chapter 6
I pointed my finger at Ms. Hwang Jung-ah. It was because she wanted Ms. Hwang Jung-ah to go with her.

Not only Ka-hee, but I actively persuaded her, but she ultimately refused. Neither of them was the reason they couldn’t leave the house.
I had to be satisfied with only Hwang Yu-shin.
The next day we set off for Hadong.
“Put your seat belt on. Teacher. We are leaving for Hadong.”
It felt like a grandson and granddaughter going on a trip with their grandfather. Hwang Yu-shin also seemed more happy than expected.
It was like a grandfather going on a trip after a very long time.
His expression was also kinder than usual. My body and mind seemed to have softened.
I don’t know if that’s why, but I also asked a question I wouldn’t normally ask.
“What did Ga-hee major in college?”
“I majored in Korean literature.”
“It’s Korean literature… Is Kahi planning to start farming too?”
“I haven’t decided on my exact career path yet.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
she was silent Yushin Hwang did not ask any further questions.
He turned his head and looked at me.
“Deokmyung, what did you major in?”
“I majored in Advertising and Public Relations.”
“It’s advertising. It feels oddly suited to you.”
“I have something to tell you after the words have come out.”
“Are you asking again?”
Yushin Hwang said with a shudder.
“You asked about my major. It’s a small but important request.”
“Don’t turn around, just tell me.”
“I want to use the teacher’s name.”
“My name?”
“I want to put the teacher’s name on the products I made. It is a dried persimmon made by Hwang Yu-shin’s disciple. What is this feeling?”
I had my own plan. It was a collaboration between Hadong’s famous daebonggam and dried persimmon master Hwang Yushin.

Of course, he didn’t make it himself, but the name of his disciple was enough to have an effect.
Until this time, there was no case where a person’s name was used in an advertisement except for a celebrity. It was a time when the title of an opinion leader was more familiar than an influencer.
Yushin Hwang understood the meaning of my words.
“Kahee, did you hear that?”
Hwang Yu-shin looked at Ka-hee who was driving and asked.
“What? Teacher.”
“The sound of Deokmyung’s head rolling. This guy is going to be rich.”
Hwang Yu-shin gave permission with a big smile. It was the last little homework left. I thought you’d be willing to let me.
But Kahi, who was holding the steering wheel, caught my attention.
Looking back, she had a long bag strap, unlike me. Unlike me, who is an undergraduate, she also graduated from graduate school.
As she remembered from the past, she didn’t really have a job.
After marriage, she lived as a housewife.
I remember when I said I wanted to get rich and own a house. At that time, it passed lightly, but it seemed like there was a story that I couldn’t tell.
I decided to ask her again when I had the chance.
We passed the Hadong tollgate.
The house was getting closer.

“You come to visit me in a shabby place.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My mother faced Hwang Yu-shin and said,
I wanted to keep my promises to my parents and treat my teachers nicely.
I brought the teacher into the house.

Mom showed off her skills and prepared a feast for the soul.
There was a lot of luggage to be unloaded from the trunk. Dried persimmons and persimmon vinegar were a gift from Hwang Yu-shin.
The important thing was the dried persimmon hangers. I absolutely had to buy this.
It was a time when there was nothing on the Internet. It was only found in Sangju, where dried persimmons were produced in large quantities.
They sold it only to people they knew.
I bought 300,000 dried persimmon hangers through my teacher.
It was three hundred in cash. I was able to buy it at the original price because I went through the teacher.
Fortunately, I had the seed money.
I had about five hundred of the money I earned while working part-time as a tutor.
After paying three hundred in cash, there was still money left.
As we unloaded our luggage and entered the living room, we heard a loud noise. Father and mother were tasting dried persimmons made by Yushin Hwang.
“Is this really a dried persimmon made from Daebong persimmon?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s really delicious. I didn’t know this until now. That’s great.”
“I am not the one who is great.”
Yushin Hwang pointed at me with a finger.
“It’s great that my friend. He is a child who will thrive in the future.”
I smiled lightly at that. The father thought it was good to hear his son’s praise, so he picked up the one remaining songiju.
It was an enjoyable time. Everyone had a nice drink.
“Isn’t my son going to come to me all the time and say that he wants to become a rich farmer?”
“okay? Did he say that?”

