The director immediately backed down. "Fine, then let Daoist Chang Kong do whatever he wants for dinner. Our crew will eat whatever he makes."

Daoist Cen and his group came to deliver boxed lunches, they also brought back some dried fish and green mangoes that Yun Zhaozhao had brought back from her team-building trip in Banyan City, which they shared with the crew.
The entire crew had just finished a sumptuous and delicious lunch, and now they were being treated to snacks and fruits by Clear Breeze Temple. They all felt that Clear Breeze Temple was very hospitable and generous.
The way people get along is based on mutual respect. Yun Zhaozhao was so cooperative with the crew that when the crew finished filming " The Subduing Demons," the photographers used all sorts of skills to take promotional photos of Yun Zhaozhao and Clear Breeze Temple.
He not only took several photos of everyone at Clear Breeze Temple, but he also filmed a promotional video for Clear Breeze Temple.
The promotional video begins with the main gate of Clear Breeze Temple, slowly zooming in. The first to appear are Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao practicing Tai Chi Chuan. They each demonstrate their techniques for a few seconds before sparring. The camera then continues to pan down, revealing Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao's two newly recruited disciples. If the scene of Daoist Cen and Daoist Mao's appearance represents the martial arts aspect of Clear Breeze Temple, then the scene of the two disciples' appearance represents the Clear Breeze Temple aspect.
The two men were dressed in Daoist robes and held Daoist scriptures, exuding an air of refined elegance.
The scene then changes, and it's Jingting's turn to appear.
Jingting still has two jobs at Clear Breeze Temple: one is still the sweeping monk, and the other is still live streaming.
The production team filmed both of these identities. First, they filmed Jingting sweeping the courtyard with a large broom, and then the camera switched to Jingting debating with a group of people in a live broadcast room.
As soon as the story of "Jingting " ended, the scene shifted to the Clear Breeze Temple canteen.
Daoist Chang Kong, dressed in a Daoist robe, was flipping a ladle so fast it seemed to fly.
Finally, there's a brief shot of Yun Zhaozhao leading Xiaojiu, Xiao Yao, and Lin Banxia onto the scene.
Although the entire promotional video is only about 10 seconds long, it showcases the characteristics of each Daoist priest at Clear Breeze Temple. Moreover, the camera crew, being born to shoot short videos, demonstrates exceptional professionalism in the layering of the footage, the smoothness of transitions, and even the use of establishing shots. As a result, the promotional video for a Daoist temple looks like a trailer for a blockbuster movie.
Anyway, Yun Zhaozhao was quite satisfied with it. She immediately asked the photographer to send the promotional video and photos to Tang Li. With the photos and promotional video, Yun Zhaozhao didn't need to worry about the rest of the work, because the hardworking and capable Tang Li would handle it.

