“He went to get money.”

“money?”

“Because I got the machine and didn’t pay for it. My father is very nervous these days.”

“I see.”

“By the way, if it’s an oil press, there must be a lot of factory products, right?”

Lee Jang-woo asked while drinking coffee.

“Because I need something new, not an off-the-shelf product.”

“What’s new? Aren’t all the oils the same?”

“It’s not the same.”

“How different?”

Lee Jang-woo’s face changed into a curious child.

“Have you ever seen an oil press?”

“I saw a lot. I even made it myself.”

“Do you understand that it’s all hot-pressed?”

“The oil comes out well when you fry the sesame seeds.”

He understood too. It seemed that long words were unnecessary as it was easy to understand.

“What I want is a cold press.”

“Cold pressing?”

“A machine that squeezes roasted sesame at low temperature, not sesame roasted at high temperature.”

“Roasted sesame seeds at low temperature.”

That was then.

The office door opened and a middle-aged man entered.

“Father, you are my friend.”

“Hello, my name is Kim Deok-myung.”

“Sit comfortably.”

“What’s on your father’s face? Things didn’t go well.”

“Oh, don’t say it.”

It seemed that things were not going well.

“But why did your friend come to the office?”

Lee Jang-woo’s father asked.

“I’m here to build a machine.”

“What machine?”

“It’s an oil press.”

“Then you are a guest.”

Father’s face changed. He was a middle-aged man who had seemed powerless until recently.

The man in front of me now seemed full of energy.

Conversation has also changed.

“My name is Lee Dong-chun.”

“Yes, Father.”

“Even if you are my son’s friend, the customer is the customer. From now on, I will treat you with respect.”

“Yeah, do whatever you want.”

“How far have you been talking?”

I told my father about the machine he wanted.

“It’s cold pressing, would you mind giving me some time to think?”

The two rich men had a heated discussion.

They didn’t ask why they squeezed the sesame seeds at low temperatures.

I only thought of machines. Sesame seeds roasted at low temperature were harder than at high temperature.

They focused only on how to break the hard seeds and squeeze the oil.

It seemed to have finally come to an end.

Lee Dong-chun said with a smile.

“I think it would be possible with a spiral press.”

It was possible to roughly infer even the name. It is the sound of turning the screw to squeeze out the oil.

It felt good.

“Can you make it as fast as possible?”

“Time and money are linked.”

Lee Dong-chun said in a rather serious tone.

“Please get a quote. We’ll give you half of the price as soon as you start working. I will give you the rest of the money after the machine is finished.”

“I’ll get to work right away.”

His face bloomed like a flower when he said that he would pay the deposit.

It has the momentum to build a machine in one day.

technicians

There were a few things to check before starting to build the machine.

“About the spiral press, could you please explain to me?”

Lee Dong-chun took out a screw from the drawer.

“This is a spiral screw.”

A screw-like protrusion was seen on the screw. He turned the screw slowly.

“We are going to make a screw in the form of a spiral. The sesame seeds pass through the long screw and the oil will come out. It is sesame roasted at low temperature, so it has a hard corner. I think a spiral screw would be suitable for turning hard sesame seeds into oil.”

“good. There is one more device I would like to add.”

“You tell me.”

“I want to put a heating wire inside the machine, is it possible? It’s a heating wire that can control the temperature.”

“If the temperature is not too high, it is possible. within 100 degrees.”

“That is enough.”

“Then can I put the heating wire in the screw?”

“Yes. Please.”

Roasting at low temperature seemed to be better done by the machine.

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

Machines sold in the market only served to press the roasted sesame seeds.

It was unreasonable to generate high temperature in the machine.

I only imagined that there would be no problem with the low-temperature method, but fortunately my father was satisfied that it was possible.

The spiral screw does not only squeeze the oil, but also roast the sesame seeds.

“Do you have any other requests?”

“I also want to put a timer on the machine.”

“You want to control how long the heat is applied?”

“yes.”

“No problem.”

“I think I said everything I wanted.”

“Then may I ask you a question?”

Lee Dong-chun asked quietly.

“You tell me.”

“Are you going to put anything other than perilla and sesame seeds in the machine?”

“Not right now, but I’m also thinking about sunflower seeds and walnuts.”

“I don’t mind sunflower seeds, but walnuts…”

Lee Dong-chun exchanged glances with his son Lee Jang-woo.

He seemed worried about adding whole walnuts.

“When squeezing walnut oil, the skin is removed and steamed repeatedly. The size is also smaller. You can rest assured.”

“Then you are safe. But where is walnut oil used?”

Lee Dong-chun asked. Jang-woo Lee is also curious.

When they said that they would put the roasted sesame seeds into the machine, they didn’t show any interest.

He was curious about the idea of squeezing walnut oil.

They were just curious.

As of 2007, walnut oil is not widely known to the public.

The words of the oriental doctor who appeared on the show spread by word of mouth and became known to people.

Walnut oil was particularly effective for acute pneumonia in children and the elderly.

There was also a case where an elderly person who had coughed for a long time got better by taking walnut oil.

As the efficacy became known, it became popular. Suddenly, more and more people were looking for walnut oil, and the price skyrocketed.

I didn’t plan on making sesame oil. It was planned to squeeze out various oils.

“Western people call walnut oil ‘a drop of god’. It is also used as high-quality food or medicine.”

