【Chapter 292】 Rare plants

The 'three-star Michelin Chinese restaurant' has stirred up a storm in the industry, and many senior chefs are looking for ways to join the Xiao family's private restaurant and make a lot of money for their career resumes.

Therefore, when the recruitment intention of the restaurant was announced, Ginkgo Village successively welcomed applicants from all over the country, and everyone's enthusiasm was somewhat unexpected by Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinhao.

In fact, Xiao Feng's uncle and nephew Yan Zhan Zhòng underestimated the huge influence of the title of 'three-star Michelin restaurant', and in their subconscious, they also regarded the restaurant as an ordinary restaurant.

In fact, this is also a very normal thing, Xiao Jinhao was just the chief shopkeeper of a village banquet before, even if he is good at cooking, in the orthodox chef world, he is from a wild road. He didn't know about the huge influence of the 'Michelin' organization in the global gastronomic field, let alone the special significance of being the first three-star Chinese restaurant in mainland China.

As for Xiao Feng, the time taken from grassroots to billionaire is too short, so he does not have a deep understanding of some luxury restaurants in the world, and naturally there is no way to judge that the Xiao family's private restaurant will bring such a big shock to the industry!

…………

After the expansion project of the restaurant started, Xiao Feng had to deal with various affairs of the project in addition to taking care of Xu Mengyao's mother and daughter every day, and had to prepare various precious plants for the new restaurant the rest of the time.

In order to create a unique dining environment, Xiao Feng decided to build the new restaurant into a huge botanical garden, in which various precious plants are planted. In order to achieve this goal, Xiao Feng became a botanist during this time. Using the computer to check the information of various precious plants, it is very busy!

In the end, Xiao Feng determined a series of plant lists and began to prepare!

With the current wealth of the Xiao family, there is no need for Xiao Feng to enter the deep mountains and old forests to dig these precious plants, as long as Xiao Feng releases his words, naturally someone will be willing to send all kinds of rare plants to the door. However, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Xiao Feng decided to obtain these valuable plants listed in the protection list in a more secure way.

So, he found the two old men Long Cheng and Shi Bingnan!

…………

"You're really a big deal, are you going to build a rare botanical garden?" Long Cheng took the catalogue handed over by Xiao Feng. He asked with a look of surprise.

Although Dragon City's specialty is animal research. But he didn't know anything about plants, just by glancing at it, he realized that Xiao Feng's plan was very big!

"Let me see, what did the crazy boy make to make you so shocked, old dragon?" Shi Bingnan, who was standing next to him, took the catalog. After taking a closer look. also had to sigh: "Are you kid taking it for granted." Many of these plants simply can't survive in the environment of Ginkgo Village! ”

Not to mention, in the catalogue provided by Xiao Feng, the Wangtian tree, which is native to the original tropical rainforest of Banna, cannot grow in the cold northwest of Yunnan at all. The golden flower tea, which is native to Yongcheng, western Guangxi, has not been successfully transplanted so far.

"I know it's hard, but I want to give it a try!" Xiao Feng knew the concerns of the two old men, and explained to them: "You have also seen that the Xiao family farm has also successfully cultivated many tropical and subtropical fruits, and we still have certain skills in plant cultivation!" This time, although it is for the construction of a new restaurant, I also hope to find some experience for the cultivation and protection of rare plants. ”

Xiao Feng knew that the two academicians were the kind of real intellectuals who put scientific research first, so naturally he would not describe to them the economic benefits that the rare botanical garden would bring to the new restaurant, but focused on some of the plant cultivation techniques that the Xiao family had.

In fact, the so-called 'cultivation technology' is purely imaginary, but with the backing of the space spiritual spring, Xiao Feng is confident that he can build a unique botanical garden in the world in Ginkgo Village, which can not only make the Xiao family's private restaurant become the world's most special 'Michelin three-star restaurant', but also make the Jinghu Scenic Area have the best rare botanical garden in the world in the future.

"That's a good idea!" After listening to Xiao Feng's words, Long Cheng nodded and said, "Our two old men still have some face in the country, we can help you get some seedlings, but if you mess up, you can do it yourself!" ”

It has been more than three months since he came into contact with Xiao Feng, and Long Cheng knows that this young man does not have the bad habit of being overbearing by some rich children, and he also knows that he attaches great importance to scientific research activities.

According to Longcheng's observations, the most critical factor behind the fruits, aquatic products, poultry, pasture and livestock in the entire Xiao Family Farm and Jinghu Ranch is that the Xiao Feng is not visible. Since Xiao Feng plans to build a top-notch rare botanical garden, it means that he has a certain degree of certainty, and this matter has to support him.

Of course, Long Cheng also knew that with the Xiao family's current wealth, even if they could not obtain these protected rare plant plants and seedlings through legal channels, there would be a large number of black market merchants willing to send them to the door.

