Please give me the baby.
Yu Su, let's go home
with your father now.
-Oh!-Give me the baby!
-R-return Yu Su.-Oh!
He is my son who will take over the Great Shin Merchant Group.
Even if I decorate his room with gold
and adorn him from head to toe in silk, it still won't be enough for this Shin Suk Joo's son.
Yet, you want to raise him in a mud hut with the Songpa Stable beggars?
A hideout in a mud hut?
If you want to go to a mud hut, then just go by yourself!
Yu Su can't go there.
You promised! You said that you would just hold him once!
Move aside!
- Great Head Merchant Elder.-Let's go quickly.
Great Head Merchant Elder!
- Now, let's go quickly!-I'll carry the baby... Oh!
Until we lay him down in his room, I won't let him down from my embrace.
Now, now, let's go quickly. Hurry!
Follow me!
Great Head Merchant Elder! Great Head Merchant Elder!
Even if you go now, there's no use.
Please stop the Great Head Merchant Elder!
Please return my baby to me!
You know, the Great Head Merchant Elder
will get his reputation tarnished if he can't take the child back.
After that happens, with what honor will he continue to be the Great Head Merchant of the Yukuijeon?
He'll have to take down the Great Shin Merchant Group's signboard and close all gates.
I...
I don't know anything about that.
Just return my baby to me!
Return to the Great Shin Merchant Group.
How could a mother live
separately from her child?
Yu Su... Yu Su! Yu Su!
We should leave as well. We need to hurry and cross the river.
No, that... let's go, Yu Su. Quickly.
Great Head Merchant Elder! Great Head Merchant Elder...
Great Head Merchant Elder!
Yu Su...
Stop right there!
If you want to pass, you'll have to give us my nephew!
You bastards! Move aside immediately!
Look at how nice you look, it's really nice!
If you get thrown into that river over there, it'll be really cold.
Your heart will definitely just stop! I think...
I'm not sure if you'll be okay.
Shut up, you bastard! You beggars need-
Great Head Merchant Elder.
It seems that today is not the time.
What a pity. Yu Su,
Yu Su. I, your father, will definitely come back to take you with me.
Until then, stay healthy. Okay?
Oh, my! How precious...
You need to take your baby and return to the Great Shin Merchant Group.
Your Highness, why do you keep saying things like that?
I know it's because of him but your being too much.
Madam! The Great Head Merchant Elder
is someone who will do anything to get his son.
You know that!
It means that the Merchant Elder...
Merchant Elder is in danger!
Please think carefully on which
way is the best way where everyone can live.
We just crossed two mountains. Aren't you tired?
Go to sleep.
This is how our stable family members make income.
I have to organize this ledger
so I can fairly distribute the money to our stable family members.
After bringing back Yu Su,
- it seems like you've changed a lot.-Really?
Yeah. Since you have a son now,
you're acting as if you're an adult.
What?
Sun Dol. You know, my father
used to say this to the Merchant Elder in the past.
"If you have children,
take a look at their faces when they're sleeping.
Just as this world won't end just because I die,
business is not just getting a good deal once and then ending it.
"Business is not just getting a good deal once and ending it."
He was an awesome Merchant Elder and a good father.
These days, I think of my father tremendously.
I guess men need their own children.
You know, I want to become someone like my father to Yu Su.
Bong Sam, you're going to become a good father.
I'm going to sleep first.
Yeah, go to sleep quickly.
I miss him.
Yu Su...
Your Highness, what can I do
to bring back my son, Yu Su,
who is more important than my own life?
Great Head Merchant Elder, you still cannot kill Cheon Bong Sam.
If that happens, Yu Su will become the son of the dead Cheon Bong Sam.
He can't ever become your son.
Cheon Bong Sam made a promise to Gil So Gae regarding the Songpa Stable.
On the condition of extending the time limit to repay back the stable debts,
Cheon Bong Sam will put his merchant ID on the line.
It means that he'll quit being a merchant.
At that time, make a deal with the Madam.
Give the Cheon Merchant Group in Gaesung to the Songpa Stable.
