He accepted Snow White and her puppies as family, but he couldn’t take them to the ship right away.
If it were any other child, I would have taken them away immediately, but we needed a freezer.
This was because it was necessary to modify part of the ship to take them both.
The ice cave is a place for chicks that cannot survive in warm places yet.
Snow White’s mother said that she didn’t mind, but her baby needed a cold place.
So I had to do some repairs to the boat.
The plan was to make a place for the children inside the Mandokjeon before the craftsman noticed by going to the Dangga, but the problem of transportation had to be solved in order to get to the Dangga.
“First, we need to repair the ship.”
“You’re going to make one of the cabins cold, right, Little Dragon?”
“yes.”
“Is it possible?”
“Last time I saw it, there was a tangchahapja (湯茶盒子) for keeping food warm. I think it would be good to make something similar to that. Keeping food warm and keeping it cold are similar.
And then I think it would be okay if I freeze the inside with Seol-i and Bing-i. I also freeze some of the ice on the mother of the snow white.
“
“Ah, let’s have soup.”
A Tangcha Hapja is a box used to keep food warm, like a thermos container from the Central Plains.
It is a box made of two layers, and the space between the boxes is filled with cattails, reeds, or rags to increase insulation.
I use it in the kitchen sometimes, so I plan to use it as a base to create a space for the kids to stay.
“Sister Seol, just in case people come and bother you again, please watch over Hwaeun and the entrance. I will leave Yeondu, Bin, Seol, Bing, and Dongi behind. I will send you your food through Cho, and when the ship repairs are finished, I will let you know through Seol or Bingi. Please also Hwaeun.”
“Okay, Little Dragon.”
“Understood, Little Dragon. We’ll protect you.”
“Please don’t let it seem like Red Moon is opening the entrance.”
-Cheeee.
If everyone were to leave, herbalists or people might come and bother Mother Baekseolgap, so Jeokwol asked her older sister to change the entrance so that it wouldn’t be frozen.
But just in case, I left behind Seol and Hwa-eun, and I left behind Yeon-du, Bin-i, Seol, Bing, and Dong-i, so that I could prepare for any unexpected situations that might arise.
The ship returned to Cho, leaving behind people to protect Snow White.
“The little dragon is back!”
“Confucius is returning!”
When the sailors shouted that I was coming back, as soon as I got on the boat, Brother Gyu-seong ran out of the cabin and asked me.
“Are you back? Yes, did you find the spirit?”
“Yes, brother.”
“What kind of spirit is it this time? So Soya.”
A question from the sister-in-law who came out with her brother.
“Oh, do you know about pangolins?”
“Oh, pangolins. You know. They’re cute. Just curl up.”
“Yes, that’s right. Those cute little guys. The creature we found this time looks like a pangolin, but it’s white like snow.”
“Oh my, it would be so pretty.”
“A pangolin as white as snow. I wonder what it will look like.”
These two people, who live with us, have almost the same tastes as Fabre.
When I explained that I would have a baby, my sister-in-law looked very expectant.
“Don’t be surprised. There are even little ones.”
“Really? I’ve never seen a small pangolin before. Then why didn’t you bring one?”
“Yes, Soryong, what about Sojo Seol and the other children?”
A brother and sister-in-law asking why they can’t see other people during the conversation.
He explained the reason.
I want to bring it right now, but I need to prepare it.
“Oh, the white pangolin is called a snow pangolin, but I couldn’t bring the baby right away because it has to be in a cold place. I think I need to create a cold space inside the stomach.”
“Oh, I see what you mean.”
After talking with the two of them, I called over the Taoist priest who was nearby.
Because if you want to repair a ship, you need the help of a sailor.
“The Taoist priest.”
“Yes, Little Dragon, I will bring the shipbuilder right away.”
The Taoist priest, who was probably listening to our story, immediately came to bring the captain.
The ship captain was a man who used to be a resident of the village of Itaewon in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. He was in charge of our ship. After some time, the Taoist hermit who had disappeared into the cabin came out with the ship captain.
“Have you found it, Little Dragon?”
“Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve asked you a favor.”
“Please. Just speak. I don’t have much to do.”
The captain said with his own mouth that he didn’t usually have much to do, but that was just talk.
