It was in April 1961 when President
Estimating qualities of dishes displayed in its counter, the President taught with parental love the detailed solutions to improve the people’s dietary life.
Officials and saleswomen of the shop were moved by the President who worried so much about the people’s dietary life even though he was busy with field guidance.
Half an hour passed since the President left the shop.
An official rushed to the shop and told a saleswoman that the President wanted the thirteenth container among those displayed in the counter.
The saleswoman had been working at the shop for a long time but she didn’t know which the thirteenth container was and what there was in it. Being embarrassed, she started to count the containers.
She was much surprised. In the container there was peppered bean paste which the President had highly appreciated. Saying that they suffered from shortage of salt in the period of the anti-Japanese armed struggle, the President told officials to produce peppered bean paste and the like in large amount and supply them to the people.
Worrying much about the people’s dietary life, the President remembered every dish in every container which the saleswoman could not do even though she had worked at the shop for a long time.
