Although Kim Haru was in charge of cooking, Go Okrim and Kang Hose were more than happy to assist.
The pork from the feast after the pig slaughter finally found its use, alongside various fresh vegetables.
The sausages they had stuffed earlier were now perfectly smoked and infused with the distinct aroma of cured meat. Kim Haru cut a few sections, cleaned their surfaces with hot water, boiled them, and sliced them into thin pieces for plating. The smell was heavenly.
To honor the tradition of "abundance year after year," Kim Haru had, a few days earlier, fished from the small pond. He specifically set aside the larger fish, ensuring there would be leftovers to carry into the "new year."
Unlike the luminous fish, these catches looked like ordinary fish, though Kim Haru couldn't identify the species. After confirming through the system that they were safe to eat, he decided to use them for the occasion.