If that happens, the Madam will naturally
return to your residence.
Since you are the head of the Yukuijeon,
you have to fight fairly with business.
You dare to...
Are you asking to compete in business?
I'm not afraid.
If you will fight with the skills of business,
then I will
go against your confidently without any hesitance.
You must, you must
take away Cheon Bong Sam's merchant ID.
Take it away.
You just have to do that.
Do you know how long a
kite that soars in the sky lives?
Did you just say a "hawk kite?"
You see, a kite
for as many as 70 years.
The majority of them live for around 40 years before dying.
However, some kites endure excruciating pain
"they arm themselves even more and live for 70 years"
After living for 40 years,
the kite's beak grows too long to the point where it bends
and the claws become crooked.
In the end, it can't hunt anymore.
They have to decide by themselves on whether they starve
to death or live to soar in the sky again.
If they decide to live, they find a sturdy stone.
They find a stone and squeeze it with their beak.
They squeeze and squeeze the stone, they squeeze the stone until their beak breaks and falls out.
How much pain do you think they would be in?
After that happens, a new beak grows.
With their newly grown beak,
they pull out each and every one of their claws.
Even pull out every single feather
and the new claw and new feathers grow...
For 30 more years
they live as the king of the sky.
Are you planning to pull out the beak right now?
I'll endure the pain,
squeeze and break their beaks, and pull out their claws.
I'll conquer the world with this hand.
(Gangwon Province, Inje Yongdae-Valley)
What is that? A signboard is hanging.
(Cheon Fish Drying Business)
Song-Pa Sta-Ble.
Gom Bae, you should at least be able to read the atmosphere if you can't read words.
It says Cheon Fish Drying Business. Cheon Fish Drying Business.
Really? I knew the words looked a bit strange.
Now,
let's go in.
Everyone, you're working hard!
-Merchant Elder!-Oh, you're all here.
Aigoo, Merchant Elder.
-Merchant Elder!-Bong Sam!
You finally came! I thought you weren't going to come because you were head over heels for your son.
Aigoo, aigoo.
-I heard that you now have a son.-Yes, yes.
Congratulations, Bong Sam!
No... I can't just call someone's father by his name like this.
Teacher Bong, congratulations!
Thank you, hyungnim. My son's name is Yu Su, Yu Su.
Yu Su?
Ah, I saw something on the way here, what's "Cheon Fish Drying Business"?
The signboard looks awesome, right? Hyungnim personally attached it.
No... all of our Songpa Stable family members put their strength together
and created this fish drying business. How could it be named "Cheon Fish Drying Business"?
Then would we hang a Songpa Stable signboard
on a fish drying business that dries pollack fish?
That isn't it but... Merchant Elder, still-
Yes. I was a Merchant Elder
and the Songpa Stable is a place that sells cows.
This Fish Drying Business is your Merchant Group.
It's the base of Cheon Bong Sam who just became a dried fish merchant.
Now, Merchant Elder. You should go outside.
You need to inspect the business grounds first.
Yes!
-Hey, let's go check it out!-Yes!
It's a sight to enjoy, a sight to enjoy
For the first run, the quantity of 18,000.
No... how did you get so much pollack fish?
Merchandise is merchandise but that looks to be at least worth 20,000 nyang.
This younger brother here put his ship up as collateral and got a loan from the Hanjeon Merchant Group.
These are the pollack he scraped up while going around Gwangsung and Tongchon.
This... how should I thank you?
I did not help you, I did my own business.
I invested in this Cheon Fish Drying Business so just make some good yellow dried pollack.
Now, let's work hard!
How fabulous!
Great Head Merchant Elder, he
transferred it to Yongdae Valley
and received roe and changran in return.
Do you know the location of their fish drying business?
Ah, I don't know that.
So if you pass the Mishi Valley in the Gangwon Province and bring it to the intersection at the Yongdae valley,
the workers from there come out and receive the pollack.
They are being very cautious
Iif they are hidden in the deep valleys of Seorak Mountain Yongdae Valley
to find them...
