Unexpectedly, no sooner had Yiyezi finished speaking than Lin Banxia cheerfully greeted, "Greetings, Master!"
Yiyezi: "..."
Lin Banxia's straightforwardness made Yiyezi feel embarrassed. She murmured, "I was just kidding."
Lin Banxia: "How can you joke about something as serious as becoming an apprentice? I'm serious, anyway."
Yiyezi blushed. "I'm younger than you, how can I be your master?"
Lin Banxia: "It's alright, I can call you Little Master. When Daoist Qiuting is willing to accept me as a disciple later, I'll call her Big Master. Anyway, our Clear Breeze Temple has always had the tradition of having a junior master, and I've already discovered that, regardless of whether it's a Big Master or a Little Master, anyone who can teach skills is a good master."
Jingting was talking on the phone with his junior master not far away, suddenly sneezed—he had a feeling someone was talking about him behind his back; could it be that his junior master was missing him?
Chapter 85
Daoist Yiyezi used to follow Daoist Qiuting and basically lived a secluded life.
Even when dealing with patients or their families, everyone respects Daoist Qiuting out of respect for her. So it was only when Daoist Yiyezi came to Clear Breeze Temple and met a woman like Lin Banxia who shamelessly followed her around calling her "Little Master" that she realized the outside world was like this.
Well, this was truly an eye-opening experience.
Daoist Qiuting was quite pleased with this.
Faced with Daoist Yiyezi's complaint, Daoist Yiyezi Daoist Qiuting turned around and advised him, "It's understandable that I'm old and prefer a simpler life, but you're different. You're still young. I used to think that you were always around me, and sometimes your words and actions were a bit too old-fashioned. Now, you're always bickering and joking with Xiao Lin, which I think is great. It shows more of a youthful energy and vitality. Indeed, young people should spend more time with other young people..."
Daoist Yiyezi still complained, "Who wants to spend more time with her or play with her? Master, can't you see she's the one who's always bothering me?"
Daoist Qiuting but remained silent. She could tell that Lin Banxia was only clinging to her because she liked Yiyezi. As for Daoist Yiyezi, if she really didn't like Lin Banxia clinging to her, she had plenty of ways to refuse. It could only be said that these two young girls liked and admired each other deep down.
In fact, Daoist Qiuting not only felt that Yiyezi had become more lively after spending more time with Lin Banxia, but even she herself had become more talkative than before because she was taking classes with a group of little children every day.
When Daoist Qiuting was Daoist Yiyezi, Yiyezi was already 10 years old, which meant she was basically in puberty. Unlike now, when she's dealing with a group of young children.
Children are adorable, of course, but they also have their own kind of naivety and fussiness. The more Daoist Qiuting teaches these children, the more she understands how difficult it must have been for her own master.
Her master must have put in a lot of effort beforehand to help her understand those obscure and difficult medical and pharmacological knowledge.
Yun Zhaozhao had initially worried that not many people would come to Clear Breeze Temple after the new temple was built, but it turned out that with the Daoist medical clinic of Daoist Qiuting, not only was the popularity of the new temple boosted, but the popularity of the old temple was also boosted.
After all, although Clear Breeze Temple is on the outskirts of the city, at least there is a bus that goes directly there. Unlike Knowing Autumn Temple, which is really deep in the mountains, not to mention a bus, you can't even drive to the entrance of the temple. You have to get off the bus and walk several hundred meters.
With the old temple becoming increasingly popular, the existing canteen alone was clearly insufficient to meet the needs of so many people. Therefore, a new canteen had to be put into operation as soon as possible.
Previously, Daoist Chang Kong had said that he would select two Daoist priests from this group to take charge of the kitchen work of the Xin Guan cafeteria. Yun Zhaozhao knew that Daoist Chang Kong might be a professional in cooking and training apprentices, but in terms of selecting Daoist Chang Kong, he might not be as good as her and Tang Li.
So after finding out what kind of talents Daoist Chang Kong needed, Yun Zhaozhao and Tang Li spent a long time carefully selecting from all the Daoist priests currently in Clear Breeze Temple. In the end, they chose Daoist Long from the 10 Daoist priests sent by True Yang Temple, and then chose Daoist Zhu from Daoist Yuan and Daoist Zhu.
The reason for choosing Daoist Long Daoist Long that he worked in the canteen at True Yang Temple, so he's a skilled and experienced cook. Daoist Zhu was chosen because he's also a good Daoist Zhu and has family connections to the kitchen; his father is said to have owned a restaurant. Furthermore, Daoist Zhu is from a nearby village, and the people delivering ingredients to the canteen will mostly be locals. Communication between locals is always easier than with outsiders.
Anyway, Yun Zhaozhao had a private conversation with the two people, and then had Daoist Chang Kong personally take them to the kitchen for an assessment. The basic team for the Xin Guan Canteen was temporarily established.
In the past, Clear Breeze Temple had few people, so apart from Daoist Chang Kong, who had a specific specialty and a fixed position, the other Daoists in the temple were randomly assigned to help out wherever they were needed. Sometimes it was in the canteen, sometimes in the backyard...
