Chapter 272: Forming a Team

After Shi Lei and Laura came out of the airport, they went directly to the center of Jinguancheng and found a hotel with an ancient decoration to stay. ≥ ≥ ≥ Xiao ≥ said, www.

Because many of the well-known classics here are basically in the city center, or you have to go outside the city to see them, so you can save a lot of things by living in the city center.

The two famous commercial streets of Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley are definitely to be visited, Jinli looks more traditional, and Kuanzhai Alley has a kind of combination of classical and modern.

Of course, in both places, neither of them looked for any local snacks to taste. Because of such a highly commercialized place, the taste of snacks will certainly not be very authentic, and it will be expensive to death.

So when the two of them go to these places, they are more likely to feel the atmosphere, the leisurely and comfortable in the alley, and to experience the true meaning of slow life.

The food of the two of them this day was solved in the creative restaurant in Kuanzhai Alley, where the environment is matched with Chinese creative cuisine, which fits the temperament of Kuanzhai Alley itself, so that Shi Lei and Laura eat very comfortably and taste very beautiful.

If you want to talk about local authentic snacks, you have to go to those famous fly restaurants. What kind of husband and wife lung slices, sad cold noodles, Guokui and Long Zhaoshou, Zhong Shui dumplings, Han Baozi, these Shi Lei They didn't let go, all according to the recommendations of the locals, and found the most popular authentic taste. Of course, hot pot must also be indispensable, otherwise it would be equivalent to not having been to Jinguancheng.

At night, the two will also choose to go to places like Playdu to watch shadow puppet shows, listen to Sichuan opera, and see the shock brought by changing faces. Even with Shi Lei's super eyesight, he couldn't see the trick of changing his face from those Sichuan opera masters.

Attractions such as Wuhou Temple and Du Fu Thatched Cottage are in the center of the city, and the two of them have taken them around. And places like Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain, both of them need to take time out to take a special trip to take a local shuttle bus to take a look. The same is true for Huanglongxi. Luodai and Pingle are three ancient towns.

But to be honest, similar to Phoenix Ancient City, these places give Shi Lei the feeling of being a little overdeveloped, the commercial atmosphere is too strong, and a lot of flavor has been lost.

There is also no shortage of Buddhist and Taoist holy places in the area around Jinguancheng. There are Qingyang Palace, Wenshu Monastery, Zhaojue Temple and other Taoist and Buddhist temples in the urban area. Outside the city, there are also famous Buddhist mountains such as Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain, and Tiantai Mountain, which are also suitable for Laura to find some inspiration.

For the two of them, the most important thing to miss is definitely the opportunity to get in touch with the giant panda, a national treasure who is a professional seller.

Although the two cannot enjoy the treatment of adopting a giant panda like many well-known figures. But just going to the breeding center to see the cuteness of these children forever, but the pitiful cute babies who can only have black and white photos are already a good experience.

Laura plans to learn from a lot of guys when she goes back and dye her dog panda-colored. Is this the matter, Shi Lei and Laura have the same opinion, and it is obvious that the silly and cute second goods Wangcai among all the dogs is the most suitable.

Whoever made the Chow Chow have that fluffy hair, it is estimated that it should still be more similar after touching and dyeing. It's the half of its bloodline that makes its face and the guys in the bear family have a relatively big gap.

Speaking of bears, stone pastures don't have real bears like gold nuggets. Like pandas, they are bears. Although there are still some differences in their head shape and facial features, in terms of the body appearance of this product, if they are transformed into panda color, they should be more like a living panda. Whoever made the nuggets of gold is now almost fat into big balls.

Shi Lei changed the hair color of the gold nugget in his head, not to mention that it was really similar, because the proportion of the gold nugget even the head was larger than that of similar brown bears.

Although the weight of the gold nugget is larger than that of two adult giant pandas combined. But after I think it's a panda color, this product should also be very cute and cute, right, don't forget that the gold nugget is also a standard rammed goods. I was the best at selling moe or something.

The two did not delay them from seeking cooperation and talents, and Laura soon negotiated a traditional craft factory specializing in the production of Shu brocade, and successfully found two embroiderers of Shu embroidery.

Coincidentally, these two senior embroiderers happened to be a couple, and after hearing Laura's plan to invite them abroad, the two of them agreed without hesitation.

The Shu people seem to be people who like to enjoy their own little days, and they don't have so many ideas about accumulating wealth for their children and grandchildren. More often than not, they just earn money for themselves to spend, and they live very freely.

In the past, Shi Lei was in Yizhou, and he saw a lot of migrant workers from Shu. They usually come out in their respective vans, and the husband and wife go out together, and they basically eat and live in this van.

