Yes, it can be said that it fundamentally solves the parents' worries that their children will become Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple in the future.
After all, if your child wants to become a Daoist priest at Clear Breeze Temple, he at least has to get into university first.
Not only did Mrs. Wang bring her son Wang Ziyu when she came to Clear Breeze Temple this time, Xu Fugui also brought Xu Tingting was on vacation.
The last time Yun Zhaozhao saw Xu Tingting was when Xu Fugui was hospitalized for surgery. At that time, Xu Tingting was a senior college student worrying about finding a job. Now, when they meet again, Xu Tingting is a working dog who has been worn down by society for a while.
Xu Tingting's visit this time was not only a return to familiar places, but also a special trip to fulfill her promise to donate a small sum of money to Clear Breeze Temple.
Although the donation wasn't much, the feeling was somewhat like a successful alumnus returning to their alma mater to donate money, a sense of returning home in glory.
Although Clear Breeze Temple wasn't exactly Xu Tingting's alma mater, Xu Tingting felt that it played a significant role in helping her find a job after graduation. After all, her time as a campus agent at Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple only provided her with valuable work experience but also saved her a considerable amount of money. From graduation until she found her job, she used the money she earned at Clear Breeze Temple.
As the saying goes, a drop of water in need is repaid with a spring of water, so her return today can be seen as a way of giving back to Clear Breeze Temple.
Yun Zhaozhao was naturally delighted by this, but she was even happier for Xu Tingting.
She couldn't help but ask about Xie Yu's recent situation. Learning that Xie Yu had gone to another city with her boyfriend and that both her work and relationship were going well, she felt even more gratified. "That's great, that's great. It seems our Clear Breeze Temple is quite auspicious. Anyone who has worked at Clear Breeze Temple, at least in terms of their career, has had a pretty good time."
Xu Tingting: "That's true. I've always felt that Clear Breeze Temple is a place with excellent feng shui."
Yun Zhaozhao reached out and patted Xu Tingting on the shoulder. "These days, there aren't many college students like you who know how to appreciate things."
Xu Tingting: "..."

Mrs. Wang and her group visited the orchard in the backyard, enjoyed picking fruit, and then tasted the fresh fruit from Clear Breeze Temple. Afterwards, they went to see Prosperity Spring and walked along Prosperity Road.
Prosperity Road has been beautifully renovated. The stream is crystal clear, with fish swimming happily in it. Some of the flower seeds along the roadside have already sprouted. Although it hasn't reached the point of being a full blooming landscape yet, the presence of this spring is already a delight to behold.
Moreover, with this stream, Clear Breeze Temple has truly become a Daoist temple suitable for all ages.
After all, regardless of age, everyone who comes to Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple can quickly find a way to pass the time. For example, the elderly can burn incense and pray for blessings in the temple, young people can pick fruit and admire flowers in the backyard, and children can go wading and fishing in the stream at Prosperity Road and Prosperity Spring.
Previously, the old Clear Breeze Temple was too busy to manage, so mealtimes were limited. But now that the new temple has opened, Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple more staff, so the food service hours have been extended. Even if it's past mealtime and there are no more main meals available in the canteen, customers can still buy snacks, fruits, and drinks at the Clear Breeze Temple canteen.
Furthermore, because the food, drinks, and fruits at Clear Breeze Temple were in high demand, Yun Zhaozhao later added three more shops near the new temple. One shop was used to sell souvenirs related to Clear Breeze Temple, while the other two shops were used to sell snacks, drinks, and fruits.
Previously, the souvenirs of Clear Breeze Temple were all made by Yun Zhaozhao and Daoist Chang Kong. Although the sales were not bad, and even considered good, the two of them had limited abilities. Now, the souvenirs of Clear Breeze Temple are the result of Clear Breeze Temple, so the variety of souvenirs has increased considerably.
For example, the previous souvenir series were mostly bamboo carvings, wood carvings, or bamboo leaf bookmarks. Later, the Daoist priests from True Yang Pass came over and, following the customs of True Yang Temple, designed several sets of postcards for Clear Breeze Temple. They also designed some cushions, scarves, gloves, and the like based on the characters of Clear Breeze Temple.
These items are certainly not as special as bamboo or tree carvings, but they are easy to carry and cheaper than bamboo or tree carvings, making them suitable as gifts for relatives and friends. As a result, they sell better than bamboo or tree carvings.
In fact, after running Clear Breeze Temple for so long, Yun Zhaozhao has thoroughly figured out the rules of its operation. Simply put, you can't be completely aloof and exclusive, but you also can't be completely mediocre. You need to retain some of the basic elements of a Daoist temple while creating something unique that others don't have. This way, your Daoist temple can retain its own characteristics while also possessing a unique flavor that other Daoist temples don't have.
