Kim Cheol-soo got off at the bus stop around 10 p.m. and saw Young-su walking towards him while looking at something in the dark night street.
“Youngsu!”
At Kim Cheol-soo’s shout, Yeong-su came running, waving his hand.
“Uh, brother.”
“Don’t look at things like that in the dark. It will hurt your eyes.”
“I do it because it’s fun.”
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone say that studying is fun.”
At those words, Youngsu rubbed his mustache with one finger and said.
“Ehe. There’s still a long way to go to catch up.”
“Why are you so far away? My brother sometimes came in first place.”
“If my brother had studied, he would have been first in the whole school, right? That’s because he did music instead of studying. Even my father, who passed away, only told my brother that it was poisonous. He risked his life. Even if he vomited blood or got a vocal cord nodule, he wouldn’t stop. “I was so scared when I was playing music. I still have a long way to go. I have a long way to go to keep up with my brother.”
Cheolsu chuckled at Yeongsu’s words. Then he said while looking at Youngsu’s beard.
“You need to shave.”
“why?”
“Don’t girls hate it?”
“You say it’s cute? And they say that if you shave it early, it will become thick and hard. You should shave it later when you get a girlfriend. But doesn’t your brother have a girlfriend?”
“does not exist.”
“Well, I always get off work this late, so I guess I’ll have time to meet a girl. Just do it in moderation.”
When the two entered the house, a fragrant smell filled the house.
“I am hungry!”
Youngsu quickly took off his shoes and went inside, and Cheolsu also took off his shoes and went inside.
“Are you here? Sons?”
Jinsook Yoon was boiling something in a large pot.
“Uh. What are you doing?”
“Chicken stew. My uncle sent it to me. It’s a chicken raised nearby, so I told you guys to take care of it.”
“Are you sure you’ve settled there now?”
“It seemed like that. He said he was quitting his job in Seoul and returning home.”
“The only one who takes care of us is my uncle.”
When Cheolsu came out after washing up, the chicken was completely boiled without any fat and its belly was wide open.
When the sons sat down, Yoon Jin-sook tore off two large chicken legs and gave them one to each son.
“thank you for this food.”
Youngsu took a big bite of chicken. However, Kim Cheol-soo gave the chicken leg that was in his bowl to Yoon Jin-sook.
“Mom. You can’t eat soft meat, can you?”
At those words, Yoon Jin-sook shook her head and pushed the chicken leg again to give it to Kim Cheol-soo, but Kim Cheol-soo’s hand blocked it.
“The water cup next to Mom. I keep drinking it because it doesn’t go down easily. And the softness is my taste.”
After arguing with the chicken leg for a while, Jinsook Yoon raised both hands.
“What kind of stubbornness are you?”
“Because lunch and dinner are served frequently at work. Let’s take care of Yeongsu with Mom first.”
Kim Cheol-soo put on plastic gloves and began to dismantle the well-boiled chicken one by one and apply the flesh.
“Mom did it.”
“Stay still. If you move your hands while working all day, won’t it hurt? Mom, if your hands get sick, our whole family will be in trouble.”
Youngsu also said something next to him.
“Let him do it, Mom. If he can’t do what he wants to do, he’ll be in trouble.”
“These guys…”
Kim Cheol-su asked while rubbing the chicken flesh.
“What kind of chicken doesn’t have any fat?”
“My uncle said that the person who raises the chickens makes the feed himself.”
“Uh… really?”
‘feed?’
Now that I think about it, it seemed to be bigger than an average chicken.
Should I say that the texture of the meat is firm rather than soft?
If it hadn’t been boiled for a long time, it would have been tough.
Youngsu, who had eaten almost all of the chicken by himself, stuck out his bulging stomach and continued to breathe, leaning against the closet as if he was having a hard time.
“I told you to eat small.”
Yeongsu laughed at Cheolsu’s words, saying ‘hihihi’, then got up and went outside.
Cheolsu turned on the computer and checked the stock situation.
The first number of the stock account total went up from 2 to 3, and the corners of Kim Cheol-soo’s mouth also went up. Among shipping stocks, there were some that hit the upper limit.
‘Great atmosphere!’
Kim Cheol-soo turned off the stock trading system and started searching for ‘chicken’ on the Internet.

Meeting time the next morning.
“I want to visit Cheongwon in North Chungcheong Province today.”
Ahn Jung-gyu asked Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
“Why are you there?”
“After doing some research, I found that there was a poultry farm that made its own feed and raised it.”
“Do you make your own feed?”
“Yes. It hasn’t been revealed exactly what kind of feed it is, but I think it will be easy to persuade buyers if it contains Australian wheat.”
Kim Cheol-soo said that and took out two photos printed in color.

“Once you look at it, you will see that there is a big difference in body size between the two individuals.”
All team members nodded at the two photos, which were clearly of different sizes.
“And they’re both leghorn breeds, aka egg-laying chickens.”
