“How much did your heart hurt?”
Hwang Gyu-dae appeared in the scene where he started beekeeping again. I was also seen diagnosing the situation and recommending mobile beekeeping.
“Now it’s starting again, I hope it goes well.”
The Chilgok screen appeared. The scene where white acacia flowers covered the mountain was spectacular.
“Are you picking acacia honey?”
“This is the biggest advantage of mobile beekeeping. You can make any honey you want.”
I explained to her about beekeeping on the go.
“But what about the truck? It’s like a special device.”
It is a portable beekeeping device made by Jangwoo Lee.
“A mobile apartment for bees.”
“It makes sense when you say it like that.”
The events at Chilgok Acacia Mountain passed quickly.
Geum Min-seo asked this and that with a curious expression.
I explained the story of beekeeping in an easy way, starting with a mobile beekeeping device.
The scene changed and Park Eun-hee appeared.
“Is that the wife of farmer Hwang Gyu-dae?”
“Yes, this is Park Eun-hee.”
“What are you making now?”
“It’s bellflower Jocheong.”
“Are you a bellflower jocheong? Is that different from fucking?”
“Yeah, it’s not like shit.”
“It takes a lot of sincerity to make it.”
As she said, making bellflower extract required as much devotion as harvesting wheat.
“They say that Jocheong is man-made honey, but my husband makes acacia honey and my wife makes Jocheong.”
Geum Min-seo said as if he had made a great discovery.
“The bellflower chocheong is also a special medicine for twins.”
“A drug?”
“The twins have asthma and rhinitis, and their bronchial tubes are not good.”
“Is bellflower chocheong a medicine, right?”
“It is still used as a medicine in oriental medicine.”
“Ah, that’s right! I didn’t know that Jocheong was used as a medicine.”
As soon as Geum Min-seo’s words fell out, an oriental doctor appeared.
He talked about the efficacy of bellflower extract.
“Jocheong has been used as an herbal medicine for a long time. It strengthens energy and is effective in detoxification of waste products and blood circulation. When made by adding bellflower to Jocheong, it stops coughing and has an excellent effect on the bronchial tubes…”
Geum Min-seo nodded as she listened to the oriental doctor’s words.
The oriental doctor hired someone other than Hwang Man-sik.
This is because Hwang Man-sik appears in the oil field scene.
Soon after, there was a scene where Hwang Gyu-dae was interviewed.
He spoke like a confession about what happened with his father.
After the son’s interview, the father appeared.
He spoke frankly through an interview about a story he hadn’t been able to tell before.
The scene continued with a reunion scene at the oil field.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min-seo Geum saw the scene and tears were flowing.
“That’s what happened, and it’s really good that the relationship is restored now.”
A smile spread across Geum Min-seo’s lips, with dew forming around his eyes. Because I saw a scene selling the things of the children of Candle School.
“The t-shirt with candles is so cute. They also sell things well. Seeing the children brightened up the market!”
All studio recordings have been completed. After the recording was over, Choi Min-sung and the next schedule were coordinated.
“When I finish editing up to the studio shoot, I will go on the air. We are going to break it up into 4 parts. During the broadcast, Kim Deok-myeong will have to meet other performers. The detailed schedule will be provided by the author.”
“Then do you have any plans right now?”
“Yes, you can rest first.”
PD Choi Min-seong said with a smile. It’s a happy face, whether you liked the recording.

On the way back to Hadong, I got a phone call.
This is Seo Nam-soo, a teacher at the cafe ‘Friends’.
“Teacher, how are you?”
“I’m fine, do you have time today?”
Teacher Seo Nam-soo asked in a cautious tone unlike usual.
I’ve called him a few times. I was busy, so I left a message to call next time.
“I’m free today, but what are you up to?”
“I don’t want to talk over the phone, I want to meet and talk. There are people to meet.”
“Who are you meeting with?”
“They are all you know.”
“Then shall I go to Busan?”
“No, we are going to Hadong.”
The meeting place was the first store of Jirisan farmers. No details were heard over the phone.
There didn’t seem to be any problems with the local stores, including Mr. Seo Nam-soo’s store. I was constantly receiving documents related to sales from Han Gi-tak.
They were supplying dairy products, including yogurt and ice cream from the ranch, and recently bubble tea sets.
I thought it wouldn’t be a dairy issue.
Cars were lined up in front of the Hwagae Market.
Seo Nam-soo’s car was also seen in the car.
I opened the door and entered the store. The inside of the store was crowded with people.
“I was a little late.”
“No, we just came.”
The people who were with Namsu Seo also looked at me and pretended not to know. As he said, they are all familiar faces.
They were the bosses who ran cafes in Busan. There was also CEO Kang Soon-bok, who had a hard time due to difficult circumstances.
“What are you all doing…?”
When I saw their faces, my curiosity was amplified. On the way, I also checked the sales of other stores. All of them were drawing a steady upward curve.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
No particular problems were found.
“Were you surprised that we visited so suddenly?”
“I was a little worried about what the problem was.”
“It’s a problem, thanks to you, everyone here is doing well.”
“Then what happened?”
“It’s no different that we came here…”
Seo Nam-soo, a teacher, spoke as the representative.
They found me out of anxiety about the future.
All stores saw a surge in sales thanks to ranch dairy products. The problem was with the coffee.
Every year, franchise stores of large corporations were opening up. The competitiveness of coffee drinks was gradually declining.
Although sales were increasing thanks to dairy products, they judged that coffee was not competitive.
Besides, the price of beans was also a problem. Large companies are competitive in price by buying large quantities at once, but stores that receive coffee beans in small quantities are not.
“I wondered if we could sell bubble tea too.”
“Bubble tea?”
Hae-mi Noh, who was listening to the story at the counter, seemed surprised as well.
