A Returning Genius Farmer Grows Money Indefinitely

“snack? Are you talking about these sweets we eat now?”

“Yes, but traditional sweets. It’s like the medicine that Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother makes.”

I looked at Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother and said.

“If that’s the case, would it be Jocheong Yugwa?”

said one of the grandmothers.

“Yes, Jocheong Yugwa is also good.”

“If that’s the case, I’m confident. My grandson only looks for Jocheong Yugwa that I made.”

It was Im Soon-ye, a grandmother who was a mood maker during the dried persimmon farming.

After that, various traditional sweets popped out like candy one after another.

Various kinds of traditional sweets from red bean yanggaeng and jeonbyeong to traditional sweets came out of the grandmother’s mouth.

“Wow, are you asking all these things? What else are you going to make?”

Lim Soon-ye’s grandmother asked with a curious face.

The other grandmothers who spoke with excitement had the same expression.

“I want to make traditional sweets with my grandmothers.”

“Then why don’t you make more beeswax candles?”

“We have to keep making beeswax candles. Do you remember the wedding we had in the green tea field?”

“I remember, it was so much fun back then.”

“Even then, everyone came out to help.”

The grandmothers nodded with faces reminiscent of old picnics.

At that time, the grandmothers helped with the food for the reception.

The pizza made by Seol Min-ju was also popular, but the dishes made by the grandmothers were also well-received.

The cooking skills of the grandmothers were at a level that did not need to be verified.

“Then, is there another wedding?”

“You can think of it like that.”

“Whatever it is, I can help.”

All the grandmothers expressed their positive intentions with pleasant faces.

“Well sir. I will tell you later when I need help.”

I left after talking with the grandmothers at the candle workshop.

Han Ki-tak looked at me with an expression that he did not understand English.

“What are you going to do with traditional sweets? What does that have to do with getting a store?”

he asked, tilting his head.

“I would like to propose a green tea dessert festival to the local government.”

“Green Tea Dessert Festival?”

“Yes, it is our snack that we eat with green tea. We will also try to figure out how to use the Hadong Gallery in the process of proposing the festival.”

It was planned to propose a festival and rent the building.

It was also a way to revive the Hadong Gallery, which had lost its exhibition function.

It will be reborn as a space for tea and refreshments.

It was also the first offline store for farmers in Jirisan.

interview with the governor

Jisoo Jang started the coverage of green tea farms as scheduled.

Green tea farmers were all notified.

He said the honest stories of the farmers will be passed on to the consumers.

Jisoo Jang was able to conduct the interview comfortably.

The beginning was the tea garden of Imim Baek.

Im Sibaek took pride in producing green tea from generation to generation.

What she noticed was the old photos. Photos from the time of the ancestors.

She recorded the story behind the photos.

He also showed interest in photography when visiting other farmhouses. Not all farmhouses were farming from generation to generation like Imim Baek, but each had a story of how they started farming.

She stared for a long time at the picture she took with her baby in the green tea field.

A young woman was holding a small child.

“You were very beautiful when you were young.”

“No, say everything.”

The farmer’s wife said with a shy face.

Jisoo Jang asked about various things she had experienced while working on the farm. The stories of the farmers were recorded one by one.

During the interview, I got a call from Kim Deok-myeong.

He said there was something to discuss about the design.

Jirisan Jang arrived at the farmers’ offices in Jirisan.

The shopping mall management team was checking the server.

He guided Jang Ji-soo to the conference room.

“You came quickly. Could you please wait a minute?”

I made bubble tea and went into the conference room.

“Isn’t this bubble tea?”

Jisoo Jang asked with surprised eyes.

“Yes, it is bubble tea that we developed ourselves. Try it.”

Jisoo Jang looked surprised at the taste of bubble tea.

“Isn’t that tapioca pearls inside?”

“Yes, it is a Korean-style pearl.”

“What are the ingredients?”

Jisoo Jang asked while chewing the granules in the bubble tea.

“It’s sweet potato pearl.”

“It’s fun, making pearls from sweet potatoes. Is the chewy taste better than tapioca?”

“I’m glad it tastes good. How’s your research? If you have any difficulties, please tell me.”

