chapter 28
Unless there is a special problem, there is nothing to see with her.
It was a conversation we had for a long time.
[Thanks so far]
[Thanks, I enjoyed it too]
she smiled brightly. It felt different from when we first met. At that time, he was a person who refused unconditionally.

Now he has turned into a teacher who is like a friend.
[Even if I can’t do anything else, I will often tell you about my mother]
She couldn’t hold her pen.
Before coming here, I met Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother.
Grandma’s eyes were wet.
It was just saying goodbye.
[Thanks, but I’d rather not do that]

On the one hand, her heart was understood. He was a person who had broken ties with the world.

Now he will return to the seat of a nun.
[I said something wrong. sorry]
[no. I will be grateful for your words]
I got out of the car with her. greeted me
It was the last goodbye.
It was time for her to turn around and leave.
I pulled out my backpack from the car and ran to her.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Master Maehwa looked at me with surprised eyes.
[Is there more business left?]
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Monk Maehwa wrote in the notebook hung around his neck.
[Maehwa Monk has no business any more]
[But why are you following me?]
[The branch has a business]
I climbed the mountain with her. When I first visited this place, it was midwinter, but now there is a lot of green energy everywhere.
With a refreshing feeling, the footsteps to the Jijangsa Temple were enjoyable.
I did not have a conversation with Maehwa.
Even if they walked the same path, their hearts were headed in different places.

arrived at the foreman. The secretariat was greeted with a friendly face.
“Can I see the Master Master?”
“just a moment. Let me tell you.”
While waiting in the office for a while, an interesting scene caught my eye.
It was a wax candle. Just like the Mongdang Pencil, he was using the remaining candles until the very end.
The secretary general guided us to the place where the head monk was.
The governor’s room was filled with the scent of tea, as always.
“Long time no see. How were you?”
she asked with a happy face.
“I am doing very well.”
“Sit down.”
There was tea on the table.
“I have heard that you are doing very well.”
“It’s all thanks to the governor.”
“Now I know that the promised time is over.”
“Monk Maehwa has suffered a lot.”
In my mind, life at Jijangsa passed like a lantern.
The first person to introduce Monk Maehwa was Master Juji.
“Looking at your face, it seems that you didn’t just come to say thank you.”
she said as she picked up the car.
Also, the governor had a unique sense of humor.
“Master Ju Ji has a talent for looking into people’s hearts. you’re right. Today, I have a business to discuss with the governor, so I visited him.”
“I’m curious if you want to discuss it with me.”
I took a sip of tea. The aroma was deep and mellow.
It felt like my head was clear.
“As you know, Jijangsa’s beekeeping has a long tradition and history.”
“It’s been a long time since I was a great monk.”
“I want to have a brand of a branch company.”
“What would you like to have?”
she asked with a surprised face.
“I learned the art of beekeeping from Jijangsa Temple. Not only that, but the chief’s punishment was also sold. If you think of it as revealing that fact, you will understand quickly.”
She seemed lost in thought for a moment.
“What level of detail do you mean by revealing that fact?”
“I am planning to apply for a trademark called Jijangsa Honey. It is to reveal that the honey is produced by the farmer who inherited the beekeeping of Jijangsa. This is what I want.”
“What benefit will Deokmyung have if he reveals that fact?”
The governor looked straight into my eyes and asked.
It was an eye that wanted to look into the heart.
“The beekeeping of Jijangsa is not yet known to the public. Only a few experts know. One day, the general public will know.”
“When that time comes, it will be of great benefit to Mr. Deokmyeong.”
What she said was correct.
In the future to come, Jizo Honey will become famous.
As Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother is introduced through the broadcast, the public’s attention will naturally be drawn to the janitor’s honey.
“I know what Kim Deok-myeong wants. But a temple is a place of discipline. This is not a place to do business.”
As she said, Jijangsa is not a place for business.

No matter how famous Jijangsa Honey became, there was no way to buy it.
The only way is through a shopping mall run by farmer Kim Deok-myung.
I was the only farmer who passed on the art of beekeeping and beekeeping. However, it was not enough to learn beekeeping techniques here.
I had to have a brand.
“I don’t mean to do business with the branch manager. Just citing the source. In exchange for borrowing the name, I plan to donate to Jijangsa every year.”
“It’s also a business. You cannot take money.”
The governor said firmly.
“It’s not money.”
“Isn’t it money?”
When she said it wasn’t money, her eyes widened.
“It is a necessary item for the branch office.”
I took something out of my bag and put it on the table. The chief priest picked it up.
“It’s a wax candle.”
It was something Gahee had asked for. She made candles and soap at Jijang Temple.
It is recommended that you take an in-depth course while beekeeping. In particular, when it comes to candles, he asked me to become an expert.
She lived up to expectations. After the beekeeping work, he devoted himself to making candles.
The thing in his hand was a special candle. It was an object made of wax made by the Jizo Bee.
“This candle is made from the wax we have harvested.”
The governor looked admiring the candle.
It was the look I wanted.
When I entered the monk’s room, I saw a candle placed on the candlestick. She too was using wax candles sparingly.
“Kim Deok-myeong has a talent for attracting people.”
The governor said, holding the wax candle in one hand.
I pulled out all the wax candles from my bag.
“I’ll give you more as soon as the next thing is produced.”
“Like you said, I only use the name of Jijangsa Honey. If it causes damage to the jihadist, you should be prepared.”
“of course.”
I took out the documents I had prepared.
It was okay to use a name.
The governor carefully checked and stamped the documents.
“Is the business over now?”
The governor asked in a cautious tone.
“I would like to send samples to other temples as well. It would be good if the governor would recommend it.”
“Mr. Kim Deok-myeong is more like a businessman than a farmer.”
“The days of being a farmer and producing only agricultural products are over. I believe that you need to be able to promote and sell your own products to be a true farmer.”
She smiled and nodded her head.
I got the brand I wanted.
In addition, it even pioneered a market for beeswax candles.

