Let the fire die and this house dies with it. I'm the one who does the tasting.

Whenever that boy's shoulders hunch up like that, the soup turns out too salty. So I hid the salt jar.

BihyeongPut it back.
Granny JowangAfter I've tasted it.
MaehyangGrandma, the Innkeeper's shoulders have been hunching an awful lot lately.
Granny Jowang...I know.

This jar is the real elder of this house. Innkeeper, Reaper, doesn't matter, everyone hushes up in front of it.

GangnimI was never much for words to begin with.
Granny JowangNo words, just drinking my rice wine dry.
ChorongGrandma, I tried one grain of the salt. It was so salty!

Left elsewhere

I know that name never once made it into his ledger.

I still can't believe he's kept this place running for centuries with that face.

Skip your meals to stare at the water's surface, and what do you get for it?

Saving up a hundred years' worth of words, that one. What's he keeping them for, I wonder.

Coming up short, is it. You're the one who tucks village gossip into the bottom of every jar you sell.
