Chungshim Confectionery staff making bread for trainees of Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center.
Chungshim Confectionery are in charge of the morning of Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center. We went to meet the people who make fresh and delicious Chungshim Bread, everyday, for members at Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center. Section manager Gae-chun Lee and Manager In-suk Choe are the main staff of Chungshim Confectionery.
The day for Chungshim Confectionery starts with a prayer at Jeongshim Won (Prayer Hall) at 7:30 am. After watching trainees eating the bread, deliciously, that were delivered the night before, they go to the factory around 8:00 am.
As soon as they arrive at the factory, located nearby, they find out how many members will be at Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center tomorrow morning. Then before starting on making the bread, centering on Manager Choe, the staff have a quick 5 minute meeting for the day's schedule. Section manager Lee and Manager Choe have been working together, side by side, for over 6 years.
By the end of the day, the factory is filled with the smell of freshly baked bread and by 7 o'clock in the evening their job is mostly done. Their work usually ends after delivering the bread to Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center, however, sometimes when there are more members than expected, they have to work all night.
Section manager Lee says 'sincere devotion' is the most important aspect when baking bread. He is really careful to the smallest detail when baking the bread. After long research over the years, they were able to make Chungshim Bread (Well-being bread), full of nutrients without using much oil and fat.
Meanwhile, Manager Lee is famous for his seriousness and modesty. To the question, 'Isn't the work too hard?' he smiled, embarrassingly, 'I work hard always keeping Dae Mo Nim's words of work with the heart of sacrifice and dedication'.
At Chungshim Confectionery, not only they make Chungshim Bread but they also make cakes for events held at Cheon Jeong Gung Museum and Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center. It's not easy to make cakes but the most difficult part is the delivery. The slightest movement, during delivery can alter the shape of the cake.
'If the cake collapses during delivery we have to return to the factory and bake another one. That's why our job isn't done until we deliver it safely to its destination.'
There is one memorable episode still been remembered until to this day. A few years back there was a phone call at 10 o'clock in the evening. A urgent message requesting a 5 leveled cake to be delivered the next day for True Parents sudden event.
Usually, a 5 leveled cake takes at least 3 days to be made. And they only had several hours until the next morning. For that reason, a hotel in Seoul declined their request. However, Chungshim Confectionery, immediately started baking a 5 leveled cake for True Parents. The cake was delivered to the event hall at 5 am, next morning, just in time for the event held with True Parents.
With responsibility and a goal to bake the best quality bread, the staff of Chungshim confectionery continues with their work.
'To bake a better taste and healthy bread is our goal. It's our dream to bake Chungshim bread everyday for our members'