Mom stood up and listened to Hwang Yu-sin. The story flower was in full bloom in the house.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
I asked Ka-hee, who only takes food.
“If you eat, you might want to have a drink.”
“You have a drink too.”
“I have to bring the teacher.”
“it’s okay. You can stay at my house for the night.”
“I also promised Ms. Jung-ah. I will definitely bring you today.”
“okay?”
First of all, it just passed. Because I didn’t want to break the friendly atmosphere. I could sense that she had a problem.
I haven’t been feeling well since arriving home.
Hwang Yu-shin gave a delicious story about the past month. Father and mother enjoyed listening to their son’s performance.
After dinner, it was time to drink tea.

My father called me
“Would you like to talk to me for a moment?”
I thought it was no big deal until my father left the gate.
He roamed the garden in front of the house.
face was stiff.
“What are you trying to say?”
I asked my father in a light tone.
“It’s your request.”
There was only one request. It was a matter of buying persimmons from the locals on credit.
They said there was no problem over the phone. Now the mood was different.
“Is there any problem?”
“That’s the problem with one house. If that house doesn’t do it, I’m worried that other houses will also be affected.”
“Which house is it?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
My parents’ reputation in the neighborhood was good. It was also the reason why I thought credit transactions would be okay.
“That’s it. This is Gahee’s house.”
“yes? At Kahee’s house?”
It was the largest orchard house in town.
As his father said, he had the power to influence other houses as well.
“Why?”
“The gentleman didn’t speak at all… .”
To make dried persimmons, persimmons were absolutely necessary. Credit transaction was an idea that took advantage of the neighborhood. But it was unclear whether everyone would agree.
I had the worst case in mind. At that time, I was preparing a card to use in advance.

