Nyumba ya Rhug Manor ku North Wales yakhala ya banja la Lord Newborough kuyambira m'zaka za m'ma 800, koma iye anali wofunitsitsa kuchita zinthu mosiyana.
M'mawa wina wa dzuwa ku Corvin, North Wales, motsogozedwa ndi ma truffle ake a chokoleti a Labrador, atadutsa gorse ndi bracken pamwamba pa phiri, Lord Newborough akufotokoza za mawonekedwe olimba omwe ali patsogolo pathu. 'Iyi ndi Di Gu. Pamaso pa shopu ya pafamu, pali Mapiri a Berwyn. Malowa adagwirizanitsidwa kale ndi malo omwe ali m'mphepete mwa nyanja, okhala ndi maekala 86,000, koma ntchito za vinyo, akazi, ndi akufa zimapangitsa kuti zikhale zogawanika.
Lord Newborough ndi banja lake ali ndi zaka 71. Ndi nsomba yopyapyala. Amavala zovala wamba, malaya opindika komanso ubweya. Amavala zovala wamba. Amakhala ku Rhug (yotchedwa Reeg) Manor. Koma chimodzi mwa zinthu zosinthika kwambiri chinachitika mu 1998, pamene Lord Newborough (Lord Newborough) anayamba kusintha cholowa chake kukhala cholowa chachilengedwe pamene adalandira udindowu bambo ake atamwalira, zomwe zinali zachilendo kwambiri panthawiyo.
Masiku ano, nyama za Rhug zomwe zapambana mphoto ("Michelin amazidziwa bwino kwambiri") zikuphatikizapo ng'ombe, nkhosa, nyama ya venison ndi njati, ndipo zimakondedwa ndi ophika kuphatikizapo Raymond Blanc ndi Marcus Wareing. Kuyambira River Coffee Kuyambira ku holo mpaka ku Clarence, pali matebulo odyera okongola kulikonse. Komabe, njati ndi Sika (mtundu wa nswala 70 zokongola zaku Japan) ndizo zomwe zingamuthandize kukula: "Njati ndi njati ndi nyama yamtsogolo - nyama yofiira "yathanzi" yomwe ndi yopyapyala kuposa nsomba kapena nkhuku, Ali ndi mchere wofunikira wambiri komanso mafuta ochepa. Ndi zakudya zabwino kwambiri komanso lingaliro labwino kwambiri."
Ngati abambo ake akanatha kuiona tsopano, sakanaizindikira. "Mwachidule, iyi ndi ng'ombe ndi nkhosa. Ndi ulimi wamba womwe ulibe ndalama zambiri, koma amakonda kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala ambiri. Ndikamuuza kuti ndikufuna zamoyo, angandilande. Cholowa."
Lord Newborough nthawi zonse wakhala akukonza zinthu, koma ulendo wake waposachedwa unamudabwitsa. Ali pafupi kulowa mumsika wa kukongola. M'zaka ziwiri zapitazi, ndapaka mafuta ambiri pankhope panga kuposa m'moyo wanga.
Wild Beauty ndi mankhwala apamwamba kwambiri osamalira khungu komanso thupi. Pali zinthu 13, kuphatikizapo maluwa a tonic ndi stevia, komanso bergamot ndi nettle shower gel - 50% ya zosakaniza zomwe zili mu mndandandawu ndi zochokera ku estate.
Iye anati: “Zinachokera ku malo okongola kuno, komanso kuganizira zomwe tingachite ndi nyumba yaikuluyi.” “Ndimayenda kwambiri ndipo ndikukumana ndi maganizo osalipira msonkho akuti, “Nkhani ili kuti pano? Kodi magwero a zinthuzi ndi ati? “Awa ndi maganizo athu pa kugwiritsa ntchito nyama. Ndikuganiza kuti izi ndizofunikira kwambiri ndipo mfundo zomwezi zigwiranso ntchito pa chisamaliro cha khungu.”
