Chapter 271: A Foodie's Journey

The range of goals of the two is relatively wide, and several of the country's more famous food capitals are within the scope of this visit.

Of course, the two didn't just come to play, Laura also had to contact some more silk suppliers for her clothing studio. It's best to find a few different embroiderers to go back and continue to enrich your clothing ornament category.

The last time I found a few embroiderers from Suzhou and Hangzhou, they achieved very good results. However, there is also a cycle in the work of embroiderers, and after this golden time, the craftsmanship of these embroiderers may decline. Hand-eye coordination is no longer as peak as before.

So Laura has to keep thinking about introducing different embroiderers from China, who will let her not train embroiderers. However, China has a relatively complete cultivation mechanism, even if it is used to bring the old with the new, it can also cultivate many outstanding talents.

The first stop of the two was Suzhou, where in addition to the famous gardens, there was also Song Jin, one of the important purposes of Laura's trip.

The last few embroiderers were basically masters of Song Jin, and they achieved good results after being brought back by Laura, and many Chinese elements in Laura's design are suitable for Song Jin craftsmanship to come out.

And with several stunning appearances of the Mother of the Nation, Song Jin's luxurious clothing has also achieved greater popularity around the world. At the summit, after the leaders of various countries unveiled a new Chinese costume made of Song Jin, its popularity reached its peak.

In addition to experiencing the local deliciousness, Laura and Shi Lei came here this time to find local manufacturers and negotiate the supply of raw materials. In addition, of course, I also want to poach a few master embroiderers.

However, firstly, this master-level embroiderer is rare, and the embroiderer who is willing to work abroad is even rarer, and secondly, Laura's last poaching behavior has aroused the vigilance of many factories with senior embroiderers. They all hid these high-level talents like treasures, and the two of them didn't have a chance to meet Du, so it was even more impossible to find suitable people.

So this trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou. In addition to contacting more suppliers with different characteristics, the two have nothing to gain in terms of senior talents.

Of course, the two also made up for their previous regrets by the way. I made up for all the delicious foods that I couldn't taste the last time I came here. They are all looking for those time-honored brands that are not obvious, but the taste is absolutely authentic, and you can taste the real local specialties.

In Shi Lei's view, the most important harvest in Suzhou and Hangzhou is, of course, the small silkworm farm he has bought. The batch of mulberry silk that he had transformed was of better quality than the best celestial silk, and all the silks had been made into fine silk by the hands of the cooperative manufacturers.

For this batch of silk, which is inconspicuous in the eyes of everyone, Shi Lei specially arranged for his own industrial steward Greens to go to the silk factory and squat for a while. It wasn't until all this batch of mulberry silk was made into finished silk and all packaged and sent out that Greens went back and continued to keep an eye on the operation of other industries.

This batch of silk is Shi Lei's killer weapon for Laura, and if it is used as a special fabric for high-end private customization, it will definitely add a lot of points to Laura's works.

Although in the process of processing these mulberry silks, the workers do not feel the difference between these things. After all, it has a tensile resistance like spider silk and 100 times that of steel.

But after all, it is not a hundred times the hardness of steel, and the cocoon is still the master who can be done with a pair of scissors. At most, it's a little more effort, but it's nothing more than cutting a silk thread, and the feeling is really not very obvious.

On the contrary, after entering the silk factory. It became that when silk appeared, these workers who often dealt with all kinds of silk. You can feel this obvious difference in quality.

However, they also belong to the processing of supplied materials, and they are not uncommon in things like Tencel. After all, being in the land of silk, he is definitely well-informed, so he is only a little curious about this batch of silk, and it has not yet reached the point where they disregard the rules of the industry and the reputation of their own factories and engage in some stealing and changing pillars.

Especially with Greens on hand to supervise the whole time. Don't forget that Greens Children's Shoes is a strict German, and there is definitely no lack of strict side in his character, which is also an important reason why Shi Lei is relieved that he will supervise the various industries under his control.

Sending Grims over this time is not without this consideration, and Grims also understands his role and tasks very well, so he can do his job well every time. Very satisfying to Shi Lei. This can be felt from the big red envelope that Shi Lei gave him every time.

Shi Lei and Laura's second stop was in another ancient capital, Jinling. The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, ten miles of Qinhuai. There are so many places that you have to go here and feel the religious atmosphere in the various temples. On the bank of the Qinhuai River in ten miles, reminisce about the ancient customs.

Of course, after knowing what the banks of the Qinhuai River were used for in ancient times, well, it was obvious that it was the historical situation that Shi Lei's mouth was crooked, and Laura looked at Shi Lei's eyes a little unhappy.

However, after seeing the places full of classical style such as the inner and outer Qinhuai painting boats, Laura temporarily forgot about Shi Lei's inconsistencies. After visiting the Yunjin Museum, Laura was even more impressed by this skill that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Naturally, Laura must work hard to find a few Yunjin masters, and a place like the south of the old city where craftsmen are more concentrated is a good entry point.

