Returner's Magic Laundry

Chapter 11

“Uncle, are the words on this leaflet true? Is the first laundry free?”

Mister?

It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

When I was in my 50s, I thought it would be natural to hear not only uncle but also grandfather, but now my face is not enough to be called uncle, is it not?

After all, to a high school student, at my age, everyone might look like an uncle.

“Yeah, come in. Will you give me your uniform?”

“Yes, but I need some repairs. Is that also free? I don’t have money.”

If you put it in the water of the forest, the repair is done with one touch, so there was no reason not to do it for free.

“Everything is free the first time.”

“Ah, that’s good. I have to wear it tomorrow morning, but by tomorrow?”

“It’s not really possible, but I’ll try. It’s my first guest.”

He inspected the student’s uniform and made sure there was nothing in his pocket.

The student’s name engraved on the uniform is Jinah Kim.

But the more she looked, the more strange she noticed.

She had torn marks in the dirt here and there.

“Maybe my mother… … You may not know it well, but if you ever see it, please pretend you don’t know.”

Looking back, Jin-ah Kim’s expression looked somewhat dark.

“Uh… … yea, I got it. But do you have any other uniforms? Can I go to school in gym clothes?”

“It’s okay. It’s lunch time, so I’m out for a while. When class starts, I wear a lot of gym clothes.”

“Yeah, come tomorrow morning before school, I’ll clean it up.”

“Thank you. I’ve always liked this laundromat. Every time I passed by, my aunt gave me candy.”

“Yes, thank you.”

The girl turned around and left with a happy expression on her face.

She wondered what was going on, but she couldn’t even ask the girl she was seeing for the first time.

All I could do was wash the clothes clean and return them.

“Goodbye then.”

“Okay.”

She showed off Jin-ah Kim on her way out.

She seemed to be walking for a little bit, and as if she was late, she started to run.

Then a group of students appeared and she blocked Jin-ah Kim’s way.

She seemed to be having a conversation, and then she followed the group of students somewhere.

‘I’m late and I’m not going to school, what are you doing? Perhaps… … ?’

She was worried and she tried to go, but she suddenly stopped when her guests came.

“The first laundry is free, right?”

“Ah yes. Come inside.”

After that, people who offered to leave free laundry started lining up one by one.

When evening came, the laundry quickly swelled to a single rum.

‘Wow, there’s a publicity effect.’

The more work I do, the better I feel.

‘Where shall we go to promote this time?’

I went out and looked around the neighborhood, and the real estate in Segye-dong caught my eye.

‘Real estate is also good for word of mouth.’

Using the evening time, I headed to the real estate with a leaflet and a flowerpot.

‘Seegae-dong Real Estate’, named after the neighborhood, was located three buildings away from a clean laundry.

To get to the real estate, I had to pass through a clean laundry.

Not surprisingly, as I passed in front of him, Hwang ran out as if he was waiting.

I could see the eyes moving quickly from my face to the flowerpots and leaflets.

“Anna, you can’t do something like that. If the laundromat does a good job, it will automatically drop off your clothes. Laundry is also something you have to spend a lot of time studying. When the time is right, come with me and learn.”

“I am studying. Thank you.”

Mr. Hwang, who served meals to the locals and distributed gifts on important days, didn’t seem to be talking about it.

Didn’t they take away our laundry customers in that way?

After saying hello, I went back and forth into the real estate in Segye-dong.

“Hello… … Oh my gosh What’s going on here?”

Ahn looked at me and got up with a look full of anticipation.

Director Kim, who was next to him, also raised his head and looked at him.

“uh? Parking lot laundry child?”

“No, it’s turned into a movie laundromat now.”

“Ah yes. sit this way Would you like some coffee?”

“Yes, thank you for a drink.”

I sat on the sofa pointed to by Manager Kim and looked around.

It was old and filled with a musty smell.

Apparently, there weren’t many apartments in this neighborhood, and there weren’t many real estate transactions.

So, when a building worth selling came up, he would come to us and ask for a deal.

