daily necessities.”

‘Did I steal the money and put it instead?’

No matter how much I thought about it, considering the conditions for injecting internal energy, that was the only solution.

“I agree with increasing the number of items, but are they really making bags like Xian said? Are they made of good leather that won’t get stabbed by swords?”

“Okay. Since the guy who caught me said so, I should try it. So, which bag do you think would be good?”

I roughly compiled the appearances of luxury bags that I had seen, drew them roughly, and showed them to them.

“Isn’t it better than a cloth bag to carry a silver coin? There is no need to make so many, it would be better to make it in limited quantities.”

“In Hangzhou, the body is bigger than the tail. Will the quantity be controlled?”

“Wouldn’t they make armor like you think? And if necessary, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make my own seal and put it on.”

I roughly drew my seal on the bag, and my brothers and father exchanged looks, as if they thought this would work.

If things go well, I think I will be able to receive enough funds to become independent.
