Chapter 1184 – [The Changing World]

Time passes and the sun slowly begins to set. Thanks to that, the weather became a little chilly and it became a little like that weather to be in the water.

Of course, if they want to play, they play in the cold bath, but the children who had been playing in full swing came out of the water as if they were tired.

Even if you take a shower after returning to the villa, having a barbecue after playing in the water is as special as the seafood ramen you ate during the day. I had a simple lunch, but I prepared a lot of meat to eat a hearty meal in the evening.

“It’s meat!!!!”

“I brought a lot, so don’t leave anything behind. Eat it all. Even if I try to take it back anyway, if I don’t eat it today, I’ll get hurt.”

“Dad, will there be any meat left? Or will there be an empty space in my stomach?”

“Oh”

It’s full of thoughts to inhale. Our Eden.

Anyway, put charcoal on the grill and light it. I brought a big grill, so the charcoal that goes in is full.

When the charcoal is on fire to some extent, raise the grill and preheat it. And after a while, when the grill was hot, I put the meat on it.

The first is beef, which is good for a light start. I don’t know if beef is light, but it’s light in my house.

Chii profit!!!

The meat on the preheated grill began to cook with a delicious sound, emitting smoke. However, Eden, who was hungry, twitched her fingers and ate only the ssamjang with chopsticks.

“It takes too long to cook meat!!!!”

“Cooking takes that much time.”

“I know that, but I hate it when I’m hungry… Well, if I can cook meat with a flame like Roberto, wouldn’t it be possible to cook it in one second?”

“Depending on practice”

Even if you bake it for 1 second, there are plenty of ways to cook it properly. It’s just a problem because you can’t do it the usual way.

In order to write such a method, this ability is essential. Since Eden has that kind of talent, he will be able to do it after enough practice.

Anyway, whether Eden waited or not, the meat was cooked. By the time I thought it was grilled to a certain extent, I was able to return a piece of steak to the kids.

“I will enjoy this food!!!!”

“I’ll have a good meal, father.”

“I’ll eat well… Oh, mister. Did you give me this on purpose?”

“Yes, Jihee, your stomach is the same as that of a normal person. I purposely gave you a small one to eat a little bit of various types of meat.”

Of these, Jihee eats the least. Even if the ramen I ate during the day is completely digested, the amount I can eat is only slightly more than that of an adult woman.

Me and Eve eat lightly for a few people, and Eden doesn’t have to wait, so he’s the weakest among them. That’s why I deliberately give them little by little so that they don’t leave any regrets at the barbecue party.

“Are you going to bake a porterhouse this time?”

“Dad, isn’t it difficult to adjust it because both the tenderloin and sirloin are attached?”

“What’s that level of fire control?”

That son of a phantom tastes like sous vide even though it’s grilled over a direct fire. Can’t I do something similar to me on the road? In the first place, the skill of evenly cooking a porterhouse was something that any skilled cook could do.

Ah, is it still a bit difficult for Eden? It might be because dysregulation is not a matter of talent, but a matter of experience.

While grilling the meat, I couldn’t even touch the meat. Perhaps realizing this, Ji-hee brought a wrap of lettuce wrapped in lettuce while eating.

“Mister, have some meat.”

“Ah, thank you. Can you pass it to me?”

“Ah, give me some kind of wrap. Just say ah”

The appearance may be a little strange, but let’s just think of receiving affection from a daughter-like child.

“Oh, come to think of it, Dad couldn’t eat meat!!!!!”

“I’ll pack it too”

When I received wraps from Jihee and ate them, Eden and Eve also packed wraps for me, albeit belatedly. What’s interesting here is that each person’s personality is revealed in the way they wrap the wraps.

First of all, if Ji-hee had a normal, well-balanced ssam, Eve resembles Shion and likes sweet and salty, so the ratio of ssamjang is high. And Eden…

“Extra-large wraps with 3 sheets of lettuce!!!!!”

“Didn’t I tell you that you can’t use food if you play with it?!”

“No, I can eat this”

“……Did you take out the jawbone and eat it?”

“If you push through it somehow, you’ll get in!!!!”

What Eden made was fist-sized, without adding a single bit of exaggeration. It’s about that much after compressing it, but if you put the ingredients inside that much, it’s much more than the size of a fist.

It’s a level that you can eat in one bite unless you are a person with a fairly big mouth. That said, eating ssam is not something that the Northeast fair chinks do, it is a conscience.

I couldn’t ignore the ssam that Eden gave me, so I somehow pushed it into my mouth. As I said earlier, I wondered if I had to take out my jawbone, but luckily I didn’t have to go that far.

It was hard to chew because the mouth was full, and even if I chewed, the amount was so large that my throat was clogged, so I barely passed it with beer. Oh, but the taste was there. The ingredients in the ssam are in the golden ratio.

