Chapter 93 For Your Health

　　After another ten minutes, Yoon Jong Shin finally finished laying the hay and looked at his work with great satisfaction. He nodded continuously: "Hey, you guys saw it? My masterpiece!"

　　"I saw it. You are so arrogant after seeing it once. I think you are hopeless," Lee Hyo-ri said speechlessly.

　　"Really? You guys were lazy while I was working. I'm so disappointed," Yoon Jong-shin said aggrievedly.

　　Liu Jae-suk and others were too lazy to argue with Yoon Jong-shin.

　　"Ah Shun, thank you for your help and pick out a good one for us." Liu Zaishi said speechlessly to Yoon Jong Shin, looking at Ah Shun.

　　"Yes~" Ah Shun nodded, and immediately entered the chicken coop. After careful observation, he grabbed a chicken and walked over.

　　"Oh my god~" Seeing the chicken moving towards her step by step, Enya stepped back step by step.

　　"Haha" everyone laughed.

　　"Enya, are you still afraid of this?" Liu Jae-seok said magically.

　　"Of course, he's still alive, of course he's scared," Enya said.

　　"Ah Soon, how do you tell the quality of chicken?" Lee Hyo-ri asked Ah Soon.

　　"First, check if the chicken has spirit, then check if the butt is dry, and if the wings are smooth..." Ah Shun began to explain. Enya was stunned by what she heard, totally amazed.

　　Anyway, they finally got the chicken. Of course, Li Tianxi took the chicken, and the others took the potatoes, radishes and other things and started to return.

　　"Wow, big deal!" Eun-ya suddenly yelled, and everyone looked up subconsciously. The woodcutting team had returned. Kim Jong-kook, Kang Dae-sung, and Kim Soo-ro were carrying firewood and walking with Yoona, talking and laughing, but Park Ye-jin followed behind with a bitter face. It seemed that these men were all around Yoona and forgot about Park Ye-jin.

　　"Oh~" Yoona also noticed Enya and others and waved excitedly.

　　"Brother, what's in your hand?" Jiang Dacheng asked curiously as he looked at the furry unidentified object in Li Tianxi's hand.

　　"Hey, look at you." Li Tianxi proudly showed the chicken in his hand to everyone.

　　“Wow, great!” Kim Soo-ro’s eyes lit up immediately when he saw the meat.

　　"Chicken? Where did it come from?" Kim Jong Kook looked at Enya and the others in disbelief.

　　"When Jong Shin saw the chicken, he wanted to eat it very much, so he asked the chicken's owner for help, and we exchanged our labor for the chicken," Yoo Jae Suk explained.

　　"Great! It's such a rare opportunity to be together! We can even eat chicken!" The men in the wood-cutting team exclaimed.

　　Everyone returned to the house and started preparing today's lunch.

　　"There are so many of us, one chicken doesn't seem to be enough, right?" Yoon Jong Shin wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "Since there are so many of us, one chicken is not enough, why don't you give me half? How about you use the other half to make soup?"

　　"What is this brother talking about?" Kim Jong Kook and others immediately looked at Yoon Jong Shin ridiculously.

　　"I was just talking casually, ha~" Yoon Jong Shin laughed.

　　"Enya, Yoona, you guys cook the rice. As for the chicken, I and..." Yoo Jae-seok began to assign tasks. Enya and Yoona were tasked with cooking rice. After all, they were guests and they were so young. What could they cook? As long as they could cook rice, they would be thankful.

　　Everyone started to move...but...Yoon Jong Shin was just sitting there watching everyone. He was being lazy again. Yoo Jae Suk was well aware of this, so he put Yoon Jong Shin and Kim Jong Kook in the same group to add fuel to the fire. To put it bluntly, Kim Jong Kook alone was enough.


　　"Enya, can you cook?" Yoona asked in confusion. Enya knew Yoona couldn't cook from her expression. She couldn't help but brag: "Of course, I can't do anything else, but I'm very confident in cooking~"

　　"Oh? Really?" Yoona looked at Enya in surprise.

