“Before we talk, I have a question for you.”

“You tell me.”

“Why is it me? There must be experts in Boseong.”

“Because the teacher handles all the cars.”

I answered without hesitation.

There are many different types of tea as we know it. According to the processing method, it is most commonly classified into six types: white tea, green tea, yellow tea, oolong tea (green tea), black tea, and black tea. It is characteristic that the color of tea is brewed differently depending on the degree of fermentation. A single tea leaf could be used to make various types of tea.

Im Si-baek is a person who has worked hard to upgrade the car. He was also a master of tea making various types of tea.

“That’s right, you are right. No one in Korea makes as many different types of tea as I do.”

I took a sip of tea. The sweet scent of tea cleared my head.

“As I said before, I didn’t call you to tell you that I am going to make you a disciple right now. So, don’t drink kimchi soup first.”

I wondered what you were trying to say.

“I heard that you helped a local farmer. Selling damaged fruit from the orchard and telling the local farmer that you helped whenever there was a hardship.”

“We just found a breakthrough together.”

“Do you know what kind of things the tea farmers are going through?”

“I know.”

Im Si-baek brought up the pesticide crisis as a hot topic.

I also heard the story from Lim Hwa-soo.

Hadong Green Garden also said that it was not free from the pesticide wave.

“You said you wanted to make a product that young people would like using green tea. But, things are not right now. The young people, let alone the tea farmers, are on the verge of dying.”

While waiting for his call, he was thinking about how to save the tea farmhouse.

“If you suggest a way to save a farmer struggling with pesticides, I’m willing to help.”

“Are you saying that if you solve the problem, you will accept me as the teacher’s disciple?”

“That’s right, the fact that I have no intention of passing on the family business to anyone has not changed since then. But if you can figure out a way to save the tea farm, that’s a different matter.”

“According to the teacher’s words, I will find a solution to the problem.”

“Are you sure?”

“The problems that are happening right now cannot be solved. But I am confident that this will never happen again.”

“I look forward to it.”

He raised his head and exchanged glances with him.

A light gleamed from the white man’s eyes.

I didn’t think that Hwa-soo Lim’s persuasion alone would solve the problem.

As Im Si-baek said, it was passed down from generation to generation.

Big or small, I guessed that homework would follow.

I was preparing for it.

It was somewhat expected.

Now all that remains is to solve the problem.

The watchman in the green tea field

Every farmhouse that grows crops goes to war with weeds every year.

The more fertilizer you give, the more weeds will grow. Weeds also take away the energy of fertilizer.

In the worst case, it can even be attacked by pests.

The same goes for tea-growing farms. Tea trees are short and require a lot of effort in many ways, such as removing weeds. This is why herbicides are used in green tea fields.

There are many crops that use herbicides. But if it’s a car, the problem is different.

Tea is not washed or cut like fruit. Drink the tea leaves as they are.

He enjoyed various green tea products because it was good for health, but he sprayed pesticides on the tea trees that eat the leaves as they are.

This is because consumers are ignoring the pesticide green tea. It has also had an impact on farms that already farm only organic tea.

As an advertising planner, I had experience in marketing organic agricultural products. Among them was green tea.

It was possible to grow green tea without using herbicides. It was not a simple eco-friendly farming method.

It was a method of removing weeds and pests using animals.

After many attempts, I heard that it was a successful case.

Of course, this is a new technique that is not currently used.

The idea was conceived years after the pesticide wave.

It was the moment to apply eco-friendly farming methods using animals to Hadong. It was an opportunity to remove the stigma of pesticide green tea.

There was something I had to do before I started working.

* * *

I didn’t expect the clues to solve the homework would be so close.

I heard it from Noh Hae-mi on the way down after meeting Master Yeonhwa. My father said he was raising goats.

The animal needed for the eco-friendly green tea field was the goat.

Unlike goats, whose entire body is covered with black fur, goats are characterized by several spots of white and gray fur.

The reason why eco-friendly farming using goats is possible is because of the unique characteristics of goats.

Goats like grass, like all herbivores. They especially like the newly grown grass. It is said that they are particularly fond of eating ragweed, mugwort, and arrowroot.

When goats were released in green tea fields, weeds could be removed without the use of herbicides.