Rather than fostering the development of the black market, it is better to put it on track at the beginning of the construction of the botanical garden.

"Then I'll thank you first, old man!" Xiao Feng bowed slightly to the two old men and said, "If the botanical garden is successfully operated in the future, we will also provide some seedlings and cultivation technologies to relevant scientific research institutions to further improve the scientific research level in the field of these rare plants in China!" ”

Xiao Feng's brain turned quickly, and he turned a commercial project into a pure scientific research project at once, and from this point of view, Xiao Feng really hit the psychological defense line of Long Cheng and Shi Bingnan.

At this time, the two academicians and Xiao Feng had an eager discussion on the details of the construction of the botanical garden, and then the scale of the botanical garden was expanded several times, and the provision of green plants for the new restaurant eventually became just an incidental function of the botanical garden project!

In the end, Xiao Feng decided to build a rare botanical garden in a valley less than a kilometer away from the old house, which was dedicated to cultivating various rare plants. In the future, this botanical garden with a total area of more than 2,000 acres can not only provide a variety of rare plants for decoration and greening for the new restaurant and even the Jinghu Scenic Area, but also provide various rare seedlings for domestic scientific research institutions and nurseries, and make its own contribution to the protection and cultivation of rare plants in China.

In fact, even Xiao Feng, as the initiator, did not expect that a few years later, this botanical garden would become a holy place in the hearts of all botanists around the world, because it gathered all kinds of rare plants that could be found all over the world, which can be called an encyclopedia of rare plants!

Since Long Cheng and Shi Bingnan's expertise is in the field of animal research, they specially recommended a botanist to Xiao Feng to be responsible for the preparation of the botanical garden!

In this regard, Xiao Feng naturally gladly accepted it!

…………

Zhai Qingsong has not been in a good mood recently, and his life at Yunnan Forestry University has not been very good, all because of a paper he published last year.

As the youngest associate professor at Yunnan Forestry University, Zhai Qingsong spent nearly a year last year conducting detailed research on bald fir trees, obtained a lot of scientific research results, and wrote a weighty paper.

Zhai Qingsong is very confident that as long as he continues to conduct research on bald fir trees, he will definitely be able to obtain more results, and perhaps he will become an authority in the field of bald fir research, and will be promoted to full professor in the future, with an independent real room and scientific research team.

On the eve of the publication of the paper, Fang Jian, the newly appointed dean of the college, once hinted to Zhai Qingsong to put the name of 'Fang Jian' in the first author of the paper.

Although he had heard of all kinds of academic and technical frauds before this, Zhai Qingsong still couldn't stand the shameless possession of his brainchild by others, so he refused. Even though he is nearly forty years old, the pride in his bones still makes Zhai Qingsong make such a choice.

What Zhai Qingsong didn't expect was that although Dean Fang Jian was not angry on the surface, he secretly used all kinds of means to get countless small shoes for Zhai Qingsong to wear.

For example, Zhai Qingsong, who originally only needed to take two undergraduate classes, doubled his teaching tasks after the start of the new semester, with four undergraduate classes, and almost every day the classes were full. Secondly, every time Zhai Qingsong's scientific research team applied for funds, venues, vehicles, etc., it would be troubled intentionally or unintentionally by the relevant logistics departments, either delayed or under-allocated, which seriously affected Zhai Qingsong's scientific research progress.

Immediately afterwards, the three-bedroom house that had been initially assigned to Zhai Qingsong was also given to another colleague for some inexplicable reasons, which made Zhai Qingsong's status in the family drop a lot.

Now, the entire faculty and staff of Yunnan Forestry University know that Zhai Qingsong has offended the new dean of the Forestry College, and his life in the Forestry College is not easy!

However, because Huaxia University now belongs to the dean's responsibility system, some of Zhai Qingsong's classmates, teachers, colleagues and friends want to help him out of the siege, but they are also a little clueless.

Now, Zhai Qingsong has only two ways to go, the first is to bow to Fang Jian, and the second is to resign and leave!

Even if he wanted to be transferred out of the Forestry Academy, without Fang Jian's signature, no one could do anything!

Zhai Qingsong, who was originally the most promising full professor in the College of Forestry, was stalemate by Fang Jian in this way, and everyone was estimating that Zhai Qingsong had no other way but to be soft.

In the face of many difficulties, Zhai Qingsong never thought of bowing to an academic tumor like Fang Jian, because doing so would mean giving up some of his bottom lines as a man.

It's just that my life is really not easy now, I work hard, and it doesn't matter if the course is full, but many of my scientific research processes have been delayed, which is what makes Zhai Qingsong the most heartbroken.

Just when Zhai Qingsong was struggling, a phone call from Ginkgo Village lifted his spirits, maybe there was a turning point!

Zhai Qingsong is not a pedantic person, he knows that many times he can't achieve things with his own strength alone, and how to use his strength to fight is also a science! (To be continued......)