Mitundu iyi ndi ya vegan, halal komanso yopanda gluten. Anati, Ndikufuna kunena zoona, chifukwa ndikuganiza kuti pali kusakhulupirika kwakukulu pamenepo. M'zaka zingapo zapitazi, ndafufuza zinthu zambiri, koma sindinapeze chinthu chokhala ndi ziphaso zomwe tapeza.
Iain Russell, manejala wa Rogge, anandiuza kuti ndi wamphamvu, wamphamvu, komanso waluso, ndipo amaoneka wosatopa. Tsiku lililonse amadzuka nthawi ya 5.45 m'mawa ("Ndimayankha munthu wina nthawi ya 6 koloko m'mawa, ndikufunsa ngati angagule zinthu zathu ku London"), kenako amayendetsa makina ake opumira. Chogulitsa chake chaposachedwa ndi jenereta ya okosijeni yamtengo wapatali £4,000, yomwe amagwiritsa ntchito kawiri patsiku. Anati: "Ndikulumbira: zonsezi ndi gawo lofunafuna unyamata wosatha."
Pamene adatenga malowa, anali ndi antchito 9 okha, okhala ndi maekala 2500, ndipo tsopano ali ndi maekala 12,500 (kuphatikizapo shopu, cafe, takeaway ndi sitima - iyi ndi famu yoyamba yaku Britain), ali ndi antchito 100. Anati m'zaka 12 zapitazi, ndalama zathu zawonjezeka kuchoka pa mapaundi 1.5 miliyoni kufika pa mapaundi 10 miliyoni. 'Iyi ndi bizinesi yomwe ikukula, komanso bizinesi yosiyana kwambiri. Ulimi supanga ndalama, kotero kuwonjezera phindu ndikugwiritsa ntchito chuma kulikonse komwe kungatheke ndi njira yotsimikizira chitetezo cha chuma chamtsogolo.
Kwa Richard Prideaux, yemwe anali mkulu wa osaka nyama, izi zinachokera ku bizinesi ya zakudya zakuthengo yomwe ankayendetsa kuchokera ku nyumba yayikulu kale, yomwe idayamba chifukwa cha kugula zinthu zosakaniza ndi malo odyera apamwamba ku London mpaka Wild Beauty. "Choyamba chomwe tiyenera kuchita ndikuwerenga mosamala zolemba za kafukufukuyu ndikunena kuti uku ndi kukula kwa malo monga momwe tikudziwira, kenako nkuyang'ana m'mbuyo kuti tiwone ngati akadalipo, ndi chiyani tsopano ndi china?"
Kawirikawiri, nthawi yoyambira kugula zinthu ndi miyezi isanu ndi itatu, ndipo poganizira nyengo yokolola, kukonzekera pasadakhale ndiye chinthu chofunikira kwambiri. Lord Newborough anafotokoza kuti: “Poyamba, wopanga zinthu ankavutika kukhala ndi maganizo abwino nthawi zonse.” Iye anafunsa kuti, “Nditha kuvala gorse, kodi nditha kuvala heather?” Richard anati, “Ayi, simungakhalepo nthawi zonse.”
"Tsopano ndikukonzekera kalendala yoyambira mwezi wa February kuti nditsimikizire kuti tili ndi nthawi yokwanira yosonkhanitsira zosakaniza izi," adatero Prideaux. Tili ndi dayalo yowerengera nyengo; tikufuna kudziwa momwe ikufananira ndi chaka chatha."
Kuchepa kwa ntchitoyi kumatanthauza kuti Prideaux nthawi zambiri amakhala maola 8 mu nyengo yonse, akutola chilichonse kuyambira gorse mpaka nettle.
Prideaux ali ndi gawo lalikulu kuposa moyo, chaka chino "Ndine wotchuka ... ndiloleni ndichoke pano!" "Chitsogozo ndi upangiri wopulumuka, chifukwa cha Covid (Covid), kampaniyo idalowa m'malo mwa Australia ndi Abgeele Castle (Abgeele). Wakhala akusaka chakudya pafupifupi kuyambira kubadwa.