　　"Hey hey... look at me... huh?" Enya turned around and was stunned when she saw the cooking utensils. Unlike in Seoul, where rice is cooked with a rice cooker, here... there is no rice cooker, only a pot for cooking, and there is no gas, so she can only cook with firewood.

　　"What's wrong?" Seeing Enya suddenly stunned, Yoona asked curiously.

　　"This...is different from the one at home. The one at home is a rice cooker, and this is this." Enya pointed helplessly at the tools in front of her.

　　"Is there anything different?" Yoona asked dully, before she could react.

　　"Of course it's different. The rice cooker uses electricity, and here we use fire. Moreover, it is too difficult to cook so many portions of rice with fire," Enya said in embarrassment.

　　"There doesn't seem to be much difference. One uses electricity and the other uses fire. Enya, you're good at cooking with fire, right?" Yoona said.

　　"Let's try it." Enya shook her head. There was a big difference in this aspect. As long as the rice and water were properly distributed in the rice cooker, it could make very good rice. But for this, I didn't know if the ratio of water to rice was the same as that of the rice cooker, and I didn't know how big the fire was.

　　The first thing is to wash the rice. To make ten portions of rice, the amount of rice is very large, and it is also very difficult to wash. Fortunately, Enya is not the only one to complete this task, and Yoona also helps.


　　After washing the rice, Kim Jong Kook went out to help Eunya light the fire and put the firewood next to her. Eunya and Yoona sat aside and looked at the boiling pot.

　　"Oh~ It tastes good." Suddenly, the aroma floated over. It was the chicken dish that Yoo Jae-seok and Lee Chun-hee were responsible for. Because there were ten people eating lunch, one chicken was not enough, so Yoo Jae-seok made the chicken into chicken soup. In addition to the chicken, there were only radishes in the chicken soup. Although there were potatoes and cabbage, it was too strange to put them in the chicken soup. But even if there were only radishes, the taste of the chicken soup smelled very good under Yoo Jae-seok's cooking.

　　Eun-ya stood up and looked towards Yoo Jae-seok. The chicken soup was boiling now, and Yoo Jae-seok was staring at it very intently. Eun-ya's body slowly moved towards Yoo Jae-seok, and Yoona did the same.

　　"Wow, it smells so good, Oppa~" Enya said to Yoo Jae Suk.

　　"Hehe, of course. I'm a great chef. How can I survive if I can't handle this chicken?" Liu Jae Suk said with a smile.

　　"Oh~ It tastes really good." Lee Hyori and others who were making other dishes were attracted by Yoo Jae Suk's chicken dish.

　　"Haha, of course~ Hey, it's not like you don't know my cooking skills, so there's no need to say it out loud." Yoo Jae Suk's expression was very proud, and his body swayed unconsciously.

　　"Let me have a taste." Yoon Jong Shin walked to Yoo Jae Suk's side at some point and stared at the chicken soup.

　　"What are you tasting?" Yoo Jae-seok looked at Yoon Jong-shin ridiculously: "It's not cooked yet~"

　　"Ah...really?" When Yoon Jong-shin heard that it was not cooked yet, he immediately lost interest.

　　"Brother, why is it not cooked yet? Hasn't it been cooked for a long time?" Kim Jong Kook looked at Yoo Jae Suk in confusion.

　　"What's the most important thing about chicken soup?" Yoo Jae Suk looked at Kim Jong Kook seriously.

　　"What...is it?" Not only Kim Jong Kook, but Enya and others also showed confused expressions.

　　"Patience~" Liu Zaishi's expression became very mysterious: "Chicken soup, the longer you cook it, the better it will taste if you cook it with your heart~"

　　"Oppa, you seem like a charlatan now," Enya said suddenly.

　　"Pfft~" Everyone burst into laughter immediately.

　　"Well, of course you have to put your sincerity into cooking~" For some reason, Yoo Jae Suk's face turned slightly red.