When Grandpa Lin heard that Yun Zhaozhao Yun Zhaozhao to build another artificial irrigation canal at Clear Breeze Temple, he specially chose a time to come and see where it would be suitable to dig a well and a water source.
It has to be said that experienced elders like this are indeed much better than young people like Yun Zhaozhao and the designer. The problem that had troubled Yun Zhaozhao and the designer for several days was solved by Grandpa Lin in less than half a day.
Because Grandpa Lin walked around the foot of Clear Breeze Mountain, he eventually found a spring hidden by bushes somewhere at the foot of the mountain.
Spring water is always flowing water, and it is generally warm in winter and cool in summer.
Moreover, with a spring, there's no need to drill holes or dig wells, nor to connect any water pipes. All that's needed is to dig canals and build paths along the spring to realize the scene of babbling brooks and springs that Yun Zhaozhao had imagined.
The designer later came to see the spring that Grandpa Lin had found and also approved of Grandpa Lin's plan.
Now let's see how to make good use of this spring and how to add a unique water feature to the existing Clear Breeze Temple New View design.
The designer's idea was to first build a deep pool near the spring, and then divert the spring water to the area around the new Clear Breeze Temple. The spring water would then flow around the new temple, making the new Clear Breeze Temple stand like a small island in the middle.
As for why the water wasn't channeled into the Daoist temple, it's because construction had already begun there, and revising the plans now would be too difficult. Furthermore, the original temple was designed along a central axis, allowing visitors to see the innermost courtyard of the new temple from the main gate. If a water channel were to be channeled through the middle, it would feel like splitting the new Clear Breeze Temple in two with water, which doesn't seem particularly appropriate.
Yun Zhaozhao didn't insist. She was already very satisfied with the current outcome. The only problem was, if a pool were to be built at the spring, shouldn't it be given an auspicious name? Otherwise, how would it attract visitors?
The designer, who is from Guangdong, suggested, "I don't know if there's a saying that water brings prosperity in other places, but it's true where I'm from. So I think this spring could be called the 'Prosperity Spring'."
Yun Zhaozhao: "..." I never expected you to have such a simple naming style. I thought you were going to name it Fuguiquan!
Chapter 69
The designer speaks Mandarin with a slight accent, and when he says "Fa Quan," it sounds a bit like "Fa Qian." Although Yun Zhaozhao dislikes his simple and crude way of naming, she secretly thinks the name is quite cute.
Although the name is still pending, the issue of the spring seems to be resolved. Now it depends on how the designer plans to design it and how the construction company plans to carry it out.
Although Grandpa Lin lived quite close to Clear Breeze Temple, he was usually busy and rarely came up. Since he was here today, Yun Zhaozhao naturally invited him to stay for dinner.
Grandpa Lin didn't refuse. Before dinner, he took the opportunity to give Yun Zhaozhao a report on the accounts and the progress of the work at the farm.
Since Zhang Lu and Xiao Yao and the other students returned to school, Grandpa Lin, following Yun Zhaozhao's advice, started asking people in the village for help. Most of the villagers are elderly, but even those in their sixties are still quite capable at farm work. So, after a period of selection and screening, Grandpa Lin has now formed a team of about 10 elderly people in the village, specifically responsible for the management of the tea garden, rice paddies, wheat fields, and chicken farm.
With this group of senior citizens, Grandpa Lin can now go all out and do big things. He can raise all the poultry he wanted to raise when Grandpa Lin was young, and he even wants to contract a few hundred more acres of land to grow a new batch of crops, such as corn and millet.
Unlike the younger students like Xiao Yao, the senior citizens' group doesn't understand science and technology or advanced theories. They rely more on experience to manage these things. Yun Zhaozhao couldn't say whether the former or the latter was better, but anyway, the agricultural school had already made arrangements, and students would be sent over for internships later. Ideally, the university students' scientific agricultural and breeding techniques and theories would be combined with the senior citizens' agricultural and breeding experience, making Clear Breeze Temple's agricultural development invincible.
And although Grandpa Lin didn't have much formal education and couldn't read many words, he kept a very clear record of his accounts. Yun Zhaozhao could easily see where all his money had gone with just a quick glance, and in addition to the project details, he had also pasted all the invoices on the back of the account sheet.
After reading it, Yun Zhaozhao felt that she really should kowtow to Grandpa Lin.
But bowing was out of the question, so Yun Zhaozhao ultimately decided to pay respects to Grandpa Lin.
Clear Breeze Temple now has quite a few fruit wines, such as grape wine, bayberry wine, plum wine, and grape wine... Basically, Clear Breeze Temple has almost every kind of fruit wine that can be named on the market. But in fact, Daoist Chang Kong himself doesn't drink much, so Yun Zhaozhao can only understand that brewing wine, like making other delicacies, is one of Daoist Chang Kong's great hobbies.
However, Grandpa Lin clearly does drink alcohol.
He revealed that he had a nickname when he was young: " Lin Sanjin " (meaning "Lin Three Jin"), which meant he could drink three jin (1.5 kg) of baijiu (Chinese liquor) without any problem. However, now that he is older, he can't drink like he used to, and usually just drinks some health-preserving liquor.
But regardless, given his alcohol tolerance, drinking this low-alcohol fruit wine...
It's really similar to drinking a beverage.
Yun Zhaozhao watched him drink heartily, one cup after another, and was quite worried that he would get drunk. However, his own granddaughter Lin Banxia, was not worried at all.
Lin Banxia: "It's alright, let him drink. This little bit of fruit wine is nothing to our Comrade Lin Sanjin. He used to drink a cup of medicinal wine by himself every night after finishing his baijiu! You know, our family's medicinal wine is made with high-proof baijiu, and its potency is no less than that of pure baijiu."
Upon hearing Lin Banxia's words, everyone else praised the old man, saying, "Amazing! Amazing!"
Only Yun Zhaozhao's thoughts wandered for a moment. "Medicated wine... Come to think of it, this does indeed constitute a new business opportunity. We could arrange to sell it if the opportunity arises later."
The crowd was somewhat surprised, yet it seemed to make sense. This was the Temple Master Yun they knew.

At Yun Zhaozhao's request, Lin Banxia had been developing a medicine to treat plant pests and diseases, and had made some progress in this area.
These medicinal solutions are all formulated using Chinese herbs from the herb garden according to pharmacological principles. Because they are medicinal solutions, they are not sold to outsiders and are only used within the Clear Breeze Temple.
Lin Banxia first used the pesticide on a few plants in the back garden on a small scale. Once she confirmed that the pesticide could indeed treat pests and would not have any side effects on the flowers and plants, she began to use it on a large scale in the back garden of Clear Breeze Temple.
During the spraying of pesticides, the backyard of Clear Breeze Temple will also be temporarily closed, as this is related to the safety of visitors. Fortunately, the backyard of Clear Breeze Temple is only used for display and is not for business purposes, so even if it is temporarily closed, it will not affect Clear Breeze Temple's daily sales.
When Xiao Yao was here before, many of the flowers and plants in the backyard had already bloomed. At that time, they were very popular and served as an important medium for painting activities. Now that some flowers Xie Le and others have bloomed again, Yun Zhaozhao is thinking about whether she can find a suitable time to sell some of the flowers and plants in Clear Breeze Temple.
