Chapter 992 – [Ghostbusters!!!]

Returning home, we once again enjoyed a peaceful life.

Eden’s vacation is still a long way off, so I can have fun, and I went out and ran the store, so I didn’t have much to worry about.

To be honest, being at peace is a good thing.

“Eden, shall we cook with you today?”

“Wow!!!!! What are you making?”

“Shall we make an apple pie? Because there are a lot of apples.”

“Looks delicious!!!!!”

Just in that season, the tree of Eden in our yard had an apple again. Thanks to this, the price of apples in my house was solid, but on the other hand, I had to deal with the apples that were produced in large quantities.

If you decide to eat it, Eden will eat it all in one day, but it’s better to cook it than just raw apples. It’s good to make juice and eat it, and it’s good to make it as a dessert like today.

[What are you making~?]

“Did you get that tone from Eden?”

[Because we live together. Oh, I want to make it too!!!!]

“Then wash your hands.”

[Okay!!!!!]

Me and the two children gathered in the kitchen…… No, I wonder if Keter, who is Lu-Beana, can be treated as a child, but first of all, since he is a child of his mental age, I say so.

Anyway, we got together and prepared to make apple pie. I prepared the ingredients, so the next preparation process is to sift the flour through a sieve.

“In this way, add butter to the flour and mix it with a spatula as if cutting the butter finely.”

“Can’t you knead it with your hands?”

“Because what we’re making now is pie. Flour becomes sticky when it has moisture and heat. Did you see how the dough was just made? If Eden does as he says, it will become tart dough, not pie dough.”

“Mmmm, that’s right”

Add the butter and the well-mixed flour, this time add water and mix well again. Then, the dough made in this way is put together and made into a lump.

Put that chunk in a plastic bag and go straight to the fridge. Ripen for a while Cooking using flour is quite common, so this aging process is necessary.

“And in the meantime, I’m going to cook the apples for the apple pie. Now, I need to chop the apples into small pieces. Can I do that?”

“Uh!!!!”

[How do you peel?]

“You have to cut the skin separately.”

[There is a lot of nutrition in the skin]

“I don’t think apple pie would be good for health because it’s both tasty and nutritious, right?”

You can cook it with the skin on, but doing so will leave the apple pie with a bitter taste. Dessert is meant to be sweet, not bitter. I don’t know if it’s something that makes the sweetness stand out even more like chocolate.

Anyway, we cut the apples into cubes and put honey and sugar on a pan to cook them. The heat causes the sugar to gradually brown and melt.

On top of it, which soon became sticky brown and caramelized, sprinkle apples and simmer. Add a bit of butter to it as well.

“Wow!!!! It smells so sweet and delicious!!!!!!”

“Isn’t it? It’ll be delicious even if you eat it as it is.”

“Just a bite!!!!!”

“It’s hot, so you have to cool it down enough to eat it?”

“Uh!!!!!”

Eden and Keter each took a spoonful of the apple that had been boiled down, and after blowing it cool, put it in their mouths.

I honestly can’t taste it. Even so, sugar and butter are added to the highest quality apples with high sugar content, so the sweet taste that attracts people will delight your tongue.

“Sweet, delicious. I like the smell of apples.”

[Yes, yes, yes, it is sweet and delicious!!!]

I also tasted a little bit. As Eden said, it smells like apples.

Even though I put sugar and butter, it smells like this, so the taste of the apple is strong. In fact, I was going to add cinnamon here, but I left it because I thought adding cinnamon would make it taste worse.

After the apples were cooked, we took out the pie dough from the refrigerator.

It is well-aged and good for cooking, and it is spread thinly and flatly. Then, put the dough on the pie pan and press it into shape to hold the shape.

Then poke holes in the bottom of the pie dough with a fork. In technical terms, it is called pique, which means to pierce in French.

“Why are you doing this~?”

[Yeah, why are you doing this~?]

“Are you twins… Well, this is for the dough to be cooked evenly. Even if the dough is pressed into the pie mold like this, there is air at the bottom? You have to make a hole for the air to escape to make the dough. It will ripen like this.”

When you put it in the oven, it gets hot, which causes the air under the dough to expand. And the expanded air ruins the shape of the pie.

Pique is doing it to prevent that. Well, there are some things that are done to prevent the dough from shrinking, but you can tell us about that later as you deepen it.

