Chapter.20 A week in Korea

The appetizing smell that stands out along with the black soybean paste. Steam rising. Peas sprinkled exquisitely on top. And pickled radish next to it.

I picked up chopsticks. Jjajangmyeon is most enjoyable when you rub the noodles together. In that sense, I prefer plain Jjajangmyeon rather than mixed Jjajang on a tray. Personally.

“Why is this black?”

“It’s one of those spicy, delicious foods. I don’t know if it will suit your taste, but it’s what I like. “Try it.”

“oh! Is that so? Is it something you like? Then, even if it doesn’t taste good, I’m okay with it.”

Rurin left a heartwarming line and followed me, slamming her chopsticks into the black bean noodles. It’s so exciting.

“It’s like this... .”

The moment I tried to explain while looking at the steaming Jjajangmyeon. People came rushing into the restaurant.

“Please cooperate for a moment!”

Uddangtangtang! The police suddenly came in. At the same time, several people in the store began to quickly run away. Some of the guests.

As soon as you see your police ID, it means you’ve been stabbed a lot and are involved in some kind of crime.

“Catch them!”

The store was in chaos as the group attacked the police and started running away, obstructing official duties, and the police were also making a mess of the store to catch them.

One of them, a fugitive, began to scuffle with the police, and the aftermath spilled over to this table as well.

As a result, the table is a mess. No, even if it wasn’t a mess, the atmosphere wasn’t ready to eat.

Even if you choose, you have to.

“I’m sorry, please cooperate for a moment!”

To see if the restaurant itself was connected to a crime, the police began checking IDs and briefly listening to each customer’s circumstances.

This is difficult. We get criticized for not being able to eat, but first of all, Rurin and I are stateless.

I was reported missing and never recovered. Because there’s no point in leaving anyway.

And Lulin is a being who should not exist in this world.

Because of that, cooperation is impossible. In that case, it would be better to run away altogether. If it’s unavoidable, you can use Lulin’s spirit magic, but it’s impossible to eat at this restaurant anyway since such a commotion has occurred.

In that case, it’s best to just leave.

“Do you have any mana left to teleport Lulin?”

“Are there any left?”

“Then let’s go back to the hotel.”

“Is that necessary? Those guys are so annoying that they drop their food on the floor. all... !”

“Hold on, hold on, this is not where we live, so there’s no need to make a fuss.”

“Hmm, I understand!”

Lurin nodded and hugged me. At the same time, vision darkens.

Running away was no problem. However, there were many problems as I failed to eat Jjajangmyeon twice.

At times like this, I wonder if I’m under some kind of curse that prevents me from eating black bean noodles. Every time I go to a store, something that is difficult to experience usually happens.

I felt a little dumbfounded, so I laid down on the bed. The bed is incomparably softer than in the other world.

Then Lurin jumps along. Jumping on the bed and falling asleep is Lurin’s recent daily routine.

“You, you. Can’t I take this bed with me when I go back? “I think it’s better than what the dwarves made.”

“Hmm, there must be a better bed than this, right?”

“Oh oh! Is that so? Then let’s take it and go!”

“Uhm, I’ll buy it later.”

“I agree!”

Rurin puts sweet and sour pork into my stammering mouth. Are you telling me to shut up?

I can’t live. I can’t live. Still, the sweet and sour pork that came into my mouth was delicious. This is the first meal of the day.

“Okay, let’s not talk. Anyway, this is how you mix jjajangmyeon. If you mix it evenly, it will not be completely black but will turn into a nice shiny color. Oooh, nice smell!”

As I admired the smell of Jjajangmyeon, Rurin nodded and copied my actions. Yeah, no problem. The sunset is also at its peak. Lift the noodles with chopsticks.

Then, I looked around for a moment. Nothing happened. The worst thing about this situation is that it rains suddenly. It rained so heavily that it soaked the black bean noodles and sweet and sour pork.

Could it be that the worst-case scenario... .

I looked at the sky without thinking. But the sky was clear.

“Slurp.”

Feeling relieved, I chewed the noodles in my mouth.

My mouth is filled with Jjajangmyeon, which has started to swell a little. When it starts to blow, it tastes just as good as it started. Chunjang’s unique savory taste. And a little greasiness is a characteristic of Chinese cuisine.

Is this the first Jjajangmyeon I’ve had in some time?

Tsk tsk tsk.

Jjajangmyeon automatically continues to enter your mouth. I took a quick look at Rurin and found that she was inhaling without any problems.

“After that, um, it’s my day articulation...” .”

“Yes, in that case, eat the yellow thing in front of you with the yellow thing. “This is a food that should be eaten with that.”

Pickled radish takes away the greasy taste and enhances the savory taste.

As the unique salty yet sweet taste of chunjang spreads in your mouth, chewing on the crunchy pickled radish takes the flavor up a notch.

“Oh oh!”

Lurin picked up a pickled radish with a half-confident look on her face, hesitated for a moment, and then started chewing it. She looked very pleased.

After leaving a decent amount of Jjajangmyeon, I picked up the fried egg that I ordered separately. This is the best when you start to feel a little more grumpy.

And I poured some of the sweet and sour pork into the remaining black bean sauce. Sweet and sour pork with black bean sauce. And sweet and sour pork with sweet and sour pork sauce. And sweet and sour pork dipped only with salt that I bought at a convenience store. Prepare as many as three types.

Each has its own taste characteristics.

Once you eat it with salt, the taste of sweet and sour pork itself comes out best. The closer it is to being crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the closer it gets to this taste, but the place I ordered didn’t seem to put that much effort into making sweet and sour pork.

But sweet and sour pork is basically delicious.

No matter what you do, do the basics.

If you add a little salt, the slightly salty taste harmonizes with the lightness of sweet and sour pork, and you can’t help but chew it in your mouth.

Of course, the sweet and sour pork sauce has its own harmony because of the refreshing taste of the thick sauce itself. Also, Jjajang sauce is just as delicious when eaten with pickled radish as with Jjajangmyeon.

I finished my Wagu Wagu meal to the point where I felt it was worth failing twice. Lulin also had a satisfied face. With a satisfied look on his face, he puts down his bowl of jjajang and shouts at me.

“It wasn’t as good as what you made, but I was hungry so I ate it!”

“Is that so?”

As a result, my cooking is praised. I am grateful. I was thirsty, so I rustled the bag and took out a drink. Two plastic bottles. These are drinks I’ve never seen before. I don’t know the taste. Take the lid off and quench your thirst. I feel refreshed as the cool lemon scent spreads into my stomach filled with black bean paste.

After quenching my thirst, I lay down on the mat. I pass the drink to Rurin.

Rurin also accepted the plastic bottle and drank it down. However, he quickly removes the plastic bottle from his mouth and tilts his head with a surprised face. Of course I thought it was water, but the expression on my face asked why it tasted different. But soon he starts drinking again as if it doesn’t matter because it’s delicious.

“Hey, it’s flowing.”

The drink ran down my lips and under my chin, so I wiped it away.

“If it flows, you can wipe it up.”

He sticks out his face more as if it were natural.

I have nothing to say. Me too, who is carefully wiping it away with my sleeve.

Anyway, after quenching my thirst, I lay down on the mat. Rurin immediately comes over and looks at me while lying down.

And his eyes sparkle as he points across the Han River. There’s something strange about these eyes.

“There are so many things sparkling even though it is night. Light shines here and there. “What on earth are those?”
