Bae Seon-ah persistently bit and stretched. Because I couldn’t do as much research as I wanted.

Eventually, I heard the name Kim Deok-myeong from a nun at the Jijangsa Secretariat.

A staff member of the secretariat said that a person named Kim Deok-myeong had been trained in beekeeping as a janitor.

Bae Seon-ah was sure he was the Kim Deok-myeong he knew.

Hadong was not far from Jijangsa Temple.

She immediately called Kim Deok-myeong.

“Me, remember? This is Bae Seon-ah, who was previously interviewed for dried persimmon farming.”

“Your reporter, what are you doing?”

“I heard Kim Deok-myeong’s name during the interview.”

“Where did you hear my name?”

“At the branch office. It is said that Mr. Kim Deok-myeong is a farmer who has been taught beekeeping by Jijangsa. Is that right?”

“you’re right.”

It was predicted that a request for an interview would come soon.

However, I did not know that I would see Bae Seon-ah again, whom I had seen while growing dried persimmons.

“Can I see you now?”

“Anyway.”

“I will go as soon as possible.”

“Wait.”

* * *

There was still time for reporter Bae Seon-ah to arrive.

I did a final check with Minseok.

A notice was posted on the ‘Jirisan Farmers’ site.

It was about selling honey soon.

The brand and price were not disclosed.

“Why are you so fussy? Not like you.”

“It will be on sale soon. Don’t be in too much of a hurry.”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Minseok’s body looked itchy.

“Do you have something?”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Minseok asked in a playful tone.

“Yes, what do you think there is?”

Then the phone rang.

it was baeyeon

“Minseok, I’ll go out for a while. A guest has arrived.”

I welcomed her.

“long time no see.”

“The reporter is still there.”

We moved to a quiet place.

“But is it really true?”

she asked with a curious face.

“I was wondering if it is true that you are beekeepers. Deokmyeong was a farmer of dried persimmons.”

“Is there a law that requires farmers to only grow dried persimmons?”

“No, it’s not, it’s sudden.”

“From the perspective of a city dweller, it might be.”

“What is different from a farmer’s point of view?”

“I felt it when growing dried persimmons, but our village is rich in wheat sources.”

“What is Milwon?”

“The source from which the bees draw honey. From flowers blooming on fruit trees to wild flowers, there are abundant sources of honey.”

“It’s so connected. Beekeeping is done using Hadong’s abundant wheat sources. It is also the best farming that can be done with dried persimmon farming.”

Bae Seon-ah looked around once.

After looking at the scenery, he gently nodded his head.

It was the eyes that wanted to know why I started beekeeping.

“I understand that, but how did the chieftain get there? By any chance, you didn’t eat Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother’s medicine, right?”

Bae Seon-ah closed her eyes and asked. It was a look that said maybe not.

“As you said, I ate Grandma Kim’s yakgwa.”

“Wait. After eating Yakgwa, you didn’t know Maehwa, did you?”

“Even if I am not a journalist and a fortune teller, I will make a living. You got it all right.”

“Is that really true? How amazing.”

Of course, it was planned.

Learning beekeeping was not easy.

“I heard that Kim Deok-myeong is the only instructor of beekeeping at Jijangsa Temple.”

“Among non-religious people. Before I learned beekeeping, Monk Maehwa was the only instructor.”

“Yeah, that’s what I meant.”

Bae Seon-ah answered with a smile. She took out her notebook and looked at the notes.

“I heard that he also owns a bureaucrat bee.”

“You got that information. you’re right.”

“Can I know the process? The whole process of Deokmyeong learning beekeeping at Jijangsa.”

Briefly told the reporter the story of entering Jijangsa.

No unnecessary talk.

It was better not to talk for a few days in the cave.

It could cause some misunderstanding.

However, there was one story I wanted to tell.

It wasn’t the story of the chieftain.

“I do beekeeping with the villagers.”

“Are you with the villagers?”

Bae Seon-ah’s eyes lit up. She knew that several people worked together to make dried persimmons.

“Yes, I sold beehives to the villagers. It helps pollinate fruit trees and saves native bees.”

she showed interest

The story of a person who has been taught beekeeping by the Jijangsa to work together with the villagers to raise bees is appealing.

“Can I see how the villagers raise bees?”

“Follow me.”

I went around town with her.

There were beehives in every house. Bees were moving flowers from trees.

She pressed the continuous shutter.

The villagers greeting me were also photographed.

“Kim Deok-myeong, you are really amazing. It’s a completely different feeling from when you’re farming dried persimmons. And the attitude of the locals.”

“Not much has changed since then. It’s just one more thing.”

“Have you ever produced honey?”

“Yes, I just harvested it.”

“Can I see the product?”

“Anyway.”

I went to the warehouse with her. It was a warehouse used for growing dried persimmons.

