“What are you doing?”

“No, except for the fact that my clothes are bursting because of you. I have a question.”

“What?”

“I asked if I could get ranch milk.”

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

Milk was essential in cafes that sold coffee.

“Some of the cafe customers sometimes ask. Do lattes contain ranch milk? If you don’t, you’ll be disappointed. I was thinking of adding ranch milk to drinks like coffee.”

He also visited the ranch and drank milk. I remembered admiring how different it was from milk sold in the market.

“These days, more stores are looking for products, so it seems difficult to even supply milk.”

“Is that so?”

It was the face I had been waiting for.

“I have a product that I am planning right now. If you make that product, you will be able to supply milk. Then you will need a lot of milk.”

“Are there any products you are planning? what is that?”

Seo Nam-soo’s face changed. It was a look full of curiosity.

“Milk tea.”

“Milk tea?”

“Why?”

“I don’t feel like it.”

“What do you mean you can’t feel it?”

“I feel like Koreans don’t like it.”

“why?”

“I think Indians and Southeast Asians would think they like it.”

If you think about it, milk tea that did well in Korea was called bubble tea. It was bubble tea with round tapioca grains inside the milk tea.

As he said, if it was a simple milk tea, people might not have paid much attention to it.

“It is still in the planning stage. If I develop a product, I will run to Cafe Friends.”

“Don’t forget to give them milk!”

Returning to the ranch, I asked Seol Kang-in for an interview.

Sweat was glistening on his forehead.

“Did I hear you were looking for me?”

“There is something I want to discuss about sterilized milk.”

“Sterilized milk, where are you going to use it?”

I knew what he meant. In sterilized milk, all good microorganisms are killed in the process of sterilization.

It did not match the dairy products currently produced on the ranch. Especially not suitable for yogurt.

“Not milk for yogurt or ice cream.”

“If not, what?”

“We plan to create a new product. I plan to use it then.”

I briefly told him about my plans for milk tea.

“Well, if it’s milk tea, there’s no problem. Wouldn’t it be better to use ranch milk as it is?”

“As you said, I think ranch milk is better. However, ranch milk has a shorter shelf life than regular milk. Sterile milk has a relatively long shelf life.”

“You are right. This is the biggest advantage of sterilized milk. I knew what it meant.”

“I want to ask you one thing. I know that the taste of sterilized milk changes during the sterilization process.”

“It doesn’t taste any different.”

“I want to keep the original taste as much as possible.”

“Give me time too. We have to do a lot of experiments.”

“Yes, I am not in a hurry right now. Right now, it’s a preparatory process.”

Seolgang believes that sterilized milk can also be upgraded.

It was time to leave the ranch and go home.

“CEO.”

“Mr. Haemi.”

No Hae-mi appeared as if waiting. It was a different feeling than usual. He seemed like someone who couldn’t speak.

“What’s going on? I have a bad face.”

“I have something to tell you.”

“Shall we move?”

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

Noh Hae-mi nodded her head.

We went to the place where the famous scenes of the drama were filmed.

The meadow was dyed with the sunset.

“Say it now.”

She hesitated for a moment. Then he opened his mouth with a face that he had made a decision.

“I want to go on a vacation, is it okay?”

“Are you on vacation?”

“Is there anything wrong with the house?”

“no.”

There was power in his voice. It was a face that the house problem was never a problem.

Taking a vacation wasn’t a big deal. However, I was curious about taking a vacation while learning green tea.

“what happened…? May I know why?”

“Do you remember when you went up to Seoul?”

I went to Seoul when I was struggling with the problem of green tea.

He said he had met someone who knew green tea well.

An adjunct professor with whom I was close when I was in university.

I remembered that the professor had a friend in Taiwan who had a green tea plantation.

“I’m thinking of going to Taiwan for a while.”

“Taiwan?”

“The professor I was talking about at the time said he was going to Taiwan soon. To study Taiwanese green tea, I want to go there together.”

