Chapter 1186 – I Also Ate Bugs. I Guess I Can Eat at Least a Frog. I Guess So. Yes, That’s Right.
As I found out, the northern mountain frog that my grandfather sent me was a high-class food that only people in the know knew about. But the frog itself seemed to be the reason only those in the know knew about it.
“Ah, Mr. What should I do with this?”
“What should I do? What should I do?” Pour it right away.”
“Then you pour it!”
“What are you trying to make a pregnant woman do?”
“If you’re not going to do it, just stay still! No, ha, but… !”
It was impossible to cook a frog alive. It was cruel, and if it popped out in the middle of cooking, it just looked bad.
“Hey! Be careful not to let it stick out! “If you come this far, you’ll die!”
“Mom. Let’s raise just one. Just one. Huh? I will feed you and clean up all the poop. “I’ll change the water too, okay?”
“Is it Yena? “That’s not something to grow, it’s food?”
“No. This is food that Jiheon and Sohee will eat.”
Even though I ate it, I couldn’t help but hate the women waiting in the living room preparing the grill. I glanced at them once and then turned my attention back to the pot.
Fluffy, fluffy! Hairy chin!
Frogs were constantly moving around in the pot I usually used to boil soup. He tried to run away as if he knew his future.
“If it pops out like before, you’ll really die!”
Taeyeon, who was caught by the frog that had popped out earlier, was especially excited.
“Whoa… !”
Anyway, after taking a deep breath, I put the electric kettle filled with hot water over the pot. After opening the lid enough so that no frogs could pop out, I poured in the steaming hot water.
Left aaaaah, fluffy! Fluffy! Fluffy, fluffy, fluffy!
“Ugh! I’m sorry, baby!”
As I heard the clear sounds of people struggling to survive, I felt the cruelty of humans once again. The Demon King, who was hiding behind and watching, also grabbed my forearm tightly and shuddered.
“Ugh! You! How could they be so cruel!”
“I can’t help it!”
“What a murderer!”
“Oh, that’s not really… “It’s not wrong.”
“Hmm. I’m sorry. “I apologize.”
“No. “It’s a long time ago.”
On a battlefield littered with blood and flesh, we, who met each other as enemies, overcame our awkwardness and waited for the frogs to die. Then, in less than a minute, the sound echoing inside the pot quieted down.
“Is he dead?”
“Oh, you. Don’t raise a flag. Then what happens if he survives?”
“How to live here,”
Fluffy!
“What?! What?!”
“Look. “It’s alive.”
I don’t know if it was coincidence or necessity, but that movement was the last. When I didn’t hear anything after several minutes, I opened the pot and looked for the frogs.
“Oh, they’re all dead. They’re all dead. It will be annihilation.”
“Say something, really.”
Even though I was a little disgusted, the Demon King stopped talking. All the frogs were lying dead in the same position as Se-hee, who got cramps while stretching out on her bed.
“Yes? “Why?”
“No. “It’s nothing.”
I turned my gaze away from Sehee, who had suffered from cramps while sleeping last time, and looked down at the frog again. As I was wondering what to do with this now, the Demon King tapped my shoulder and said.
“You. “If you’re done showering, wipe me now.”
“Do you shower with boiling water?”
“Isn’t that you? “I’m planning to use boiling water today.”
“No?”
While complaining to the devil, I closed the lid of the pot, left it slightly open, and tilted it into the sink. I drained the hot water, picked up the frog, and wiped it with a dishtowel…
“Some kitchen towels.”
“Well, Jim was going to say that too.”
Instead of using a dishcloth to be used again later, I ripped off a kitchen towel that I used once and wiped away any moisture and possible foreign substances on the surface. Now that the frogs have cleaned themselves one by one, where are they headed next? I’m really, sorry, but… !
“You guys! You’re ready! “Turn on the fire!”
“Yes, I understand.”
It was a grill that was much hotter than boiling water.
Tak!
Minah turned on the light on the burner she had placed on the living room table. Now, the fire will start preparing to roast the frog by heating up the iron plate on top.
“Here, I brought it.”
I put all the frogs my grandfather had sent me on a tray and brought them with the devil. The women who had taken refuge in the living room frowned upon seeing the dead figure stretched out.
“Do I have to eat this?”
“Eating is essential. It’s good for your body. “It’s good for Jiheon.”
“Hey, Soju. Do you have soju? Something strong, a red toad.”
“No… ! Leave one behind… ! Give it all… !”
Yena’s crying was for a different reason.
“It’s Yena.”
Taeyeon secretly called out to Yena, who looked as if the corners of her mouth were going down until they reached the floor. Looking with her moist eyes, she glanced at Jena towards her kitchen.
“!”
She quickly realized what he meant and raised the corners of her mouth. She was happy to see Jena brightening up and placed her hand on her grill.
“What! “There you are!”
The devil suddenly grabbed her hand when she raised it to check if the grill was hot and took it away. Why did she do that? She spouted nonsense at me who was looking at me without even being able to ask.
“You! No matter how hungry you are! “How dare you eat her hand!”
“Would I have raised my hand to roast and eat it?”