Now the only thing left to do is sell things.
shift the focus of the topic
“I would like to introduce today’s guest. You are also the oldest winner of the New Year’s Literature Prize. We will bring Poet Kim Kkotnim to the studio. welcome.”
At the announcer’s words, Grandma Kim Kkotnim came out to the studio.
It was a morning broadcast called ‘Everyday With You’ hosted by announcer Kim Young-mi.
“I heard you came from afar.”
“I’m from Hadong.”
At the announcer’s words, Grandma Kim said with a smile.
“Today’s theme is ‘Poet’s Cooking’.”
As the announcer’s words fell, the audience cheered.
“I heard that Poet Kim Kkotnim prepared a very special meal today.”
“Yes, it is a very special dish.”
“What kind of food?”
“It is a medicine made in a traditional way.”
“Is this medicine made in the traditional way? Is it different from what is on the market?”
“My yakgwa is made by pickling it with honey.”
“No, you say you make yakgwa by pickling honey? I’m really curious what it tastes like. Now, let’s make the food the poet loves.”
A sweet smell wafted through the studio.
“Really, you add honey when you knead the dough.”
“This honey is the secret of medicine and taste.”
At the announcer’s question, Grandma Kim said with a smile.
Kim Kkot-nim, following the traditional method, fried the dough in sesame oil.
The scent of honey and the fragrant smell of fried chicken stimulated the salivary glands.
Finally, the fried dough was pickled in Jocheong to make Yakgwa.
The audience, including the announcer, also had their taste buds.
“Can I taste one?”
Announcer Kim Young-mi asked while looking at the medicine made in the shape of a flower.
“sure. Feel free to taste it.”
The staff came out and handed out medicines to the audience.
“Wow, this is so delicious.”
“I’m glad it’s delicious.”
“I thought it was really sweet. I watch the honey go into the dough. However, I was surprised that it wasn’t as sweet as I thought. It has a pleasant sweet taste.”
It wasn’t an exaggerated expression. The audience nodded their heads as if in agreement with their admirable faces.
“The poet said the secret is in honey, but what kind of honey is this?”
“It’s honey that my daughter picked herself.”
Behind the studio, a picture appeared on the screen.
It was a picture taken together by Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother and Mae-hwa.
It was a picture before I became a nuns.
“Your daughter is really beautiful. But are you raising bees as a profession?”
“Beekeeping is a hobby.”
“Oh, I see. So what are you doing now?”
“I went out.”
“Then, are you a monk?”

Not only the announcer but also the audience all looked surprised.
* * *
The broadcast went out and the bulletin board on the Internet was set on fire.
– Honey-picking nun, is she a fairy living in the mountains?
– The secret to the taste of Yak-gwa is honey.
– Traditional medicine and where to get it?
– I had no idea that there were temples where only nuns live.
-Where do you get honey from the show?
– The secret to beauty is honey?
Reporter Bae Seon-ah of a Korean newspaper was also watching the bulletin board carefully.
“What are you looking at like that?”
Bae Seon-ah’s shooter Kim Man-seok asked.
“Senior, don’t you think this is going to be an article?”
Kim Man-seok also looked carefully at the bulletin board.
“You did a great job on the morning show. It’s a poet’s dish, but why is the reaction so hot? Can I see a picture of a woman beekeeper?”
“Wait.”
Bae Seon-ah found the picture that was on the show.
“This is a picture, and the character is good.”
“Isn’t that the way you think?”
“Where is the temple located?”
“It didn’t show up on TV.”
“Bingo, haven’t you eaten anywhere else yet?”
“Shall we move now?”
“Is there any problem with finding the material?”
“I have an acquaintance at the broadcasting station. You will find out if you ask me.”
“Yeah, it’s Bae Jihya. Don’t forget your camera when you go.”
“Yes, then I will.”
Bae Seon-ah left the newspaper.
It was not difficult to grasp the whereabouts of Monk Maehwa.
Bae Seon-ah headed to Jijangsa Temple where Maehwa monk was.
* * *
It was four days after the article was published that Bae Seon-ah received a call.
A lot of things happened over the course of four days.
After the first report, Monk Maehwa drew the public’s attention.
She didn’t respond to people’s attention. He also refused to investigate.
The reporters soon switched the topic to the nuns of the Jijangsa.
It was focused on the appearance of the young people of Jijangsa.
Reporters pointed out that the secret to youth is honey.
It was said that honey made with Jijangsa’s beekeeping technique is the secret to longevity.
When the article was published, the governor of the branch banned reporters from entering the temple.
When the coverage was banned, people showed more interest in Jijangsa’s honey.
The topic was going from Monk Maehwa to the nuns of the Jijangsa, and the honey of the Jijangsa.
Jijangsa honey became the center of attention, but people did not even see the beehive, let alone honey.