Mr. Ahn has been doing real estate in this neighborhood for decades, so he didn’t know anything about the situation in the neighborhood.

Even when my parents were alive, they used to beg us to come and sell the building if we could forget it.

Mr. Ahn approached me and he sat close to me.

Dark make-up, the smell of perfume, and a soft smile.

It looked like the prey he was aiming for had entered the tiger’s burrow.

“Why? Can you give me the building? Yeah, what’s a young man laundromat? I have to do something bigger. yes how much are you thinking? I’ll sell you well. President Hwang said he would give me more than a cigar.”

Instead of answering, I took out a flowerpot and leaflet from the forest.

Manager Kim, who was bringing coffee, saw the flowerpot, and his eyes widened.

“Oh my, it’s pretty. What’s so lovely about flower pots? Look at the light shining through the leaves. The office is really bright.”

Not surprisingly, the scent was spreading in the office, which had been filled with a musty smell.

Ahn had no interest in such a flowerpot.

When he saw the contents of the leaflet, his expression was already perplexed as to whether it was different from his expectations.

“We are doing it right now. The first laundry is free.”

“Oh my, really? I will go once.”

When manager Kim, who was ignorant, interrupted again, CEO Ahn made an annoyed voice.

“Chief Kim! Did you get a picture of the studio in the back neighbourhood? Do your job or do it right, you talk so much!”

Director Kim suddenly looked at me with a face struck by lightning.

“Haha, the boss is a little angry. I’m listening to Annam-san’s coffee.”

When Director Kim went to his seat, President Ahn raised his eyebrows and went back to work mode.

“There is a clean laundry right next to us, how do we get there? people shouldn’t do that No, and does it make sense to have two laundries in this small town?”

“Our laundromat was there first. Don’t you know that Mr. Hwang learned washing techniques under my father? It’s worse than not knowing grace and setting up a laundry right across the street. But my father didn’t say anything.”

President Ahn made a face that his words did not work.

“uh… … Anyway, we can’t leave it there, so grab some coffee and take this. I thought you were here to put up the building again.”

It was the expected reaction.

it was funny

Then something suddenly came to mind.

‘Why did I forget about it?’

“Tak” his knee and asked Mr. Ahn.

“Ah, sir, aren’t you going to close the real estate?”

Boss Ahn, whom he saw in his previous life, can’t stand the deficit and has bad thoughts.

It was a case of a late night escape when he could not afford the Ponzi scam on the locals.

The Ponzi scam was a vicious scam that distributes profits to existing investors with the money of later investors without generating any real profit.

This incident caused a commotion in our town.

In a few years, the real estate will become lively as the wind of redevelopment blows in this world building, but by then, it will be after Ahn has already closed the real estate.

“radish… … What are you talking about? Why am I folding real estate?”

Seeing my embarrassment, I felt like I was on the right track.

Director Kim’s eyes widened at every passing word and asked President Ahn.

“Sir, are you going to close the real estate? Then my overdue salary… … . And you trusted the boss and invested in it.”

Of course they eat it and run for the night.

Manager Kim is the number one victim of that scam.

fufu.

I just can’t get past it.

“Ah… … Because no!”

I looked at President Ahn with a face that remembered if there was something Kim was trying to point out.

“Let’s hang out, and come to think of it, it seems that the proceeds have not been coming in properly for the past few months?”

“It will be in soon. Can’t you believe me?”

Ahn, bewildered by Director Kim’s suspicious eyes, came to clean up the coffee placed in front of me.

“If you don’t drink coffee, just go.”

I quickly grabbed a cup of coffee and brought it to my mouth.

The moment you take a sip of coffee!

Whoa!

I exhaled

I have never had such a tasteless coffee.

The mop-washed water tastes better than this.

It was the worst coffee for me, who had been drinking coffee all day.

“Oh my, what is this! You must be crazy.”

When I looked up at the sharp voice, the coffee I spit accurately drew a black map on Mr. Ahn’s white jacket.

