It was also a party to console the hard work and year-end party.
The young farmers laughed and chatted as they ate.
It felt different from seeing it in the office. I felt the freshness of my twenties.
There was only one young farmer who wore a suit.
This is Kang Su-yeol from the candle school. He had a mustache in preparation for going to Dubai.
Brown loafers matched the dark blue suit quite well.
I approached him and asked.
“Are you wearing a suit to the party?”
He was restless at my question. Sweat was dripping from his forehead.
“Are you wearing a suit in case you’re going to Europe?”
He nodded cautiously.
The more I looked, the cuter it was.
“A tuxedo and bow tie would look better.”
“Do I have to dress like that in Europe?”
He asked with a serious expression.
The moment I saw his face, I couldn’t help but smile.
“I’m joking, you only need to wear a suit when you have to be formal.”
“Ah yes… … .”
Kang Soo-yeol’s cheeks flushed red. He walked away saying the bathroom was urgent.
Then Sung-yoon Seong-yoon approached me. Unlike Kang Su-yeol, he wears comfortable clothes.
He was looking at me with his Buddha-like eyes.
“Is there anything you want to say to me?”
“Actually, there is something I want to ask the CEO.”
“Please?”
He paused for a moment. It is a face that is contemplating on how to speak out.
“Speak comfortably.”
“Didn’t you say that the recipient of the grand prize will have a chance to go to Europe?”
“yes. Doyun will also go to Europe, right?”
“Can I not go to Europe?”
I looked into his eyes for a moment. It sounded like a sincere statement.
“Is there any reason you don’t want to go to Europe?”
“If we go to Europe, we will not be able to proceed with agricultural funding.”
Agricultural funding for Hadong farmers.
It is a funding system that purchases the crops consumers want in advance by looking at the agricultural plan posted by the farmer.
He paid attention to small-scale farmers.
Unlike Kang Su-yeol, he had a clear goal. I liked his enthusiasm.
“You don’t have to go to Europe if you want to.”
“Really?”
Seong-yoon said with a broad smile like a child.
“However, there are conditions.”
“Just say anything.”
“It is a condition for successful agricultural funding.”
“I will definitely make it happen.”

Years have changed, and it’s 2010.
The day we promised to send Heidi More home salad growers was coming to an end.
Young farmers were also working hard on growing salad containers to be sent to Europe.
Lee Dong-chun said as he entered the office.
“Now it’s the representative’s turn to look at it.”
“Is the salad growing season complete?”
“yes. I even finished growing the salad.”
I checked the design and performance of the grower a week ago.
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 that he would request a final inspection after planting was finished.
There was a freshly made salad planter in the lab.
It is the size of a small refrigerator and is suitable for use as a salad planter at home. It features a white exterior with a transparent glass door.
Butterhead and Kaypira were growing in the grower.
The level of perfection was incomparable to the salad growers made by young farmers.
After all, it is an item that has been touched by the best experts.
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 new planting machine.
“I watched the crops grow for a week. I’ve seen that the crop grows just as well as the salad container.”
I opened the door on the grower and checked the salad.
I could feel the freshness of the salad.
“As the CEO said, we have collected only the advantages of growing machines made by young farmers.”
Lee Dong-chun said with a bright face.
“Have you decided on a name for the salad growing machine?”
I looked at Lee Dong-chun and Min Yo-han and asked.
As Lee Dong-chun was about to speak, Min Yo-han covered his mouth.
“I think the name ‘Haru Salad’ by Mi-hee Jo’s team would be good.”
“I liked the name too. But maybe there was another name?”
I said looking at Lee Dong-chun.
It was then that Lee Dong-chun opened his mouth.
“I have an idea.”
“I’m curious. What is your name?”
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 his face with his hands. The idea that Lee Dong-chun came up with seemed shameful.
“My name is ‘salad for you’.”
“A salad for you.”
Contrary to expectations, I liked the name he gave.
“It’s a good name.”
“Does the president think so too? Actually, it was a bit difficult for me to say anything about Min Yo-han that he was rustic.”
Lee Dong-chun glanced at Min Yo-han and said.
“Do you like that name, sir?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han asked with a look of disbelief.
“yes. I like it. ‘Salad for you’, I think it’s okay to express it in English.”
In the end, the name was decided by voting.
Before voting, Han Gi-tak said to his colleagues:
“I was thinking of doing it simply by raising my hand, but I decided to go ahead with a secret ballot.”
It was because of the reason that there is a high possibility that he will raise his hand to Lee Dong-chun if he raises his hand.
After voting, Han Gi-tak announced the results.
“Most of the salads for you are over.”
Everyone looked at Lee Dong-chun and clapped his hands.
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 to Lee Dong-chun.
“I will admit it cleanly.”
“It’s more about performance than name. Without Mr. Johann, we would not have been able to create an excellent grower.”
Lee Dong-chun patted Min Yo-han’s shoulder and said.
It is the moment when a new cultivation period is completed.
The name has been decided
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Now all that remains is to send the grower to Germany.
I said to Han Gi-tak.
“Chief of the management support team, please send our growing machine to Germany as soon as possible.”
“I’ll do it as a squad.”
* * *
The newly made salad grower left for Germany.
Salad growing wasn’t the only thing going to Germany.
Hyeon-sik Bang and Sang-cheol Kim of the front squad also had to leave for Germany.
They had everything ready.

