the next morning.

“A-Are you so eager to win!”

“That sound again. Aren’t you tired of it? Seriously, this is the last time, so listen carefully. Sura Gong is also a martial art created by the Heavenly Demon. It’s only natural that I was attracted to him as a warrior because it shares the same arc with the trick of the Heavenly Demon Goddess.”

“Me, White and Red. What would you like to eat?”

Minjun’s efforts to intervene were thoroughly ignored.

The boy who returned complained.

“By the way, is it Sundaegukbap again? … … It’s not my opinion. I, of course, understand your master’s quirks. But there are great teachers.”

The boy grumbled to himself and then, guessing, shrank. But, of course, the fist that had to fly in came in the dark, so he opened his eyes and checked me.

“Aren’t you hitting me?”

In the meantime, the guy must have become unbearable without being hit.

Still, I’m a nobleman.

I’m just a small crab who is cute and I’m only at the level of hitting a few crabs, but the discipline of the two older brothers is indeed strict.

It wasn’t once or twice that I wondered if I might be catching someone like this.

“No, you’re right.”

“yes?”

“Even on a day like today, I can’t insist on my taste.”

New stages, adventures, and encounters are expected, but the time spent at the hideout is no less than that. It’s already been two weeks since I’ve been locked in the hideout.

In the novel, paragraph 1 is being maintained as it is finished.

But I have a plan to move on to the next paragraph with today as the last one.

In that sense, tonight is a pork belly party.

As this is the last dinner, I want to treat you more special than usual. I’d rather get the ingredients myself.

* * *

“Tomorrow, my younger brother leaves for Jungwon. I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back. It can be long or short.”

We sat around a burner, pan, and chopping board placed on top of newspaper.

Whether I say it or not, the eyes of the three are only focused on the meat. Pork on a cutting board that hasn’t even been put on the grill yet.

Yes, let’s talk while eating. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, isn’t it samgyeopsal.

Before the full-scale start, Minjun made it clear to him.

“Watch and learn.”

What is prepared is a whole chunk with only the ribs covered.

If it were real, it would have been imaginary, but now it can be done.

Minjun arranged the pork evenly as if to show it to him.

“As you can see, the three layers disappear as you go to the lower abdomen. low in fat So, the most delicious pork belly comes from the 6th rib to the 9th rib.”

The trial cut area was so perfect that it did not require any trimming.

Neither too much nor too little fat.

“Look at this. this is what i said You’re awesome.”

“It really is.”

This kind of meat is delicious no matter how you grill it. However, if you really did that, there would be no reason to prepare whole pork belly.

The real reason for preparing whole pork belly lies in the cutting.

“The pork belly is neither too thin nor too thick. If it is thin, it tends to be crispy like a snack, and if it is thick, it contains too much oil and loses its taste. This thickness is good.”

The thickness expressed with the index finger and tongs was about 1 cm.

“Cut while maintaining this thickness evenly, but few people enjoy round bones. So, the first step is to remove the stump before cutting.”

The cartilage was removed with the tip of a cleaver. The flesh itself was the bone itself, not even a drop of flesh came out. The appearance, as if it had been precisely laser cut with a computer, was as expected.

Wolshin hyung-nim didn’t miss this moment and asked him a question.

“What did you feel from your lord’s skill a moment ago? If you haven’t seen anything, you’ve learned in vain.”

“… … I see you separate the line from the line.”

That’s the answer. Because the description of the Gwangyang sword starts from dividing the line.

As a result of steadily receiving guidance from Wolshin-hyung over the past two weeks, I succeeded in dividing the Ilyang Chilgyeok sword to the 6th sword, the Gwangyang sword.

Wolshin-nim looked more disapprovingly at the guy who answered correctly.

“Suksu’s cutting skills and noodle craftsman’s potting skills are no different from our sword fighting. If you become skilled and reach the stage of contemplating the meaning, you can also advance to martial arts.”

“yes.”

“The opposite is also true. Your lord is now teaching you this himself. Where in the world is there such a master? Since you were like a beggar who used to roll on the street, you should know this better than anyone else. Even if you die and become a white bone, you will desperately have to carve into your lacking brain the virtues that you must not forget.”

“yes.”

There is nothing more important than mental education. … … Although it seems a bit excessive.

I waited for Moonshin hyung to finish talking and then started again. It’s time to cut the meat.

If you use a knife, you will inevitably damage the meat. However, there is a state of life and death in Moorim.

Ssueuk-

The cross section of the samgyeop, which was cut like paper, was shiny.

“cadet!”

This time, Ilshin hyung-nim burst into a happy voice. Wolsin hyung-nim also noticed my skill and nodded slowly.

Being able to freely handle raw silk, one of the five rituals of hwagyeong, is proof that the realm of hwagyeong has matured.

Even if you are a master of the same hwagyeong, you will be divided into classes again depending on whether or not you have entered the hwagyeong oui.

[ Moorim’s level (world view)

Hwagyeong: A state in which swordsmanship can be freely handled with a 5-star power.

* Hwagyeong-oui (化境五意): Five insights that can be obtained from the state of Hwagyeong. It is subdivided into subdivided and called, such as Ilhwagyeong (一化境) when one insight is obtained, and Ihwagyeong (二化境) when two insights are obtained.

