After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the holiday officially begins.

Lu Yaobin had printed flyers for Feng Haidong's restaurant in advance, so naturally, the restaurant welcomed many customers on the first night after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Many of his regular customers even brought their families to support Feng Haidong.

"Haidong, I brought my parents here today so they can try your grilled fish. You have to pick out a big one for us!"

Feng Haidong smiled and agreed: "No problem. In a little while, you can go to the door and pick out some live fish, and we'll have them killed for you."

"Mr. Feng, I brought my child here today. My son can't eat spicy food, so please don't put chili peppers in it."

Feng Haidong agreed: "Okay, if you can't eat spicy food, then let's have a garlic flavor. Garlic Golden Broth is one of the best-selling dishes around here."

"Brother Feng, I came with my friends and my girlfriend. You have to cook something delicious for us."

Feng Haidong said, "Haha, okay, you have a girlfriend? Then I'll give your table an extra drink today."

Feng Haidong warmly welcomes every guest and can chat with all sorts of people.

Knowing there would be many people, Feng Haidong specifically assigned Song Rui to be in charge of selecting and weighing the fish for everyone, while Chen Zhiyong and Yang Chengjian were responsible for slaughtering and cleaning the fish.

As for the service at the restaurant, Dong Xia, Liu Fang, and Zhang Yongyan were in charge of it all, leading a team of people.

It can be said that Feng Haidong coordinated all the affairs of the restaurant very well.

With dedicated personnel in charge of various tasks, even with a large number of guests, arrangements can be made very easily.

Today, his wife, Lu Wanling, is in charge of the cash register, specifically responsible for collecting money and keeping accounts.

Of course, because he was worried that his wife's health wouldn't be able to handle it, Feng Haidong also arranged for his sister-in-law to help out.

The son, Feng Qifan, and Yang Xiaoxi were at the home of his parents-in-law.

Today, Lu Yue went to visit Aunt Zhou Xiaoxiao's house with her father.

Although Lu Wanling was somewhat worried about her niece visiting Zhou Xiaoxiao's house, she ultimately did not stop her after being comforted by her husband.

The first wave of guests had already taken their seats, and the entire restaurant was full.

Feng Haidong said goodbye to everyone one last time and then quickly went to the back yard to help Chen Zhiyong and Yang Chengjian kill fish.

Each fish is given a number tag when it is weighed.

After slaughtering and cleaning the fish, Feng Haidong immediately carried it into the kitchen to begin preparations.

Now, Feng Haidong's kitchen has undergone some renovations, and there is a special oven for grilling fish.

After the charcoal fire was heated, Feng Haidong placed the fish, one by one, onto the fire.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle.

As the oil dripped down, the aroma of grilled fish rose and filled the kitchen.

Feng Haidong now has a very good grasp of the heat control when grilling fish. He can basically handle several fish at the same time without any fish getting overcooked.

While the fish was grilling over the fire, Feng Haidong had already prepared the seasoning sauce on the other side.

Once the grilled fish is almost done, quickly place some side dishes under the plate, then put the grilled fish on the plate, and finally pour the prepared sauce over the grilled fish.

That's not all; the baking pan also needs to be heated over a fire.

Let the grilled fish simmer in the broth for a while, and finally sprinkle with chopped green onions, cilantro, or dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and minced garlic.

Sizzle.

Pour hot oil over the fish, and a plate of grilled fish is ready.

As plate after plate of grilled fish was served, the waiting customers in the restaurant were all drawn to the grilled fish.

"It smells so good, it really smells so good."

"The grilled fish at Boss Feng's place is still the best."

"That's right, the grilled fish I went to before looked good, but it really didn't taste like the one at Mr. Feng's place."

"It smells so good right away, it's so tempting."

"Look at this, now this is what grilled fish should be like. Could the other place you went to be any better?"

"Mom and Dad, you should try it. This grilled fish is really authentic."

The customers in the restaurant were full of praise, and then everyone started eating, followed by unanimous rave reviews.

"It still tastes just like before."

"Wow, this grilled fish tastes absolutely amazing."

"Now I know why this family has so many people; the food is just too delicious."

"It really tastes completely different from the other place. The fish skin is still crispy, but the fish meat underneath is very tender. Paired with the soup inside, the taste is amazing."

"I never thought grilled fish could be made with garlic! It tastes really great."

"Son, this grilled fish is delicious."

"As expected, this is the place to eat grilled fish. The other place we went to before was really bad. You know how to eat well."

...

Amidst a chorus of praise, the first group of customers thoroughly enjoyed their meal.

Meanwhile, more customers began to arrive in front of the restaurant, and soon a queue formed.

Seeing that there were people queuing outside, Lu Wanling called Liu Fang over to the cashier and said, "Liu Fang, move the stools out so that the people queuing outside can sit and wait. Also, give some candy to the children, and if anyone wants water, get them some hot water inside."

Liu Fang agreed, saying, "Auntie, I understand. I'll go get the cards right away."

Soon, customers queuing outside received stools to sit on, children who had come with their parents received candy, and customers who needed water could also get hot water.

As the first group of customers began to finish eating and get up, they were quickly replaced by customers queuing outside.

Although it was only one day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Feng Haidong's restaurant was already experiencing a boom in business.

Looking at the scene in her restaurant, Lu Wanling couldn't help but think: "I'm afraid there will be even more people coming during the National Day holiday."

Feng Haidong's side achieved a good start to the event.

Duan Jian, on the other hand, began to find himself in a somewhat awkward situation.

It's not that Duan Jian's restaurant has no customers.

In fact, as Feng Haidong said, because his restaurant had limited space, as more and more people came to eat there, many people couldn't get a table and had to settle for Duan Jian's restaurant instead.

Therefore, Duan Jian's restaurant has a relatively stable business. It is usually full, and occasionally there are people queuing up.

This was originally a very good start.

However, as more and more people came to eat, Duan Jian and his group also faced a problem.

Duan Jian's shop is experiencing some shortages in raw material supply.

Because business was so good, the seafood supplier that Wang Cheng had contacted was unable to guarantee the quality and quantity of the supply, which led to the awkward situation where Duan Jian and his team had customers but no fish to cook for them.

Especially now that it's a holiday season, and the price of raw materials has also increased.

This really made Duan Jian and his group feel quite uncomfortable.

Therefore, Duan Jian could only tell Li Shitong that they needed to find a stable supplier.
