I transferred 4.8 million won to him excluding the brokerage fee.

“Can I make one more suggestion, old man?”

“Tell me.”

“Can I get the right product?”

“It’s a holiday topic, so I missed a lot. I still have five hundred boxes left.”

“Can I sell that thing?”

“Good.”

“I plan to get 40,000 won per box.”

It was a better condition than the amount handed over to the wholesaler. Of course he didn’t refuse.

“Can I take the persimmon with credit as you promised at that time?”

“Of course.”

Although Jeong Gil-san had a rough side, once he trusted him, he was a person who trusted him completely. On his farm, 150,000 big buds were produced each year.

It looked like he would give it all if he wanted to take it all.

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

Minseok only slept for two days. It was like a bear that went into hibernation.

I had no problems running the site by myself.

I posted new products on the site other than the scratched apples and pears. There was an image I took in an orchard.

All were top notch.

As soon as I posted it, the reaction was hot.

– A high-quality item came out that was not scratched.

– 10,000 won more expensive but cheaper than the supermarket.

– You can trust and buy things here.

– Jirisan farmers are the best.

Some were looking for cheap and good fruits, while others were looking for high-priced fruits.

Besides, it was a full moon ahead of Chuseok. Keywords related to Chuseok were selected by me. The Jirisan farmer, whom he wanted to catch the most, was also caught.

It was all the result of diligence.

My posts are displayed at the top. At that time, there was no concept of a viral advertisement.

Posts with good quality content like mine were bound to get good marks. More and more bloggers are asking for neighbors.

I was naturally becoming a power blogger.

During dinner, my father brought up an interesting story.

“I heard that Gil-San Jeong from the orchard was talking about you.”

“My story?”

Mom also put the spoon down and focused on what Dad said.

“They say you are the one who will lead our village.”

“Am I?”

“It’s not just that. They even say that you are the leader who will lead the village.”

“That yangban got a good look at my son.”

Mom, who had been listening quietly, suddenly came out.

I smiled inside. He was an adult with a very cute corner.

I had to row when the water came in. Maybe now would be a good opportunity for me.

I had to make the board bigger.

“Can I ask you one favor, Dad?”

“What is your request?”

“I would like to invite everyone who runs an orchard in our village.”

“Is it all? What are you going to do?”

“I want to do something good for everyone.”

My father said he would do it without asking why. Now, even if I told you to make meju with red beans, you would believe it.

Three days later, people gathered at the town hall. It seemed that everyone in the neighborhood had gathered except for the person who ran the orchard.

When I appeared, the town hall roared.

Everyone was wondering what I was going to say.

I had a plan to win their trust.

Jirisan Farmers

“I am a farmer.”

They only knew me as a farmer’s child. I wanted to let them know that I am a farmer just like them.

“I don’t have the same experience as the elders, but I have the power to read the world.”

People listened to me. Perhaps because they heard my story through Jeong Gil-san, everyone’s eyes were sincere.

“I only ask one thing. Is farming difficult? Or is it difficult to sell produce?”

“It’s all difficult.”

“no. It’s harder to sell.”

Answers popped up all over the place. Most complained that it was more difficult to sell. It was natural. Now that farming has become a life, I was able to somehow manage it even though it was difficult.

But sales were another area. It was a structure that had no choice but to be swayed by the tyranny of middlemen.

“I want to solve the chronic problems of the village. We will help seniors sell the goods they produce at a fair price.”

At those words, the town hall roared.

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t the young guy bluffing?”

“Because Jeong Gil-san said you can trust that guy.”

I waited until the surroundings became quiet. The fact that everyone was agitated meant that it was also a hot issue.

Then the gray-haired old man got up from his seat and shouted to the people.

“Be quiet! I want to hear what that young man has to say.”

Everyone shut their mouths at his words. Twinkling eyes stared at me. Somehow, I felt a sense of energy.

“Tell me. How is that?”

“I will sell it for you.”

“Where are you selling it?”

“This is my shopping mall.”

“shopping mall?”

People who didn’t even browse the internet didn’t know about shopping malls.

I sent a signal to Minseok, who was waiting.

“Can you turn on the projector?”

Prepare the projector in advance.

“This is where I sell my stuff.”

He was a peasant and not an idiot. I am just unfamiliar with the new culture. If it was easy to tell, there was nothing that I couldn’t understand.

“So, there is a market in the computer.”

The white-haired old man said with a look of understanding.

“you’re right. old man.”

The villagers were looking at the screen as if curiously.

The reaction was varied. Most were positive.

It was thanks to the vivid reviews of consumers who wrote directly in the shopping mall.

“These are written by consumers themselves.”

“Then can you sell my house fruit too?”

“I will sell you.”

Since then, people have been clamoring for you to sell your things.

There were people talking about nonsensical things. Now I was concentrating on the fruit.

Anything that did not meet the conditions was politely rejected.

“As I said before, I am a farmer. I am not doing this with the intention of becoming a middleman. However, the fee will be 10%.”

“If that’s the case, we are welcome.”

Then the white-haired man raised his hand. He was an old man who responded positively to me from the beginning.

“You say?”

“But what kind of farm are you planning to cultivate?”

“I plan to start a dried persimmon farm soon.”

He put on a puzzled look. So were the others. It was the same reaction my parents had in the first place.

“It is a dried persimmon made from Daebong persimmon. It will be my first farm this year.”

“I don’t know if that’s a good idea.”

It was a fact I learned from Hwang Yu-shin, a master of dried persimmons, and I was able to share all the information I knew. Instead of saying that, I brought up another story.

