Episode 160: A Good Day (3)
Seeing Yu Seol crying made my heart feel heavy for some reason.
This is because it reminded me of my mother crying a while ago because she missed her.
Jinsan Yu nodded once with a faint smile.
“Yes, if we can’t do it, it won’t work.”
“huh. “You have to go quickly and catch it.”
The granddaughter, who had made up her mind, looked very serious.
But is that as easy as it sounds?
“Do you know who it is and where do you go to catch it?”
It wasn’t something that could be accomplished just by putting the will first.
In essence, assassins come and go and leave no trace. If you can assassinate a Safa expert, it is a special assassin job.
No matter how much you think about it, it was not an easy opponent.
“Grandpa, if you use a trick, you can find it.”
Yu Jin-san, who was looking at his granddaughter pitifully, suddenly burst out laughing.
“No, this guy? “What kind of trick is this?”
“I heard people talking in Hohyeon. Grandpa’s tricks are the best in the martial arts world. “They say it’s the best in that area.”
“No, what kind of old bastards said that!?”
“I don’t know either. “I heard it at the market.”
Are there just one or two martial artists from Sapa who come and go in Hohyeon?
He praises his granddaughter as a hero of Safa, but calls himself a copyist. I was very annoyed at what kind of guys they were.
Yu Jin-san, who had been fussing for a while, finally calmed down and sighed.
“Next time you see those guys, tell them it’s wisdom, not trickery. Do you understand?”
“...Yes.”
Suddenly, I realized that there was no need to get excited about false rumors.
Now he has proven his skills to the powerful by winning the spear competition.
His voice became even softer.
“Then wait outside for a while. “I think we should discuss with the adults how to catch that guy.”
Yu Seol nodded and walked out without a word.
It was because he knew that he was of no help in this position.
Jinsan Yu crossed his arms and closed his eyes for a moment. It was to think about a method.
Eun Hwa-rin, who had been waiting silently, cautiously spoke.
“You’ll need some bait, right?”
“I guess so. “It’s also very appetizing.”
To catch a big fish, you need a bait that big.
There was a high probability that there would not even be a bite in some traps.
The problem is that it is not easy to find bait. Who would want to be exposed to danger by becoming a target of assassination?
“I would like to ask for your opinion. “No matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of a suitable person.”
Yu Jin-san remained silent for a moment.
After some silence, he opened his closed eyes and softly answered.
“What would it be like if you were a key executive of the Black Night Party, the number one intelligence organization in the Safa faction? “If he is a central figure who oversees the information network in the southern region.”
Eunhwarin pointed to her chest with a puzzled look on her face.
“Me?”
Jinsan Yu nodded without hesitation.
“If I were that assassin, I would never pass you by.”
“But...”
“If you’re afraid, tell me. It’s just an option. But I can’t think of any other alternative.”
Who is Eunhwarin? She was behind the background of how Heukyabang grew to this level.
He said he would use her as she was the most important person in the organization.
Moreover, in order to become bait without suspicion, you would have to be prepared to blow up at least one secret branch of the Dark Night.
It was a gamble so risky that it could be said to be a game of success.
After thinking for a moment, Eunhwarin made a solemn expression as if she had made up her mind.
“...I’ll do it.”
“Your face looks like a soldier going to die on the battlefield. “Why are you afraid when we will protect you?”
“...I will only trust the elderly.”
Yu Jin-san chuckled and leaned back in his chair.
“You don’t have to worry too much. “If we prepare well, it won’t be as dangerous as you think.”
Now her expression relaxed, as if she felt a little relieved.
“My knowledge is focused on management, but I am blind to the methods of the martial arts people. “I’d like to hear some more advice.”
“hmm. In Gangho, there is no one as cautious and quick-witted as Salsu. What would be even worse if you were a special assassin whose skill level was at its peak? “Everything has to be planned meticulously without missing a single thing.”
It wasn’t just about preparing bait.
It was impossible to allow even the slightest loophole.
The process of exposing his identity and luring him. And even concerns about her safety.
Jinsan Yu had many conversations and consultations with her throughout the eclipse.
Before I knew it, a smile was blooming on Eunhwarin’s face. This may be because the concerns have been resolved.
“As expected, there are no holes in your plan. “You are as great as your reputation.”
Was it because of what I heard from my granddaughter a little while ago? It felt good to receive a compliment, but for some reason, I felt bitter somewhere in my heart.
“Surely you didn’t think of me as a scheming schemer? “Like anyone.”
“Is that possible!? “I always admired the elder’s wisdom because it was something that could not be learned through academic knowledge.”
“That’s such a strange thing. “Our youngest daughter-in-law really enjoyed making food for her family.”
“really? “Did your mom like cooking?”
