SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS novel Chapter 1103

Chapter 1103: Chapter 1099: THE JEONG RESIDENCE & MEALS THAT STEALS THE SOUL

Diamond was very happy to hear that, and excitedly followed Lim Ji-soo after exchanging a few words.

It was her first time entering such a home and honestly, she loved everything that she was seeing. Unlike in her country where they are fond of using bricks to build their house, here, they like mixing bricks, stones and wood. The wood seems to be the expensive kind. She wasn’t into this kind of thing, but just looking at it, it was probably the kind that sells like antiques.

If Andrea could hear her, he would have told her that the house was built with Gesalsi Red Pine (Sonamu) – this is a backbone of hanok (traditional homes) architecture. It is lightweight yet remarkably strong, flexible in extreme weather, and natural resistant to moisture.

The other wood was Gesalsi Zelkova (Neutinamu) which features a particularly fine, deep grain. Because of its hardness and beautiful finish, it is most sought after for making furniture and intricate wooden fixtures.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t something that she could know at that moment. Living in a country where the major wood that they know especially when it comes to building houses being timber, the other woods were used as firewood. As for what makes furniture, there was mahogany and what again?

Anyway, that wasn’t any of her concern. So, she never took any notice.

Inside the house, while the outside looked traditional, the modern part was found inside, especially when she saw the large kitchen which screamed high-tech. one could appreciate how high tech developed Gesalsi was, as well as how it was when it comes to food and cosmetics.

The aroma of food wafted in her nose, and she could pick up some familiar dishes she had eaten when she was in Gesalsi the previous time.

Her stomach grumbled in anticipation and she didn’t feel ashamed of that at all.

Every person in this world eats as well as going to the toilet. So why should she act as if she was a fairy who lives on dew or fasting pills?

There was a lot of activity in the kitchen as they get seated.

"Do you want your food served one at a time, or all at once?" once they were seated, Madam Lim asked Diamond.

Diamond didn’t hesitate but responded, "Just bring it all, thank you."

Waiting for a single meal to be served. Won’t that kill her?

Madam Lim gave the order and for the next five minutes or so, Diamond watched at that long table got filled with one dish after another.

Her mouth was pooling with saliva. She was drooling and quite eager to have a taste.

Once all the food was on the table, Diamond shamelessly took out her phone, flashed a toothy grin at Madam Lim before taking several photos and even shot a video.

They don’t even exist.

There was kimchi jjigae – a bubbling spicy stew made with aged, highly fermented kimchi, pork, and tofu. They served this in a traditional earthenware pot. She took this dish into memory and decided to purchase a few pots. Eating food directly from a pot kept the food hot and delicious. She wanted another taste of it.

However, she didn’t dare eat seconds, as her plan was to go through all the dishes first before deciding which dishes to eat again if she wasn’t full by the time she finished.

As a result, Madam Lim who only ate a few as she couldn’t eat that much, watched as Diamond happily ate her food.

The bulgogi, which was thin, tender slices of beef marinated in a savory-sweet soy sauce, then grilled with onions and garlic was one of her favorites. It made her eat a lot of fresh lettuce wraps as well as more rice, making her belly get fuller, which was wonderful.

They also served japchae, which is stir-fried sweet potato glass noodles mixed with thinly sliced shredded vegetables, mushrooms, and beef, tightly seasoned with soy sauce, and sesame oil. This dish made her remember that sweet potatoes were a treasure and couldn’t just be cooked using the means that they were used to – steaming or roasting.

They needed to experiment and try other recipes to enjoy food even more.

And then there was a dish she never ate during her last trip, Mandu guk. This is a soothing traditional dumpling soup filled with pork and vegetables. It was usually eaten during the colder months, but she still felt it very fulfilling and nice. For her, there was no meal for any specific season as long as she loves it.