* When one obtains all five insights and reaches the Five Happiness Realm, the final insight that captures all of them is called the Hwagyeongjongui (五化綜意), and it leads to the next realm, Hyeongyeong. ]

In other words, I was able to say that I had finally taken the first step to challenge the ‘hyeongyeong’, the highest level of the Moorim worldview.

All of this was the fruit of special training with Wolshin-hyung over the past two weeks.

The time spent is only two weeks, but for some, it has yielded results that could not be obtained even after spending two hundred years.

So, to thank my two brothers, I am dedicating myself to this dinner.

“What did you see?”

He couldn’t answer that much this time. It was the first time I had seen a life-death sword, so it was understandable.

The fiercely changing eyes of the older brother of the moon god staring at him were unusual. I put my hand first, thinking that I couldn’t ruin a good time.

I immediately stabbed the cleaver in the boy’s chest and pulled it out.

Wormwood!-

It happened in an instant, with no time for him to react.

The boy flinched a beat late. Realizing what had happened, I followed the area where the knife had gone in and out with my eyes and felt it with my hands.

But there were no traces left of it.

There wasn’t even a hole in it, let alone blood.

“This is a life and death sword.”

killed but brought back to life

He saved them, but they said they would kill them again, so it was life and death. One of the five myths that transcend human perception.

After entering this realm, I learned humility.

this world.

The author’s sincerity mode was able to transcend my imagination.

* * *

“Yumma. It’s not good to flip it often. give it to me.”

Minjun handed me the tongs with a dejected face.

At the same time, the face looking at Wolshin hyung-nim again looks like a frightened poop puppy.

The meat was being grilled well under my hands. Thanks to that, Moon God’s nagging was reduced and he was able to breathe.

In the silence, only the sound of spitting was heard.

“Doesn’t it smell great?”

As the meat was getting cooked, I glanced at Minjun.

He immediately got up and took them out of the refrigerator.

“Soju is the distilled spirit of this country.”

“Anything is fine as long as it’s alcohol.”

While pouring soju for the two older brothers, we grilled kimchi together on one side of the grill.

Samgyeopsal grilled to a golden color, ssamjang, green onion, and ssamgeori piled up like a mountain.

Once the eyes are happy. The smell from the grill delights the nose, and the sound of roasting chiikchiik delights the ears.

But Ilshin hyung-nim couldn’t stand it and made a shot of soju.

“her! If the taste is not deep, the fragrance should be good. There was not even a scent. I’m sorry, but this can’t be called alcohol, aww.”

He responded with a natural smile.

“It will definitely be different from the alcohol your older brothers have been drinking. Of course, there are people who enjoy it alone, but the true value of soju is displayed when paired with food.”

I wrapped the wraps big and handed them to Ilshin-hyung first.

Even if it wasn’t so, the smell alone was enough to make his eyes pop out, but the moment he chewed the wraps, the older brother literally stiffened.

All that moved was a munching mouth and wide open nostrils.

When I was pouring soju into Ilshin’s empty glass.

An exclamation of admiration flowed from the side, as if it had risen from the tip of his chest.

“Sister… … this… … .”

Surprisingly, he is the Wolshin hyung.

Wolsin-hyung didn’t wrap the ssam, and was eating only ssamjang on pork belly.

If that alone is an admiration close to thrill, you will shed tears at the colorful texture and taste that comes when the wraps are evenly wrapped.

“Now drink soju, brother.”

I recommended again.

Ilshin, who was distracted by the flavor of the pork belly, mechanically broke the glass.

Right after that, Ilshin hyung’s eyes were alive. One cup became two, and two became three. It’s not soju that you drink like that, but brother Ilshin was truly aware of the true value of soju.

“How about now?”

“Good good! When you eat and drink meat, it tastes sweet at first, and then the feeling of washing your throat follows!”

“It’s something you can’t feel with Kaoliang wine.”

Kaoliang wine as well as whiskey are too strong and poisonous, which spoils the taste of food.

But not soju. No matter what kind of food you eat, especially meat and stew, it has a magic that enhances the natural taste of food.

“I haven’t had any alcohol I’ve ever had, but I can say for sure that this guy is a monster among monsters. What is the use of melting gold? You can hang out anywhere and enjoy it anytime, so it’s like an old friend. In that sense, it can be said to be the best silk in the world! I met a true friend today!”

Even at that time when Ilshin hyung-nim was excitedly praising soju.

Wolshin hyung-nim is concentrating on pork belly without drinking soju.

It even evokes piety as if a religious ceremony were being held. Moonshin brother’s eyes, filled with wonder, were moist.

I also recommended soju to Wolshin hyung-nim.

“Soju is a special drink. It’s because the taste of alcohol changes depending on how you feel and who you meet.”

After I ate a piece of pork belly, I took one shot and added.

“Today I have a very sweet taste. What does it taste like for you?”

Wolshin-hyung looked at the empty glass and answered.

“It’s sweet for me too.”

It was the smile of Wolshin hyung-nim that I hadn’t seen in a long time.