"Makolo anga ndi alimi omwe amagwira ntchito pamalo awa. Samvetsa chomera chilichonse chomwe chili m'munda, komanso sadziwa momwe chimagwiritsidwira ntchito komanso kukoma kwake. Izi sizichitika kawirikawiri. Sindinazindikire zimenezo mwina mpaka nditapita kusukulu. Si aliyense amene amalandira maphunziro ofanana."
Mmawa uno, adapita kukasambira ndi mawondo ake akuya mumtsinje, akutola beets kuchokera ku udzu, womwe ndi mtundu wa chomera chomwe chimakula bwino m'mphepete mwa udzu wakale wa m'madzi. "Cholinga chathu ndikusonkhanitsa kilogalamu imodzi kapena ziwiri za zinthu zouma - [izi] zomera zikuwoneka kuti zili ndi madzi 85% mpaka 98%. Njira yanga yopezera chakudya ndikukhala tsiku limodzi ndikuyenda m'mphepete mwa mtsinje, koma tawonanso kusamalira zomera. Njira zomwe zingatengedwe nthawi imodzi ndi anthu. Pali malamulo ndi njira zokhwima zosonkhanitsira: chilichonse chiyenera kuperekedwa ku bungwe la nthaka.
Meadowsweet ndiye gwero lalikulu la salicylic acid (chogwiritsidwa ntchito mu aspirin) komanso mankhwala oletsa kutsekeka kwa khungu, omwe amapezeka mu zotsukira tsitsi za Wild Beauty, seramu ndi mafuta odzola m'maso. "Ndikudziwa kuti ndi mankhwala komanso ochepetsa ululu, koma kugwiritsa ntchito kwake posamalira khungu ndi chizindikiro kwa ine." Prideaux anatero, akundipatsa tsamba kuti ndiliphwanye. Limakhala ndi kukoma kokoma kwa marshmallow/nkhaka. Anati: "Chinyontho ichi chikachepa m'ofesi mwathu, chimakhala chimodzi mwa fungo labwino kwambiri." "Tiyenera kuchita upainiya kwambiri. N'zosavuta kunena kuti "Pita ukatenge nettle", koma ndikudziwa momwe ungasungire komanso kuchuluka kwa zomwe umafunikira. Anakumana ndi nthawi zovuta panjira.
Tsitsi lililonse pansi pa tsamba la nettle lili ngati jakisoni wa hypodermic wodzazidwa kale ndi formic acid, yomwe ndi yopweteka kwambiri. Litauma, silinali lokwanira kufota tsitsilo, kotero titayesa koyamba, ndinatsegula chitseko cha dehydrator ndikupuma mtambo wa tsitsili. Ndinabayidwa ndi trachea ndi mapapo. Nthawi ina ndikavala chigoba, magolovesi ndi magalasi. Lord Newborough anabadwira ku nyumba yaikulu. Ubwana wake unali kusodza m'mitsinje iyi ndikukwera mahatchi ndi alongo ake awiri. Zikumveka ngati zosangalatsa, koma wakhala akutsimikizira kuyambira ali mwana.
“Abambo anga ndi okhwima kwambiri kwa ife. Zomwe ndimayembekezera kwa iwo sizinali zokwanira,” anandiuza. “Ndili ndi zaka zitatu, ndinakwera bwato pakati pa Menai Strait popanda kupalasa bwato, ndipo ndinauzidwa kuti ndibwerere ndi cholinga changa—chomwe chinali kutsegula pansi pa bwato. Pansi pake pamagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati chopalasa.”
Iye ankaonedwa kuti ndi mlimi kuyambira ali wamng'ono monga bambo ake. “Tonsefe tiyenera kugwira ntchito pafamu. Ndinayendetsa thirakitala ndili ndi zaka khumi.” Koma, monga momwe adavomerezera, maphunziro ake “sanali abwino kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi.” Atachotsedwa kusukulu yokonzekera kumenyana, kukwapulidwa pafupipafupi ndi kuthawa, anaphunzira ku Agricultural College ndipo anatumizidwa ku Australia.
