They were collaborating to study bees. He promised that he would come to Korea soon. Anytime was welcome.

The story ended before we arrived at Dortmund Airport.

After the story was finished satisfactorily, I went into the airport by myself.

* * *

Arrived at Incheon International Airport. Before going down to Hadong, I stopped by the Beekeeping Association.

It was late, but Moon-ho Park was guarding the office. Yang Dae-ho was also there.

“It was hard.”

“no.”

Reported to both presidents regarding the contract.

That’s why they were waiting for me. Announcing that the contract was successful, he presented a gift brought to Germany.

It was a beehive brought from Germany.

“I’ve never seen this type of hive before.”

Park Moon-ho and Yang Dae-ho looked at the hive with curious eyes.

“If it is improved, it seems that it can be used sufficiently in Korean farms.”

Yang Dae-ho looked at the beehive and said. What he was interested in was the small form of the Langstros hive. It was a beehive that was small in size while maintaining the convenience of the Lang-Strauss method.

“I agree with the president.”

It was a model that could improve the uniform beehive in Korea.

Park Moon-ho looked at the beehive and said that he had a good idea.

“I’d love to put this in the beekeeping school. It’s small, so I don’t think it’s burdensome for children to use.”

Even looking at the same thing, they had different views depending on their point of view.

“How did your request from the president go?”

asked Park Moon-ho.

“It’s fine. We will contact you soon.”

“thank you.”

“What is your request?”

Yang Dae-ho, who was looking at the beehive, asked with curious eyes.

“Kim Deok-myung asked us to gather young farmers.”

Park Moon-ho said to Yang Dae-ho.

“Are you a young farmer?”

Once again, daily life in Hadong began.

Before going to work, I headed to the apiary. My mother followed me.

When I arrived at the apiary, my mother opened her mouth.

“Something strange happened in the last few days.”

“Is it strange?”

“Look at that.”

Carcasses of wasps were seen near the hive.

“What the wasps did wrong…”

I picked up the wasp carcass that had fallen to the floor. It looked just like when a wasp died on amber jewels.

“I was curious, so I checked out the other houses, but the other houses didn’t know. It seems like only my apiary can do this.”

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

Mother left those words and went to the garden.

I headed to the oak tree in the middle of the apiary.

It was the place where the amber jewels were buried. He witnessed the amber gem killing wasps, and hid the amber gem in the center of the apiary.

20 long-lived wasps can kill 100,000 bees. As long as I have this amber gem, I have no fear of wasps.

After examining the apiary, I headed to the office.

Han Ki-tak and Baek Min-seok welcomed them.

“But why are you alone?”

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

Minseok asked with curious eyes.

Lee Young-ho told the story that he had decided to stay in Germany longer.

“I have a meeting. Everyone go to the conference room.”

We checked the condition of the candle factory first. Sales of candles were steady.

“The beeswax candle market is growing steadily. However, there is a high probability that it will not grow further after a certain period of time.”

Han Gi-tak said while reporting the sales status.

It was expected from the beginning.

Honey was harvested twice a year. Dried persimmons could only be made once a year.

Currently, the only sustainable work is to produce and sell candles.

It was time to expand the scope of the business.

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

Manpower was needed for that.

“We plan to fill the workforce as everyone wants.”

As if waiting for that to be said, he agreed with the comment.

“We have asked you to gather young farmers.”

“Are you recruiting young farmers?”

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

Minseok asked.

“We are recruiting young farmers through the Farming School. We discuss and decide how to fill the workforce.”

Park Moon-ho had an acquaintance with the president of the Farming School. The farm school was an institution where people who wanted to return to farming were educated.

It was a time when interest in ecological and sustainable life was growing, so farming schools were receiving a lot of attention. A wide range of people gathered, from middle-aged people who were about to retire to young people who dreamed of becoming young farmers. These were basically people interested in agriculture and looking for prospects in the countryside.

I asked Mun-ho Park to gather the young people from the farming school. Sufficient people were recommended.

I was thinking of discussing the specific process with my colleagues.

“I would like to have a young farmer internship.”

