The results of the cooking competition don't matter anymore. Each entrant received a "Fox Food Festival Cooking Competition Medal" from Kemp. The medallion was sponsored by Link. It was gold-plated silver medallions, each worth five hundred dollars, and it was quite beautifully made.

The festival has finally come to an end, and the tourists are leaving. However, there are also some families with children who have stayed on vacation. They can spend a day here or go on vacation to the Olympic National Park tomorrow.

These people will bring a lot of tourism income to the Fox people.

The festival was a success, and the happiest people were definitely the residents of Fox. At least 45,000 visitors visit Fox during the festival. In addition to their spending at the food festival, some tourists will also buy souvenirs, drinks and food in the town, which is certainly a lot of consumption. That should make the residents of Fox a lot of money.

On top of that, Fox was in the news on major TV stations because of the food festival. Fox residents are optimistic that this will more than double the number of visitors to Fox in the second half of the year compared to the same period in previous years.

So, they have no reason to be upset.

Celebrities should have a hard time. But Link felt that the attention they received would make them glad to come to the food festival.

Of course, it can only be him who has benefited the most.

He devotes a lot of time, money and energy to this food festival, and of course the plan is not small.

This is the first time he has organized such a large-scale group event. It should change his impression in the public mind. This was his first purpose.

The second purpose, of course, is for the sake of tangible interests.

The food festival was spontaneously promoted by netizens, which attracted the attention of the public, and those media outlets reported on it whether they wanted it or not. That made the Fox Food Festival known to more people. Amanda's documentary is the most intuitive way for those who didn't attend the festival to learn about the food festival. While the heat is still there, there should be many people watching the documentary after it is uploaded. And in the documentary, there are a lot of advertisements he did.

He did what he had to do. As for the effect, it depends on the follow-up development. But he left it to Martha, and he began to prepare for the birth of his child.

Although Jessica should have a month and a half before she was born. But Link has already begun to prepare for this.

He first had people go to Seattle to contact the paramedics in the obstetrics and gynecology department. Hopefully, they'll be on Fox before Jessica's due date.

When Jessica gave birth, he had one more promise to fulfill. For this reason, he even put his official work on hold for the time being.

On this day, after sending Hannah to school, he returned directly to the manor. I sat with Jessica for a while. He excused himself to leave to see Wang Jun's work and left the castle.

However, after he left the castle, he drove directly to the workshop where Wang Jun and they worked. His destination was in the forest. There's another building there.

He drove along the forest road to an open area in the forest. There is a circular glass greenhouse with an area of about one acre. The greenhouse was supported by a steel frame, with a few columns inside—he would have liked to have no columns. But if you don't want columns, the requirements for materials are very high, and he doesn't care about the cost. However, the deadline was tight.

Now the construction of the greenhouse has been completed, but the greenhouse cannot be said to have been completed. He needs to plant flowers in it.

Before he could get out of the car, a middle-aged man with black hair greeted him. He was an Indian florist hired by a town near Link-Fox. He was responsible for planting roses in the greenhouse for Link.

After greeting the florist, Link asked, "How is it going? Will it bloom in October?"

"There should be no problem. "The roses were planted after the steel frame of the greenhouse was built. When the greenhouse is completed, let the greenhouse have the most suitable environment for the growth of roses. Roses are growing well. "The key is not to encounter pests and diseases at the time of flowering. ”

"You can use medicated fertilizers or anything. Be sure to ensure that the flowering period is guaranteed. ”

"I will. ”

Link nodded and said, "I'll go in and have a look!"

He didn't let the gardener follow, and after disinfecting, he walked into the greenhouse alone. It's a bit warmer inside than outside, and there's no wind. High temperatures and sunlight can make rosepeans grow faster.

He took a closer look at the condition of some of the roses. Found that they were indeed well cared for. He couldn't find even a single yellow leaf. Each of these roses is well pruned, and the branches germinate quite densely. It seems that as long as the fertilizer can keep up, it should be able to produce the flowers he wants.

After seeing the roses, he walked out of the greenhouse, found the gardener, and said, "Next month, I will find someone to arrange something in it." You can cooperate then. ”

Of course, the gardener has no opinion, and it is his job to be in charge of the greenhouse.

Link left the greenhouse after explaining the florist, and stopped the car this time as he passed by Wang Jun's workshop again.

"Master Wang. ”

Wang Jun, who was sketching the wooden pieces, looked up and saw him, put down the work in his hand and stood up: "Mr. Lin, you are here." ”

"I'll take a look. Are you still used to living here?" After Wang Jun returned to China, he brought three apprentices over. His apprentices mainly helped him to open wood or carve simple components.

"It's a good place to work. Wang Jun was not very comfortable with this kind of communication, he rubbed his hands and asked. "Mr. Lin, do you have something to look for me?"