“Everyone cooperated so well, so I feel comfortable doing the interview. But what is that?”

Jisoo Jang looked at what was written on the whiteboard and asked.

It was written that the Hadong Gallery would become the first store.

“Are you thinking of opening a store? You mentioned that you sell cooperative products over the Internet, right? Did I know that?”

She didn’t tell her about plans to open a store.

“I would like to open a store near the Hwagae Market.”

“Hwagae Market?”

“Yes, we are planning to open our store in the Hwagae Market.”

“By the way, it looks like you are opening a store in the gallery. It says that they will open a store in Hadong Gallery.”

“It is a gallery that is not in use now.”

“It’s a fun idea. A gallery becomes a store.”

“This is a place owned by Hadong-gun, so it is possible only with the military’s permission. We will meet with the person concerned soon.”

“Oh, I see. I hope the story goes well. If public buildings are used well, it would be helpful to the military as well…”

She looked carefully at what was written on the whiteboard.

“Can I come up with an idea?”

“Ideas? Please tell me anything.”

“I felt it while covering the stories of the farmers, and the photos were impressive. How about displaying those photos in the store? With tea produced by the farmers themselves.”

The idea of opening an exhibition was also one of the agenda of the meeting. But we decided to pay more attention to the product.

I had no intention of exhibiting photos of the farmers’ personal stories.

It was an idea that could come out because I had visited and reported on farms.

“It’s a good idea because it’s the photos of the farmers and the products they made themselves. I think it would be better if Jisoo’s coverage was included in that.”

“I think so.”

Jisoo Jang smiled and said.

At that time, Cheon Hee-seok from the shopping mall management team came into the conference room.

“Server maintenance is over.”

We discussed webzine design with Jisoo Jang. She suggested taking pictures of the farmhouses.

The shopping mall management team also accepted her proposal. As soon as her writings and photos were put together, they were able to do email marketing.

I visited Hadong County Office with Han Ki-tak.

There were documents in the bag.

It was a document containing a plan to renovate the Green Tea Dessert Festival and the Hadong Gallery.

Han Ki-tak asked a close public official to make an appointment.

The person we met was Manager Park Dong-gyu.

He was in charge of cultural tourism in Hadong.

“I heard a lot. My name is Park Dong-gyu.”

He was an impressive man with white hair.

“People often misunderstand my age because of my hair.”

He said as he ruffled his white hair.

“I heard you have a suggestion. Can I have a look at the document?”

I handed him the document. He put on his glasses and studied the contents meticulously.

“We are holding a green tea dessert festival centered on the Hwagae Market. There is also a green tea field trekking and lots of fun ideas.”

These were ideas from the meeting.

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

Not only traditional sweets that go well with green tea, but also trekking in green tea fields and making bubble tea. We have prepared a variety of events that can be enjoyed together with local governments.

“But what about bubble tea?”

“It is a drink made with green tea from Hadong. It is also a new product made by farmers in Jirisan.”

Han Gi-tak took out a glass bottle from his bag. It was prepared bubble tea.

“Let’s have a drink. You must drink it through a straw.”

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

Manager Park Dong-gyu tasted bubble tea.

“It tastes good. Chewy granules are fun too.”

he said with a cheerful expression.

“I heard that green tea farmers are forming cooperatives.”

He put down the bubble tea and said.

“I heard that Jirisan farmers decided to sell green tea farm products instead. How is it going?”

“I plan to.”

“I think it’s great that young people do such a thing.”

“No, it is natural. Farming cannot be done alone.”

“Actually… I also attended a green tea field wedding.”

I didn’t expect that Director Dong-gyu Park, a military official, would attend the wedding ceremony in the green tea field.

It turned out that things were going to be easier than I thought.

“Honestly, I was a little embarrassed. It was because the public officials in charge of local culture and tourism were doing their job.”

He pulled something out of a briefcase. It was photos.

“These are the pictures I took back then.”

These were photos taken with a green tea field wedding in the background.

There was also a picture taken with a ranch, a reception hall as the background.

“I didn’t even know you came. thank you.”

“It was a really impressive scene. It was also helpful for farmers who are struggling with the pesticide crisis.”

