Chapter 1028 – [Winter of Growth]
The Garden of Eden produces elixirs and herbs. As if it were natural for unmanned people, and even non-unmanned people with psychic powers, they were producing the coveted elixir.
I don’t know if it’s a normal level, but if you regularly produce an elixir that comes out once every 100 years or once every 1000 years, of course you have no choice but to keep an eye on it.
Especially in these days……. In the days of Moorim, only the Moorim organization was interested, but if the elixir was really produced, the national level would be interested.
And there inevitably there are guys who approach. Even though the owners of the Garden of Eden were said to be the Hanon family, human greed was beyond imagination.
“Still, I’ll have to see if any of the big guys get over the fence.”
[If I had entered anyway, I would have become the host of the corpse mushroom]
If human greed were at an appropriate level, the world would have become a nice place to live like Delta Castle. But because they cross the line, they inevitably cause problems.
Even if they knew it belonged to the Hanon family, they would commit it. I came up with a few suspects in my head, and among them, I thought of those who could really do it.
My hunch was somehow telling me that they were chinks. There are many other suspects, and there are many bad feelings in China.
If my intuition judged it to be them, that would be it. You’ll know when you see the results.
And at the place where Keter and I arrived, there were three or four humans who had already grown mushrooms all over their bodies, and had become something hideous like something out of the Cthulhu myth.
In that state, being alive would be painful, but what was even more vicious was that the mind was intact. It must be painful to feel your own body transforming into a living, non-human being.
“That, that thing, that thing, that thing that thing!!!!!!”
“I don’t know what you mean”
[Because the vocal cords have already been settled by corpse mushrooms. Will you interrogate?]
“No, I just need to go through my belongings.”
I looked through the things they had. There was nothing special for security, but I was able to figure out their identities with just a few trivial things.
For example, even if your cell phone or cell phone is a cannon phone and uses English as the default language setting, if you search the Internet search history, you will find Chinese.
You can’t think that the other person came from China with this, but if you already had a feeling and physical evidence, it would have been obvious without looking at it. Maybe with more time, more will come out.
“You bastards are crossing the line…”
[Should we collaborate with Yero Restaurant to cause a volcanic eruption there?]
“I can do it to avoid harm to this side, but I think it’s going to be too blatant, so it’s a little like that. If possible, I’ll try to live a normal life before Eden becomes an adult.”
If Eden wanted to do anything later, he had to do it after Eden had grown to a certain extent. At least when you become an adult, your values will be established.
I don’t even want to do it until then. That’s why when I’m trying to show my temper, I do it secretly.
If it wasn’t for that, when I went on a trip to the US, I’d just goof off after seeing the chinks playing tricks.
[Then, I’ll deal with these guys for now. If you erase it without a trace, you won’t find any evidence, so there shouldn’t be any problem]
“Okay”
As Kether snapped her fingers, the trespassers in the Garden of Eden began to be covered in corpse mushrooms.
“Geugh, Gaak, aaaaa…”
“You’ll have to pay the price for coming in unknowingly. Goodbye.”
At least thank you for not being a Horizon thunderbolt. That’s because I use it only for kids who really cross the line.
They spat out something like a death rage, and before long, the corpse was covered with mushrooms without a visible part. Not only their flesh, but also the clothes and equipment they were wearing.
Before long, the pile of corpse mushrooms collapses. All that remains in it is the mushroom and its spores. No human traces were left anywhere.
It’s a much cleaner method than burning it. Because those things are returned to nature and made into nutrients.
“Should I use my hands again, Chinese bastards…… I’ll tell Shion later.”
[What about corpse mushrooms? Would you like to eat together later?]
“Didn’t you say you don’t eat human food?!”
[It’s become a nutrient anyway, it doesn’t matter]
“It’s a matter of mood.
[Then I should use these mushrooms separately as fertilizer. Is that okay?]
“If you go through the process one more time, it’s okay”
If there is a difference between skipping once and skipping twice, there is still a difference. At least considering that humans were used as fertilizer in the previous stage and as fertilizer one more time after that, skipping twice is much better.
Even the average person would prefer to skip twice, even if there are people who can eat one skip.
Anyway, I thought of it as a mere happening and moved on.
Even though things got bigger because of what happened next.
* * * *
We decided to stay one night in the Garden of Eden and spend the next day here as well. Since it was a weekend, I was able to spend two days here, so I enjoy my vacation leisurely.
Hey, this is why self-employment is good. Usually, we do business on weekends, but our shop allows us to relax on weekends.
“What do you have for breakfast?”