Pyo Il-soo’s eyes widened at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
“Is there such a difference? What on earth did you feed them?”
“Is that so? If you look closely, they look the same?”
“But aren’t the fighting cocks used in the Philippines a different breed?”
“Yes. It’s a Shamo breed, and when I looked it up, it said it likes brown rice and wheat. And aren’t all chickens actually similar?”
“Well, that’s right.”
Rather than bringing APWW samples and reports, it was much easier to persuade buyers by showing examples of noticeable differences when using the samples.
Ahn Jeong-gyu said while nodding his head while looking at the photos that Kim Cheol-soo held out.
“What would you do if you went and didn’t feed APWW?”
Kim Cheol-soo knew the answer, but it was too high-level for a new employee to say.
“I’ll look for something else.”
Pyo Il-soo and Lee Jun-hak laughed at those words.
Ahn Jeong-gyu looked at Kim Cheol-soo, who looked like he couldn’t tell how many snakes he had eaten, but always showed off as a new employee at situations like this, and thought that he couldn’t really get a sense of what was real.
“Why are you looking for something else? You should package it in a useful way.”
“What if it’s packaging?”
“There is no royal road to sales. To get a contract, you have to be an actor, a gambler, or a conman. Of course, this is assuming that the contract is a good offer for both trading parties.”
Kim Cheol-soo deliberately scratched his head and looked at his teammate. Lee Jun-hak responded.
“Even if the chicken in this photo didn’t eat APWW, create data as if it did. You won’t be asked where the passing photo came from anyway. However, that photo will remain in your mind and play an important role in decision-making.”
“Ah! Is it okay if I do that?”
“It has even been reported in papers that chickens that eat plant protein grow bigger and have more muscle mass. However, they just don’t feed it because the feed is expensive. It’s amazing that they even thought of using it as cockfighting feed. It’s not a problem.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu quietly watched Lee Jun-hak pour out a lot of advice to Kim Cheol-soo, which was different from usual.
‘Rather, it’s about the guy who needs to be kept in check. ‘What are you thinking?’
Ahn Jeong-gyu made it a habit to check the facial expressions of his team members once every one to two minutes, and he had a habit of carefully observing minor actions, unintentional actions, and habits of his subordinates.
It wasn’t like that from the beginning, but I intentionally developed that habit after hearing the story about ‘baboons’ on Animal World.
Baboons observe the alpha male every 20 to 30 seconds to prepare for future threats or troublesome events. As Ahn Jeong-gyu acquired this habit, he reached the point where he could automatically assess the status of his subordinates without expending much energy. .
And over the past few days, I think Lee Jun-hak’s attitude towards Kim Cheol-soo has become quite friendly.
“That’s right. This assistant manager continues to assist with work like that.”
“Yes, team leader.”
“The water is gone. It would be better if APWW is included in the feed used there.”
Cheolsu Kim answered loudly.
“Yes, team leader!”
**
Kim Cheol-soo sorted out all the emails he received in the morning, made the necessary contacts, then rented a car and headed to Cheongwon, North Chungcheong Province.
Lee Jun-hak did not give an exact answer during the drinking session, but from his actions, it was clear that he was torn between Joo-won and the newly created large-scale project team.
Kim Cheol-su thought that Lee Jun-hak had seen a little further ahead.
As we exited the section leading to Seocho on the Gyeongbu Expressway, which was filled with vehicles, the vehicle’s speed slowly began to increase.
The air heated under the hot sun made a hissing noise as it hit the car, and the wind blew through the open window, blowing away the heat.
The sweat that had formed on the bridge of my nose due to the broken air conditioner was blown away by the wind.
‘Phew, I feel better now.’
I guess I have a lot of regrets
– Selling eggs.
The owner of the poultry farm was running a gas station as a side job, and the sign saying eggs were sold at the gas station looked a bit strange.
There was a small empty space between the owner’s house and the gas station office, and some eggs for sale were piled up there.
Since it was a rural area, there wasn’t much traffic, so I wondered if the eggs piled up there would be sold, and a car that had just pulled in bought a carton of eggs while refueling.
Kim Cheol-soo captured every single such scene in his eyes.
I was able to tour the poultry farm with the help of my uncle, Yoon Jeong-ho, who works at the gas station that the poultry farm owner also runs.
Kim Wang-sam, the owner of the poultry farm, was in his late 50s and looked much older than his age.
He was dressed sloppily, had tanned skin, had a lot of wrinkles, and had sports hair, but he had a lot of gray hair, so it looked like that.
“Can you tell me how to make the feed?”
The population of chickens was about 300, and instead of being raised in a chicken coop, they were free-ranging in a fenced area behind the chickens inherited from their parents.
“What is the feed made from?”
Kim Wang-sam looked troubled by Cheolsu’s question.
“Why should I teach you that? Well, feel free to look around.”
