Cheat day

Heave-ho

“Ugh.”

“Is there something on your mind?”

Yes. These days, there are a lot of problems related to stock manipulation and cryptocurrencies, right? “Isn’t it pointless to get involved with a company that might have issues?”

The aged kimchi nodded.

“And it seems like Hongdangmu is not a clean company.”

Through this incident, I learned how Hongdangmu manages internet broadcasters.

They are people who use comment manipulation and recommendation manipulation as needed, so it’s hard to believe that James Asset Management only engages in legal activities.

The aged kimchi smiled faintly.

“There’s no harm in being careful.”

“So what should we do about this?”

“I will convey your intentions well to CEO Hong Seong-il.”

“Could you do that for me?”

“Don’t worry.”

I nodded and then stepped into my room.

“Mm.”

Even without that, thanks to the Baek Seung-yong car commercial, I had some extra money, so I was contemplating whether to put it in a fixed deposit.

The corporate banchan store and I split the profits 70-30, and thanks to that, the money earned from the advertising contract is 63 million won.

Since I bought Palgongi in my own name and paid in full, I currently have about 150 million won on hand.

It’s too valuable to just leave it, so I should at least put it in a fixed deposit.

“Protein.”

“Tint.”

Track. Did we win?

“Rack rail.”

“What is that?”

“Cogged rail.” It is used in the section where the aft locomotive runs.

Work. Work… worker.”

Thief? Oh no!

Baek Woo-jin, who was sitting in the back seat playing a word chain game, screamed. It seems like he got a smack on the head from Cha Ji-chan.

“Do it again.” Beast.”

“Trapezius muscle.”

“Modern.”

“Great resignation.”

“Geunbi.”

What is Near the waist? “Do you want to keep using difficult words?”

The fertilizer given to the roots of plants is called “root fertilizer.” “Hurry up.”

“비. Bi… biceps femoris.

Geun. Genzhong.”

Jjungg? Not a monk, but a monk?

“Yeah.”

“Hey, where did you hear that?” What does it mean?

“Here.” When measuring herbal medicine, one “geun” is called “geun-jjeung.”

“Are you looking for it?”

“I told you it’s there.”

“Really, it’s here?” Ji-seung hyung, did you know the word “banchan” and “geun-jjungi”?

“How do you know such things?”

Saturday.

It’s the road heading to Dogae, Gangwon-do.

Yesterday at the wrap-up party for the Baek Seung-yong car, I mentioned I was going to Gangwon-do, and these three kept begging to go with me.

I thought it was just something said in the heat of the moment, but I was shocked to see them gathered in front of my house with their bags packed in the morning.

“Answer quickly.”

“Here.”

“Ugh.”

In the rearview mirror, Baek Woo-jin, who was clearly furious, slapped Cha Ji-chan on the forehead and then groaned.

The person who got hit is fine, and only the person who did the hitting is in pain, so it’s clearly a game that is fundamentally and utterly wrong.

“But aren’t you busy?” “Why are you following me?”

“I cleared all my work for this weekend.”

“I’ve been cooped up in the store for a month, so I need to get some fresh air.”

“I posted the notice about the break.”

It seems that the Baek Seung-yoong car was indeed quite difficult.

The people who were working without a break on weekends have taken two days off, so that says it all.

“And if you go, there must be a reason.”

Right. If Ban Chan Yong drives for 4 hours to get there, it must be quite a good restaurant, right?

“So, where are we going to eat?”

“Water chicken ribs.”

“What is muldak galbi?”

“Is it different from Chuncheon dakgalbi?”

“It’s dakgalbi, but you eat it with broth.”

“I’ve never heard of it before.”

“Right.” Do they eat like that in Yeongdong?

“It’s different from Chuncheon dakgalbi.” I put a lot of broth, chives, and water parsley in and boil it, and it’s delicious. In winter, we also add shepherd’s purse.

Even I, who dislike vegetables, like it, so it will surely suit these people’s taste.

We took a break in the middle and arrived at Dogae-eup, Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do, shortly after 12 o’clock.

There was only one parking spot left in the T restaurant parking lot, so it was clear that many people had already arrived.

I walked into the store and ordered four servings of mild flavor and two udon noodles.

“There’s really a lot of people.”

“It seems like it’s a popular restaurant.”

“They say if you come here late, there won’t be any seats, but you’re lucky.”

“Where.”

Jujiseung checked the menu.

“Is it just the spicy and mild flavors?”

“Yeah.”

Running a delivery service, I’ve definitely felt that having fewer menu items is better.

It’s easy to manage the ingredients, and if the business is as successful as this one, the turnover will be good, maintaining freshness.

“The food is here.”

The boss just served the water chicken galbi.

*3 servings of mild flavor and 1 udon noodle side

“Wow.”

“Isn’t it almost a loss?”

Joo Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, and Baek Woo-jin admired the spicy chicken stew.

The bubbling red broth peeking through the piled-up vegetables is always enticing.

“It smells like curry.”

“Right.” It seems like this place adds some curry powder too.

“Is this your first time too?”

“Yeah.”

I didn’t eat breakfast before leaving, and I didn’t really eat anything at the rest stop, so I’m starving like crazy.

Before the udon noodles were even fully cooked, I ended up finishing two servings quickly, taking one bite at a time.

“The broth is really clean.”

Baek Woo-jin was impressed.

“It must be because of the minari.” “This place is really nice.”

“When you eat it, it gets tough and the taste changes.”

One of the charms of mul dak galbi is that the taste of the broth changes little by little over time.

“It’s fully ripe.”

As soon as Jujiseung spoke, everyone rushed in.

“Huff.”

Ho. Ho.

As soon as I put the chicken in my mouth, my eyes widened.