It's really a relief that
Cheon Bong Sam didn't become the Representative of Merchants.
Until the re-election of the Merchant representative for next year,
he would be there if he took office.
We should hire baggage transfer merchants to regain the Dukjang (Fish drying business) first.
"That's a given! My grudge against Cheon Bong Sam is big too! It's big!"
Great Head Merchant Elder,
Head Merchant Maeng says he'll definitely find out the location of the fish drying business.
Here. Pyongyang, Uiju, and Gaesung.
The Great Head Merchant has branches of the Shin Merchant Group in these areas
so it won't be easy for us to do business.
Jeonju, Jinju, and Dongnae?
It's all the places where Gibang (bar with gisaengs) and favors asked over alcohol flourishes.
For a hangover, this dried codfish soup is the best.
Our first yellow dried pollack will be ready in two months.
Then in those two months
we have to set up one of these places as a main market for yellow dried pollack.
Where should we go?
Elder Sun Joo
doesn't look too impressed.
I'm just worried
because it just won't snow.
Snow?
Snow...
If this continues, their dried pollack fish will be worthless. Worthless!
You see, a fish drying business
is a partnership with the heavens.
- The heavens helping: 7 and the human: 3-That's right.
The heavens need to help for the dried yellow dried pollack.
It will be hard and black
dusty and they won't even be able to retrieve the cost of the fish.
It needs to be cold enough for the water jar will burst and snow needs to gather.
That kind of weather needs to go on for more than 2 months for dried yellow pollack (malttuk) to be made.
No matter how big Mount Seorak might be, it's still much more on the south region than Mount Won.
I got beaten by my dad in the fish drying business
and worked with dried pollack for 50 years. 50 years
weaving the cut pine tree
with kudzu stem, piercing it through the cheek of the pollack and hanging it.
That doesn't make everyone dukjang (merchant of fish drying business).
Don't ease up trusting the weather.
Think of all the different cases.
Make sure about
Chun Bong Sam's malttuk (dried pollack).
Yes, Great Head Merchant Elder.
Chun Bong Sam and Shin Suk Ju will butt their heads.
Once Shin Suk Ju suffers major damage
then, at that point, we can climb to the top.
"If he loses the dried pollack fish
onto the damage he received from the Poongdeung Mountain Pass,
"it's fatal at the very least."
It isn't far until Shin Suk Joo gets his reputation stained
and has to give up the position of the Great Head Merchant of the Yukuijeon.
Now.
Yes, here... Cheers!
How is it?
What should we do? It smells a bit foul.
I think it's mold.
Teacher Bong! Teacher Bong! Teacher Bong!
What happened?
The ones that were hanged up in the east are starting to smell too.
As soon as the morning dew stops,
move them all into an area where sunlight can't get to. Facing north.
You know how to find Mae-bol, right?
Over there. Since the wind blows the most over there, move all of them over there.
Ah, what should we do? If it doesn't snow within 5 days,
our pollack will not even get a chance to turn yellow and everything will become a failure
Why are you saying such unlucky words, hyungnim?
-Bad, bad, bad!-Bad, bad, bad.
God, please make it snow heavily.
Give us some snow!
Isn't it time for you to give us some snow now?!
Oh, hurry, hurry, hurry. Alright, escort Her Highness inside.
Let's go quickly.
Now, now, now, hurry.
[Gyeongbokgung Palace]
Do you know why I called you in?
Ah...
Since the Crown Prince is ill,
Guksadang Shrine is under a lot of trouble as well
How did you know that my son is sick?
Among those who visit you, was there a palace maid?
I was giving a prayer in Guksadang Shrine this morning around in(3-5am)
Your Highness, tears fell from King Taejo's
uhjin (Portrait of a king)
Is that so?
Tears fell from the Grandfather Majesty's portrait
What reason could there be for King Taejo to shed tears over?
Wouldn't it be that he was worried about the foundation of the country, the Crown Prince's health?
Yes, your words are really beautiful.
Let's go to see my son.
