Koreans say garlic isn't a spice.

"I said it's a vegetable?"

"Kung, kkung, kkung...."

"Honey, why would you hate it so much?"

Honey always makes a 'kung' sound when expressing her disapproval, and when she kung, her already round body would roll up and down. She was like a soft, bouncy ball rolling around.

But Geo felt wronged.

"Garlic isn't spicy when cooked."

"Kung."

"You'll know when you eat it, it's just a potato. It's just a well-mashed, moist potato."

"Kung, kkung...."

"The flavor has all gone into the oil. Dad is really upset."

Even though she had made rice, two of her family members were distrustful of Geo.

“Dad said he tried it.”

It wasn’t Honey who responded, but the teddy bear.

“Kkuu....”

“...Of course, Koreans are strong against spicy food, but Dad, that’s a prejudice. Not all Koreans are strong against spicy food. I was average.”

He didn’t say anything, but since God is a god, the sun god knew that there was a Korean among the ‘Geo’. And because of the popular belief that Koreans are particularly strong against spicy food, this confrontation had occurred.

“Why do we have to face such a harsh ordeal in front of this warm and delicious table...?”

As always, Geo’s cooking was amazing.

The soft and moist club or pal, thrown at the right time, boasted a milky white color, and the olive oil with the soul of garlic harmonized with the Milky Way Mary and the weeping hem.

Also, the sun god gave off his warmth and cut it, and the bread that Geo had baked in the oven once was emitting a rich aroma.

“Add to that the smoked fish fillet that was gently dried in the gentle spring breeze, and what a simple and perfect table this is. Especially, how delicious would it be if this fish fillet was soft and chewy and placed on a crispy baguette, with a drop or two of gambas oil, and topped with well-fermented capers?”

The pig’s sincerity in appealing to his appetite got through, and Honey and the Bear doll hesitated. Geo didn’t miss the opportunity and had Honey and the Bear doll sit on their respective tables.

“Let’s eat first. No matter how much you hate spicy food, you shouldn’t be doing this in front of a hot table. That’s an insult to the ingredients and an insult to me, the chef.”

“Gulp....”

“Kkuu....”

“Danado has already gone and sat down, so why are you all hesitating like this? Honey, I didn’t raise you to be so weak. Didn’t you say, Father, that you wanted to experience human culture?”

That’s how Geo managed to convince the two.

“You thought well. Yes, you may feel aversion to spicy food, but if you avoid it without even trying it, your range of experiences will inevitably be limited.”

“Kuuu.”

“Of course, it is said that spicy food is closer to pain than taste, but I don’t deny that, but I hope you understand that even that is a part of the gastronomic experience. The texture of the mouth is also a part of the meal.”

Soggy dumplings or hard pudding were like things you didn’t want to eat. Food had a texture that went best with it, and there was a taste and flavor that went well with that form. Geo couldn’t leave these spicy lovers alone.

“No, more than that.”

Geo once again complained about his injustice.

“I told you it’s not spicy?”

“.......”

“Dana, you don’t trust this father either.”

Anyway, the meal went on. Both Honey and Sunshin secretly showed their dislike, but they had no intention of not eating at all from the beginning. There was a delicious smell wafting around, so how could they avoid it?

Geo, a timid spicy person, made a salmon baguette for his son.

“Put ripe broccoli and garlic on the baguette... Crush the tomatoes so that they release their juices... Put smoked fish on top... Put cheese flowers on top, and voila.”

The Geo-Pyo salmon baguette was complete.

“It was a good thing I grew cheese flowers.”

This cheese flower that I first encountered at the restaurant I visited with Yoo Seong-un. I was able to get the seeds because it was a plant that grew in a dungeon somewhere.

As expected, it evolved from azalea to morning glory, perhaps influenced by the forest, but its deep flavor and fragrance were the same.

“If you eat it with cheese like this, it’ll be much less spicy.”

“Kung....”

Dab.

The baguette melted in Honey’s body.

“...Kur.”

“It’s delicious.”

“Kururururur.”

“Thank goodness.”

The first impression of the food you eat determines your subsequent culinary journey. I didn’t want to give my child a bad memory of the ‘spicy food’ he was trying for the first time since he was born.

“It’s moderately spicy, so it’s okay?”

“Kuruk guruk.”

“Yeah, you have to try anything to know.”

Geo also made and ate the baguette in the same way as before.

“Hmm.”

He acknowledged it as the name of a self-proclaimed wild gourmet.

“It’s good.”

“Kuruk.”

It was delicious.

‘I think it could have been a little spicier than this.’

Jeo knew that although he avoided the level of spiciness that would cause a traffic accident, if it was just enough to hit his shoulder, it could be a moderate stimulus.

Smoked fish, cheese flowers, and broccoli were all mild, so they felt a little bland.

‘But this is pretty good.’

The unique spicy and savory flavor of Milky Way Mary hit the roof of my mouth, but it wasn’t so spicy that my tongue would have been tingled, so I could pass it up with a pleasant scent. Honey seemed to have given it a passing grade on this point.

‘The broccoli was also cooked just right. If it had been cooked for too long, it would have been soggy and had a strange texture... The tomatoes, which were particularly plump, were softly crushed thanks to the heating.’

It seemed that the broccoli, garlic, and tomatoes were all slightly spicy because they were soaked in spicy oil.

