Jinjiang genuine 43
Future Technology Corporation.
Pan Heng entered the VIP elevator carrying a large food box in one hand, which caused a lot of discussion among the employees.
"Mr. Fu's food box has been upgraded again?"
"Oh my god, this is too sumptuous. Such a big food box, and two of them. I'm so envious."
"Hiss, one of them looks a little familiar..."
"That seal seems to be from Huajianji?"
"That makes me want some tea.
I went there once the day before yesterday and couldn't forget the taste. I'll try it another day. I heard that the set menu is different every day. "
Amid the employees' discussions, Pan Heng moved quickly and pressed the top button.
A hint of osmanthus fragrance wafted out from the food box, gradually filling the entire elevator.
Smelling this tempting sweet fragrance, he couldn't help swallowing and thought to himself: "Isn't it from Huajianji?"
The intern assistant went to make the reservation early in the morning, picked it up at 11 o'clock, and then sent it to the villa's kitchen for the chef to steam it.
After it was done, I quickly put it on a plate and asked the driver who was waiting downstairs to deliver it along with the nutritious lunch and soup. It was still hot now.
Pan Heng entered the president's office and placed two large food boxes on the small table.
Because he walked so fast, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
As soon as you open the food box from Huajianji, the sweet osmanthus fragrance becomes more and more intense, and the aroma goes straight into your nose, making you salivate.
As he took a deep sniff and brought out all the snacks, his saliva began to be secreted unconsciously.
It was really fragrant. He could feel the scent of osmanthus spreading for ten miles.
I don’t know how the pastry chef at Huajianji manages to fully bring out the fragrance of osmanthus and thoroughly integrate it into the pastries. The scattered osmanthus flowers are bright in color and fragrant, and one bite is filled with the floral aroma. The taste is perfect.
There is a master chef in Mr. Fu’s private kitchen who has been making pastries for decades and has won many awards. Unfortunately, he still lost to such a taste.
It is truly a unique feature.
Even Mr. Fu, who has always been a picky eater, has become more regular in his diet recently.
This is cause for celebration.
After arranging the snacks in order and pouring the tea into the cups, Pan Heng went to report.
"Mr. Fu, today's tea snacks offered by Huajianji are: a tray of 6 osmanthus water chestnut cakes, a tray of 8 traditional osmanthus cakes, a plate of cold lotus root slices, and a drink - Luoshen osmanthus drink."
"To ensure the taste, you'd better eat it while it's hot."
"Yeah." Fu Yunze shifted his gaze away from the computer screen, raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, and lightly closed his eyes to relieve the dryness of his eyes.
The light shone on his cold eyebrows and eyes, making them appear more three-dimensional. His skin was cold and white, and his features were finely carved, revealing full elegance and dignity.
He took a deep breath, and the scent of osmanthus lingered in his nose, gradually diluting the fatigue and boredom from work.
It seemed that everything related to her had a flavor that made him addicted.
It is also a great remedy for headaches and stress.
"You can take the other one and divide it among yourself."
Fu Yunze came out of the bathroom, wiped his hands with a tissue, lowered his eyes and put down his rolled-up sleeves, and his expensive watch flashed with the movement.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu!" This was what Pan Heng was waiting for and he happily took away the remaining pastries.
Each person is limited to two portions of Huajianji's special tea snacks, so of course the quota cannot be wasted. Mr. Fu will not treat his subordinates unfairly, so he directly asked the chef to steam two portions together.
It was worth it for him to carry such a heavy food box up.
The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which was cooked slowly with broth, was now placed aside in disregard, and what was placed in front of Fu Yunze was some fragrant snacks.
The black sandalwood chopsticks inlaid with gold edges picked up a piece of osmanthus water chestnut cake.
The cake is crystal clear and shaped like rose petals. You can see tiny pieces of water chestnuts and golden osmanthus flowers melted inside.
After taking a bite, the sweet fragrance of osmanthus and the crispness of water chestnuts mix together to create a wonderful experience.
The osmanthus water chestnut cake at Huajianji is not made with water chestnut powder alone, but with fresh water chestnuts that are peeled and cut into extremely fine crumbs and added to the cake.
