Chapter 863: Plant Snacks
Alan Esrich is visiting Qinghe City for the second time.
The first time was as an on-site judge of the International Indoor Greening Competition, and I went to the site to evaluate the entries of Xeno-Greening Company.
And this time, he received an invitation from Lin Zeng to attend the opening ceremony of their company's new urban farm.
As an internationally renowned expert on vertical urban greening, Aaron Esrich has a very out-of-the-box personality, although he dresses with strange aesthetic taste, full of red, green and green, but his vision is very high.
Over the past year, the young people who won the gold medal often asked him about design questions, and he was also enthusiastic to answer them. Through these design examples, he gained a deeper understanding of the work of this young company.
Terbi is a plant variety of Xenolux Greening, and it is really excellent. If it weren't for the fact that these plants could not be grown outside of China, Alan Esrich would have used these interesting plants to the fullest in all his works.
This time, he agreed to Lin Zeng's invitation and went to Qinghe City alone, and when he saw a building with a façade covered with green vines and purple flowers, he decided to fall in love with the city without hesitation.
Isn't it the dream he has been trying to pursue with the vines covered with cold concrete?
And in this city, there is more than one such building.
He decided to stay in the city for a few more days. Take a closer look at the vertical greening that is very common in these cities,
This decision extended the stay again when he saw Lin Zeng's upcoming Xenocity Farm.
He really loves this urban farmstead.
Here, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as full of greenery.
The function of plants is more comprehensive and peculiar than the plant houses seen in the original Star Island Country.
Whether it's the flexible plant elevator or the flaming plant security door from afar, it's beyond his imagination, and he can't wait to move it all to his home. It's a pity that he asked about the accommodation price of this plant farm, even the cheapest urban courtyard costs thousands of yuan, and he can't support it with his income for a long time.
However, for Aaron Esrich, his favorite place is the plant-based snack bar on the eighth floor of the urban farm.
Alan Esrich has been a child with a love of snacks since he was a child. Now that I'm older, my love for those delicious snacks hasn't diminished. However, over the years, he could only say goodbye to many, many snacks sadly.
His personal doctor warned him that he must stay away from high-calorie, high-sugar snacks for a long time, otherwise his body's high blood pressure and those troublesome chronic diseases will accelerate the deterioration and affect his health.
However, he was very pleased that he could find many snacks that could be used for a long time in the special plant-based snack bar on the eighth floor of No. 90 East Street.
He wandered to this snack bar on the eighth floor, and when he saw the snack menu of the snack bar in the city farm, his eyes couldn't help but light up. The snack menu design is very comprehensive.
Each snack is followed by a detailed food test report that indicates the amount of calories, sugars, minerals and various trace elements contained in the snack. Because Aaron Esrich was a foreigner, he was given an English version of the snack menu, so he studied the text of the report carefully.
For example, it can be used as a substitute for the crispy bay leaves of his favorite fried potato chips. In terms of ingredients, it is a very healthy snack. It has a fragrant and slightly sweet taste, a crispy texture similar to biscuits and vegetarian tablets, but contains almost no fat and sugar. At the same time, it is also very rich in calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron and other substances. According to the composition of these nutrients, the nutritional composition of crispy bay leaves is very close to healthy green vegetables.
For a picky eater like Aaron Esrich, who hates vegetables, this plant is simply the best snack.
The taste of snacks, the nutrition of vegetables, what could be better than this?
It is planted in snack bars and grows along specially designed steel shelves to form a rattan column that reaches to the ceiling. The crispy bay leaf leaves are green on the front and dark purple on the back, and when you bite into it, you can't help but take one bite after another, and you keep eating it.
He's already eaten three bags today.
Each bag has 50 crispy bay leaves, and I always feel that I haven't eaten it yet.
Of course, in addition to his favorite crispy bay leaves, there are many other edible plants that he also loves, like the fruit that can be made into ice cream.
What kind of snack favorite?
Snacks are best when you can eat them in your mouth.
Anything that you can't hope for is a crime!
Ice cream has long been on the list of forbidden foods given to her by Alan Esrich's personal doctor.
This kind of ice cream fruit, which can be made into a cone, does not have the high sugar and fat of ordinary ice cream fruit, but is composed of excellent protein and a plant mucus that contains a special flavor and rich nutrients, and when chilled, the taste is no worse than the most expensive ice cream on the street.
Bai Qiming, as a veteran employee, temporarily arranged to be responsible for managing the plant-based snack bar on the eighth floor. They looked at this eccentric old foreign man and was not going anywhere. Sitting in the casual snack bar on the eighth floor, full of happy expressions, sitting on the back chair of the crispy bay leaf rattan pillar, taking a bite of the crispy bay leaf, and then licking the cone made of ice cream fruit in your hand, it looks very comfortable.
This old foreign man with yellow-orange-orange hair has been in this snack bar for a whole day.
It seems that I don't want to eat, just go around these snacks-producing plants, and how not to leave.
However, Bai Qiming and the others did not bother him.
Today is the first day of the opening of Xenodu City Farm at 90 East Street, and customers always have their own preferences.
Some people linger in the wine library, some frolic in the heated pool, and some prefer to think of the Ocean Restaurant as an aquarium.
This foreigner, who likes to eat snacks, doesn't look special.
Anyway, Bai Qiming spent the whole day and found that his inconspicuous-looking plant-based snack bar was actually more popular with guests with children than other restaurants.
No, from the gate, there came another couple with a child in their arms.
The husband, who was a little fat, handed a card in the shape of a purple-gold maple leaf to Bai Qiming.
Bai Qiming was stunned for a moment, quickly took it, verified it, and said: "Sir, this is Mr. Lin's private maple leaf card, you can use this card for free to use the facilities in the building." ”
This Zijin card Bai Qiming saw once today, it was a foreign child and a Chinese teenager, they took the Zijin card, ordered a bunch of delicious crispy bay leaves in the snack bar, held the snack bag, and went to play elsewhere.