The shipbuilder is a very hard-working person.
He is a busy person who occasionally supplements the waterproofing of the ship with things like pine resin or beeswax and manages the wood stored inside the ship.
“Actually, I got a new spirit this time, but that young one has to stay in cold places.”
“Oh, it looks like we need to make one of the cabins colder?”
“yes.”
The captain nodded at my words, but soon his expression turned worried.
He said with an uncertain expression.
“But, Mr. Soryong, I have never tried making a place like that···.”

“Oh, I have something in mind. Let’s go to the cabin first.”
“Understood, Little Dragon.”
I took the shipbuilder and the engineer to the cabin and explained the structure I had envisioned while drawing it on paper.
I’m talking about the cold storage.
“This is how you fill the space between the trees with reeds, cattails, and rags. Just as a hot pot keeps hot food for a long time, it also keeps cold things for a long time.”
“I understand what you mean. But first, we need to make it as small as possible and pay attention to waterproofing the interior.”
“Inside?”
When I tilted my head at the remark that I had to be careful about waterproofing the interior, the captain explained.
“Because the ice shouldn’t melt and get the wood wet.”
“iced coffee.”
Certainly, no matter how well the refrigeration work is done, the ice will melt, and when the ice melts and the floor starts to get wet, the wood will be damaged.
I decided to follow his advice.
“First, we will waterproof the inside of the cabin with melted wax, and then we will put a layer of sand on the floor. Then, we will put a mixture of cattails, reeds, and straw on top of that.
I will also apply beeswax to the wood that will be placed on top.
“Rose rosin is too sticky to apply internally, so I’ll use beeswax instead.”
“Yes, Captain.”
I believed what he said about taking care of everything meticulously, but I heard a hesitant voice at the end of the story.
“By the way, if I do that, I think I’ll use up all the money I got when I got the ship. Then I’ll have to buy some beeswax, but since the amount is large, it’ll probably be a bit expensive…”
The shipbuilder said he needed to buy beeswax, but it was expensive.
In this day and age, pine rosin or beeswax are the best materials for waterproofing.
However, since beeswax was much more expensive than pine resin, he had to buy new ones when the stock that Geumgi-ryong had prepared for him ran out. However, there was no need to worry.
The reason why beeswax is rare and expensive is because it has to be collected from beekeepers.
Because the bees are so small, the amount of wax they produce is small, and because they have to collect that wax, it is expensive.
But the shipbuilder said that because he had never been to our party.
This was because our Tang family had the most beeswax in all of Central Plains.
No, to be exact, I am the wax tycoon.
Because I am the Central Plains wax reject dragon.
‘Don’t worry, just ask the Golden Bear Kings to take care of it.’
Because there was no way I could refuse if I asked the Golden Phoenix Kings at home to give me some.
“Don’t worry about that. There are plenty of them at Dangga. I think you can just load them when you anchor near Dangga this time.”
“Okay. Then I will repair the small storage room right next to your cabin on the first floor as you said. And change the door from the hallway to your cabin.”
The place the captain is talking about is the space under the stairs on the first floor of the cabin that was used as a storage space.
It was a small one-room space attached to my cabin, but it was used to store things like water jugs and deck cleaning tools, and they wanted to fix it up.
“Now that I think about it, there was that place. Then please do that. Oh, and the cold air is heavy, so please leave a sill on the door.”
“Understood, Little Dragon. I’ll double-cross the door while giving you a chin.”
“great.”
The repairs took two days, and as a result, a freezer attached to my room was completed. I brought Seol-i and Dong-i in advance to make ice, and then I went to pick everyone up.
Since they couldn’t all move at once, Seol Nui, Bin-i, Seol, Bing, and Dong-i were brought to the boat first.
As we appeared in the air, Hwa-eun waved her hand in front of the cave below.
“Little dragon.”
“Hwa-eun. Put the box down.”
“yes.”
-thud.
What was placed where Hwa-eun had retreated was a large chest.
This is the thermal container that was brought to transport the white snow cap and its offspring.
It was a problem to get to Dangga by boat, but temperature control was also important on the way to the boat.
