Chapter 91 Popular Instagrammable Spots (1)
They talked for about an hour. Since Yufei had class the next day and it was already past 10 pm, Yufei said she had shared her understanding of outdoor variety shows with Uncle Yang.
Yang Yong'an got what he wanted from Yufei, and with the inspiration still in his mind and in his notebook, he hurriedly said goodbye to Yufei's grandfather.
Back at the hotel, Yang Yong'an organized the storm of inspiration swirling in his mind, along with the ideas already jotted down in his notebook and Yufei's suggestions. He worked through the night to turn these into a project proposal.
Yang Yong'an was eager to return to the provincial capital immediately to show the project proposal he had prepared to the leaders of the station, hoping for its swift approval so he could begin attracting investment. He couldn't wait to see the results.
However, dreams are beautiful, but reality is harsh. He certainly can't go back now, since he came to Longyuan Town mainly at the invitation of the town government.
Yesterday they only took some cursory photos of the flowers in the town; today they're going with the leaders to some of the springtime "Instagrammable" spots that Yufei mentioned.
They didn't know what a "celebrity hotspot" was before, but after Yufei explained it, they realized and felt that Yufei's explanation was quite accurate.
Popular online spots for taking souvenir photos, like Longyuan Town, are examples. Yang Yong'an, in all honesty, stated that it wasn't an invitation from the town leaders, but rather his own choice as a tourist, that led him to these places.
He's willing to come, and he'll even bring his wife and daughter; he's sure they'll love it here.
Yang Yong'an fell silent for a moment, thinking about this. Should he act instead of just thinking about it? It seemed like it had been a long time since he had spent time with his wife and daughter!
No, no, what is he thinking? He needs to show his project to the station leaders as soon as possible and try to get it approved quickly.
Since it was a popular spot recommended by Yufei, he definitely had to check it out. Yang Yong'an and his accompanying cameraman were full of anticipation.
Soon they arrived by bus in the rural fields belonging to Longyuan Town. Sitting in the car, Yang Yong'an witnessed a breathtaking sight he had never seen before.
The first thing that catches the eye is a golden wave of flowers—the rapeseed flowers are in bloom. Yufei has cultivated three varieties of rapeseed: white, pale yellow, and golden yellow. Several dozen acres are planted with them, creating a gradient of colors.
Actually, it looks even better from the air. Yufei's regret is that drones aren't widely available yet, so she can't use one to film her rapeseed field.
Otherwise, she would show them what true awe is! Of course, this rapeseed field isn't just a tourist hotspot; it's also a source of income for their town. The rapeseed flowers, thanks to spatial improvements, are numerous and large.
The rapeseed produced was plentiful, with a high oil yield. Furthermore, samples were submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for inspection, and the oil quality was rated as top grade, containing abundant unsaturated fatty acids and unique X elements.
This oil is also being researched in a department specifically established by Da Xia for Junlin Foods. Through small animal experiments, they discovered that mice and beagles that consumed it for a long time had shiny, moisturized fur.
Animals that started eating this oil from a young age were significantly larger than their peers, and their immune systems were also much stronger.
They used these animals in other antiviral experiments, and achieved good results.
It can also effectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and long-term use can even kill cancer cells.
This shocked and drove all the scientists at the institute to despair, but like their counterparts abroad, they were still unable to extract the related element X from rapeseed oil.
They're not too demanding about this aspect right now; they just want to see if they can get these products into mass production.
Currently, all rapeseed oil produced in Longyuan Town is either used in the pharmaceutical industry or is supplied under special regulations.
Because production couldn't be increased, large quantities couldn't enter the market. The small amount that did enter was bought up at high prices by those with strong financial resources.
The Junlin rapeseed oil currently on the market is being called "soft gold" by many, and its price has been driven very high. Some people even treat it as a collectible or a financial investment.
This has led to the formation of a profession: Junlin buyers, who are specifically tasked with guarding the shops owned by Junlin, and who will snap up any goods that appear as soon as they appear.
Then they would turn around and resell them to others at higher prices. Yufei had heard about this, but there was nothing she could do about it. All she could do was ensure that the prices in their own shops were uniform.
Beyond the rapeseed field was a rose field of over ten acres. The rose buds were much larger than the roses outside, about the size of Yufei's small rice bowl.
Town leaders told Yang Yong'an that their roses have a very long blooming period, basically from March to mid-September and still in bloom.
As they walked along, they saw roses of all colors, a breathtaking sight.
Tulip-colored, blue roses, black and gold roses, and multicolored gradient roses are the most eye-catching, and the photographers around Yang Yong'an are capturing this rose field from every angle.
They spent the entire morning just visiting these two places. There's a completely glass-enclosed guesthouse inside the rose garden where you can dine and relax.
It was almost noon, so they enjoyed their meal inside the rose greenhouse.
Today, the leaders of Longyuan Town specifically instructed the chef at the flower shop that the dishes would be ready by the time Yang Yong'an and his group arrived.
There are a total of 5 pots: braised turtle, braised mandarin fish, stewed cured pork with bamboo shoots, stewed free-range chicken, and braised beef brisket. In addition to these main dishes, there are also some side dishes.
The dishes are also very characteristic of Longyuan, such as spicy crayfish, stir-fried eel, pan-fried loach, double-pepper fish head, spicy snails, etc.
The rice wine provided by Yufei, paired with these dishes, was simply heavenly; everyone, host and guests, was delighted.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the people who had been hosting Director Yang didn't let them get moving immediately, but instead took them to enjoy a massage.
The massage oil came from this very rose field. Smelling the fragrance of the roses, Yang Yong'an and the others quickly drifted off to sleep, their dreams filled with the scent of rose petals.
Around 2 AM, they were woken up from a sweet dream. Being interrupted from a dream should be very unpleasant, but Yang Yong'an and his group weren't.
On the contrary, I felt refreshed and energized. I slept very comfortably, all the previous fatigue disappeared, and my mind and body were very relaxed and pleasant.
This is one of the benefits of the massage I had after dinner, which used rose essential oil.
At the same time, a female stagehand who came with Yang Yong'an was also surprised to find that her skin, which had become rough from being exposed to the wind and sun, suddenly became smooth and radiant at noon. She even felt as if she had become whiter, and she didn't know if it was her imagination!