Yun Zhaozhao also replicated this Daoist temple management philosophy in her guesthouse. The Daoist temple guesthouse not only needs to have the tranquility, elegance, human touch, and comfort that ordinary guesthouses have, but also needs to have Daoist elements that other guesthouses do not have.
When Clear Breeze Temple was planning to open a guesthouse, many Daoist temples donated a batch of their most treasured possessions, including many items unique to Daoism, such as the " Yellow Court Classic " (Yellow Court Classic), stone and jade carvings, and Daoist ritual implements.
What Yun Zhaozhao needs to do is to place these things in the most suitable places in the guesthouse, and try to make them play their maximum role.
For the guesthouse courtyard design, Yun Zhaozhao ultimately adopted the design from the second designer she had previously contacted.
This designer also has some religious beliefs, so many of the small design ideas and clever touches for the guesthouse actually fit Yun Zhaozhao's requirements quite well. For example, the previous courtyard designer always wanted Yun Zhaozhao to build a grape trellis in the yard and then plant water lilies or something, but Yun Zhaozhao didn't particularly like those ideas.
Because there are already many grape trellises and even rose walls around the Daoist temple, after seeing Yun Zhaozhao's courtyard, the courtyard designer suggested that a small artificial lake could be built in the courtyard, where lotus seeds could be scattered and some lotus flowers and lotus pods could be planted.
As for the tea tree that Yun Zhaozhao wanted, Yun Zhaozhao courtyard designer also made a proper arrangement for it. The designer will build a teahouse by this small artificial lake. The teahouse will be built with wood, and a terrace will be built. In the middle of the terrace will be the tea tree that Yun Zhaozhao wanted, and under the tea tree, a tea table will be built with stone tables and benches.
Guests at the guesthouse can enjoy tea and conversation on the terrace, and Yun Zhaozhao can also invite Daoist priests skilled in tea ceremony to teach them the art.
Clear Breeze Temple has its own tea garden, and the tea will definitely need a suitable sales channel. If the tea house near the guesthouse can be managed well, it will also benefit the tea operation at the agricultural base.
In any business, one must try to be as comprehensive as possible. Since Clear Breeze Temple, the guesthouse, and the agricultural base are all Yun Zhaozhao 'Yun Zhaozhao own businesses, she naturally hopes that these places can help each other.
After reviewing her design sketches, Yun Zhaozhao spoke with the designer twice more in private and then decided to entrust her with the courtyard design.
After all, while the college students' designs were cost-effective, Yun Zhaozhao today is no longer the Yun Zhaozhao who was short of money back then.

Yun Zhaozhao has been working hard to promote Clear Breeze Temple, while Wen Xu, the rich second-generation young master, has one of his daily tasks being to take good care of his stomach.
After finally getting a table number at the old Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple, he enjoyed a delicious meal there. He had thought that making a reservation once would give him special privileges and allow him to dine there without a reservation, but it turned out that Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple didn't offer any special privileges at all; each reservation only worked once, and he still had to make a reservation for the next meal.
Moreover, making a reservation at Clear Breeze Temple is incredibly difficult. The last time Wenxu managed to get a Wen Xu, it felt like she was just lucky. Many of the reservations at Clear Breeze Temple were already booked a week in advance.
Although Wen Xu was bored, he couldn't possibly wait in City A just to have a couple more meals. So, in the end, he bought a bunch of local specialties at Clear Breeze Temple, packed several boxes of fruit, and then reluctantly went home.
When Song Qinglan saw her son return carrying large bags, but his expression was unreadable, making her feel uneasy, she couldn't help but try to guess what he was thinking as she cautiously asked, "... What's wrong? Did your trip not go well?"
Wen Xu casually replied, "It's just like that."
Song Qinglan: "Is it quite difficult?"
Wen Xu: "Don't even mention it, it's practically impossible."
Song Qinglan couldn't help but feel sorry for her son for three seconds. Logically speaking, her son was handsome and from a good family; if he were just a little more proactive, most girls would be throwing themselves at him. But judging from her son's attitude, it seemed this girl didn't even like him. She wondered if her standards were just too high...
No problem, if the son isn't up to par, the mother will step in.
Song Qinglan: "Didn't your dad say before that you should come back and inherit the family business after graduation? I recently discussed it with your dad, and since the new factory in City A is about to be built, we'll need a trustworthy person to manage it. Why don't you go there then? It'll be good for you to train at the grassroots level for two years. On the one hand, it will improve your own abilities, and on the other hand, it will allow the other uncles and elders in the company to see your capabilities."
Wen Xu studied business administration in college. His family has always raised him to be the heir, since he is the only son in the family and his parents are getting old. They will not be able to pass these things on to him in the future, and they have no other siblings to share the burden.
So Wen Xu didn't particularly object. His only surprise was that his father would agree, "My dad has always considered the factory his life and has never believed in my abilities. Why is he so quick to agree to let me take charge of the branch factory this time? Isn't he afraid I'll ruin his factory?"