But at that time, the cheese flower that came into my mouth was much softer than the vegetables and spread like silk, soothing the tingling sensation.

In particular, the smoked fish gave off a luxurious scent unique to the wood that had been burned, creating an even more harmonious taste.

“...Even if I put scallops in here....”

“Kuu?”

“Oh, yes, scallops won’t be particularly spicy either.”

The sun god must have felt that this level of spiciness was delicious, so he secretly handed Geo a baguette with sun-dried tomatoes. He meant to ask him to make a baguette with scallops.

‘You want to experiment with new ideas as soon as you accept them? You show the qualities of a great pig.’

A baguette with sun-dried tomatoes. The sweet and sour flavor unique to tomatoes that were well-dried in the sun already existed. Instead of adding tomatoes soaked in oil, he made a baguette with only broccoli, garlic, and scallops.

“Try it once, and if you think it’s a little spicy, you can eat it with cheese.”

“Kku....”

Wow.

Half of the baguette disappeared into the teddy bear’s large mouth.

“.......”

“.......”

“Kukukuk....”

Judging by the pleasant smile, Geo’s choice seemed satisfactory.

“.......”

“Muang.”

“...You’re talented.”

Danana Honey was a little worried because she didn’t have hands, but she managed to mix it together well using her mouth or feet. Geo nodded in satisfaction and looked at the family who were now starting to mix it together on their own.

“Hmm....”

Maybe I should make some bread with dried figs later.

“It’s good to make bread in advance.”

“Kuuu.”

“That’s right, this was everyday life in Edlen Village.”

Because bread was the staple food in the area, even in coastal towns, there were many bakeries here and there.

“Kuu?”

“Yes, there were many households that didn’t have ovens.”

“Ku?”

“In those cases, they used the village’s communal oven, or if they had a little more ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) money, they would go to the bakery. Anyway, bread was always a staple when a meal was served.”

“Kuk-kuk-kuk.”

“As you might expect, I preferred to bake my own bread at home.”

In Edelland Village, bread felt like rice in Korea, so bakeries only sold the most basic bread. Since dipping it in stew was the norm, there were few places that sold it with dried fruit or nuts.

“Because if you bake your own bread, you can try different things. Sometimes, you’ll even bake it with minced sausage or fish. The seafood in Edelland Village is of high quality, so it’s not too burdensome to eat it in any way.”

Thinking back to that time, I felt motivated.

“It would be better to bake bread in advance.”

“Kurururur.”

“Yes, that way, I can take it out and eat it whenever I think of it.”

Since bread takes a lot of time to knead and bake, the people of Edelland Village would prepare a large amount of bread at once on a certain day and last for almost a month.

‘Of course, the bread would harden and become dry, but being able to eat warm and moist bread every day was a privilege of the nobility... After all, hard and dry bread tastes good when dipped in stew.’

In fact, the combination of hard and dry bread and stew with a lot of broth went well together. Since everyone ate like that, the stew they ordered at restaurants was a little salty to eat just the soup, and instead, they would give out bread to go with it.

However, the advantage of this forest was that fully grown vegetables and cooked food did not spoil.

Even if you bake a lot of bread, it will always be freshly baked, so if you bake bread diligently and stock up, you can eat it whenever you have time.

“In addition to meal bread, if you bake other breads, they are also quite....”

“Wow.”

“Small, round bread? Munchkin donuts would be good too.”

If you lightly add milk to the sugar powder and cover the bread, you will have a wonderful glazed donut. Geo thought that he should make a few sweet breads as well.

“Okay, here we will use pasta noodles.”

When he felt that the bread was consumed, Geo took out the pasta noodles that he had prepared in advance.

He put the chewy, cooked pasta noodles on his personal plate and added various vegetables, a few spoons of oil, and the sausages that Guan Zha and Dana had brought.

“This would be delicious as is if you added cheese.”

“Gulp.”

“I will give you some too, so wait a moment. This has a lot of oil, so it might be a little spicy.”

“Kkuk.”

“You’ve become brave. As expected, children grow up at some point....”

Rub the noodles in hot oil to make it at the right temperature, Geo took a slurp and tasted it.

“Good.”

He really liked it.

“It doesn’t cut the spiciness of the oil as well as the bread, so this will probably be a little spicier. Just in case, put some cheese flowers on it and eat it together.”

“Kurururur.”

“Do you need dad too?”

The teddy bear shook its head at Geo’s question. It didn’t really have noodles, but it seemed like it liked the bread so far and didn’t plan on changing to another type. Geo confirmed his belief.

Geo poured some pasta in front of Dana, who was curious about what Honey was eating, and ate his own.

“.......”

Well.

It was good as expected.

‘The oil scent is stronger, so it’s a little tingly...’

Geo sprinkled some more of the ground Milky Way Mary on top of his portion of pasta. The unique strong aroma spreads, and when you eat it with spicy sausage, the taste is excellent, including the meat juice.

‘The sausage was well-cooked once.’

The moist flesh inside the crispy shell was chewed with each grain, and the smooth noodles soaked in oil added flavor and texture, igniting my appetite.

Even when eaten with clubs or pals, which are treated as scallops rather than sausages, it had a different taste, so I didn’t get tired of it.

Geo opened his mouth after drinking the sweet goby fruit tea he had prepared in advance.

“...Haa....”

A sigh of satisfaction escaped him.

This is happiness.
