Living in a Garage With an Alien Car

chapter 40



‘Sangdol must have been very frightened to see Sangsoon taken at Happy An?’

I smiled to myself while thinking the nonsense.

“Yes, please give my regards to the representative as well.”

“Ahh, even now I am still in a frenzy while watching the video. So, have a nice trip. Take care of your health.”

“Yes, please go in. thank you.”

I ended a long phone call with Joo Hyun-mi, replacing the phone call by saying that my husband’s polarity was great.

I stopped at the edge of the pine forest with the idea of hitting the site on the only ‘backpack beach’ in Hongsan Island.

Backpacker Beach was no bigger than Myeongsasimni Coast.

It was small in size, the sand was hard, and the color of the sea was dark.

If the color of the sea at Myeongsasimni was jade, the color of the sea here was deep blue-green.

There were no campers at the pine forest campsite, so it was the best place to rescue Sayid.

Having a toilet, washroom, and water intake was also a good condition for me with a pet.

Although it is a campground, there were few users, so there was no management office.

Talk about free.

I thought it was good.

I wanted to set this place as a base camp and go on a trip around it.

After lowering the awning, arranging the corrosion that had been bought, and building the site, the sun was already setting.

It’s time to eat dinner, and I’m worried.

Do you eat dinner with the side dish you bought?

Or, do you look around a little more and buy the local specialties?

“hmm···.”

It was a waste of time to think about it, so I fed the guys first.

Travel is a series of choices and decisions.

Destiny will change depending on what choices and failures you make.

In conclusion, we decided to buy and eat local specialties.

“Cathy, can I help you? It would be nice to have a bike that I can ride chewing gum on..”

<Okay. don’t worry >

Giing. Giing. clap. clap.

Before you know it, Cathy starts transforming into a tour bike that is good for traveling.

“oh!”

A nice tour bike with a basket on the front for burning chewing gum and a travel carrier on the back for carrying Kandolsuni appeared in front of me.

<This is a 24-speed tour bike designed to fit Jo Hoon’s body. Enjoy your trip>

“Quack. Thanks Cassie.”

<You’re welcome>

I put the guys on a state-of-the-art hybrid road bike and went on a tour of Hongsan Island again.

Nothing else.

It is a restaurant tour ride only for dinner.

“Mango is with Moosong. we’ll go If I have something delicious, I’ll bring it. Understand?”

Hororohoho.

The ride comfort of the 24-speed cache was nothing to say.

Enjoying the ride, I pedaled in the opposite direction to the main port.

‘I don’t like tourist spots too much. It would be really nice to have a long-established store like the old lady’s store for chicken intestine soup.’

To do so, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to go a little deeper than the outer road, so I turned inward, although it was a hill.

not long after,

‘Bob, drink.’ I found a long-established store with a handwritten signboard written on it.

“It’s here. A store that feels like what I’m looking for.”

The fermented skates were already wafting around the store, and inside, savory Jeolla-do dialects of various ages were noisily mixed.

I stopped the bike, pushed the scuffed aluminum handle inside, and talked.

“Can I eat?”

Isn’t it usually half white?

“Listen quietly.”

Quiet.. Silent..

A grandmother who looks a little older than her mother’s age must be the owner of this store.

When he waved his hand at the people inside, as if telling them to be quiet, everyone in the store closed their mouths.

It is a shabby long-established store where time seems to have stopped.

The shabby villagers stopped moving and began to observe me, a visitor from out of town.

No, there are many places to eat if you go to the main port… Why did you come all the way to this corner?

Most of the people sitting at the table of three or four round cement buckets, which is hard to see now, were mostly villagers who seemed to be fishermen or engaged in fishing.

At that moment, I hold on to the aluminum door and can’t decide whether I should go in or leave, looking at the mouth of the owner’s grandmother, waiting for the decision.

This is enough – if you admit it as an uninvited guest and give it a look – even though it is a situation where you have to close the door and turn away.

“It’s not just 100 and half here..”

“it’s okay. I eat just about anything.”

“Come in when you hug me.”

“thank you.”

