From the rural coastal levee to the end of the mountain pond, there are ancient streets, which are called Shantang Street, Ding Jie Street, Houjie Street and Xia Jie Street, and there are many shops. A traditional "dried oyster porridge" shop stands on the street and becomes a must-eat table food for local fishermen every day. However, due to political factors, its prosperity soon disappeared. In the Qing Dynasty (Qianlong period), the sea ban movement (trade with Taiwan) lasted for three years, while the "oyster porridge" shop stagnated for two years until the Anti-Japanese War. In modern times, after the opening of "Fuzhou-Xiamen Expressway", "Wotou" became a trade fortress, which promoted the rapid rise of local economy. After the Anti-Japanese War, the national economy gradually recovered its vitality, and the "Oyster Dry Porridge" store reopened until the liberation period; After liberation, the father of the current owner of "Wotou Oyster Porridge" moved to Tongan District with strong historical and cultural atmosphere on 1983. 1998, Jiang (the seventh generation descendant of oyster porridge shop) took over the business from his father. In order to commemorate Wotou, the origin of dried oyster porridge, he renamed the dried oyster porridge shop Wotou. On the basis of maintaining the original traditional flavor, he went to all parts of the country to taste local food, and also specially studied nutrition. He updated and improved the original porridge technology, and there are more than 50 kinds of basic porridge after innovation. Tongan's "Wotou Oyster Porridge" shop is bustling, welcoming guests everywhere, and its business is booming.
As the saying goes, "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley". Wotou oyster porridge has attracted much attention from all walks of life for its unique and classic traditional delicacy and health care and dietotherapy effects. With a keen sense of business opportunities, Chairman Jiang founded "Xiamen Wotou Chinese Food Co., Ltd." in 2003, so people of insight came here one after another and gathered under the banner of "Wotou Oyster Porridge". Now, "Xiamen Wotou Oyster Porridge" stores have mushroomed all over the country.
After the establishment of the company, Mr. Jiang, the former manager of Wotou Oyster Porridge, on the one hand ensured the supply and marketing channels of Wotou villagers' Oyster Porridge, on the other hand ensured that the "Oyster Porridge" cooked by various stores had the same taste. Therefore, "dried oysters" are processed in Wotou Village and distributed to franchisees, which not only ensures the life of local villagers, but also ensures the unification of franchisees' porridge. At the early stage of the development of Wotou Oyster Porridge Store, many villagers in Wotou Village once went out to run Wotou Oyster Porridge Store under the leadership of Jiang, and now they have become the owners of all branches of Wotou Oyster Porridge Store. The "Wotou Oyster Porridge" shop has also become an important economic channel for the external development of Wotou Village. After the completion of Xiang 'an Tunnel (only 2 kilometers away from Aotou), Aotou Village will be more prosperous and stand proudly in the east of Aojiang River, and it will become a bright pearl of Xiamen Bay City.