Bambo anga anandipatsa tikiti yobwerera kamodzi, anandiuza kuti ndisabwerenso kwa miyezi 12 ina, kenako anapita kukagula tikiti yanga. Atabwerera kunyumba, anayang'anira kampani yobwereketsa ndege komanso bungwe lopanga zinthu zamagetsi, kenako anayang'anira dongosolo loteteza usodzi ku Sierra Leone, komwe anapulumuka zipolowe zitatu. "Ndinatuluka pamene mfuti inali kuyaka, sinali malo abwino. Panthawiyo, abambo anga anali okalamba ndipo ndinaganiza kuti ndiyenera kupita kunyumba ndikathandize."
Ngakhale kuti wakhala akudya chakudya chachilengedwe kwa zaka zambiri, Lord Newborough sanaganize zochimanganso mpaka atalandira chumacho. "Takhala tikuphatikizana mwachilengedwe kwa nthawi yoyamba. Mkazi wanga Su (akhala m'banja kwa zaka 32, ndipo aliyense ali ndi mwana wamkazi kuchokera muukwati wakale) wakhala akundilimbikitsa nthawi zonse kuti ndichite izi, ndipo kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, ulimi wakhala wosangalatsa."
Koma poyamba, zinali zovuta kwambiri. Magulu ambiri a pafamu (kuphatikizapo shepherd ndi mkulu wa oyang'anira nyama) akhala akugwira ntchito kwa abambo ake kwa zaka zoposa 30 ndipo akhazikitsa malingaliro ozama. Lord Newborough anati: “Iwo ankaganiza kuti ndapenga kwambiri, koma tinawatengera ku Highgrove, komwe kuli woyang'anira famu wolimbikitsa. Tikangoona kuti ikugwira ntchito kumeneko, zimakhala zomveka. Sitidzayang'ananso m'mbuyo.”
Kalonga wa Wales nthawi zonse wakhala munthu wofunika kwambiri paulendo wa Rhug wolima zachilengedwe. "Anabwera kuno kudzaona famuyi. Chidziwitso chake cha ulimi wachilengedwe, kusamala zachilengedwe, mbiri yokhazikika komanso kuwona mtima kwathunthu ndi gawo la zomwe zimatilimbikitsa. Adzamvetsa. Monga mpanda womwe ali waluso kwambiri, kalonga amatha kufalitsa chidziwitso chodziwikiratu. Malo obiriwira a Rogge a hazel, ash, oak ndi blackthorn adasintha zomera zakuthengo ndi zinyama za m'nyumbayi ndipo adawona kubwerera kwa akalulu, nkhwangwa, thrush ndi udzu. Lord Newborough adati: "Abambo anga amakonda kukoka mpanda ndikuuyika pansi - kwenikweni tidachita zosiyana."
Mlangizi wina komanso bwenzi lake ndi Carole Bamford, yemwe adayambitsa sitolo ya organic farm brand Daylesford, ndipo adayambitsa Bamford, yomwe ndi kampani yogulitsa zovala ndi zinthu zokongoletsera. Lord Newborough adati: "Ponena za ulimi wa organic, kukula kwathu ndi kwakukulu kuposa Carole, koma nthawi zonse ndimayamikira chilichonse chomwe amachita. Ndimayamikira malingaliro ake opaka paketi komanso mbiri yake yokhazikika. Ndipo ndikulemba ntchito munthu amene amagwira ntchito yosamalira khungu ku Bamford ngati mlangizi wanga."
Poyamba Covid idachedwetsa kutulutsidwa kwa Wild Beauty kuyambira masika. Mliriwu wakhudza kwambiri malo ogulitsa, ndipo mabizinesi ogulitsa ndi omwe akhudzidwa kwambiri. Mwachisoni adati: "Nthawi zambiri Isitala ndi nthawi yathu yotanganidwa kwambiri. Timayima pakhomo ndikudikirira kuti galimoto idutse." Anati popeza chiyembekezo cha Brexit chili pafupi, tidzafunika njira iliyonse yotsatsira malonda kuti tithe kuvutika. Tionane nthawi ino. "Koma sitidalira Europe (20% ya nyama imatumizidwa kunja - Hong Kong, Singapore ndi Macau, Dubai, Abu Dhabi ndi Qatar), kotero iyi ndi njira yotetezera. Ndikuganiza kuti chitetezo chotumizira kunja kumisika yolemera iyi Ndikofunikira mtsogolo."