Anyway, it’s almost done, so now I’m going to add an apple here. Apples usually turn brown when left in the air, but this one is coated in a shiny brown. It looks so appetizing, I put it on top of the pie dough and then put a slice of raw apple on top.

“It’s just like potato pizza. It looks like it’s topped with potatoes.”

“Even if it’s the same apple, cooked apples and plain apples taste different? That’s why I purposely put them in to have two flavors.”

Baking fruit makes it sweeter. You don’t have to go far, just look at the pineapple on Hawaiian pizza.

To be honest, I don’t really like pineapple pizza…But I quite like the baked fruit itself. Putting it on top of the pizza is a problem.

An apple cooked in sugar, honey, and butter, and an apple that was just grilled on one side. The two flavors are different, so the flavors mix in the mouth and become more delicious. I aim for that point and make it like this on purpose.

And finally, put a cover on top of the pie. I will use my hands a little more to make it into a net shape.

“Wow!!!! It’s pretty!!!!!”

“Now I just need to apply egg wash on this and bake it.”

“Why are you using egg wash?”

“Then the dough will be more golden brown and cooked beautifully.”

I was about to put the finished pie in the oven, but it was quite large, so I called Yesto.

[Why?]

“Bake some pies. I don’t think I can bake them all at once because there are so many of them.”

[If I could give you one, I would.]

“I was thinking of giving it to you even if you didn’t tell me.”

[Then I know]

Before long, Yessto used his powers to bake pies.

Of course, it does not mean that the firepower is good to bake at once. It’s because the problem of things that can’t cook is because they have the mindset that they bake for 3 minutes with high heat instead of 10 minutes with low heat. If you want to eat really good food, you also have to learn to wait a long time to cook.

Anyway, thanks to Yesto, I was able to bake that many pies at once. Thanks to that, the kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of apple pie being baked.

“Wow! It looks delicious!!!!!!”

“Then shall we have a taste? Eden, go and get your mother.”

“Uh!!!!!”

Eating together. That’s our house motto.

Eden brought not only Zion, but also Mangmung and Koyang. Since Adam was inanimate in the first place, he couldn’t eat it, but he brought children who could eat it.

Even if the cat is Elizabeth’s body, the cat is a normal cat, so I wonder if it’s okay to eat it, but the cat is different from a normal cat after learning witchcraft using spiritual power, so it doesn’t hurt to eat a little bit. If it was going to burn, I would have dried it in the first place.

“Dannae goes up to the 2nd floor. I think I made an apple pie well”

“It’s because I like apples, so what?”

“But are you trying to sell apple pie?

“I can eat everything!!!!!”

“……My daughter, even if you can eat everything, eating too many sweets is bad for you.”

“Shion, I don’t think you have anything to say.”

“I don’t gain weight even if I eat, so it’s okay!!!”

“No, it’s steamy.

My wife’s eating habits were at such a level that if it wasn’t for me and for Shion and Hanon, she would have developed an adult disease in a year.

Snacks, food with high calories and rich taste, spicy, salty, and sweet food, no carbonated drinks or zero-sweetened drinks… It’s a blessing that my real wife was born as Hanon.

That’s why at least Shion can’t say anything about Eden’s eating habits. That part is what I have to do for Eden.

“I did a lot, though. There are so many apples… Let’s give some to the neighbors and then go to the store and serve the rest.”

“Are you going to sell it at Dad’s store?”

“It will probably be”

“Then don’t eat it all and have some left over!!!! Sell it at the store and let the customers know if they enjoyed it!!!!”

“My daughter likes to eat herself, but she seems to like eating others too.”

“It’s definitely a grandmother’s mind”

Still, it’s good that Eden can think of others, not selfish thoughts. Because thinking only of herself is a bad idea, as is thinking only of others.

You should be able to take care of your own comfort to some extent and be able to do that. That’s what it’s like to be human

…….Kilhyeon who gives up his own life to help others is a bastard. All right

The kids also eat snacks and spend time leisurely enjoying the air conditioning in the hot summer weather. The leftover apple pie will be set aside for now and distributed to neighbors later. Oh, and, of course, bring something to take to the store.

Then I felt a familiar sign pass in front of my house, and I went outside just fine. Ji-hee was walking there, sweating profusely as if she had been to school.

“Jihee, you’re having a hard time today. The weather is hot. Are you okay?”

“Ah, mister!!!!”

