"Wuhan Duck Neck That Travels Through Time"

Chapter 11: Development with Both Achievements and Challenges

Rapid Development and Expansion of the Restaurant Business: Over time, Cuihua's restaurant business grew rapidly, attracting a constant stream of customers. To meet the increasing demand, Cuihua decided to expand the restaurant and introduce more innovative dishes.

"What is this? A new stone?" Cuihua picked up a shiny stone and asked curiously.

"Sister Cuihua, this is our latest time-travel stone! Through this stone, we can travel through time and space to explore more food cultures!" Feifei introduced excitedly.

Cuihua's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Fantastic! With this time-travel stone, we can travel to more times and spaces to learn about all kinds of delicious food, and then bring them back for our guests to taste! Feifei, let's start our time travel now!"

With a flash of light, Cuihua and Feifei arrived in an unfamiliar time and space. It was an extremely prosperous city, with skyscrapers rising from the ground and drones shuttling across the sky. Cuihua and Feifei walked along the streets, experiencing the different atmosphere.

Suddenly, an enticing aroma wafted over, drawing their attention to a small stall.

"Sister Cuihua, look over there! That's a stall selling duck necks!" Feifei excitedly grabbed Cuihua's hand.

As the two approached the stall, they saw a young vendor stir-frying duck necks in a sizzling pot, the aroma filling the air.

"Vendor, how do you make these duck necks? They smell so tempting!" Cuihua couldn't help but ask.

The vendor smiled and replied, "These are the most popular duck necks in my time. I marinate them with special spices and then use a unique stir-frying method to ensure that every single one is tender and delicious! Have one and try it!"

Cuihua and Feifei took the duck necks and each took a bite. The rich aroma instantly filled their mouths, and the salty, savory, and tender taste was intoxicating.

"This is so delicious! We must bring this food back with us and give our guests a completely new experience!" Cuihua said excitedly.

Back at the restaurant, Cuihua and Feifei immediately set to work preparing their signature duck necks. After numerous experiments and improvements, they finally succeeded in recreating the original flavor of the duck necks from the time they had traveled through.

On the first day, the restaurant's signature duck neck dish caused a huge sensation. Customers raved about it, giving it rave reviews.

As the restaurant business gradually expanded, customers kept coming in. To this end, Cuihua not only expanded the restaurant to occupy the entire building, but also hired more chefs and waiters. Their restaurant has become one of the most popular restaurants in this timeline.

However, success also comes with challenges. As the restaurant rapidly expanded, competitors began to notice Cuihua's innovation and appeal. They rushed to imitate her, attempting to launch their own time-traveling dishes. Cuihua realized that they needed to continue innovating and constantly introducing new dishes to maintain their leading position.

With the help of the time-traveling stone, Cuihua and Feifei traveled to another dimension. This was a future world brimming with technological advancements, where food was synthesized using advanced technology. Due to the fast pace of life and environmental degradation, food resources had become extremely scarce, leading people to place greater emphasis on nutritious and sustainable food.

Inspired by this timeline, Cuihua and Feifei launched a series of new dishes at their restaurant, created using synthetic technology. These dishes are not only uniquely flavorful but also highly nutritious and beneficial to health, utilizing a large amount of recycled ingredients. This initiative further enhanced the popularity and reputation of Cuihua Restaurant.

Over time, Cuihua's restaurant achieved a series of breakthroughs and innovations. By constantly exploring different time periods through the stone, they brought back all kinds of unique delicacies, becoming one of the most influential and innovative restaurants in the world.

At the same time, Cuihua understands that success and challenges go hand in hand. The restaurant's success has attracted more competition, and they need to keep up with the times and maintain a spirit of innovation. Only in this way can they continue to develop and bring the enjoyment of delicious food to more people.

Chapter 12: Time Traveler

The restaurant's diverse cuisine has become a major attraction in the nearby town, drawing more and more tourists. Cuihua constantly challenges herself and innovates, keeping her restaurant always fresh and exciting.

One day, a young man who came to Cuihua's restaurant to enjoy the food caught Cuihua's attention. He had a pair of clear eyes and a shrewd and capable appearance.

