“Yogurt with propolis and honey.”

“you’re right.”

“It’s a clever ID. It makes me want to eat it right away.”

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

We wanted to give our own color to dairy products from a single ranch.

There was a need for something that would save the individuality of the farmers in Jirisan.

The core competencies were local honey and propolis.

It is a natural additive to add to yogurt.

The benefits of yogurt

It was a busy day at the ranch.

There were only 10 cows raised, but there were many things that needed human hands.

Seol Min-ju, Noh Hae-mi, and Kim Sang-cheol fulfilled their roles.

The barns were cleaned when the cows graze on the pasture.

In order for the growing calves to grow up healthy, they had to be fed a nutrient-rich diet.

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

Most importantly, it was milking. Cows can get sick if they are not milked.

Twice a day, morning and evening, she received raw milk using a milking machine called a milker.

I imagined the use of a robotic milking machine as the number of cows grew to hundreds. The robotic milking machine was to be purchased at the time of increasing the cows.

Milk squeezed from milk is pasteurized and stored in a refrigerated tank.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen pasteurization.”

Seol Min-ju said while watching the milk being transferred to the refrigerated tank.

She looked at him for a while, curiously.

“On our ranch, we store raw milk straight into the refrigerated tank.”

As she said, on a typical dairy farm, the job is done by transferring raw milk to a tank.

This is because raw milk that has not been processed is collected by milk processors.

The ranch produced milk and delivered it to processing companies, but did not participate in processing or distribution.

It was also the cause of the problem when the milk quota system was introduced in line with the milk crisis.

I could only pass the milk I had been allocated at my price. The remaining milk had to be sold at a bargain price. This was the reason most of the ranches went bankrupt.

“In our ranch, we will make finished products. All processed products, including milk.”

It will be the best dairy product from a single ranch.

“By the way, aren’t there too few cows?”

Seol Min-ju tilted her head and asked.

Currently, 5 out of 10 cows are milking. All were Holsteins.

Spotted soda, as we know it. The rest were calves in need of further growth.

“First, we will focus on making a prototype. After that, we will increase the number of cows.”

“Well, prototypes are important.”

Seol Min-joo smiled and said.

“So, by the way, have you contacted your parents?”

He told Seol Min-ju’s parents that he wanted to seek advice on yogurt.

“My mother said that she would visit the ranch directly.”

“That’s fine. Did your father say anything?”

“My father…”

Seol Min-ju’s face hardened for a moment at the word “father”.

Her father is Seol Kang-min, who also founded the Korea Ranch Research Society.

I had a story I wanted to tell him. I thought the opportunity would come soon.

“Do you need a father to make yogurt?”

“no. It is enough for my mother to come.”

Seol Min-joo’s expression softened.

“The vet was supposed to come in the afternoon. Please take a good look at the cows. The veterinarian knows it too. I can call you anytime in case of an emergency.”

“yes.”

Seol Min-ju answered in a bright voice.

She also shared the identity of the ranch.

The cows raised on the farms of Jirisan farmers did not plan to use antibiotics and hormones.

Cows fed natural pasture and organic feed were our unique differentiating strategy.

In order to maintain the strategy, he had to undergo frequent health check-ups.

Seol Min-ju’s father was a pioneer of eco-friendly ranches.

He was against raising cows in narrow barns. It has been argued that milk from overstressed cows is also bad for humans.

Perhaps because of her father’s influence, she also agreed with me.

That day, I visited Park Moon-ho’s office.

He was more interested in the things in his hands than me.

“What do you have in your hand?”

“It’s milk.”

“milk?”

“What milk?”

“It’s my own milk.”

“You make your own milk…? No, what does that mean?”

He handed the milk in a glass bottle to Park Moon-ho.

He gestured for a taste.

He tilted his head and drank the bottled milk.

“The savory crab tastes very good.”

It’s a word, but just by looking at the face, I could tell what kind of taste it was.

It’s a pleasurable complaint. It was also the refreshing energy of fresh milk.

Park Moon-ho immediately looked at me intently.

“By the way, did you even set up your own ranch?”

“Yes, I have a ranch.”

“Is that true?”

Park Moon-ho’s eyes widened like a startled rabbit.

“Then, are you not planning to do beekeeping anymore?”

I smiled involuntarily. In Park Moon-ho’s head, there was only bee-bong.

“You don’t do beekeeping. I plan to work even harder.”

“Then I’m relieved…”

He looked into my eyes as if reading a mind.

“I don’t even know what to think. Why are you running a ranch?”

“To sell more honey. Not only local honey, but also Western honey. Maybe we need more western honey.”

Park Moon-ho’s eyes lit up.

“How about selling more Western honey?”

“Now we run a small ranch. It’s a small amount, but it produces milk every day. I plan to make yogurt with that milk.”

“You mean yogurt?”

“you’re right. We plan to make yogurt by fermenting milk.”

“What does selling yogurt have to do with honey?”

Park Moon-ho made a face that he did not know.

“I’m thinking of adding honey to the yogurt.”

“ah!”

A short groan escaped his mouth.

“Good idea. After all, a young man’s head can’t keep up.”

Park Moon-ho said with a chuckle. He took another sip of the milk that was on the table.