"Just to see if you need anything. I also want to see what I have carved now. ”

When it comes to his work, Wang Jun speaks much more smoothly. He smiled and said, "We have carved a set of living room furniture and a set of living room furniture. But now it's going to have to wait a while before you can use it. ”

"Oh. Can you show me there?"

In fact, that kind of furniture is not very useful in Hannah Castle. But he can be used in the parlors on other floors. These things can even be used as a collection and investment.

Carbonized wood is also an antique in a sense, but if it is made into utensils, the value will be higher.

He has no cell for all arts, and he certainly does not have a cell for woodcarving.

However, he felt that the auspicious pattern of the dragon and phoenix on the head of the bed was very exquisite.

He smiled and said, "Master Wang's craftsmanship is really good. ”

"The small skill of carving insects is not enough to worry about!" Wang Jun said with a smile and humility. "Mr. Lin, there are not many timbers that can make such large objects. There are a lot of timber that can only be used to remove some ornaments. Maybe we need to carve more ornaments. I'm going to have one of my apprentices start carving ornaments. His skills can be assured. And what he wants to carve, he will also get my consent first. If he carved with flaws. I'll also be refined. ”

Link thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Since he is Master Wang's apprentice, of course the craftsmanship can be assured." I have no opinion. ”

"In addition, I plan to call another apprentice over and ask him to make poor beads from the scraps that make large pieces. Wang Jun felt that his previous estimate was wrong, there were so many woods, and there were only four of them, and they didn't know what to carve when they wanted.

In particular, he found that some of the wood here was very oily, which was very suitable for making beads. Although it is not a precious wood like golden silk nanmu. But gloomy wood is a rarity. Even if the value is not very large, but the quantity is large, the total value is quite a lot.

Link certainly doesn't have a problem with that. Anyway, his salary is fixed, and it is his own business how many people Wang Jun wants to invite. All he needs to be responsible for is the matter of life.

"If he's coming, I'll have someone arrange room and board. ”

"One more thing, Mr. Lin. ”

"You say!"

Wang Jun seemed a little embarrassed and said: "There is too much wood here, and if all the leftovers are made into beads, our existing small machinery may not be able to complete it." So we hope to buy a bigger and more efficient machine. ”

"How much does that cost?"

"About two hundred and fifty thousand. Oh, I'm talking about the yuan. ”

Although if the contract is strictly followed, Link can ask Wang Jun to pay for this thing, but he doesn't want to care about this little money. He asked, "Are you going to bring it from China?"

"Yes. If you agree, I'll let my apprentice buy one in China. However, Mr. Lin may need to help with the formalities. ”

Of course, Link will not have a problem with this. It doesn't take too many formalities to import such machinery on his side, but on the Chinese side, please Sheng Bingheng is OK.

"I'll have someone arrange it. Link said with a smile.

Link and Wang Jun talked for a while before leaving. Wang Jun stopped him and took out some small things from the inner workshop.

Link saw that there were several strings of beads, and those beads were one size smaller than the dragon's eye. Some are very long, and some can only be worn as bracelets. There are those with smooth beads but beautiful wood grains, and there are those with arhat statues carved on the beads. There are more than 10 strings in total.

In addition to the beads, there are some delicate animals in the box.

"What are these?"

"This is what I'm trying to make to see if the wood is suitable for beading, and if you think it's okay, you can take it to the children first. It can also be given as a small gift to a friend. ”

When Link heard it, it seemed like a good idea. Such a gadget with foreign characteristics is the best gift.

"Okay, I'll take these first. ”

Link was holding the things, and when he saw them, he thought it was indeed very good. I thought maybe these things would come in handy in the future.

He saw that there were so many pieces of wood, and even if Wang Jun and these people had another one, they might not be able to make all the leftovers into such small things wholeheartedly.

He thought for a moment and said, "Master Wang, it's very troublesome to make such a small thing." ”

"In addition to the carving of beads, it will be more time-consuming, and smooth beads mainly need to observe the texture, and the production and polishing can be done by machinery. It's these gadgets that require a little effort. ”

Link laughs and says, "I think there will be a lot of leftovers that are not suitable for making beads, but you can make these dropped animals or small people." Am I right?"

"That's true. ”

"I need more things like these gadgets. I am also worried that Master Wang and these people may not have enough time to do it. Or Master Wang invited a few more people to make these small things. Of course, I can pay an extra fee. ”

Of course, Wang Jun will not object. In fact, he was worried about wasting wood. For a master woodcarver like him, wasting good wood is very difficult to pass his psychological barrier. He nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll contact you right away." ”

Link smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you for now." When you have time, you can go to the castle and find me. We're talking in detail. ”
