■ Susunochchi in Gajeong Village, surrounded by mountains and water! Gajeong Village in Yeongwol-gun, where you still have to take a boat over a winding mountain road to get to the village. How did this remote village with only three households overcome the barley pass? The savory taste of red bean jelly and susunochchi baked by grandmother Kim Yeon-ja, who came to marry her husband across the river by boat 50 years ago, and grandmother Lee Chun-hwa who puts dasulgi, which is spread all over the river, on the table. We take a look at the stories of the barley pass days of the people of this remote village surrounded by mountains, who could not easily go to the hospital even if they were sick, and the natural meals of the people along the river who live without greed. ■ Bossam with fish! Won-bun-juk!! Bbaengchang Village in Munsan-ri, Yeongwol-gun, located on the upper reaches of the Donggang River, uses a traditional method of catching fish by putting bait in a bowl, making only one hole, and then sealing it. April to May: Tonggari, which is in season now, has a deadly thorn that will not give birth even if you do a ritual. However, its taste is incomparable to that of most freshwater fish. Villagers used to make a unique food called wonbanjuk with tonggari. This wonbanjuk is made by thinly slicing the fish and mixing it with wheat flour, so that you can eat your fill with a small amount of fish. Let's meet wonbanjuk, a delicacy from the Barley Pass period. ■ Songgi-tteok, a food eaten during extremely poor times! Do you know the origin of the expression "extremely poor"? It is said to have originated during the Barley Pass period when there was no proper food, so everyone would climb the mountains to dig up kudzu and even peel and eat pine bark... Herbalist Kim Myeong-gyeong, who dug up and ate kudzu during the spring famine like these days; roasted kudzu, a delicacy that soothed his hunger during those hungry days; and even pine bark that he would break off a pine branch and eat as a snack with his friends on the way home. We will learn about the rough foods of those extremely poor times that were ground, powdered, soaked, pounded, and chopped but could not be digested. ■ A table full of tears prepared despite being scolded by her mother-in-law! When spring comes, the wild greens that bloom everywhere were a welcome gift of spring that filled hungry stomachs during the barley harvest. Including jilchanggu (jichinggae), shepherd's purse, and various wild greens that come out first in spring, water was added to increase the amount mixed with soybean powder and eaten as a vegetable soup. And the barley food of grandmother Lee Yang-ja, who didn't know how to do anything, had to grind it all day long while getting scolded by her scary mother-in-law in the mountains of Gangwon-do in order to barely be able to put it on the table. Let's take a look at the mountain village table of Gangwon-do, which was made with the tears of a bride in Jeolla-do. ■ I hate to even look at it! Kkoldtu noodles!! In those days when it was hard to even see rice, especially in the remote mountains of Gangwon-do where rice was rare... Buckwheat grew well even in the barren land of Gangwon-do and became a precious food for the women of Yeongwol who could not eat even two mal of rice in their entire lives. Grandmother Kwon San-ok ground buckwheat instead of rice to make noodles to fill the stomachs of her hungry children. Since she even made noodles from the buckwheat husks, the noodle strands were black and ugly like maggots. The name 'Kkoldtu noodles' was given because it was so disgusting at that time that I hated to even look at it. In Jeongseon, the noodles are elastic and when you suck up the noodles in the soup, the tip of the noodles hits the bridge of your nose, so you can experience the taste and memories of a food that is not fancy but full of vitality.
