◆ [수상한 가족] Gobusai, a hand tofu brush restaurant that is as cold as the wind blows
In a small village in Chuncheon, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, there are two mothers-in-law, Choi Yang-suk (70) and Jeong Hyeon-ah (46), who argue every day. My parents-in-law have been farming all their lives and have even run a hand-made brush house for over 20 years, but when my father-in-law suddenly collapsed from a cerebral infarction five years ago, my mother-in-law was left to take on all the work alone. In this way, Ms. Yang Sook expressed her hardships to her eldest son Seong-min Cho (46) and his wife and suggested that they return home to Chuncheon in exchange for handing over the sundu brush house. The son declined the offer because he was working well as a manager at a large company, but instead, his daughter-in-law Hyuna persuaded her husband to return home. Since he told me to only work at the restaurant for 2-3 hours a day, I thought it would be better to live in the countryside. But when I came here, I found that my life was completely opposite to what I had imagined. I came here because they said there would be a lot of work, but even though I work, it doesn’t stop working. It turns out that my mother-in-law, who used to be a worker ant, now has more hands to help, so she is doing more and more tasks every day. The mother-in-law’s calls keep coming, but the daughter-in-law is unable to respond to them all because she has to raise children and take care of the house, and the mother-in-law only grows frustrated with her daughter-in-law who only cares about housework. Between these people, a wind blowing harsher than the winter wind. Will the two be able to get through this winter safely? Let’s go inside the breathtaking high-ranking battle scene.
◆ [오늘은 국수 먹는 날] Comfortable on the stomach ~ Dotorimyeon Yukgaejang Kalguksu
A restaurant in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do that serves noodles that are said to be healthy and delicious! The popular menu at this house is Yukgaejang Kalguksu! There is no other delicacy better than this to warm your body during the winter. The first thing that catches your eye is the uniquely colored kalguksu noodles! Its true identity is acorn powder. The owner, Kim Young-kwon (63), said he made his own dough with acorn powder to make the noodles easily digestible. In addition, the broth made from Korean beef bones is topped with homemade seasoning and various toppings, creating Dotorimyeon Yukgaejang Kalguksu, which can be easily enjoyed by people of all ages. Wherever you eat noodles, there is one thing you always see: acorn sweet and sour pork. It looks like just sweet and sour pork, but it has a unique taste thanks to dried acorn jelly, chicken, and fried shiitake mushrooms. From the sweet and sour pork dough made with acorn powder to the homemade sauce, the owner’s sincerity for a healthy taste, just like the noodles, is fully reflected. Another popular menu item at Today’s Noodle House that customers love is red bean kalguksu! The unique feature of this restaurant is that the old-fashioned red bean kalguksu is made by boiling raw red beans and not seasoning it separately. A noodle restaurant that offers healthy taste! Let’s go together to a noodle restaurant that will warm your body and mind no matter when you visit.
◆ [위대한 일터] 4,000 sheets per day! Complete works selling like hot cakes
In Michuhol-gu, Incheon, there is a collection of works that are selling like hot cakes. Over 4,000 pieces sold per day! Thanks to the ingredients and clean taste, word of mouth spreads and orders for delivery are flooding in. Since very little flour is added, it remains crispy even when eaten when cooled. There is a special display at work that catches the attention of passers-by, and they exclaim in exclamation as soon as they see it! The main character is ‘Heart Kimchi Pancake!’ 2 pieces of hearts over 30cm are only 3,000 won! The price is so reasonable that I can’t resist buying it. The owner developed heart kimchi pancakes to create a unique menu, and even made a mold to create a heart shape. The owner, Choi Ok-gyeong (62), started business at the market as a fishmonger about 30 years ago. She had no choice but to carry her 6-month-old son on her back and go to work, but there was no one to take care of the child. She had to do business, and the child would cry… Her life was literally a war. The owner’s heart was broken when she heard her son say that after entering elementary school, his mother was teased by his friends for selling fish. So, after much thought, the owner quit selling fish and started a collection of books with his son. Let’s go together to the owner’s workplace, where he was able to experience the taste of life thanks to his workplace.
◆ [촌집 전성시대] A village house maintained alone
A village in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. There is a owner who maintains a village house alone here. Choi Jeong-hee (76), who previously lived in Seoul with her husband. At that time, my husband, who was diagnosed with terminal malignant lymphoma overnight like a lightning bolt from the dry sky, passed away within a month or two without any time to do anything. As a result, Jeong-hee gave up living in Seoul and settled alone in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do. They live in a cozy brick house and decorate it using antique furniture that has been stained by hand, such as hangers made from Hanok door panels, a dining table made from a pot, and a flower pot stand made from a sawwater container. And in order to stand on her own, Jeong-hee said she made a career out of natural dyeing and sewing, which she learned from her grandmother when she was young. Five years ago, my son took over the family business, so the two spend time together whenever they have time. Let’s go to a village house that we found in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province.
