A Returning Genius Farmer Grows Money Indefinitely

In particular, he was not afraid to learn new skills. I was also constantly learning how to use the Internet using a computer.

It was he who suggested an interview page with the governor on the newly introduced website two years ago.

Kim Chang-dae looked at the interview page with the governor at the same time as he went to work.

Now, in 2007, there were not many people who freely access the website from farmhouses.

I made an interview page with the governor, but there were not many users.

If there was even a small complaint, I responded with a happy heart.

In some cases, interviews were actually conducted.

It was a request to do computer training at the town hall.

Kim Chang-dae granted his request. After that, I felt the fun of communicating through the Internet.

It became a little pleasure to go through the interview page with the governor every morning.

Today, just like any other day, I clicked on the interview page with the governor.

It’s been a while since I posted an article.

He clicked in anticipation.

The author was a young farmer, Kim Deok-myung.

It started with an introductory article about how to become a farmer by farming dried persimmons.

Kim Chang-dae thoroughly read Kim Deok-myung’s writings to the end.

The governor liked the young farmer’s idea.

His proprietary patent, the eagle stroke, appeared.

Kim Chang-dae sent a reply to Kim Deok-myung.

Jirisan Farmer’s No. 1 Store

The county government website was opened. The governor had an answer. I was surprised by the quicker response than I expected.

It was the answer I was hoping for.

– I read Kim Deok-myeong’s suggestion with great interest. When you have time, I would like to meet you at the county office. You can make an appointment by calling the number below. We look forward to meeting you.

I called right away. When I said my name, the working team checked the schedule and told me the time.

I chose the fastest time. It was an interview with lunch.

Before meeting the governor, I met with Han Gi-tak.

“I had an interview with the governor.”

“uh? Did it really happen?”

he asked with a look of disbelief.

“I will make good use of this opportunity.”

“This is a documentary of the idea I talked about yesterday.”

Han Ki-tak handed the document and said.

After being contacted by Director Dong-gyu Park of the county office, we revised our strategy.

He came up with a concrete plan on how to actively use the Hadong Gallery.

Some ideas came up. First, the idea was to exhibit local specialties at the Hadong Gallery.

It was an idea that came because Jisoo Jang was covering green tea farms.

It was planned to display Hadong’s specialties such as fruit trees and crops, starting with green tea farms.

It wasn’t just about exhibiting special products. Its characteristic feature was that it was displayed along with writings containing the story of the farmer.

There were also contents that opened a forum for exchange with farmers from other regions.

It was an idea that took advantage of the characteristics of the Hwagae Market. The Hwagae Market was a gathering place for people from Hadong, Gurye, Sancheong, and Gwangyang. It was located on the border between Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do.

It was about selling not only Hadong regional specialties but also products from other regions as if it were a planned exhibition.

I thought it was a good idea to share information and find ways to collaborate with farmers in other regions.

The meeting with the governor was held at a Korean restaurant with a long tradition in the region.

When I said my name, I was escorted to the room I had reserved. It was a cozy space.

After some time, the governor Kim Chang-dae came in with the chief of staff.

“My name is Changdae Kim.”

“This is Kim Deok-myung.”

Kim Chang-dae was a round, middle-aged man. He seemed kind and kind.

“Thank you for allowing me to interview you.”

“It is natural. It is also for the development of the region.”

We ate and continued the conversation.

“I heard that green tea farmers are forming cooperatives. I heard that the farmers of Jirisan, where Kim Deok-myeong is working, are with them.”

“Yes, as you said, this is the stage of forming a cooperative. Jirisan farmers are closely connected with the cooperative.”

“I was a little surprised at first to think of using the Hadong Gallery. Hadong Gallery is a space originally created for local artists.”

“Yes, I know it was created for local artists.”

“Creating a space doesn’t mean that an artist comes out.”

Changdae Kim said. It was a soft tone, but there was a sense of concern in it.

“When I heard the idea of Mr. Kim Deok-myeong, I thought of this. Hadong Gallery can become an agricultural art space.”

“Thank you for thinking that way. We brought the details together.”

I handed him the document I had written.

Kim Chang-dae received the document and examined it meticulously. It was shared with the chief of staff and occasionally exchanged opinions. Meanwhile, the restaurant staff came in and finished cleaning the table.

Kim Chang-dae did not take his eyes off the document.

