“African?”
“Your parents live in a country called Ivory Coast.”
“Ah… you are far away. May I ask what you do in Ivory Coast?”
“You are doing medical service.”
“Your parents are doctors.”
“Yes, unlike your son, you are great people.”
It was understood that Min Yo-han and Mark Lester did not become a team.
Warm blood was also flowing from Min Yo-han’s body.
It was impossible to become a team with a greedy man who wants to dominate everything by himself.
* * *
Han Gi-tak and Baek Min-seok were informed of the news.
When Min Yo-han said that he would be working with us, Baek Min-seok was very happy.
Because he knew what role he was going to play.
“Senior, please find a place to stay.”
“It won’t be easy tomorrow right now, so I’ll set up a temporary shelter on the ranch first.”
“Yes, please give it a try.”

Now all that remains is to go to Hadong with Min Yo-han.
We had dinner together with Min Yo-han.
The last supper on Jeju Island was decorated with braised cutlassfish.
It was said that it was food that could not be eaten because it could not be ordered for one person.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han ate the cutlassfish neatly.
After dinner, the story of work naturally came out.
“Do you have any ideas about hydroponics?”
“I want to start with containers first.”
“Is this information from Plant Factory?”
“What do you mean?”
“Plant Factory also used containers in the early days of hydroponics. Didn’t you know?”
“No, I had no idea.”
“Anyway, it’s a good start. Container.”
The reason to start with containers was to reduce risk.
I didn’t want to work too hard from the beginning.
“I want to build a complete hydroponics facility in a container.”
He looked into Min Yo-han’s eyes and said.
“I also worked with the container facility. I also have the files I’ve been working on. It will be helpful. By the way, are there any engineers? There must be someone who can touch the machine.”
“Yes, we have a team of engineers working with us.”
“You were well prepared. For reference, a refrigerated container is recommended.”
“Why use refrigerated containers too?”
“Because of the temperature. Containers get hot because of artificial light.”
Light to illuminate the crops was a problem. The room temperature heated by artificial light should be lowered.
“The container doesn’t really need a new one. Second-hand prices that only operate refrigeration facilities are good. The inside has to be rebuilt anyway.”
“Yes, I will look into it.”
After eating, we went home.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My schedule in Jeju Island was coming to an end.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Now, all that remains is to build a hydroponics facility in earnest.
I took out my notebook and organized my schedule.
Then the phone rang.
It was Lee Jang-woo of ‘Incheon Precision’.
“I have something to report to you.”
“You see?”
“I got a container, I want to buy a reefer container.”
“A frozen container?”
Still, I was writing it down in my notebook. Lee Jang-woo pierced my heart like a ghost.
“Why is it strange? You said you had to control the temperature.”
“Okay, very good.”
“New ones are too expensive, so I’m going to buy used ones. After all, the interior has to be renewed.”
It seemed like he was following Min Yo-han’s words like a parrot.
“I haven’t paid yet. My father also told me to ask you first.”
“I think you should pay for it right away. And I have one request.”
“What?”
“Come down to Hadong tomorrow.”
“To Hadong?”
“Why are you busy?”
“No matter how busy you are, if Gap comes, Eul should go.”
“Not A and E, but one team.”
“Good team, see you tomorrow. manager.”
Finally, all the special teams for hydroponics were able to gather.
fast-growing salad greens
After finishing the Jeju Island itinerary, we moved to Hadong.
When we went we were alone, but when we returned, we became two. It was with Min Yo-han next to him.
“I feel like I’m traveling instead of going to work.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han said while looking at the scenery outside the window.
“What kind of place is Hadong?”
“It is a beautiful place. It is famous for Daebonggam and green tea.”
“I wonder what it will look like. But have you thought about what kind of crops you want to grow?”
There was talk of hydroponics using refrigerated containers.
The crops to be grown have not yet been discussed in detail.
“At first I thought of our wheat.”
“It’s wheat…”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han shrugged his chin and fell into thought.
“How about delaying the wheat?”
“For what reason?”
“When I was at the Plant Factory, I experimented with different crops. Density was one of them. I have tried other grains as well as wheat. It wasn’t easy. It has a long growing period and is not easy to harvest.”
I didn’t want to grow any crops.
I wanted to grow crops that would synergize with dairy products from the ranch.
“How about vegetables for salad?”
“Vegetables for salad?”
“I would recommend Butterhead or Kaifira. It grows quickly and is easy to grow with hydroponics.”
Butterhead and kaipira are Western lettuce varieties that are widely used in salads and hamburgers.
“How long does it take to grow?”
“After two weeks of seedling, it can be harvested in four weeks.”
“It’s fast.”
“If we upgrade the hydroponics facility, we can shorten the time even more.”
It was also possible to shorten the cultivation period by using a hydroponics facility.
It is possible to grow vegetables in a shorter time.
“As you know, hydroponics does not require pesticides. It is a method of growing with nutrients and water needed for crops. Fresh vegetables are good.”
If you can grow fresh vegetables all year round, it’s also a good match for ranch dairy products.
“I first thought of wheat because we wanted to spread our wheat. It’s Korea’s ‘cramped wheat’.”
“I know. American agronomist Norman Borlaug even won the Nobel Peace Prize for using crippled wheat.”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Norman Borlaug improved a cultivar of cripple wheat.
It was made by bringing crippled wheat with high productivity and strong vitality to grow well in barren land. Thanks to the wheat he improved, he was able to solve the problem of starvation.
Ironically, in Korea, the country of origin, the legacy of crippled wheat was cut off.
“What about wheat after the salad greens are successful? There are some tricky parts to building a facility.”
“Okay, let’s try the salad greens first.”
I decided to start hydroponics with salad vegetables.
As Min Yo-han said, there were many convenient features. It grows faster than other crops and is compatible with dairy products from the ranch.
It can be a good start if you prepare well. This is because a vegetable crisis is planned between this year and next year.
If you aim for that time, there is a possibility of rapid growth.

