Living in a Garage With an Alien Car

no.

This is their character and personality.

It was seen not only in me, but also in the attitude of treating others.

Kind, affectionate, and conversely, the attitude of thinking and speaking from the customer’s point of view.

I don’t have to be particularly burdened.

I came to Jeju Island with the intention of staying through the winter anyway.

“Hyung, can you stop waking up?”

“Okay, should I call a substitute?”

“Thank you for listening to me today.”

“No, it must have been difficult to pull it out… Rather, I’m more grateful for talking to me.”

“Strangely, I felt at ease like an older brother.”

“…”

weird isn’t it I was also picky with my younger brother Dami..

“Let’s buy something to eat tomorrow morning and go in, right? There are Jeju Island foods that are easy to eat in the morning.”

“Oh, yes?”

“Yes, it is Jeju Island’s local food.”

What else? You’re looking forward to it. younger brother Ki-Hoon.

Bingtteok and Buckwheat Kimchi Pancake

thump thump.

Ki-hoon, who was drunk, led me somewhere.

The asphalt road with no distinction between the sidewalk and the road was guiding us safely only with the faint light from the residential area.

“It’s near me. It’s not time to close yet, so it’s enough to go now.”

It is a Jeju Island local food that is easy to eat in the morning.

“What is it?”

“It’s rice cake.”

“rice cake?”

“Yes, Bingtteok?”

Bingtteok?

Is it cold rice cake?

It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.

Even if you’ve heard of Injeolmi, Shirutteok, Omegitteok, and Garaetteok, it’s Bingtteok.

There are so many new things in Jeju Island.

I can’t come to my senses…

“I consider it. You can see them making their own bingtteok.”

“ah…”

I stood in front of a shabby store mixed with a residential area.

Under the eaves of the store, under a dusty awning, hung a faded, old placard reading ‘Bingtteok made from buckwheat from Jeju’.

It was a long-established rice cake shop where you can get a glimpse of the traces and skills of the long years.

Until now, countless people must have come in and out of this place repeatedly.

I couldn’t take my feet off for a while, keeping an eye on the store.

“Mother, hello!”

From the outside, you can see the raucous opening of the aluminum sliding door, going inside, saying hello, and ordering.

Nucksal, friendliness, and friendliness that cannot be seen in urban youth.

Is it because I am a native here?

It is a gihun that makes people feel comfortable no matter who they meet.

For the first time, I felt sorry for his brother who passed away early, who had such a younger brother.

Others said that dead people are dead and living people should live…

They say the living are pitiful, but… the dead are the most pitiful.

What a great happiness it is to be breathing in this harsh world.

drooling.

Jin Ki-hun opens the half-open door again and calls me.

“Hyung-nim, you should watch him make bingtteok.”

‘Ha.. I really don’t think a place like this should disappear easily. I want to leave it as a record.’

suddenly,

I took out the action cam from my backpack and activated it.

“Can I take a video? Editing will be good for the company.”

Jin Ki-hun looks slightly surprised.

Everyone is taking videos and taking pictures, but I am surprised to hear that the company edits them.

It seems that you don’t know that I am a million youtuber yet.

what can you do 1 million youtubers.

“Hyung-nim is also on you tube. of course. Take a good picture and promote it a lot. Even if you don’t advertise, business will go well, but…”

Dolhareubang stands firmly as an ornament in front of the store.

I went inside thinking of taking a ‘model shop’ mark attached to the bottom as an opening.

It’s a record rather than publicity, so naturally.

“hello.”

I was greeted and smiled as I entered.

When I went in with the camera, Ki-hoon and the owner’s lady’s expression… hardened.

It’s not that I’m offended or offended…

uh?

You seem nervous?

this..

It was my mistake that I thought everyone’s reaction would be the same.

I don’t know about the owner’s mother, Ki-hoon, isn’t it too much for you to do this?

If the energy of the makgeolli and craft beer you ate remains, you won’t be nervous… Put.

Sorry, I immediately put down the camera.

“sorry.”

“Mother, he is our customer and he is the older brother I call Big Brother.”

“Ummm, I think you look alike your brother Ki-cheol..”

My brother is a gicheol. Gicheol Jin.

“By the way, what are you going to take a picture of.. is that a camera?”

“Yes, it was the first time I ate bingtteok, so it was amazing, so I’m going to keep it as a record. May I take a picture?”

You should have asked for forgiveness first.

It is my mistake.

“People keep filming because they have something to film, this is true.”

When people visit, many people say it’s amazing, and it’s easy to take pictures and videos.

Even so, the mother of the owner fixes the apron and looks inside to see if there is anything dirty.

“Mother, don’t take pictures of your face. I only film making bingtteok. That’s right, bro.”

“That’s right.”

“That’s… Noutuben or something?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“It’s good that customers come when you go to the store. Please take a good picture.”

“Okay, let’s take a good shot.”

“Mother, please make me plenty to eat for breakfast tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Ki-hoon sat down at the table.

I followed my mother into the kitchen where they were making bingtteok.

