Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 53
When Hee-won lifted the egg shell, Baduki, who had been sitting quietly in the flower pot, lifted up the head, or rather, the flower bud. And then he jumped in place.
The shriveled flower bud opened and closed for a mont.
Tup.
When Heewon ca to her senses, the eggshell she was holding in her hand had disappeared.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
A person and a snail looked down at the flower pot dumbly at the sound that sounded like they were chewing on a cookie.
It was an extraordinary sight to see a plant using its flower buds as mouths to chew on eggshells.
“…Did he just eat the eggshell?”
“huh. “Are you eating well?”
「At lightning speed.」
Baduki quickly chewed the shell inside the flower bud. And then I looked up at Heewon again.
The leaves were fluttering like a tail. This ant everyone was asking for more.
Heewon placed an eggshell on her palm and held it out in front of the baduk player.
Then Baduki started eating the shell in a hurry.
“I guess I’m still very hungry.”
Baduki quickly ate the shells of four eggs. However, as if I was filled with spirituality, I held on to the railing of the flower pot and sniffed the buds here and there.
Heewon looked down at that figure sadly.
“Heena, can I have so more eggs? “It seems like it’s not enough.”
“Well… there’s nothing that can’t be done.”
Heena opened the refrigerator door with a puzzled expression and took out an egg. Then he took out three eggs and beat them.
I was planning on making fluffy stead eggs with this. The addition of green onions and orange carrots made it colorful, so it was sure to be a delight for both the eyes and mouth.
anwhile, Baduki destroyed the shells of three eggs in an instant. Still, Heena acted as if it wasn’t enough, so she had no choice but to take out more eggs.
‘This ti it’s egg soup.’
I thought it would be good to make a soft egg soup using cool broth.
Even though I broke three more eggs and gave them to Baduki, he was still hungry.
I already ate ten eggshells. It was a question of where so many eggshells could fit in such a thin stem.
“Doesn’t the quest progress show how much more I need to feed?”
Hee-won shook his head as he cracked five more eggs and handed them over with a sigh.
“That doesn’t work. “They just tell to keep giving it to Baduki until he feels full?”
“How long do I have to peel eggs? “There won’t be enough dishes.”
“For now, let’s just keep giving it.”
Baduki was satisfied only after eating exactly 28 eggshells. Heena patted her stomach(?) and clicked her tongue as she looked at Baduki lying crookedly in a flower pot.
“If I hadn’t bought a carton of eggs, I would have been in big trouble.”
I had already given up on thinking about what to do with the 28 eggs. There weren’t that many variations of Heena’s egg dishes.
Egg rolls, stead eggs, egg soup, egg fried rice, fried eggs, egg salad, etc…
Anyway, it was clear that I had to eat only eggs for a while until my mouth slled like chicken.
It would be normal for a plant to stand on the soil, but Baduki was a plant and lay down in a flower pot like a human.
Then, as if he was full, he patted the stem with a leaf and instantly fell asleep.
As to how they knew whether Baduki, which had no eyes, nose, or mouth, was sleeping, it was because the roots and blades of grass that were constantly moving quietly cald down for a mont.
It even made a sound similar to snoring by repeatedly opening and closing the flower bud. It was truly a strange plant.
‘No, if it moves this much, shouldn’t it be called an animal?’
Heena thought about the definitions of plants and animals. It was confusing.
“Isn’t it cute? “He was just born, so he ate excitedly and fell asleep right away.”
However, Heewon smiled, holding the flower pot tightly with both hands as if there were no questions.
“Oppa, don’t you think walking plants are strange? “Why are you so calm?”
Hee-won lowered her voice to a whisper and shrugged her shoulders.
“If you go to a plant-type dungeon, there are a lot of plant-type monsters that move like this. “It’s nothing strange.”
“what? A monster? “That?”
Hee-won, seeing Hee-na looking appalled, raised his hand and waved it as if to calm her down.
“Baduki is okay.”
“How do you know that?”
“I can see plant information with my skill. And in the description window, it says that Baduki is ‘gentle and cannot harm humans except in ergencies.’ Besides, raising him is my quest, so why should sothing dangerous happen to ?”
It was a comfortable sound. But hearing my brother’s words sohow made feel at ease.
Even though he was only a D-class farr and had almost never participated in actual battles, Heewon was soone who survived in the hunter world for almost 10 years. He had a bit of courage and was well-versed in dungeon work.
Plus, Heewon had good sensitivity. Seeing that Hee-won imdiately fell in love with baduki, it seed like he wasn’t soone who could at least cause harm.
