Chapter 620 – [Cultural Festival]
I checked the location of the booth announced by the student council.
It’s far from the cafe, but it’s not too far, but it’s still a good place. I think the fact that I received a recommendation from a cooking professor worked as a good result.
“But at a festival like this, security is also important. What about the most important security forces?”
“First of all, there are fantasy talents who reside in the academy, and there are students who do not participate in the competition. If they are at their level, they can mediate the general public and maintain peace.”
“It’s a pretty good way.”
The academy finally reached the waters of a kingdom.
Oh, it’s not anchored yet. We need a few more days to dock.
The fact that a lot of guests come only when the seats are good is not just for us. The academy also docks when it arrives at a famous port city that is a little busier than a port city in a rural area, so a lot of people come in.
If you think about it, this also feels like deciding which country will host the Olympics in a sense. Well, it can’t be helped that various economic benefits occur.
As the Great Demon King who presides over society, I do not deny bad things.
Solicitation and corruption are inevitable. Buying a box of fruit and asking for it to be done quickly is a request and a bribe.
I understand the solicitation and corruption that are understandable to a certain level.
However, if innocent people are harmed there, then it is not worth it. In the previous life, in the Martian civilization, they tore off their limbs and tortured them by putting them in a virtual space.
“The cultural festival will start soon. Let’s all work hard!”
“What if you work hard?”
“Didn’t you know? There are so many prizes and prizes!”
“Oh, then you have to work hard”
It’s not particularly regrettable enough to be necessary, but it feels good to receive it.
It’s better than just not giving a perfect attendance award. Just work as hard as you can and that’s it.
“In the morning and early afternoon, Ruby and I go to the store separately, and the rest of the staff work at the cafe in the meantime, so people will come.”
“Are you okay there alone?”
“I don’t know if I’m selling alcohol, but I’m fine when I’m selling snacks”
Making honey skeins is quite difficult. It’s because it’s the same as pulling out.
It doesn’t come out like going to Insa-dong unless it’s made by a fairly skilled person. It doesn’t come out evenly in the middle, or it’s like it’s cut off.
If I make a decision and make it, it doesn’t take too long to make a skein. The ingredients are already prepared, so it’s enough for me to work hard and have someone to look at the counter.
And that person is Ruby. Solicitor + Counter! I can do that much!!!
“Don’t worry and leave it to me!!!! I hope you make a lot of money and get first place in the general department!!!!”
“Dream big too. Compared to other club activities, our scale isn’t that big.”
“Why don’t you dream a little bigger? Dreaming is as free as it is!!! So I’m going to dream of becoming a continental champion!!!!”
“No, that’s a pretty realistic dream.”
Rather, would it be more realistic than eating first place in the general department?
No matter how good my cooking skills are, it is impossible to beat the number of people. I wouldn’t know if I was determined and sold it expensively for aristocrats, but my skill itself was inferior to mine, but my outstanding wealth was involved in this cultural festival.
Even if I serve, there are only dozens of people. But on the other side, hundreds of people see it easily. The number of people in the department and the number of guests it can handle are different.
“You have to really work hard and sell well to be on the list of top rankings.”
“You have to know it!!!!”
“Okay. Let’s work hard. But you haven’t eaten yongsudang, have you?”
“What is it?”
“I’ll make it for you. You have to try what the solicitor is actually selling.”
I made one dragon allowance, and Rubys started eating it, his eyes shining.
Even though it can grow, it is deliberately eaten in a small state. Is there some reason?
“When you want to eat a lot of delicious food, it’s better to eat it in a small state! If you eat it when you’re big, it’s a bite, right?”
“You live very comfortably.”
“After all, being small is convenient!”
“You’re making a sound that’s a blessing because you can grow. What will other fairies say?”
“Um… Can you give me mine too?”
“Is the society of giant fairies strong against the jungle?”
Soon it was the opening day of the cultural festival.