“Look at what our Eden says as soon as it wakes up”
“How about it? It’s rather good because it’s proof that you eat well.”
“That’s right. Anyway, what should I eat for breakfast…… I don’t like anything too burdensome, so how about making some light soup?
“Mushroom soup!!!! It’s delicious!!!!!”
I saw something like that yesterday, but eating is different. Oh, of course I’m not talking about eating corpse mushrooms.
Because it is such an abundant vegetation, it was not boring to find mushrooms while wandering around in a place created like a forest. Looking at it, it smelled like truffles, and it seemed like truffles too.
No, things like truffles will cover the environment, but they grow well. Is this the power of Lu-Beana?
Thanks to that, I took Mangmungi and went on a mushroom hunt. I can do it, but it’s been a while since the mangmungi has something to do. And the original truffle picking
“Mongmung, is there something unusual among the mushrooms in the ground? Let’s go dig together.”
“In the ground!!!! Is it going to be waves on the ground, big jjooin-nim?”
“Okay”
“I like digging!”
I take a basket for mushrooms and go foraging. If you have a farm like this, you can get fresh ingredients by hand, so I really like it.
While Mangmungi was digging, I picked mushrooms around. There are all kinds of mushrooms, so there is a rare scene where even matsutake mushrooms, which are said to be impossible to farm, grow. It’s really no joke.
“Big Zuinnim!!!! I found it here!!!!”
“Yeah, where…… Uh huh. This is so big.”
“Did I do well? Praise me!!!!!”
“Yeah, well done, you idiot.”
The truffle dug up by Mangmungi was a typical truffle shape, like a black lump, but the size was different. Eden is the size of a head, and the fragrance is very strong, so you can smell it from afar and the fragrance stings your nose when you are close.
If it is about 1 million won per kilo, it seems that this one will be millions of won. Of course, the cheaper ones are the same and the expensive ones are more expensive.
I carefully dig up the truffle and collect it. When I dug it up, it was bigger and bigger, so it was hard to just eat it no matter how I looked at it.
“We were just going to eat it ourselves, but this is too much.
“Sell more?! Should I sell more, big jjooin?!”
“Okay”
“Hurray!!!!!!”
Mangmung runs out and smells the truffle and digs the ground.
The tension was high right now because there was a job that dogs would like, such as using their sense of smell and digging. Dogs relieve their stress in that way, so it seems that even the goons are having a good vacation.
Pick more mushrooms and collect more truffles before returning. Thanks to the truffle, the smell vibrated, making me feel like a walking truffle.
“I’ve been back…… No, what does it smell like? Truffle?”
“I saw that it was there. So I dug it up.”
“That’s enough to fill my stomach with truffles.”
“Eating like that doesn’t taste good.”
Truffle is a very unique ingredient. As one of the world’s top three delicacies, it is a high-quality ingredient that enriches any dish with a small amount, but if it is overdone, it will ruin the dish.
Honestly, even if Eden ate a lot, the truffles for this morning would be enough if they were the size of a baby’s fist. But since we brought several of them the size of a child’s head, we have no choice but to eat them at home and use them at the store.
It’s going to be a truffle party tomorrow when we do business.
I prepared a dish. After trimming the mushrooms and frying them with vegetables, put butter in a pan and pour milk to make a soup roux.
After throwing the fried mushrooms and vegetables here, stir well and add the milk and fresh cream in moderation to increase the amount. Oh, it’s important to stir, but if you don’t stir, the roux will sink and burn, so you have to keep your hands busy.
After a while, it gives off the alluring smell of ripe mushrooms and vegetables. And I squeeze a truffle here and mix it with truffle oil.
“Mmmm, it smells delicious.”
“How come you look like Eden? You seem interested in eating.”
“It’s all because my father’s cooking is delicious.”
“It can’t be helped”
As time passed, the soup was complete. I put the soup in a proper bowl, squeeze the truffle oil, and finely grind the remaining truffle on top to decorate.
In fact, the flavoring part is all squeezed out with oil, so the mushroom itself doesn’t taste very good, but it looks more delicious this way.
Honestly, if it’s an expensive truffle, it feels better to grind it and sprinkle it on top than to use it as an invisible oil, right?
“Hey, there’s bread too, so dip it in the soup and eat it. If you want more, let me know.”
“I will enjoy this food!!!!!”
“I’ll eat well, father.”
[I’ll eat well!!!!]
The three musketeers in my house said their pre-dinner greetings and started eating. They eat the soup, tear up the bread, dip it in the soup, and eat it in a variety of ways.