Han Gi-tak said. It was the words of the manager of the management support team. I also agreed with him.

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

Minseok nodded his head.

“How should I run an internship?”

He looked at his colleagues and asked.

“I think it would be good to do both a common task and an individual task at the same time.”

Han Gi-tak commented.

A common task was farming.

It was different from selecting a researcher. It was a manpower to work with the farmers of Jirisan.

From dried persimmon farming to beekeeping, everyone had to be able to work together.

Farming was essential during the internship process.

Each task was a process for selecting team members.

At the end of the internship, we had to deploy staff to management support, shopping malls, and product production teams.

“What if we split the morning and afternoon hours to run the program?”

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

Minseok commented. The idea was to finish farming in the morning and run an internship by team in the afternoon.

Everyone agreed with the opinion.

“Soon, I will conduct an internship with a young farmer.”

* * *

The internship proceeded quickly.

The applicants were young farmers who graduated from the Farming School this year.

There were more applicants than expected, and it was difficult. There were more than twenty applicants who applied. After looking at the documents, we decided to reduce the number of people and select 5 people. After looking at the application form, he selected the people who would become his team members.

The orientation was held at Xiamen Elementary School.

“My name is Kim Deok-myung. I hope this internship will be a great opportunity for everyone.”

told the internship participants.

The internship period is set to one month.

All participants were from other countries. There were a lot of things that had to be done before lodging.

After orientation, it was followed by dinner.

Before eating, there were introductions of people participating in the orientation.

“My name is Park Tae-ho. I was far from farming. My parents are also from the city. There was a reason I became interested in farming. While traveling abroad, I saw a devastated land. I was surprised to hear that it used to be fertile farmland. I was shocked to hear that agriculture was completely destroyed and that we depend only on imports for agricultural products. Seeing that, I decided to become a farmer. I decided to become a farmer who saves Korea’s agriculture.”

Park Tae-ho was the first person to be chosen by Han Ki-tak. Han Ki-tak liked his seriousness.

“My name is Hee-seok Cheon. I worked as a programmer in a game company. It has been my dream since I was a child to join a game company, and I found out the moment my dream came true. What I dreamed of and the reality are so different. When I decided to resign, I struggled a lot and thought about it a lot. Then I played the game. It was a game related to farming, but I thought I wanted to try it myself, not a game.”

People laughed at those words.

Cheon Hee-seok was the person Baek Min-seok looked up to. He was the only programmer among the applicants.

There were many similarities to Baek Min-seok.

“My name is Seol Min-ju. I am also a fan of dried persimmons made by farmers in Jirisan. Because I like sweet things. I have experience in farming since childhood. I had a dream of starting a farm when I became an adult, but it’s not easy. So I got a job in the city. But is there really no way to farm and live happily in the countryside? I think I’ve always thought about it. While I was working, I went to a weekend farm, and then went to a farm school. In the end, I ended up participating in an internship like this. Take good care of me.”

Seol Min-ju. She was the one I noticed. It was because of his unusual history that caught his eye. He was a man of experience unparalleled to others.

The rest of the people were also introduced.

After finishing the schedule, everyone headed home.

Han Gi-tak guided them.

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

Me and Minseok went home together.

“Is it right to entrust the common tasks to the village elders?”

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

Minseok asked. A common task was farming.

We decided to give them two assignments.

It was beekeeping and orchard work.

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

My parents decided to take care of the bee-bong.

Jeong Gil-san, who owns the largest farm in the area, decided to take over the orchard work.

He decided to actively cooperate with the farmers in Jirisan with his daughter Jeong Ga-hee.

I knew what Minseok meant. He said we should do it ourselves rather than entrust the common task of farming.

“I thought it was better to learn farming from adults.”

He walked for a long time without saying a word.

“I think it would be better to learn from adults. Our age difference is not that much.”

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.

From the next day, the youth farmer internship began in earnest.

The town was full of youthful energy.

The bees in the apiary also seemed to welcome the young farmers.

The adults passed on their know-how to the young farmers.

