EP.324
Lim Ha-yeon’s cooking skills have definitely improved.
“I tried it with beef bulgogi as a side dish.”
A meat side dish with a strong flavor that can be used as a mild side dish or main dish. The rice is sticky, which I like, and even the soup.
It was a great Korean meal to start the day with.
“Huh.”
For some reason, I heard a bustling noise in the early morning. Did you get ready early in the morning even though you didn’t have enough sleep?
“This time I prepared everything myself. “I did get some advice from Master, but…”
Lim Ha-yeon said to me, waving her hands as if she was a little embarrassed.
“It’s delicious. “Let’s listen together.”
A woman who didn’t even know how to cook just a few months ago is at this level.
I’m impressed by whether it’s Suksu Ahn’s teaching skills or Ha-yeon Lim’s ability to absorb things.
“Hmm.”
Im Ha-yeon made a pleasant nasal noise as if she liked eating without saying anything today.
“….”
“Jegal Soje. “Are you having trouble with your mouth?”
Zhugehyang ate a few side dishes and looked at me in silence.
Do you have a favorite side dish?
“no. “It’s delicious… It’s worth eating.”
Zhuge-hyang glanced at Im Ha-yeon and nodded passively.
“This is the end of the meal that Hayeon Sojeo makes. “There is going to be a fight starting in the evening.”
Lunch was served in the guesthouse, and from dinner onwards, Sibi cooked the food, so this was the end of Lim Ha-yeon’s cooking.
I spoke to Lim Ha-yeon with a deliberately exaggerated, regretful expression.
“I can keep making it if you want?”
“…I’m looking forward to dinner.”
“I’d rather swear!”
“It tasted good.”
It’s true that I made a daily order. The growth from 0 is also because of Ilchwiwoljang.
It’s a dream to have a meal prepared for me by a woman, but if I want to eat it every day, I think it’s better to have food from a professional.
“ha. “I’ll bring some tea.”
Is there something on my face? Or maybe Jegalhyang Sojeo doesn’t eat breakfast often.
Zhuge-hyang seemed to be eating and drinking, and kept glancing at me in silence until the meal was over.
“Thank you.”
Jegalhyang and Sojeo and I decided to end our meal with tea served by Im Ha-yeon.
“…?!”
Zhuge-hyang took a sip of the tea that Ha-yeon Lim had poured for him and then looked at the tea with wide, surprised eyes.
“haha. Hayeon Sojeo brews tea really well.”
I didn’t have much of a habit of drinking tea, but I regularly drink the tea that Ha-yeon Lim makes.
“There are also refreshments, so let me know if you want more.”
When Im Ha-yeon held out the refreshments, Zhuge Hyang looked at Im Ha-yeon with a strange expression and then picked up the refreshments.
It looks like the meal is almost over. Let’s talk about business now.
“I have something to talk about with you guys.”
—————
“Now that we’re finishing sorting out the branch books, let’s discuss branch promotion.”
Since the three of us live together, the morning is nice.
From branch owner to store manager to middle management. We can sit together in the living room of the mansion in the morning and discuss things.
Of course, just looking at the candidates for Hubei’s most beautiful woman sitting on either side of them was so aesthetically pleasing that it made my mouth hurt to say the least.
“If it’s the reputation of Dangjiafungun, wouldn’t there be a need to put effort into promoting it?”
Ha-yeon Lim put her tea cup down on the table and tilted her head at my words.
It was true that Tang Jia Feng Yun was a book that was becoming famous in Hubei Province, and its fame had spread further thanks to the fake Ho-pil incident.
There were even people who came to the branch, which had not yet opened, to ask about the party fortune.
“There may be fewer people visiting Daseogak than expected due to the Tang family fortune. If you are a bibliophile, you may have found Tang family fortune in various ways and read it. “
Danggapoongun is not sold in Wuhan, but there may be many readers who receive books purchased in Uichang or who buy books illegally printed in other cities.
“That might be possible. “Unlike Uichang, there are many large bookstores such as Mangeum Bookstore, so we have to think about our competitors as well.”
“So, let’s all think together about ways to promote Wuhan Daseogak. “Do you have any other thoughts, Jegal Soje?”
“….”
When I turned my head, I saw Zhuge Hyang with a blank expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
“Jegal Xiaoze?”
“Yes ho…. no! That’s not it! “I am Prince Kang.”
Was I thinking about something else? Or maybe I was sleepy after eating breakfast.
When I explained the promotion again, Zhuge Hyang shook his head.
“Then I guess I should tell you my plan first.”
After all, there’s no way an idea will come out right away just because you say it in the morning.
I looked back at the two women in turn and said,
“Do you have something else in mind?”
I nodded towards Lim Ha-yeon.