Only in this way will the crisp taste be more obvious.
However, it is very laborious to make, and ordinary pastry chefs would not do this.
This further proves that Huajianji’s pastries are unique and exquisite.
The osmanthus cake is still so soft and delicate. It is made using an ancient method that has been passed down for more than 300 years and goes through 18 processes to achieve an authentic taste.
The full fragrance of osmanthus fills the mouth, the fragrance of osmanthus and the fragrance of rice are combined just right, snow-white and soft, with endless charm.
Fu Yunze's dining manners were standard enough for a banquet, but his speed was not slow at all.
The pastries on the plate were decreasing piece by piece, which was very different from the usual state where Pan Heng had to urge and invite people for meals.
If others were here, they would definitely be surprised. How can one maintain an elegant dining posture and eat so quickly?
You can't have both.
But it does not seem out of place when applied to the prince of the noble Fu family.
Another room.
Fu Yunze's eight assistants stared at the steaming pastry and started distributing it eagerly.
"Osmanthus cake is 8 yuan, one yuan per person is just right, and osmanthus water chestnut cake is 6 yuan, how do we divide it? The old rules, how about playing rock-paper-scissors?"
"Can."
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors then."
So, for a piece of cake, the eight elites carefully observed each other's facial expressions and quickly thought about their opponents' daily habits during the competition to decide whether to use scissors, rock, or paper.
"I won."
Pan Heng won the first round. He lost his reserve and couldn’t wait to put his spoils into his mouth.
The combination of finely chopped water chestnuts and rich osmanthus fragrance has the rich aroma of osmanthus while retaining the crispness, smoothness and deliciousness of water chestnut cake. The taste is simply wonderful.
Compared with the softness of osmanthus cake, it is another kind of enjoyment.
There was only one piece of pastry, and Pan Heng savored it slowly.
The more you taste it, the more you can feel the delicacy and skill that goes into making the pastry. It is definitely not a taste that an ordinary pastry chef can make.
"20 slices of cold lotus root, two slices per person, and the remaining pieces are the same. Let's play rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets which slice."
Pan Heng was very lucky today and won twice.
He picked up a piece of white lotus root of even thickness with chopsticks.
The lotus root slices are cut very thinly, showing the chef's excellent knife skills. The holes are even and the color is as white as jade. It does not have the roughness of ordinary lotus roots. You can tell that they are excellent just from the appearance.
As soon as you take a bite, the fragrance of the lotus root comes out all at once. It is crispy, tough, slightly sour, and very refreshing.
Even the simplest way of cooking it cold is so delicious that it will make you praise it endlessly.
It's a pity that there are only three slices, and they are so thin, it's not satisfying at all.
Pan Heng thought regretfully, it turned out that he had to eat one portion alone. It would be best to go to the store to eat directly next weekend.
The assistants cleared away all the snacks, and then the delicious and nutritious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was served to the table.
Each person was given a small cup of Luoshen Osmanthus Drink. Golden osmanthus flowers floated in the clear reddish water, which smelled very appetizing.
Roselle, also known as Roselle, contains nutrients such as citric acid, vitamin C, citric acid, etc. It has the effects of strengthening the stomach and digestion, lowering blood pressure, lightening spots and beautifying, and promoting blood circulation and replenishing blood.
Its taste is sour with a hint of sweetness, but when it is neutralized by the sweet fragrance of osmanthus and a small amount of osmanthus honey is added, the sourness is suppressed, making it sweet and sour, appetizing, and elegant in aroma.
Girls will like this taste very much.
Of course, these grown men also liked it, as it was just the right amount to eliminate the slightly greasy feeling brought by the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, so they drank it all up without leaving a drop.
Since Huajianji opened its special tea snacks, the 200-point tea snacks were sold out from 15:00 on the first day to 14:00 a few days later...
Now they are basically all sold out around 12 noon, and a sold-out sign is quickly hung at the ordering area, leaving many customers who come in the afternoon stunned.
This... is selling out too fast?