Following the chest, the green and the grass came down along with the rope holding it, and when the chest lid was opened, the cold air that had been prepared in advance flowed out.
Seol-i’s cold air was shot in advance.
I quickly ran inside and shouted.
“Okay! You can come out!”
-Pfft.
Behind the thick ice.
The snow-white mother duck backed away at my shouts and then was shot with her body wrapped around it like a cannonball.
-Bam! Kwagagagagak.
A blizzard of snow flies in all directions as the guy hits the ice wall and spins around.
The friction began to wear away at the ice wall, creating a hole right away.
I was wondering how to break it since even Bin couldn’t break it, but there was a method like that.
As soon as the hole opened, the guy picked up the chick that had fallen behind him and jumped out through the hole on both feet.
Even if you say it quickly, it’s not very fast for him, not at all.
‘Wow. So cute.’
Pangolins use their heavy tails to support their weight and walk on two feet, but the snow leopard gecko was also jumping on two feet, perhaps because it was based on a pangolin.
Snow White walks with a limp, almost like a baby’s steps.
“This way. This way.”
When Hwa-eun, who was waiting in front of the chest, pointed to the chest, the guy immediately went into the chest and took a seat.
“Don’t worry, just wait a moment.”
-Peek.
-Take it.
The mother nods her head at the words, “Don’t worry about me,” and the baby Snow White answers along with her mother.
-Click.
I decided to close the lid and move right away.
This box can’t keep things cold for long, even if it’s just for a little while.
Even though his mother was emitting a cold air, he still couldn’t delay.
“Yeondu, Choya. Let’s go!”
-Tsuru! “Okay, Dad.”
-Char. “I understand, Little Dragon.”
The first one wrapped around Yeondoo Hwaeun’s side and flew straight up into the sky.
Then the rope wrapped around the two of them pulled up the chest containing the snow-white armor.
“Let’s go.”
Hang the box like that and do it.
On one side of the lake, I could see myself with a light in the darkness.
Because it was night, the little guy was not just sticking his nose out to breathe, but was also stretching his head out and stretching.
When I got just above the ship, I spoke to Cho and Yeondoo.
“Slowly. You have to go down gently.”
-Tsur.
-Shaaaa.
A chest slowly lowered into the center of the deck in the darkness.
-Tung.
As the box hit the floor, the green and yellow leaves quickly fell to the ground.
As we got off, people started to flock in.
“come!”
“Is the cow inside?”
“Yes, let’s go inside and look at it later.”
“yes.”
With the help of Gungbong, Hyeongsu, and others who had come to see the white snow box, I moved the box straight into my room.
“Can I leave it here?”
“yes.”
Women putting boxes down in front of the door to my room.
As the double doors opened and a cold breeze flowed out, I immediately opened the lid of the box.
Snow White’s mother peeks her head out from inside the box, bathed in the light of a lamp.
A baby snowshoe was perched on its mother’s head.
“Oh my, so cute.”
“Wow. You’re so cute I want to bite you.”
“I want to touch it.”
The cheers that erupted at that sight.
It seemed to be a particular target for women’s hearts.
“Okay, everyone calm down. Okay, this is home for the time being. Think of it as a place to stay for a while before going home.”
-Pfft.
-Take it.
As the mother crawled out of the box and into the space created for her cubs, the women’s questions could be heard behind her.
“By the way, what’s your name? So Soya.”
My sister-in-law seemed curious about their names, so I smiled and said.
“The mother’s name is Sunbaek. The baby’s name is Baekbaek.”
I wanted to name it Baekseol because it was as white as snow, but since Seol already had a name, the mother was pure white. The baby was white.
The baby cries and cries loudly, which also means it is full of puppies.
When the two of us said our names, everyone was impressed by my naming sense.
“Pure white, white white. I think it’s a name that suits you well.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“It suits you really well.”
But what does it mean for women to be amazed?
It really has to please the owner.
He asked with a cautious expression.
“If we are to live together, we need names to call you. As for you, the mother, I will call you Sunbaek. As for the baby, I will call you Baekbaek. Is that okay?”
-Pfft.
-Take it.
When I heard the answer, I got the feeling that he liked it.
So now that we had the frozen peak out of the way, it was time to go find the vortex.