The kitchen here was located at the entrance, not inside the store.

There is a window to the outside, so if you make it and display it, you can see the food and take it out outside.

All snack bars and market stores in the city are this way, but this place was located in a residential area, so it was not like that.

Because it is an old building, it is a structure that goes inside and receives food.

Rather than pursuing convenience, you probably don’t feel the need for it.

Because repairs cost money.

I thought that if I did the old entrance construction, there would be more orders and business would go well.

anyway,

I asked while taking pictures of my mother’s hand, who was accustomed to moving.

“Mother, what is this and what is that?”

“The requirements are buckwheat dough from Jeju Island, and radish seasoning that fits within the requirements.”

“So, Bingtteokgi… is it like a cracker?”

“You can’t see it that way. Cook this buckwheat dough in a frying pan, add seasoned radish inside, and roll it up.”

Bingtteok is very simple to make.

Chi profit.

Apply oil to the heated square iron plate, scoop up the buckwheat dough with a ladle, spread it round and round with a ladle, and return it to cook.

“hahahahaha, that’s interesting.”

“I have to wrap it around like this so it’s thick and doesn’t burst when I eat it.”

“I guess so.”

I thought it might be a skill that comes from experience, that anyone can do, but that not everyone can do.

Immediately, the cooked buckwheat pancakes were turned over and the filling was prepared to put inside the buckwheat pancakes.

“What is the material in this filling? mother.”

“radish.”

A laugh came out.

There are no other words.

Cook shredded radish, add chives, sesame seeds and sesame oil and mix well.

If you scoop out well-ripened buckwheat pancakes, put radish on the end, and roll them like gimbap, this is bingtteok.

It’s not a rice cake, but it has a strong feeling like a cracker.

It was amazing, and just looking at it made me feel sleepy.

I made more than twenty bingtteok like that.

“Hyung, since I made it, should I try it?”

“That…then.”

“Mother, please pack the rest.”

“This can be bland, so if it doesn’t suit your taste, dip it in soy sauce and eat it.

Yes, mother.”

From noble mtl dot com

I picked up a piece of bingtteok and took a bite.

mumble, mumble. gulp.

“hmm…”

It was fresh, tender, and plain.

The taste may be plain for people who are accustomed to strong food like us, but it feels like your body is getting healthier.

I don’t think it’s useless to say that Ki-hoon can easily eat in the morning without burden.

“Brother, how are you?”

“delicious. I think it’s savory, buckwheat, and goes well together. I like to eat it for breakfast. I don’t have any burden on my stomach… Thank you, I’ll eat well.”

“Stay still. If you eat bingtteok for breakfast, you might feel greasy.. Eat it with garlic jjangajji.”

“Yes, Mother, thank you.”

“Stay still. Leftover seaweed before buckwheat…”

After packing the bingtteok, the woman took something out of the refrigerator and headed to the kitchen.

Immediately, a sour smell began to vibrate in the empty store.

“I made some buckwheat kimchi crackers because I had leftover buckwheat dough. If you eat it with bingtteok, it will go well together.”

“As expected, my mother is a sensible person. Hyung, let’s try the kimchi buckwheat cracker too.”

“Is that so?”

Soft and savory bingtteok and sour and spicy buckwheat kimchi pancakes.

The two balance the flavors well.

I’m not sure which one suits my taste better.

I just think the balance and harmony of the flavors are great.

the next morning.

I was busy setting up the picnic table to eat the bingtteok and buckwheat kimchi pancakes I had packed yesterday.

Maybe today is the day I get my license, so I’m a bit nervous.

‘What if I fall?’

During the trip, I try not to worry for the first time.

This is not the purpose of my trip.

“If A falls, let’s accept it as it falls. What is the license?”

If you fall, you can try again.

For now, focus on eating.

I immediately threw my worries away.

It was because of the bingtteok I bought yesterday and the buckwheat kimchi pancake they gave me as a bonus.

Because the taste balance and compatibility were right, I was eating without any burden.

Ten bingtteok.

There are about 10 buckwheat kimchi crackers, but half are left.

“Keep it off. Ate well. You can eat the leftovers tomorrow, okay?”

I put the remaining bingtteok and buckwheat crackers in a container and put them in the refrigerator.

If you turn it on the stove for 10 seconds, you can eat it very well, so there is nothing to worry about.

Gihun said he was coming to pick me up, so I had time to spare.

I thought I could boil coffee for the first time in a while, so I put water on the mini gas burner.

sol sol sol.

Today, I’m thinking of just warming up a refreshing Americano.

slurp.

The hot coffee warmed the body.

It was less than Jirisan, but it is a season with a large temperature difference between night and day.

It didn’t drop below freezing, but when the wind blows, the perceived temperature drops even more.

Now, as the sun rises, the dew dries and the temperature of the earth rises slowly.

You should enjoy it.

It means that we will do everything we can until the temperature drops below freezing.

slurp.

While drinking coffee, my willpower, which had been lethargic before eating bingtteok, flared up again.

“Okay, let’s do well in the certification test today. you can do it. I can.”
