Friday Joy Package (Friday Friday Night / 금요일 금요일 밤에)

Pull it all the way!

Hi, Mom. How's your New Year holiday going?

No, I can't make it. I'm too busy at work.

They keep slaving me around, so I can't even take a day off.

Seung Gi, we need to get on the bus.

Mom, I've got to go.

Okay. Happy New Year and enjoy the holiday.

I will send you some hangwa.

Real Factory Experience!

Hello, I'm Seung Gi.

Today, I'm here at Gangneung.

I came here to experience a hangwa factory.

Last time, I had no work philosophy.

I didn't have the right attitude.

So I'm going to go to work with the other employees.

I should be in sync with them from the start.

That way, my mind and body will get optimized for the job.

Why haven't any seniors arrived yet?

No one's coming.

They must be really strict about being on time.

Someone is coming.

Hello, ma'am. By any chance... - Hello.

My gosh. Hello! - Hello, ma'am.

Look who's here! - Nice to meet you.

I thought you were not coming.

My gosh. It's great to see you. - You too.

I never thought I'd see you here. - Great to see you too.

Hello. - Hello, sir.

Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

Your skin looks baby-smooth.

No, it doesn't. - Is that because of hangwa?

I guess so.

I hope you have a happy new year. - Thank you.

So where are we going? - Sacheon.

Sacheon? - Yes.

I have heard of Sacheon before.

Hello, sir. - My gosh.

Good morning. - Hello, ma'am.

Lee Seung Gi is here. - Hello, I'm Lee Seung Gi.

You know Lee Seung Gi, right? - My gosh. What's happening?

I recognized you right away. - Nice to meet you all.

Try this. - Isn't this a soft persimmon?

No, I'm fine. - You can have it.

No, you should have it.

I'm really fine. Seriously. - Go ahead and try.

Then, let's share it. - Please be seated.

We already had a lot. Don't worry. - Really?

Would you like a bite? - No, you go ahead and eat.

Thank you so much.

It's really sweet.

The morning already feels warm. - That's right.

Ma'am, what kind of work are you going to do today?

I'm a newbie. - Really?

Are you a newbie? I'm a newbie too.

Today is my first day making hangwa.

Give me a high-five.

Are there many newbies today? - I think so.

It's the busy season for hangwa. - That's true.

I guess I picked the busiest day. - Right.

Since I'm a newbie, please teach me a lot today.

A newbie should work like a slave.

I should work like a slave? - Yes.

I'm scared how much you'll slave me around.

Hello. - Hello.

Seung Gi's here. - Hello, ma'am.

Oh, my. Aren't you Lee Seung Gi? - Right, hello.

There's Seung Gi. - My gosh. Hello.

Your hands are so warm. - Thank you.

I started the day getting a lot of love from the seniors.

It's a hangwa village, right? - Yes, it's a hangwa village.

See you in a bit. - Okay.

Good luck. - Yes, thank you.

Happy New Year. - You too. Have a great year.

It was good to meet you. - See you later, ma'am.

Hello, ma'am. - Welcome.

Are you the boss?

I'm the mother of the boss. - Mother? I see.

Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

Since he's an employee of our company,

feel free to order him around. - I'm also...

Okay, I got it. - I'm also an employee.

I'm here as a worker. - Please work hard then.

No problem. - Great.

Here is mine too.

Let's keep up the good work today!

Let's go! - Let's go!

Please work hard. - Let's move!

Hello, ma'am.

Let's get to work then.

Watch how I do it and learn. - Okay.

This is the first step, right?

First, we make the dough. - Right.

And it's already done. - I see.

These are the dough. We call it "base" around here.

"Base"? - These are glutinous rice cakes,

made by fermenting glutinous rice. - I see.

Soak them in oil over low heat. This is slightly stronger heat.

They're at different temperatures? - Yes, it's all different.

This one is about 100°C,

this is about 107°C,

and this is 250°C.

When they go in here, they start to swell up.

It does swell up.

When it's about this big... - Yes, put them in here.

When it's as big as a fish cake? - Yes, put them in like this.

They are getting plumper. - They're plumper, right?

I can hear the popping sounds. - Right.

Stir it and take them out... - Okay.

when they are cooked.

Once you take them out, it's done.

You cook them only for 10 to 15 seconds.

That's right. Now, place them over here...

to sort them out. - I see.

I think I got it.

Your family has been doing this for three generations?

For 4 generations. - 4 generations?

My son is the 4th generation, and I'm the 3rd generation.

How did you start at first? Did someone teach you these skills?

I started after I got married. - I see.

Because this was my husband's family business.

My parents-in-law were here. - I see.

Did you use a cast-iron pot back then?

Back then, you know the oil stove? - Yes.

We used to fry it in a big bowl over the oil stove.

You only produced a small amount? - Yes.

That's right.

We started out like that and switched to gas.

Now, we're using electricity. - I see.

I should wait a little longer. - Yes, just a little longer.

Leave them a little longer.

At first, you don't know how long you should cook it, right?

Right. - So just count it in your head.

Up to 13. - Count up to 13?

And take them out on 14. - On the count of 14?

Take everything out at once.

Put them all in.

And then, stir it this way.

That's not how you do it.

It should be coated with oil. - I see.

Without oil, it won't get cooked. - Okay.

Like this. - 13. It's 13.

Okay, take them out.

If you do that way, it won't be easy.

It's not as easy as you think. - That's right.

I just want to put my hand in it. - I know.

It's not burnt at least, right? - No, you did well.

Gosh, this is nerve-racking.

While counting 13, 14, and 15, take everything out.

13, 14, and 15.

How long have you been doing this? - Well...

About 35 years.

That means I need 35 years to become as good as you.

I forgot to count. 1... It's 7.
