A Returning Genius Farmer Grows Money Indefinitely

“Hadong?”

Han Ki-tak and Baek Min-seok shouted at the same time.

It was a symbolic store.

There was a desire to become a local specialty.

“Will people come to Hadong for bubble tea?”

Baek Min-seok tilted his head and asked.

He also had a face that said he was thinking about Hadong.

“I thought it would be nice to be in Hadong too. All tea farms are in Hadong, and our ranch is also in Hadong. Busan has our products in it, so I was kind of intrigued by it.”

Han Gi-tak looked at me and said.

“Is there any place you thought of in Hadong?”

“yes I have it.”

“where are you?”

“Hwagae Market!”

The Hwagae Market was a symbolic place in Hadong.

In the future, all festivals related to the region will be held around the Hwagae Market. It was also a project that local governments put a lot of effort into.

It was a good opportunity for the farmers of Jirisan to make it together.

It would be possible to create synergy by opening a store for farmers in Jirisan in the Hwagae Market.

the beginning of the festival

I called Jisoo Jang, who was with me on a business trip to Taiwan.

She was living in Yeosu, where her hometown is.

When I said that I would like to discuss the essay issue that I talked about in Taiwan, I readily agreed.

We decided to meet at a cafe in Yeosu, where we first met.

“how are you?”

“Thank you, I had a great time.”

“Is the book going well?”

“We still have a long way to go.”

Jisoo Jang smiled and said. His expression brightened.

“But what do you want to ask of me?”

“I want to entrust the work to Ji-soo Jang, not a request.”

“Is it work?”

“Yes, I would like to commission an essay for green tea farmers.”

“Essays from green tea farmers?”

I told her that Hadong green tea farmers would form a cooperative.

The farmers in Jirisan, where I belong, also revealed that they plan to sell their products online.

“Are the stories of green tea farmers related to green tea sales?”

Jisoo Jang had a face that she did not know about the relationship.

“That is our sales strategy.”

“Is an essay a sales strategy? Will people read the book?”

“It is not a book.”

“Isn’t this a book?”

“It’s a kind of webzine.”

A webzine is a magazine that is distributed over the Internet without being published.

“If it’s a webzine, you can view it for free through the Internet.”

“Yes, you can watch it for free over the internet.”

“I still don’t understand. How does that relate to sales?”

It was a natural story. Webzine alone could not achieve the effect of advertising.

“I plan to send a webzine every week. Through mail.”

“Are you talking about e-mail?”

“Yes, it’s an email.”

“Can you email the magazine?”

“You can send it. It is being developed now.”

“Now I understand. If we can give people information like that, it will also help sales.”

“If I had only tried to convey information, I would not have met Jisoo.”

“What do you mean?”

“I hope you find the story behind the farmhouse. Of course, information cannot be omitted. Stories that were not seen because they were trivial.”

“Can I find such a story?”

That was Jang Ji-soo’s ability. It was no coincidence that she later became a best-selling author.

He had the ability to bring out meaningful writing even in the calmness of everyday life.

“I think Jisoo Jang is the right person.

“Isn’t that a bit too much?”

“I was just speaking frankly. And this is a contract related to this.”

I took out the prepared documents.

She looked at the documents meticulously.

“Under these conditions, we can also recruit well-known writers.”

She looked surprised.

I had a lot of experience working with freelancers when I was an advertising designer. It was also my responsibility to set the cost.

Proper compensation increases work efficiency.

The cost of the interview, including the manuscript fee, was set separately. It was a contract written with Han Gi-tak.

“I will do my best.”

Jisoo Jang promised to work together.

“Then when will you start working?”

“The sooner the better. Once the cooperative is formed and the product is available, sales will begin.”

The finished tea leaves were piled up in the farmhouse. If a cooperative was created and packaged in the name of the cooperative, it could be sold.

“Then we will start tomorrow. There are things to prepare before the interview.”

“That’s right.”

“I will ask you one last question. Can I write anything other than an interview with a farmer and a story about tea?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I think it would be good to talk about historical facts about tea and health related stories.”

“Okay, because rich stories keep people curious.”

Before entering the office, I stopped at the apiary first. It was the day I decided to pick honey with my parents.

“Is your son here?”

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

My mother greeted me with a smile.

“It’s been a while since we worked together.”

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

My father said as he put on his boots.

It was time to change clothes. I saw people coming to the apiary.

They were office workers, including Gi-tak Han.

“The representative came first.”

Han Ki-tak said with a cheerful face.

“How did you get out of the office?”

I didn’t tell my colleagues. I was thinking of going back after quietly helping.

“Is there a law requiring us to be in the office every day? These are people whose main occupation is farming, aren’t they?”

Han Gi-tak looked at his colleagues and asked.

“Absolutely. Sitting in the office every day was making my moth ache. The ranch team works on the ranch, but we sit in the office every day.”

Everyone laughed at Park Tae-ho’s words from the management support team.

“Except for Team Leader Baek Min-seok, everyone in the office came. There must be one left in the office.”

If there was only one left, Min-seok Baek would have to remain. He was in charge of selling through the Internet.

“He said that Team Leader Baek also wanted to come out.”

Cheon Hee-seok of the shopping mall management team said.