I have to say that Laura's luck is still good, and she even moved a master at the level of a craft inheritor, and agreed to return to Santa Barbara with them, because this master also wants to show his level on the world stage.

Of course, when you arrive in Jinling, all kinds of ducks are a must-try. Jinling's duck-making technology can be said to be famous for a long time, as early as more than 1,400 years ago in the Southern Dynasties.

In addition to Jinling roast duck, plate duck, salted duck, roast duck, Jinling sauce duck, crispy duck, Babao pearl duck, salted duck gizzard and so on also have their own characteristics. In addition, Jinling's Longchi crucian carp is famous for its small head, large body, thick back and empty belly, and delicate and delicious meat.

All the well-known restaurants in Jinling, including Lao Zhengxing Restaurant, Ma Xiangxing Restaurant, Luliuju Vegetable Restaurant, Quyuan Restaurant, Dasanyuan Restaurant, etc., have all left the footprints of two big foodies.

The two of them will definitely not miss the Dashiba Food Street next to the Confucius Temple, and they just went there to fill their stomachs when they visited the Confucius Temple.

However, Shi Lei is relatively interested here. It is also the former residence of the famous Shen Wansan. That is a real rich person, since ancient times, on the way to business, the only businessman who has run a country like Lü Buwei.

It's a pity that they were slaughtered by the emperor who was close to them. Even the famous red-capped businessman Hu Xueyan is like this. Compared to these two, they are a little worse.

Regarding the statement that Shen Wansan has a cornucopia, it has always been talked about. The same what Shen Wansan's treasure. Rumors about how much gold and silver are buried in their own vaults are not uncommon, and I don't know if it is a fake news deliberately released by the staff here in order to attract tourists.

For example, in the case of the Loch Ness Monster, it has been reported that it is an artificially created image by the locals. However, Shi Lei still has reservations about this.

Thinking about the Fox River Ranch, the fierce beast Shankahualaijin that has now been picked up by the department that does not exist zài, you know that this world is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there are so many creatures that have never been seen and there is nothing strange.

Scientists still discover so many new species every year, and who knows if it won't be something else that hasn't been discovered. For example, the savages of the Shennong primeval forest. And the snowman on the snowy mountain, etc., of course, I can't deny their existence if I haven't seen it.

Of course, when Shi Lei went to Shen Wansan's house this time, it was obvious that he couldn't find any hidden treasures, not even a lost silver ingot or anything.

In order to alleviate this loss, Shi Lei turned his head and went to the Confucius Temple, and exchanged two old objects that claimed to have been used by Shen Wansan back then. Take it back and use it as an ornament, it's good to set off the atmosphere at home or in a private restaurant, at least this thing looks really antique.

But if you think you're lucky, if you can really pick up two antiques from the Ming Dynasty for a hundred yuan, or you're the son of Lady Luck. Either you have a big brain, this is reading novels and watching magic.

After worshipping this money-making expert, Shi Lei had some understanding. At least one truth can be understood. If you want to make your business big enough, you really have to invest in a country, or you have to be close to politics.

But the example of their final failure also shows that it is certainly not possible to get too close, otherwise they will inevitably be killed and eaten as piglets.

After seeing these places of interest, Shi Lei also deliberately took Laura to various anti-Japanese war memorial sites to have a look. Shi Lei explained to Laura by the way, so that Laura could more deeply understand the origin of the Chinese people's love for the island people.

Especially at the last stop, the Holocaust Memorial Hall, Shi Lei went with a bouquet of chrysanthemums to express his grief. And Laura learned about the heinous behavior of those intruders back then. also completely understood why Shi Lei and they had such a relationship.

Whenever Shi Lei remembers words like "killing competition" that he saw in history textbooks when he was a child, his mood is always complicated.

Even though I wasn't very old at that time. When Shi Lei saw the content that was not the main text, he still saw tears and a broken look.

So the last time I went to the island country, I had a chance to take revenge and go back. Shi Lei did not hesitate to choose the mildest on the surface, but in fact it was the most violent and ferocious means of revenge.

As a result, even now, there are very few beef that can be considered Wagyu beef on the island side, and the top snowflake Wagyu beef is very rare.

Whoever makes ants and bees are very capable guys, Shi Lei has transformed them into the king of the queen and the queen bee. As a result, all the cattle in the area of origin of these Wagyu cattle are shocked three times a day.

The locals had to start exterminating ants and bees on a large scale, but they didn't dare to go too far, after all, it was their own ecology that was destroyed.

After feeling the style of Jinling for thousands of years and deliberately going to Tangshan Hot Spring to relax, Shi Lei and his team set off again and flew to Jinguancheng, another food capital that is definitely famous and is also the capital of slow life. (To be continued)
