His lost appetite has returned. He gained 5 kg in 2 weeks because of salted oysters, so take responsibility. Please send another box quickly, when will it be restocked, etc. This was the starting point of many articles. * * * At the very center of Yeongchun Seafood Market was the Jeotgal Market. (t/n: Jeotgal means salted seafood.) Delicious salted fish with a shiny red color. Starting from marinating fresh seafood to unique pickled seafood that is hard to find in Seoul. People who first came down to Yeongchun-myeon couldn’t take their eyes off the stalls at the Jeotgal market. However, for those who truly know how to shop in the local market, they won’t be fooled by such tricks. “This way.” Lee Semyung, carrying a green shopping cart with many holes in it and wearing a hat pulled down, led Junghyo with a solemn voice. With a demeanor reminiscent of a martial arts master wearing a bamboo hat, on a quest to find the legendary sword buried in the rocky mountain, Junghyo was momentarily taken aback. Is this happening? However, she kept her mouth shut at Lee Semyung’s next words. “Master don’t give salted oysters to a noisy person.” Ah, I see. Junghyo quickly pressed down on her baseball cap. If her face is seen, the market will be noisy. Lee Semyung walked through the alleys of the market and put onions, chives, and cucumbers into his shopping cart. “Didn’t you buy groceries earlier?” These are all things she has at home. Lee Semyung said, raising his index finger to his lips. “Shh. Someone might be chasing us. The salon lady is craving salted oysters.” “Just letting you know—” Lee Semyung’s eyes gleamed. “Master will not hand over salted oysters to someone who has betrayed their faith.” “….” Let’s just follow quietly. Junghyo could only raise her voice after reaching a deep alleyway because Lee Semyung was enforcing strict security and telling her to keep her mouth shut. “But why do you insist on sticking to this regular business so much?” And how does an outsider like Dad know about such a house? She knew he was serious about grocery shopping these days, but she didn’t expect it to be to this extent. Only when Lee Semyung entered the alley did he stop looking at his surroundings warily and speak comfortably. “You took over the factory in Jeongcheon-gun and did a big business, and it seems like a large company suggested a home shopping partnership. Since it was a fairly large company, I believed in it and proceeded with it, but there was a problem during delivery of the oysters, which already had a short expiration date, so the master took care of all the bulk refunds. Due to the shock, her husband became ill and passed away, and the master went into hiding.” Home shopping partnership. As soon as Junghyo heard those words, she couldn’t help but think of the manager, whose eyes gleamed at the mention of ‘home shopping.’ They’ll have to take the home shopping plans slowly. No, she wonders if she can even obtain the ultimate recipe in the first place… As she was thinking that, Junghyo suddenly stopped in her spot. This was because Lee Semyung stopped walking and stared at one place. No matter how she looked, there were no stores open. All she could see were a few shop entrances, closed and covered with slate, as if they had gone out of business. ‘Where exactly is this Jeotgal shop supposed to be?’ “Owner. We’re here to buy salted seafood.” Lee Semyung knocked several times on the shabbiest slate among them. “….?” Is this where they do business? While Junghyo was confused, Lee Semyung knocked on the slate several more times. But there was no answer. Well, is there a rule about how many times they have to knock? It was then. An elderly woman wearing a sun cap appeared from the alley, pulling a cart. She then took out a long stick from the cart and used it to lift the slate upwards. “When did you get here? I said I were going to the restroom.” …Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a rule about how many times to knock. The gaze beneath the cap of the grandmother was vivid and lively. “I brought a guest with me.” There was a deep furrow between the grandmother’s eyebrows under the sun hat. She seemed uneasy. It was when Lee Semyung quickly stepped forward and tried to introduce Junghyo. Junghyo stepped forward first. “She’s my daughter. She wanted to meet you because she loves your salted oysters so much.” “….” Master Choi Myeongja. The master, who was very difficult to listen to Lee Semyung, quietly looked Junghyo up and down. It was as if she was trying to determine whether she was someone worth having as a new guest. “You’re from Seoul.” “Yes, that’s right.” For some reason, it was a moment when sweat ran down her spine. Water also dripped from the iced Americano in Junghyo’s hand. An Iced Americano (D) bursting with friendliness. —Increases affinity by 200%. She drew a special potion, but it didn’t seem like my affinity would increase with just this. Even if she multiplies 0 by 1,000, it’s still 0. So what should she start with? It was a time when she was thinking for a while. Choi Myeongja turned her face away and turned on the old TV. “Our granddaughters are also from Seoul.” Only after hearing those words did she notice the torn sketchbook hanging in the closet inside the store. Pictures beautifully drawn with crayons. The one with the curly hair must be Master Choi Myeongja, and behind that, the red container is piled up in this shop. And those crooked letters written on the building that suddenly rose up high— Yeongchu n H T eL This is the Yeongchun Hotel. Hyeyu said that Yeongchun Hotel is famous among young kids! ‘I should have come with Hyeyu!’ Even though she has subtly acted sullen since becoming an elementary school student, Hyeyu still flashed a cute smile at the mere mention of the Paladin’s autograph. Seeing that, perhaps Master Choi Myeongja’s heart would have melted instantly too. Junghyo took out her business card from her arms. She hadn’t used it much until now, but now was the time when she needed a business card. “I came from the Yeongchun Hotel, Master.” Master Choi Myeongja turned her head slightly to the business card neatly placed on the floorboard inside the store. The tiger-like profile softened slightly with surprise in Junghyo’s eyes. But it’s only for a moment. Soon, Master Choi Myeongja shifted her gaze back to the TV. “So? Can I give you a few cans of salted oysters?” First of all, she passed the test as a customer, but that doesn’t stop there. A situation in which there is no further interest. Junghyo first ordered two cans of salted oysters. Should she leave like this today? Bringing up business talk with trivial or irrelevant words might make it difficult for them to visit again as customers. It was then. “Recently, there have been mass deaths of oysters… It’s difficult to find oysters, and the quality isn’t good either. But the oysters here seem to be in good condition. They’re plump and fresh.” Lee Semyung unexpectedly opened up the conversation. Master Choi Myeong-ja also immediately became interested in those words. “There are fights in the Jeotgal market to get good oysters.” Although it was still a harsh voice. Is this because her skill at shopping in Yeongchun-myeon has increased? She immediately caught a topic that even the scary master would be interested in. It was when Junghyo was just thinking that way. Lee Semyung cast his gaze subtly toward Junghyo. ‘This can’t be…! As expected of Dad!’ This was an opportunity created by Lee Semyung. What Lee Se-myeong had said about master passed through her mind. “…Since it was a fairly large company, I believed in it and proceeded with it, but there was a problem during delivery of the oysters, which already had a short expiration date, so the master took care of all the bulk refunds.” The freshness of oysters! A dungeon hotel proposal that is most attractive to master. The oysters caught near the Dragon Palace were exceptionally fresh, perhaps due to the protection of the guardian deity of the West Sea, the Dragon King. Moreover, the supply and demand for oysters are not smooth now. The Dungeon Hotel was a more reliable supplier of oysters than anyone else. Junghyo didn’t miss the moment. “We are confident that we can provide you with the freshest oysters in Korea, Master.” This time, Master Choi Myeongja was greatly shaken by Junghyo’s words. The master’s ladle, dyed red with red pepper powder, suddenly stopped. Master Choi Myeongja’s beautiful eyes shone under the sun cap. “The freshest oysters? Does this young person know fresh oysters?” She’s…really scary. Junghyo had never felt this way before, but this time, she felt a little different. Junghyo broke her silence with a voice that trembled slightly. Junghyo put down the iced Americano she was holding and took something from her sleeve… “…?” She took out Dalgona. “Now a young man wants to play with me—” “If you show this to your granddaughter, she’ll definitely like it.” Ever since Dalgona was posted on Jan Schulz’s account, Dalgona has become somewhat of a trend among young children. This is thanks to R.T.s from toy review accounts, which have many children following them. However, Junghyo’s mention of her granddaughter was not because of the childish idea of interfering with personal feelings in business. “And above all, if the Master’s honor is restored, your granddaughters would be happier.” She had no intention of saying words like revenge. It’s ridiculous to use ‘revenge’ as justification when it comes to hiring a master with the ultimate recipe, who had so much pride in her fermented seafood that she would bear such enormous losses herself. “Please give us a second chance to serve you, Master. We will restore your honor. Go back to where you were supposed to be.” It seemed like a situation where she should kneel, but that might be overdoing it, so she decided to stay quiet for now. “….” “….” It was then. In the suffocating silence, something like this appeared in front of Junghyo’s eyes. You have achieved the achievement ‘Hotel Manager Negotiates Well’ and gained 1,000EXP points. “….!” At the same time that Junghyo raised his head, Master Choi Myeongja, who was fiddling with the brim of the cap with her fingertips, quietly took off her hat. Choi Myeongja rose from her seat, picked up two cans of salted oysters, grabbed her cane and bag, and then walked over to Junghyo and Lee Semyung. Master Choi Myeongja, who had combed her curly hair with her hands, tapped the floor with her cane and said. “Let’s look at the oysters first.” “….!” “Is this mine too?” Master Choi Myeongja lifted the coffee that Junghyo had put down with the hand that wasn’t holding her cane. “Yes, Master.” In response to Junghyo’s reply, Choi Myeongja took a sip of her coffee through a straw. “…Not bad.” Congratulations! You have achieved the achievement ‘Impress the Owner of the Ultimate Recipe’ and gained 1,000EXP points. She doesn’t think it’s just not bad? Lee Semyung muttered as he watched Master Choi Myeongja walk out into the dimly lit dark alley of the market. “M, master said she would look at the oysters…!” Seeing Lee Semyung’s moved face, Junghyo also pressed her hand against her chest. For slightly different reasons, of course. She was proud that the owner of the ultimate recipe said her coffee was delicious. Of course, looking at the window that just popped up, it seemed like the odds of success in negotiations had increased. But once she enters the hotel, the hotel manager will somehow persuade the master to do a home shopping show. ‘Surely… I’m not the one appearing on it, right?’ There isn’t anything she wouldn’t do for her reputation, but she was sure she wouldn’t be able to do it properly. Junghyo’s concerns were surprisingly easily resolved. Manager ㅎㅎㅎㅎthe home shopping model has been decided, boss! It’s Hunter Han Woohyun. Even though she doesn’t know if she can say this has been solved.Hello! You can also buy the advanced chapter in Ko-fi now, just click the ko-fi button and look for the title of the novel in shop.
