Chapter 921 – [Eden’s Occupation of the Kindergarten]

The children played for a while while swimming. Originally, when I was that age, I was full of energy, so after playing all day and taking a nap, my physical strength recovers, so I play to my heart’s content without worrying about tomorrow.

According to Jong-su’s father, the other side is going back tomorrow too. Ours is a 2 nights and 3 days trip and the other side is a 1 night and 2 days trip. Well, thanks to that, I got to go back on the same day.

“Beep!!! Beep!!! Beep!!!!”

“Otter, what’s wrong?”

“Beep beep!!!!”

The children, who had been playing well, turned their gaze toward it when they heard the cries of the otter.

And there was an otter on top of a rock carrying a fish a little smaller than its own body.

“Wow!!!! It’s a really big fish!!!!!”

“Did the otter catch it? It’s amazing!!!!!!”

The otter caught a fish and looked at something, but it was a fish I had never seen before. Oh, is that mountain trout?

“It seems like they live in a clean river.”

“But it’s the first time I’ve ever had a real natural product.”

“Didn’t you say you’ve been to the Sancheoneo Festival?”

“Everything sold there or caught by fishing is farmed. Real wild fish are rare.”

It seems to destroy dreams and hopes, but everything caught at such a festival is food. Real wild trout are few in number.

There’s a pool that’s big enough for water ghosts to spawn upstream here, so it’s probably the kids who live there, but I didn’t expect to see it like this.

“Piec!!!”

“Otter, do you want me to eat this?”

“Beep!!!!!”

“Thank you!!!!!”

It seemed that Eden had said that the otter had caught the mountain trout. Do you have a good taste with food……. When you see animals like that, they don’t seem to have much different behaviors from humans.

Eden came up from the valley holding the Sancheoneo with his bare hands and held out the Sancheoneo to me.

“Dad!!!! It’s a fish!!!!”

“Eden, this is what I said when I came yesterday.”

“That delicious fish?”

“Okay”

“Wow!!! It looks delicious!!!!”

“Give it to Dad and I’ll cook for you.”

“Uh!!!!”

There was only one, but it is still a natural product. Even though the season is winter, he grew up eating all kinds of good things in nature, so it’s better than food.

Of course, there are some that are better than wild-caught, but at least that’s not the case this time. It’s a pretty big seed, so I think it’ll be delicious if you bake it.

“Oh, is Sancheoneo already available?”

“It’s just out of season, it’s not like they don’t live there. Some males stay in valleys and rivers all the time.”

Sancheoneo is a salmon order. Similar to salmon, during the spawning season, they go up the river, mainly females and not males. Of course, there is a difference in taste between males and females, but it didn’t really matter because I was just trying to taste it.

Jong-su’s father licks his lips while watching sancheoneo. However, I tried to grill it, but there was a different direction.

“It’ll be delicious if you cut it into slices.”

“I live in fresh water, but it’s also a natural product. If you eat sashimi, you can go crazy because of parasites. So it’s better to eat it cooked if possible.”

“Oh, that’s right”

Originally, freshwater fish have more parasites, but there are even more of them in wild fish. To be safe, it is best to eat it cooked.

I was wondering how to make it, but since there was foil, I decided to grill it in foil. Sancheoneo is also a salmon order, so that will suit you too. Besides, there are a lot of things to do during festivals.

First, I gutted the mountain trout and cut off the head. Then, cut it in half, divide it into two halves, and remove the bones.

On top of that, sprinkle salt and pepper to season. Hmmm…… Adults should add a little bit of salt. If you eat this, you will definitely want to drink. To be honest, I brought some soju. Kids can eat it as a side dish, but adults won’t drink it.

Anyway, after seasoning, leave it for a while, slice the onion, and shred the king oyster mushroom. Sancheoneo is a fish close to salmon, so it has a lot of oil, but the taste of onions and mushrooms cooked in that oil is sure to be delicious just by itself.

Afterwards, the seasoned mountain trout is wrapped in foil along with onions and mushrooms. I split one in half and came out about two, one for adults and one for children. Of course, the one the kids eat has fewer heads, so they can eat more.

I put the foil on the grill. I also added charcoal, so I didn’t have to worry about the fire, so the foil on the grill gets hot and cooks.

And gradually it smells delicious.

“It smells delicious!!!!”

“Really, it just smells fragrant and delicious. It’s not meat… Is it the fish that the otter caught earlier?”

The children who were playing in the middle of the day came up from the valley at the delicious smell. Even if you ate a hearty meal in the morning, if you play like that, you will be exhausted quickly, so of course you will be hungry.

Of course, the same goes for the otters who used to play with the kids. So I also grilled some squid and shrimp as a reward for catching the wild trout.

“Guys, it’s done. Let’s eat.”

“Wow!!! It looks delicious!!!!”

I took the finished dish off the grill and put it on the table. Then, when I opened the foil, there was a foil grilled mountain trout simmering in the oil from the mountain trout.

