Chapter 568 – Chapter 568. Waiting for Pizza
Immediately after entering the pizza restaurant, I checked with a heat detector at the recommendation of the staff, and as a result, there was nothing wrong with Song Ji-eun and me.
We filled out a log of our visits and settled into a good spot in a corner by the window.
“Are you okay here?”
“Yes, I like it.”
We looked at the menu immediately after being seated.
On the menu board, I unfolded the side with the new menu that I had seen on the poster, and turned it so that Song Ji-eun could see it in her right direction.
“How about this?”
When I showed the menu, Song Ji-eun sat on a long chair and pulled her upper body forward slightly as she looked at the menu, she said.
“Wow, it must be really delicious?”
“Okay. Let’s do this.”
The menu was easy to decide, and we placed our order right away.
It would take a while for the menu to appear.
In the meantime, we got to talking.
It’s been a long time since we met, so we had a lot to talk about.
After coming to the restaurant, we took off our masks.
Maybe because Jieun wore a mask, she changed a little from the previous makeup method of women’s Iljin style, and overall, except for the eye makeup, it changed to a light natural tone.
Nevertheless, it was felt that there was no change in her considerable beauty.
Moreover, after I became a creator, I saw a lot of gorgeous beauties through numerous joint broadcasts, but Ji-eun was not inferior to them at all.
We chatted casually while waiting for the menu.
Song Ji-eun was still worried.
Judging by her appearance, she is a sophisticated beauty, so she doesn’t seem to have a lot of thoughts when she just looks at her.
However, contrary to her outward appearance, Song Ji-eun is very worried, like the main character in the lion idiom, Ji-woo, who is Gi-in.
Song Ji-eun has so many different worries that she wonders if she’s concerned about what’s going on all over the earth.
“Brother, do you know what? Our country has not yet obtained the Pfizer vaccine. That’s why the staff said they were scolded.”
I have no idea which staff member is responsible for getting the vaccine, and I asked Song Ji-eun about the vaccine.
“Pfizer? What is it?”
“The name of an American vaccine. It’s still the best deal in the world.”
“Oh, I see.”
Listening to Song Ji-eun’s words, I thought I had heard her somewhere.
In the news, stories about vaccines flow every day.
But in my case, I didn’t really pay attention to it.
I think it’s because I didn’t think it was a problem that I could change.
I’m not bringing in the vaccine myself, and since I know that the vaccine hasn’t come in yet, I haven’t decided yet whether it will fit or not.
Song Ji-eun continued.
“But that is, they said that Korea couldn’t get the Pfizer vaccine, so they got AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca is a British vaccine, but British people don’t get it and get American Pfizer… He said he got something that doesn’t fit in our country.”
I said to Song Ji-eun with a smile.
“Ah, no way. Our country is still an advanced country, but they will find a good vaccine on their own.”
According to Song Ji-eun, foreign countries get good vaccines, but our country has not yet obtained good vaccines, and the vaccines obtained are not good.
But I wondered if there was something wrong with Song Ji-eun’s words.
Depending on where the criteria for developed countries are set, the evaluation may change, but considering the physical standards such as the absolute standard of living, for now, our country is a sufficiently developed country and I think it is an advanced country.
I thought that there was no way that our country could not obtain vaccines that are well sought by foreign countries.
“No, oppa. The effectiveness of the AstraZeneca vaccine falls to more than 70% compared to more than 90% of the Pfizer vaccine, and the Pfizer vaccine is still under negotiation, so it will only be known after a while. Other countries are the places where Pfizer was obtained. There are also many.”
“Okay?”
“There are many people whose livelihoods are threatened, including the self-employed, and it is regrettable. How long will we have to live under the threat of a plague like this?”
I thought that even if our country did not get a vaccine now, if we believed and waited, we would get it on our own.
Above all, since vaccine import is not something I can change, I thought that the high-ranking people in charge of it would have to solve it well.
I decided to end this story appropriately to reassure Song Ji-eun.
“I don’t know about that. But since our country has a good friendly relationship with the United States, wouldn’t it be possible for the contract to work out again soon?”
