Chapter 82: First Shooting Ends [Wishing Everyone a Happy National Day!]

After breakfast, the family members changed into different clothes, put on hats, and headed to the backyard.

"Did you all see the task note left before we left? It repeatedly reminded us not to forget to feed the piglets and sheep," Liu Zaishi started the conversation.

"Let's split up to feed them. Those feeding the sheep stay here, and those feeding the piglets can head to the pigpen," Hyeori said as she led the way.

"Why are you all going that way? All the young ones are gone, what about us?" Liu Zaishi called out when he saw only Yoon Jong-shin and Kim Soo-ro left.

"Let's just do it this way, work hard!" Hyeori replied and led the group away.

"Alright~!" The three older members responded helplessly.

"Fighting~!"

"This image really suits you~." Yijin joked as she turned back.

"Come on, the piglets are about to starve~!" Hyeori urged as she walked.

The pigpen wasn't far, just a couple of steps away.

"They're all there~! They're sleeping~! Wow~! What should we do, they're so cute~!!!"

"Look at their tails~! So adorable~!" Yijin called out happily with a nasal tone.

Cute things always appeal to women.

Even the men found the piglets very endearing and quickly opened the pen to bring in the food.

Seeing strangers enter, the piglets panicked.

Hyeori and Yijin approached slowly with bottles, speaking gently, "Don't be afraid, drink up, it's very tasty, drink up..."

However, the piglets were too scared, and none of them came forward to suckle.

"This won't work, we need to hold them one by one to feed them," Lee Shin-haeng suggested.

"How do we catch them, they run so fast." The piglets took advantage of their distraction and ran to the side.

"All the pigs follow the biggest one, so we should catch it first," Lee Tae-hee said.

Lee Shin-haeng glanced at him in surprise, impressed by Lee Tae-hee's observational skills. He had noticed it too but hadn't mentioned it.

The four men slowly surrounded the piglets and quickly caught them when they weren't paying attention.

For a moment, the piglets' cries filled the entire backyard.

Lee Shin-haeng watched Hyeori, who was not very skilled, hold a piglet and feed it with a bottle. He smiled and said, "Kitty, you need to learn well, or how will our children be in the future~!"

"What do you mean?" Hyeori rolled her eyes, "I'm only responsible for giving birth, the rest is up to you, Oppa~!"

"Are you trying to make me a stay-at-home dad?" Lee Shin-haeng asked in surprise.

Hyeori released the piglet after it was full, stood up, and patted his shoulder, "Oppa, this is a small matter, how could it be difficult for you? I have high hopes for you~! Fighting~!"

"What are you talking about! Seriously, am I only meant to be a stay-at-home dad?" Lee Shin-haeng said with a look of indignation.

At that moment, Daesung suddenly shouted, "They're out! They're out!"

It turned out that the staff hadn't closed the door properly, allowing the piglets to escape.

Lee Shin-haeng, Lee Tae-hee, and Kim Dong-wan quickly chased after them.

Despite their cute appearance, the piglets ran very fast and skillfully changed direction to avoid capture, making the men in the family look quite flustered.

After a chaotic chase, they finally managed to catch all the piglets and return them to the pen.

After feeding the piglets, the family members went to the fields to complete the farm work as instructed by the grandmother.

"Xiaoxie, turn left at the next intersection and then right at the following one. There's a famous tofu shop there. We'll have lunch there and then head back."

On the way back after the shooting, in the minivan, Lee Shin-haeng told the driver, Lee Gyun-suk.

"Got it, bro."

"Following Oppa Shin-haeng, we can always find delicious food," Hye-young said happily.

When in Gangwon-do, one must try the famous soft tofu. The "Sotang Soft Tofu" in Gangneung, made using seawater instead of gypsum, is a well-known local dish. The soft tofu has a slightly salty, melt-in-your-mouth texture and retains the natural sweetness of soybeans. The spicy soup made in a pot is delicious and very tasty.

"Sotang Soft Tofu" originated in the late Joseon Dynasty, when the yangban (noble class) in the Sotang area near Mir浦 Lake used seawater from Gangneung Bay to make tofu. The taste and method of making it have been passed down for about 400 years. Starting from the 1970s, restaurants in the Sotang area gradually gathered, and it became known as the "Sotang Soft Tofu Village."

At the "Pine Tree Sotang Soft Tofu" restaurant in Sotang Soft Tofu Village, the tofu is made by hand every morning at 5 o'clock. All the soybeans used are locally grown in Korea, mixed together without any chemical additives, to retain the original, pure taste of soybeans.

Every lunch and dinner time, the restaurant is always full. During school holidays and other peak tourist seasons, visitors from all over Korea and abroad come here, and the queue outside the restaurant is always long, regardless of the time.

The soft tofu pot, mixed with shiitake mushrooms and concentrated beef broth, is filled with plenty of scallions, enoki mushrooms, and vegetables. Eating the spicy soup with the soft tofu, the rich and smooth taste of the tofu spreads in your mouth. The side dish of soybean residue soup, with added corn kernels, has a slightly sweet taste and a smooth, tender texture.

The soft tofu set meal, consisting of warm, white, soft tofu and side dishes, is a delicacy. The soft tofu that melts in your mouth and the rich soy milk are exquisite. Additionally, adding the specially made chili sauce according to personal preference is also very delicious!

The square tofu, another popular menu item, is a different flavor of soft tofu. The soft tofu is pressed to give it a heavier texture. The texture of the square tofu is similar to meat, very chewy and Q-elastic, and the more you chew, the more you can taste the original, healthy flavor of soybeans.

By the time they arrived at the tofu restaurant, it was past mealtime, but there were still many customers.

Following an ajumma to an empty seat, the four of them looked at the menu.

In the end, they ordered a large soft tofu pot, three square tofus, and two soft tofu set meals. Soon, the table was filled with a variety of tofu dishes.

Lee Shin-haeng picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth, "Mm~! Very tender, the soybean flavor is very rich, it melts in your mouth, refreshing, truly the signature of an old restaurant~!"

After the meal, they continued driving back to Seoul.

Seeing Hyeori, who was sleeping beside him, looking very tired, Lee Shin-haeng felt really heartbroken. But this was Hyeori's choice, and he couldn't stop her from pursuing her career, so he could only be even more caring towards her.

After some thought, he took out his phone and made a call.

After a while, a woman's voice came through the receiver, "Son, did you miss your mom? How did you have time to call your mom?"