All of these are people whose stores have been saved thanks to dairy products from the ranch.
I was thinking of changing the tea to bubble tea.
It wasn’t for me to decide on my own.
“Would you mind waiting a moment?”
I called Han Ki-tak to the store.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Managing dairy products is Han Ki-tak’s domain. I had to ask for his opinion.
When Han Gi-tak reported the situation, he ran one step from the office to the store.
I went into the office on the second floor of the store with him.
“I thought about it when I came, and I think it could be a good opportunity.”
If you supply even bubble tea, they get everything from us.
“What if we could manage everything more systematically as we are responsible for it?”
He was talking about systems such as store management beyond the supply of dairy products.
It is a kind of franchise system.
“I feel like the franchise doesn’t suit us for some reason.”
This was different from enlarging crop cultivation. It’s a relationship issue.
The moment it becomes a franchise, it becomes a relationship between A and E.
“How about operating as a cooperative?”
“You’re turning cafes into cooperatives?”
“The green tea farms were also made into cooperatives. I think cafes are also possible.”
Han Gi-tak came up with the idea.
As he said, it is possible.
It could have been a good model if done well.
“The details will have to be discussed with people.”
According to Han Gi-tak, cafes could move as one like a cooperative.
I organized a few things and went down to the first floor.
The bosses looked at me with nervous faces.
“First of all, thank you for giving us a good offer.”
I told you about my conversation with Han Gi-tak. Everyone turned up their ears and listened to me.
They liked the terms.
It was a structure that went forward for the common good.
“Do you think it’s better than it is now?”
CEO Kang Soon-bok said with a smile.
We also had a symbiotic relationship with them. If they do well, the future of the ranch will be bright.
If there were stores where sales were sluggish, we could help together. It will be a cooperative relationship.
* * *
In the office, I was working on paperwork with Han Gi-tak.
It was a document containing a plan to supply even bubble tea to cafes.
I also asked Seol Kang-in for his opinion. This is because it also increases the production of milk.
Seol Kang-in was confident that that was enough.
Seol Min-ju was the person I liked the most when I heard the bubble tea story.
It was the moment when the patented sweet potato pearl would see the light.
It was around the time when everything was sorted out, including the contents to be negotiated with the store.
I got a call from writer Go Ae-joo.
“The next performer has been decided.”
“There is no time to rest.”
“You must have been very busy, I’m sorry.”
“No, I just did it. By the way, who will be the next performer?”
“The next performer lives close to Mr. Deokmyeong.”
“Are you close to me?”
bear man
The next performer lived nearby.
It was Gurye, not far from Hadong.
Writer Ko Ae-joo and I decided to meet at the Hwagae Market.
“I’ve only heard of the Hwagae Market, but it’s the first time I’ve been to the Hwagae Market.”
She arrived first and wandered around the Hwagae Market. Jirisan farmers have already visited the first store.
“The farmer’s store in Jirisan was like a gallery, it was cool.”
She wasn’t alone. PD Choi Min-seong and two staff members were also there.
PD Choi Min-seong said.
“From now on, I think we have to do it together with filming. The broadcast has started, and we have no choice but to meet the schedule.”
Like Hwang Dae-gyu, there was no time to meet separately.
The first episode had already aired.
The start was good. The ratings were also good.
Go Ae Joo got into my car. The staff followed us.
“Have you seen the email?”
Go Ae-joo asked.
“I haven’t had time to read emails these days because I’ve been so busy.”
She emailed information about the second performer.
I didn’t have time to watch because of work.
“If you haven’t seen the email, I’ll briefly introduce you. The next performer is Lee Ki-seok, who lives in Gurye.”
“What are you doing?”
“He was also a rice farmer and raised chickens.”
“You did a lot of things, what’s the situation?”
Go Ae Joo was speechless. He said it would be better to see it in person.
* * *
Arrived at a small village in Gurye. The performer’s house was a bit far from the village.
A man met us. He was a young farmer who looked to be in his early thirties. He was distracted by his size, like a bear.
“My name is Lee Ki-seok.”
The man held out a hand like a pot lid.
“My name is Kim Deok-myung.”
“I saw you on the show, thank you.”
Unlike his large size, Lee Ki-seok was the owner of a sad impression. Every time I spoke, I felt a friendly smile on my face.
The filming team has already become one with the camera. Two cameras followed us.
Lee Ki-seok was not particularly conscious of the camera.
“Mother, guests have arrived.”
A woman with a hood on her head came up to us.
“Did you have a hard time coming this far?”
This is Lee Ki-seok’s mother, Kim Nan-hee. Being thin and small in stature contrasted with his son.
“Hey, you’ve come a long way, but I don’t care what you treat me to.”
Rural people are generous wherever they go. It was more important to understand the situation.
“I heard that you farmed rice.”
I asked Lee Ki-seok.
“I used to farm rice.”
he curled his tail.
We headed to the rice field together.
“Did you farm here?”
I opened my eyes wide and looked where he was pointing.
It was hard to believe that rice was cultivated on this land. It was like a wasteland.
“Last year, the autumn and rainy season came, and rice blast, sesame seed blast, and wood blast spread to ripe rice.”
It was a disease caused by starting organic farming. Even with organic farming, he had to find a way to get rid of pests, but he wanted to grow it naturally.
The results were horrendous. Harvesting is completely impossible if the rice blast disease is severe. This is because the rice grains are not full, and the ears of rice turn white.
“I heard that you also raised chickens.”
“The poultry farm is over there.”
I headed to the poultry farm with Lee Ki-seok. A white building used as a poultry farm appeared.
He opened the door to the building. The inside was empty.
“Where are the chickens?”
“This winter, the bird virus spread and we slaughtered them all.”
“That…”
The staff also made sad faces.
