◈ Poison is for Danga, medicine is for Danga (3)
Protein supplements. That’s what hell spears always carry in their hands.
However, there was a lot of talk about whether protein supplements were ‘absolutely’ necessary to build the body.
Unless you have been injected with so-called ‘steroids’, there is a limit to the amount of protein the human body can absorb at one time.
That is, chicken breast, egg white, beef, etc.
If you can consume up to the limit of absorbable protein through your hourly diet, there is no significant need for protein supplements.
And Choi Kang-hyuk, who went beyond Hell Chang and was a health trainer and owner of a large fitness center, knew this well because he had studied not only fitness, but also various exercises and rehabilitation treatments, and even kinesiology and nutrition.
In fact, he used protein supplements in modern times, but he was not that dependent on them. He wasn’t even on steroids.
However, the story was different here.
‘There are days when you can’t even get half of the protein that can be absorbed, let alone the maximum amount.’
It was less so when I was at the Shaolin Temple or in a large county or city.
The problem is when it is difficult to find food, such as when traveling between regions or looking for something in the mountains.
As my protein intake was insufficient, my muscles began to tremble every day due to the fear of muscle loss.
But if only Sacheondanga would make protein supplements!
‘Carry it with you for emergencies, and take it with you whenever you can’t eat meat!’
Gold and jade can be said to be a panacea that can protect the muscles that have been developed.
And in order to create this precious panacea, Mujin opened his mouth.
“First of all, protein is one of the elements that make up the human body. In particular, human muscles are made of this protein. This means that in order to build or build muscle, you need to consume similar types of protein.”
“Then, what are similar types of proteins?”
“The most representative example is animal meat. This is because the muscles and flesh of animals are also made of protein, just like humans.”
At Mujin’s explanation, the people from the Sicheondang family around him shook their heads.
It was already common sense that the human body was nourished through animal meat.
However, Dangak was looking at Mujin with a quite strange expression.
Although it was kept a secret within the Tang family, Tangak knew that Mujin was a disciple of Shaolin.
But this guy who is a disciple of Shaolin eats meat.
‘As expected, he is not suitable for Shaolin. ‘Cluck, click, click.’
No matter what, you have to be crazy about one field to achieve great achievements.
Not only was his accomplishments outstanding for his age, but he was also starting to become convinced that the young guy was in the same league as him.
“And in addition, egg whites and cow’s milk also contain this protein.”
While Dang-ak felt a sense of kinship as a madman, Mu-jin continued his explanation.
“Hmm. “I understand that eggs can be considered the offspring of animals, but does milk also contain that?”
“That’s right. The protein supplement I mentioned is made from this milk. “By making it like a powdered medicine and making it easy to carry, it can be said to be a medicine that protects and grows muscles by consistently consuming protein.”
The most common protein supplement is called whey protein, which is made from milk.
To be exact, it was made by extracting curds and processing the remaining whey during the process of processing milk into cheese.
Depending on the process involved in the processing process, it is given a name such as WPC, WPI, or WPH.
‘No matter how expensive it is, protein supplements in the early days would have been limited.’
In this era, there was no opportunity for ion exchange processes or hydrolysis processes.
And even if it was possible, it was a problem.
Although Mujin had studied nutrition and knew the types of protein supplements, he did not know all the details of the ion exchange process or hydrolysis process.
Because he was a fitness trainer, not a researcher at a protein supplement factory.
“Have you ever heard of Yurak (processed milk product) that the Saekmok people and the nomads of the north eat?”
Therefore, Mujin planned to ask them to manufacture the most primitive whey protein supplement.
So, how to process milk and make cheese.
After removing the curds and obtaining whey, I asked them to sterilize, dry, and concentrate the whey.
In the whey protein produced in this way, various components such as lactose and milk fat remain in addition to the protein.
Modern whey protein has a protein content of more than 50%, but with the technology of this world, even just 50% more could be considered a jackpot.
‘Still, it’s better than nothing. ‘This is a town where food is lacking anyway.’