Ponena za Covid, iye alibe nkhawa ndi thanzi lake: “Ndimadzuka m’mawa uliwonse kuti ndichite masewera olimbitsa thupi, ndipo ndikafa, ndimafa.” Chomwe amada nkhawa kwambiri ndi ziweto za pafamu. “Ziweto ziyenera kudyetsedwa, ndipo tikuda nkhawa ndi momwe matenda a Covid amakhudzira ogwira ntchito pafamu.” Mwamwayi, ichi si chinthu chomwe ayenera kuthana nacho.
Sakukhutira ndi kuyimirira. Khama lake logwira ntchito mwakhama (cholowa cha ubwana wake wovuta) limatanthauza kuti amadzuka tsiku lililonse n’kuganizira zomwe angachite kenako? Ndiye cholowacho chikupita kuti? “Ndikofunikira kwambiri kupitiriza kupanga mtundu wa zinthu za Wild Beauty—tikuphunzira za shampoo, conditioner, mafuta oteteza ku dzuwa—koma ndikufunanso kupanga mtundu wapadziko lonse, ndipo tikulankhulana ndi ogulitsa ku Japan, Far East ndi Middle East.” Ngati bambo akanadziwa kuti Mukupanga zinthu zosamalira khungu zachilengedwe, mukuganiza bwanji? Anamwetulira mosakhulupirira. “Akhoza kutembenuka m’manda… Ayi, ndikuganiza kuti adzanyada. Ndikuganiza kuti tsopano akufuna kuona ming’oma yomuzungulira.”
Kuphatikiza apo, akukonzekera kumanganso gulu lake lokondedwa la njati. Pambuyo pa imfa ya chimfine choopsa cha catarrhal, chiwerengero cha njati chinatsika kuchoka pa 70 kufika pa 20. "N'zomvetsa chisoni kuona ndikudziwa kuti simungathe kuchita chilichonse kuti muletse izi." Komabe, popeza Lord Newborough wakhala akugwira ntchito ndi University of Liverpool kuti apange katemera yemwe adzayesedwe pa njati ya Rhug, chiyembekezo chilipobe.
Ndipo wakhala akuda nkhawa ndi momwe nyengo imakhudzira famu. 'Tawona kusintha kwakukulu. Ndili mwana, nyanjayi nthawi zonse inali yozizira kwambiri. Sikudzakhalanso yozizira kwambiri m'nyengo yozizira.' "Akuyembekeza kupeza chilimbikitso m'nyengo yotentha, ndipo akuyembekeza kubzala mbewu zambiri za ku Mediterranean, monga lavenda ndi mipesa ya mphesa."
"Ngati sitinawone malo oyenera obzala mipesa, sindikanadabwa patatha zaka 20. Tsopano pali mipesa imodzi kapena ziwiri ku Wales. Tiyenera kusintha kuti tigwirizane ndi kusintha."
Iye watsimikiza mtima kuchoka pafamuyo ali bwino kwambiri. "Ndikufuna kuti Rugg azolowere chitukuko chamtsogolo ndikulola kuti chikhale ndi moyo wosatha. Ndikufuna kugwiritsa ntchito zinthu zomwe Mulungu watipatsa. Ndikuganiza kuti tili ndi udindo wosiya chinthu chabwino kuposa chomwe tinalandira." Ndikuganiza mwanjira ina Abambo ake angavomereze kwambiri.
Tikukulimbikitsani kuti muzimitse choletsa malonda pa webusaiti ya The Telegraph kuti mupitirize kupeza zinthu zathu zapamwamba mtsogolomu.