“It is an idea that young people came up with, so it has a lot of personality. There is also a unique way to display local specialties. I think it is a good idea to display not only the products of green tea farmers, but also the stories of the farmers. Does Kim Deok-myeong cover the stories of farmers?”

“The author is investigating. He used to be a professor at a university, but now he is working as an essay writer.”

“The writer has also hired an expert, so there is no way to make a small thing clumsy. I wonder what the story will be.”

Tea was served for dessert.

Kim Chang-dae carefully read the document.

“Interacting with other local farmers… How specifically are you going to do it?”

Kim Chang-dae was also curious about the details. The more I looked, the more meticulous the manager was.

“I plan to share the agricultural skills I know with people in other regions. I think it’s important to share farming skills with farmers.”

“I would like to share Kim Deok-myeong’s agricultural technology… For example, what kind of agricultural technology do you plan to share?”

“I made dried persimmons with Hadong Daebong persimmon. We plan to start by sharing the technology of dried persimmons.”

“Can I easily teach you such a technique?”

“I believe that better technology comes out through technology exchange. The teacher who taught me the technique of dried persimmons is also thinking like that.”

“Oh, is it? I was thinking too narrowly.”

Kim Chang-dae said while taking a sip of tea.

“The more I listen to Kim Deok-myeong’s story, the more attractive I feel. But I have one more question.”

“You tell me.”

“Before I came here, I heard about Kim Deok-myeong. He is famous in our area as a young farmer. I heard that they distribute dairy products in big cities such as Busan. I thought I would go to Seoul and start a bigger business… I wonder how they came up with the idea of starting a business in Hadong this time.”

“Because of the symbolism of the green tea cooperative. I drew a picture of teas produced by green tea farmers in one place. We sell nationwide through the Internet, but I thought it would be nice to have a symbolic store here in Hadong, the main producer of green tea.”

“okay. That’s great!”

“And I also wanted to see the reaction of the new products developed by the farmers in Jirisan directly from the residents.”

“Is it new?”

“We are preparing bubble tea as a new product. It is a joint product made from the tea of the union people and the dairy products of the farmers from Jirisan.”

“Bubble tea… I wonder what it tastes like.”

Kim Chang-dae held out his upper body and said curiously.

“I will handle the Hadong Gallery rental case on my own line.”

“thank you.”

He said that he would go through the internal verification process, but he promised that he could prepare for the operation of the gallery.

It was something I had expected since I asked him for an interview, but when I heard what he wanted, my heart raced.

Finally, we were able to open our first store in Hadong.

“It was a space for young people after all. It’s no wonder that a young farmer like Kim Deok-myeong enters there. Of course, it’s not free.”

We laughed together at Kim Chang-dae’s words.

“Of course, the terms and duration of the lease will vary depending on the performance. If we get good results, our military will be able to stay with Kim Deok-myeong for a long time. Even after my tenure is over.”

Kim Chang-dae’s words had a long-standing insight.

“I have one last question for you.”

“You tell me.”

“Who came up with the idea of selling produce in the gallery? Are you Kim Deok-myung?”

“Yeah, that was my idea.”

“How did you come up with the idea of using the gallery as a store?”

“It is because I want to break prejudices about where agricultural products are sold. A place that sells agricultural products has a strong image of being crude and modest. The thought that it would be nice to have a stylish and clean place seems to have led to the Hadong Gallery.”

“I strongly agree with that statement. There is no law that says agricultural products should not be sold in a stylish space. We look forward to good results.”

“thank you.”

* * *

After the interview with the governor, I went straight back to the office.

He told his colleagues that he had been given permission to operate the store.

The person who was most happy was Han Gi-tak. Because he knew well that it was not an easy result.

“Okay good! Then, all we need to do now is prepare for the opening.”

Han Ki-tak said with an excited face.

“Minseok-ah, how are you preparing to sell online?”

“Look at this.”

Baek Min-seok took me to his seat. Jisoo Jang’s writings were well organized in the form of a webzine.

“Good?”

“Did the design come out better than I thought? Hui-Yi is talented.”

Baek Min-seok looked at his teammate Cheon Hee-seok and said.

Cheon Hee-seok had a shy expression on his face.

“The program for mass mailing is almost coming to an end.”

“Then, shall we finish preparing for the store opening before the program is completed?”

“great.”

all said in one voice.