Once the Crown Prince starts to have a nosebleed,
it won't stop.
Western doctor and doctor from Chung stopped by too but it was no avail
Is there a way?
Your Highness, I'll go find a mountain and offer a prayer lasting a 100 days.
Yes. Where are you planning to go? Mt. Baekdu? Mt. Taebaek?
I think Mt. Seorak in the Gangwon District will be good.
Since Mt. Seorak and the Crown Prince's energy match well,
I'll put my life on the line and pray for a 100 days.
Yes... a prayer in the mountains for 100 days in this cold?
I'm proud of your heart.
There is one more thing.
Yes, speak quickly. Quickly!
When I was praying between 3-5am, Muhak Great Monk
gave me a lotus root in my hands
please grind the lotus root into a powder and feed it to the Crown Prince often
and put lotus root extract in his nostrils to keep it from drying
If I am able to get rid of the Crown Prince's illness for good
I won't forget my gratitude
to the Guksadang Shrine.
I'm honored, Your Highness.
Send this to the royal physician and tell him I owe him a favor.
Yes, Mother.
Careful.
Gae Ddong!
I'll be back.
Hey, is it true?
Is it true that you went inside the palace?
According to Kim Bo Hyeon's words, you said that you would cure the Crown Prince's illness.
I'm not the one who cures illnesses.
Western doctor or Oriental medicine doctor, it's the physician who cure illness
Then, how did you know that the Crown Prince had an illness?
Spill.
As long as I'm a shaman in the Guksadang Shrine,
the Queen is bound to call me at least once.
Whether it's in war, business, or anything else,
you can't beat someone who's waiting after having prepared everything.
I'm going to pray in the mountains for 3 months.
If something happens during that time, send someone to Mt. Seorak.
Mt. S-Seorak? Out of all the mountains, why Mt. Seorak?
Prayer is just an excuse.
You're trying to go to Cheon Bong Sam.
People and plates are the same.
If your forcefully shove inside what you can't inside your heart, you'll break.
I'm someone who you can't put inside your heart.
He already has a son.
You know, I
just don't like that you might break
trying to put Bong Sam inside your heart.
Whether I break or succeed...
whether I break or whether I grab a hold of Cheon Bong Sam,
that's something I'll take care of.
They're rotten, they're rotten.
Aigoo!
Oh, the smell.
You have to take this entire side off.
Everything?
We'll be taking everything off at this rate.
Where is the pit?
-Over there.-Really?
No... why is there so many? Are all of these rotten?
Just this morning,
We already discarded 6 baskets worth
This, this, this. The heavens, the heavens aren't helping.
If we go another day like this, they'll harden and turn black even if we dry them.
It will be difficult to get a proper price for it
It's just a relief that we can even dry them.
After tomorrow passes, we'll have to take off all our dried pollack fish hanging in our business and bury them.
It'll be even better if you could just bury me instead.
How is it that snow won't fall?
I'm really resentful.
You can go inside now.
Look here! Why, why?
Exactly why won't you give us snow?
If you aren't going to give us snow, you should at least give us wind!
Isn't this Yongdae where cold north winds abound?
It's not like it's March spring when flowers come to life
the Mishi passage over there is not a small hill in the backyard
do you know how many mouths we need to feed?
Please either give us snow or wind!
Give us something!
(Cheon Fish Drying Business/Dried Pollack Fish)
Snow...
It's snow.
It's snow!
Just because you don't sleep and go around all night
doesn't mean that snow will come.
- Ah, cold! Ah, that's cold! Ah, that's cold!-Cold, cold!
What is this? Cold!
Why are you playing around with ice? What's so fun about that?
Ice? Ice?
Bong Sam, that's snow! Snow!
It's snow!
Bong Sam!
It's snow!
Snow!
Ah, hyungnim. What snow-
snow
It's really snow.
Yes, it's done. It's done.
This is the first yellow dried pollack of the year
What is this?
The first dried codfish from our Cheon Fish Drying Business
in Yongdae Valley came out!
Yes! Yes! Wow!