I tried wiping it off with a tissue, but the coffee, which was already deeply embedded in the fibers, could not be wiped off properly.

“Ah, sorry. Suddenly, I heard Saree. I will wash the clothes for you.”

“Of course!”

“No, clothes are not the problem now. No boss!”

“Because it’s not. Why am I folding real estate?”

“Isn’t it real?”

“Ugh it’s frustrating. no. No!”

Embarrassed, Ahn nervously took off his jacket and threw it at me.

Director Kim only looked at President Ahn with his suspicious face and could not do this or that anymore.

“These are new clothes. I went to an outlet a while ago and after thinking about it for a few days, I bought it with a big heart. how much is that If you don’t do it like new, you’ll be out of business in this town!

“Yes, don’t worry.”

After answering with a broad smile, he left the real estate.

When I left, Director Kim began to stir-fry President Ahn in earnest.

After seeing President Ahn’s clothes coming out, President Hwang rushed into Burinake Real Estate as if he had been waiting.

“No, boss Ahn, have you entrusted your clothes to Anna now?”

“Oh, I don’t know! It’s not like that.”

“Are you really like this? How much rice did I buy you in the meantime?”

“Because it’s not like that.”

“Chief Hwang, that’s not the problem now! Mr. Ahn, let’s talk. No boss!”

Ahn’s investment fraud problem suddenly came to mind.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

No matter how much I experienced the future, I couldn’t remember everything.

If you’ve done this enough, Manager Kim will be able to solve it well.

As I was going back to the laundry, I saw a small dragon truck standing there.

“Chief Zhang. Are you ready?”

“Oh, it’s coming. Did you go to collect laundry? I prepared everything you asked for. Even the wheels are set up so that small ones can be attached.”

“Oh, thank you.”

After speaking, Mr. Jang brought the items into the laundry.

Because there were a lot of heavy objects, I was quickly drenched with sweat.

When I was done, I handed over the cash I had prepared.

“Please confirm it.”

“Okay, okay. Then I’ll go. Good business.”

“Wait!”

Then I ran into the house, poured a glass of water and handed it to Mr. Jang.

“Oh, you want some water? What can I drink in the office?”

I was thirsty, so I drank a glass of water.

“Hey, the water tastes good. Why is the water so fresh? Fatigue goes away.”

The sweat that had flowed from the boss’s face flew away in an instant.

“Uncle, I’m going to go get the clothes I’m wearing right now, so take them off. I’ll wash it for you.”

“No, you can wear it for a few more days.”

“Your mother doesn’t say anything? Do you smell a lot of sweat right now?”

“You keep nagging on your mouth. what can i do though People who work like us are wearing sweat that smells like sweat.”

“Anyway, take it off. It’s on an event right now, so I’ll give it to you for free.”

“free? if it’s free hey don’t take it off Oh, and I brought this. You’ll need this for welding. Write it down and return it.”

“You are very careful about these things.”

After handed over a welding mask and a portable welding machine, Mr. Jang pulled the dragon truck back home.

Perhaps because he drank the healing water, his tanned face looked brighter.

Of course, boss Jang didn’t seem to notice because he was slow.

When I entered the laundry, I moved all the items on the floor and laundry to the upper floor.

Tools for assembling the rear car and welding masks were all prepared.

Waiting for the closing time, I ran to the hardware store and forcibly took off Jang’s clothes.

It smelled so bad even while I was carrying it, I had to vomit several times.

Finally, after closing the laundry and making all the preparations, I was able to cross the portal.

In order to assemble the rear car, it was necessary to first go to the forest and secure the ability to ‘simulate through imagination’.

I left everything in front of the portal and walked along the paved stone path.

As I got closer to the forest, I could feel that the forest was bigger than the last time.

When I first saw it, it was just a hill with small streams and small grasses growing around one big tree in the center, but now there are quite a few trees and the stream is much bigger and deeper.

What surprised me even more was when I checked the coffee tree I had planted.

‘Wow, what harmony is this?’