"Welcome, sir. What would you like to order?" Cuihua asked kindly.

“I’ve heard that you can taste delicacies from different times and spaces here, which is really interesting. I’ve come here to find a way to travel through time,” the man said.

"A method to travel through time?" Cuihua asked in surprise.

The man nodded, looked at Cuihua, and told her, "I am a time traveler. I can travel through time and space to explore different historical periods and future worlds. But my main purpose is to find delicious food. I have already tasted the food from different times, but I still feel it's not enough. I want to try more delicious food. Can you help me?"

Hearing this, Cuihua was filled with surprise and curiosity. She recalled her own journey through time to explore different culinary cultures. This intriguing time traveler reminded her of her past.

“Of course, I’d love to,” Cuihua replied cheerfully.

The man explained his equipment and the principles behind his time travel to Cuihua. He took out a small device and pressed one of the buttons. A flash of light appeared, and the once quiet and ordinary restaurant instantly became noisy, as if time and space themselves were reacting in some way.

As the light faded, the restaurant's layout became utterly unfamiliar. The tables and chairs had almost vanished, replaced by bustling yet unfamiliar buildings, as well as lush gardens and streets.

Cuihua looked out the window, shocked to find that her city had undergone tremendous changes. The once simple cityscape was now surrounded by dazzling skyscrapers, bustling commercial streets, and futuristic vehicles. She stared wide-eyed out the window, while the man beside her smiled and nodded slightly.

“Yes, this is the future. Don’t be surprised, because it is this change that has created a series of innovative dishes,” the man said calmly.

"The food of the future?" Cuihua asked incredulously.

"That's right, I came here to taste the food of the future. In this time and space, all kinds of new technologies are used to develop food. There are smart kitchen utensils, synthetic ingredients, and all sorts of other high-tech cooking methods. All of this can be shown in the food of the future."

Curiosity and interest gleamed in Cuihua's eyes as she walked out of the restaurant and onto the streets of the future.

The world has changed dramatically, but food culture remains an indispensable part of people's lives. On the streets, "food stalls" have become a beautiful sight.

"Are these the food shops of the future?!" Cuihua exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the open shops.

“That’s right. These shops use sophisticated technology to make all kinds of food. Like restaurants today, they try to apply the latest technology to food,” the man said. “Let’s go over and try some food.”

Cuihua followed the man to a "future barbecue restaurant." The storefront was quite simple, but thanks to its new technology, it was at the forefront of the future food market.

Cuihua ordered a "Future BBQ Platter." The restaurant placed a piece of "synthetic meat" on a rack, and with the help of a machine, it began to be sliced ​​and grilled. In an instant, the grilled "meat" appeared on the grill plate. The meat was tender and melted in your mouth, completely comparable to real BBQ.

In addition, this restaurant has some exclusive, secret-recipe seasonings. These are made by end-users who tell an AI robot their desired seasonings, each with its own unique flavor and subtle nuances. The restaurant then uses technology to precisely apply these customized seasonings to the ingredients, resulting in an even more exceptional and delicious flavor.

Cuihua clearly tasted the novelty and futuristic feel of the food, and experienced the new culinary lifestyle brought about by technology. Sitting in the small square surrounded by flowers and greenery, her heart was filled with the joy of food and a spirit of exploration for the future.

“Time travel is truly a wonderful journey. It allowed me to explore different worlds and taste different cuisines.” Cuihua turned to the man who had put down the instrument and said with emotion, “If the future arrives, will our greatest hope be that there will still be endless food exploration and imagination? This world is truly wonderful and incredible.”

The man chuckled softly, “Yes, it’s wonderful and dreamlike. But the nature of time and space is constantly changing, while food is always our eternal pursuit. So we must keep learning and innovating, hoping to explore more food cultures in the ‘future’.”

With the time traveler's departure, Cuihua returned to the real world. She was filled with anticipation for the future and thought about how to use the latest technology to create even more delicious food.

The limitations of time and space can no longer hold them back. They possess an indomitable spirit of innovation, and a bright future lies ahead!