After verbal permission from the military commander, the contract with the military officer went smoothly. After getting permission, everything went smoothly.

Hadong Gallery was turning into the first store for farmers in Jirisan.

From office staff to Seol Kang-in at the ranch, she helped open the store.

The interior didn’t take much time.

The work was carried out in the direction of preserving the Hadong Gallery as it is.

It was planned to create a space for making bubble tea and various teas and place tables.

Seol Kang-in’s carpentry skills shone. Colleagues worked together to help turn the gallery into a store.

The first store of Jirisan farmers was slowly being completed.

* * *

There were a few things that had to be done before the Jirisan Farmer’s No. 1 Burial was completed.

It was necessary to select the person responsible for the management and operation of the store first. Team leader-level personnel recommended one person.

It was No Hae-mi. She learned tea skills from Im Si-baek with me.

He was also the person who developed pearls for bubble tea together with Seol Min-ju.

I called No Hae-mi quietly.

“Haemi-san, have you been very busy these days?”

“No, it was the CEO who was busier.”

“It’s no different, but I want you to take charge of the store that is opening this time.”

“Am I?”

No Hae-mi asked with surprised eyes.

“why? Don’t you like it?”

“No, I don’t like it. It’s an opportunity to use what we’ve learned so far.”

“Haemi will be the manager of the first store.”

“As a person in charge, my shoulders are too heavy.”

“I think Haemi is the right person. Not only me, but also my colleagues.”

“If you say that, I will work hard.”

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

Noh Hae-mi said with a bright expression.

“But am I the only one who sees this spacious store?”

“No, there is one more.”

“Who is that?”

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

No Hae-mi asked with her eyes twinkling.

“You are in charge of the tea ceremony.”

“Is it tea?”

“Haemi-san will remember it too. There were sweets to eat with bubble tea at cafes in Taiwan.”

“Yes, I remember. Pineapple cookies and even crackers.”

“Someone is in charge of that.”

“Then are we going to make pineapple cookies too?”

“No, just like bubble tea is made by our own method, Dasik has to be our own.”

* * *

The person in charge of the tea ceremony was Grandma Kim Kkot-nim.

I went to see Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother.

“What happened to Deokmyeong to our house?”

“I have something to tell you.”

“Is it because of the Dasik we talked about then?”

Grandma said with a smile. You hadn’t asked me to take care of the tea ceremony yet… How can you know your heart so well?

I tilted my head.

“Sit here. I’ll be there soon.”

Grandma went into the kitchen. Soon he came to me with a small prize.

“Are you talking about this?”

The table was filled with yakgwa, jocheong yugwa, and hangwa.

“When did you make all of this?”

“Didn’t you say it was necessary then?”

“At the time, I was just asking if I could make it.”

I said with a smile. It seems that Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother misunderstood what I said.

“I am not wrong.”

Grandma ate a piece of Jocheong Yugwa as if embarrassed.

“Then I should give it a name of virtue.”

Grandma put a pill in my mouth. It was sweet and savory, just as I had tasted before.

“Actually, this is what I came here for.”

“Oh no?”

“Please be the representative of Dasik in the first store of Jirisan farmers.”

“A person in charge of the tea ceremony?”

I told my grandmother in a way that she could understand.

About the situation ahead of the store opening and the role of the person in charge of Dasik.

“Then, what kind of festival is the dessert that you mentioned then?”

“The festival will probably be possible next spring. I want Kim Kkot-nim and Grandma to make tea at the store regardless of the festival.”

“Can I do that with my skills?”

Grandma Kim Kkotnim said with a playful expression on her face.

It was a face that I liked to be the person in charge of the tea ceremony.

“Your grandmother is the strongest person in the universe. Please.”

“If you ask me like that, there is nothing I can do.”

Grandma said with a smile.

The store manager was Noh Hae-mi. She was in charge of drinks and tea.

Dasik was played by Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother.

The two will form a team and run the first store.

Baek Min-seok’s mass mail program was also completed.

The first store of Jirisan farmers has also completed preparations.

It was the moment to open an online shopping mall and an offline store at the same time.

Hwagae Market Photo Exhibition

Hadong Green Tea Producer Cooperative’s products were uploaded to the Jirisan farmers’ shopping mall.

Products ranged from honey harvested by farmers in Jiri to dairy products and various types of tea made by the Hadong Green Tea Cooperative.
