Chapter 1188 – [The Changing World]

I heard a lot from Zion about the current Italian mafia situation.

First, the Botticelli family with Ana’s father. This is a typical Italian mafia, but it was unexpectedly adapted to the world because it pursued corporateization with the times.

Thanks to that, it’s quite clean for a mafia. Of course, that doesn’t mean it isn’t dirty.

-Still, most of the illegal businesses were sorted out around the time Ana was born.

“Well, it’s not that difficult to say that a father changes when a daughter is born. Neither do I.”

-Certainly, you have changed quite a lot since Eden was born.

There were quite a few times when I felt like my personality had died. Normally, I would have torn everything to death and left it alive.

After Eden was born, I also changed a lot. Still, I don’t know where my nature goes.

-But the Corleone Mafia is a mafia in name only. It is a dirty organization with no romance. Originally, the mafia is a criminal organization, but this side has crossed the line.

“I roughly expected it.”

-As times have changed, while the Botticelli family came out in the sun, the Corleone family went into more darkness. And these guys, they sell drugs and stuff.

“………Drug?”

-Do you remember Je Ho-moon, who used to distribute drugs in Korea?

“Could it be that those bastards sold drugs?”

-The origin is Mexico, but the Corleone family is related in the middle.

“Should the Mexican bastards have to sort things out soon? Eden will go mad if they say shit after going out to eat tacos.”

– I think I’ll have to change it once.

But these bastards are really dirty. I want to blame a dog with dung on it, but even so, drug dealers and corporate organizations couldn’t be the same. At least the corporate mafia does the legitimate thing in front of them. Dirty work is the same, of course, but much better than an outright dirty drug dealer.

By the way, there must be a drug ban in the mafia code. It’s not absolute, but can you break that and still call it a mafia?

It’s a fucking ambiguous question, but if they say mafia, call me mafia. It doesn’t matter what you call them, since they’re the ones to be disposed of anyway.

-The Corleone family is currently pushing the Botticelli family using financial power through drugs. There are guys over there who don’t choose any means, so I think they may have taken refuge in the villa for a while.

“Italy…A gang of drug dealers…The boss…Ugh, the head!!!!”

-There, I expected to drip 5 copies. However, what is interesting is the name of the boss of the Corleone family.

“What?”

-The name of the boss of the Corleone family is Dio Corleone.

“I thought it was part 5, but it turned out to be part 3!!!!”

-The background is not Egypt, but it is.

Anyway, it was obvious that they would attack. Otherwise, there would be no big bends in Ana’s life curve.

If it weren’t for me, Ana in this lifetime would lose her father and one of her eyes. For some reason, the absolute fate of fate may have made her meet Ana and me right before that, but it is natural that she should stop it.

Whatever happens sooner or later. It will happen while we are on vacation, so you can handle it with both sides.

The next day after talking with Shion, even though they had played yesterday, the children woke up early in the morning and were full of thoughts of playing again.

“It’s a pajama party!”

“I’m full of thoughts to play in the morning”

Today, as promised yesterday, it looks like we’re going to have a pajama party. Staying up all night is not good for growth, but it is okay to spend a day playing with friends.

Besides, it is quite romantic for children to play all night. And when you become an adult, your stamina is so weak that it’s hard, so it’s good to make memories by doing it when you’re young.

Eden, who ate a lot this morning, went straight to her Ana’s villa to play. It was a bit early, but Ana was also up, so she welcomed us.

“Welcome, sister”

“Today, as I said yesterday, we’re going to have a pajama party. If you need anything, it’s better to prepare in advance.”

“What did you prepare, sister?”

“I think I’ll have to buy pajamas first.”

“From there?!”

Because our Eden doesn’t wear pajamas or anything like that when he sleeps. I sleep wearing comfortable clothes, but there is a problem with calling them pajamas.

“So shopping!!!! First of all, I’ll buy pajamas and buy everything I need, then take a nap!!!”

“Am I taking a nap?”

“That’s how we play all night. After a nap, we get up around dinnertime, eat, and have a pajama party!!!”

Eden needs to buy pajamas, and some of the ingredients are lacking, so she decides to go shopping in the morning.

After spending a few days at the beach where there are not too many people, it’s a bit old when you can smell the city air. You have to go out a little bit, but you can do some shopping if you go to the nearby downtown area.

“Please take good care of Ana today as well”

“Don’t worry. Our Eden likes it because it seems like he has a little brother.”

“When shopping, you pay with this. You can buy anything you want.”

“I’ll be grateful”

I got the card from Ana’s father. Well, it’s not that this side doesn’t have money either, but it’s not like I’m rejecting a favor like that. Rather, if her daughter goes out to play with her friends and doesn’t take care of anything, that’s a lack of conscience.

Soon after, everyone gets into the car and heads to the downtown area. It’s a secluded place, so I open the window and get a cool breeze while stepping on the accelerator.

Ana looked out the open window, her eyes shining, as if it was quite strange.

“What’s the matter?”

