Chapter 76
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 76
Of course, I expected the answer to be ‘no’, but the words of permission that came out of the mouth of the strict-looking Kang Mok-hyeon were truly unexpected.
“It is common for guild members to make various personal transactions, including items. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be an item.”
He glanced at Heena as if saying something incredibly obvious.
If it were a regular company, it would of course have been banned, but perhaps because it was a guild with hunters, it was very liberal in this regard.
“So you really can sell peanuts?”
“Whether it’s peanuts or something else, Heena is a member of our Blue Dragon Guild, and any transactions between employees within the Blue Dragon Guild are free.”
Mok-Hyeon Kang explained that hunters usually use the Hunter Market, but because there is an intermediary fee, people in the same guild often transact directly with each other face-to-face.
“It would be unfair to limit this to transactions between hunters. At least the guild leader thinks so.”
“Oh, I see. “Thank you for the detailed explanation, HR manager.”
Heena thought that the Blue Dragon Guild was a unique company in many ways, including the clause allowing concurrent employment and the fact that it permitted such miscellaneous activities.
“Team Leader Lee, are all your questions answered now?”
“yes! Thank you for your kind words.”
Heena bowed her head in greeting and was about to turn around when she held out a small shopping bag.
Kang Mok-hyun raised his eyebrows at the shopping bag suddenly held out in front of him.
“What is this?”
“The peanuts I told you about earlier.”
“peanut?”
As Heena wriggled her eyebrows, she hurriedly made an excuse.
“I’m not trying to sell it to the HR manager… I’m bringing it to you because I’ve received a lot of help in many ways. My brother grew it himself, so it’s probably good for your health. “It tastes pretty good too.”
Kang Mok-hyeon smiled and accepted the shopping bag. For a moment, I could see Kang Jin-hyeon’s face, as if brothers were brothers.
“Thank you. “If it’s delicious, I’ll contact you separately.”
Heena blushed at the joking response.
I didn’t know if it was because the face of the head of the HR team reminded me of Kang Jin-hyeon’s smiling face, or because he was blatantly promoting ‘Please buy me peanuts for my brother.’
“I would be grateful if you enjoyed it.”
Heena left the HR manager’s office with a short greeting.
Heena’s steps were powerful.
Now that I had received the company’s official response that I could sell peanuts within the company, I had nothing to fear.
After arriving at her private office, Heena broke up the peanuts and poured them into large wooden colanders.
It wasn’t for sale, it was just tasting peanuts to bring to the break room to taste.
On the table, well-dried peanuts formed small hills. It was a superb view.
“Because some people may not like raw peanuts…”
I decided to roast one of them and serve it. The peanut taste that most people are familiar with is probably not raw peanuts with a green smell, but roasted peanuts that are crunchy and savory.
Heena sat down on a chair and started shelling peanuts.
Tok todok. Tok todok. The speed quickly picked up and the peanuts were piled up in a small pile in the bowl.
‘It’s complete salary theft.’
It was a bit funny that the only thing I secretly did in a private office, stealing my salary, was cracking nuts. However, Jinhyeon Kang also went out to raid the dungeon and had nothing else to do, so it was perfect for a pastime.
Perhaps thanks to the ‘Smart Fingertips’ skill, Heena quickly eliminated a colander of peanuts.
“Now I have to fry it.”
He hummed and poured the peanuts into a large wok.
Roasted whole peanuts. The sound of water flying away and peanut shells drying was heard with excitement. The fragrant smell of peanuts also wafted up.
Heena giggled at the system notification that appeared in front of her.
“The Hand Taste skill can also be used to fry peanuts.”
It wasn’t a dish that required any special skills; all you had to do was roll peanuts in a hot wok.
“Do you think it will taste much better if I stir-fry it? “Then people will buy you a lot of peanuts, right?”
Heena hummed and concentrated on roasting peanuts. Although my arm hurt, it was nice to see the peanuts ripening nicely. It was quite an addictive work.
“It’s done.”
Heena was proud to see the peanuts roasted to a pretty brown color. It was warm and the shell was shiny, so just looking at it made me want to drink beer.
‘Shall I try just one?’
I swallowed hard and thought about just eating one peanut, but I quickly shook my head.
‘The raw peanuts were so delicious that I lost my mind and ate them, but I wish the taste of my own hands could be combined…’ Since
Heewon’s delicious peanuts were reborn at Heena’s fingertips, the taste was almost guaranteed.
Once Heena, who loves peanuts, tried it, she could eat an entire bowl of peanuts in one sitting.
“That can’t happen.”
Heena suppressed her desire to eat roasted peanuts and divided them into bowls. Two colanders of raw peanuts and two plates of roasted peanuts were served.
‘I can take one plate each to the lounge on the 5th and 8th floors.’
I was thinking of just leaving it for a few days and letting them taste it. And if the peanut taste goes viral, Heena’s ambitious plan was to start selling bags of it to people.
He showed all sorts of condescension to Hee-won, saying that he was making him do something embarrassing, but when the situation actually came up, the business was in full swing.
‘I don’t know if it doesn’t taste good. The quality of what my brother farmed is really good, but it would be a shame to eat it by ourselves.’
This is how I ended up rationalizing myself.
Without knowing what kind of repercussions this might cause….

The peanuts that Heena placed in the break room quickly became the number one hot topic in the company.
Not only was it delicious, but the effect of the peanuts was enormous.
Seasoned hunters quickly recognized the extraordinary nature of the break room peanut.
First of all, it was unusual that as soon as I ate raw peanuts, a message saying ‘Your feeling of fullness is increasing’ appeared on the system window.
This meant that it had a powerful effect that could systematically affect the physical condition of the awakened person.
And the hunters who ate the roasted peanuts placed next to them couldn’t help but be impressed.
As soon as I put a peanut in my mouth, the savory flavor filled my mouth and the following status window appeared.
Eating just one peanut will keep you full and well-nourished for 6 hours. This was the perfect combat ration replacement.
It was like that. Heena’s peanuts were like a kind of all-purpose pill that could solve hunger and nutritional problems.
It took less than half a day for rumors about the mysterious and magical peanut to sweep through the guild.
