The wall of this shop facing the street uses a large amount of specially made high-transparency, low-reflection glass. If it weren’t for the extrely high door-like low wall intentionally installed at the bottom, Feng Yuan suspected that many people would accidentally walk into the glass, not realizing its presence.
Consequently, the extensive use of glass results in excellent lighting inside, making it quite bright without the need to turn on any lights. As Feng Yuan walked into the store from the main entrance, he noticed that the temperature control system was already on.
The young lady, who was behind the counter doing sothing, heard the noise and hurriedly put her phone away inside the counter, saying
"Welco~ How many of you are there, and what would you like to eat?"
"Here is our nu, of course, since you chose our shop, you definitely want to try our specialty red tea eggs. I recomnd you consider this set al..."
Feng Yuan scratched his head, not quite understanding the situation, as the lady suddenly beca very enthusiastic. After studying the nu a bit, he said
"I’ll take this then. As for the others, um, they don’t seem very famous or distinctive."
"The local chicken and special Yun tea have their respective dishes, though it seems the ingredients here are quite ordinary."
Dou Yanlan glanced at the waitress as she said this, and the waitress nodded, saying
"The guest is right; except for the red tea eggs, other dishes in our store are mainly made from ordinary ingredients. However, wouldn’t it be a bit too simple to just eat red tea eggs?"
"Why not try this pairing? Although black cloud tea and our red tea eggs aren’t a perfect match, they actually taste quite good together ~"
"Black cloud tea... isn’t that a specialty near Gaoshan Ridge? Can you really make it well?"
Suspiciously looking at the waitress, Feng Yuan hesitated a bit. He hadn’t tried black cloud tea before. Cha Mu Town had many specialties; so were limited in production, so lacked distinctiveness, and sotis there were other reasons, but these products usually didn’t appear in Cha Mu Town or regular specialty stores.
This ant there were many specialties in the Cha Mu Town area that Feng Yuan hadn’t encountered.
Like Gaoshan Ridge, besides the special Yun tea and Gaoshan Ridge chicken, there were many special variations of crops and livestock, but Gaoshan Ridge itself isn’t particularly large, which makes the output of those special products not high. That’s why this shop only has red tea eggs as the local specialty.
Both Gaoshan Ridge chicken and local fiery red pigs are rather famous specialties. However, due to production issues, they’re not only expensive but also booked in advance every year, so there’s no surplus available for this store.
The waitress might have noticed Feng Yuan’s thoughts, so she didn’t continue introducing but warmly invited Feng Yuan’s group to visit their village if they had ti.
It was then that Feng Yuan realized that she was part of one of the villages around Gaoshan Ridge. Initially, they were there to sell red tea eggs at the invitation of Maomu City, but later, as He Nanqing’s plan unfolded, a tourism developnt plan was reportedly initiated locally as well.
"It seems a bit strange to develop tourism in Gaoshan Ridge, which has always focused on specialties."
Resting both hands on an antique-styled large wooden table, Feng Yuan voiced his doubts. The shop was specifically decorated in the style of an ancient tea house, with long benches paired with the large wooden table. While the decoration was quite interesting, Feng Yuan’s mind was on the tourism plan.
He couldn’t quite understand what He Nanqing intended to do. If they planned to develop tourism, they shouldn’t need to include places like Gaoshan Ridge.
After all, aside from the unique plants and animals, the scenery there wasn’t particularly special.
"I don’t know. But judging by the tiline, it seems it was completed before the construction of Cha Mu Specialty Town. Besides Cha Mu Specialty Town, there are recent plans for specialty towns in several nearby town areas. Could there be so connection?"
Rubbing her chin, Dou Yanlan said, her intuition telling her that it might be related to the planning of Maomu City, but she wasn’t sure about the exact situation.
"Hmm... never mind, let’s wait until we have a chance to ask He Nanqing what’s going on."
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan admitted his confusion, sensing that there must be so special reason behind this strange situation. Could it be that the Cha Mu Town area was short of funds?
But that didn’t seem right. Although the Cha Mu Town area might lack in industry, its various specialties could make it not much worse off than the Maomu City district.
"Eh? That’s quite lucky～"
As Feng Yuan was about to change the subject, his eyes drifted outside the store and lit up when he saw Huo Feng passing by. He rushed out in a hurry, and seeing Feng Yuan stop Huo Feng to ask sothing, Qi Chen said with so exasperation
"That guy really... just does things on a whim..."
"You’re asking about this? Well, it’s not sothing that needs to be a secret. Maomu City has decided to gradually open up Data City and integrate it into citizens’ daily lives. Correspondingly, the opening of Data City may impact tourism in areas like Cha Mu Town, hence the arrangent."
After hearing Feng Yuan’s inquiry, Huo Feng replied casually. This information wasn’t secret at all. After all, spreading such a big plan involving so many people, secrecy would be absurd.
The reason Feng Yuan and the others didn’t know was simply because they had been at school. These specialty towns and other plans were primarily to enhance the tourist appeal of Cha Mu Town and other areas.
Relying solely on the relatively sparse and scattered attractions would be quite affected by the impact from Data City, adversely impacting those villages relying on tourism.
This is also why Gaoshan Ridge was included. If that place were developed as a tourist area, regardless of how many tourists it might attract, the locals might not be interested in it,
But if it beca part of a coherent tourist route, the locals might consider it.
They themselves might not need the ager inco brought by tourism, but for other villages, it’s uncertain.
The resources brought by Yognot are unevenly distributed, and if so areas lost tourism, it would still have a significant impact on them.
"Hmm, restructuring tourism to boost appeal?"
Feng Yuan stroked his chin, understanding Huo Feng’s point. Huo Feng smiled and said
"That’s probably it. I don’t know the details; you’d probably have to ask a specialist if you really want to know."
"So, are there always special duty teams patrolling here? Isn’t this a bit of a manpower drain?"
Looking at Huo Feng, Feng Yuan joked with a smirk, while Huo Feng chuckled and said
"Of course not. We just need to co and check periodically to avoid any problems they can’t handle not being addressed promptly."
This was the reason he patrolled alone here. Hearing Huo Feng’s answer, Feng Yuan said
"Are you heading to find Liao Yu and the others later?"
"Probably, why?"
Looking at Feng Yuan puzzled, Huo Feng’s instincts told him that Feng Yuan might have so other ideas, grinning, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said
"Well, could you help take so red tea eggs to them later?"
"That’s not necessary. He already dragged Ye Hanlei here on the store’s opening day."
With a strange expression, Huo Feng said amusedly. The shop’s opening was a big event that Feng Yuan missed. But maybe not so surprising, as he wasn’t in Maomu City at the ti, and soon after his return, the Abnormal Space incident occurred. That he’s just now discovering this store isn’t odd.
"Is that so? Tsk! He didn’t even invite for a al here～"
"You guys... have t before?"
Detecting sothing in Feng Yuan’s tone, Huo Feng asked suspiciously, wondering if any unexpected events had occurred.
"Yeah, they brought Cast Cubes to find . Didn’t you know about this?"
Surprised, Feng Yuan noted that Huo Feng seed genuinely unaware.
"Cast Cubes? They... seem to have so need for your help. So what’s the situation now?"
"Oh, over by the square. It’d be better if you went to check it out yourself, as you guys might be responsible for it next."
Seeing Qi Chen waving over to him, Feng Yuan quickly said a few words and ran back into the shop. Huo Feng frowned slightly, a bit puzzled—did Cast Cubes do sothing?