“Right now, we are in the prototyping stage. It’s just getting started. The reason I came to the president today is because I have something to discuss before the prototype is completed.”

“It must be about honey.”

“you’re right.”

I came to Park Moon-ho to prepare for the future.

Honey was essential for making yogurt. However, the use of local honey was limited.

Even with all of the local honey in Korea, the quantity was insufficient. there is a limit

If the variety of honey was widened, there was no problem. Rather, it was possible to compose a diverse product group with high-priced and low-priced products.

Beeswax used in candles also worked closely with the Western Bee Society.

The next commodity to seek cooperation after beeswax was honey.

“So I needed someone.”

Park Moon-ho nodded and said.

“When I was asked to recommend someone at the Farming School, I thought there was something planned.”

“Thanks to the president, we have acquired talented people.”

“Leave the honey problem to me.”

“thank you.”

After finishing the job, I left the office. There was a candle school downstairs in his office.

I moved on to the candle school. I’ve been wanting to see my friend’s face for a long time.

I opened the door to Jeong Ga-hee’s office and entered.

“Jung Ga-hee, teacher!”

There was nobody in the office. I walked down the hallway to the classroom.

There was a place to teach, and there were also people making candles.

Jeong Ga-hee was nowhere to be seen.

It wasn’t a holiday. He was not someone who would leave without a word.

I tried calling, but no answer.

Then, like a lie, Jeong Ga-hee appeared in front of me.

It was around the time I got out of the break room with my broken phone.

She was walking down the hallway like a zombie.

His face looked haggard.

“Jung Ga-hee, where have you been? I don’t even answer the phone.”

She looked happy, but her complexion soon turned pale.

“what’s the matter? Are you sick?”

I felt worried.

“no. Nothing.”

“It’s nothing, but your face is as pale as a blank sheet of paper.”

It was the first time I’d seen her like this since I met her. Aren’t you the kind of person who complains when things are hard?

It hurt so much that I couldn’t even speak.

“I have a stomach ache.”

“My stomach?”

Before she could finish speaking, she went back the way she came.

It looked like he was going to the bathroom.

I waited in the break room for a while.

No matter how long I waited, there was no news. I stopped trying to make a call.

It was the moment I was going to text her.

The door to the break room opened, and a familiar face entered.

It was Nam Young.

“Teacher, when did you come?”

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

Namjoon asked with surprised eyes.

“I heard you went to Germany.”

“It’s been a while. I don’t come here often because I have a lot of work to do.”

she held out her hand

“Did you bring a present?”

As I stood still, my eyes turned into disappointment.

“Not really.”

When it comes to being foolish, she’s a girl with no fuss.

“Of course there is a present.”

I handed her the keychain. It was the keychain I bought with the beehive.

It was a bee-shaped keychain.

“Oh, it’s cute.”

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

Namjoon immediately felt better. It was a gift given to colleagues as well.

There was also something I had prepared to give to Jeong Ga-hee.

“By the way, how are you, Mr. Jeong Ga-hee these days?”

“What?”

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

Nam-Young asked while examining the key ring.

“Where are you sick?”

“Kahee, where are you sick?”

The eyes looking at the key ring turned to my eyes.

“Not that. it’s kinda weird I saw him coming out of the bathroom and he looked so pale.”

After saying that, Namahyeong suddenly smiled.

“Why are you laughing?”

asked Namjoon.

“Hasn’t the teacher ever been constipated?”

“no.”

“So you don’t know. The suffering of constipated patients.”

* * *

When I returned to Hadong, Seol Min-ju called me.

“My mother is here.”

It was time for all the other employees to return to their dorms.

Seol Min-ju and her mother Joo Myung-hee were waiting for me.

“Thank you for coming this far.”

I greeted Seol Min-joo’s mother.

“I am very grateful.”

She bowed her head and bowed politely. It was like a person with good manners.

Joo Myung-hee was also a member of the Korea Ranch Research Society.

“I heard the story from Minju. I’m thinking of making yogurt.”

“you’re right. I’m thinking of making ranch yogurt.”

“I don’t know if the yogurt I make will help.”

As soon as her mother finished speaking, Seol Min-ju opened her mouth.

“As I said then, our yogurt is a bit unique. You will have to be prepared.”

“Is the taste something to be prepared for? Hearing that makes me more excited.”

said with a smile.

“It’s really unique.”

Seol Min-joo made an embarrassed expression.

“I made yogurt with milk from this ranch.”

Joo Myung-hee took out a glass bottle. There was yogurt in it. It was like white tofu.

“I don’t know how it tastes. Because we only ate at home.”

It was the yogurt I had only heard of.

I knew about the yogurt she made. As Seol Min-ju said, it was famous for its unique taste.

The cause of the unique taste was lactic acid bacteria.

Joo Myung-hee used makgeolli when making yogurt. It is unknown now, but it was something that would make a big impression in the future.

In particular, it was very popular with constipation patients.

The sound that the constipation had been resolved by eating makgeolli yogurt followed.

Articles about makgeolli yogurt overflowed on the bulletin board related to constipation.

I remember watching it with interest when I was an advertising planner.

“It tastes good. It also has a sour taste. I think it tastes better if you add honey.”