On the day I left, I called the two of them.
“Go and be careful.”
“yes. I’ll be fine.”
“Park Tae-ho will be there at the airport.”
“I have already contacted you.”
Kim Sang-cheol said with a smile. Kim Sang-cheol and Park Tae-ho became farmers in Jirisan in the same year.
I hoped that Germany would cooperate as well as before.
I looked at Bang Hyunsik and said.
“I call my mother often.”
“I taught my mother how to make a video call.”
Bang Hyun-sik said with a smile.
That day, the two left for Germany.
* * *
It has been a week since the two of them left for Germany.
The salad planter sent to the Deutsche Company arrived safely.
I wondered how Heidi More would rate the new salad grower.
Just before leaving work, I got a call from Heidi More, the CEO of the Deutsche Company.
“The home salad growers made by local farmers in Jirisan have been well received.”
Her voice sounded cheerful.
“It was more impressive than the salad container. It looks like something is coming out that will sweep the European market.”

Mural village
Heidi More, the head of the Deutsche Company, was not spared praise.
She was convinced that the salad grower made by Jirisan farmers would create a sensation in the European market.
Sales of home salad growers to Europe will be carried out through a joint venture.
All paperwork for the joint venture had been completed.
I told her before ending the call.
“We will also send a salad container to Germany soon.”
It was a salad container ordered from various European countries during the Amsterdam Fair.
“Are the technical staff of the Jirisan farmers coming along?”
“yes. We plan to send the experts along with the salad container.”
The latter are young farmers. A team of growers and technical experts.
All personnel from both teams receiving the grand prize are included. Except for Seong-yoon Seong, who is in charge of farming funding.
* * *
The next day I told my colleagues what Heidi More had to say.
“The Deutsche Company also appreciated our salad grower. I was told that the technology was very good, and it hurt my ears.”
“It makes me feel better to hear that the Germans have good technical skills!”
Lee Dong-chun shrugged his shoulders and said.
“I expected the reviews to be good. Because no one can match the technological prowess of 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 with a smile.
“As Mr. Yohan said, the technical skills of the farmers in Jirisan are the best in the world!”
Han Ki-tak put his hand on Min Yo-han’s shoulder and said.
“Management support team leader, how is the dividend payment going?”
It is a dividend paid to those who participated in the funding of Jirisan farmers.
The promised date is approaching.
“It’s already been done. Dividends will be paid on the promised date.”
As soon as Han Ki-tak’s words fell, Lee Dong-chun sang for hurray.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Not only Lee Dong-chun, but also others clenched their fists.
Because everyone participated in the fundraising.
Dividends are a bonus.
Han Ki-tak said in a friendly atmosphere.
“I got a call from Hadong-gun. It looks like we’re almost done fixing the house.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Most of the young farmers are living in dormitories attached to Hadong University.
However, university dormitories were only temporary housing facilities. Now it is possible to give a decent house to young farmers.
“Hadong-gun asked me to visit once.”
“A visit?”
“It’s about the house, and there’s something to give to our representative.”
“You have something to give me?”
* * *
That afternoon, I went to Hadong County Office with Han Ki-tak.
I asked Han Gi-tak.
“Didn’t you tell me what you were going to give me?”
“Since I’ve been asking questions since a while ago, I guess I’m curious.”
“Did you know?”
“I know. There is no reason for officials to give surprise gifts.”
“Now tell me.”
“You don’t want to say it because you’re curious?”
Han Gi-tak said with a playful expression on his face.
“It looks like a present.”
“Well, you can see that.”
“Aren’t you going to keep talking?”
“It is so much fun to make fun of our representative. Hadong-gun said that they would give a Achievement Award to Representative Kim Deok-myeong.”
“A prize for achievement?”
“It is an award given to those who have done great things for the region. Our representative deserves it.”
Han Ki-tak said with a proud face.
* * *
Hadong County Governor Lee Byung-hwi greeted us and said:
“Wait here while the event is being prepared.”
The event will be held at the Hadong County Office Auditorium. The main event includes an awards ceremony.
“It’s an achievement award, so it’s overdone.”
“It’s too much. Kim Deok-myung deserves it. It’s a pity that I can only give you an achievement award.”
Lee Byung-hwi said, making eye contact with me. It’s a really sad expression.
I was more than happy to finish fixing the house than to receive the award.
It was a project jointly promoted by Hadong-gun and Jirisan farmers.
It was to secure a living space for young farmers.
Jirisan farmers and Hadong-gun paid half the cost.
Ha Dong-gun was in charge of purchasing the house and carrying out the construction.
“I heard that the repairs to the house are almost done.”
“yes. We’re almost done. We will be able to move in soon.”
“Good news.”
“If we left it alone, it would be like a haunted house. Thanks to the farmers in Jirisan, all abandoned houses have been turned into new homes. Everyone in the village is happy.”
Lee Byung-hwi said with a satisfied expression on his face.
“Wait a minute.”
Lee Byung-hui brought a file that was on the desk. He took the picture out of the file.
“This is a picture of a renovated house. Let’s see.”
