Opening a coffee shop sounds romantic. The Kinmen County Children and Youth Welfare Service Center holds a "special flower camp" in the hope that young people will not only have a variety of leisure options during the summer vacation, but also understand that all jobs are not easy and require time and effort.

The "Special pull Flower Camp" is sponsored by the Kinmen County Government and hosted by the Kinmen Young Center. Nearly 20 national high school students participated, under the technical guidance of the local well-known "Lin+ Coffee." with the assistance of the shop owner Hu Lingxiong and the assistant Dong Jiaqi, the students tried to make coffee flowers and handmade cakes, and they all felt very fresh.

Today's lesson is to make honey toast. Students work together to stack biscuits, egg rolls and fruits, spread cream and chocolate sauce, and soon the finished products that make people's index fingers move are right in front of them, and everyone scrambles for food.

Xu Yanru, who is about to be promoted to the first year of Kinmen Agricultural and Industrial High School, and her classmates Huang Yirou and Cheng Yuting made an appointment to participate in the flower camp. Xu Yanru said that when she first experienced pulling flowers and making muffins by hand, she realized that they were changeable and interesting. Yesterday was Father's Day, and her father, who worked in Liyu, made a special trip to the store to taste her love muffins and coffee, which made her very happy.

Huang Yi said with a soft smile, "it's better than what's cooked outside." Two senior high school graduates surnamed Cai and Lu also completed their first experience of flower drawing with the help of a teaching assistant. They thought it was very interesting, but they had to practice more when they got home.

Chen Shihao, director of social workers at the Kinmen Young Center, said that on the one hand, the flower camp provides a positive leisure activity for children and teenagers during the summer vacation, so that students do not always stay at home to slide their mobile phones or play video games; at the same time, it is also a workplace experience activity.

Chen Shihao says that many young people will choose to run a coffee shop when they start a business. however, although a coffee shop looks romantic and gives people a lot of hope, it actually takes a lot of effort to run a coffee shop. What looks like a simple cup of coffee or honey toast actually has years of research technology in it.

Chen Shihao says that if you want to start a business or engage in all kinds of jobs, you need to constantly improve and mature your technology through further studies and challenges, but most of the young can only know these stores through images or pictures, and only see the bright appearance. But I don't know the joys and sorrows. He hopes that this kind of workplace experience will make children understand that all kinds of industries are not easy and require time and effort. He hopes that Lahua Camp will allow participants to explore themselves and understand the direction of the future.

The special flower camp will also teach students to prepare drinks, which is scheduled to close on the 11th. The Children and Youth Center hopes that after learning these skills, students will be able to apply what they have learned, try it at home, enjoy the fruits of their study, and let their families taste their own skills.