“No, older sister… That’s the first time I’ve opened a window in a car.”

“That’s simple, but why didn’t you do it? Anna, your house looks strict.”

From my point of view, the reason why I can’t open the car window is because of the assassination threat. If it’s a mafia boss, someone might come out with a gun and shoot it, but if you walk around with a car window open, even bulletproof glass won’t be meaningless.

I’d rather be in Korea. Since Korea is a gun-ban country, there is little to worry about getting shot on the street. I can’t say it’s completely absent, but it is.

The downtown area, which I arrived at after driving quite a bit because of the distance, was not a place with dense buildings like the city center, but it was a neighborhood with at least one large mart. Thanks to that, she seems to be able to get pretty much anything.

“I buy anything I want to buy other than pajamas. Ana’s dad gave me a card so I don’t have to worry about money.”

“Then should I buy something like a snack? Because I need a late-night snack to eat at night!!!”

“It’s good to have a late night snack. But it’s a bit much to grill meat at night, so let’s cut out some meat.”

“Wait a minute, then I’ll have to edit about halfway through the shopping list.”

“Was it half meat?!”

Although it is said to be downtown, it is not a very crowded neighborhood. Maybe that’s why outsiders, and a party full of beauties like ours gathered, so their eyes were focused.

Also, I wanted to have a person who could be a mess, but there was no such problem because Ana and her father’s side had members of the gang. At first glance, the boy who looked like a knave looked at Eden with sinister eyes and approached, but when he saw some of the gangsters secretly showing guns, he ran away in fright.

Thanks to that, we were able to shop without worry and bought what we needed for the pajama party. Eden bought character pajamas that fit her age but didn’t fit her body, and she managed to find the size.

“Look at this!!! It’s a bunny pajama!!!”

“You’re cute, unnie. Well, I’d like to buy something like animal pajamas too…”

“Then how about Ana’s pajamas? This is cute too.”

“There are penguins here too”

“Penguin reminds me of Pororo”

“Jihee unnie. When it comes to penguin characters these days, it’s not Pororo, it’s Pengsoo.”

“I don’t have much of an age gap with you guys, but am I using words like kids these days?!”

I think Eden and Jihee were about 10 years apart. At that point, there will be a generation gap.

Isn’t it only 10 years? In those 10 years, it’s about the same as the Lion King, GaoGai, and the Transformation Car Tobot. GaoGaiGeo aired in Korea in 1999 and Tobot started airing in 2010.

No, come to think of it, there is a really big generation gap. Still, I personally like that better than 3D animation.

It wasn’t like a department store, so it wasn’t expensive or had a variety of designs, but the kids enjoyed shopping. There, you can buy sweets to eat all night and board games by type.

“Burmarble!!! It would be fun to do this while playing games all night!!!”

“If it’s a capitalist game, you won’t lose”

“But why is it called Bulmarable, sister? Isn’t it Monopoly?”

“Ah, looking at it, it’s a real Monopoly. Is it a fake?!!!!!”

“No, originally, Bulmarble was a copy of Monopoly.”

After buying everything, I have a lot of luggage. There are so many that even adult men feel heavy.

Well, it’s a bit harsh to have them carry the burden since all of them except me are girls. Ji-hee is an adult, so it may not be light, but the rest are all minors.

“Mister, should I drive when I go?”

“No, it would be hard to take care of the kids at night, but that’s okay. Um…”

“Why is that?”

“No, nothing”

I felt the gaze coming towards me. Thanks to the kids, of course, the eyes are focused, but among them, there was a gaze that seemed to have a specific purpose.

I glanced around and saw a guy of not very good quality hiding and looking this way. That’s Ana, not Eden or Eve.

……Hmm, it’s moving faster than I thought. I expected it, but at this level, is it going to happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

Actually, if you want to clean things up, you can straighten out the curve of Ana’s life, but if it’s right in front of her nose anyway, it’s better to just use your strength. And they are the ones who are targeting Ana, so we have to catch them and kill them.

After finishing the shopping, we return to the villa. Since I was the porter, Ji-hee offered to drive the car on the way home, but I refused. I can’t get tired with this much effort, and it’s a bit like letting a child drive when there’s an adult.

“I’ll drive when I go”

“Okay. How long will that take? I’m not tired enough to let the kid drive.”

“I’m not that kid”

“If you’re a newcomer to society, what are you still a kid?”

Just because your body is big doesn’t make you an adult. Even after becoming an adult, there are many adults who are not responsible, but if you think about it, Ji-hee is still a child. Adult care is required.

It was only because he was treated like a child, so Jihee put on a slightly pouty expression.

Seeing how he hates being treated as a child, it reminds me of Xion. Shion is like that too… But Ji-hee must have a different meaning than Shion and hate being treated like a child.

After returning to the villa, the children decided to take a nap to preserve their stamina for the pajama party to be held later in the evening. However, since the kids who are full of thoughts of playing can’t fall asleep right away, I barely fell asleep around 3:00 PM.

