“Yes, I promised.”
“Wait.”
she entered the house
It was strange. I felt the tension.
I checked the letter of recommendation from Monk Yeonhwa in the bag again.
That was then.
The door opened and a middle-aged man appeared.
“Are you Kim Deok-myung?”
It was a temporary bag.
“Yes, I am Kim Deok-myung.”
I said goodbye and went straight into the house.
There was a pleasant scent of tea in the room.
A middle-aged woman who first greeted us brought us a car.
“Listen.”
Temporary Baek suggested a car.
It was then that I could see his face closely.
Im Si-baek was a man who looked as hard as a tree.
The sun-tanned skin and beaky eyes were impressive.
“What is that?”
Im Si-baek looked at the paper bag next to me and asked.
“This is my little castle.”
“Sincerely, can I take a look?”
I handed him a paper bag.

Noh Hae-mi had a tense expression on her face.
He opened the package.
“It’s alcohol, and it’s also intoxicating. I misunderstood.”
“yes?”
“I don’t drink strong alcohol.”

Noh Hae-mi’s face turned pale.
“I heard that Master Yeonhwa wrote a letter of recommendation. Can I see you once?”
“Here it is.”
I handed him a letter of recommendation from Master Yeonhwa.
It was a sealed letter.
I couldn’t even ask questions like I did when I got a recommendation from Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother.
He opened the sealed envelope and pulled out a letter of recommendation.
I couldn’t read the letter of recommendation, but I could read his expression.
His face was getting contorted.
There was a chill vibe.
Jirisan Farmer’s Birthday Award
“Are you the one who learned beekeeping at Jijangsa?”
The old man’s face hardened.
“Yes, I am a person who learned beekeeping at Jijangsa.”
“Then, you are the one who caused the commotion.”
“A commotion?”
“I heard your story from the graveyard monk.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Myowon monk was the second son of the Jijangsa. The commotion he was talking about seemed to be referring to my trip to the cave.
It was a homework assignment given by Monk Maehwa, a master of beekeeping at Jijangsa.
The day I came out of the cave, all of the Jijangsa monks came to visit me.
The monk at the graveyard was also there, and the situation at that time may have been something that the monk did not like. I saw that the events at that time were delivered in a commotion.
It seems that the monk at Myowon also had a relationship with Im Si-baek’s longtime regular.
“You seem to have misunderstood something.”
I said carefully. Even telling a detailed story could sound like an excuse.
I decided that it would be better to refrain from talking as much as possible.
“Oh my gosh, it could be.”
Im Si-baek said, taking a sip of tea.
“The reason I came to the teacher is to learn green tea.”
He said, making eye contact.
“I know. Because those words were also written in the recommendation letter of Master Yeonhwa.”
Im Si-baek turned his head and looked at Noh Hae-mi.
“Are you planning to learn green tea together?”
“Yes, I want to learn together.”

Noh Hae-mi said with a nervous face.
“I wonder why young people are interested in green tea.”
“A lot of young people these days are interested in cars. I want to make various products using green tea.”
“It’s a variety of products, what is that?”
“We are currently running a ranch. There are also plans to make a product that combines green tea and milk or cheese. I think young people will also be interested in green tea.”
At Noh Hae-mi’s words, Im Si-baek’s face darkened.
“I am not interested in such products.”
“But if you give me a chance.”
I made eye contact with No Hae-mi. It was a signal to stop talking.
“I heard your story because of your relationship with Monk Yeonhwa.”
From the moment I met the temporary bag, I had a bad feeling.
His mind seemed to have been decided from the beginning.
“I don’t know if you know this, but Hadong Green Garden is a historic place that has been passed down for four generations. I’ve never had a disciple from outside before. So my conclusion.”
“I am confident that I will do well. Just give us one chance…”
Hae-mi Noh interrupted Im Si-baek and said.
I grabbed her arm.
“I have nothing more to say. I’m busy with work, so I’ll get up first. And take this gift back. No one in my house drinks this.”
The temporary bag was given a present.
We went to Hadong Green Garden.
I thought things would go well, but I ran into an unexpected problem.
Yeonhwa’s letter of recommendation was useless. Rather, it aroused anger.
The temple was also an organization. There must have been various conflicts within it.
It was not surprising that the priest Inja Lee, a monk at the graveyard, had bad feelings.
After leaving Dawon, No Hae-mi did not speak.
His face was pale.
“It’s okay, Haemi. You won’t be too disappointed.”
“Sorry, I ruined everything.”
It was a trembling voice.

Noh Hae-mi’s eyes were on the gift.
It was a gift I bought to believe in my senses.
“Would you like to go to the ranch for a bit today? I have some work to do when I stop by the office.”
“yes.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My heart was heavy at the sighed reply.
* * *
I dropped No Hae-mi down at the ranch and headed to the office.
As I entered the object, Baek Min-seok looked at me with puzzled eyes.
“what? Didn’t you say you’re out of work today?”
“I just got back from work.”
sat in the office seat.
“It’s a little strange to see you sitting at your office desk.”
As he said, I spent more time in the field or ranch than in the office.