When I made enough money locally, I simply quit my job and went out to play in a different place. When you're almost done playing, or if you run out of money, you can continue to work for a while, and when you have money, you can go on a journey again.

This concept of life coincides with that of many foreigners. Therefore, when these two senior embroiderers heard that there was an opportunity to go abroad and the temptation of high wages, they did not hesitate to agree to Laura's solicitation, which was not strange in Shi Lei's opinion.

With a full harvest and a touch of lazy style after adapting to the rhythm of Jinguancheng, the two set off again. This time, the target became Fengcheng, the hometown of Cantonese cuisine, but it is the second domestic city after Jinguancheng to win the title of World Capital of Gastronomy.

More than half of the country's Cantonese chefs are from this city, so it has long been known as the "hometown of chefs" in the porcelain country, and more than 40 national-level celebrity chefs are from this city.

It has always been known as the "source of Cantonese cuisine". The saying that "food is in Guangzhou, and cooking is in Fengcheng" has been recognized by the outside world since the Qing Dynasty.

As a representative of Cantonese cuisine, the dishes here have always been exquisite. Therefore, many seemingly ordinary dishes are very complicated to make, and the taste of the finished product is absolutely surprising.

However, it is precisely because of this characteristic that Cantonese restaurants are not as ubiquitous as the more accessible Sichuan cuisine, because the price of Cantonese cuisine is generally higher.

Of course, since the two of them are here to taste the food, they don't care about these expenses. Both of them tried all the large and small Cantonese restaurants. I also developed the habit of drinking morning tea. This comfortable feeling made the two of them enjoy it very much.

Shi Lei also took the time to go to the various martial arts halls here to take a look, and the martial arts street that often appears in the movie is based on the local situation in the early years. This side can be said to be the hometown of authentic southern martial arts, and the southern fists of Wing Chun and Tiger and Crane can basically be found here.

And the representative of kung fu, Bruce Lee, who also made the word kung fu appear in the English dictionary, is an authentic Fengcheng person, so there is Bruce Lee Park here.

And after coming here, of course, the two of them couldn't just wait to eat, Laura still contacted some nearby factories. Canton province not only has unique silk products. The silk is also famous for its Cantonese embroidery. These happen to be all that Laura can use, so Laura also went out to find talents in this area.

Silk has been a relatively high-grade fabric since ancient times, and now after excavation and reuse, it has formed a new fashion in the world.

And these new opportunities are inseparable from a designer named Liang Zi, who has worked tirelessly to discover and redevelop, and now has colorful silk and haute couture clothing that uses only silk silk.

And Laura was one of the designers who sat at the same table at the last Metball charity ball. The work is full of female designers with a strong Chinese style, and the two of them have a good conversation.

Originally, the design styles and concepts of the two had a lot in common, so the two communicated more. A big reason for coming here this time is that Liang Zi took the lead.

Laura also hopes to join the ranks of designers who make good use of silk, which can enrich her own design elements. It can also contribute to the further acceptance and recognition of silk.

In fact, now in the field of high-end customization, high-end fabrics with unique textures such as silk have been widely used. Laura's joining is also a natural move.

There are also many masters of Cantonese embroidery in Guangzhou Province. There are several typical inheritors of intangible heritage recognized by the state alone, so there are definitely many talents at the level of senior embroiderers. It's just hard to say if you can find someone willing to go back to work with Laura.

The reason why Laura has been busy finding so many different silk suppliers lately and is trying to poach them. It's working hard to establish your own brand.

After all, Laura's studio is now well-known on Midi's side. Especially in the area around Los Angeles, and even in the whole of California, Laura is now a familiar name.

And it's not just limited to the fashion world, because as the two racehorses of Stone Ranch become more and more famous, Laura, who appears as the owner every time, naturally receives more and more attention.

And with an interview with People magazine and her appearance on the cover of the more influential Time magazine, Laura's name has become well-known to many people.

As the pride of California, she has also conquered the hearts of many Hollywood stars, so a single clothing studio can no longer meet the demand for increasing orders.

With Laura's current popularity, it is indeed not suitable to just exist in the form of a private studio, and it is imperative to establish a personal brand.

So on this foodie trip, Laura is also building enough teams for herself, and at the same time determining enough supplies.

The part of the silk that Shi Lei prepared for Laura will be used in orders such as clothes specially customized for celebrities, so that they can be more dazzling when attending various red carpet ceremonies, and also make Laura's personal brand more popular.

When Laura was busy, Shi Lei was certainly not idle. He also arranged some tasks for this trip, such as developing some new industries and so on. (To be continued......) R527