“I’ll play loud again later at night.”

“Jihee, wouldn’t it be good for you to get some sleep too?”

“I’ll sleep when I’m tired. I’m not sleepy right now anyway. But what about you?”

“I’m going to prepare dinner. Since it’s Italy, I thought I’d make a porchetta.”

“What dish is that?”

“Um, it’s a dish made by using whole pork belly with blood and stuffing the ingredients inside. The skin part is fully cooked, so it has a crispy cookie-like texture like Peking duck.”

“It sounds delicious just by listening to it!!! Can you help me?”

“It’s going to take a lot of work, but I’d appreciate it if you could help.”

Porchetta is actually not pork belly, but a dish made by rolling a whole pig. It’s just that it’s become a bit more modern. Rather, I personally feel that the taste is better.

First of all, you need a lot of ingredients, but the most important thing is, of course, pork. There must be pork belly with the skin on, so that it is later cooked crispy and has its own unique texture.

If you have eaten pork rind at a meat restaurant, there must be someone who has felt the chewy texture full of collagen. However, porchetta cooks and bakes the skin to make it crispy.

Almost to the point where air bubbles come up on the shell. Thanks to that, the taste is no joke.

“This is the pork belly for today.”

“Ahhhhh… I’m sure I’ll gain a lot of weight if I cut this and eat only one side.”

“Eden will eat most of it anyway. Well, we can eat it for a party with just one at home, but we’re worried that even if we use two, it won’t be enough.”

“Eden eats a lot”

“If my wife hadn’t been rich, my back would have been bent”

“Ah, you’re an impersonator, but if you make up your mind and earn money, Eden won’t be able to feed you?”

“Instead, I’ll have to bare my face. Then Eden won’t be able to live a normal life.”

“It’s not because of himself that the uncle hides his identity, but because of his family.”

“Is that so. Originally, the reason why heroes cover their faces is to protect important people. Iron Man openly said he was Iron Man, but he was terrorized.”

Cut the meat first. First of all, the meat is pork belly, so there is a lot of fat, so cut it in moderation and trim it with a knife in the shell.

Why is there a beehive shell? It kind of feels like that. The texture is much better if you make it as if you don’t put out a sheath for nothing. It’s even more so if you bake it and make it crispy.

After trimming the meat, make the ingredients to put in the filling. Herbs and other things go in, but Koreans use garlic. Scoop in the minced garlic several times with a large spoon and mix well with the herbs.

Then, after unfolding the meat, put the ingredients inside as if you were spreading out the ingredients for gimbap…….. Roll it as it is. This isn’t gimbap, so tie it with a cooking thread to fix it to the table.

“Put this in the oven and bake”

“How long will it take?”

“Well, the important part is the shell, so it will take about an hour or two to bake while turning it once in the middle.”

“I can’t sell it in stores.”

“I can’t sell it unless I give it piece by piece. I don’t know for a party, but for sales, the cost performance is bad.”

Perhaps, even if they sell, they will charge a certain amount for group customers. Even if you sell this piece by piece, there is not much profit left. It’s better to pay a higher unit price for party cooking.

Anyway, after a long time, Porchetta was completed. Finely cut and split shell. The shell was baked for a long time, so it was crispy enough to bubble up.

Before cutting, I scraped the outer surface with a knife and it was smooth!!! There was the sound of scratching something hard. It’s hard to think of it as meat, but it sounds as delicious as it sounds.

“Do you want to eat some?”

“Is Eden still sleeping? Maybe he’ll wake up soon…”

“It’s a chef’s privilege to taste a dish first when it’s finished.”

“It’s nice to have that privilege.”

Jihee and I decided to sample the finished Porchetta. As if playing an orchestra, scrape the crispy shell with a knife to make a sound, and slice lightly to the thickness of a finger to share.

It was made with a whole piece of pork belly, so it looked greasy or oily, but it didn’t bake in the oven for a long time, so it was baked until the skin was crispy.

And the ingredients made up for the slightly monotonous taste. The mixture of garlic and herbs removed the bad smell of pork and made the aftertaste refreshing.

“Mmmm, it’s so delicious!!”

“It’s worth making. It would be okay to make a sandwich with this and some vegetables.”

“I’d like to have it for dinner.”

I have no intention of ignoring the god, but considering the effort I put in, this is better than chicken. I don’t know about calories.

A delicious smell wafted through the air and it took a while for me to take a nap, so Eden smelled it and woke up. Squid rice bowl in the bedroom!!! A strange weather cry was heard.

And Eden, who came down from the bedroom with a bang, immediately stormed into the kitchen.

“Dad!!! Tonight’s squid rice bowl, right?”

“No, it’s Porchetta?”

“No!!!! Dad please!!!!!”

“Don’t hate eating”

“No, that’s not it”

The children start waking up due to Eden’s disturbance. It was evening and the sun was going down, but the children’s time had just begun.

“I woke up at sunset, so I’ll have to watch the sunrise tomorrow.”

No, how much are you planning to play?!