Now I have something to check urgently.
It was about a temporary bag.
I found his article. There wasn’t much information. It was about what Master Yeonhwa had heard.
There was only one interview article. I perused the article. As I was reading the article, something came to my mind.
Like Hwang Yu-shin, he was not someone he had a relationship with when he was an advertising planner, but I did see an article about Im Si-baek, a green tea master.
I could be sure because there was content that was consistent with the interview text.
He is a green tea master who developed ‘Golden Mineral Green Tea’.
‘Golden Mineral Green Tea’ is a product that will be released soon.
I didn’t put gold powder directly into the green tea, but I can’t remember the details. It must have been the result of a lot of hard work.
Thanks to that special ‘Golden Mineral Green Tea’, I remember winning various awards and rising to the ranks of masters.
Im Si-baek is a person who worked hard to make green tea more luxurious than popular. When I tried to popularize green tea by using dairy products to such a person, I snorted.
“What are you looking at like that?”
Han Ki-tak asked quietly from the other side of the monitor.
“Surprisingly, did you see anything strange?”
I looked away from the monitor.
“Weren’t you with Haemi-san?”
Han Ki-tak looked around and said.
“Haemi is at the ranch now.”
“Aren’t you here? Look at me for a second.”
He had an expression on his face that had something to say. I went up to the roof of the building with him.
“Where have you been?”
“I came here to meet a green tea expert. I want to learn green tea.”
“Did the story go well?”
“No, it’s something that goes down from one family to another, so it’s not okay.”
“Then you can learn from someone else.”
As he said, if it is simply to make green tea, there is no need to learn the skills from Im Si-baek.
Im Si-baek made an effort to improve the quality of green tea. It wasn’t just ‘Golden Mineral Green Tea’ that came out as a result of our efforts.
There was also oolong and black tea.
To make milk tea that goes well with ranch milk, I had to know the secret to making oolong and black tea.
Han Ki-tak looked at my face and opened his mouth.
“Is there any reason you want to learn from him?”
“He’s the best person I know in Hadong.”
“Then there is nothing you can do. Our representative wants to learn from the person who is the best.”
Han Ki-tak said in a playful tone.
“By the way, we have a meeting at the ranch tonight. The representative must also attend.”
“What happened?”
I opened my eyes wide and asked. It was unexpected.
“The CEO writes like this, but he doesn’t even know the employee’s birthday.”
His words blew my mind. Today is No Hae-mi’s birthday. Usually, everyone celebrated their birthday together.
I was so absorbed in my work that I forgot that today is Noh Hae-mi’s birthday.
“We are going to throw a surprise party at the ranch. so you know.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Management support team leader Han Gi-tak was considerate.
Today, he felt reassured.
“By the way, aren’t you on my birthday?”
he asked with a scornful expression.
“Absolutely. You don’t know your senior’s birthday.”
“Tell me. What month is it?”
* * *
It was the evening after work on the ranch.
The ranch family ate dinner together after work.
Everyone dispersed saying that they had dinner plans today.
Eventually, No Hae-mi came to a point where she had to eat dinner alone.
These were all ideas that came out of Han Gi-tak’s head. He said that this is the only way to save the charm of the surprise party.
I was worried inside. Because I know how she feels today. Still, Han Gi-tak’s persistence could not be broken.
It was the moment when No Hae-mi was about to eat alone at the ranch restaurant.
The lights went out with a bang.

Oh, I heard a voice.
It was No Hae-mi’s bewildered voice.
That was then.
Jirisan farmers with birthday pizzas appeared.
The pizza was made by Seol Min-ju herself. I made mozzarella cheese with ranch milk and baked a pizza.
It was a pizza with green leaves, nuts, and even blueberries. It was even served with honey from Jirisan farmers. It looked quite appetizing for a pizza made by a beginner.
Birthday candles were lit on top of the pizza.
Twenty-five candles lit up the dark kitchen.
It was a handmade product specially made in the candle workshop.
It was a beeswax candle in the shape of a four-leaf clover.
“happy birthday. happy birthday. Dear No Hae-mi, happy birthday.”
The happy birthday song of the Jirisan farmers followed.
“Now blow out the candles.”
Everyone said with one mouth.

No Hae-mi blows out the birthday candles at once.
“Thank you, everyone.”
The lights turned on with No Hae-mi’s words.
Tears welled up on her face.
She was lively and acted as a mood maker, but she did not show any tears.
Even if the story of the temporary encyclopedia did not go well, no tears were shed.

Now, tears were dripping like chicken poop.
“I didn’t know Haemi would be so moved.”
Han Ki-tak handed him a present and said. Everyone gave her a present.
“thank you.”
His face was wet with tears, but there was a smile on his lips.
“Then it’s time to taste the pizza?”
Baek Min-seok looked at the big pizza and shouted.
“First of all, No Hae-mi, who is celebrating her birthday.”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Noh Hae-mi bit a slice of pizza in her mouth.
“It’s really tasty.”
When I saw that, I thought of Geum Min-seo’s ice cream smoke.
It seemed I wasn’t the only one.
“Can I play Haemi-san? I can’t tell if I’m crying because it’s delicious or because it’s sad.”
Everyone burst into laughter at Seol Min-joo’s words.
It was a happy birthday party.
* * *
Hae-mi Noh placed the gifts she received on the desk.
The heartbreaking thing at Hadong Green Garden during the day was erased from my mind.
The warm hearts of colleagues took their place.
It was time to open the gift wrapper.
The phone rang.
