A Returning Genius Farmer Grows Money Indefinitely

“Did you raise cows by grazing here?”

“Right. As you can see, the cows were released and raised.”

“Do you think the representative will do the same?”

“Of course I would.”

“It’s a presumptuous statement, but why not reconsider the ranch?”

Seol Min-joo said with anxious eyes. I was afraid that the same thing would happen again here.

“My father also tried to hold on to the end. We tried to provide a good environment for the cows even in the midst of difficult times. However…”

“We also raised cattle. It wasn’t a cow, it was Korean beef. It was my father’s dream to eat Korean beef fed with medicinal herbs from Jirisan. But unfortunately, it went bankrupt with huge debts.”

“Your father also raised cattle.”

“Yes, I have raised cattle.”

Her eyes met through the glass of water.

“I knew from the beginning that Min-ju was the daughter of Seolga’s ranch.”

“yes…?”

“No surprise. It’s because Seolga’s ranch is so famous. Didn’t you subscribe to the magazine ‘Monthly Livestock’ even at Minju’s house?”

Seol Min-ju nodded as if to remember.

“My family also subscribed to the magazine. There was a story that Seolga’s farm is also working hard on animal welfare through natural grazing. There was also a picture of Seol Min-ju in the article.”

“It reminds me of what I said. It even decorated the cover of a magazine… But isn’t it strange?”

“What is strange?”

“Not only our house, but also many people who run the ranch are closed. But even though the CEO knows that, he is trying to start a ranch.”

“If it was a damn thing, I wouldn’t even start.”

“You cannot buy feed by selling milk.”

“I will not sell milk.”

“You mean cows don’t sell milk?”

Seol Min-joo gave a blank expression. He seemed to have gone out of his mind for a while.

“The farmer’s farm in Jirisan does not sell milk. Our main product is yogurt.”

“Yogurt?”

Seol Min-joo rolled her eyes.

It was a surprised face.

It was near the end of my internship.

Han Ki-tak called quietly. It was just him and me in the conference room.

It was a face full of concern.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“That’s it. No matter how much I think about it, I’m worried.”

He was worried about the ranch.

“I agree with the beekeeping job gradually increasing. But, taking a risk with a nonsensical toxin clause… Besides, there are only 10 cows.”

“I plan to increase the number of cows after the prototype is completed.”

“Prototype?”

It was the agenda to be brought out at the official meeting.

The manager of the management support team needed to give advice in advance.

“I’m going to make yogurt with milk from the ranch.”

“yogurt?”

“It’s natural yogurt. Yogurt with no synthetic additives. Of course, it contains important additives produced by farmers in Jirisan.”

“Does it contain additives made by farmers in Jirisan?”

“It’s honey.”

Han Ki-tak then nodded his head.

“I think it would be okay to add honey to yogurt, but I feel like it’s a good match.”

“First, the prototype. Increasing cows is the next issue.”

“I like the yogurt idea. However, if the number of cows increases, the labor cost will not be too high, can you afford it?”

“There are ways to cut labor costs as well.”

“Is there any way to cut labor costs?”

He looked more surprised than when he said he was making yogurt.

“I’m thinking of using a robotic milking machine.”

“Robot milking machine?”

It was something I saw in Germany. The most labor intensive work on the ranch was milking.

This was the reason why the number of manpower increased according to the size of the ranch.

On a European ranch, they were milking with a robotic milking machine.

The robot did not stress the cow.

With good training, the cows will go into the milking machine on their own.

Ironically, it was said that it was less stressful than expressing milk by human hands.

It was also something I had looked at before I left Germany.

Once the prototype got a response, it was the first thing to buy along with growing cows.

“I never imagined that such a machine existed. Let me tell you in advance.”

“I was busy, so I didn’t have time to talk.”

“I was busy.”

There was no longer a worried face to be found.

“Is there any problem with what you asked for?”

“I’ve taken care of everything.”

I had to get a permit from the dairy facility.

Han Gi-tak was entrusted with the work related to the permit.

After finishing the ranch-related work, he seemed to have asked an old woman.

Yogurt was just the beginning. The idea was to broaden the scope to dairy products such as natural cheese and ice cream.

If all goes according to plan, sales of 2 billion won could be easily passed.

Jirisan Farmer’s internship program has ended.

All five interned farmers were hired as full-time employees.

A welcome party was held to commemorate becoming a member of the family.

Baek Min-seok wanted to sit together as a team. Seats were allocated for each team as he wished.

Park Tae-ho was assigned to the management support team. He was a young man who was worried about the disappearance of agriculture in this land.

Cheon Hee-seok was assigned to the shopping mall team. He was a programmer who only played farming games.

Han Ki-tak and Park Tae-ho decided to take charge of the candle factory and manage it.

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

Now, only beeswax candles make a monthly profit.

Baek Min-seok and Cheon Hee-seok decided to strengthen the shopping mall.

The other three were with me.

Seol Min-ju, Noh Hae-mi, Kim Sang-cheol. They work on the farms of Jirisan Mountain.

From now on, I decided to work as a team.

Beekeeping and dried persimmon agreed to work together at a time when labor is needed.

Everyone agreed to move independently, except when they had to work together.

Alcohol was not to be missed at the celebration.

“Congratulations on being able to work with the Jirisan farmers.”

Han Gi-tak told the people. Everyone filled their glasses.

There was a toast and a drinking party followed.

“CEO, I have heard from Minju. We are going to the ranch.”

said Noh Haemi. He was the youngest member of the team and the mood maker.

“Yes, you will work with me on the ranch.”

“Isn’t this a ranch that raises cows?”

“Right.”