Early in the morning, we, to be precise, all the students gathered and headed to the auditorium. With all the students gathered, the large auditorium felt cramped.
It’s going to be an opening ceremony for the cultural festival, but due to Ruri’s personality, she won’t talk about trivial matters. She was like that at the entrance ceremony in the first place, but what?
This time, Ruri will simply come out and say a few words and start as it is.
[Ahhh! Can you hear me? Today is the long-awaited cultural festival day! Honestly, every time I do a cultural festival, I feel like I’m blooming on the other hand, how nice it is!!! The budget is always right!!!!]
Also ruri.
[Anyway, those who have tried it, do their best this year! If you haven’t tried it, follow your seniors or acquaintances and work hard! Don’t worry, I’ll cover the truth if there are any!]
Oh, that’s nice
It’s pretty much everything in my name, but few outsiders know that I’m the prince.
[Ruler!!!!! Then this year’s cultural festival begins!!!!!]
Applause and cheers poured in along with Ruri’s powerful voice.
That became a signal, and the Academy’s cultural festival began.
* * *
I returned to my booth.
Even if you say a booth, it’s all a table and chairs. The full-fledged business will start in the evening when the kids come back after finishing the cafe.
In the meantime, I sell water sugar and honey skeins in front of the booth. I was wondering which word would be better to use, but here I decided to stick to the Korean language rather than Chinese characters.
“I ordered it separately, so I’ll bring the ingredients from the business before dinner. Until then, let’s make a skein of honey.”
“What did you order?”
“Seafood and Takju. Something like that.”
It’s called takju, but in the end it’s makgeolli. Since rice was the staple food of a kingdom, there was no reason why makgeolli could be made with it.
If you soak it with wheat, it’s beer, and if you soak it with rice, it’s makgeolli. This was a common national rule no matter where you went in the dimension. Well, as long as the ingredients are not different, the repertoire that can be made with them is similar.
“Anyway, bring your guests. It’s perfect if you just call them to the theme park of dreams and hopes.”
“What else is that?”
“Go! Tinkerbell!”
“That’s what Xeon said when he saw the moth!!!!!!”
“Giant Moths… Army… Tinkerbell… Ugh, the head!!!!!”
Anyone in a military base with a rich natural environment, such as Gangwon-do, would have seen a giant moth at least once.
I saw something like that often while I was in the military. I was called Tinkerbell as a joke, but Xeon is the same. As expected, if you are a man from Korea, you cannot miss the story of the military.
“I’ll be back anyway!!!! If you bring a lot of guests, give me a skein of honey!!!!”
“I see you doing”
“Oh yea!!!!!”
Ruby buzzed and ran around in fairy form. Maybe after a while he will come back soon.
The cultural festival has started, but it does not immediately become crowded. As if the amusement park was empty when it just opened, it took time for people to come in and play.
In the meantime, I checked the ingredients and various things. It’s because it’s good to take care of the ingredients in case you run out of work.
The catering industry should be well prepared like this. It’s hard to prepare like this, and at the point where you don’t bother, he doesn’t deserve to sell food.
No, if you don’t do that and cook and sell it, why do people buy it? I’d rather eat it.
“I’m here!!!!!”
“Wow!!!!!!”
“It’s a fairy, it’s a fairy!”
“Waaaaa!!!!!”
I brought only guys like Ruby. No, they are really kids.
No matter where their parents had left it, only the children came running and started to crowd it.
“What about the kids’ parents?!”
“I told you where the booth was. Well, even if you get lost, the student council will look for you separately, so it’s okay.”
“Don’t make me a lost child in the first place”
Most of them are children under the age of 10. At least the taller kids look like middle schoolers, but the average age is too young.
But a guest is a guest. Even if it’s a no-kids zone, in the end, it’s not the child’s fault, it’s the parents’ fault for not disciplining such a kid properly. Even kids are worth working for.
“Brother! Brother! What do you sell here?”