I arrived in Hadong with Min Yo-han.
He was curious about the apiaries of Jirisan farmers. At the time, my parents were at the apiary.
I introduced Min Yo-han to my parents and went around the apiary.
“It’s amazing, it’s a lot bigger than I thought.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han said with a look of admiration.
“Can I see bees in my spare time while growing hydroponically?”
“As I said in Jeju Island, anything is possible.”
I looked around the apiary and headed to the ranch. Min Yo-han’s temporary residence was prepared at the ranch.
While he was unpacking, he found a barn. Seol Kang-in was taking care of the cows with her colleagues.
“Are you here?”
Seol Kang-in’s expression brightened. Just by looking at his face, he seemed to know how the ranch was running.
Seol Kang-in let go of his hand and came to me.
“I heard that you went on a business trip again as soon as you came back from a business trip in the United States. You are always busy.”
“Captain Seol is busier than me. Dairy production has more than doubled.”
After the production of sterilized milk, dairy production increased further.
The increase in bubble tea sales also played a part.
“The term “team leader” is still unfamiliar to me. Anyway, as you said, dairy production has increased. Still, this is no problem. Because the robotic milking machine saved me a lot of work.”
I watched the cows go into the robotic milking machine.
Robots were doing the most difficult work on the ranch. Hard farm work just got easier.
“I heard you’re going to grow crops.”
Seol Kang-in said to me. It seems that Baek Min-seok spread the news to the people at the ranch.
“Yeah, I’m thinking of growing crops that would go well with ranch dairy.”
“Well, my prediction was right.”
Seol Kang-in said with a happy expression.
“Expected?”
“I didn’t think you were vaguely going to grow any crops. I thought there must have been a legitimate purpose. I thought it would be a good match for ranch dairy.”
“Then what kind of crops did Team Leader Seol think of?”
“I was thinking of salad.”
“You are correct!”
“Really?”
“Yes, I plan to grow salad greens. Using the land left over on the ranch site.”
“Isn’t it suitable for planting vegetables?”
“It doesn’t matter, it’s not open-field farming.”
“No, you mean you don’t grow vegetables on the ground?”
Seol Kang-in did not seem to know about hydroponics.
“Yes, I plan to grow salads using containers.”
“It’s a container… I can’t imagine it.”
Then Min Yo-han approached us. I introduced Min Yo-han to Seol Kang-in.
“This is a salad expert.”

A special team for hydroponics has gathered in one place.
The Hwagae Market was used as a space for the special team.
The conference room on the second floor of the store was the space for us.
It was Han Gi-tak’s suggestion. This is because the Agricultural Support Center was busy with shopping malls and the like.
The conference room on the second floor of the store was used for the dried persimmon training. It was perfect for use as a dedicated space for a special team.
I went into the conference room with Min Yo-han. Lee Jang-woo and Baek Min-seok of ‘Incheon Precision’ arrived first.
“This is Min Yo-han who will be with us.”
At the end of the introduction, No Hae-mi entered the conference room. There were bubble tea and mocha bread on the plate.
After she left, a full-fledged meeting took place.
“Lee Jang-woo is in charge of the engineer and Baek Min-seok is in charge of the program.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han said while organizing his notes. As the work began, Min Yo-han’s eyes changed.
The attention to detail was impressive.
He briefly explained the hydroponics system to people.
“There is a big difference between hydroponics, just talking and doing it yourself.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han turned on the laptop screen.
“These are the things I recorded while researching hydroponics. There was a lot of trial and error.”
There were records of intense research on the screen. Most of the content could not be known without professional knowledge.
“The reason I am releasing this is because I am determined to be part of the Jirisan farmers.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han said, making eye contact with me.
“I don’t think it’s necessary to repeat trial and error. I want to shorten the time as much as possible, what do you think?”
His gaze turned to me. He was saying it was important to decide what decision to make.
“I have no desire to repeat trial and error. Is there any way to save time?”
“I will go to Incheon with Lee Jang-woo.”
“To Incheon?”
“I have a hydroponics blueprint on my laptop. It’s not easy to build a facility just with a blueprint. It is something that requires communication with engineers.”
“I also agree with Min Yo-han.”
Lee Jang-woo looked at me and said.
I had the same thought. If he works with the engineers, the job will be much easier and the time will be reduced.
“As soon as I came to Hadong, I went to Incheon.”
“I plan to come as soon as possible.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yohan said with a smile.
Lee Jang-woo was looking at the container drawings on his laptop.
It was as if he had a drawing in his mind.
“Do you have any information about the program? I want to work in advance.”
Baek Min-seok asked Min Yo-han.
“Yes, if you give me your e-mail address, I will give you the relevant information. I think it would be nice to connect the program to the internet, is it possible?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han took out his smartphone.
“It is possible if it is linked with an application. I started making applications as soon as I got a smartphone.”
Baek Min-seok used to make something with his laptop even during the fair.
When I asked, he said he would try out a new development program.
It reminded me of how it was linked with a smartphone. I was preparing the application by myself.
“As you said, it’s an elite team.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han gave a satisfied expression.
“Well, what are you going to do with the elixir?”

One of the most important tasks in a hydroponics system is to provide nutrients to the crops.
Although Min Yo-han could build a system related to hydroponics, he could not make a nutrient solution.
said to Min Yohan.
“I will take responsibility for that. It will be resolved by the time I return from Incheon.”
“Then we are ready.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han covered the laptop screen.
“I will go to Incheon with Lee Jang-woo.”
“As soon as we meet, we say goodbye.”