Readers who have already read Tangga Pungun. Readers who have heard of Tangga Pungun but have never read it.
There was a plan prepared for readers who would now read and become loyal readers.
“To commemorate the opening of the branch, I would like to offer a hand-bound book by author Hopil as a prize.”
My strategy is signed copies.
It was a frequently used promotional strategy even in modern times.
“yes? “Whose transcript is this?”
“Is this the edited version of author Ho Pil?”
The two women were startled, got up from their chairs and looked at me.
“If you purchase a book, we will give you a raffle ticket and draw prizes at the end of the month.”
“Author Hopil’s collected edition….”
“If this method is used, even readers who have previously read Dangga Pungun will be more likely to purchase Dangga Pungun sold at branch stores.”
“If that’s the case, even Daseohoe will come and buy it.”
“Can I buy it too?”
It’s too early to be surprised. I laughed and opened my mouth.
“It doesn’t end here.”
I still have another plan.
“I feel uneasy when you smile like that.”
It’s too much. I can’t believe I’m anxious. Please look forward to it.
“I plan to give away volume 1 in the first month, volume 2 in the second month, and volume 3 in the third month.”
“If that’s the case, won’t the person who bought all the volumes in the first month have to buy them again to get the printed copy?”
“yes. “If you want to get all three copies, even if you buy the book, you will have to buy it again next month.”
The draw is repeated 3 times with a period of time. If you want to get a handwritten copy, you have to keep purchasing Dangga Pung-un.
“Wow….”
“That’s a commercial tactic worthy of you. “Why don’t you give me an additional gift if I collect all three books?”
Lim Ha-yeon looked at me as if she was in a good mood to welcome the vicious merchant Kang Yun-ho for the first time in a long time and couldn’t stop me.
“As expected, Hayeon Sojeo. “You know how I feel.”
How did know.
“yes?”
“Once you collect all three volumes, we plan to exchange them for a hard copy when you purchase the fourth volume. How about it? “Wouldn’t this make collectors drool?”
Don’t be satisfied with just receiving one copy.
If you collect all volumes, the next volume is free. If you stop drawing, you will not be able to obtain the 4th volume. So, keep trying the lottery until you know all the volumes.
It was a vicious drawing method called Complete Gacha.
“….”
“ha. I’m also colored…”
While Jegalhyang was unable to keep his mouth shut, Im Ha-yeon sighed softly with a bitter expression.
———————-
“It’s a good idea, but there’s a problem.”
Ha-yeon Lim reheated the tea and spoke to me.
“What problem?”
“Wouldn’t it take too long to ask author Hopil for permission to print the printed version, then hand over the books for printed version to Daseogak, and then have author Hopil create the printed version one by one, then receive it from Daseogak and send it as a gift?”
From Uichang to Wuhan is the distance from Seoul to Busan by water transport.
Although it is a sea route, considering the entire process and round trip, it is impossible to estimate when the receipt will be received, let alone when it will open.
That was a correct point.
“I have a way, trust me.”
Actually, I knew that would happen and made it in advance.
You can just say that Hopil sent it to you at the right time.
“If that were you, that would be the case.”
“….”
Why does Zhuge Xiaoze keep staring at my face?
I turned my head to the side as his gaze was focused on me.
“Jegal Soje. “Do you have something to say?”
When I turned my head, Zhugehyang avoided my gaze as if embarrassed and opened his mouth.
“Ho, is author Ho Pil coming in person?”
no. Here you are.
“ah! I see. Writer Ho Pil can come in person.”
“It’s not like that, but there is another way, so don’t worry too much. “Do you have any good ideas other than mine?”
“….”
Even if Zhuge Hyang has opinions, he is not the type of person who can assert them actively. Should I ask about it later in my diary or something?
“How about handing out promotional leaflets?”
When I shifted my gaze to Ha-yeon Lim, she said an idea.
“You mean like when you open a guesthouse franchise?”
“Instead, this time, branch employees are wearing cheongsam and handing them out.”
“….”
Cheonjanga.
“Why why? “Wouldn’t it be okay if I ask you to come with an escort?”
There’s no need to be ashamed. It’s an idea I’d like to give a thumbs up to.
“I guess I can just come down here.”
They even apply the method I taught them about handing out flyers to predicting the complete gacha.
I even gave a small round of applause to Ha-yeon Lim.
“What are you saying?”
Ha-yeon Lim waved her hand with an ambiguous smile, whether happy or bitter.
“I…”
“Yes. “Jegal Soje.”
Could it be that Zhuge Hyang also came up with an idea worthy of applause? In that case, I should especially give extra points to Jegalhyang and give him a round of applause.
I looked at her expectantly.
“What is a cheongsam?”
“Jegal Xiaoze, you haven’t seen the employees’ cheongsam yet.”