‘but. The five colors are equally unique. They are much larger than ordinary snails and are intelligent, so they can communicate.’
Thinking back, when Heena first t Osaek, she didn’t think he was strange. Rather, I felt a feeling closer to liking.
The only problem was that I mistook it for a bug and threw my hand away.
In a way, Heewon might have instinctively developed an affinity for people who could be of help to her.
Heena, who ca to that simple conclusion, quickly shook off her thoughts and rolled up her sleeves.
“I finished feeding the baby and put him to sleep, so let’s eat too. “It’s late.”
First of all, tonight’s dinner was decided to be egg rolls, stead egg soup, grilled round ham dipped in egg water, egg soup, egg fried rice, and fried eggs.
“For your information, tonight’s nu was decided thanks to you, so I won’t be complaining about the side dishes.”
When I said it clearly, Heewon laughed heartily.
“When did I ever complain about food?”
That was it. When I cook food, I just think of the hardships of the person who cooked it and say thank you. Eating lead porridge was the first rule in Heena’s house.
But Heena pretended not to hear and beat the egg water with a whisk.
There was no particular reason. That’s what siblings are supposed to be like.
* * *
The next day, Heena was wondering what to do with the leftover eggs and decided to bake.
Among them, I decided to make madeleines using whole egg yolks and egg whites. I chose it because it was described as an easy baked snack that even beginners can make.
There were a few more days left on vacation, so I had plenty of ti.
Of course, the oven needed for baking was already prepared. It was an oven received as a ‘Ho Sweet Ho’ level-up reward.
The na was ‘Oven that does not burn food’ and the grade was B.
It’s clear that if it’s grade B, the performance should be pretty good, but I just received it and put it in a corner of the kitchen and never used it.
This was partly because Heena only cooked simple side dishes, and more than anything, it was because she had never even tried baking in her life.
Heena thought calmly as she laid out the baking ingredients she had bought.
‘You can make it well, right?’
There was a great deal of faith in ‘the nimble fingertips’ and ‘this taste is the taste of the hands’. Even if I ruined it, it seed like they would fix it sohow. Moreover, Heena has never failed to cook food.
Just before starting baking, Heena carefully read the recipe again. It wasn’t that difficult as all you had to do was add the right ingredients.
‘When I finish making it, I have to share it with people around .’
Heena smiled as she thought about sharing the madeleines. It felt good just to imagine the sight of people eating sothing they had made deliciously.
Since the madeleine mold was smaller than expected, I only used 10 eggs. The only thing left was to make extra-large egg rolls.
After gently beating the eggs, sift the powdered ingredients. Then, I gently added the lted butter and mixed it to complete the dough.
The order seed simple, but it wasn’t easy at all because there was a lot of volu overall.
Heena groaned and made her first baking dough. Perhaps because it was my first ti and I was nervous, it was more difficult than when I made 60 rolls of kimbap.
“Is the bread factory in operation?”
Osaek teased Heena, who was whining, asking if she was thinking of opening a bread factory. I wanted to retort, but there was so much of it that I had nothing to say.
“Still, I’ll be very proud if I make it all.”
Heena glanced briefly at Osaek and pressed the dough into the madeleine mold she had bought in large quantities. Perhaps because I was repeating simple tasks, I was able to concentrate well.
The system also supported Heena.
Heena baked madeleines without realizing how ti was passing. Because the amount of raw dough was large, the oven had to be used several tis.
But it wasn’t boring. Above all, I couldn’t be happier watching the dough puff up under the reddish lights.
How much ti has passed? Heena finally spread out the madeleines on the table and clapped her hands.
“I’m done!”
Heena baked more than 70 madeleines in total. Thanks to this, the house was filled with the fragrant sll of bread.
The warm madeleines were savory and light. My first baking attempt was very successful. Heena trembled as she savored the soft flavor filling her mouth.
‘It’s just as delicious as what you get at the bakery!’
Add in the strange savory taste that lingers in your mouth, and it was perfect. It was enough to capture the appetite of Heena, who loves rice more than bread.
Heena packed madeleines in packs of ten. I was thinking of giving it as a gift to people around .
Excluding things to eat at ho, gifts to Woo Min-ah and Kang Jin-hyeon, and things to share with mbers of the environntal sanitation team, there were about 15 left.
‘Who am I giving this to?’
Heena thought deeply and tapped her knee.
“I’ll just give it to the next door neighbor and the security guard!”