Kim Wang-sam was not very pleased with Kim Cheol-soo, who appeared in a suit.
This is because I remembered all the times I had been treated and deceived by tailors while doing business.
Although he agreed because Yoon Jeong-ho worked hard at the gas station he ran, he was wary of how the suit guys might hit him in the back.
Kim Wang-sam scooped up several bowls of feed from the crock pot, went inside the fence and sprinkled it on the ground, and Kim Cheol-soo captured them on camera.
The chickens raised here were certainly large in size and showed quite agile movements. The roots seemed to have been added in addition to grains, as they had a blue tint to the color of the feed.
‘I guess he thinks his know-how is being taken away.’
“You guys! Eat quickly, grow up quickly, and make money!”
Kim Wang-sam sprinkled the food while rhyming, and Kim Cheol-soo looked away and remembered the small sign posted in front of the gas station.
Although it is now small and small, the mountain behind Kim Wang-sam was very large.
If you continue to raise chickens, the space in the back hill is large enough to accommodate thousands of chickens.
Since there was no sales outlet yet, it seemed that local people who came to get gas would buy the eggs.
When I looked at the price, it seemed to be twice as expensive as a regular egg, but seeing as there was a demand for it, I guess I guess the taste of the eggs was pretty good.
Kim Cheol-su approached Kim Wang-sam.
“Is there something I can help you with?”
“it’s okay.”
“Ah, but I think I should help you with something and take a look around.”
Kim Wang-sam’s heart weakened again when he saw Kim Cheol-soo smiling brightly and behaving kindly no matter how many times he rejected him.
“Okay. Do you see the tin over there? Bring some of the feed from the jar.”
Wangsam Kim took a long time to evenly distribute feed throughout the area where he was reared.
“If you leave the feed container in one place, won’t the chickens eat on their own?”
“Then you can’t be lazy. You have to keep them moving. That way they will be healthy, and because they are healthy, they will lay good eggs.”
“Do you think the eggs taste different?”
“Okay. It doesn’t smell fishy at all. They say it’s okay for kids who are allergic to eggs to eat it.”
“Oh I see.”
As Kim Cheol-soo continued to hit the horse’s janggu and kept guessing, Kim Wang-sam felt the pleasure of speaking for the first time in a long time.
It felt a bit different from working quietly alone.
Maybe that’s why I developed a crush on Kim Cheol-soo, who followed me around while sweating profusely in a suit under the sun.
“My uncle sent me some meat and I ate it, and it was amazing.”
Kim Wang-sam smiled and nodded at Kim Cheol-soo’s praise.
“It’s not easy to eat. I’m going to sell the meat later, so I need to get 50,000 won per animal.”
“Does it sell even though it’s that expensive?”
“Of course. It takes a lot of work. People in this neighborhood who have eaten our chicken always ask me when I get the chicken.”
Kim Wang-sam said proudly.
‘A chicken costs 50,000 won, but it’s being sold in a rural town like this?’
“It seems like the process of making feed is difficult.”
When the topic of historical materials came up again, Kim Wang-sam secretly looked at Kim Cheol-soo.
“Why are you so interested in feed? Are you going to raise chickens?”
“Haha. How do I raise something like that? I think chicken of this quality can be sold at the food counter in department stores.”
“It is difficult to raise a lot of chickens because the method of making feed is complicated. And they are raised for eggs, not for meat.”
Now that I think about it, it seems like Kim Wang-sam has been working alone all this time.
“Oh, I see. If we hire more people, we can expand easily.”
“There are so many thieves. I can’t believe it.”
“I see. Then how about filing a patent?”
Wang Sam Kim’s eyes widened at the word patent.
“Patent? What is it?”
Cheolsu Kim spoke in detail about patents.
“Truly? If I register it, I can make all the people who stole my feed recipe vomit out?”
“sure.”
“Do you want to wake up?”
“If you go to the patent attorney’s office in town, they will tell you better. Although it may cost some money.”
“You mean a patent attorney?”
“yes.”
Kim Wang-sam thought over the word patent attorney several times, then looked at Kim Cheol-soo and said.
“Thanks for the good information. But why do you want to know how to make feed?”
“Oh, I don’t want to know everything. I’m just curious if you use wheat grains.”
“Of course we should use it. Brown rice and wheat are the basics.”
“Then can you tell me just what product you used?”
“What was it…”
Kim Wang-sam hesitated, then told Kim Cheol-su to follow him.
He then opened a small warehouse and showed the sacks piled up there.
“Well, it’s in English.”
Kim Cheol-soo said with a grin after seeing the wheat sack.
“Thank you. Can I take a picture?”
“That’s right. That’s not what’s important anyway.”
Kim Cheol-soo captured the wheat bag on camera and thanked Kim Wang-sam several times.
“Well, human life is all about giving and receiving. As long as it’s not something you want to receive without giving, I like everything. Come in, have some coffee, and then leave. There are also steamed eggs.”
