Chapter 1964 – [Kimjang-Cheol Comes to the Zombie Apocalypse World as Well]

The Mayor’s Association’s kimchi began immediately. First, we start pickling the cabbages that were brought in by soaking them in salt water.

A lot of people came to make kimchi. In particular, the ladies who said they had tried making kimchi came running to help while laughing. Of course, men also come running and help with the hard work.

“Oh my, look at this cabbage. It’s so good.”

“That’s right. I’ve never seen cabbage like this before the world fell apart.”

“It’s so true that my husband is like that.”

“What? The pickled ones aren’t that big, what are you talking about, you woman?”

“No, did you see it?!”

“I didn’t see it, but it’s obvious if I listen to it at night.”

“No, this person!?”

It is a place where food ingredients are grown using seeds given by Eden, but even so, the cabbage delivered directly from Cherubim is unique. It’s sturdy, crunchy, and sweet.

If you make kimchi with this… Wow, it is certain that you will make kimchi so delicious that it can be compared to the way we make kimchi every year with cabbage grown in the Garden of Eden.

Plus, the seasoning is the same. Make a marinade by adding various ingredients such as red pepper powder, radish, and salted fish. In fact, kimchi is made by coating pickled cabbage with a sauce so delicious that it tastes just like rice.

At the same time, I am amazed to see Eden seasoning the food with just the right amount of exquisite skill, just like everyone else.

“I told her she was the President’s daughter, and she said she was crazy about making kimchi. How can she be so good at making kimchi?”

“The pretty girl is good at cooking. Won’t you get along with my son?”

“The lady’s son may be a good man, but I don’t think he’ll be my type. I like a man who is strong enough to protect me and is family-oriented.”

Judging from the fact that Eden can easily ignore the ladies’ verbal jokes, it seems like Eden has become an expert in that field. No, and if you want to marry Eden, you have to beat me first!!!!

First, I made kimchi and organized various traffic arrangements. It is said that if there are many boatmen, the boat will go to the mountains, and as there are many ways to make kimchi, there were many people talking about it.

“No, what kind of person’s kimchi has so many ingredients?”

“In that case, the only seasoning that goes into it is red pepper powder and radish?”

“It tastes better when the ingredients are thick!!!!”

“Are you eating kimchi or the ingredients?!”

“Now, calm down. Kimchi tastes just as good as the homemade, right? I’m not going to make one or two bunches of kimchi today anyway, so let’s classify it separately.”

Kimchi from the southern region tends to contain a lot of ingredients. In addition to salted fish, in Gyeongsang Province, they also add things like cutlassfish. When you eat fermented cutlassfish, the bones are so soft that you can eat several bowls of rice in one sitting.

Anyway, there are differences in how to make kimchi from region to region and region to region, so you need to distinguish them and keep them separate to avoid major problems later. If you say you like this or that for no reason and then ruin the kimchi, you will regret it all year long.

If you really can’t make kimchi, you sigh every time you take it out. At least I don’t see things like that when I’m here.

Thanks to this, although the factions were divided, it was an opportunity to strengthen friendship among each other. Of course, not only women but also men helped with the main labor of carrying large red darai filled with cabbage and seasoning sauce.

“Eden, leave this here.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“Oh my, the president of a unified Korea is very strong. How can he move two such heavy objects at a time?”

“I’m not an ordinary person. This is all I can handle.”

We make some kimchi… And prepare something to eat for those who worked hard today.

Things that are delicious to eat with kimchi. Pork belly, boiled pork, and ramen are airlifted. I wonder why ramen is like that, but since this is a world a few years after its destruction, there is no ramen.

It may seem like it can be preserved for a long time, but surprisingly, ramen does not last that long. Since the noodles are fried in oil, they become rancid after a few months and give off an oily smell.

But on the other hand, freshly fried ramen tastes better than ordinary ramen. To that end, I brought something that had been separately produced and stored in Cherubim.

“Oh, ramen is good too. How long has it been since I had ramen…”

“Don’t you eat at Eden’s store?”

“You can eat it, but it’s not even a snack bar, so ordering ramen there is a bit weird. So I only ordered the meal menu, but now I can eat like this.”

“It will be delicious because it has just been fried. The packaging is just made properly, but the taste will be the same as the famous product, so don’t worry.”

Boil and grill meat, boil ramen, and cook rice on one side.

Impatient people were making kimchi on grills with meat that hadn’t even been heated yet. However, when eating meat, it tastes better if you stir-fry it with sour kimchi, but since it was kimchi that was not available in the first place, people did not pay much attention.