That's 200 servings of refreshments, not 20, so it's definitely a lot.
Many well-known old brands can't even sell 100 copies a day, but here, double the quantity is sold out before noon?!
The number of orders per person is still limited and delivery is not yet available, otherwise it will sell out faster.
Ye Han didn't expect it to happen so soon.
I’m a little worried that Master Yu won’t be able to handle it.
Fortunately, most of them are customers who place orders and take away the semi-finished products, so they can just put them in the bamboo boxes, which greatly reduces the workload of Master Yu and his two apprentices.
Making pastry is hard work. I have to get up at 3 or 4 in the morning before dawn to work. Some pastries have complicated production processes, so I am so busy that I don’t even have time to drink a sip of water.
But semi-finished products are much easier.
The elimination of the steaming process of pastries, as well as the processes of boiling lotus seeds and brewing tea can save a lot of time.
There are shop assistants outside helping with packing, and two apprentices helping out in the kitchen, making Master Yu's job a lot easier.
She is very satisfied with the job.
Her last job was in a relatively remote alley. The boss did not advertise the business and relied on her and another master's skills to attract repeat customers.
Basically, only the people of old W city know about this place. Apart from that, there are some tourists who specialize in studying the delicacies in the corners. The story has been passed down through word of mouth until now.
There are not many customers every day, only a dozen or so, but the unit price is very high, 258 yuan per piece.
Such a high price must be worth it.
The customers who come here are all here to try something new. The set meal includes 10 different styles of Jiangnan pastries, with only two pieces of each category. All are freshly made, and it is really too much effort to go back and forth.
At that time, she was busy from three or four in the morning until the evening, and there was no one to help.
There are indeed a lot of breaks in between, but I can't rest for long. As soon as a customer comes in, I have to start making pastries immediately and I don't have a moment to rest.
As she got older, her energy declined, and she eventually left the place where she had worked for more than 20 years.
I thought I would go to Boss Feng’s teahouse, but unexpectedly ended up at Huajianji.
The daily set menu here has fixed items: two kinds of pastries, a cold dish/dessert, and a tea.
Generally speaking, there are only four items, most of which are semi-finished products, which are more convenient.
Just prepare the filling and keep making it. The quantity is large and customers come in waves, so once the cycle starts, it will be quick.
By noon, everything was sold out and the busiest time was over, so I could have a good rest in the afternoon.
Master Yu thinks the environment here is really good. Since coming here, he has enough sleep every day and his mental state is better than in previous years.
Listening to the rustling of bamboo, smelling the bamboo fragrance, and looking at the flowers, plants and trees when you are not busy, your mood will become relaxed.
She thinks the scenery here is pleasant and very suitable for retirement.
When she gets old, she will ask the director if she can rent a house here. It is much better than going to a nursing home and it will not add any burden to her children. They can just come here to see her occasionally.
Ye Han has also been thinking about the issue of personnel placement recently.
Since the opening of "Half Day Leisure", the number of staff has increased a lot.
There are a total of 9 employees in the beverage area, who are responsible for taking orders and cashiering, making in-store drinks, making take-out drinks, selling tea bags... There are 3 people on Master Yu's side, plus the girl who does osmanthus incense, a total of more than a dozen employees.
There aren't enough dormitories.
Huajianji already had more than a dozen employees, and now there are more than a dozen more, making a total of almost thirty people.
Currently, except Yan Bin, the other eight employees of the beverage shop live in the house that Wang Yun rented for them.
So Ye Han plans to expand the dormitory and has already contacted the construction team.
Thinking about it now, it really feels like a lifetime ago.
When she took over the botanical garden half a year ago, there were only three people there: her, Wang Hongnian and Liu Yufen. Since then, she has gradually recruited Liu Yi, Hu Yuanfeng and others.
Now, we have thirty employees, which is five or six times the number when the park first opened.
At the same time, the area of the botanical garden is also expanding.
In mid-November, after the construction of the Songbai Garden was completed, Ye Han completed Advanced Task Five: introducing no less than 20 species and 200 national protected plants (level three or above) within two months.
