Chapter 60: Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder

By noon, Zhou Yu arrived in the courtyard. He checked the Immortal Flavor Fruits and found they were all dried. He could not wait any longer. He gathered all the fruits and went back inside.

He opened the grinder and put in some of the fruits. Then he turned on the machine. In less than a minute, the fruits were turned into a yellow powder.

After lifting the grinder lid, a fresh and pleasant aroma immediately wafted out. Zhou Yu took a deep, delighted breath. Then he pinched some of the powder and rubbed it between his fingers. Sure enough, the ground powder was very fine. This would make it much easier to mix into food.

Zhou Yu put all the fruits from one Immortal Flavor Fruit Tree into the grinder. After grinding everything into powder, he took out a seasoning jar. He opened the lid and carefully poured the powder inside.

After emptying all the powder from that one tree’s fruits, he saw that, just as he had estimated, one Immortal Flavor Fruit Tree produced about one jar of seasoning powder, weighing around fifty grams.

Looking at it this way, ten Immortal Flavor Fruit Trees would only produce about five hundred grams, just one jin. He shook his head and smiled lightly. No wonder the Divine Chef Villa needed to grow Immortal Flavor Fruit in other places. The yield per tree was really too low.

Also, the seeds of the Immortal Flavor Fruit were probably not easy to catalyze. Otherwise, they would not have given only ten seeds to Song Qingxiu.

He just did not know when the Immortal Flavor Fruit Trees would bear fruit again after harvesting. If it was only a day or two, then there was nothing to worry about.

Zhou Yu ground all the harvested fruits into powder. He successfully obtained ten jars of Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder. He gently tapped the seasoning jars, a thoughtful expression on his face. If it was just him alone, there was no way he could use up all this seasoning quickly. After all, he would only use a little for frying one dish. He could not dump a whole jar in. That would not be eating the dish; that would be eating the seasoning.

Selling it was something to consider. But he needed to find out when the Immortal Flavor Fruit Trees would fruit next before he could think about selling.

Otherwise, if these Immortal Flavor Fruit Trees were only one-time things, producing fruit just once, then it would all be over.

Today was the first day of the Divine Dog Surfing project. The contract Zhou Yu signed with Village Chief Yao only stated that Huzi would perform surfing for one hour each day. It did not specify the exact performance time. However, he discussed it with Village Chief Yao and decided to set it between five and six in the afternoon.

At that time, the sunlight was much weaker. Many people would be playing on the beach. After watching the surfing, it would be just time for dinner. More importantly, he could not let Huzi perform surfing under the strong sun.

Around three or four in the afternoon, Gouwa Wang Fugui called to urge him. He said he was bored out of his mind, had already surfed for an hour on the beach, and really wanted to bring Huzi along. He also said many people were waiting on the beach, ready to watch the show.

Zhou Yu shook his head. This Gouwa probably just wanted to show off with Huzi. He firmly said he would bring Huzi to the beach at five o’clock.

When it was past four o’clock, he checked the time and patted Huzi’s head. “Let’s go, Huzi. It’s time for your performance.”

Hearing this, Huzi barked excitedly twice and ran to the door at high speed. Zhou Yu smiled, patted Dabao and Xiaobao’s heads, and told them to watch the house properly. Then he walked towards the door.

As he passed by the Main Spirit Gathering Array, he glanced at the Immortal Flavor Fruit Trees. His face lit up with surprise. On the spots where the fruits had been picked, he now saw little sprouts growing.

Based on his observations of the Immortal Flavor Fruit Trees these past few days, the next batch of Immortal Flavor Fruit would probably ripen tomorrow or the day after.

Zhou Yu’s heart was filled with excitement. This meant the ten Immortal Flavor Fruit Trees could provide him with a continuous supply of Immortal Flavor Fruit. Although each harvest would only give about five hundred grams of powder, the wait was only a day or two.

When leaving home, he purposely took one jar of Immortal Flavor Powder with him, just in case. With the Immortal Flavor Powder, he no longer had to worry about meal times.

After locking the door, Zhou Yu rode his electric bike with Huzi to the Guomin Food Stall. He saw Wang Fugui waiting there anxiously, shirtless and wearing large shorts.

“Brother Universe, my bro, you finally came. The whole beach is waiting for you,” Wang Fugui said extremely excitedly when he saw Zhou Yu, then pointed towards the beach.

Zhou Yu looked at the beach. Wow, there were nearly twice as many people as yesterday on the beach. They had probably all heard the news and were waiting to see Huzi surf.

“Gouwa, you take Huzi over. Put its life jacket on and use the longboard for it, since it has better balance.” Zhou Yu did not waste any more time. He patted Huzi’s head and spoke to Wang Fugui.

Wang Fugui laughed excitedly. “Alright, Brother Universe! Just wait and watch the surfing battle between me and Huzi. Huzi, let’s go!”

Then, Wang Fugui, carrying two surfboards, took Huzi to the beach. When the crowd on the beach saw Huzi beside him, they immediately burst into cheers.

These people had all seen the videos online. Then they heard the Divine Dog Surfing project officially started today, and it was free to watch. Unable to contain their curiosity, they came to Taoyuan Village. After waiting so long, they finally got to see the Divine Dog from the videos.

Wang Fugui walked ahead carrying the surfboard. Huzi followed behind. Wherever they went, the crowd automatically made way for them and cheered. This made Wang Fugui feel incredibly good, as if the cheers were for him personally.

When they reached the seaside, he put a small life jacket on Huzi. Then he placed Huzi on the surfboard and pushed it into the sea. Huzi lay on the board and paddled with its two front paws, causing cheers to erupt again on the beach. Many, many people were filming with their mobile phones.

Wang Fugui also got into the water with his surfboard. He lay on it, occasionally pushing Huzi’s surfboard as they headed towards the surfing spot.

The staff responsible for keeping order on the beach sighed with relief when they finally saw Huzi arrive. They had been worried that if Huzi didn’t show up, the people on the beach might riot.

Zhou Yu sat outside the food stall, watching Wang Fugui’s proud and swaggering manner. He couldn’t help but find it funny. This guy really was like the fox who borrows the tiger’s fierceness.

Judging by the crowd’s cheers, Huzi really had become a famous dog. Being able to contribute a little to the village’s development was his original intention.

“Haha, Little Yu, I really have to thank you and Huzi. My business this afternoon is a bit better than usual. I guess after Huzi finishes performing, another big wave of people will come to eat.” At this moment, Li Guomin laughed heartily beside him.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile. “Uncle, Huzi deserves most of the credit for that.”

“When Huzi comes back, I’ll grill a few fish for it to say a proper thank you.” Li Guomin looked at the beach and said with a smile.

“So, only Huzi gets some, not me,” Zhou Yu said, pretending to look disappointed.

Li Guomin patted Zhou Yu’s shoulder firmly. “Not for you? I’m joking! You could eat all the fish in your uncle’s stall, no problem. Alright, I need to get busy.”

Watching Li Guomin’s retreating figure, Zhou Yu mysteriously felt the seasoning jar in his pocket. He planned to use it later when they ate.