People who have already received theirs, quickly sit down. Quickly.
Bowls on the right for food in the right caldron
bowls on the left for food in the left caldron
you shouldn't get those two confused
Now, hurry.
Enjoy
from the looks of it, we have a nice batch
Quiet, quiet, quiet!
Pay attention.
Everyone. You all received yours, right?
Among these two pots here,
one of them is from Wonsan
and the other is from our Cheon Fish Drying Business.
You're not trying to guess which one is ours.
You have to raise your hand to indicate
- which side is more delicious according to your taste buds. -Yes!
Our dried codfish will definitely taste more delicious.
I hope that'll happen too.
For those who vote for food from the right caldron
raise your hand
12 people.
For those who like food from the left
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13.
Oh? What is this?!
How come our fish only has 13 votes?
Why is our fish so unpopular?
Hyung, you didn't raise your hand for ours either.
You voted for Machisoon fish drying business too
What?
I really need to cut this hand off.
This stupid hand of mine
It's not your hand.
You need to cut out your tongue that can't even taste properly.
Just like Head Merchant Maeng!
My tongue? Why would you do that to my pitiful tongue?
Everyone has a different palate
Our dried yellow codfish can't be significantly better than Ma Chi Soon's dried yellow codfish.
I don't even want significant difference
The Wonsan dried pollack fish was made from accumulated skills over time
and experience in those years.
Yeah, both people and the Wonsan dried pollack fish
have a value to their name.
Still! Isn't 6 nyang per case too expensive, teacher Bong?!
Yeah! 6 nyangs doesn't make sense!
They are collecting a huge profit by monopoly
Anyway, the Ma Chi Soon's Fish Drying Business charges 6 nyangs per 20 of these fish.
Keeping the price value and the labor cost of our stable family members in mind,
the lowest price we can offer is 3 nyangs.
If it's same quality, people are more likely to buy ours since it's half the price
Let'e penetrate this market just as we penetrated the Poongdeung Mountain Pass. Let's penetrate this!
Yes! Lets pull it through.
The child is almost a 100 days old.
Why do you still have him hidden in the vacation home near Ja Gate and not bringing him home?
Aren't you planning to do the 100-day festival?
I sent them to the in-laws at Boeun
Boeun? that far?
Isn't it better for her to reside at her place?
It's cold here in Hanyang.
Maybe it's because Yu Su's mother gave birth at an old age, but
Yusu is a bit weak
You must hallucinate about the baby since you miss him so much.
At my age, the most beautiful thing in the world
is my child's face.
Regardless of whether I'm sitting or laying down, the baby's face shows up in front of my eyes.
Great Head Merchant Elder!
-What is it?-Cheon Bong Sam came.
Did he bring the dried pollack fish?
He brought a large amount of them on his back.
He just entered Songpa.
He finally came.
First, bring me the dried pollack fish Cheon Bong Sam brought.
Yes, Great Head Merchant Elder.
I usually like dried pollack fish
I can't tell that much difference from Wonsan dried pollack fish
It snows a lot and has strong winds in Yongdae Valley
"The flavor of this dried pollack fish came out well."
Cheon Bong Sam won't be able to beat dried pollack fish from Wonsan.
How can you guarantee that?
For the second mover to catch up to the first mover
it needs to be significantly better
if it's similar in quality, there is no way the second-mover can beat the first mover. If the second mover is significantly better
they will barely catch up or won't be able to catch up at all. That's the second mover disadvantage.
And the law of the market
In conclusion, it's a competition with the prices. How much is this?
No matter how deep the pockets of Chun Bong Sam may be, to battle with me Shin Suk Joo with money
will he be able to win?
You're here.
We should go to our house now.
Aren't you afraid? It won't just be easy going together with me.
Aren't you afraid?
If it's with you, I'm not afraid of anything.
Wow. Yu Su, you rascal. You're a 100 days old tomorrow.
Aigoo, he put on some weight.
How can you frown? He doesn't even recognize his father and he's frowning at him.
Oh, how does it taste?
It's tasty.
