Chapter 560: Searching for August Bomb
Gu Chang called Xiaoxi, who had just returned from Shangouzi Village.
Xiaoxi is very busy now, running back and forth between the express delivery center and Shangouzi Village every day!
The previous Wuling Rongguang can no longer meet the transportation needs, and now Xiaoxi drives a light truck and has to make several trips back and forth every day!
"Xiaoxi!"
Gu Chang saw Xiaoxi from a distance and waved at him excitedly.
"Brother Chang!" Xiaoxi ran over with big strides, smiling.
The experience of transporting goods during this period has made Xiaoxi grow a lot!
The once naive and shy child seemed to have grown up overnight!
His body became stronger, his muscles became more prominent, and he looked tougher.
"Not bad, Xiaoxi, you seem much more stable!" Gu Chang patted his shoulder and praised with satisfaction.
"Hehe!" Xiaoxi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"Brother Chang, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Xiaoxi looked at Gu Chang puzzledly, not knowing why he suddenly came to see her.
"I heard from my second aunt that there are a lot of August bombs in your house?" Gu Chang asked straight to the point.
"Yes! There are a lot of them on the mountains in our village! What's the matter, Brother Chang, do you like to eat this? I'll go home and get you some in the evening!" Xiaoxi replied enthusiastically.
"Hahaha, I want to develop this product. I'll go to your village with you to take a look." Gu Chang explained with a smile.
When Xiaoxi heard this, her eyes lit up immediately and she said excitedly, "This is good news. Come on, Brother Chang, I'll take you there now."
He couldn't help but think that his brother Chang always had a good eye. If it was true as Brother Chang said, then the value of this August bomb would be enormous.
Nowadays, everyone knows that anything that Boss Gu Chang sets his sights on will make money!
If this August bomb can be developed, there is no doubt that it will bring a lot of income to the people in the village!
So, the two of them quickly got in the car, and Xiaoxi drove away quickly towards their village.
After driving for about ten minutes, the car arrived at the foot of a mountain. There was no road ahead and the vehicle could not move forward.
Gu Chang and Xiaoxi had no choice but to get off the car and start walking towards the village.
Along the way, Xiaoxi kept introducing the situation of their village to Gu Chang.
Xiaoxi's village is called "Nishan Village". It is a village hidden deep in the mountains. There are not many people here, and there are only forty or fifty households.
Due to inconvenient transportation, the villagers here have been living a relatively closed life.
However, it is also because of this that the natural environment here is very good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters and fresh air.
While listening to Xiaoxi's introduction, Gu Chang admired the beautiful scenery around him and was full of curiosity about this small village.
These families are scattered in a flat area in a valley called "Mud Mountain", and their life is simple and peaceful.
Xiaoxi's house is even more remote, located at the easternmost end of the village, halfway up a mud mountain.
The two of them went up along the winding mountain road, and after climbing for more than twenty minutes, they finally arrived at Xiaoxi's house.
Konishi's home is located in a flat area on the mountainside, surrounded by lush trees and green mountains and waters.
There are two old low stone houses in the yard. Although they look a bit shabby, they reveal the traces of time. There are many chickens in the yard, and their chirping sounds echo in the mountains.
In addition, some small plots of land have been reclaimed and various seasonal vegetables, such as peppers, eggplants, etc. are planted, creating a vibrant scene.
Although this small courtyard is relatively simple, it is very tidy, and every stone slab has been wiped clean without a trace of dust. It is obvious that the owner is a hardworking and capable person who is full of love for life.
At this time, a farmer in his 40s was busy digging the soil in the vegetable field next to the yard with a hoe in his hand. He was big and had dark skin.
Needless to say, this person is Xiaoxi's father.
"father!"
Xiaoxi shouted.
When the middle-aged farmer heard the sound, he stopped what he was doing, looked up, saw Gu Chang and Xiaoxi, immediately put down his farm tools, walked over quickly, and a simple smile appeared on his face.
He greeted warmly: "Son, you're back? Who is this?"
Xiaoxi quickly replied: "Dad, this is Brother Chang!" As he spoke, he introduced Gu Chang to his father.
"Ah? You are Gu Chang? So young?" Xiao Xi's father widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
"Uncle." Gu Chang greeted him warmly with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I don't deserve it. Mr. Gu, please come in and have a seat..." The simple farm man seemed a little uneasy and hurriedly invited Gu Chang to come in.
Gu Chang walked into the house with a smile, reached out to take the small stool handed to him by Xiaoxi, and sat down steadily.
"Uh... Boss Gu, our family's conditions aren't very good, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Xiaoxi's father said nervously.
"Uncle, don't be so polite, just call me Xiao Gu." Gu Chang responded with a smile on his face.
"Is Xiaoxi capable enough for you? Has she caused you any trouble?" Xiaoxi's father rubbed his hands nervously and asked with concern.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxi works very hard and has grown very fast recently. I will definitely give him more important tasks in the future!" Gu Chang patted Xiaoxi's shoulder gently and smiled encouragingly.
Hearing Gu Chang's affirmative words, Xiao Xi's father finally breathed a sigh of relief. The stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. He thought his son had caused some trouble outside, which made Gu Chang come to his house!
"Dad, Brother Chang came here this time for the yellow dog kidney." Xiaoxi explained with a smile.
Xiaoxi's father suddenly realized what was going on, and then he scolded him, "Oh my, kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? We have plenty of yellow dog kidneys here. When you come back, just bring some to Boss Gu. Why would he have to make this trip in person?"
Gu Chang smiled after hearing this, thinking that Xiao Xidie was a very honest man. In fact, he knew that the yellow dog kidney mentioned by Xiao Xidie was a local dialect, and actually referred to the wild fruit August Fried.
"Dad Xiaoxi, I just had the sudden idea to come and take a look. By the way, are the August fried dumplings ripe now?" Gu Chang asked with an expectant look on his face.
Xiao Xi's father thought for a moment and replied, "Well... there should be some early-ripening ones at this time of year, but there may not be too many. However, I can help you look for them. If you are lucky, you may be able to find some ripe ones."
"I remember that the yellow dog kidneys at the foot of the mountain south of the village ripen earlier." Xiao Xi's father said as he recalled.
"Really? Then take us to see it?" Gu Chang asked with a smile, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Of course, let's go." Xiaoxi's father was also very straightforward. He went to find a basket and immediately took Gu Chang and Xiaoxi to the foot of the mountain south of the village.
The mountain road was a bit rugged along the way, but fortunately it was not far. Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw patches of August bombs at a glance.
The August melon tree looks like both a tree and a vine, which is very unique. On the slender vine, between the green branches and leaves, there are strings of two or three-inch long August melons hanging, some are red, some are yellow, some are gray, and some are purple. The colors are different. But most of them still look green. From a distance, these August melons are very eye-catching and beautiful.
"These August explosions look pretty good when put together in pieces," Gu Chang said with emotion.
"Come on, Boss Gu, let's go and try it."