“Is this kimchi? It’s delicious!!!!”

“Give me more!!!!”

Although there are differences in likes and dislikes, it only applies to kimchi alone. There are only people who like stir-fried kimchi or kimchi eaten with meat. Perhaps that’s why children who taste kimchi for the first time brighten their eyes and scream for more.

Adults also enjoyed the meal as soju, makgeolli, and alcohol were served, making it a very festive atmosphere. Although kimchi was originally an annual event, there was an even happier feeling, perhaps because it happened after the world had collapsed.

“Wow, look at how soft the meat is. How long has it been since I’ve had pork…”

“Wow, eating boiled pork with kimchi and makgeolli on top.”

“A toast to the president of a unified Korea who provided us with kimchi, meat, and ramen today!!!!!”

“Cheers!!!!”

“Our president, who abandoned the people and went to Jeju Island, is a dick, but the president over there is the best!!!! I want to move over there!!!!!”

No, that’s a bit.

Even now, the support I provide is something I have done at the risk of many losses and problems, but if people from this side immigrate to our country in earnest, it becomes a different problem because they are refugees.

At least in the previous Aiol civilization, it was relatively easy because there was no room for judgment and reconstruction, but here, survivors have formed an organization and expressed their disapproval, but the government still remains and there is room for reconstruction. Even though it was possible to apply for it, it was difficult to receive it as a refugee.

If you do it wrong, you end up recommending migration as if you are actually forcing it on someone who is in a bad situation. The situation becomes even bigger if they also put in place a condition that all but a very small portion of the artwork received as compensation must be returned after civilization is rebuilt.

“Ah… Then you can’t move here.”

“I came here to help you directly like this at the expense of various losses. And you, too, would rather rebuild the land you were born and raised in, or are you going to abandon it here?”

“That’s true, but there will be people who think differently. How can we console those people?”

“Yes, please do so.”

It looks like he has really grown as a leader even though we haven’t seen him in a while. Although he still lacks many things, he is still a capable leader. I don’t think I’m serving as the representative of the mayor’s union for nothing.

Anyway, the festival continues all night long. We had a great time eating, drinking and talking, getting very drunk.

Eden ate too, but today she ate what others gave her more, so she ate a moderate amount and looked at them with a happy expression. As a member of Eden’s Choi family, when I think about their altruistic values, just seeing them eating deliciously seems to fill my will.

“It’s worth the preparation.”

“That’s right.”

I was wondering what my father-in-law was doing, and he was eating boiled pork with kimchi nearby. People seem to like the soft texture of boiled pork more than anything else.

Then he roughly summarized what to do here and told me.

“I would like to restart the power plant and supply electricity, but since I can’t afford to do so, I will install a solar generator and use it to be able to supply electricity on my own. In case I have to repair it here, the structure of the generator is as simple as possible. I’m going to make it happen, and I’m thinking of separately teaching our technicians about it.”

“I’ll ask you to do that, father-in-law.”

“Okay, but this milky drink is okay… It’s a little sour, but I like it. Is the milk fermented?”

“That’s alcohol, father-in-law!!!! No, why are you drinking at that age?!?!”

“Well, I’m an adult, so there’s no problem.”

“Apart from that, you shouldn’t drink alcohol when you are in your prime physically. Drinking alcohol at a young age will only have negative effects when you grow up!!!!”

“Kaaak!!! Stop, Dad!!! Splatdam what!!!!!”

Oh, that’s right. Now that I think about it, Eden was a child who drank alcohol confidently even though he was underage. When I think about that time… I’m still thankful that I grew up well.

Anyway, the night passes like that. Making kimchi was hard work, and all the survivors complained of fatigue and hangovers because they worked together and drank too much. Meanwhile, Eden joins the restaurant and makes soup for breakfast.

The menu is dried pollack hangover soup. It is a delicious hangover soup made by boiling bean sprouts, radish, etc., Adding pollack, and adding an egg to the cool soup. In addition, it is good for recovering from fatigue because it is not simply boiled, but water is supplemented with purified water.

“Huh? Surprisingly, there are eggs? It’s a fresh food, but are there chickens?”

“Yes, cows and pigs have a hard time eating a lot of feed, so I gave them some chickens to breed. We get eggs from the poultry farm, so we have eggs.”

“I guess I should eat it cooked instead. There are hygiene issues, otherwise I’ll get food poisoning.”

