The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 80
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 80
“I’m sorry for leaving. That’s because I felt a little disappointed in only receiving raw peanuts. “I knew that 6 hours of quality would be guaranteed if I was in the hands of this team leader.”
Heewon immediately understood the guild leader’s ambiguous meaning.
“So, you want to receive delivery of peanuts that Heena roasted herself, rather than raw peanuts? “One pill with a 6-hour effect?”
Heena’s eyes widened at her brother’s words.
‘Through my hands?’
It was an unexpected transaction condition, but if you think about it, it was natural. It was natural to want high-quality items even if they cost a little more money.
Finally, guild leader Kim Gyu-hee showed his card.
“If Team Leader Lee even does the post-processing, I would like to offer 20 million won per 100g.”
At that suggestion, Heewon glanced at his younger brother. Heena quickly answered.
“I’m okay. “No, I like it.”
Anyway, the only thing I did at the company was cook Jinhyeon Kang a meal and apply the ‘Comfortable Bed’ skill to his sleeping bag. What was left was time.
Despite Heena’s willing permission, Heewon clicked his tongue as if he was a little dissatisfied.
“Shelling and roasting peanuts… It takes a lot of effort from my brother. “It will be 25 million won, and the peanut shell will be removed and handed over to the Blue Dragon Guild.”
At the same time, he made quick eye contact with Heena. ‘Do you think it’s worth it or is it okay to do this?’ It was a question. Of course it was worth doing.
‘It’s not a bad idea to make a pastime by roasting peanuts.’
As Heewon said, peeling peanuts was a bit difficult because my hands hurt, but roasting them was fun.
“I think it would be okay if I didn’t have to go through the intermediate steps in the hands of this team leader.”
Heena scratched her cheek in response to guild leader Kim Gyu-hee’s question.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to call it cooking, but I think it has a synergy effect with peanuts thanks to my cooking skills. “Even if I were only responsible for the last step, I think the 6 hours would have the same effect.”
As the explanation was added, guild leader Kim Gyu-hee smiled.
“okay. “Let’s do that.”
Aside from what seemed a little shaky at first, the peanut negotiations were concluded very neatly.
Siblings Heena and Heewon signed a contract to exclusively supply roasted peanuts to the Blue Dragon Guild.
In return, the Blue Dragon Guild paid a price of 25 million won per 100g and promised to keep all of this a secret.
In the event that the information leaks out and the siblings’ personal life becomes at risk, we decided to take care of all the post-processing and maintenance as well. This was also Heewon’s suggestion.
Other minor conditions still need to be adjusted, but it was an agreement that both sides were satisfied with.
After settling the situation, guild leader Kim Gyu-hee sat with his legs crossed and opened his mouth.
“ruler. Now shall we move on to the next story? Heewon Lee seems to have more to say.”
Heena and Heewon exchanged looks.
Now it was time to talk about something really important. In order to keep the secret, Heena was also trying not to think about anything other than peanuts as much as possible.
Heewon slowly opened his mouth.
“There are several crops I am growing. “Not peanuts.”
“Hoo.”
Guild leader Kim Gyu-hee showed curiosity and leaned forward.
“I wonder if other crops grown have special effects like peanuts.”
“there is.”
“for example?”
“For example, there are benefits such as a temporary increase in stats when consumed.”
“…what?”
The guild leader’s expression changed in response to that answer. Then he looked straight into Heewon’s eyes and asked again.
“So… Are you saying that Lee Hee-won’s crops can act as a kind of stat-increasing potion?”
“you’re right.”
Heewon’s grade was only D, but Kangman was definitely not average. Heewon did not back down from the momentum of guild leader Kim Gyuhee.
Heena gulped her saliva in the tense atmosphere.
“If you want proof, I can show it to you.”
He took a baby spinach leaf from his inventory and placed it on the table.
The grass, which was as big as a fingernail, looked really ugly. However, guild leader Kim Gyu-hee lifted up the young leaf and examined it in a cautious manner.
Her eyes quickly scanned the air. The guild leader is probably reading the spinach description window.
<Immature spinach (C): Spinach that is still growing. The effect is still weak. When consumed, strength increases by +1 for 30 seconds. If it is cooked with a special touch, it may produce better results.>
People lie, but the system never lies.
This was the number one proposition that all awakened people believed in.
Hunters completely trusted the system. I don’t know how it appears and why it helps, but the system has never fooled them.
