Side dishes made from crops they farmed themselves are 1,500~2,000 won? Side dish shop

In these days when cooking is difficult due to the continuous sweltering heat, there is a place that attracts crowds by capturing both taste and cost-effectiveness. At a side dish shop in Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do, where the whole family gathers to make side dishes, many people visit particularly every Friday... It is the closing discount event. Most side dishes here are relatively cheap, priced at 1,500 and 2,000 won, but when the closing event begins, that price is as low as 500 won! Since they operate on the principle of same-day cooking, they sell them cheaply to exhaust all the cooked side dishes. Just because the price is low does not mean the taste and quality are lacking. Some of the vegetables needed for the side dishes are directly farmed and supplied, and working in the fields under the hot sun often leaves them exhausted. Making about 40 types of side dishes every day from dawn and preparing ingredients to be used the next day, they say their entire bodies ache from the wrists to the waist... Let's visit the family who is sweating profusely to make side dishes that are good in both taste and cost-effectiveness.