“If that’s the case, I can’t give you a vacation.”

No Hae-mi’s face was bewildered.

“It’s not a vacation, it’s a business trip.”

The stricken face turned into a surprised expression.

“A business trip?”

I was also thinking about going on a business trip to Taiwan.

Bubble tea, a variation of milk tea, originated in Taiwan.

It was a good opportunity to learn know-how related to bubble tea.

“I’d love to hear about the person you go with.”

I never had a chance to ask for detailed information before. I heard that you quit teaching and started working on books.

“This is Professor Jisoo Jang.”

Jisoo Jang, it was a name I had heard somewhere.

“Can I see your picture, too?”

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

Noh Hae-mi pulled out a picture from her diary and showed it. The face was also familiar.

“What are you looking at so closely?”

“What did you say you are doing now?”

“You are writing an essay right now.”

It was then that the face and name came to mind. I saw her in a bookstore. Although it has not yet been published, it has become a bestseller in the essay section.

It was an essay that compared his experiences to teas of various flavors.

“Can I meet the professor in person?”

“Suddenly… may I ask why you are doing this?”

“I want to go on a business trip together.”

business travel companion

The next day, No Hae-mi came to see me.

He opened his mouth saying that he had a phone call with Professor Jang Ji-soo. It was a godly face.

“The professor also said that he wanted to meet the CEO.”

Jisoo Jang became an essay writer while working as a part-time instructor.

As it was a famous bestseller at the time, I had the experience of reading it, even though I was not interested in the essay.

It was a book called ‘Tea to Drink When You’re Depressed’.

The author tells the story of a difficult life in a pleasant way. Different cars appeared in each episode.

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

Not only coffee, but also various types of tea, such as oolong tea and milk tea, were available. Expert knowledge about cars also contributed to its becoming a bestseller.

I also remembered an article that her book got a lot of response and at the same time attracted attention to even a non-mainstream car.

I hoped to go on a business trip to Taiwan with Jisoo Zhang. I thought it was something we could do to help each other.

It was because there were many ups and downs before her book became a bestseller. At first, the publisher did not accept her book, so she had difficulties in self-publishing.

If it leads to a good relationship, I thought I would help her.

An appointment was made with Jisoo Jang. She is now in Yeosu.

It was relatively close to Hadong. We arrived in Yeosu in less than an hour.

Jisoo Jang came to the cafe before us.

It was a quiet place overlooking the sea.

“Haemiya, here you are.”

“professor.”

Jisoo Jang was a person with an easygoing feeling. I felt the energy that puts people at ease.

He seemed to be the same kind of person as Noh Hae-mi.

“You are our representative.”

Haemi Noh introduced me to Jisoo Jang.

“My name is Kim Deok-myung.”

“I’m Jisoo Jang.”

Light conversations came and went before the main topic was said. From the story of a farmer in Jirisan’s internship to the recent wedding in the green tea field, various topics came up.

During the story, Jisoo Jang brought out unexpected words.

“I have always been curious about Mr. Kim Deok-myeong.”

“You’re curious about me, what do you mean?”

“I heard about Mr. Deokmyeong from my father. What a great young farmer.”

“Father?”

I was surprised that her father told me my story.

“Because my father is a beekeeper.”

“May I ask about your father’s respect?”

The name Jang Moon-sik came out of her mouth. It was a name I had never heard of at the Native Bee Association.

“Professor, didn’t you tell me that?”

Noh Hae-mi said with a surprised face.

“I never thought this opportunity would come.”

At Jisoo Jang’s words, No Hae-mi laughed and laughed.

“I heard about the Taiwan case from Haemi. Do you want to go on a business trip with me on my way to Taiwan?”

“I heard a lot from Haemi. You have a lot of interest and knowledge about cars.”

“It’s a personal trip, but it’s a little burdensome because it’s a business trip.”