The flesh, infused with heat, is so tender. I wonder if I’ve ever eaten chicken this tender in my life.

“Very soft.”

“Right.” How did you do the meat tenderizing?

Chicken is usually soaked in milk to tenderize the meat and remove any off-flavors, but even the monk, who knows such things, seems to find this place’s chicken remarkable.

Wow. “Crazy.”

Cha Ji-chan keeps exclaiming in admiration as he eats chives and chicken together.

“It’s worth coming all the way to Gangwon-do to eat.” Really.

“Exactly.”

Baek Woo-jin poured the soup into his small plate and gulped it down in one go, while Ju Ji-seung, realizing it wasn’t working out, put his camera aside and focused on his meal.

“I want to eat.”

Baek Woo-jin said.

“Aren’t you going to eat the fried rice?”

“Just eat both.”

“Pig.”

“So, are you not going to eat?”

When Baek Woo-jin asked, they were all hesitant, but Ju Ji-seung called the boss.

“Boss, here are four rice bowls!”

By the time the rice was served, the ingredients had simmered down nicely, and the broth had thickened quite a bit.

Since the white rice was a perfect match, I quickly finished a bowl even though the only side dishes were radish kimchi and pickled radish.

“How many should I fry?”

After eating rice, the amount of spicy chicken ribs also decreased significantly. Baek Woo-jin brought up the fried rice as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Just do two.”

“Okay.” Let’s just stir-fry two.

When Ju Ji-seung and I suggested frying just two, Cha Ji-chan made a serious face.

How many people are there? Do four.

They said they were on a diet to prepare for the competition, but they’ve long since lost their grip on reality.

“Didn’t you say you were going to the competition?”

“If you hadn’t eaten, I wouldn’t know.” “I already ate, how can I hold back?”

“That’s true.”

The taste you know is the scariest.

I don’t have a strong desire to eat unfamiliar food, but it’s hard to resist when I know how delicious it is.

“Boss, please fry four servings of rice for us.”

Yes. Please turn up the heat.

The boss came over right away and prepared a meal for me.

I was really surprised when they added rice and seaweed flakes to the sizzling pan and then added sesame oil.

The boss, who had poured in a ladleful of sesame oil, carelessly stir-fried the rice and spread it out before returning to the kitchen.

“Uh.”

“…….”

“You’re not making a mistake, are you?”

There was not a hint of embarrassment, so I really wondered if this was right, but smelling the savory aroma, it did look delicious.

“The smell is nice.”

“You seem to be writing it down yourself.” “I put in so much, but it doesn’t smell strong.”

“It was in a soju bottle.”

“Sigh.”

When I smell the fried rice and sesame oil together, my mouth waters.

Tasting the edges that have started to stick to the pan, I can’t help but nod my head.

“It’s delicious.” “Really delicious.”

Today, my blood sugar will definitely spike.

I ate a whole bowl of white rice with udon and even fried rice with plenty of sesame oil, so my blood can’t possibly handle it.

Nevertheless, I can’t refuse the food in front of me.

The savory aroma filling my nasal passages, the spicy seasoning, the tender flesh that you can bite into here and there, and the rice grains that are stuck together.

It’s truly a perfect water chicken galbi.

After finishing lunch, I went into a nearby café.

Everyone’s expressions are completely relaxed, as if they have all just feasted.

“Why isn’t there a place like this near our house?”

“My words.”

Since I came out early in the morning and I’m full, I’m starting to feel sleepy.

“How long has it been since I’ve been this relaxed?”

“Right?”

We drank coffee and sat in silence without any special conversation, but this is exactly the kind of rest we need right now.

“You’re going to be busy again starting next week, huh?”

Suddenly, I remembered the event at the end of June and spoke to Cha Ji-chan.

Uh. Let’s get started right away.

“Seriously, you’re just asking for trouble.”

“You’re doing it because there’s something to gain from the hardship.”

At Chajichan’s words, both I and Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly.

The Great National Expedition is an event that Cha Ji-chan has been preparing for since last year.

The intention was for internet broadcasters to gather, share camaraderie, exercise, and perform good deeds.

In this industry, it has garnered significant attention, as the Jimkkun channel, which has secured 2.6 million subscribers, is planning it, WTV is producing it, and it has also been contracted with Netflix, so everyone wants to participate.

“We’ve already received all the applications.”

“Ugh.”

“How many people are there?”

“Just over 1,200 people, I think.”

Joo Ji-seung’s eyes widened, and Baek Woo-jin and I couldn’t close our mouths.

“Isn’t this too big of a deal?”

“Right.” It would be nice if we all did it together, but having such a large group is a bit difficult. I’m planning to limit it to exactly 200 people.

“Still a lot.”

“Have you secured both the accommodation and the restaurant?”

“Then.” Our kids are so meticulous.

It’s good that Cha Ji-chan proudly regards PD Ahn Sang-kyu and the other staff members, but the problem is that they also helped Baek Seung-yong.

“He helped with the white victory car too.”

“Right.”

“This guy was a really cruel boss.”

“Exactly.” How did you manage to prepare all of that in the meantime?

So, hire a lot of people. If we take turns resting, we can do it all.

“I don’t have that kind of money.”

“You’re making a lot of money, so stop whining.”

“Even the employees are employees, but aren’t you overdoing it?”

Joo Ji-seung said with concern.

“You said you were going to participate in the competition.”

“Okay.” How long has it been since the Baek Seung-yong car ended?

Thinking about it, it’s not a schedule that a normal person can handle.

“It’s all because I like it.” “Just come and have fun with your brother without worrying.”

Cha Ji-chan smiled slightly.

It seems like you’re really looking forward to the grand trek, so I’m feeling good too.