However, now that there are more and more Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple, Tang Li discussed it with Yun Zhaozhao and said that for those priests whose positions can be fixed, their positions should be fixed as much as possible. This way, if any problems arise in any link in the chain, it will be easier to hold them accountable; of course, if any department performs well, the rewards will also be more justified and based on evidence...
Of course, if it is impossible to fix positions, shifts will be arranged according to the current nature of the work in the Daoist temple. In short, the goal is to make management more standardized in order to reduce the difficulty of management.
Yun Zhaozhao naturally had no objections.
For a Daoist temple to grow and thrive, it must gradually move from chaos to standardization. Clear Breeze Temple has now opened a new temple, so the old management methods are no longer suitable for the current Clear Breeze Temple. Therefore, optimizing management, and even cultivating a suitable management team from among the Daoist priests to build a more appropriate management structure, is definitely a top priority for Clear Breeze Temple in the future.
-
Of course, the selection of management personnel should not be done for the sake of selection; it should be based on reality. Moreover, Yun Zhaozhao believes that truly suitable management talents will naturally emerge at the right time.
Take Tang Li, for example.
When Yun Zhaozhao initially kept the person, she only intended to keep a publicity director. However, she didn't expect that as time went on, this person would become the chief steward of Clear Breeze Temple, or you could say the deputy abbot of Clear Breeze Temple. In any case, before Tang Li came, Yun Zhaozhao made many decisions on her own. Since Tang Li decided to stay, Yun Zhaozhao has become accustomed to discussing things with Tang Li whenever she encounters a problem.
Yun Zhaozhao is currently handling two main tasks: firstly, the preparatory work for the new canteen, and secondly, urging the construction team to expedite the construction of Prosperity Spring and Prosperity Road.
In fact, Clear Breeze Temple is already quite large now. It's not easy for someone who isn't very physically fit to visit the new temple, the old temple, and the back garden of Clear Breeze Temple all in one day.
Simply put, if we consider it solely as a Daoist temple, then Clear Breeze Temple is already perfectly qualified.
After all, Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple Chi to strengthen the body; it also offers what other Daoist temples don't, such as seeking medical treatment and special delicacies. Clear Breeze Temple even provides valuable services such as live streaming and enjoying the beautiful scenery of its back garden.
Simply put, as a Daoist temple, Clear Breeze Temple has already provided more than enough.
But Prosperity Spring and Prosperity Road are Yun Zhaozhao's own personal dreams. She wants a path that is nestled against the mountains and by the water, full of flowers, where she can swim and play in the stream in the summer. So she is naturally very concerned about this.
Even when she was building this, she didn't really think about whether the Prosperity Spring and Prosperity Road would bring any benefits to Clear Breeze Temple; she had already started the preparations.
Fortunately, Clear Breeze Temple is nestled against Clear Breeze Mountain, boasting a uniquely advantageous location. Furthermore, Qingfeng Park itself has become popular thanks to Clear Breeze Temple. Before Clear Breeze Temple gained fame, this park was virtually unknown in City A. Now, with Clear Breeze Temple's online and offline popularity, the park has become a popular tourist attraction, and recently, it has even started selling tickets. Therefore, the park staff are very willing to cooperate with Clear Breeze Temple's efforts, and have even proactively sent a group of park employees to help Clear Breeze Temple clear weeds and pebbles from the roads so that the Clear Breeze Temple Prosperity Spring and Prosperity Road can be opened to the public as soon as possible.
With everyone's concerted efforts, a small stream, large enough for two adults to stand side by side, meandered along the foot of Clear Breeze Mountain all the way to the back garden of Clear Breeze Temple.
The source of this stream is the spring at the foot of Clear Breeze Mountain that Grandpa Lin found with the designer. Now the construction team has enlarged the spring and rebuilt the area around it, lining it with bricks and stones on all four sides. The entire spring is now round on the outside and square on the inside, looking just like a copper coin, which perfectly matches the name " Prosperity Spring ".
Because fresh water needs to be transported from the spring to Clear Breeze Temple, the terrain near the spring definitely needs to be slightly higher than that of Clear Breeze Temple. Fortunately, the construction team can handle these issues. Now, the crystal-clear spring water can flow unimpeded to the back garden of Clear Breeze Temple. In the future, it can not only directly irrigate the various plants in the back garden, but also, with these streams, the flower path that Yun Zhaozhao wanted can be successfully realized.
Planting flowers is easier now than before, since Xiao Yao had already successfully experimented with it in the back garden of Clear Breeze Temple. Moreover, when Xiao Yao left, she left behind quite a few flower seeds. Yun Zhaozhao didn't care and had them all scattered along the stream.
With water and flower seeds, the only thing missing now is fish.
Yun Zhaozhao used to raise fish at Clear Breeze Temple, but back then she mainly raised edible fish. Those fish were excellent for consumption but lacked ornamental value. Clear Breeze Temple is different now, so even when raising fish, she no longer only considers their edibility as she did when she was short of money. Yun Zhaozhao has begun to place more emphasis on their ornamental value.