I don’t know if it’s lactose intolerance, but it wasn’t a problem if it was mixed with lactose or milk fat.
After listening to Mujin’s explanation, Danggak looked at Mujin with a strange expression.
“Where on earth did you get that knowledge?”
No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t knowledge I could have found in Shaolin.
No, if Shaolin had this kind of knowledge, there was no need to come to Dangga and ask for it to be made.
To Dangak’s question, Mujin answered not a lie but a lie.
“It is a secret that was only passed down to the main family.”
“By the original family, you mean your family?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm? Why is it that even though you have an original family, you are giving us this knowledge? “I think it would be better to entrust the production to the original family.”
“Now there is no one left but me.”
He was from a Ui family, but his family suffered extinction due to the Apostolic Reformation.
That was the details of Mujin’s identity that Shaolin knew about.
* * *
Over the next few days, Mujin spent a similar amount of time at Dangga.
In the morning, I and my companions ate various types of poison handed to us by Dang-ak to develop resistance to poison, and in the afternoon, we visited Dang-ga’s workshop and experimented with producing whey protein.
“Mujin.”
“why?”
“Hey, I think you’re here again?”
“… … “I’m deliberately pretending not to notice, so you should just pretend not to notice.”
In the process, it was a bonus to avoid Dang So-mi, who kept coming and harassing me.

Muhyul, who was alternately looking at Dang So-mi, who was hiding behind her and sticking her head out, and Mu-jin, who was trying to look away, tilted her head.
“Umm. “It’s amazing.”
“what?”
“Are you saying it’s surprising that Dang Sojeo is chasing Mujin?”
Mugung and Mugyeong responded to Muhyul’s question.
The reaction was that the naive Muhyul did not understand the woman’s love.
However, the two slightly misunderstood Muhyul’s way of thinking.
“no. “I’m surprised why Mujin doesn’t hit me when I’m being so annoying.”
“Ukki! Wooki!!”
Even Ringling, who was on Muhyul’s head, barked in agreement, and Mugung and Mugyeong also nodded, saying, “Indeed.”
“That’s right, if that guy had his usual personality, I would have beaten him a long time ago.”
“ha ha ha. No matter how much you are Mujin Do-nim, do you really need to beat a woman so mercilessly?”
“You saw the Cheongsu seal, right? “The way they attacked the mayor of the time during the Yongbong branch.”
“That was a rain dance… … .”
“That’s not it. “I heard from Master Hyegwan that in the past, in Namchang, he chased after and beat up female patrons so persistently.”
Mu-gyeong refuted Dojang Cheong-su’s words by citing the story he had heard from Hye-gwan.
Although Hye-gwan told this story with the intention of imitating Mu-jin’s bold(?) and mean-spirited(?) side.
Mu-gyeong did not even know that the woman who was persistently chased and beaten at that time was Jegal Jin-hee.
“These?”
When Mujin glares at the four who secretly curse at him, the four sneakily avert their eyes.
“Ugh.”
I didn’t sigh hoarsely because of those four.
To be honest, if the situation were right, I would like to at least provide psychological treatment to the monk who followed me behind.
To be exact, it was physical psychological treatment performed with fists.
‘If only it weren’t for Danga.’
It was impossible to cut down the forbidden jade leaves of the Tang family in the middle of the Tang family. However, this uncomfortable life does not last long.
I tried my best to ignore Dang So-mi and move on with my companions for a while. They were soon able to reach Tangga’s workshop.
“Cluck cluck. “Welcome.”
When they bowed to Dang-ak, who welcomed them, Dang-ak waved his hand as if he was bothered by such formal greetings.
“It’s done, and we’ve finally created something useful in its own way, so check it out.”
The reason why Mujin came to the workshop with his group. That was because a prototype of a protein supplement was finally created today.
Finely ground light yellow powder.
Mujin happily put the powder in a bowl, mixed it with water, and gave a cup to each child.
“ruler. “Try it.”
“What is this?”
“Magic powder.”
“Magic powder?”
The four of them tilted their heads at Mujin’s explanation and without thinking, drank the water with the protein supplement dissolved in it.