　　"But...what is this smell?" Liu Jae-seok was stunned and said in confusion after sniffing deeply.

　　"Oh?" Lee Hyori and others seemed to smell something strange and looked around with frowns.

　　"This smell is..." Enya also smelled this smell, it was a burning smell, and it was...

　　Eun-ya and Yoona turned around suddenly and ran towards the rice they were responsible for. When they opened the lid, a strong burnt smell came out.

　　"Oh! What's this taste!?" Kim Jong Kook and others also walked to Enya and looked at the rice inside.

　　"The bottom seems to be burnt, but the top part is not cooked yet." Kim Jong Kook immediately judged the food cooked by Eun-ya and Yoona.

　　"Ah?" Enya and Yoona shouted in surprise.

　　"Oh my god, this is a serious situation." Liu Zaishi also came over and frowned at the pot of rice: "It seems that there is too little water. How much water did you put in, Enya?"

　　"Well...just like when we cook it at home, the water should be a palm's thickness more than the rice," Enya said.

　　"Haha, this is not home, and this is not a rice cooker," Liu Jae-seok suddenly laughed.

　　"Oppa, what should we do now?" Enya said anxiously.

　　"Add some more water and keep going." Liu Zaishi shook his head: "There's nothing we can do about it."

　　"Yes~" Enya immediately went to get some water and poured it in. She looked at Liu Zaishi uncertainly: "Is this all right?"

　　"Well, it's okay. Just wait for the rest of the time. Be sure to watch it carefully. Check it if there is any burnt smell. Don't open the lid at other times," said Yoo Jae-seok.

　　"Yes! We will definitely watch it," said Enya and Yoona in unison. Enya and Yoona also made military poses, which was very funny.

　　For the rest of the time, Enya and Yoona stared at the rice very attentively. Although it was useless for them to stare at it, they were praying in their hearts, hoping that this pot of rice could be saved.

　　------------------------------------------------------------ of －－－－－－－

　　Time passed slowly and everyone's dishes were ready. Although the bottom of the rice made by Enya and Yoona was burnt, the rest of the rice was very good. Of course, there was still a little burnt smell, but this was not a problem.

　　Chicken soup, stir-fried potato shreds with chili peppers, pickled radish cubes, boiled cabbage. It's such a simple dish, but it's the result of everyone's hard work.

　　All the food was served on the table.

　　"I'll eat well" is a Korean greeting before a meal. Enya couldn't wait to take a bite of the rice she and Yoona cooked. Although it was a bit dry, it was still very good in other aspects. At least it was edible.

　　"Oh~ I didn't expect that this rice could be saved~" Yoon Jong-shin said in surprise.

　　"Of course, this chef's method can definitely save it," Liu Jae-seok nodded with satisfaction.

　　"Really? God of Cooking?" Lee Hyori frowned. "Explain to me why this chicken soup has no taste?"

　　"No taste?" Chicken Soup. It was a rare opportunity to eat chicken dishes in a family celebration, so Yoon Jong-shin immediately picked up the spoon and took a sip. The taste was very, very light, almost like boiled water.

　　"What is this? Why is it so bland? It tastes like water." Yoon Jong Shin looked at Yoo Jae Suk speechlessly.

　　"This is for everyone's health. I didn't add any seasoning to this dish..." Liu Jae-seok began to explain.

　　"Wait a minute, what did you say? No seasoning added? No salt added either?" Lee Hyori said quickly.

　　"Of course, this is a dish I just learned not long ago. Eating it this way is very healthy for your body." Liu Zaishi said: "Jong Xin, don't you always say that you have health problems? Drink more of this soup, it's good for your body."

　　"You...!" Yoon Jong Shin wanted to scold Yoo Jae Suk now. It was a rare occasion for the family to have chicken to eat. Even if we take a step back, we could make soup! But what kind of healthy and tasteless chicken soup was it? Isn't this just kidding!
