“What’s going on?”

Hae-mi Noh just repeated the words that she had to come and see it.

I ran straight to the ranch.

I was very curious what was going on.

As they entered the kitchen, the two women turned their heads.

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

My gaze turned from the two women onto the table.

It looked different from the sweet potato pearls made during the day.

A golden luster flowed. It looked squishy.

“Try it, representative, too.”

Noh Hae-mi said while pointing to the sweet potato pearl.

I put the sweet potato pearls on the plate in my mouth.

The chewy taste was different. It felt sticky.

“It’s sticky. How did you do it?”

I looked at Seol Min-joo and asked.

“I added a little mung bean starch.”

“Mung bean starch?”

“I added sweet potato starch, glutinous rice flour, and mung bean starch…”

I could still feel the tangy taste in my mouth.

“With a little more research, I think something better than a patio car will come out.”

Seol Min-ju said with a happy face.

Even as it is now, it was much better than the Taiwanese patio pearls.

“Did you even add honey?”

It tasted oddly sweet.

“No, I didn’t add honey.”

“But it tastes sweet.”

“We were excited about it too. It’s probably sweet like sweet potatoes.”

It seemed that the bubble tea of Jirisan farmers would come out soon.

combination of new products

The speed of making sweet potato pearls has increased. I rolled up my arms to help too, but Seol Min-joo blocked it.

“Sir, leave this to us.”

“Are you afraid I won’t be of any help?”

“No, it’s not that the CEO has a lot of other things to do. I know you’re busy with co-op matters. I think if I do this, my energy will be dispersed.”

I could feel Seol Min-joo’s consideration.

“Don’t worry, I’m there too.”

Noh Haemi said with a smile.

“Then I will do my best while you two work hard.”

Before leaving the ranch, we shared some helpful resources.

It was something I recently found.

It was about potato starch. Hope this helps.

It was the moment I was about to deliver the material and go out.

“I’m thinking of making something other than sweet potato pearls. Would it be okay?”

Seol Min-joo asked quietly.

“Are you thinking of anything?”

“I was thinking of trying brown rice, potatoes, and corn as well.”

That was a good idea. It was expected that by making various types of pearls, the variety of products would also increase.

“How about using green tea powder as well?”

“Yeah, I’ll try that too.”

In addition to sweet potato pearls, various pearls could be expected.

Seol Min-joo’s sense exceeded expectations.

It was time to leave the ranch.

Seol Kang-in found me.

“I found you. Do you remember what you asked of me?”

“Yes, I asked the old man for sterilized milk.”

It was sterilized milk for milk tea.

“First of all, there is something that I finished.”

“Already?”

Together with Seolgangin, they moved to a dairy production place. Several workers were producing the product, including Seol Kang-in’s wife, Joo Myung-hee.

Daily fresh dairy products were delivered to local stores.

“This is the sterilized milk I made.”

Seol Kang-in pointed to the milk in the glass bottle.

He poured milk into the cup.

“Let’s taste it.”

It tasted better than expected.

He seemed to read my face too.

“Doesn’t it taste good?”

“That’s right, it’s savory and delicious.”

Because sterilized milk is sterilized at high temperatures, microorganisms die. This has the advantage of having a longer shelf life than regular milk.

However, in general, the disadvantage of sterilized milk is that it tastes worse than low-temperature processed milk. It’s a bit bland.

I asked Seol Kang-in if he could improve that.

“It’s not bland at all!”

“I was a little surprised too. It tastes pretty good.”

“How did you do it?”

“I tried adding some herbs to the feed.”

“Herb?”

“Going to Germany helped.”

It reminded me of his trip to Germany to work on a robotic milking machine.

“At that time, I heard that adding herbs to the feed makes the milk taste much lighter. Robot milking also helped.”

The cows went into the milking machine whenever they wanted to express milk.

The use of a robotic milking machine puts less stress on the cows, he said.

“We will be able to sell ranch milk soon.”

“That sounds nice.”

Seol Kang-in said, revealing her white teeth.

As he said, it was because of the herbal feed or because of the less stressful use of the robot milking machine, the taste was good even though it was sterilized milk.

With this quality, it was worth the fight.

It was the season of ripening. It was also the time to harvest the last honey.

Before entering the office, I visited the apiary.

It seems that he was indifferent to leaving the apiary to his parents.

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

Mother and father were clearing the hive.

“It’s great that you’re coming to the apiary.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t come to the apiary often because I’m busy.”

“Everyone in town knows that you are busy. I said it as a joke.”

Dad said, straightening his back.

“But what do you have in your hand?”

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

Mother asked.

“Bubble tea made with ranch milk and green tea from Hadong.”

“Bubble tea?”

“Try it once.”

I handed bubble tea to my parents.

It was still being tested, but I added Seol Min-ju’s sweet potato pearls.

“Are there any strange grains inside?”

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

My mother said while tasting the sweet potato pearl.

“Does it taste weird?”

I asked carefully.

“It tastes sweet. But what is this?”

It looks like the sweet potato pearl has been chewed.

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

My mother was savoring the sweet potato pearl taste.

“Is this made with sweet potatoes?”

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

Mother asked with a curious look.

“Yes, I made it with sweet potatoes. How are you?”

“The chewy crab is edible in my mouth.”

The mother replied with a smile.

“How is your father?”

As soon as I asked, I burst out laughing. The bubble tea cup was thoroughly emptied.