Seriously, how is it?
The outcome of our Songpa Stable and our Cheon Drying Business
depend on this dried pollack fish. How does it taste?
You have to climb the mountain to know (its height), and cross the river to know (its depth)
and you have to eat the food to know its taste.
Since people do not know the taste of the dried pollack fish from the Cheon Drying Business,
I think they'll buy it only if they taste it first.
You have to eat it to know, eat it to know
Until when is he planning to fool people?
Head Merchant Gil.
Yes?
You know, that Cha Tae...(Cha Tae: a child conceived from another man)
is the child's father Cheon Bong Sam?
Oh, to that extent... how did you come up with this?
It was weird during the rice taxes incident and it's also weird how they're making such a fuss on the dried pollack fish.
No matter how much I think about it, it's strange that Shin Suk Joo is so concerned about Cheon Bong Sam to an extreme degree.
Yes
Try to look into it. In order to have Shin Suk Joo on a leash where he can't move,
it'll be a great help if we know who the real father is.
I will try to find out, My Lord.
In any case, he has an amazing sense to know where the money lies.
Don't try to find out who the baby's father is.
That's my weapon to use against Shin Suk Joo.
-It's really cheap, cheap!-Cheap, cheap!
3 nyangs per case of dried pollack fish!
3 nyangs!
You know, right?
The Yukuijeon sells at 6 nyangs per case!
Now, it's really cheap!
It's cheap!
-Now, now.-Drink the broth too, quickly.
-3 nyangs per case.-3 nyangs per case!
Now, now, now!
Ah, it's cheap! It's cheap! 3 nyangs per case.
Where is the Cheon Fish Drying Business located? Then this isn't dried pollack fish from Wonsan.
Ah, ahjumma. Who cares if it's from the Cheon Fish Drying Business and who cares if it's from Wonsan? It just needs to taste good.
Just try this. Ah~
Ahjumma, come over here. You should also try the broth here too, it's absolutely amazing!
How is it? How is it? How is the broth? It makes you feel all warm inside, the taste is deep.
It's tasty. It's tasty and warm.
She says it's good! She says it's good! Come here, try some dried pollack fish!
-3 nyangs! -Taste some! Try some!
She says it's good, she says it's good!
Merchant Hwang, the smell might soak in the paper
providing a place for shop so readily
thank you.
What thanks? Aren't you and I
business partners?
If it weren't for you how would Chung-gwang stationary shop
would be able to open a 2nd branch in Songpa marketplace?
Thank you.
Teacher Bong! Teacher Bong!
What?
The Great Shin Merchant Group is
selling dried pollack fish from Wonsan at 2 nyangs per case.
Those bad bastards.
Quickly! Come quickly!
It's here, it's here!(Dried pollack fish from Wonsan-2 nyangs per case)
Good quality and nutritious dried pollack fish from Wonsan at 2 nyangs per case!
2 nyangs per case, 2 nyangs per case
Customers have increased a lot in the short time I went to get you.
What brings you across the river?
Why? Did you come here to buy some dried pollack fish?
You rotten bastard. What is this?!
2 nyang? If you price it at such a low cost,
are you implying that you want out dried pollack fish business to fail or what?!
Then, do you think I would want you to succeed?
What?
- This... I'll just completely bust his head right open.
Stop it. Did we come here to fight?
You should let go. This isn't Songpa,
this is the Yukuijeon!
Ugh, seriously.
See me for a minute.
I owe you a favor regarding my wife. For now, I'll repay my gratitude
with this.
Here.
I'm fine.
You don't have much time left
Exactly what are you planning this time?
What is this? 2 nyangs per case?
For 2 nyangs, we can't even feed our stable family members who work and
we can't even get the price of the pollack fish. What are you telling us to do?
The Great Head Merchant of the Yukuijeon, Shin Suk Joo, is the one who sets the price.
You have to regain the Songpa Stable,
I have to take your merchant ID away and close your business,
and the Great Head Merchant needs a child.
Isn't the dried pollack fish just in the middle of everything?
