Chapter 27: Fever [1]
Yeoju stared at Ganghyuk . She was a beauty unlike Changgweon, but she was surely his daughter, resembling him a lot .
Therefore, Ganghyuk even felt as if Changgweon was staring at him there .
”Do not look at me with those eyes . ”
”Sir, you came to my room many times . ”
”Yes, I did . ”
It was her mistake if she wanted to bind him with that . He was ready to escape from the situation if not caught red handed .
”You must have seen the paintings that I drew . ”
”Ah!”
”I don't want to boast about myself, but I am not too bad, right?”
”Not bad at all . ”
As a matter of fact, her paintings were very good . In particular, she was really good at precision painting . He even wondered why she was not famous and known to him with such a skill .
”I would like to draw a painting of you . ”
”Painting my examination?”
Ganghyuk looked around the room . As paintings were hanging on all the walls, he did not need to choose one direction .
'Painting… It is good . '
How long could he examine and operate alone? He needed to teach some fellows .
'I will do interesting and difficult ones then . '
He often let Dolseok do the operation in case of simple boil . The latter followed well and seemed to have a talent . The problem was when it came to the textbook, and a painting would help him .
”Painting…”
”Yes, sir . I drew my wound here . ”
Yeoju gave him a small piece of paper . She had apparently drawn a painting when the pains had become tolerable . She expressed her lesion very well as a small hole and the shade . The sole looked just like that of a real foot .
'She caught the characteristics very well . ' With just black and white, she had described it very well .
”En… Professor will not be here, eh?” Then, it will probably not be really dangerous . It might draw attention when she traveled from home to the clinic . But ,there were talents who could help in her trip… such as Makbong .
”Okay . But, do not come every day . Come when I call, alright?”
”Thank you!” Yeoju showed her grat.i.tude by bowing slightly .
”Okay . We cannot stay here any longer, so let's go now . ”
”Yes, sir . ”
With that, Ganghyuk and Yeoni came out of the room, where Dolseok greeted him gladly .
”Sir, we may not be able to eat chicken . We need to hurry up . ”
”We can go now . You eat chicken nearly every day . Why are you so greedy?”
Half of the chicken that Ganghyuk earned went into the stomach of Dolseok .
Additionally, he had dried beef and fish . Ganghyuk did not stop him, so he could eat nearly everything from the clinic . As he ate so well these days, even his face had become oily .
”Not every day . ”
”Nearly every day… Anyway, let's go . I will have dinner together with father tonight . ”
”Yes, yes . ”
”Makbong, drop by the clinic on the way to the inn and get some for your fellows . ”
”Do you want to give more to them? You are too generous . ” Dolseok pursed his lips . Although it was Ganghyuk who earned it all through clinic work, Dolseok was still quite stingy .
”If we keep something for too long, it will go bad, and then n.o.body will be able to eat it . Makbong, do not hesitate to get the things from the clinic . ”
”Thank you, sir . We owe you too much .
”No, if it were not for you, how I could wander like this? And, Yeoni needs to eat better . ”
”Thank you . ” Yeoni bowed in grat.i.tude . Her p.r.o.nunciation was not very clear, showing that her mouth had already watered at the prospect of the food .
It was natural, as these were the times when not just meat, but even rice was quite dear .
”Ok, we can part here then . ”
”Yes, sir . . ”
With that, Ganghyuk and Dolseok hurried their steps . Particularly, Dolseok walked very fast .
”Sir, come quickly . ”
”Ok, ok . ” However, Ganghyuk was quite relaxed . They said that Chilhyanggye was a tasty food, but to him, it was just a chicken . He only took it for the intake of protein .
'I would like to have fried chicken . ' Even without seasoning, he wanted fried chicken . When he thought of the savory juice of chicken, he even ended up drooling .
”Dolseok”
”Yes, sir?”
”Do we have oil?”
”Yes, we have a lot . The governor gave us the last time . ”
”Oh! Then, let's fry a chicken . ”
”Fry?” Dolseok did not understand at all .
Frying a chicken? Not grilling?
”Yes! I want to fry a chicken . ”
”I think n.o.body has done that before . ”
”I will do that . ”
”Sir? No… Great master will be angry . ”
”Why?”
”We have a kitchen servant . Don't go around the kitchen . ”
He felt stiffed . Even though he was a n.o.bleman, there were too many things that he could not do .
'Law and face . '
Ganghyuk came back home with a sullen face . Due to that, Dolseok was not happy either . He was the master, anyway . He was somewhat curt, but he treated the latter very well . As a result, Dolseok always felt that he must pay back to Ganghyuk somehow .
Although, it was frankly ridiculous!
”Sir, I will fry . ”
”Can you?”
”Let me know what I should do . ”
”Then, I will draw out the process roughly . Just follow it . ”