“Have you already eaten it all?”

“This is worth eating. It’s as reassuring as wheat flour.”

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

My mother laughed out loud, saying it was fun too.

It was a fun time to spend with family.

I looked at the hive and asked my father.

“How about the bees?”

“Bees always work hard. We will be able to see good results this time as well.”

Dad said with a happy expression on his face.

“After the wasps are gone, caring for them has become a lot easier.”

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

My mother looked at the hive and said.

As far as I know, it was thanks to the amber jewels brought from the cave.

After hanging amber jewels in the apiary, the wasps are no longer visible.

At first it only affected my apiary at home. As time passed, the area expanded to the village.

Other farms were able to keep the bees with ease.

“This year, honey farming will be a bountiful year, isn’t it?”

“I think so. Because the hive is full of honey.”

Preparations for the new product were progressing step by step.

Green tea farmers in Hadong were going to unite as a producer association.

From green tea farmers to fruit trees, grains, and vegetables, producers wanted to form solidarity. It was believed that if the farmhouses worked together, they would not be easily destroyed even if difficulties occurred.

It started with a green tea farm.

New products from Jirisan farmers will form a collaboration with Hadong Green Tea Cooperative.

There was a strategy meeting in the office.

I handed out bubble tea prototypes from the ranch to my office colleagues.

Colleagues are satisfied with the taste of pearls made from sweet potatoes.

“I never thought I would make it so quickly.”

Han Ki-tak said with a surprised expression.

“I am still working on it. Maybe there will be pearls made from other ingredients besides sweet potatoes.”

“It’s great, we need to work hard too.”

Han Gi-tak said while looking at his colleagues. At his words, the eyes of his colleagues gleamed.

“Three days later, a meeting was held with the green tea farms in Hadong. This is the position that Im Si-baek prepared.”

“Isn’t that the producer cooperative you mentioned back then?”

“Yes, that’s right. If we have a vision, it will not be difficult to create a cooperative.”

When green tea farmers make a combination, there are many advantages.

You will be able to receive products of uniform quality in the name of the producer cooperative, and you will also be able to receive organic certification in the name of the cooperative. There were a number of advantages because it could give consumers trust through joint promotion and marketing.

“Then what kind of relationship does the Jirisan farmer have to the cooperative? Is it a simple partnership or a consignment sales agency? Or will we become part of the union too?”

Han Ki-tak asked cautiously.

“I think it would be good to unite as one later.”

“If we come together as one, do we have any plans to join the union too?”

“I think it’s good to become a member of a union when the time is right, not right now.”

“When is the right time for the representative to speak?”

“This is the moment when every farmhouse in Hadong becomes a member.”

All my co-workers looked at me in surprise.

“Is that surprising? Last year, I also had the experience of selling fruit from an orchard farm. Green tea farmers are thinking about how to make fruit tree farms a cooperative. The village’s orchard farms received beehives from local farmers in Jirisan. Just like the green tea farmers who got their goats from the farmers in Jirisan.”

Everyone nodded at that.

“Does that mean that the cooperatives formed one by one and the cooperatives formed later and the farmers in Jirisan become one?”

“Okay, what do you guys think?”

I made eye contact with my colleagues.

I wondered what their thoughts were.

“I think it’s good to work together. Before that, you will need a strategy to sell products from green tea farms.”

Baek Min-seok said with his eyes twinkling.

“I am also in favor of having an organization on a regional basis. And I think not belonging to any one organization right now is a good strategy.”

Han Gi-tak said with a serious face.

Other colleagues also expressed their consent.

I didn’t just ask my co-workers in the office.

I consulted with my colleagues at the ranch and my parents at the apiary.

Everyone agreed on the big picture.

Of course, it had to be a good start.

“When it comes to co-operatives, we share the same meaning. Then we will start the meeting in earnest.”

There were two agendas.

It was a strategy to sell new products made by farmers in Jirisan and a strategy to sell products from green tea farms.

Green tea was also included in the new product, but the approach was different.

It was a unique product made by farmers in Jirisan.

I had to think differently from green tea farmers.

“The idea is to sell farmhouse products online.”

Several opinions came and went.

From the idea of using the wedding event again to the idea of selling green tea fields like a weekend farm.

I didn’t get the idea I wanted.

I asked Baek Min-seok.

“Did you get e-mail addresses from those who applied for the green tea field wedding?”

“Yes, I got them all.”

Baek Min-seok exchanged glances with Cheon Hee-seok from the same team.

Cheon Hee-seok nodded as if there was no problem.

“Can I write a program to send mail in bulk?”

“Bulk mail?”

Baek Min-seok and Cheon Hee-seok reacted at the same time.

It was 2007, and email marketing wasn’t very active.

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

Naturally, there was no program to send mail in bulk.

E-mail marketing is not just about sending a lot of mail.

It should be possible to send images and texts to promote the product to the group.

“It is a program that sends advertisement emails to multiple recipients. It can be seen as a kind of marketing program.”

“It’s a mass mailing program…”

Baek Min-seok, who had been thinking for a moment, blinked his eyes.

“You can think of it as a kind of Internet flyer.”

“That’s right, you can see it as a flyer. What I want is a magazine concept rather than a flyer. I think it would be good to think of it as advertising in a magazine.”

“It will take some time, but I think it can be done. Unless you put too many features.”