Mission reward: reclaim 150 acres of land.
System: "Host, please go to the light screen panel to receive the reward and plan the 150 acres of land you are about to obtain."
150 acres is indeed big enough.
Currently, the area of Huajianji is only 300 acres, which is equivalent to a 50% expansion on the original basis.
Ye Han thought about it for two days and finally came up with an idea.
The 150 acres of wasteland consists of three parts:
①Swan Lake, about 30 acres.
Opposite the artificial lake, a double waterscape is created to complement the mountains and water, and the swans can also increase the viewing experience for tourists.
② Lavender sea, about 70 acres
There are not many flowers in the garden at present. The rose garden and peony garden near the glass greenhouse are not large in area. They can be used as flower viewing areas, but they cannot achieve an endless visual effect.
Ye Han personally thinks that Swan Lake, windmill and lavender garden go well together.
At the same time, lavender has a soothing effect on the mind, which is consistent with the tone of Huajianji. Wandering in the ocean of purple can relax tourists' mood.
Many derivative products can also be made, such as lavender essential oil, lavender hydrosol, lavender aromatherapy and so on.
③Tea garden, about 30 acres
The environment in W City is very suitable for growing tea trees. Mr. Feng, the owner of the tea house, has his own tea garden. In addition to providing tea rooms and private rooms, the sale of tea is also a considerable source of income, accounting for at least 50% of the turnover.
It is common for customers to come and drink tea and taste snacks, and if they think the tea is good, they will take half a pound of it home.
After Ye Han opened the beverage area, he made osmanthus oolong drinks and related tea bags, consuming 600 kilograms of tea in half a month, with a discounted price of 500 yuan per kilogram. The cost alone was 300,000 yuan, or 600,000 yuan a month.
It is really a considerable expense.
Tea is a highly profitable industry, especially premium tea, which is in smaller quantities and has been rising in price.
For example, West Lake Longjing, one of the top ten famous teas in my country, has a history of more than 1,200 years and was a tribute during the Northern Song Dynasty.
When Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to the south of the Yangtze River, he named the eighteen tea trees in front of the Hu Gong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain as "Imperial Tea", which is the mother tree today.
The 18 mother trees produce very little tea each year, all of which is provided to government departments as tribute, and ordinary people cannot even drink it.
In addition, the slightly inferior grade is the tea tree grown from branches taken from mother trees. Such special-grade Longjing is also priceless.
Because of its fame, the price of Longjing tea of grade one or above on the market basically goes over 2,000 yuan per catty, and the profit has more than doubled or tripled.
All in all the price is very high.
Influenced by raw materials such as osmanthus, the beverage shop in Huajianji will focus on scented tea and tea drinks in the future to distinguish itself from other milk tea shops and create a unique beverage area.
There will be many places where tea will be used in the future, so it would be better to open up your own tea garden and plant tea trees.
With the help of plant nutrient solution, the quality of tea will definitely not be bad.
By this calculation, at least several million dollars can be saved each year.
30 acres of tea garden is enough. If it is special-grade tea fried from the tea tips, the output will be about several hundred kilograms, and the output of general quality tea will be 6,000-9,000 kilograms.
It's more than enough to be used as a beverage shop.
The quantity of osmanthus is limited, and the sales of tea bags are expected to last until around January. The main feature of osmanthus is that it is in season and fresh, so the sales will not last too long.
The refreshments and drinks were sufficient to sustain them for the time being.
Ye Han planned it in his mind and basically determined these three parts.
The area is 150 acres, excluding 130 acres, the rest is lawns, roads, paths, rest areas, etc. Perhaps other attractions will be built later, but that is a matter for the future.
System: "150 acres of wasteland, the host initially set it to 30 acres of Swan Lake, 70 acres of lavender sea, 30 acres of tea garden, and the rest will be set according to the terrain. Confirm?"
Ye Han nodded: "Confirmed."
The light screen interface generates a corresponding three-dimensional effect image.
More than 200 meters behind the exhibition greenhouse is a medium-sized Swan Lake with clear water that simulates the appearance of a swan spreading its wings, and there are corresponding cabins.
