Over the weekend, Feng Haidong spent two days at his parents' house with his wife and son.

On Saturdays, I spend most of my time at home with my parents, and also chatting with my older sister and brother-in-law.

The next day, Feng Haidong took his son and went with his father to Feng Baoan's crayfish shop in town.

Feng Baoan chose a location near the fish market by the river for his shop.

When I came here in the morning, there were all kinds of live fish and shrimp being sold along the street.

This can be considered one of the conveniences of Feng Haidong's hometown, which is located by the river.

Looking at the various fresh fish and shrimp in the fish market, Feng Haidong's mind began to form some other ideas.

He felt that all the fresh fish and shrimp from the town's fish market could be purchased in one go and then transported to the city to be delivered to restaurants of all sizes.

Thinking this, Feng Haidong led his son and followed behind his father, crossing most of the fish market, and arrived at Feng Baoan's shop.

When Feng Baoan saw that it was Feng Haidong and his group, he quickly came out of the shop to greet them.

"Brother Chun Gu, Hai Dong, you're back?"

Feng Haidong looked around the shop and said with a smile, "Uncle Bao'an, you've really done a good job. You've managed it quite well."

Feng Baoan said with a smile, "Actually, I wasn't good at it at first either. The shop and some of the decorations were all done with the help of Brother Chun Gu. I've only recently started to gradually learn a little bit of experience."

Feng Chungu smiled and said, "Bao'an, you don't need to be modest. Everyone starts from not knowing to knowing. You're doing a great job now. Haidong's crayfish in the city are all thanks to you helping him with the supply."

Feng Haidong replied, "Yes, yes, Uncle Bao'an, you've really worked hard."

Feng Baoan smiled and said, "It's alright. As long as you need it, just give me a call and I'll arrange a car to deliver it to you the next day."

Feng Haidong nodded, and then the group went into the shop.

Once inside the shop, Feng Haidong asked directly, "Uncle Bao'an, how many crayfish can you expect to receive next Monday?"

Feng Baoan did a rough calculation and gave a general number.

"It should weigh at least 100 to 200 jin. If you need more, Haidong, you can actually collect more. But if you collect more, the shrimp won't be as big."

Actually, Feng Baoan is quite clever now. He knows that there are many crayfish in the small streams and ditches of the surrounding villages.

If we let everyone go around arresting people, we're afraid we'll arrest a lot of them every day.

However, many of the crayfish caught that way are likely just small shrimp that have been caught to pass off as crayfish.

Therefore, Feng Baoan made it clear to those who delivered crayfish that they must be large, intact crayfish. If there were many small crayfish mixed in, Feng Baoan would immediately turn hostile and might not accept those who mixed in fake crayfish in the future.

We're all from the same village, so Feng Baoan wouldn't accept this if it were sent to him.

He only needs to promote it at the fish market, and the news will spread far and wide in less than a day.

Therefore, the people from various villages who come to deliver shrimp almost never dare to mix them with fake shrimp.

This ensured that Feng Baoan could help Feng Haidong receive high-quality prawns.

Moreover, this way, those responsible for catching shrimp will temporarily release the small shrimp, instead of catching both large and small shrimp in one net.

Therefore, Feng Baoan was able to confidently answer Feng Haidong how many crayfish he could provide at once.

Feng Haidong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Uncle Bao'an, remember to keep an eye on things for me. Starting next week, send all the shrimp we collect every day to the city. Tomorrow, Monday, I'll wait for your car at the intersection on the way to my house and take you to familiarize yourself with the route. After that, send all the shrimp there for me for the next week."

Feng Baoan nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."

Feng Haidong then said very seriously, "Uncle Bao'an, there's one more thing you must remember: from now on, no matter who comes to you to buy shrimp, you must not sell it to them."

Feng Baoan was somewhat surprised. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Haidong, does this mean we won't sell to those seafood vendors who bought shrimp from us before anymore?"

Feng Haidong nodded with a smile: "That's right. Starting next week, we will stop selling to them. All the crayfish will be sent to me. Uncle Bao'an, you must remember this. From now on, all the crayfish you receive here must be supplied to me. No one else can sell them to you."

Feng Baoan said earnestly, "Okay, Haidong, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you and make sure the crayfish are never sold to anyone."

After hearing his son's repeated instructions, Feng Chungu thought for a moment and immediately understood his son's plan.

"Haidong, are you planning to monopolize the market?"

Feng Haidong was somewhat surprised, not expecting that his father would even know the word "monopoly".

Seeing her son's surprised expression, Feng Chungu calmly said, "You've said so much to your Uncle Bao'an, and repeatedly told him not to sell crayfish to anyone. I guessed you wanted to monopolize the market. Haidong, are you really sure you can handle it?"

Feng Haidong said with unusual seriousness, "Dad, I can be sure that I can eat them all, at least all the crayfish that Uncle Bao'an collected from various villages in town."

Feng Chun-gu then asked, "What about the money? Your Uncle Bao'an can't possibly pay for it for you; you need to pay for the crayfish every day in cash."

Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Dad, I've thought of all of this. Don't worry, I will definitely settle accounts with Uncle Bao'an every day and won't let him pay for me."

Then Feng Haidong added, "Moreover, I only need to monopolize the crayfish supply for two weeks. After two weeks, I estimate that those seafood merchants will start bringing in crayfish from other places. At that time, I will no longer need to monopolize the supply, and Uncle Bao'an can sell the crayfish to others."