I’m nervous because this is coming in again.

There are also chewing gum outside, so it seems that each other’s seats will be uncomfortable.

For a moment.. I regretted that I should have just grilled meat at the campsite.

I closed the door and was thinking about what to do with the chewing gum and Knack Dol-soon, but the owner’s grandmother came out from inside.

“..what are you doing when you don’t come in? Wommae, what is this all about..”

“These are the chewing gum I carry with me.”

“Warmmae, is that a squirrel?”

“yes.”

“Yes, it’s the first time I’ve lived and carried an animal like this on a bicycle.

It seems that the owner’s grandmother is the chief of this village.

“What are you talking about?”

After hearing the owner’s grandmother’s request to come and look, the two villagers rushed outside, full of emotions such as happiness, doubt, and unfamiliarity.

A few stalwart people picked up gum and kandolsuni, but they stirred considerably.

“Hey, was Bob Mac?”

A villager holding Doongdoongi told him that he fed him feed, and when Kandolsuni climbed up and down his forearm and shoulder, he laughed out loud.

My heart was set in the atmosphere of breaking down the boundaries with each other.

“Wow, what a miracle. Come in, guys, you wouldn’t have been able to eat if it was sweet and spicy.

“thank you.”

The owner’s grandmother told me that they were fishermen doing fish farming or riding a fishing boat to catch skates, a local specialty.

This place without a signboard seemed to serve as their love room.

Outside the open store, the elderly who were playing with gum tickets and kkandoli kkansuni from hand to hand seemed to be having fun, and talked to the young man who seemed to be the youngest.

“Hey.. Go inside and bring me something to eat..”

I’ve never raised a dog, but what captivates them is knowing that they have nothing but food or pocket money.

“hey..”

As a young man, he looked ten years older than me.

I stopped looking around the store and handed him an emergency supply of nuts and bits of fruit.

“If you give me this, I will eat well.”

“Hey, you guys eat things that are more precious than people.. you have a lot of trouble.”

foot.

The friendly dialect and facial expressions made it fun.

I waited for the rice to be served while watching the fun of playing with gumballs outside.

“Wow~”

After a while..

I exclaimed when I saw the white rice that came out.

‘This… isn’t the usual 100 spots?’

The large amount of food and side dishes on the tray exceeded 10 at a glance.

It was clear that he was personally practicing the saying that food is Jeolla-do.

I was hesitant to use chopsticks, curious about the number of side dishes and the identity of the food, when the owner grandmother put down the yellow kettle and opened her mouth.

“Hongeo.. Yo, Hongsan also tastes best when eaten with takju.”

“Ah, thank you. thank you for this food.”

At the same time, he took my hand and poured me a glass of makgeolli.

Hongsando Takju was different from the makgeolli that I had eaten so far, and it had a darker color and a bitter scent.

The requisites, steamed skate, sashimi, seasoned liver, seasoned seaweed, etc.. etc. The owner lady explained each and every thing for me who was curious.

“Leisure, skates are famous, and seaweed is also famous..”

“Oh yeah. I will eat very well.”

Although each side dish has a rough taste, it was a side dish that could fully enjoy the feeling of Hongsan Island.

What was curious was that the sashimi, which was served on a small plate, did not taste like what others were saying, because it was disgusting.

It’s just that the texture is a little duller than the regular one.

The chewy taste was excellent, but it didn’t taste fermented.

Well, the taste was incomparable, though.

The kimchi and a few pieces of raw skate on the plate disappeared first after a few sips of rice wine.

“Hey. It tastes so good.”

The owner’s grandmother smiles as she takes off her shoes and sits on the rest floor, trimming her needle nose.

First meal in Hongsan Island.

I ate a lot and enjoyed it, but something was missing.

Is it because I couldn’t eat the fermented skate that is said to make my nostrils pierce when I eat it?

‘Okay, let’s eat the fermented skate tomorrow.’

As I was putting aside my regret, the villagers came inside with a clamor, carrying chewing gum one by one.

“No, did Young Aengban eat so poorly and work hard? I’ll give you some dried red beans and write, what is this, this.”