“Let’s start with work. I change my clothes.”

Han Gi-tak told the people. Everyone has experience dealing with bees.

The more people gathered, the easier it was to collect honey.

The parents also filled the bottle with honey with a happy expression.

The bees were also quiet today. We left food for the bees and harvested honey.

Office team members hummed to work.

“After all, I must be a farmer.”

Everyone burst into laughter at Han Gi-tak’s words.

Because his work speed was the slowest.

“Eat it and eat it!”

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

My mother came out to the apiary with a basket. The basket was full of roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes. It was also accompanied by a cool crystal.

“Dried persimmons in Sujeonggwa were cultivated this year?”

Han Ki-tak asked his mother.

“That’s right, it’s dried persimmons earlier this year.”

“It tastes really good because it’s aged.”

As he said, the crystal and the dried persimmon inside were delicious. It was a taste of exhaustion.

“I’m looking forward to this year’s dried persimmons as well.”

Park Tae-ho of the management support team said while looking at the persimmon tree in the distance.

After the beekeeping, dried persimmon farming was waiting.

“We’ll do the rest, so you guys go back.”

the father said

“No, I have to do it all.”

“It is enough to help. You guys must be busy too, so go ahead and go to work.”

As his father said, each had their own business to deal with.

We prepared to go back to the office.

Han Gi-tak sent the team members back first.

“why? Are you going to work more?”

I asked as the team members saw the car leaving.

“The two of you have a story to tell.”

Just by looking at his face, he seemed to know what he was talking about.

“It’s our store problem.”

“why? Are you not happy with opening a store in the Hwagae Market?”

“When I think about it again, I have a feeling it would be good.”

“I’m glad that seniors think so too.”

“I knew it once. Is there a place for a store near the Hwagae Market?”

“Have you ever been to a good place?”

“The more I know, the more I feel it won’t be easy. I just wanted to ask you Because I don’t think you vaguely talked about the Hwagae Market. Have you ever seen a place?”

Han Ki-tak asked cautiously.

“There is one place I have looked at.”

“where are you?”

“Hadong Gallery.”

“Hadong Gallery? Are you talking about that… art gallery?”

“It used to be an art gallery. It is now abandoned.”

The building was owned by a local government.

In the past, it was used as an art museum, but now it is in a state of neglect.

It was a gallery built with the purpose of providing exhibition opportunities to local artists.

In the beginning, with support from the pavilion, several exhibitions were held and it seemed to become a local attraction. As time passed, the support faded, and no one wanted to exhibit the work, and the museum was temporarily closed as only the maintenance fee was incurred.

It was neglected, but it was well maintained.

The size was just right and it was close to the Hwagae Market.

I thought it was the best place to run the store.

“What do you think, senior?”

“I never thought of using the Hadong Gallery as our store.”

“Do you think it’s bad?”

“No, I think it’s the best scenario. But since it is a military-run place, there must be a lot of mountains to overcome, right?”

It was not a privately owned building.

The building was owned by the municipality.

With the general approach, it was impossible to open a burial there.

“Senior, did you say that you have close friends among public officials?”

Han Gi-tak was in charge of administrative work related to the farmers in Mt. Jirisan. I used to go to government offices a lot.

He said that he became close with many people because of his easygoing personality.

“I have one close officer.”

“Can the public officials in charge of the Hadong Gallery know?”

“It won’t be difficult to find out.”

“Can you find out first?”

“Do you have any ideas on how to do it?”

“there is.”

“Tell me. How?”

Han Ki-tak asked, blinking his eyes.

“Before I tell you, I have a place to go with you.”

“Where is it?”

“Our candle workshop.”

“Candle workshop? What does that have to do with burial there?”

“There is something I want to ask the grandmothers.”

At Xiamun Elementary School, there was a candle workshop for farmers in Jirisan.

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

Most of the workers were local grandmothers.

There, candles were made from beeswax obtained from beekeeping.

At first, it was called a factory, but recently it has been acclimatized to a workshop.

Since all of the work was done by hand, the term “workshop” was more appropriate.

It’s been a long time since I found a candle workshop.

Grandmothers greeted us with a friendly face.

“Deokmyung has come. how much is this I almost forgot my face.”

“I’m sorry, I haven’t been able to see you often.”

“It’s good for young people to be busy.”

“How about taking a break for a while?”

“It’s fine with us.”

The grandmothers responded as if waiting. The grandmothers who were making wax candles gathered in the common room.

I unpacked sweets and snacks.

“There is plenty to eat.”

The grandmothers said they enjoyed their rest and ate the sweets in a pleasant way.

“eat a lot.”

“But what made you come here today?”

Kim Kkom-nim, who was eating the cookies, asked.

“It’s obvious why Deokmyeong came.”

One of the grandmothers looked at me and said,

“You are doing this to get us to work. Dried persimmon season is coming soon.”

Everyone smiled and nodded at Grandma’s words.

“If anyone hears it, they will think it’s a bad business owner.”

At my words, the grandmothers laughed as if they were having fun.

“The reason I came to the grandmothers today is because there is one thing I want to ask you.”

“Ask me anything.”

“I was wondering if any of the grandmothers could make traditional sweets.”