“I think that’s amazing.”

I smiled and looked at her. I wondered what that meant.

“We get honey through beekeeping. If you raise cows there and produce milk, you become a farmer who makes milk and honey.”

“Then it will overflow with milk and honey.”

Han Gi-tak received her words. Everyone burst out laughing at those words.

Seol Min-joo laughed together. She agreed to the suggestion that she would make yogurt as her main ingredient.

It wasn’t the yogurt delivered to the factory. It was planned to make yogurt from a single farm.

It was a strategy aimed at the premium dairy market. As Seol Min-ju said, the milk market had no chance of winning.

However, dairy products are different. It was a huge processing market incomparable to dried persimmons or beekeeping.

When I was an advertising planner, I had experience selling dairy products in famous department stores.

All products were imported from Europe and were expensive.

There was only one advertising strategy.

It was titled ‘Dairy from a Single Ranch’.

All dairy products sold were from private ranches.

Europeans valued dairy products from private ranches.

Dairy products are made from milk from a single ranch. In Switzerland, even small ranches exported dairy products. There was also a lot of sales there.

If not on a single farm, milk from multiple ranches is blended. In the process of mixing milk, the freshness was sometimes reduced, and the quality could not be guaranteed in many cases. This is because the types of breeding and feed are different for each farm.

Dairy products from a single ranch could promise freshness and quality.

The high-priced dairy products of that famous department store were selling like wings. Many were looking for quality dairy products from a single ranch.

All products were imported from abroad. The products were labeled as ‘luxury’.

Until then, the Korean dairy industry rarely used a premium strategy.

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

Most dairy farmers supplied their milk to dairy producers. It was because of the focus on milk production.

It was a structure that could not cope with variables such as the milk crisis and the quota system.

Knowing this situation, I didn’t intend to compete with milk alone.

The idea was to focus on premium dairy products from a single ranch.

The drinking party was ripe.

“CEO, I never thought it wouldn’t be milk. Our ranch always sold milk.”

Seol Min-ju said.

Her cheeks were stained red.

“I know your mother made yogurt.”

“How did you know that?”

“I saw it in an interview article. I heard that my daughter started making yogurt because she was constipated…”

I said with a smile.

Her red cheeks turned redder than an apple. I don’t think it was because of alcohol.

“yes. We have yogurt that we used to make at home. But it’s not for sale.”

“I want to try making yogurt the way my mother did.”

“In my mother’s way?”

“Do people want to eat that?”

Seol Min-ju said with questionable eyes.

“Why do you say that?”

“The taste is a bit unique. When I eat yogurt, I feel drunk.”

I haven’t tried it myself, but I knew.

Some said they felt really drunk.

“I wonder how it tastes.”

“Don’t expect too much. You may be disappointed.”

Seol Min-ju said with a shy expression.

Lee Young-ho returned from a business trip to Germany.

The day he returned, I went to meet him directly at the airport.

“I didn’t know you would come to meet me.”

It was an impressive expression.

“Did anything happen during your business trip?”

“Only good things have happened. It is now possible to extract propolis.”

“It’s nice to hear that.”

He recounted what he had experienced in Germany as if in a saga.

Because it was related to experiments and research, I couldn’t understand half of them.

Lee Young-ho, who was shy, seemed to have disappeared.

I listened to the story of Lee Young-ho, who became a chatter, and opened his mouth.

“Have you ever grown a spawn, Mr. Lee Young-ho?”

Lee Young-ho closed his eyes. It was the expression that came out when he showed interest.

“What kind of bacteria are you talking about?”

“Tibetan mushroom.”

His expression brightened.

“If it’s a Tibetan mushroom, I’ve grown it before.”

“It’s just fine.”

“But what are you trying to do with Tibetan mushrooms?”

Tibetan mushroom was the name referring to the lactic acid bacteria spawn. It was derived from the fermented milk that Tibetan monks enjoyed.

“I’m thinking of making yogurt.”

Youngho Lee made a surprised expression. He informed me that several things had happened while he was in Germany.

“A lot of things have happened. From internships to ranches.”

“Yes, a lot has happened.”

“It’s a shame that research takes some time.”

“What do you mean?”

I asked Youngho Lee.

It wasn’t Lee Young-ho, who had been telling sagas a while ago.

was depressed

“I can extract propolis, but I don’t have the skills to make a product yet.”

He seemed to understand Lee Young-ho’s heart.

As he says, it will take some time to produce a product. I understood the desire to show off my skills right away.

However, there is an order to things.

“For now, please focus on culturing the spawn.”

“Yes, Tibetan mushrooms are not difficult.”

“It’s not just culturing.”

Lee Young-ho turned his head.

I felt a gaze on my face.

“What if it wasn’t a simple culture?”

“I would like to make the cultured bacteria into powder form.”

“I will try.”

The answer was cool, but Lee Young-ho had a bewildered look. Sweat formed on his forehead.

“It would be much more convenient to make yogurt in powder form.”

Lee Young-ho smiled and said.

“I plan to make Tibetan mushroom powder as a product.”

“If that’s the case, just leave it to me. I will use the skills I have learned in Germany generously.”

“I look forward to it.”

We finally arrived in Hadong.

I parked the car in front of Lee Young-ho’s dorm.

“thank you. Come out to the meeting point. Starting tomorrow, I will cultivate the seed bacteria as you said. Even making it into powder form.”

Lee Young-ho’s eyes lit up.

“And, can we start producing propolis from tomorrow?”

He tilted his head. It was an expression that the spawn and propolis did not match.

“Production is possible. But I wonder where you plan to use it.”

“I’m thinking of putting it in yogurt. with honey.”