“Modana.. Seoul Saeram can’t eat fermented skate. Can you eat it?”

It seemed like he was talking to me, so I had to answer.

How strong is that taste?

“Ah.. but I still want to try it, hahahahaha.”

“Is that so?”

“yes..”

“Well, he said he would come tomorrow. tomorrow..”

“yes! Well then, I’ll come back tomorrow evening to eat well-fermented skate. ha ha ha. I really enjoyed the food today.”

“Wo Hongsando is famous for raw skate, but Agu and seaweed are also famous. It’s going to end very well.”

“Ah… then, ma’am. Can I pack it up right now?”

I wanted to go back to the site and have another drink.

Hongsan is also steamed monkfish.. This is great.

The owner’s grandmother pierced the nose of the line needle that was catching skates and went into the kitchen without saying a word.

Villagers are interested in my trip, asking where my accommodation is.. when I came.. and when I went.. etc.

For a while, we continued our conversation using my trip as a snack.

A middle-aged man came in, complaining of dissatisfaction.

“..Hongsik was late finishing work today..”

“Aww, there are so many mice, and it’s not a mess. Ningimi.. It’s big.. War, war. The abalone caught and eaten by the rats is already worth tens of millions of won. Nimiral…”

“Wow, there are butterflies that you raise.”

“Ah, now the butterfly hasn’t been hatched for a while, and it’s stuck, stuck. I can’t take a stray kitty and eh..”

Park Hong-shik, who is engaged in abalone farming here, is surprised to find chewing gum and kandolsooni that are now stumbling around the store.

“No, do you have all of them?”

I would have eaten all the rice.

Now I had to get up and take care of them.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry. These are the guys I brought, and I was eating.. Guys, you should come here.”

Park Hong-sik and the villagers are surprised to see the guys rushing into my arms and over my shoulder with my words.

“Aww, I understand you very well.”

“You don’t know if you have to go through it to listen to me this well.”

In the meantime… the owner’s grandmother came out with steamed monkfish from Hongsan Island.

“Yo..Eat the pot and bring it tomorrow.”

“Yes, I will.”

I ate the food deliciously, but my salivary glands are still exploding.

The owner’s grandmother and some villagers came out to help put a large pot of steamed monkfish in the basket in front of the bike.

I didn’t forget to put a newspaper on top of the pot to block the heat because chewing gum had to sit on it.

“How much can I give you?”

I was surprised when I asked for the price of the meal.

Well, I ate more than ten side dishes and even ate makgeolli, but the cost of the meal was only 10,000 won.

It was because monkfish stew received 30,000 won.

‘Wow, is there anything left after receiving this?’

“If you do this to make money, it’s all.. you do it for fun. For fun…”

“I ate well today. I will eat this pot well, wash it clean, and bring it to you.”

I was ashamed to hand over four 10,000-won bills, but Park Hong-sik, who works in abalone farming, followed me outside.

He must have asked the villagers inside to find out more about me or who the strange visitor was who was traveling with his dog noisily.

“Can I talk to you for a moment?”

“Yes.”

I had to get back down on the bike I was on.

The smell of steamed monkfish wafted from the front.

“I don’t know if these guys will be able to catch the rats in the farm tomorrow.”

“!”

Park Hong-sik’s words seemed to think that Nabi, a cat raised in an abalone farm floating on the sea, couldn’t catch mice, so if Doongdoongi, Cloud, and Kkandolkansuni were playing around for a day, they could catch mice.

I mean, I hear you well.

Well, I read an article about squirrels catching and eating mice.

‘Cache is the best for catching mice. hmm.’

“Well, I’ve never seen them catch them…”

“Aww, the best toy ever, for you guys, take a look, it’s so much fun. I’ll pay you a day’s wages…”

I was tempted to say that I would pay my daily wage, but an idea came to me in a flash.

“Well, there are conditions. Please allow me to broadcast on You Tube. I want to take pictures of our chewing gums playing in the farm, and I also want to show Hongsan and the sea.”

“Tell me what to do, do whatever you want.”
