Chapter 62: The Taste of Recognition
Seo Sowoo was eating slowly tonight.
His eyes kept wandering to the other people’s chopsticks, watching where they moved.
When he saw someone reaching for the sauerkraut duck, he beamed with delight.
Unfortunately, the sauerkraut duck wasn’t as popular as the braised duck.
Even Im Beomhyeon—who had been fixated on the newly pickled sauerkraut all day—joined the others in devouring the braised duck first.
Only when that was nearly gone did he pick up a couple bites of the sauerkraut duck—and even then, he mostly ate the pickled cabbage.
While handling the hunted prey today, many cuts not suitable for long-term preserved meat had been set aside and used for tonight’s meal.
As a result, the table was overflowing with various meat dishes and the braised duck had outshined all of them, completely overshadowing the sauerkraut duck.
Bok Taejin noticed something was off about Seo Sowoo’s expression.
He gave up on the other dishes and focused entirely on the sauerkraut duck.
The sauerkraut had been fermented exceptionally well—crisp, tangy, and rich from absorbing duck fat.