It was a completely different reaction than before.
Seeing his eyes shining, it seemed like he was finally interested.
“Of course. The workmanship was truly amazing. “I know a few of your mother’s recipes, but I can’t do anything about them if I don’t want to learn them.”
It wasn’t a lie. Whenever she showed off her skills, the family members ate two or three bowls of rice each.
“I want to try it too. “Teach me quickly.”
Yu Seol scolded his grandfather with the face of an impatient puppy.
However, Yu Jin-san stared at the pond without even paying attention.
“You say you don’t learn? It’s already late. “I have no intention of telling you any more.”
It was the sound of my granddaughter behind me wrapping her arms around her neck.
Yu Jin-san cleared his throat at the sudden surprise attack.
“Whoosh!”
“hurry.”
Of course, I didn’t apply any force, but for some reason, my heart trembled. If I had been caught like this by an enemy rather than my granddaughter, my neck would have been broken.
“How dare this guy threaten Jaebi? “Can’t you just let go of this!”
With a body smaller than that of my granddaughter and a cry coming from the child’s face, there was no such thing as dignity.
Yu Seol, who had released his neck, gently patted his grandfather’s back and persuaded him.
“okay. So hurry up and let me know. huh? “I’ll cook delicious food for you every day.”
Eugene San reluctantly left his seat and stood up.
The anger on her face seemed to have subsided slightly at the sight of her obedient granddaughter.
“I’m telling you specifically this time. “If you surprise your grandfather again, it won’t be a good idea.”
“Thank you, grandpa. “What should Seol make for you first?”
Yoo Seol followed his grandfather into a small cabin. It was used as a kitchen.
The inside was full of ingredients pre-stocked in Heukyabang.
“Let’s make dongpo pork first. “From now on, I will explain the order and amount of ingredients, so listen carefully.”
Dongpo-yuk (東坡肉) is a dish using pork with the skin still attached.
After seasoning with salt, add fermented liquor, sugar, soy sauce, spices, etc. and boil thoroughly. Here, Yu Jajang’s secret recipe is to add several medicinal herbs.
Since she was a granddaughter with a superhuman memory, there was no need to explain it twice.
If you just do what you’re told, you’ll get some decent food.
After listening to the explanation, Yoo Seol nodded with a serious expression.
“Grandpa, I’m sorry about earlier. “I won’t do that again.”
“OK. “That’s how you become a good granddaughter.”
“I won’t disturb you anymore, so I’m practicing outside. “I’ll make it and take it with me.”
“alone? “Are you sure you can do it?”
“huh. “She is my mother’s daughter who is good at cooking.”
For a moment, my granddaughter’s appearance overlapped with her mother.
Looking at his serious face, he seemed to have no worries.
Yu Jin-san walked away with a happy expression, putting his back behind him.
‘haha. Our Seol has grown up now.’
After a while, I sat down on the rock at the edge of the pond again with a happy heart. It was to continue training.
Ban Si-jin devoted himself to training again.
Finally, Yoo Seol came out of the kitchen carrying the table.
“Grandpa, let’s eat!”
Yu Jin-san, sitting across from Yoo Seol, had tears in his eyes.
I never thought the day would come when I would be able to eat the food my granddaughter cooked.
Thinking about the difficult memories of the past, I felt refreshed.
“Good work. “It smells amazing.”
Although cooking skills are not necessarily proportional to martial arts skills, it is true that they are advantageous to some extent.
Although it was my granddaughter’s first time holding a kitchen knife, she was truly dexterous.
Meat and ingredients are prepared uniformly without a single error. Moreover, it was amazing to see that they even added some kind of garnish.
“Go ahead and eat it. “It will be delicious.”
Jinsan Yu picked up a large piece of meat and vegetables with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth.
A meaningful sound came out from his mouth.
“Keuhum!!!”
Even though she had experienced all kinds of hardships before birth, she couldn’t come to her senses as she was experiencing it for the first time.
The moment I swallowed it, tears even started to flow out.
Yoo Seol, who was sitting across from me, rested his chin on his knees and asked.
“how is it? huh? delicious?”
Yu Jin-san did not answer but asked something else first.
“Is it true that you only used the ingredients as Grandpa told you to?”
“No, I put a lot in it to make it delicious. a lot.”
“...Have you tried eating it first?”
Yu Seol shook his head and shouted.
“Long life, long life!” “I haven’t even eaten it yet, so how can I taste it first?”
Yu Jin-san took a deep breath for a moment and quietly asked again.
“Yes? why?”
Eugene San picked up two pieces of Dongpo Pork with chopsticks and brought them to his granddaughter’s mouth.
“If you can eat ten pieces, I won’t call you grandma from now on. Come on, eat it.”