“How many of these are there?”

“About 3000.”

“It’s a huge amount.”

The jar of honey was labeled with Jijangsa Honey.

“My name is Jijangsa Honey.”

“I got permission from the branch manager.”

The correct name was the honey of the master beekeeper.

I decided to call it Jijangsa Honey for short.

“It has a different name.”

It was honey from a beehive brought from Jijangsa Temple.

Exactly twenty bottles came out.

It was named Jijangsa nectar honey.

“Can I take pictures of all of these?”

“Yes, do what you like.”

After taking all the pictures, reporter Bae Seon-ah turned to me.

“But it’s strange.”

“What is strange?”

“I don’t think it has been sold yet.”

“It was going to go on sale soon.”

“You know there are a lot of people who are aiming for Jijangsa honey right now, right?”

She had a foxy look.

“I know.”

“Could you give me some time?”

I knew what you meant.

“Are you saying you want to promote the product?”

“If the article is helpful, it could be publicity.”

It was as she said.

I was waiting for the janitor’s honey to become known to the public.

Now was the time to start acting.

Coincidentally, she came to me first.

I thought I should give you a present.

“Is there anything reporter Bae wants from me?”

“Whenever there is an article, it always comes first to me.”

“It can be anything like that.”

An article appeared in the newspaper the next morning.

It was about Kim Deok-myeong, the master of beekeeping at Jijangsa Temple.

After the article was published, requests for coverage flooded.

The topic that had been directed to the Jijangsa and the nuns had changed to Kim Deok-myeong, who raises bees with the villagers.

It was the best time to sell honey.

There is no growth without adventure

“Dukmyung, did you read the newspaper?”

Dad asked with a surprised face.

I looked at the newspaper my father was reading.

There was an article about Kim Deok-myeong, the master of beekeeping at Jijangsa Temple.

The story of her transformation from a dried persimmon farmer to a beekeeper decorated one page.

The details of beekeeping in cooperation with the villagers were reported.

He was the only farmer who learned beekeeping from Jijangsa and praised him as a young leader to save the village.

“Your story has been published in every newspaper.”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

My father opened another newspaper and talked.

He warned his parents that a report would be released. Even though it was foretold, it was a look of surprise.

He looked at me with proud eyes. So was my mother.

* * *

The members of the Jirisan farmers gathered in one place.

Both Min-seok and Ka-hee looked satisfied.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Minseok opened his mouth first.

“I didn’t know that our honey would become an article. Did you already know?”

“I didn’t know either.”

“I don’t think so… I think he expected this to happen.”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Minseok looked at me with suspicious eyes.

“How was it that you asked for development rather than that?”

“Still working.”

“When do you think it will end?”

“If you work hard, it will be over in a few days.”

“Take some trouble.”

What Minseok asked for was a visitor log record. Regardless of whether you purchase a product, people who visit your site will always have a record.

Analyzing the log records reveals improvements to the site.

I ordered Minseok a tool to analyze log records.

It was a request when I returned home.

Server work was very busy. It would have been difficult to do it alone.

“I have no problem selling the product right now. Note it.”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Minseok smiled and said.

He was right. There was no problem with selling right away.

However, a tool that analyzes log records will definitely come in handy.

“From this time on, I want to see the pattern of purchasing. To understand the minds of consumers.”

“Okay. I’ll see you in a few days.”

By analyzing the patterns of buyers alone, improvements could be identified.

I wanted to run the site more professionally than when I sold dried persimmons.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Minseok immediately started working.

I turned my gaze to Gahee.

“Kahee, are you ready?”

“I need some time too.”

“How much do you need?”

“It will be over in two days at the earliest.”

He ordered Kahi to make beeswax candles.

The price of local honey was higher than that of dried persimmons.

It was one of the most expensive agricultural products.

I suggested giving gifts to customers who bought honey.

Gift marketing is always right. Customers respond to even the smallest gift.

Beeswax candles were a luxury gift.

She could be called a beeswax candle expert.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

My hands were as fast as when making dried persimmons.

Since it was a manual job, it was natural that it would take time. I was still working all night long.

she asked before returning to the studio.

“Then are you going to sell them when all the gifts are made?”

“I will.”

“you’re close.”

It was a look of expectation. She immediately went back to work.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

My parents had entrusted me with packaging the product.

Everyone was doing their job in unison.

While they were busy, I also had work to do.

* * *

I met Master Yang Dae-ho and boarded the train to Seoul.

He had his eyes closed. It was a thoughtful face.

“Are you worried about anything?”

I asked him.

Yang Dae-ho quietly opened his eyes.

“I don’t know if this will benefit us.”

Yang Dae-ho and I were on our way to Yeouido. Today’s broadcast was scheduled.

‘Everyone’s Discussion’ was a discussion program.