“I will not interfere with your travels. The professor can follow the original plan. I think of it as a car trip rather than a business trip.”

“Are you traveling for tea?”

“Yes, it’s time to meet the car.”

“It’s a good expression. It’s time to meet the car.”

Jisoo Jang said while touching a glass of chamomile.

“It was unplanned, but I’ll think about it.”

“It saves money, so let’s go together. professor!”

Noh Hae-mi said in a charming tone.

“I’m going with you, so I’ll think in a positive way.”

At Noh Hae-mi’s words, Ji-soo Jang responded with a smile.

Jisoo Jang said that she would make up her mind as soon as possible.

All that remains is to wait for her decision.

* * *

It was not yet decided to go on a business trip to Taiwan, but I had to share it with Han Ki-tak and Baek Min-suk.

Even if she refused to accompany me on this business trip, I was thinking of going to Taiwan someday.

“What happened to Taiwan?”

Han Gi-tak opened his eyes wide and asked. Baek Min-seok looked curious as well.

“I plan to research the milk tea market.”

“By any chance, you’re not talking about bubble tea, are you? A unique drink with tapioca in it.”

“That’s right, I’m thinking of combining milk from the ranch and green tea from Hadong.”

“Are you planning on developing it as a new product?”

“yes. I plan to make it as a new product following green tea yogurt and green tea ice cream.”

“I don’t think this idea is a thing.”

Han Ki-tak was not a blind opponent.

I wondered why he was against it.

“Senior, why do you say no?”

Han Gi-tak thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“There is a person in my acquaintance who just broke down while making bubble tea.”

Bubble tea came to Korea in the early 2000s. Word of mouth circulated among college students for a while, but it did not last long.

It was because the preservatives that soaked in Chinese tapioca were discovered. A number of malignant substances that are harmful to the human body have been discovered.

It wasn’t a popular drink, and when the preservative became a problem, people’s interest in it instantly cooled down.

I didn’t know that Han Ki-tak’s acquaintances had experienced something like that.

“I know. The fact that bubble tea used to be a flashy fad.”

“Then why would you want to try it?”

Han Ki-tak asked with a puzzled look.

“If any of your senior acquaintances have made bubble tea, you might know. That’s why bubble tea went bankrupt.”

“I heard that the preservatives in tapioca were a problem.”

“Yes, Chinese tapioca had preservatives. When that became a problem, all the stores went bankrupt.”

“I wonder why someone who knows so well would do it?”

“I think the marketability was already proven back then. If there is a market, why did it go bankrupt?”

He looked at Han Ki-tak and Baek Min-seok and asked.

“It’s ruined because we used bad ingredients!”

Baek Min-seok opened his eyes and said.

“That’s right, it’s because the food was made with bad ingredients. All ingredients in bubble tea were imported. Oolong tea, black tea, tapioca and even milk.”

“Milk too?”

“I used skim milk.”

“Is nothing right?”

“Yeah, but consumers have responded. Even for products from foreign franchises that have no roots.”

“You mean if the material changes, the perception will change?”

“Yes, I think there is a possibility if we combine milk from the farm, green tea from Hadong, and honey.”

Han Gi-tak was deep in thought.

“What do you think, senior?”

“I admit that there was marketability. Because my acquaintance also said that bubble tea would be great. And I admit that there was a problem with the ingredients, and all the stores he did were made from foreign franchises and made bubble tea.”

“We are going to fix that. You also witnessed with your own eyes that there was marketability at that time.”

“I saw it with my own two eyes.”

Han Gi-tak’s expression brightened now.

After all, it was a strange fad. Bubble tea, which was popular in the early 2000s, became popular again in the late 2000s.

It was when a large Taiwanese franchise entered Korea. At that time, the Internet marketing strategy also played a role in the resurgence of bubble tea.

This was before the fad returned.

“Then, can I go on a business trip to Taiwan?”

“Have a good trip!”

Baek Min-seok exclaimed happily.