Since we had to make clothes out of expensive silk for the new employees, we were not able to distribute cheongsam to them yet.
“Shall I show you?”
Ha-yeon Lim tried to get up from her seat as if she was being generous.
“When the employees’ cheongsam is completed, please show it to us then.”
no.
What time is it now and I’m trying to wear it?
“huh? Is there really a need for that?”
“You have a lot to do today.”
“It doesn’t take that long…”
“It looks like it’ll be busy even if we go to work now, so let’s get moving. “I’ll help you clean up.”
Ha-yeon Lim looked at me with an expression that seemed unclear, but it wasn’t a mistake, so we quickly cleared things up together.
thank god.
It passed naturally.
In fact, I couldn’t help but say that I wanted to see the two of them wearing it together, as I had asked Zhuge Xiang’s cheongsam to be tailored to him.
******
“Ugh. “It’s too much of a comparison.”
As a true wife, you have to be good at managing your affairs.
If it’s appearance, if it’s appearance, if it’s work, if it’s work, if it’s cooking, if it’s cooking, it’s tea. The more I look, the less I see a place to intervene.
“I also want to be helpful to Prince Kang like Hayeon.”
What I’m good at is drawing and delusion. My hobby is reading, so I can be more helpful than Hayeon.
An unemployed man and building owner is left alone after two office workers go to work. Zhuge family’s youngest daughter, Zhuge Xiang, muttered in pain in her room.
“Miss Zhugehyang. “As expected, you haven’t even cleaned your room!”
“Tsk!”
A dispute that suddenly broke out. Zhuge Hyang was startled by the sudden visit and stood up.
“Here are the personal information of Confucius Kang and the information of author Hopil you mentioned here. “I told it to the Commander-in-Chief, and he organized it well and gave it to me.”
“Thank you.”
“I’ll clean the outside first, so put the necessary items aside.”
Si-bi glanced at Zhuge-hyang’s room, which had become a mess for the first time in a few days, sighed inwardly, rolled up his sleeves, and went out.
“Now that I think about it, now is not the time.”
Zhuge-hyang rushed to the desk with the information given by Si-bi.
A question I realized yesterday.
Why is Confucius Kang’s handwriting and that of author Ho Pil the same?
Why is the writing style of Confucius Kang’s diary and author Ho Pil’s Tang Ga Pung Un similar?
A sense of discomfort that I felt even during breakfast. She began to review the given information, new information, and the facts she had seen one by one, laying them out in her head and on her desk.
“As expected, we need more evidence.”
If your reasoning is a base, you lack one line or stone to complete the base.
How can I find the evidence? Zhuge Hyang thought of a room full of evidence beyond the hallway.
No. It’s not polite. But the truth is in there. Is there anything more important than that fact?
After much thought, Zhuge Hyang nodded.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been dispatched.”
A master of hiding in every corner of the house, a master of escape, and a master of formation. Zhuge Hyang took out a box from the corner.
“You will never be caught.”
I’m going to sneak into Prince Kang’s room.
**************
I returned from work quickly, opened the door to my room, and saw a familiar box.
what?
The box is about to slip out of the open door in an instant. The dildo is broken too. I closed the door faster than anyone else.
“Hi!”
A small, inaudible scream rang out from inside the box.
‘Why are you in your room?’
When I take my eyes off the box, the area around the box appears hazy.
Is this the same cognitive-impairing method that was shown last time?
As I panicked and moved to the side of the door, the box began to move carefully, probably because it realized that there was nothing blocking the escape route.
Of course, it was clearly visible.
“Jegal Soje.”
“….”
The box vibrated for a moment as if surprised.
“Sozer. “It’s not like you can’t see it because you’re using a box.”
“uh? “How?”
iced coffee. That means focusing attention. I can’t even see the box.
“If you have anything to say, take off the box and say it.”
“Hey! “Kang Gongjaniyim.”
Inside the box lifted in one go. Zhuge Hyang looked up at me with a devastated expression, like a beaver whose house was demolished overnight.
“What’s going on in my room?”
“Hey, that thing over there… this.”
Zhuge Hyang carefully handed me a familiar book.
The book given was a handwritten copy of Dangga Pungun.
Since I am a fan of Danga Pung-un, I came here to look for a hand-copy copy just in case.
“Prince Kang. “Can I ask you something?”
“yes. “Please tell me.”
I’m embarrassed. Are you trying to ask why the copy is here?
Actually, I should just say I received it in advance and give it to them and move on. Or would he get angry and stop his mouth because he didn’t dare come into a man’s room?
At the moment, many worries pass by.
With an extremely serious expression, Zhuge Hyang asked a question that made us forget everything.
“Confucius Kang is a famous writer, right?”
A word from the author (author review)