“The Green Tea Dessert Festival is something I want to try in that context.”

“I completely agree with that part.”

Han Ki-tak, who had been silent at that time, opened his mouth.

“I think festivals are something that needs review and discussion. Will you need time to make a decision?”

“As you said, festival-related work involves several processes, from setting a budget. It will take some time.”

“How about opening the Hadong Gallery before the festival?”

He seemed to know what Ki-tak Han meant.

The festival meant that we wanted to open the store as quickly as possible, even if it took time.

I also sympathized.

“In the near future, we plan to sell the products of the cooperative through the Internet. Having a store would help sales.”

“I think it will help sales. Can you tell me why I want to use Hadong Gallery?”

Park Dong-gyu’s gaze was fixed on me.

“I want to create a symbolic store in Hadong. As the manager knows, it is not easy to open a store in the countryside. In particular, it is not common to open a store in a local commercial area with a long history. It’s not a problem that can be solved with just money like in a city.”

“That’s right. Opening a store in the countryside is not a break.”

“We are farming based in Hadong. I thought that Hwagae Market would be a good place to open a store. This is because it is a space of harmony between regions and a tourist attraction along the Seomjin River.”

“Like the saying, it is a symbolic space in Hadong.”

“Actually, I did a survey on the Hwagae Market and the surrounding area, but there was no suitable place. Then I saw the Hadong Gallery. It’s a well equipped place, but it’s a pity that I can’t use it. I wanted to make good use of it.”

“After hearing the story, I know what it means. As mentioned above, the Hadong Gallery is temporarily closed. It’s not my department, but I’ve heard there’s a discussion going on about what to do.”

“Hadong will be different if we go there. It will help other farmers, including green tea farmers.”

“I am well aware of the feelings of the farmers in Jirisan. I know that the wedding ceremony in the green tea field was also sponsored by the farmers of Jirisan.”

Park Dong-gyu was very kind to us.

Han Gi-tak and I were able to leave the military office in a good mood.

“Manager Dong-gyu Park, you seem like a very nice person.”

Han Ki-tak said with a smile.

“I didn’t know you were attending the green tea field wedding.”

“I mean, do you think there will be any good news soon?”

“Yes, I think there is good news.”

* * *

Park Dong-gyu was a character who ran without hesitation when he set a goal.

First, I submitted the documents related to the festival above.

The title has been modified to fit the style, and information about the farmers in Mt. Jiri has been separately organized.

I added a few more materials to the material provided by Kim Deok-myung. It was the best he could do.

After completing the paperwork related to the festival, he delivered the documents to the Facility Management Department regarding the rental of the Hadong Gallery.

It was a document related to the Hadong Gallery rental business. Not everyone could be like him.

The response from the facility management department was not cool. I even met the person in charge in person because I was frustrated.

The person in charge replied that it was not under his jurisdiction. I was told that if I wanted to give a lease like that, I had to get permission from the governor directly.

That was all Park Dong-gyu could do.

It was difficult for him to come forward and get permission from the governor, even though it was not a related department. No matter how good the intentions were, there were times when it was difficult to be active.

Because it could be caught in the suspicion of preferential treatment.

Park Dong-gyu conveyed the situation so far to us.

* * *

Han Gi-tak made a serious expression.

“We think differently. I didn’t know this would happen.”

“He must have done his best.”

It was a limitation of the civil service organization.

“Shall we move to Busan? There are many places that sell our products.”

“I’m opening a store for the first time, wouldn’t Hadong be good? We will also sell tea from green tea farmers.”

“I also like Hadong. But if you can’t use Hadong Gallery, the problem is different.”

“Senior is right. I think Hadong Gallery should be our store.”

“i think so too. But just because you want it doesn’t mean everything will work out. In such a case, it is also a way to choose the next best solution.”

“Then I’ll try one more time.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I plan to meet with the governor in person.”

“Are you meeting the governor?”

Han Ki-tak asked with a bewildered expression.

* * *

At that time, Hadong County’s military office.

Kim Chang-dae, governor of Hadong County, was looking at the county office website attentively.

Kim Chang-dae was the age to look forward to the 60th birthday this year.

He was a man with a youthful sense for his age.