Now it was time to take out the card.
terms of the transaction
“Are you going to stay overnight, or just go?”
“Because I might fall into some kind of tangle after a while.”
Yushin Hwang said with a red face. Today, the tiger’s eyebrows looked like a gentle sheep. I turned my gaze to Ka-hee, who was holding the steering wheel.
“Be careful driving.”
“okay.”
“Are you going to pick up the teacher and come to Hadong right away?”
She nodded with an expressionless face.
“I have something to tell you. Call me when you arrive.”
The car carrying Hwang Yu-shin left Hadong.
I saw them off and walked in the opposite direction from the house. I had someone to meet.
There were persimmon trees along the way. It was a season of ripening.
It was time to harvest.
‘Jeonggilsan Orchard.’
I checked the nameplate and looked around. It was an orchard run by Kahee’s father.
As the largest orchard in the village, the main product was Daebong persimmon.
Like a large orchard, there were many products besides Daebonggam. The space for cultivating pears and apple trees was more than 10,000 square meters.
‘No matter what you do, you buy his senses.’
It was unspoken pressure that he refused. The rejection of the number one orchard could affect other orchard farmers as well. That was the reason why I had to buy his persimmon.
I had no intention of going aggressive from the beginning. I was planning to do it. Before meeting him, I toured the orchard to understand the situation.
It was a moment when he nodded his head like Newton as he looked at the ship that had fallen from the tree.
I heard a human voice behind my back.
“Is anyone there?”
It was Jeong Gil-san, the owner of the Jeonggilsan Orchard. It was a long time ago, but I remember seeing it. He looked at me warily.
Jeong Gil-san was a thin, big-eyed man. It was as if big eyes were looking inside me.
“Hello old man. My name is Kim Deok-myung, who lives in this neighborhood.”
“If it’s Kim Deok-myeong, I went to Sangju with Ka-hee.”
“you’re right. Kahi and I have been friends since childhood.”
“I don’t know what’s going on, but to enter someone else’s farm recklessly.”
“sorry. I was looking for an old man.”
“Why are you looking for me?”
“I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me.”
Jeong Gil-san looked into my eyes and said. He knew I went to Sangju with his daughter. As he said those words, his facial muscles trembled slightly.
It was a reaction when I was stressed or nervous.
What kind of reaction he would react if he said he would buy persimmons was obvious.
Still, the ball had to be thrown.
“I want to buy a persimmon.”
“I heard it a while ago. Your father came to visit. As I said back then, I don’t do any credit transactions.”
“Please. I will never waste money.”
“I heard that you plan to make dried persimmons from daebong persimmons. I think the plan itself makes no sense. You cannot sell your persimmons on credit to someone who will only lose money, let alone money. come back.”
It was the reaction I had expected from the beginning. I took out the prepared card.
“Then, if I show you the evidence, would you make a deal with me?”
“evidence?”
“Proof that I can sell things.”
I said, picking up the boat that fell under the tree.
“How do seniors handle scratched fruit?”
“What are you trying to say?”
He looked at me with suspicious eyes.
“Because it is a product that cannot be sold, do you make it with juice or sell it to your acquaintances at a low price?”
“Yes.”
“There are so many fruits like these, don’t you have a lot of trouble every year?”
“Are you going to sell them all?”
“You read my mind. you’re right.”
Jeong Gil-san made a surprised expression. It wasn’t difficult because of the fruit that got scratched every year. The wholesaler who traded wanted only products with good product quality.
As he said, the damaged pears and apples had no choice but to be made into juice or sold at a cheap price.
“You seem to have a natural talent for deceiving people.”
“What do you mean?”
“Aren’t you trying to deceive me as well as my daughter?”
“I never cheated on anyone.”
“Then you mean I can trust you? They said they would sell all the damaged fruit.”
“yes. It is true.”
Jeong Gil-san looked at me in disbelief.
“Well then, that’s fine. There is only one condition.”
“Tell me.”
“As you said, if you sell all the damaged fruits, you do a credit deal. On the other hand, if you do not keep your promise, I have one condition.”
“You tell me.”
“Don’t date my daughter.”
“Could you possibly know the reason?”
“The child will be married next year. I don’t want to cause any misunderstanding.”
“I understand what the old man said. If I can’t keep my promise, I’ll do as I said. But I have one condition. I don’t know how many blemished fruits will come out, but the sale means I’m making a profit along with my labor. If the sale is made as promised, I think you should receive 10-20% of the profit as a brokerage fee. This is not a joke or a bet. I think it’s just a reasonable deal.”
“Just be yourself. what do you do It won’t work out the way you say anyway.”
“You’re assuming it won’t. Then can I get 20% of the brokerage fee?”
“Do whatever you want.”
“thank you.”
I greeted him politely and left the orchard. He looked at me disapprovingly until the last minute.
It was a face that would never be what I said.

On the way home, I organized the order of things first.
‘Even in order to buy persimmons, we have to hurry up our preparations.’
According to the original plan, I was going to go to Seoul a week later. But now things have changed. It was necessary to act immediately.
After dinner, I told my parents that I would go to Seoul. I didn’t forget to tell them not to worry as it won’t take long.
I also had to talk to Kahi. At that moment, Gahee got a phone call saying that even a tiger would come if I told her.
“I’m here. But what to say? You can’t do it tomorrow. I’m a little tired today.”
“I met your father today. I want to talk about it.”
When the word “father” came out, the fatigue seemed to have disappeared. Rather, he pushed the time to meet immediately.
I wondered what my father and I had been talking about.
We met at the pavilion in front of the town hall. It was late so no one was there.
“What the hell were you talking about with your father?”
He looked a little more excited than usual.
“What is so urgent?”
“I wonder what you two said.”
“I told you that I would sell hard-to-treat fruits in the orchard instead.”
“You mean the scratched fruit?”