Still, I am raising livestock, and I am quite relaxed. Later, with further development, we might be able to raise cows and pigs as well. At least cows can be used for farming…

Afterward, Eden and I cooked pollack hangover soup and served it to people. After drinking heavily, they were amazed as they sipped dried pollack hangover soup, which was like a magic potion that relaxed them and recovered from fatigue, or ate rice.

“Wow, my stomach feels relieved.”

“Wow, I’ve never had hangover soup like this even before the fall.”

“Thank you so much, Mr. President!!! And the President’s Lady!!!!”

“There’s more, so if you want more, don’t worry, just let me know!!!!”

I’m glad I ate well just like yesterday. It is worth coming.

Afterward, I do other things besides making kimchi. As the father-in-law said, he decided to focus on installing a solar generator to easily supply electricity and related work, and Eden began treating the injured by purifying water. Although purified water was used in dried pollack hangover soup, it is better to spray it directly on the wound if you want to treat it.

And I… Decided to take charge of the political part. I was in a situation where I had to go on vacation and work at the end of my term, but I had to deal with it, so I have no complaints. I made my own choice, so it would be unseemly to complain about it.

“Do you have some business to take care of? I’ll help you in any way I can, so don’t worry, just tell me.”

“There are a few. First and foremost is the expedition hunting issue.”

“Expedition hunting?”

“Yes, the zombies around here have been roughly eliminated, but there are still some remaining, and they are in a state of semi-hibernation as winter approaches. They are a threat, so we need to take this opportunity to eliminate them.”

“Well, even if there is only one zombie left, there is a chance that all remaining survivors will be infected.”

“We have vaccinated people find and kill these zombies. This is the best time to hunt them because they are less mobile and cannot get proper nutrition.”

“Normally, zombies hunt humans, but in winter, humans hunt zombies.”

“Because you have to be diligent. In today’s era, if you’re lazy, you’ll die.”

“Okay, then I’ll go around and kill whoever I see. That way, we can save resources for the expedition and things like that.”

“Ah… If you do, we’d be grateful!!! Please!!!!”

“Is there anything else besides that?”

“First, I need to invite a small group of survivors around me to join. I sent them news before, and they responded well, so I have to accept them. After researching, I found out that the place doesn’t have a bad reputation, so I’m thinking of accepting them. And…” 〈 Br〉

“And?”

“We will have to deal with the outlaw organization.”

“Oh, I thought there would be.”

When the world falls apart, there are always people who act like they do. Especially if it is a large-scale survivor organization like the Mayor’s Association, there will be a lot of people who will try to squander resources by making it their own.

While I’m running around scaring zombies, I need to work together to sort out a large group of outlaws.

“And there’s something important: I’m visiting from the United States, so we need to talk about it.”

“America? Now that I think about it, it seems like they’re pretty fine there, is that right?”

“Yes, the government was doing its job by protecting the main regions in some way. In Europe… The speed of spread was fast due to the proximity of Russia and Ukraine, so it was virtually wiped out, and we couldn’t pay attention to it.”〈 Br〉

“They probably don’t have time to spare, so the reason they’re contacting you is probably because of the vaccine.”

“I gave them a few samples as samples, but they seem to have failed to replicate.”

“That’s right. If it was a product that could be produced here in the first place, they would have told us how to produce the vaccine, not the finished product.”

Of course, on the other hand, it would be nice to give them a vaccine production machine… But hey, in order to extract, purify, and cultivate the necessary materials, we need to set aside a portion of the Horizon or Cherubim facilities. Moreover, the infrastructure is not in good condition, and the procedures are complicated and difficult to provide for products with excessive technology.

Why is it that when Gray visited me in the past and asked for permission to use [Earth’s Bookshelf], I deliberately asked for spatial technology and not dimensional technology. It is a matter of position and dimensional law.

Therefore, it is better for us to provide vaccines as we do now. However, this opportunity will allow us to increase the supply of vaccines, but it seems that the United States wants that.

Well, even if things get rotten, they say that even if the rich go bankrupt, it will last for three years, so there is nothing wrong with getting along well with the United States, where the government is still functioning. In addition, since America is a land of fraud, self-sufficiency is possible, so the possibility of reconstruction is high.

“But if the U.S. Knows, the Korean government also knows, so what about them?”

“You can ignore that, so don’t worry.”

“It’s easy to understand because you speak clearly.”

Since I’m a Marine, I’d feel terrible if the command center just popped up and jumped while I was blocking the zergling rush.

It seems that their patriotism disappeared when Korea fell.
