Returning to my hometown to inherit three mountains: Don't stop me from raising pigs

Chapter 559 Dragon Body Phoenix Tail Shrimp

Gu Chang walked through the crowd and headed straight for the restaurant kitchen. As he walked, he muttered to himself, "I'm hungry now, let's go to Second Aunt's place for a meal!"

Walking into the kitchen, Gu Chang found that it was not yet the peak dining time and the kitchen was not busy. He saw that his second aunt was concentrating on studying a new dish.

"Second Aunt, are you busy?" Gu Chang greeted her with a smile.

Second Aunt raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she responded with a smile: "Xiao Chang, you're here! Just in time, come and try the new dish I just developed!"

"Oh? What delicious food is it?" Gu Chang's eyes immediately lit up and he walked towards his second aunt with anticipation.

"This dish is called 'Dragon Body and Phoenix Tail Shrimp'!" Second Aunt introduced proudly.

"Wow! What a domineering name! It sounds like a delicious dish!" Gu Chang exclaimed and quickened his pace to the table.

When he got closer, his eyes lit up. On the plate was an extremely exquisite delicacy with fresh shrimp as the main ingredient.

Each shrimp is skillfully processed into a unique shape, with crystal clear shrimp meat, like a dragon's body and a phoenix's tail, and paired with seasonal vegetables and special sauces, the colors are bright and eye-catching. White, red, green and brown complement each other, which is pleasing to the eye.

The whole dish looks like a lifelike dragon, and its tail is as beautiful as a phoenix. It is simply a work of art.

"This dish is a famous Fujian dish. It has the effects of nourishing the body, strengthening the waist and strengthening the kidneys." Second Aunt explained with a smile.

"Then I have to try it!" Gu Chang smiled, his eyes revealing anticipation. He picked up the chopsticks and reached for the food on the plate impatiently.

Gu Chang picked up a piece of shrimp with chopsticks and gently put it into his mouth. The shrimp was tender and juicy, with a smooth taste, as if it was jumping on the tip of his tongue. Every bite brought a full taste of freshness and sweetness, making people intoxicated.

"Wow! This dish is so delicious! Not only does it look good, it tastes amazing too!" Gu Chang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration and gave a thumbs up to express his appreciation.

"It's delicious! Someone commented that this dish is 'so beautiful that it makes your eyes shine, and tastes better than fish and mutton!'"

Second Aunt explained with a smile. She watched Gu Chang eat with gusto, and her heart was filled with satisfaction.

"Well-deserved!"

Gu Chang continued to enjoy the food while speaking. He kept picking up the shrimp meat, chewing it with big mouthfuls, savoring the delicious food.

Soon, the whole plate of prawns was eaten up by Gu Chang. He burped with satisfaction, stroking his stomach, feeling the satisfaction brought by the delicious food.

At this moment, Gu Chang suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip.

He sat up straight, looked at Second Aunt seriously, and asked, "By the way, Second Aunt, I heard from Second Uncle, do you know where there are more August bombs?"

"August fried food? What's wrong? Do you want to eat this?" Second Aunt asked with some confusion.

"No, I want to develop it into a commodity and sell it!" Gu Chang explained.

"Develop it into a product? This thing is not easy to transport. The ripening period is so short. It doesn't taste good if it's overripe or underripe. It's also not easy to store!"

Second Aunt frowned and said thoughtfully. She knew in her heart that although this fruit was delicious, it was difficult to promote and sell on a large scale due to its special growth habits and limited shelf life.

To be honest, one of the main reasons why this thing has not received as much attention and love as other fruits is that its best eating period is too short!

Only when it is picked and tasted immediately after maturity can you truly appreciate its unique sweet taste. Once this period is missed, whether it is too early or too late, its flavor and quality will be affected.

"I think so too!"

Gu Chang nodded, indicating that he agreed with his second aunt's point of view. He knew the characteristics of this fruit and knew that it would not be easy to successfully market it.

However, he did not give up his plan, but became more determined to give it a try.

"So you're still developing?"

Second Aunt looked at Gu Chang in confusion and asked. She really couldn't understand why he insisted on developing the product since he had already recognized these problems. Was there any special method or strategy?

Facing the second aunt's question, Gu Chang showed a confident smile: "So, I plan to sell it in the Zhumao Village tourist area. I will set up a stall and mainly sell this August fried food. I will pick it and sell it every day to ensure its freshness."

"In this way, tourists can experience the charm of this fruit in person, while also solving the problem of transportation and storage."

After hearing this, Second Aunt suddenly understood, and a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes: "I see, you are really smart! Bringing business to your doorstep will not only allow more people to taste the deliciousness of this fruit, but also boost the local economic development. However, you have to do a good job of publicity to let everyone know that there is such a good thing here."

"Don't worry, Second Aunt, I will plan it well. If it becomes popular in the future, selling these August bombs can provide a few new jobs and add new features to the scenic spot."

Gu Chang replied with a smile. He knew that in order to successfully promote this fruit, it would require all-round efforts and innovative thinking.

Second Aunt nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You have so many ideas, kid! I hope you can succeed this time and let our Qinling specialty go out of the mountains and be welcomed by tourists."

"There are indeed a lot of these things in my mother's hometown. Let Xiaoxi take you there. His father often picks these things to eat, so he knows where the best ones are. Now is the perfect time too, as the August fried fruits are almost ripe." Second Aunt said.

"That's great. Xiaoxi and I will go there now!" Gu Chang said excitedly.