“Wow.”
As soon as I drank it, I started to feel nauseous.
“W-what is this?”
“Is it poison? “If it was poison, you should have told me in advance!”
“Rather than that, it’s a breakfast of luck! You need to have a fortune-telling breakfast. Helpers!”
Mujin, as expected, made the same expression as he watched the four making a fuss.
‘Early protein supplements were famous for being extremely tasteless.’
These days, it tastes like vanilla or chocolate, but in the past, protein supplements were often described as ‘flavoring cardboard soaked in water.’
And through the children’s reactions, Mujin saw how tasteless it was.
‘I should only eat it on days when I can’t find protein.’
That’s an emergency medicine, not a favorite food.
From the past sixties to the eighties.
It was a moment when I started to respect the bodybuilders who built their bodies before the advent of chocolate or vanilla flavored supplements.
Mujin, who watched the children in pain for a moment, asked Dangak.
“Mr. Cancer King. “By the way, is that also completed?”
“ah. You mean that? “I kept it separately inside there.”
Mujin grinned and headed in the direction pointed by the King of Darkness.
If you ate something that rots your mouth, shouldn’t you give it a gargle?
* * *
After Mujin and his group left the workshop after completing all their business.
“Cluck cluck. “Did you come here because you were curious about this?”
Dang-ak asked a question to Dang So-mi, who stopped by the workshop while chasing Mu-jin.
“Is that the product that Monk Mujin told you how to make?”
When asked while pointing to the light yellow powder, Danggak shook his head.
“They say it’s a medicine you take with water.”
After explaining this, Dang-ak mixed some powder, poured water into it, and handed it to Dang So-mi.
She was very curious and willingly took the liquid and drank it.
“… … Monk Mujin seems to have a deep knowledge of poison.”
I started having strange misunderstandings.
* * *
That evening.
The Dang family, which treats Mujin as its benefactor, presented a table setting that was worthy of being called a sumptuous feast for every meal every day, but today there were a few unusual dishes mixed in.
“Hehehe.”
And the look in Mujin’s eyes as he looked at the food was unusual.
Meat mixed in a reddish, oily marinade. It’s a light yellow lump melting on top of it. cheese.
Yes. Cheese was made using curds removed to make protein supplements.
“Wow. “It tastes like this!”
Spicy food with cheese. It was truly an emotion that made Koreans’ taste buds tingle.
Of course, the spicy taste that builds up little by little based on red pepper paste and red pepper powder, and the spicy Sichuan spicy flavor based on spices, were different forms.
‘Eating like this, it feels like I’m eating kimchi stew that I ate on mukbang.’
At least it was a moment when I could reminisce a little about the taste of food in modern times that I had forgotten.
“ruler.”
Feeling that it would be a shame to eat it alone, Mujin handed over the Szechuan meal with cheese to the children.
“You know that from earlier during the day?”
“Ugh. Why are you eating that, Mujin?”
“Muryangsubul.” I think this is enough. Mujin Do-nim.”
The children, who had been exposed to powders of similar colors, were disgusted and refused the food Mujin recommended.
* * *
At a time when Mujin was enjoying the taste of his hometown.
In the master’s room located on one side of the Shaolin Temple, the master Hyeoncheon was having a private conversation with Ryu Seolhwa, the youngest daughter of Cheonryu Sangdan.
“Hmm. So, are you saying that this letter was sent by Mujin?”
“That’s right. Monk Bangjang.”
“By any chance, do you have a separate contact with Mujin?”
“It’s just a letter sent by Monk Mujin through our branch. “I don’t know anything either.”
In response to Hyeon-cheon’s probing questions, Ryu Seol-hwa cleverly lied without changing his eyes.
It had been over two years since she started working at a merchant in earnest, and she was now truly becoming a merchant.
Hyuncheon looked at her with suspicion for a moment, then sighed and opened the letter that Mujin had sent.
And Ambassador Hyeoncheon’s expression as he read the letter became increasingly hard as his gaze went down.
