It was like installing salad containers in Antarctica.
“Did my son do that?”

My father said while looking at the TV and my face at the same time.
I smiled and nodded my head.
It is a peaceful time to spend with family.
We ate sweet pears and had a relaxing time.
There was a scene where I won a gold medal at the Antarctic Olympics.
When the penguin doll came out as an injury, the mother chuckled and laughed.
He lightly patted my back and trembled with laughter.
“My son also plays table tennis well.”
“It’s because everyone resembles me.”
The father accepted the mother’s words.
“When did you start playing table tennis?”
“It’s because I didn’t say it, I played ping-pong!”
“Deokmyeong-ah, is your father’s bluffing getting worse day by day?”
I laughed at my mother’s words.
After the Antarctic scene, the final scene is the story of the plan.
As he talks about the dream of a rich farmer, his father’s eyes were wet with tears.
The mother also stared at the screen silently.
As soon as the broadcast ended, my father said with a determined expression.
“Today, I should have a drink with my son.”
“Drinks?”
“why? Do you hate having a drink with your father?”
“It’s not that I hate it, I’m taking that medicine.”
It was a medicine my parents prepared for me.
I take it every day after returning home.
I didn’t even drink alcohol at the dinner party.
It was because of the sincerity of their parents.
“A cup is fine. Drinking alcohol with my father is like a medicine.”
It’s an absurd argument. But I decided to accept it.

My mother was already preparing the table.
A table was served in an instant, as if it had been prepared in advance.
Grilled fish and stir-fried squid on the dinner table.
“Do you want to have a drink with your son today too?”

Mother joined with a smile, and father brought out the plum wine he had made himself.
“Take a drink.”
I laughed out loud at the pleasant voice.
Even my mother’s glass was full of plum wine.
“Shall we have a toast with the family?”

My father grabbed a drink and cried.
The plum wine was drunk.
sweeter than a boat
“I don’t know how long this is.”
The mother looked at her father and said.
There were many times when I had a drink with the farmers in Jirisan, but it was the first time in a long time that I had a close-up dinner with my family.
As promised, I only drank one cup.

My father seemed to be already drunk.
He looked at me with eyes moist like a deer.
“When you first said you wanted to farm dried persimmons, I thought you were just trying to become an ordinary farmer.”
“An ordinary farmer!”
The mother was furious at her father’s words.
“You have to listen to people. That’s how it was at first. Now, you look like someone who will change the world.”

My father said that and took a glass of wine.
A smile fills his lips
Suddenly, I remembered my father before returning home.
The livestock industry, which had started as ambitious, went bankrupt and lived in pain.

My mother also suffered a lot.
I resented my father like that.
“Deokmyeong-ah, rice grows by listening to the footsteps of farmers.”
That’s what my dad always said when I was a kid.
I didn’t like that.
Because it means the hardship of a farmer.
I didn’t like it because it seemed like it was forcing me to be diligent.
“You must keep this in mind.”
“Yes, I do not forget it and have it carved into my heart.”
“I am glad that you are. I thought you hated it.”
“I don’t like it. I know what it means.”
That word does not mean only the hardships of the farmer.
Human power makes cutting-edge cultivation facilities, but what is grown inside the facility is a living, breathing crop.
Communication with crops is important.
“When I brought up the story of the rich farmer on the air, my heart was touched.”
Tears were about to fall from his father’s moist eyes.
“This yangban wants to say something absurd again.”
He said so, but the corners of his mother’s eyes were also moist.
“The dream you said is also my dream. Please make that dream come true.”
A tear fell from his father’s eyes.
It was thick and transparent, so it didn’t look like tears.
It was like dew on the leaves of grass.
“As my father said, I will make my dreams come true.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My father said that if there are many rich farmers, the country will prosper.
It was my dream and my father’s dream.