The onion and king oyster mushrooms, which seem to have been boiled before being thoroughly cooked in the oil of mountain trout, harmonize with the original scent to give off a better flavor. It seems to be very delicious that the savory smell vibrates.

“Can we both eat one meal?”

“Yes!!!!!”

“Eden will eat two!!!!”

He even brought out the heated Hetbahn, and the children began to enjoy a delicious meal with mountain trout as a side dish. Sancheoneo alone would be a bit lacking, but there are also onions and mushrooms, so it would be enough for a side dish with rice.

And the side with a little more salt is a side dish for adults. I sneakily took out a bottle of homemade soju from the ice box. By the way, the taste is a little different because it is different from the soju served to the president.

“It must have been delicious, let’s have a drink”

“I’ve never seen a bottle, is it soju?”

“It’s home-made soju. It tastes pretty good.”

As much as the children played, the adults also enjoyed the trip, so the drinking party took place. The day is still not bright, so it is broad daylight, but isn’t the original pleasure of travel is drinking in the daytime? I’m not going back tomorrow morning anyway, I’ll be back around noon.

Pour soju into the glass and soon taste the mountain trout in earnest.

The flesh of Sancheoneo is gently cut with only chopsticks, despite not using much force, and the flavor of the flesh trapped inside the flesh bursts out. Dip the pieces of meat into the oil on the bottom of the foil, put a little onion and king oyster mushroom on top to make a trio, and put it in a bite.

Because it is well cooked in foil, the flesh is not warm, so you can feel the hot energy. But even the heat could not beat the umami of the well-cooked fish.

The savory yet rich taste of the oil. In addition, the crispness of the onion and the taste of the oil-soaked mushrooms combine to create even more synergy. Moreover, thanks to the strong liver, it is slightly salty, so it automatically calls for alcohol.

“Ugh! This is really no joke. Jongsu’s mom, try eating this with alcohol. It’s really fantastic!!!!”

“Where……Ah!!!”

When I crave alcohol for the savory taste and pleasant salty taste in my mouth, I take a sip of my soju. The first taste is sweet, but then the bitter taste unique to alcohol comes up, and after that, the subtle apple scent fills the mouth.

When you exhale, the apple scent sweeps through your mouth and nose, leaving you with a refreshing feeling. It’s different from alcohol, so it feels good.

Because it is made by distillation rather than dilution, the alcohol content is about 30% higher than that of ordinary soju. However, unlike alcohol, it is very easy to drink, so alcohol goes well.

“If you have these skills, you’ll be successful wherever you go. I really admired Eden’s father.”

“Really, I really envy your cooking skills.”

“What is it? It’s good enough that you won’t starve anywhere.”

While enjoying a drinking party, while checking whether Eden was eating well, he discovered that there were surprisingly many mushrooms left in the foil.

Our Eden ate anything, so there was no way we could leave mushrooms alone. Besides, the mushroom is only left on one side… Ah, Jong-su left it.

“Ah, our Jong-soo hasn’t been able to eat mushrooms yet.”

“Really? Are you allergic to it?”

“Yes, I guess you don’t like the mushy texture or smell of mushrooms.”

Since I’m still young, I can’t help but cover up food. However, if it becomes fixed, you will cover it even when you become an adult.

Mushrooms are delicious food. If you grow without knowing the taste of such mushrooms, it is no different from seeing a loss.

I quietly spoke to Jong-soo.

“Jongsu, do you hate mushrooms?”

“Ah…Yes. It smells weird and it’s soggy, I don’t like it.”

“There are mushrooms like that. But the one you made is a little different.”

“Different?”

It is easy but difficult to correct children’s unbalanced diet. And the most important means is to make children have an interest in and appetite for the food they cover.

“Isn’t Sancheoneo delicious? It’s savory and greasy, and it’s the kind of taste that makes you want to put rice in your mouth when you take a bite, right?”

“Yes!!! It’s so delicious!!!!”

“But the mushrooms in here are mushrooms cooked in that type of mountain trout oil. The mountain trout oil dripping down while grilling boils, and the mushrooms cooked there soak in the oil and soak in the flavor. Besides, king oyster mushrooms are different from other mushrooms. Unlike mushrooms, it doesn’t have much of a distinctive scent, so it has almost no taste other than chewing.”

“Uh………”

“It’s probably only the smell and taste of mountain trout. But, unlike the plain taste of mountain trout, which lacks oil, mushrooms contain that oil, so the moment you chew them, the savory taste will burst out.”

“……….Gulp”

After eating my delicious dishes and explaining myself, it’s only natural that you’ll naturally whet your appetite. Jong-soo’s gaze was on the mushroom he had left before he knew it.

Then, carefully stretch out your chopsticks, pick them up, and take a bite.

