"These plum blossom pastries are so exquisite, and they taste amazing. I've never had such delicious pastries before," a young woman said, holding a plum blossom pastry with obvious delight.

The commune secretary also attended the tasting event. Looking at the dazzling array of intangible cultural heritage delicacies on the table and listening to everyone's praises, he smiled with satisfaction: "Comrade Lin Wanqiu, what you've done is very meaningful! These traditional foods are treasures of our nation. Your ability to unearth and pass them on not only enriches everyone's dining table but also contributes to the economic development of our commune. The commune will definitely give you its full support!"

With the affirmation and support of the commune secretary, Lin Wanqiu's confidence grew even stronger. She knew that the launch of the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Food Inheritance" project was just the beginning, and she still had a long way to go.

After the tasting event, Lin Wanqiu's intangible cultural heritage delicacies received unanimous praise, and orders poured in. The food workshop's workers worked overtime, but demand still couldn't meet the supply. Lin Wanqiu realized that the food workshop's existing production capacity was simply insufficient to meet market demand. Moreover, some traditional delicacies involved complex production processes requiring significant manpower and time, making large-scale production difficult with only the workshop's workers.

At this moment, Shen Tingzhou reminded him, "Late Autumn, I remember there are several time-honored workshops in the county town. They have many years of production experience and mature sales channels, but in recent years, due to poor management, their business has not been very good. Why don't you consider cooperating with them to launch co-branded products? This way, we can expand the scale of production and leverage their brand influence to help our intangible cultural heritage food reach further."

Lin Wanqiu's eyes lit up; Shen Tingzhou's words had enlightened her. She recalled that when she went to the county town to purchase goods, she had indeed seen several time-honored workshops, such as "Fuyuanzhai" and "Laoshunxing." These workshops had high local reputations, but they had gradually been eliminated by the market due to their limited product range and lack of innovation. If she could cooperate with these established workshops, combining the traditional food recipes she had discovered with their production experience and sales channels, she was sure to achieve a win-win situation.

"Tingzhou, you're absolutely right!" Lin Wanqiu said excitedly. "I'll go to the county town tomorrow to visit the owners of those time-honored workshops and discuss cooperation."

Seeing the gleam in her eyes, Shen Tingzhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. It'll be good to have someone to look after you on the way."

As night deepened, the Hongqi Production Brigade was enveloped in tranquility. Lin Wanqiu stood in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky, her heart filled with anticipation. She knew that the collaboration with the time-honored workshop was a crucial step in the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Food Preservation" project, and a key to the food workshop's growth and expansion. She believed that with her own efforts and everyone's support, these precious traditional delicacies would surely be revitalized and reach a wider market, and she, too, would forge her own path to a brilliant future in the preservation of intangible cultural heritage.

At that moment, she was unaware that this collaboration with the time-honored workshop would not only bring her tremendous opportunities but also numerous challenges. However, she was fully prepared; no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, she would forge ahead bravely, for her dreams, for those precious traditional delicacies, and for the people she loved and who loved her.