“Hmm? “Weren’t you sacrificing yourself for your luggage?”
“Why do you make sacrifices like this? “I feel bad.”
If I was on the verge of starvation, they could have cut off my flesh and fed me. But that couldn’t be the case now.
“Mina unnie.”
At this time, Sehee whispered softly to Minah, who was sitting next to him.
“Don’t you think my brother tastes better than the frog?”
“Yes, I agree. But I think Jiheon fed frogs will taste even better.”
“Puhup?! Oh, my brother is a cow that was fed red ginseng… ?”
While the two were talking nonsense, the grill heated up. Instead of using the meat tongs I usually use, I picked up the frogs one by one with wooden chopsticks.
Chiik, chiik, chiik!
“Uuuuu… !”
Taeyeon moaned at the sound made as the water remaining on the frog’s skin boiled. At this time, the way he pulled his head back so much that he had a double chin and looked scared was both funny and cute.
“Ugh.”
At this time, Yena also frowned. I liked frogs as animals to keep, not as food to eat.
“But how ripe is this?”
A question suddenly occurred to me, so I searched for the frog for no reason. The devil slapped me with the back of his hand and spoke nonsense as if nagging me.
“Write! You! What happens when all the juice runs out?”
“No, isn’t this your first time eating this?”
“Isn’t this the basis of meat? “You can’t keep flipping over meat like you’re emotionally unstable!”
“Huh?”
It was definitely something I had heard somewhere. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so familiar to my ears, and the Demon King wouldn’t have looked at me with his blue eyes shining so brightly.
“… No.”
After thinking for a few seconds, I remembered where I heard this. Thinking back to that time, I grumbled just like I heard with the Demon King.
“I do it the way my grandfather taught me. “How can a child who is new to frogs talk so loudly?”
“Puhahahaha! Ahahahaha! Ahahaha! Wow! Also! After all, it’s Jiheon! Wow! Very good!”
“Why? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
The demon king burst out laughing and praised me, giving his thumbs up with both hands. The others suddenly widened their eyes, not knowing why he was doing this.
“Oh! Ugh! “I know!”
At this time, Yena came out and uncovered the devil’s secret.
“I heard this at Suri●! Male ● Male!”
“Ah, ahhh… ! “I wonder where I heard that.”
“I remember. It was one of the conversations between the main character and the undercover agent.”
“What are they doing, huh? Daughter. “Isn’t that 19 years old?”
“…”
Yena, who was smiling brightly after answering the correct answer to Taeyeon’s point while laughing, closed her mouth. She also refused to make eye contact and refused to ask any further questions.
“If it’s like this, it’s probably cooked through, right?”
As they talked about other things besides this, it seemed like the roasted frog was almost cooked. She handed out one frog to each person, which was golden brown and slightly burnt, just as she had seen on the Internet.
“Everyone, everyone, deliciously, no. Just eat it.”
Her conscience pricked her so much that she couldn’t tell her to enjoy it. But they didn’t listen to me at all and just looked down at the roasted frog in front of them.
“Use… ! This, my grandfather… !”
“Ha, I ate bugs too. I guess I can eat at least a frog. I guess so. Yes, that’s right.”
“I will eat well.”
“Grrrr possible ha! Okay! Let’s eat it!”
“Mom. “Can’t I eat this instead?”
The Demon King doubting her grandfather’s love, Se-hee trying to hypnotize her, Min-ah not even putting her hand on her chopsticks when she said she was going to eat, Taeyeon gargling with soju to strengthen her resolve, and even Yena asking Taeyeon to eat for her. Br〉
“I-I’ll try it once…” … !”
On their behalf, I picked up a frog as their representative. The lower body with the legs stretched too long and the upper body with the front feet wide open. While contemplating where to eat, I ended up eating the entire body.
“Ha!”
Uh? What is it?
The texture of the frog skin that touched my teeth was as chewy as dumpling skin. That wasn’t all. The intestines are thick and chewy like rice cakes, and the natural flavor increases the more you chew. This is really… !
“It’s delicious?”
From the moment he picked up the frog with his chopsticks, he told the truth to the women who were looking at him. Of course, I hesitated to eat it at first, as if that couldn’t be possible, but as I ate the leg, my doubts began to ease.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
As the thick leg bones were chewed, they had a different texture from the upper body. In addition, the thigh meat tasted like chicken but also like freshwater fish, and the bitter earthy smell also stimulated the appetite.
“Mmm! Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!”
“Hmm? Hmm?”
“… It’s very delicious.”
The women also ate the frog and were impressed by its taste. The Demon King opened her blue eyes and groaned, Sehee tilted her head as if this couldn’t be happening, and Minah frowned and left an honest impression.
“Sseuup, this is makgeolli… ?”
Taeyeon, who had been rinsing her mouth with soju, also found a drink that goes well with roasted frogs, but the person whose attitude changed the most was Yena.
“Mister. Uncle.”
Yena, who finished off the frog’s upper body in two bites, whispered softly to me. Then he mentioned the frog that Taeyeon had secretly put in her container.
“He also grills and eats it together.”