“I’ve never heard of using walnut oil. Anyway, that’s no problem. So, now let’s get to work.”

Ready to build the machine.

Lee Dong-chun was ready to work right away. He said building the machine might not take as long as expected.

Important parts such as motor bearings were already available.

It meant that it could be produced quickly if only the screw was completed.

Jangwoo Lee saw me off.

“Didn’t you feel uncomfortable because of your father?”

“No, it was better. The conversation went well.”

“I would be happy if that was the case. And don’t worry about the machine. My father is also a father, but I will take good care of you.”

“Thank you, and this is just for reference. Is it possible to use machinery?”

“What kind of equipment are you talking about?”

“Equipments related to the cultivation of crops.”

“Are you talking about irrigation facilities?”

“Yeah, from the watering facility to the temperature and humidity control facility, things like that.”

“You weren’t just trying to squeeze the oil, were you?”

We plan to introduce a smart farm someday.

While making the machine, I wanted to inquire about the equipment.

It was a time when the concept of a smart farm was still unfamiliar.

Lee Jang-woo seemed to have been thinking for a long time.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.

“Anything can be done with a machine. But you’ll have to ask precisely. Because we have no farming knowledge. Like you said about the oil press. If you explain what features you need and how you want them to work, I don’t think it’s a big deal.”

“After all, engineers are different!”

“Because they are people who make a living with technology.”

“Then I will wait for you to contact me.”

The commission to build an oil press has been completed. Now all that remains is to wait for the finished machine.

In the meantime, I had one more thing to do.

On the way down from Incheon, I called Hwang Yu-shin.

He finished the dried persimmon education and was having a leisurely time.

When he said that he would go home, he urged us to meet with a friendly voice.

Arrived at Sangju Hwang Yu-shin’s house.

On the way home, Ms. Hwang Jung-ah welcomed me.

“I’ve been trembling in Busan since a while ago that Mr. Deokmyeong was coming.”

Hwang Jung-ah said with a smile.

“Did Deokmyung come? If you come, don’t come in.”

Hwang Yu-shin opened the door and came out. They seem to have prepared refreshments in the room and waited.

“I was going to visit you after finishing the dried persimmon education, but it was too late.”

“Since I grew dried persimmons with the people who came from education, I have no choice but to be late.”

“More than the beginning of everything, I thought it was good to work together and work together.”

“I thought your thoughts were good too. We can work together again in the future.”

“Everyone promised to do that.”

“That’s good. Yes, there were no special problems?”

Yushin Hwang asked with a smile.

“There was one problem.”

“Is that a problem?”

His gentle expression turned serious.

“There was a torrential downpour in Hadong a while ago.”

“I also watched the news. It suddenly rained and I thought it was strange. Did you ever get hurt?”

“Yes, the dried persimmon I worked on was hit by the rain.”

“Hey, how much damage did you do?”

“It has been completely destroyed.”

“Uh-huh… it’s a pitiful situation.”

Hwang Yu-sin felt thirsty and drank water.

“I must have felt bad. You were the first to educate.”

“Yes, my heart was heavy. It was also my fault.”

“How could that be your fault, it’s heaven’s fault.”

He let out a long sigh at the passage that it was the fault of the sky.

It was an inevitable problem that all farmers had to face.

Humans could not control the weather. The farmer is helpless in the face of fickle weather.

“Is the victimized young farmer a first-time farmer?”

“Yes, I am a young man who farmed dried persimmons for the first time this year. He’s also the youngest person I’ve ever been educated. I am 21 this year.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I want to give him a chance to stand up again.”

“A chance? It looks like you have some plans. Please tell me in detail.”

Hwang Yu-shin showed interest. He looked curious about what was going on.

“The young mother was pressing oil as her pastime.”

“When it comes to oil, do you mean sesame oil or perilla oil?”

“you’re right.”

“We are trying to squeeze the oil together and sell it.”

“That sounds like a good idea. It’s also a time when I wake up for a while.”

“So I want to ask the teacher for help.”

“I don’t know what the dried persimmons are going to do for oil extraction?”

“It’s something a teacher can help with.”

“As you know, I do not farm sesame seeds.”

Yushin Hwang said with big eyes. I knew very well that he didn’t farm sesame seeds.

“Isn’t there a farmer named Jinho Cheon among the people who were educated by the teacher this time?”

“Are you talking about Yecheon Cheonjin Lake?”

“That’s right, Yecheon Cheon Jin-ho.”

“I see what you are talking about.”

Hwang Yu-shin understood my meaning only then.

In the process of selecting dried persimmon trainees, an application was received.

All documents were reviewed by me first.

All those who would receive the dried persimmon education in Hwang Yu-sin were those who were already farming.

Among them, there were those who not only farmed dried persimmons but also other crops at the same time.

Some were growing plums and growing persimmons, while others were growing sesame seeds and made dried persimmons.

Cheonjinho farmed sesame and dried persimmons. The main focus was sesame seeds. I applied for this training to achieve results with dried persimmons.

“Yecheon is famous for sesame seeds. I know that Jinho Cheon is a big sesame farmer.”

“I want to buy sesame seeds from him.”

“Are you going to ask me for a price?”

“You are asking your teacher like that, absolutely not.”

“Otherwise, there would be no need to ask, but why do you need my help?”

“I want to buy in bulk.”

“Are you planning on making that much?”

“Yes, I plan to make as many as possible.”
