◆ [수상한 가족] Is the strawberry farm a playground for in-laws?
In Gyeongju City, Gyeongsangbuk-do, there are a couple of novice farmers, Heo Pil-jae (40) and Ha Yun-mi (41), who started strawberry farming last year. Mr. Piljae originally worked as a kindergarten physical education teacher, but began farming when his position as a teacher was eliminated due to COVID-19. The parents of both families care about this couple and are working hard to support them both financially and spiritually. Mr. Piljae’s parents come to their son’s farm every day to help out, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law provide him with a lump sum of money, and whenever they have time, they promote it to people around him and sell strawberries. Even when they come to meet the couple, the parents come with their hands full, even bringing food for their children. However, although the parents come to visit separately, there are many days when they come together, and the reason is that the strawberry farm has become a playground for the in-laws. We met for the first time 11 years ago at a reunion, but our ages were similar, and we communicated so well that that day, we even separated our children and went to a karaoke room as parents. From that day on, we made appointments and spent time together whenever we had time, and these days, Piljae’s strawberry farm has become a gathering place. It is said that Pil-jae and his wife are dumbfounded when they come to help out and see the four of them chatting and playing… What would a strawberry farm filled with Pil-jae and his wife, their three children, and their four parents look like? Let’s visit a noisy strawberry farm.
◆ [오늘은 국수 먹는 날] Soft tofu, kalguksu, and even fried rice for just 10,000 won?
A restaurant in Songpa-gu, Seoul where you can find unique noodles! It is said to be one of the best restaurants recognized by customers who flock during meal times. There is one popular menu item in this restaurant that everyone looks for! It is soft tofu kalguksu. But the only thing that appeared on the guest table was soft tofu stew with no noodle soup in sight?! Here, you have to enjoy the soft tofu first and then add the kalguksu to enjoy the proper taste. The fact that it has a filling menu including fried rice to decorate the finale! The most surprising thing is that you can enjoy all of these menu items for just 10,000 won. There is no easy way to make soft tofu kalguksu, which boasts excellent cost-effectiveness. First of all, the soft tofu is carefully made using domestically produced beans. If you put well-soaked beans in a machine to make bean water, you need to stir the whole pot of boiled bean water and add bittern. In order to preserve the texture of soft tofu eaten with kalguksu, the soft tofu must be lumped together well to enhance the savory taste. Here, not only the noodles that are kneaded and pulled by hand, but also the broth that brings out the spicy taste are added to create the perfect soft tofu kalguksu. A noodle restaurant that offers a variety of ingredients and tastes that are hard to find anywhere, plus cost-effectiveness! Let’s go together to a noodle restaurant that puts a lot of sincerity and sincerity into its food.
◆ [위대한 일터] Sugure Gukbap Restaurant, run by three generations
In a market in Dalseong-gun, Daegu, there is a soup restaurant that has been consistently loved for over 60 years. The reason this restaurant is famous is because it is not just an ordinary soup restaurant! You can eat soup containing soft yet chewy meat using the part under the cowhide called ‘sugure’. About 60 years ago, it was one of the parts that were always discarded in Daegu, where there were many cattle slaughterhouses, but when food was scarce, they could not see even a single piece of precious meat being thrown away, so they started making soup with this part. It is said that customers have also grown older over the past 60 years, but with their unchanging recipes and generous hospitality, when you ask for more, they give you more as if it were new, so you have no choice but to keep coming back. The first owner, Byeon Gye-su (85), had no choice but to become the head of the household in place of her husband, who lacked financial capabilities, and had to do whatever she could to raise her five children. On days when the children’s school had a sports day, they would load a cart with a large pot and a wheelbarrow and sell soup in front of the playground. Even though I knew that the children were embarrassed to see their mother like this, I had to persevere and sell soup. The eldest daughter, Gap-yeon, started working in her mother’s store about 30 years ago and became the second owner, and the granddaughter, Ji-yeong, has been working for the past two years. Let’s go together to a workplace where three generations come together, which has changed from a workplace to protect the family to a workplace where families gather together.
◆ [촌집 전성시대] Hanok for a tea-loving couple
A village in Gurye, Jeollanam-do. There is a village house here where a couple who has been married for 40 years lives. In the past, Seo Seong-seong (69) and Joo Young-ae (67) lived with their father-in-law in Seoul upon their marriage. After her father-in-law passed away, she wanted to take care of her mother, so she built a hanok in Gurye, Jeollanam-do, which has good mountains and good water. He lived with his mother, building up memories, and after she passed away five years ago, the couple renovated it into a cafe where they could enjoy their favorite tea and coffee. Thanks to this, the village house is filled with tea cups and tea that the couple has collected for 40 years, and it always smells of tea and coffee. Let’s go to the country house of a couple who met in Gurye, Jeollanam-do and have been married for 40 years.