“The fairy just said that they sell really delicious food!!!!”
“Isn’t that flour?”
“Come on, look here for now.”
Maybe it’s because I’m still a kid, there are a lot of kids who don’t even know who I am and treat me comfortably. Oh, that’s a good rule Children are innocent and easy to deal with.
Being pure doesn’t mean being nice, but it still means knowing if you teach me. Pure white is easily stained.
“Jam, here’s a lump of melted sugar.”
“But why is it yellow?”
“It’s because I added lemon juice. Even if I just eat sugar, it’s sweet and delicious, but if I add fruit, it’s even better, right?”
“If you mix the fruit syrup my mom made with water and eat it, it’s so delicious!!!!”
“I want to eat lemonade”
They are also children of a kingdom. Originally, sugar is a luxury in undeveloped places, but children easily eat dishes with sugar in their mouths.
That means it’s easy to get sugar here. It’s expensive, so I can’t buy it often, but I eat it without getting bored.
“Now, let’s make a hole in the middle of this lump of sugar and stretch it out.”
“Wow, it’s growing so much!”
“At first, two strands. If I weave this and stretch it again… Since it doubled, how many strands would it be?”
“Two plus two……Four!!!!”
“Yes, that’s right. Then what if we do another four plus four here?”
“A total of eight!!!”
The children were staring at the ever-growing skein of honey, their eyes shining.
If you see something like this at an age where you have a lot of curiosity, you can’t just pass by. Even if their parents called and urged them, their eyes would go to them because they wanted to see even a little more.
The noisy kids were watching me weave and make honey skeins in a quiet state.
“Eight plus eight equals sixteen. Then sixteen plus sixteen?”
“Oh, um…”
“Thirty two.”
“Um, that’s right. After all, big-headed kids are good at calculations like this, right?”
They seem to be able to do simple arithmetic, but it was difficult to do complex calculations mentally because they were still young.
When the number moved to double digits, the answer came from some big-headed kids over 10 years old.
Hmm, it seems that even one kingdom has its own education. You can know the level of the people by looking at the level of education there.
“Thirty two plus thirty two equals sixty four. Then again sixty four plus sixty four equals one hundred twenty eight.”
“Uh……..”
“Bag? What is a bag?”
“The teacher of the medal said that if there are 10, it is 100.”
“Wow!!!! There are so many!!!!!”
But it doesn’t end here. It is because the honey skein goes beyond ten thousand.
“One hundred and twenty-eight, two hundred fifty-six, five hundred and twelve. And one thousand twenty-four!!!”
“Cloth…….!!!!”
“Ah!!! My uncle said he would come if he slept a thousand nights!!!! Are there that many thousand?”
“If you weave this a few more times….. Sixteen thousand three hundred eighty four!!!!!”
“The sugar is like a thread!!! Awesome!!!!!”
“It’s like a silk thread!!!!”
It took only about ten minutes to weave a skein, even though I mixed some words.
In addition, there are things that I secretly did for the kids to see, so if you make it with your mind, it takes less than two minutes to make one. When there are a lot of guests, you have to hurry.
“Cut it like this, put peanuts or walnuts inside, and roll it up…… Voila, the honey skein is complete!”
“Looks delicious!!!!!”
“It’s the first start today, so this is a service. I’ll give it to you one by one.”
“Wow!!!! Thank you hyung!!!!!”
I’m not in the business just to make money anyway. Besides, they’re kids.
I don’t know if it’s a child who abuses the indulgence of being a child, but if it’s a child who is in the middle of his innocence, it’s good to make at least one memory like this when he’s young.
Those memories last a lifetime. It is also the story of my experience as a reincarnated person.
It is often said that what remains is a photograph, because what remains of reincarnated people is more mental than material.
“You!”
“Ah! It’s mom!!!”
Slowly, people began to come in to pay. Originally, even adult wallets became lighter in front of children.
Let’s get ready to play with our hands quickly!!!