However, it was our Eden that stood out. This is because Eden’s spoon-moving speed was several times faster than other people’s.
Even though the bowl was not small, Eden quickly finished a bowl of soup and two loaves of bread.
“One more bowl!!!!”
“Yes, yes. Our Eden eat a lot.”
I gave Eden a refill of soup and bread. And Eden inhaled the soup at a speed not different from before.
Shion was eating leisurely while the other kids were fighting. Shion also eats a lot, but she has no reason to eat quickly, so she shows her leeway.
“The flavor of various mushrooms is mixed, but that is rather attractive, and the scent of truffle is mixed with it, so it is very rich. I think this can be served as an appetizer at a hotel restaurant or state dinner.”
“I like it because it tastes good”
“Besides, the truffles are also very good quality. I have never tasted such good truffles.”
[Thanks to me!!!!!]
“It’s so comfortable because I have one Lu-Beana.”
To be honest, it is an environment that I dreamed of as a chef.
Money is important, but if you’re a true chef, it’s normal to want to serve more delicious and better things to your guests. So, it was my dream to run a farm and cook with good ingredients.
But there were so many things to worry about. It’s hard to juggle cooking and running the farm. To be honest, I had to manage the farm when the store was closed, and after that, I had to go to the store.
Dreams and reality are difficult to coexist. It can be done, but it took more effort than I imagined to catch the two at the same time.
And since Zion took precedence over that, I honestly gave up. Cooking, farm, Zion, if I had to give up one of these three, it would be the farm in the end.
However, with Keter, the farm management and quality are top-notch. Thanks to this, the quality of the side dishes served on our dining table surpasses the best.
[Would you like to make kimchi later with the ingredients I produce here?]
“That’s right!!!!!! I should have made kimchi with these ingredients!!!!!!”
“Anyway, this time I went to the store. I’ll have to do it at the end of the year.”
“I see… No, since it’s done every year, I took it for granted, so I didn’t think of making it with these ingredients.”
How much do you think who makes our kimchi? Even if you think about using it in the store, you have to give up hundreds of cabbages.
Physically, there is no problem, but there is a customer who has been trading with it for a long time…….. Without thinking, I answered the question of how much I will make kimchi this year, so I did it there.
Write, I guess I should eat all the kimchi this year. Should I cook kimchi whenever I have time? Well, if you make kimchi jjigae, you can handle it right away, so there shouldn’t be a problem.
Anyway, we finished our breakfast like that. After a pleasant meal with delicious dishes, the body becomes tired.
However, children who are full of stamina are ready to go out and play right away. Even if you just walk around the Garden of Eden, it is full of things to do and play, so you won’t get tired of it every time you come.
“Let’s go eat fruit for dessert!!!!!”
“What fruit are you talking about?”
“Anything you see passing by!!!!”
[Randomly? That would be fun]
That’s how the children go out to play, and the remaining adults lightly drink tea to digest them. I was able to catch my breath and rest.
“By the way, what happened yesterday?”
“Did you notice?”
“Even though there is no CCTV here, Horizon is monitoring it. I knew there was an intruder.”
“Because the Chinese guys say shit again”
“Are you in China again?”
“To be honest, I’m tired of it”
There are many countries near Korea, such as China, Japan, Mongolia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Russia, and so on. Even if you don’t have a face-to-face country, if you have to pick countries that will cause friction with Korea, it’s China, Japan, and Russia.
However, most of those countries fell out as Zion, the head of the Hanon family, became a naturalized Korean. Especially in the case of Japan, despite historically being a country with bad relations, it has been relatively quiet recently.
“Japan is originally a country that is subordinate to each other. In a moment of danger, it tries to strike from the back, but when the opponent is overwhelmingly strong, it bends and enters.”
“I can’t deny that”
I’m not trying to generalize, but it’s historically true. Korea is a Confucian country, so if the virtue of a loyal subject is to say something and die, in Japan, it is basic to give one’s orders, so if the monarch tells them to die, they die.
Hey, if you were normal, you would have been flagged when you were told to be imprisoned during World War II. As much as that, Japan’s top and bottom clothes were quite tainted by society.
Even if that wasn’t the case, considering the power of the Hanon family, it’s natural to cringe. In fact, this seems to have the most impact.
“Then we have to impose economic sanctions on China again… Ah, but it seems that there is another problem.”
“No, again?”
“It’s at the front gate of the Garden of Eden.”
The good thing that happened in just one day cooled my good mood at once.
Okay, let’s see what kind of bastard it is this time.