Further back is a vast sea of lavender flowers. Purple lavender sways in the wind all over the mountains. When the wind blows, you can seem to smell its soothing scent.
However, these are all simulation pictures. The flowering period of lavender is from June to August, and it will not bloom until at least May next year.
At a distance away is a tea garden, which is connected to the hills behind, forming layers of tea gardens that gradually rise upwards, crisscrossing like green ribbons, stretching endlessly and covering most of the hills.
It's spectacular, and you can almost smell the fresh tea fragrance spreading over.
The rest of the place is covered with lawns and green trees, with paths in the middle for tourists to walk through. There are benches next to the Swan Lake for tourists to rest, which is exactly what Ye Han imagined.
After Ye Han confirmed again, countless water droplet-shaped "fluid robots" started to move, began to dig the lake, loosen the soil, and clean up the surrounding debris. The irrigation system automatically connected to the excavated Swan Lake and injected water into the lake.
WO4 printed a windmill about ten meters high, a cabin in Swan Lake, benches and other equipment. It cooperated well with the water droplets and moved very quickly.
It took a day and a half to finally reclaim 150 acres of wasteland.
The information on the left side of the light screen interface also changed.
Name: Ye Han
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Planet: Solar System - Earth
Binding system: Galaxy B544
Binding Botanical Garden: Huajianji (100% equity)
Area: 450 acres
Collection process: 158‰
Rescue endangered plants: 30 species
Ye Han asked someone to remove the sealing cloth at the back of the exhibition greenhouse and move away the large equipment used to cover it.
The employees naturally saw the huge group of construction workers making such a big move.
Ye Han announced the news in the group at the right time: "The reclamation of 150 acres of wasteland has been completed, and it is expected that a swan lake, a sea of lavender flowers and a small tea garden will be added."
Liu Yi: "Wow, congratulations on completing the land reclamation, applause!"
The land was reclaimed in one month. The construction team was very efficient.
There was a lot of celebration below, and the employees were discussing it happily in the group.
"With more than 100 acres, the botanical garden will be able to receive more tourists in the future."
"That's great. There are too many tourists now and it's a bit crowded."
"Swan Lake, we will raise many swans in the future. I am looking forward to it."
"I saw the windmill. It was so beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off it."
After the museum closed that day, everyone prepared to go and take a look at the newly reclaimed area, and Ye Han took them along.
It is really different from before. The view is suddenly much wider and there is no end in sight. The farthest point is even connected to the mountains behind, giving people a very vast feeling and is very shocking.
If you walk here from Entrance 1, it is expected to take more than an hour just to walk.
Swan Lake is oval in shape, with clear and flawless water surface without any aquatic plants covering it. It is like a pool of clear spring water pouring into it, as clear as a mirror and as pure and flawless as the Tianchi Lake on the Snow Mountain.
The green trees and blue sky are reflected on the lake surface, making the water appear light blue with emerald green waves swaying in it, which attracts people at first sight.
Liu Yi couldn't help but walk towards the lake. It really was like looking in a mirror, it was so clear.
The swan's little house is placed in the middle of the lake. It is built like a hand-assembled woodworking model, extremely delicate, and even has a constant temperature incubation area, which makes everyone sigh in admiration.
The tall windmill stood not far away. Under the setting sun, it seemed as if a layer of dreamy gold was sprinkled on it. The effect of light and shadow refracted, forming a seven-color rainbow around it, which stunned Liu Yi and others.
"Oh my god, it's a rainbow, so beautiful!"
“It’s so beautiful.”
“It’s like a dream.”
The four blades of the windmill are like neon lights, slowly turning in the wind. The colors are brilliant and intertwined with the semicircular rainbow. Visually, it seems as if you have fallen into a mirage, ethereal and dreamy.
Even though there are no swans in the Swan Lake yet and the loose and flat land in front has not been planted with lavender, tea trees and other plants, the beautiful scenery at this moment is already fascinating.
It makes people look forward to what it will look like in the future.
Ye Han is also working on making them look like the models.
The Botanical Gardens have expanded.