“Whoa~, that would be nice~.”
Song Ji-eun shook her head and expressed a little concern.
And as I was about to wrap up the topic of vaccines here, she said to me as if she had just remembered.
“Brother, they say that raw vegetables and fruits can be dangerous.”
“Why?”
Song Ji-eun said with a serious face.
“They say that raw vegetables and fruits can contain microscopic parasites. Oppa, don’t you have such an experience? If you eat fruit at home and leave the food waste alone, fruit flies will start appearing somewhere without you knowing.”
The birth of fruit flies.
It was something that anyone would have experienced.
“Hmm. Of course there are experiences like that.”
I nodded.
Song Ji-eun continued to talk to me.
“It doesn’t come from nothing, it’s easy to see attached to the skin of the fruit, and it’s often attached in the form of a pupa or larva. They say that when they come home, they become adults at room temperature and grow and start breeding. They say they lay more than 100 eggs at a time.”
“I can.”
Song Ji-eun’s words were quite logical.
Come to think of it, fruit flies, which normally do not occur at all, appear only when you eat fruits.
So, originally, fruit flies would not exist without fruit flies, but when food waste such as fruit peels arise, they must fly somewhere, which is not common sense.
However, as Song Ji-eun said, there were no fruit flies originally, but there is a good chance if they come on fruit peels from the beginning.
Song Ji-eun has been telling me more.
“As time goes by, such invisible eggs awaken more and more, and fruit flies constantly appear if fruit peels or stems are not discarded in time. And these invisible eggs are not only fruit fly eggs, but also They say there are many microscopic parasites that can be harmful.”
“Ah.”
This time, it was Song Ji-eun who went a little deeper into the story of microparasites with a concept similar to fruit fly eggs.
“Microparasites do not occur in fruits that change from sour to sweet, such as peaches and apples, but they do occur in fruits that are sweet from the beginning, such as watermelon.”
“I see. Still, we know that sashimi may contain parasites, but for now, we eat deliciously and sometimes take insect repellent, right? Wouldn’t it be okay if we took insect repellent once in a while?”
I didn’t worry too much there either.
Eating sashimi every year can lead to infection with parasites or exposure to various germs such as Vibrio bacteria.
However, it is impossible not to eat sashimi just because there is a low possibility of being infected with parasites or bacteria.
Therefore, I thought that it would be okay to eat sashimi deliciously and take an insect repellent from time to time.
I wondered if the fruits and raw vegetables Song Ji-eun was talking about were the same as in the case of sashimi.
I thought that it would be enough to eat deliciously and take an insect repellent from time to time, and I asked if it was okay to eat something like that and take an insect repellent in preparation for the unexpected.
Then Song Ji-eun spoke to me with a slightly brighter face.
“That’s right. So, there are many places where you usually take insect repellent twice a year, spring and fall, at home, right?”
“Um. That’s right.”
When I affirmed, Song Ji-eun spoke a little more.
“They say that even microscopic parasites can’t live in foods that are salted like kimchi. That’s why… If possible, it’s better to heat it up and eat it. For example, boil paprika, garlic, onion, cabbage, etc. Even microscopic parasites were killed.”
“Hmm. That’s unexpected. I thought raw food was good for the body, but there’s another risk that something raw like sashimi can indispensably have.”
Song Ji-eun was worried before and now.
Some of it was about world peace, some was financial, and like today, some was about health and wellness.
Although Song Ji-eun’s words are a story that can cause some sense of crisis, I still can’t solve problems like vaccines, and in the case of microparasites, it’s a big problem because I just need to simply take an insect repellent once in spring and fall. Thought it was not
While me and Song Ji-eun were talking, a message popped up on Song Ji-eun’s cell phone.
Song Ji-eun saw her post uploaded as a preview after her own smart phone vibrated.
Then she looked at it, then looked back at me and said to me.
“That~ brother.”
“Hmm?”
When I asked briefly, Song Ji-eun told me.
“I got a text from Yoon-kyung, and if it’s okay today, he wants to have dinner with me. Oppa, can I call Yoon-kyung over here?”