“It tastes good. The ingredients in the wrap are harmonious.”

“It’s the golden ratio of ssam that I discovered while eating ssam. Ah, it’s a problem that only I can do it because the amount of meat that goes in varies depending on the amount of meat or part.”

“If you’re a cook, you should have at least one skill of your own, no matter what.”

After learning to a certain extent, he had to sublimate his own cooking. Supari (守破離). Keep, break, leave. In short, now Eden has entered the stage of waves in numbers.

As proof of that, after seeing Roberto’s cooking, he has a lot of interest in new dishes. To be honest, I haven’t learned much yet, but establishing my own style is a good thing, so there’s no need to stop it.

Beef is grilled, pork is grilled, and in the middle, the fish caught by the children is also grilled.

Sprinkle salt and pepper on foil, sprinkle lemon juice on it, and then steam and cook to make delicious grilled fish. Sea bass has soft flesh, so it doesn’t have a chewy texture when eaten raw, but it tastes great when grilled or steamed instead.

“Mmmm, what we caught is so delicious”

“It doesn’t smell fishy at all and it’s delicious”

“By the way, isn’t the last chicken?”

“Why is chicken the finale?”

“Oh, no way!!!!”

I took the chicken out of the ice box. However, the large size of the meat meant that it was definitely not in the spirit world.

Yes, Zion sent the meat that was in the Garden of Eden. Well, since it wasn’t caught by Eden, there might be a slight difference in taste, but I don’t want to argue about it and eat it on a day like today.

“It looks so delicious!!!!!”

“When you sold that, there were a lot of customers… Even now, they ask me quite often. When will it come in?”

“Well, it’s not so much that the store sells it every day. If Eden thinks, maybe we don’t have enough to eat?”

“Now, there are hundreds of chickens, but it is thanks to Eden that the number of chickens does not increase by one even though they are excellent in fertility.”

Chickens are, in a sense, the most successful animals. This is because many of them are being bred and raised thanks to humans.

Chickens have excellent fertility through breeding. Even in the Garden of Eden, hundreds of chickens are raised, but the reason why they did not go over to 1,000 or 10,000 units is because Eden once before that massacred what is called a party.

Once you decide to catch 100 of them, it doesn’t matter how much they increase. Even if you don’t eat all of them on the day you catch them, they will be gone in two or three days.

Anyway, the chicken I took out is grilled like chicken ribs. Ah, just because it’s called chicken ribs, it’s not that they’re fried red, it’s like charcoal-grilling.

The first is salt-grilled. Thanks to this, the natural aroma of the meat spread abundantly.

“Looks delicious”

“Eden, it looks like you’ve already eaten 20 servings of meat…”

“I can eat it all day”

“What Captain America are you?”

“Because Eden is Korean, he must be Captain Korea.”

“If you just call it Captain Korea, you don’t know which one it is, so let’s call it Captain South Korea.”

“Something seems to be missing”

“Will there ever come a day when we’ll just be called Korea?”

“Hmm… Jihee will come sooner than you think. I’ll see you when you’re alive.”

“……?”

Ji-hee knows that I am a copycat, but that and the story of North Korea are different. It was natural that I didn’t know because I had never told him the story.

North Korea will definitely perish. It will be completely isolated and ruined internationally, but what remains is national collapse and then unification.

China, which will be a hindrance, has long been divided, and even if Russia tries to use its hands, we are there. Perhaps they covet only the various benefits that arise after unification, not the territory.

I didn’t expect this to happen, but the snowball rolled by China has grown to this point. An avalanche is coming

Even now, I am monitoring North Korea with my senses. In fact, there is no particular cause there, but it is because when one wrong person comes out in North Korea and the mutant virus spreads, Eden cannot go to school and wears a mask.

If Eden had to choose between school life and humanity, Eden would of course be school life. This society exists for the sake of Eden.

“Oh, the meat is all gone.”

“No, already?!”

“Eden, it’s because you ate a lot. But there’s still one or two servings left… Shall we boil this slowly and finish it off with soup or porridge?”

“Looks delicious!!!!”

We added the remaining meat as a finishing touch, boiled it, added rice, and ate it like baeksuk made with wild vegetables.

Actually, if you want to make it, you can make it well, but that takes time and doesn’t fit the current atmosphere. What we want to eat is not simple white soup, but chicken porridge that we eat as a rough finish after a barbecue party.

As the remaining charcoal burned, the ash flew, and the barbecue party was over. After packing our luggage and garbage and returning to the villa, we take a leisurely break.

So the day at the villa passed.

*        *    *

The next day we woke up a little before lunch.

Yesterday, I played, ate, and drank, so waking up late is only natural. Originally, it’s good to rest as much as you want to relax when you come on vacation.

So, we wake up in the morning and have breakfast and brunch.