Although it cooled down a little, the mushrooms soaked in savory and savory oil from mountain trout were delicacies on their own. This is one of the reasons why there are always mushrooms in the vegetable section of a mart or market.

“Oh!!!! It’s delicious!!!!”

“Yeah, isn’t it delicious?”

I smiled once and returned to my seat. Jongsu’s parents look at me with quite surprised faces and express their gratitude.

“I’ve tried everything to feed mushrooms, but I’m a child who hasn’t eaten… It’s amazing that you let me eat mushrooms like that. Thank you very much.”

“When a child is picky eating, it’s better to let them eat on their own rather than force them to eat. That way, any unbalanced diet can be corrected.”

Eden, who was listening to the story from the side, shouted as if refuting.

“I’m good at anything!!!!”

“Yes, yes, our Eden has nothing to cover, so Dad is very comfortable”

My parenting skills are perfect. It’s just that it’s my way of doing it, so there are a few things that other people don’t want to see, but at least I can do the basic part.

It’s as simple as fixing the unbalanced diet. It’s just that parents have to work hard.

The drinking party, which started in broad daylight, continued even after lunchtime. At least one mountain trout didn’t even bother the adults, so I continued to drink the leftover shrimp and squid that the otter gave me as a snack.

The children eat, rest for a while, and go back to the valley. I’m really not tired, so I’m going to play all day.

“I ate all the shrimp and squid. It’s a bit early, but should I prepare dinner?”

“Because there’s not enough snacks. We ate beef yesterday, so today’s main is pork, but what about that?”

“We bought lamb. Surprisingly, Jong-soo likes lamb.”

Ah, I think I’ve heard of it before… Anyway, lamb is good. No, meat is always right.

It’s a little early, but we prepared dinner. I took out the prepared pork belly and other parts of the pig, and then took out a large piece of lamb chops.

Great, you know the taste. Personally, I like lamb ribs among lamb. The feeling of eating the bone at the end after it has been thoroughly cooked is amazing.

“Compared to the soju you make yourself, it’s just a product for sale, but how about beer?”

“Of course it’s good”

I received a can of beer that Jongsu’s father ripped out of the beer pack. It’s still cool because it’s in an icebox.

I don’t have snacks, but after drinking soju, I get thirsty, so I open a can of beer and drink it right away. The cool carbonation and bitter taste unique to beer sweep your mouth and soothe your thirst.

Grill the meat while opening the beer like that. Pork belly on this side, lamb ribs on the other. The combination is different, but the smell of meat is the same.

And when the meat was grilled to some extent, the children came up for dinner this time. I just play and eat and play and eat all day, but that’s how travel is originally.

“It’s my favorite lamb!!!”

“Is lamb good?”

“Yeah!!! It’s so delicious!!!!”

Come to think of it, Eden has never eaten lamb yet. A lot of people don’t like mutton because of its unique smell… Well, our Eden eats well, so there’s no need to worry.

Haha, then, shall we try eating Jongsu’s favorite bandit?”

“Do you eat bandits?”

“Ah, before, Jong-su said he wanted to try it himself when he saw a bandit eating meat with bones on the bone. After that, whenever he cooked lamb ribs, he liked it.”

Oh, that can’t be helped Somehow they didn’t even cut the meat and just grilled it.

Jong-su’s father wrapped tissue paper around the bones of two well-cooked lamb ribs to make them easier to hold, and gave each to Jong-su and Eden.

With a little bit of exaggeration, seeing the kids holding meat half the size of their faces gives me a very hearty and hearty feeling.

“Enjoy your meal, Eden too.”

“Thank you sir!!!!!”

Although the lamb ribs are hot, the children eat them deliciously while blowing on them. Although the taste was not much different from cut and grilled meat, the mood was different. Besides, that also becomes a memory on the one hand.

To be honest, in the past, I also wanted to try eating watermelon by cutting it into large half-moon shapes rather than small triangles. If you think about it, the kids will be the same.

Children grill meat, and adults enjoy meat with alcohol. As we shared lamb and pork, talked and drank, it became night before we knew it.

By that time, the children went to their tents and fell asleep, probably from belated fatigue. And even if Nana and Shion, who are strong in alcohol, were second, Jong-su’s father also became a drunkard and went into the tent with Jong-su first.

Surprisingly, Jong-soo’s mother was strong in alcohol compared to her delicate appearance, so she still stayed.

No, on the other hand, it might be natural.

“I’ll have to clean up and go to bed soon. What about you two?”

“There’s a little more. I think we have something to talk about.”

“A story?”

I’ll tell you in advance. Jongsu’s family is clean. When I saw them, they showed no signs of hiding anything. Today’s meeting was just a coincidence.

Normally, I would have been wary, but looking at the family composition over there, I felt a sense of deja vu somewhere. I thought it was like our house, only the gender of the child was different, but in reality…

“Where is Jongsu’s mother from?”

“………..!!!”

Jongsu’s mother was not an ordinary person, but a military man.