“It’s to try something new. Hadong is a great feeling. No one has been able to make it from dried persimmons. It starts with me as a young farmer. Please give me a lot of guidance.”

Applause erupted from all over.

“If you need a daebong-gam, just say it.”

You said that you would give me a sense of nothing. Of course, it wasn’t free, but it felt like I had done a credit transaction verbally.

I announced to the villagers that I would start farming. No one ever told me that I was upset.

Because I can provide them with what they need. I too was able to get the things they needed.

It wasn’t just about getting things. Gaining trust in the countryside has never been easier.

Like his father, trust once earned will not be easily broken.

If everyone in the village became my comrades, there was nothing to be afraid of. Farming was a work in which many variables acted. people are property

“I have one last person to introduce. They are my colleagues.”

I gestured to Minseok, who was touching the laptop. He waved his hand, but he looked into my eyes and came out reluctantly.

“Kahee, you too.”

Kahi sat quietly next to her father, Gilsan Jeong. When I called my name, my face turned red like a blush as usual.

She couldn’t stand the people’s gaze.

“They are my friends. Take good care of me.”

I held the hands of two friends and bowed to the people.

The sound of applause lingered in my ears for a long time.

felt good.

It was a day in need of congratulations.

That evening, Minseok and I headed to an elementary school near our house.

The pork belly and neck were heavy in hand. Soju, of course, was not to be missed.

“Xiamen Elementary School.”

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

Minseok read the nameplate on the front door. It was the only sign that this place was a school. It has now been transformed into a rural experience learning center.

Unfortunately, there were no children attending elementary school in the village.

“You came quickly.”

Kahi came out of the darkness. Minseok’s face hardened as if surprised when he saw her.

“You haven’t even said hello yet? This is Baek Min-seok.”

“I am Jeong Ga-hee.”

Before introducing herself, she held out her hand. While the two of them greeted each other awkwardly, I entered the kwanliso inside the school.

“Are you here?”

I welcomed the Day of the White-Haired Old Man I saw at the town hall. It was Lee Chun-bae, an elderly man who runs the experiential learning center here.

I didn’t know him from the beginning. I found this place while looking for a place to have a party. Occasionally, I saw people having a barbecue party here.

I went to the manager and asked him, and he said that if you pay the fee, you can use it as much as you want. He said something different then.

“It’s money.”

“Take it.”

“You can’t get money from someone like you.”

“Who is a person like me?”

“Someone who will change the world.”

“Then you should get better. Don’t get used to freebies.”

I paid him and went out. Hearing his words, I really felt like I was gaining a village. At times like this, I thought at the same time that I should take care of the people closest to me.

Those who would become my left and right arms were waiting for me.

While I was away, Kahi seemed to say something to Minseok. Minseok couldn’t move like a mouse in front of the cat.

I never expected that I would show such a weak appearance in front of a woman.

“Are you going to be like this? I’m not ready to eat.”

I told them like a joke.

“Oh, the lights are on.”

Kahi shouted like a child. A light came on in the elementary school playground. There was a large barbecue area just below the light.

It was a weekday evening, so no one was there. There were only three of us.

“When I was young, the playground looked big, but when I grew up, it was really small.”

“I know. It reminds me of a long time ago.”

“Then shall we begin in earnest?”

“good.”

While I put the meat on the grill, Kahi washed the lettuce.

sizzle. 👌👌👌👌

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

My mouth watered at the sound of the meat being grilled.

“Let’s have a drink.”

I shouted while holding a glass of wine.

“Thank you all. for being with me.”

“I didn’t even say that we were officially together.”

Kahi suddenly popped out. She was right. Today was the day of confirmation.

“Then answer me now.”

She looked intently into my face. Min-seok was in charge of the site and Ka-hee was in charge of delivery.

I didn’t think she would refuse.

“great. I’ll be with you. Instead, there are conditions.”

“Condition? Tell me.”

“If you get a chance, let me do the farm I want.”

“What kind of farm?”

I was a little surprised by the unexpected answer. I never thought that there would be a farm that she wanted.

“I will tell you about that later. when the opportunity arises.”

“great. I will accept it.”

She showed a characteristic dimple to indicate that she was satisfied.

I turned my head to Minseok. I wondered if he had anything to say.

On a day like today, I had to confide in everything that was on my mind.

“Minseok-ah, do you have something to say like Kahi? Say anything you want.”

He seemed to have been thinking for a moment.

“Give me freedom as promised.”

“freedom?”

“You are free to sleep when you want to. Freedom to eat when you want. Rice freedom when you want to be cheap. Give me the least amount of freedom.”

“okay. Of course.”

Kahi smirked at Minseok’s words and made a big joke. I raised my glass high.

“For the beginning of the Jirisan farmers.”

One to two drinks passed. I was more than happy to get two people than to get a village.

“There is no salary until the dried persimmon farming is over.”

“You evil scoundrel.”

The tip of her tongue quivered because Kahi was drunk.

If all goes according to plan, I was planning to pay my monthly salary when the dried persimmon farm was over. I don’t have an accountant right now, but I was going to find someone who would do it when the time came.

The first meeting of the farmers in Jirisan ended in a friendly way.

It was the most relaxing evening I’ve ever had.

Two days before Chuseok, all the damaged fruits in the shopping mall were sold out. All the fruits of the villagers were sold out.

The locals did not spare to say thank you when they saw me.

The secret to being sold out was the small quantity. It was exactly the level of the market I could afford.

It is said that targeting the scratched fruit on the market paid off. I think I got it the first time.

It was also a market that would wither if another competitor emerged.

When I settled the commission, I made about 9 million won in profit. If it’s big, it’s big, if it’s small, it’s small.