When I heard the story, I was skeptical at first. It was because he thought that the goats would eat all the leaves of the green tea field.

When I was a child, I saw a goat devouring all the crops in the field.

I thought goats would have similar habits as goats, but strangely, goats do not eat green tea leaves. They say they don’t like the bitter taste of green tea.

They are very careful and do not harm the fields, so they were essential animals for tea gardens.

He explained the situation to Noh Hae-mi and asked him to meet his father.

It was a burden at first to speak out. Because I was told that she had no contact with her father.

It was just a rainstorm.

Noh Hae-mi readily agreed. He said that he communicates with his father often these days.

After the birthday, it is said that the relationship between the father and daughter has become as comfortable as before.

She looked excited, probably because she was thinking of seeing her father after a long time.

Prepared green tea leaves and moved to Hamyang.

There was a goat ranch of Noh Kyung-sik.

“I recently heard that green tea farmers are struggling.”

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

No Hae-mi looked at my face and said.

“Anyone who has ever farmed would understand.”

“What?”

“Why did you use herbicide?”

“Farming is a war against weeds.”

“The goats eat all the grass.”

I said with a smile.

“When I first heard that from the CEO, I couldn’t believe it.”

“What did you not believe?”

“The goats don’t eat tea leaves.”

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

Noh Hae-mi was still in disbelief.

“It is true that goats are more docile than goats. If goats were outlaws, goats would be angels. It’s gentle like a sheep. But I really like grass. What if you love green tea leaves too?”

“Are you worried that you won’t be able to complete the homework given by Im Si-baek?”

“A little. I think it’s because I grew up watching goats from a young age. I’ve never seen grass that goats can’t eat.”

“You’ll find out when you check it out.”

I told her about the homework teacher Im Si-baek had given her.

About finding a way to save tea farmers who are struggling with the pesticide crisis.

He said the answer lies in the goats his father is raising.

At first, he looked bewildered.

Now it is a face of half worry and half anticipation.

lightly changed the subject.

“Haemi, have you been to Seoul recently?”

“yes.”

When the story of Seoul came out, his face turned red.

“Is it data research? How is it?”

I didn’t have time to ask because of something else.

“I’m here to meet someone.”

“Oh, who did you meet?”

“He is an outpatient professor I knew when I was in college. You are a car savvy person. There was something I wanted to ask you in person.”

“I did”

“I went to Taiwan to study abroad. It reminds me of the saying that some of my Taiwanese friends are tea farmers.”

“Taiwan?”

The word “Taiwan” caught my ears.

“Yes, Taiwan. When I asked, it really was. He is a green tea planter in Taiwan. He said that he was a friend he met while studying abroad, and he is still in contact with me.”

“Then maybe I should go to Taiwan sometime.”

“You said that you go to Taiwan once a year. You are planning to go again this year.”

“okay.”

“Because I said I was going to start a tea plantation, he told me to tell me whenever I needed help. I can introduce you to my Taiwanese friends.”

“Is that professor still teaching at school?”

“Now stop teaching and work as an essay writer.”

“That’s fine. Maybe one day, if there is a chance, we can go to Taiwan together.”

“Really?”

Noh Hae-mi made a surprised expression. It was a face that he had never even thought of going to Taiwan.

* * *

Arrived in Hamyang I saw a placard saying welcome to Noh Kyung-sik’s goat ranch.

As we climbed the hillside, a pasture appeared.

“It’s a little further away and it’s our house.”

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

Noh Haemi said with an excited face.

It was the first time in my father’s house since becoming a farmer in Jirisan.

A man in a wide-brimmed hat was waiting for us at the entrance to the ranch.

“Haemiya!”

It was old-fashioned

It was the impression of being stubborn. When she smiled at her daughter, the stubborn impression disappeared.

A face as good as a sheep was revealed.

“how have you been doing?”

“How are you, Dad?”

“It’s me, how have you been? But is this what you said?”

“Nice to meet you. This is Kim Deok-myung.”

“It’s called Noh Kyung-sik.”

We said goodbye and went inside. On the way in, I ran into some people working on the ranch.

It was a fairly large ranch.

“I heard that you farm in Hadong.”

“Yes, we are farming together with young people.”

“I don’t know if Haemi heard it, but honestly, I was against it. Because I know that farming is not easy.”