‘They don’t tell the whole truth, so they get scammed or commit housing fraud…’
Of course, Heena had some personal grudges against the system. But anyway, for most hunters, the system was nothing short of omnipotent and perfect.
Since this is the explanation window shown by such a system, it was clear that this one contact would be much more persuasive than hearing Heena and Heewon explain a hundred times a thousand times to the guild leader.
“This is…”
Guild leader Kim Gyu-hee looked down at the young spinach leaves with slightly widened eyes. It was quite different from his usual relaxed attitude.
“Because it is not yet grown, the effect is minimal. However, if you grow it perfectly, you will see even greater effects than this. We can supply it at a cheaper price than potions. “If you have Heena’s touch like a peanut, you will get better results.”
“Hmm…”
Heewon didn’t stop there. He kept talking about his abilities and possibilities.
“Besides this spinach, there are many other crops that haven’t sprouted yet. Of course, we don’t yet know what effect each will have. However, I can assure you that the Blue Dragon Guild is worth the investment.”
“So, Heewon Lee, what you’re saying is that you want to trade products other than peanuts with our guild?”
“yes. That’s right.”
Heewon answered calmly, and Heena sat next to her and cowered. It was because of tension.
‘If I don’t sign an exclusive contract with the Blue Dragon Guild, things might get complicated.’
Even if it meant some financial loss, it was more important for the siblings to find a business partner who would keep their secret.
Moreover, Heena has not yet thought of an alternative after being rejected.
‘Should I go to another guild and conduct a transaction with an intermediate cushion?’
Of course, Hee-won beat her heart up in advance, saying there was no need to worry about this.
Therefore, it was highly likely that Heewon had another alternative in mind in case she was rejected. But I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“hmm. okay. “We will proceed with an exclusive contract with our guild with secrecy and safety as collateral…”
Guild leader Kim Gyu-hee sighed.
Heena held her pounding heart and stared at her lips.
“…great. “We can’t let such good items be taken away by other guilds.”
At the same time, guild leader Kim Gyu-hee held out his hand.
She took Heena and Heewon’s hands in turn, shook them, and said.
“All items produced by Heewon Lee will be purchased by our guild. Regarding this, we promise thorough security. Should the price per item be determined after all crops are grown and full effects are confirmed?”
“great. “I guess I’ll see you again next time.”
Heewon smiled brightly and nodded.
‘Great.’
Heena also sighed in relief at the guild leader’s suggestion.
“Guild leader, please take good care of me from now on.”
“We are asking you to take care of us. Thank you, Team Leader Lee, for introducing me to a good business partner. You have a great brother. “Bold and capable.”
It was a compliment from the guild leader of the Blue Dragon Guild. I was so proud that my heart throbbed. There has never been a day when I felt like my brother was as cool as today.
Heena and Heewon paid off the remaining contract with Magic Stone and returned home with proud hearts.

“Hey, the money came in.”
Heewon showed me the cell phone screen. The amount in my bank account had grown enormously.
“How many digits is this…? One hundred ten thousand one hundred thousand one million one ten million one hundred million… Wow, there are nine zeros?”
Heena almost fell backwards in surprise. A ten-digit number. For a small citizen, it was an astronomical number.
“You earned this much by selling peanuts?”
I couldn’t believe that I earned this huge amount of money with just one bag of peanuts.
“I am now rich in cash.”
Heewon rolled around the house happily looking at her cell phone screen. Baduki, seeing this, also curled its large body into a circle and rolled along.
Osaek commented on the work of one person and one plant like this.
“A total mess.”
Heena wanted to agree with Osaek’s opinion, but she was more surprised than that. Heena stopped her rolling brother with her foot.
“Wow… oppa, don’t you think we can just play and eat without farming anymore?”
Heewon answered as if asking something new.
“It’s not. I’m going to keep farming. I didn’t start farming to make money in the first place… Farming is really fun. Money is money, but once I harvested it, I realized I couldn’t quit it. Harvesting the ones I grew gives me great pleasure. The process of raising it is also fun. Plus, you get money, so it’s like killing two birds with one stone.”
He sat up awkwardly and scratched his head.
“And actually, the money that came in is so big that I don’t really feel it. Should I say it doesn’t feel like my money? As long as nothing major happens, I will continue to live with you in a normal two-room apartment, wearing a loose t-shirt and rolling around on the floor…”
“Oppa, you speak like someone who is cleaning the world.”
“Honestly, you are like that too, right? “My hobby is still looking at sale items at supermarkets.”