We have already sold out on Wonsan Bookcheong dried pollack.
You can't beat us this time.
Even if it's at the same price, ours is dried pollack fish from Wonsan.
On top of that, the price of one case is 1 nyang cheaper than yours.
How will you beat us?
The Yukuijeon can just go by its Yukuijeon ways.
You see, I'm going to go by my ways.
Well, do as much as you can
But So Gae hyung,
what's the exact reason
you're trying to take away my merchant ID?
I just told you!
I'm going to close Cheon Bong Sam's business.
Bong Sam, as we promised...
I'm going to have to take your merchant ID.
Fine. However, let's do this fair and square
with the ways of business.
I'll take my leave first.
The ways of business?
Fair and square?
Shin Suk Joo is selling 1 case for 2 nyangs.
Will our dried pollack fish even sell?
What should we do? What should we do? How are we going to make the money to regain the Songpa Stable?
Head Merchant, you don't even know that something happened today.
Where have you been all day?
The dried fish merchants from the Left Jeolla Province and the Right Jeolla Province
arrived in the Mapo Port.
Dried pollack fish... to obtain dried pollack fish?
Since it's dried pollack fish season, they came to sign a contract for a 1 year supply of dried pollack.
I have to meet them.
Ah, they came to buy from the Yukuijeon. Would they buy our dried pollack fish?
Ours is even 1 nyang more per case!
Where are they? Where are all of the Merchant Elders?
I saw them going into Gibang (bar with Gisaengs) in Top valley
Gibang in Top Valley
Let's go.
Yes, yes.
2 nyangs for a case?
Yes, that's right.
Last year, we bought for 6 nyangs per case
There were no rumors that this year had a good harvest of dried pollack fish.
Why did you lower the price so much?
- This person, seriously... There is a rumor going around
that a new fish drying business opened up in Mt. Seorak.
Would the Great Head Merchant Elder worry over a single fish drying business?
- When it comes to dried pollack fish, it's definitely Wonsan. Wonsan dried pollack fish.-That's right.
Then, you recently had an heir, you lowered the price because of this lucky event?
Yes! Thanks to my son,
you guys are able to buy the dried pollack fish for such a low price!
-Now, now. Let's go in.-Yes, yes.
-The taste is good.-I know.
This dried pollack fish from Wonsan is really the best.
All of these foods
weren't made with our dried pollack fish from Wonsan.
They were made from the dried pollack fish from the Cheon Fish Drying Business.
What?!
Did you bring this in as food?!
No, then this isn't Wonsan dried pollack fish...
but Cheon- ...this, this!
Tell them to set the table again! Quickly!
You!
Great Head Merchant.
Who are you? What's with those dried pollack fish?
Yes, I'm the Merchant Elder, Cheon Bong Sam of the Cheon Fish Drying Business in
Yongdae Valley in Inje County, Gangwon Province.
Ah... I guess the rumor that a new drying fish business opened up
was true.
Merchant Elders from different Merchant Groups,
how does this dried pollack fish taste?
It's really tasty, isn't it?
All of these dried pollack fish were dried in our Cheon Fish Drying Business.
I'll drag him out immediately.
Isn't anyone out there?!
Great Head Merchant Elder.
Please just buy one case of our dried pollack fish.
You want me, who sells dried pollack fish from Wonsan,
to buy your dried pollack fish?
Exactly what are you doing? This isn't a place for you to interfere.
Get out right now!
If you just buy one case of our dried pollack fish,
I think our Cheon Fish Drying Business will succeed rapidly!
That-
To buy one case of the new merchant's goods
is a good deed as well.
Great Head Merchant Elder, what are you planning to do?
With the Great Head Merchant Elder's dignity, there is no way
he would reject the new merchant's request

Today is the happiest day in my life.
Return to the Great Head Merchant.
I want to set things straight now.
Completely get rid
of Cheon Bong Sam's fish drying business!
If you get rid of that woman, I'll give you the position of the Great Head Merchant.
Did the mobilized soldiers just ransack our dried fish business?
