I'm the Culinary God

Chapter 1166: Chapter 471: Pursuing Fineness Is Fine, but Texture Is the Soul of Sesame Paste!

"Son, here’s the draft. See what you think about it."

A bit past 8 PM, Chen Meijuan and the landscape designer finally completed the basic draft of the scenic area.

Lin Xu sat down and scrolled through it with the mouse.

There were quite a few changes, like completely redoing the entrance to look like a turnstile, allowing regular visitors to buy tickets to enter and have fun.

Additionally, the fence was upgraded, with wire mesh installed all around to prevent fence-jumping.

The entrance tickets to Ginkgo Garden are quite cheap, after all, it’s a place for relaxation with some paid activities inside. The tickets are cheaper to lure people in first.

This is the usual tactic of the scenic area.

But if someone wanted to save even that little ticket money and chose the unconventional route, the wire mesh would come in handy.

The setup isn’t to prevent fare evasion, but to avoid the trouble of someone jumping over and getting hurt, potentially leading to costly hospital stays that could cost the garden tens of thousands.

To avoid spending big money like that, spending a little on wire mesh is necessary.

Inside the main entrance, the straight cement path leading to the central row of houses was removed. Now, entering requires walking left or right along the boardwalk, extending the strolling distance for everyone.

Inside, there are areas like the Sika Deer Garden, Pony Garden, Peacock Garden, and Alpaca Garden.

Adjacent are small stalls selling carrots and other food items for visitors to purchase and feed the animals.

If you look at the scenic area like a giant "field" character, these four little animal zones are right in the central spaces of the character.

This arrangement makes visitors wanting to see all four animals walk much more, which indirectly extends their time in the park.

For the scenic area, the longer visitors stay, the more they spend.

Even if they don’t spend a dime, at least having more people adds to the ambiance and popularity.

There are two types of roads inside: one is a narrow wooden boardwalk for visitors to wander through the Ginkgo Forest.

The other is a colorful path encircling Ginkgo Garden, for those staying briefly to engage in running, walking, cycling, and other fitness activities.

The open area in the center of the park will be made into an outdoor dining zone, with some earth-stove cooking added for visitors to enjoy the fun of eating around a cast-iron pot.

As for the pond in the back, when the water level is low, boardwalks will be built on the water, and some fishing spots will be constructed. For a fee, visitors can experience the joy of fishing.

"Not bad, I think it’s pretty good."

After looking it over, Lin Xu had new expectations for Ginkgo Garden.

Chen Meijuan said:

"If the benefits are good, the open fields outside the walls might be leased by Mi Lan, with light steel structure hotels built for guests to eat and stay."

Wow, even the phase two plan is all thought out.

Lin Xu said:

"If that’s the case, we should talk to Mi Lan tomorrow. If she has no objections, we can start drafting and proceed with construction, aiming to complete the project before the Spring Festival and promote it vigorously next spring."

With Dundun around, attracting visitors to Ginkgo Garden shouldn’t be a problem.

After all, last time during a fishing trip, the little guy attracted both Master’s colleagues and Mi Lan’s friends.

Now turning it into a tourist spot, wouldn’t that be even more exciting?

The next day, after breakfast, Chen Meijuan hurriedly left with Shen Jiayue to discuss the design with Mi Lan. Lin Xu slowly drove to the store with Dundun. As he entered, Grandpa Yu followed him in:

"Little Lin, can you spare some time to shoot a tutorial on Black Sesame Paste and milk tablets? My daughter wants to learn it, and if it’s simple, she’ll make it for Tongtong."

Black Sesame Paste and milk tablets?

Lin Xu curiously asked:

"Why the sudden interest in learning these?"

"Ah, yesterday that girl Tongtong was here playing and had some Black Sesame Paste. I was worried she’d get scolded, so I said it was Lele’s favorite from a young age. My daughter, upon hearing that, wants to learn and make it for Tongtong in hopes that she turns out to be an intelligent talent like Lele."

Wow, you really do aspire for your daughter to become... wait, aspire to be like Le!

Well, Geng Lele truly has become a benchmark in Yanjing’s middle schools. Even the boarding school Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang attend offered to pay for Lele to give a speech, but this was refused by the concerned Mr. Yan.

Our goddaughter isn’t planning to start a business from scratch nor go public on the stock exchange to raise funds. Why go tell stories?

Nope!

Anything that might impact her studies is outright rejected.

Even if she were to start a business or go public, with her godmother backing her, there’s no need to motivate already stressed students at school.

Natural talent is not something effort alone can achieve.

Just like Cui Qingyuan, who, during his overseas study, learned more than what an average person could in a lifetime.

Such talent renders motivational talks useless.

"I’ll shoot a video of it next time. With the cold setting in, having warm Black Sesame Paste is a good idea. As for milk tablets, they’re beneficial for kids and the elderly, so they should definitely be consumed more."

Lin Xu’s words made Grandpa Yu’s eyes light up with joy:

"Then we’ll be waiting to learn from you."

"Alright, no problem, you’ll definitely learn."

For other culinary delights, Lin Xu wouldn’t confidently promise success.

But for Black Sesame Paste and milk tablets, such simple desserts simply need hands to make, and the results are definitely not bad, at least better than instant mixes.

Placing Dundun on the service counter, the little guy jumped up to the roof, scratching the corrugated cardboard to sharpen its claws, then hopped down to play with Song Tiantian, who had just finished breakfast.