“He baked an apple pie. Come in and eat one to cool off. I made so many, I think I’ll throw them away if I leave them alone.”

“Apple pie?”

Women love sweets. Each person is different, but they all have one thing in common.

The same goes for Ji-hee, who is still young. Besides, if you’re sweating on such a hot day, you should eat something to cheer you up. Sugar is good there. It’s because it’s the heat right now.

“Come in and eat a piece and go. I’ll pack one for you, so take it and share it with your parents.”

“Then……Excuse me.”

The weather is not unusually hot because of global warming. My house is at least air conditioned, but thanks to that, I don’t want to go outside except for Jerosto. Even active nerds get scared and come in when they go outside for a while.

I served a piece of apple pie with cold iced tea. And in addition to that, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Delicious things plus delicious things are fucking delicious!!!!!

It will be very delicious by such a formula. I don’t think it’s too sweet, but that’s why I deliberately burned the iced tea lightly. If you drink it, your thirst will go away, but the subtle sweetness will rather crave apple pie.

“Ah!!! It looks delicious!!!!!”

“Eat and tell me if it’s not enough. I’ll give you more.”

“Then let’s eat well!!!!”

As if she was thirsty because of the heat, Ji-hee quenched her thirst by drinking a sip of iced tea and then started working on apple pie in earnest. Crispy pie shell, stewed apples and baked apples like apple jam inside.

It’s moderately different, so if you eat it with vanilla ice cream on top of it, it’s soft and the sweetness and aroma of the apple fills your mouth. Besides, it’s cool, so it will be even more delicious in this hot summer.

“It’s so delicious!!! The apples are crunchy and good!!!”

“So?”

“Yes, I think it’s better because I can feel the sweetness of honey as well as the sweetness of sugar.”

“Yes?”

Normally, you only feel the sweetness, but you wouldn’t know that honey was added to it. Because of the sweetness of apples and the sweetness of sugar, it is normal not to feel the sweetness of honey hidden there.

It’s been like that before, but Jihee’s taste is pretty good. If there are advantages to this side, it would be nice to go that way…….. I wonder if the parents are interested in the child.

“How’s the kids doing? You don’t touch them these days?”

“Ah, yes. These days, they rather avoid me. How did they do that?”

“Well, in the end, since they’re kids, they’ll understand what adults say well. They’re clever kids, so they’ll be smart, then you just have to calculate your gains and losses and make them feel like you’re losing money.”

However, he threatened that he might suffer extra-large damage there. The biggest loss is the loss of life.

Thanks to this, Ji-hee’s school life seems to be okay. It’s better not to be interested in those guys, so it’s better to come out with indifference.

“By the way, isn’t it vacation? Isn’t there nothing to do in the morning? Why are you going to school at this time?”

“Because it’s vacation, the academy runs a special vacation lecture.”

“That’s true…”

“Still, it’s vacation, so I like it because it’s more spacious than other times.”

Ji-hee and I had a conversation that wasn’t very poetic. And Ji-hee eats two pieces of apple pie and goes home with a good pie.

“If you say it was made by you, your parents will eat it too.

At least if it’s my dish, I won’t throw it away. I want to throw it away, but if it’s that house that controls what the kids eat, it might not let them eat sweet things like apple pie.

I do a lot of nonsensical things, so I shouldn’t think of common sense. So it’s better to be sure.

“Then see you next time mister!!!!”

“Okay, bye”

Ji-hee leaves, and Shion, who was with the kids upstairs, comes down again. Watching Ji-hee return to her house across the street from her, Shion sighs.

“That child is in trouble too.”

“I mean”

“Can I really not use my hands?”

“I’ve said it before. There’s little we can do for a child under parents.”

At least, if this is the United States, you can sue for child abuse and take away your parental rights. It’s a neighborhood with a babysitter because it’s treated as abuse even if you leave a child alone at home. It’s not for nothing that Timmy’s unstoppable guardian angel hires Vicky, even if it’s a half personality.

“Instead, you can apply when you become an adult. At that time, you will be able to do whatever you want.”

“I’d love to”

Maybe I think the relationship with my parents will be ruined before then. I don’t think you can stop it if you know, but I won’t.

Children are mirrors of their parents. So parents will pay the price for what they did to their children in the future.

At that time, they will know their own mistakes.

Well, by then, even if you regret it, it will be too late.