I was wondering what to make for breakfast and decided to make Eggs Benedict. It takes a lot of work to make the hollandaise sauce, but it was so delicious that it was worth the effort.

Oh, just in case you didn’t know, hollandaise sauce is kind of like mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is a sauce made by mixing eggs and oil to emulsify it, and Hollandaise sauce is similar to that.

However, hollandaise sauce is not just oil, but melted butter. How is it, will it taste good?

However, making it is difficult. While mixing eggs and melted butter, if the butter temperature is low, it hardens in the middle, and if the temperature is high, the eggs cook, so delicate temperature control was necessary. Of course, it’s simple for me, but beginners are better off not even touching it.

“Dad, I want to make the sauce.”

“Can you make it? I need to adjust the temperature.”

“I’m going to melt the butter hot first and then slowly cool it down with my ice. That’s how I adjust the temperature.”

“That’s because it’s butter, so it’s possible to control the temperature. But the taste of other things change once they’re heated, so shouldn’t we use the same method?”

“Okay!!!”

Eden boils water in a pot, puts a bowl on top of it, and melts the butter in a double boiler. Then, sprinkle egg yolks, a little lemon juice, salt and pepper, mix, and drop melted butter there.

It seems that the temperature was a little high, judging from the fact that it was slightly cooled with ice before adding it. However, if it is not too much, the slightly cooled butter becomes the right temperature and is mixed with the egg yolk.

The hollandaise sauce, which was mixed with a whisk, had a beautiful yellow color. Butter and egg yolks are both yellow. Besides, the eggs are not ordinary eggs, but airlifted from the Garden of Eden, so they will be more delicious.

When the sauce is done, there is nothing left. Once baked, ham, bacon, and poached eggs are placed on top of the bread. For your reference, if you only post animal-based menus, that’s why I also added spinach that was once blanched.

Spinach, ham, bacon, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce on bread. The delicious Eggs Benedict sprinkled in this way looked very delicious.

“This looks the same as the menu I took pictures of when I said I was having brunch on my friends’ Instagram… Why is it so big?”

“Because of Eden”

“I’ll be full if I eat just one.”

“I can eat about three”

“It’s okay!!! I’ll eat all the leftovers!!!!”

“I don’t have to worry about leftovers because Eden is here.”

“It seems like you’re dealing with something.”

“Eden, what are you talking about when you’ve never eaten military food?”

“Honestly, I’m a little curious about the taste.”

Eden who eats everything, boiled mackerel boneless, fried jogi, and seafood bibim sauce are the worst three musketeers. It was a magnificent lineup as if seeing a shield that blocks anything and a spear that pierces anything.

Maybe our Eden won’t be able to eat jjambab deliciously. No, even if I ate, I would just eat in moderation, expressionless.

Eden’s conversion ability is to eat food and convert it with satisfaction because it is delicious, but if there is no taste, there is a limit to eating. It’s an unexpected weakness.

“I want to try military food later.”

“If you want to try that, there’s no other way than for Eden to enlist as a female soldier.”

“Isn’t there a program run by the Ministry of National Defense? Why are you eating military meals?”

“But is the rice that comes out really the food that soldiers eat?”

“You’re doing it for show. But in Korea, most of the men are returning from the military, so why do they say things that will be obvious?”

“I don’t know, it seems that all the people at the top who think that are exempt.”

A whole day isn’t enough to talk like that.

But it wasn’t bad for Eden to know that. I didn’t intend to raise Eden while showing only the good things, so sometimes I had to be aware of the absurdities of society.

It is one of those absurdities that the treatment of the soldiers who protect the country is like shit. Looking at such a society and thinking about it, you will later become an adult and have different values.

If you live in a society where everything is perfect, will you be nothing more than an introverted flower in a greenhouse? If you want to live in the world, you have to be a wild flower, if not a weed.

“What do you want to do today? Are you going to swim in the afternoon?”

“Well, I played a lot yesterday, so I want to do something else today…”

“There is a village nearby, so there are things to do, such as looking around the market or fishing.”

“Fishing?! Let’s catch a lot and use it as a side dish for dinner tonight!!!!”

“I just ate, but I’m thinking about dinner again. But yesterday I ate a lot of meat, so I’d like fresh seafood today.”

“What about the fishing boat?”

“If I had bought a villa, Shion would have bought a boat as well.”

Today we decided to go fishing and set off from the villa. Thanks to Eden, I don’t have to worry about not being able to catch it, but if it’s still not enough, it’s enough to buy it at the market. There are cards and cash, so no problem.

As I was about to go out to the village with the kids, I felt the eyes on me again. This time, it’s a mixture of curiosity and envy, so I’m concerned about it as well.

“Dad, what’s wrong?”

“No, nothing”

It seems like he’s just interested in this… I don’t know why I’m bothered by it either.

Anyway, I hope it’s not a big deal.