The ripple effect of broadcasting did not only affect the family.
The media also showed interest.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Many media outlets have requested interviews.
Among them was Bae Seon-ah, a reporter for a Korean newspaper.
I gave her a chance to interview her for the first time.
“I am a reporter for a Korean newspaper Bae Seon-ah.”
Reporter Bae Seon-ah came to the office.
“It’s been a while, how are you?”
“I’ve always been fine.”
“Come inside.”
I went into the conference room with her.
“I was surprised to see the broadcast.”
Upon entering the conference room, she said at once.
“What made you so surprised?”
“I didn’t know Mr. Deokmyeong was so good at table tennis. I also played some table tennis before.”
“I’ll have a fight with reporter Bae later.”
Reporter Bae Seon-ah smiled and took out her notebook.
I have a long relationship with her. Since I first started farming dried persimmons, a kite came into contact by chance.
The article was well published at that time, which helped a lot in selling dried persimmons.
“Can I ask you the most curious thing first?”
“Please speak.”
“Where is the end of Mr. Deokmyeong?”
“Are you done?”
“Starting from dried persimmons, you are doing advanced agriculture. I am curious about the end.”
“Well, I’m curious too. As I said on the show, if we make a lot of rich farmers, the end may be in sight.”
I said with a faint smile.
“Then let’s get to the point.”
The interview started. She inquired in detail about the reasons for starting hydroponics.
The Antarctic episode was not left out. He meticulously inquired about various things that happened at the base in Korea and the cultivation facilities made at the base in Chile.
After the hydroponics story was over, she asked cautiously.
“I didn’t tell you on the show, but how big is the funding?”
“Can we talk about that a little later?”
“You haven’t decided yet?”
“I plan to announce the specifics after signing a contract with the broker.”
“Then, when the details are decided, are you the first to let me know?”
Reporter Bae Seon-ah looked into my eyes and asked.
It’s a pity, but it’s the eyes that are aiming for the next one.
“I will tell you, reporter Bae, first.”
“Then, can we see the newly built vertical cultivation facility?”
“You can see it, but it’s difficult to shoot.”
“Oh, is that so? Why?”
“We are working on a patent right now. I have a sensitive part, so please understand.”
“Then we will see with our own eyes. Is that possible?”
“Sure.”
I went with her to the warehouse where the vertical cultivation facility is located.
Lee Jang-woo and Min Yo-han waved their hands.
Reporter Bae Seon-ah looked up at the vertical cultivation facility.
“I didn’t know it would be this high.”
She seemed surprised to see the layered plantations.
“When we build a large facility, we plan to build it higher.”
“Higher than this? Almost like an apartment!”
“You can think of it as an apartment, the apartment where the salad lives.”
“That expression is interesting.”
Bae Seon-ah wrote those words in her notebook.
It was time to say goodbye to her and return to the office.
Han Gi-tak found me.
His expression hardened.
“what happened?”
“I’m talking about patents… … .”
* * *
The next day, I headed to Seoul with Han Gi-tak.
I am on my way to see a patent attorney for patent issues.
The patent attorney’s office had been sending patent-related documents a few weeks ago.
The patent attorney’s office said there was no problem in obtaining a patent.
However, there was one troubling problem.
Han Ki-tak said with a puzzled face.
“At first, I thought I would get a patent as soon as possible… … .”
I focused on driving without a word.
He was a patent attorney who did not spare any money. It was a year to do it as soon as possible.
I had no intention of waiting for a patent for a year.
If that doesn’t work, I’m thinking of finding another patent attorney.
We entered through the forest of buildings in Gangnam.
I saw a sign for the patent attorney’s office.
[One-Stop Patent]
When Han Ki-tak first hired this place, I thought it was a good choice.
It was a famous patent attorney’s office.
It was widely praised as a place where the best patent attorneys gathered.
In particular, I heard that the ability of the CEO is excellent.
However, contrary to the rumors, it seemed that it could not proceed with one stop.
As I entered the office, a female employee asked.
“Did you promise?”
“Yes, I made an appointment with Kim Yoon-sik, a patent attorney.”
“Please wait.”
Soon after, a female employee escorted me to the office.
Patent Attorney Yunsik Kim welcomed us.
“welcome. It’s the first time we’ve seen each other face to face.”
Patent Attorney Kim Yun-sik was wearing glasses with high prescription.
It is an image that seems inflexible.
I went straight to the point.
I just brought up the story about patents.
He had the same answer.
“Original patents take some time. In particular, the technical field is difficult to judge.”
Talking more seemed to be of no use.
“Then I will cancel the contract right now.”
“No, not that… … . I am the customer!”
Patent Attorney Kim Yun-sik jumped up from his seat.
I made eye contact with Han Gi-tak.
If it doesn’t work, I’ve been told to terminate the contract.
We got up at the same time.
Patent Attorney Kim Yun-sik followed.
“Hey, listen to me one more time.”
I never looked back. The only thought was that I should find another patent attorney as soon as possible.
It was the moment I left the office.
His eyes met a middle-aged man who was walking from the other side.
He looked at me and asked with a smile on his face.
“Isn’t it Kim Deok-myung?”
“Yes, right?”
He reached out and asked for a handshake.
“I saw it on TV. It is an honor to have met you like this, even by coincidence.”

Occasionally, this is the case, but this is the first time in a patent attorney’s office.
It’s time to lightly bow down and cover up.
he asked with curious eyes.
“But what did you come to our office for?”
“I came here to register a patent.”
The middle-aged man reacted promptly to the words that he had come instead of coming.
He turned to Kim Yun-sik, a patent attorney.
“What is this?”
