About Lotus Kete Taonga Kai

Ko Lotus he huinga oko pukepoti i whakaarohia mai i ngā oko puawai rengarenga o te umu Changsha. Ko te tauira rengarenga tuku iho kua whakarōpūtia hei āhua tapatoru ngāwari, ā, kua whakamahia ki ngā pereti o ngā teitei me ngā rahi rerekē. Ka whakapaetia ngā pereti kia rite ki te rahi, ka puta te tauira rengarenga, nō reira ka noho te huinga hei mea whakapaipai i te wā e rokiroki ana. Ka taea te wehewehe me te whakakotahi anō ngā wāhanga mō te whakarato kai i ngā wā e hiahiatia ana. Ko ngā tauira o ngā taonga waimarie o te Whare Ariki o Tang e tika ana mō ngā take rerekē. Kua whakakikoruatia te pukepoti ki te karaihe kākāriki selatono, ā, kua hangaia ā-ringa te āhua.