“Dad says everything to the CEO.”

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

No Hae-mi interrupted while pouring drinks.

“I fully understand your heart. I know that farming is difficult.”

“I heard from Haemi, do you need a goat?”

“Yes, I came here because I wanted to get a goat from my father.”

“I heard that you run a dairy cattle ranch in Hadong. I’ve heard it’s quite large, so I’m curious as to why you need a goat?”

“There is something new to prepare. I’m thinking of growing green tea.”

“Green tea? What is the relationship between goats and green tea?”

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

Noh Kyung-sik made a curious expression.

He told Noh Hae-mi that he would tell the details after meeting his father.

I unraveled the story one by one.

He talked in detail from the recent pesticide scandal to organic techniques using goats.

“It’s a fun idea. Using goats as watchmen in the green tea field.”

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

Noh Kyung-sik’s eyes lit up with questions resolved.

“Does your father even know?”

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

Noh Hae-mi looked at Noh Kyung-sik and asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Is it true that goats hate tea leaves?”

“Well, all I know is that goats love their food.”

“Well, Dad is right. I wouldn’t have even had a chance to feed them green tea.”

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

Noh Hae-mi’s gaze shifted to me.

“I have no choice but to check it out myself.”

she told me

“Yes, as Haemi said, I have no choice but to check it myself.”

I went to the goat pen to check the feeding habits of the goats with Noh Kyung-sik. I tried tossing a handful of tea leaves from Hadong. I wondered if I could smell the cum cum, then I turned my head and put my mouth to the hay I usually ate.

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

Noh Kyung-sik smiled haphazardly.

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

Noh Hae-mi also burst into laughter.

I also felt relieved and relaxed.

At that time, Noh Kyung-sik spoke with a thoughtful face.

“I am supplying goat milk to nearby co-ops. We do not feed goats with antibiotics.”

“I have heard from Haemi. What kind of heart is your father raising goats?”

“It is not difficult to sell goats. If you promise not to mistreat the goats.”

“of course. There is something I want to tell you about that. If it is proven that goats can help grow green tea, I would like to form a strategic alliance with ‘Nogyeongsik Ranch’.”

“A strategic alliance with me?”

“Like you said, handling goats is the domain of experts. I would like to know not only how to buy goats, but also how to manage and care for them. It would be good if training was conducted on a regular basis along with the sale. Of course, you will have to pay for it.”

“Well, there’s nothing wrong with me if I do that.”

Thankfully, Noh Kyung-sik willingly offered to sell the goats. Negotiations were carried out smoothly.

It was not a problem that could be solved by unconditionally acquiring goats.

The management of the goats had to be done at the same time. It was also helpful to the ranch if done well.

In addition to milk from cows, goat milk can also be produced.

Before leaving Noh Kyung-sik’s ranch, I had time alone with him.

Haemi Noh went to the ranch to see the new chickens and ducks.

“Do you have anything more to say?”

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

Noh Kyung-sik asked with a curious face.

“I want to tell you the story of how we started green tea business. It was all thanks to Haemi that started this work.”

“It’s our Haemi-duk, what do you mean?”

I told the story of Jirisan farmers at a new business item presentation.

Among them, Haemi’s idea was chosen as the highest score.

“Ah, that’s what happened. I don’t think I’ve heard of such an interesting story for Haemi.”

“If it wasn’t for Haemi, I wouldn’t have thought of it.”

“I am proud that our Haemi thought that way. I am suddenly embarrassed to say that I did not even know that I liked it so much, heh heh.”

“I think Haemi will become a figure who will lead Korea’s agriculture.”

“As a father, I feel really good because the CEO acknowledges me like that. I wish you all the best in the future.”

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

Noh Kyung-sik replied with a smile.

It was something I thought about while talking to Haemi Noh while I was visiting Jijangsa Temple.

If I met Noh Hae-mi’s father, I wanted to tell her about her daughter’s capabilities and potential.

* * *

He received 10 goats from Noh Kyung-sik.

He personally visited the ranch and taught him how to handle goats.

The people of the ranch, including Seol Kang-in, looked at the goat with a curious expression.

It was the moment when the lecture was over and Noh Kyung-sik was about to return.

“Senior, may I ask you one more favor?”