It was different from learning farming in a farm school.

It was the voice of people who made a living in agriculture. Not a single sack of fertilizer was thrown away.

They also listened to the farmers.

At that time, I was on the move. He only told his colleagues that he had important work to do.

I had an important appointment today. The person I was supposed to meet was Leah Byung-soo.

He was a man known as the rich man of Hadong.

Literally, he owned a huge amount of land.

When I called him, he left a lasting impression.

“I knew when I would get a call from you. I also wanted to see you once. I will be waiting.”

In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references

Na Byeong-soo was a person who had no contact with me. Even if you saw me on TV, it was strange to say.

I wanted to prepare for the next farming in the stage of expanding manpower. To do that, he needed the help of Byung-soo Leah.

Byung-soo Na’s house was like a mansion. Luxury cars were parked in the parking lot as if on display.

As I got out of the car, a man who appeared to be the butler appeared.

“Are you Kim Deok-myeong?”

“you’re right.”

“Follow me.”

I followed the man into the house. There was marble on the floor.

The sofa and the ornaments on the wall looked expensive.

Contrary to the colorful decorations, the house was quiet. It was as if only Leah and the butler were protecting the house.

The man went up the stairs to the second floor.

As we entered the second floor, the door opened from the corner room. A man in a wheelchair came out of it.

“You are Kim Deok-myung.”

it was leprosy He had gray hair and was wearing a red robe.

“Have you eaten?”

“Yes, I ate.”

“I was going to talk while eating.”

Obviously there was no talk of food. He seemed like someone who made his own decisions based on his mood.

When I didn’t answer, he frowned.

“Then let’s have a cup of tea.”

“yes.”

Byung-soo Na beckoned to the man who seemed to be the butler.

The man moved swiftly at the gesture of Leah Byung-soo.

Byung-soo Na moved an electric wheelchair.

I followed him into the library.

He had a great talent for making others uncomfortable.

We didn’t say anything until the coffee arrived.

When the butler ordered coffee, he finally opened his mouth.

“Yeah, why did you ask to see me?”

“I want to rent the land that the elderly have.”

In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references

Na Byung-soo stared at me without answering.

There was a cool feeling in his eyes.

terms of rental

In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references

Na Byeong-soo picked up a cup of coffee.

“Okay, which land do you want?”

“I want the place where Seoil Farm used to be.”

“It’s Seoil Farm, so you want a pasture?”

He looked at me with sharp eyes.

“What are you doing there? I heard you raise bees. Are you planning to do beekeeping there?”

“no.”

“Then what are you planning to do in that vast land?”

“I’m thinking of raising cows.”

Byung-soo Na put down his coffee cup.

The land I wanted to rent was the site of Seoil Farm.

Seoil Farm was the largest dairy farm in Hadong.

Farmer Seo-il Kim operated a large-scale farm on the site.

It was a family business that had been passed down from generation to generation.

Kim Seo-il was also a pioneer in dairy farming. Natural grazing is chosen for animal welfare.

Cows were raised on large pastures and milk was produced.

However, it was swayed by the milk crisis that struck in the early 2000s. Crude oil that exceeded the limit due to the milk quota system had to be passed at a bargain price.

In the same period, the price of private equity also rose.

It was the moment when the ranch that had been passed down for three generations collapsed.

At that time, Byung-soo Le took over the land.

Now only weeds were overgrown.

In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references

Na Byung-soo looked at my face and smiled bitterly.

“I saw an article about you. I heard you are a promising young farmer. I thought you’d meet me someday Because we need the land where we cultivated the land and raised animals.”

Before meeting Na Byung-soo, a real estate agent inquired.

A real estate agent said that Na Byung-soo was a unique person.

He said that no matter how good the conditions were, he would not sell or lease the land.

That’s why I called him directly.

“Are you really going to run a ranch there?”

“Yes, I plan to run a ranch there.”

“You are a curious person.”

He looked me in the eye and said.

“Well, there’s no such thing as a good location to run a ranch. Like Rancher Kim Seo-il, you’re going to do natural grazing for animal welfare?”
