Business boomed immediately, and Feng Haidong's restaurant ushered in its first peak season after the Lunar New Year.

Especially around 8 p.m., quite a few more young people came.

This group of young people consists mostly of college students.

It was probably a get-together with old classmates and friends from home before university started.

As evening fell, a group of young people wanted to find a place to eat.

Discovering that Feng Haidong's restaurant was offering discounts, a group of young people naturally flocked to "Haihexian".

Because there were indeed a lot of people, Feng Haidong had to go into the kitchen to help.

In the kitchen, Feng Haidong, while busy at work, smiled and said to Yang Chengjian beside him, "How about it? Don't you suddenly realize that having too many people isn't necessarily a good thing?"

Yang Chengjian laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Who says it's not a good thing? Brother Feng, I think it's more lively with more people, and it means our business is doing well."

Feng Haidong said, "If I'm not here, can you manage all this by yourself?"

Yang Chengjian said, "Sure, last year when you weren't home, I was the only one working. When I was really overwhelmed, Dayong would come in and help me."

Feng Haidong thought for a moment and said, "It might be too busy with just you and Dayong. If there are too many people, things will get chaotic. How about I find someone else to help you with things like weighing and slaughtering?"

Yang Chengjian quickly said, "Really, there's no need. Brother Feng, you know that the restaurant can't be this busy every day. Later on, Dayong and I can manage. Sometimes Xixi's mother, or Dayong's girlfriend and sister can help with the weighing. It's not much trouble."

Feng Haidong nodded and said, "That's true. I was just worried that you and Dayong wouldn't be able to handle it all."

Yang Chengjian said, "Don't worry, Brother Feng, we can handle it."

Prepare the grilled fish in your hand and send it out through the window.

Feng Haidong returned to the grill, grilling skewers ordered by a group of young people in front of him, and said, "By the way, I saw that Duan Jian's shop seems to have closed down."

Yang Chengjian said, "Brother Feng, you saw it too?"

Feng Haidong said, "Yes, it's actually quite a pity about Duan Jian."

Yang Chengjian said, "Brother Feng, there's nothing to regret. It was his own choice. He thought he could do it, so he went out and started his own business. As a result, he lost everything in the last few months of last year. Who can he blame? He can only say that he overestimated his abilities."

Feng Haidong shook his head and said, "You can't say that. Duan Jian is capable. After all, he dared to learn how to make crayfish from me and then go out and do it on his own. That's already quite courageous."

And the fact that he later figured out how to make grilled fish really shows that he is indeed very capable.

Yang Chengjian said, "That's for sure. If he were to compare himself to me, I would admit that my abilities might not be as good as his."

After a brief pause, Yang Chengjian handed over the skewers he was holding, then came back and continued, "But his little skills are really no match for Brother Feng's."

Upon hearing this, Feng Haidong couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Xiao Yang, I've noticed you're not behaving properly these days? You've even started to flatter people!"

Yang Chengjian laughed and said, "How is this flattery? I'm just telling the truth."

Feng Haidong said, "Alright, alright, I think you're just praising me on purpose. The higher you praise me, the harder I'll fall."

Yang Chengli immediately said seriously, "No, I believe in your abilities, Brother Feng, you definitely won't fall."

Looking at Yang Chengjian's serious expression, Feng Haidong fell silent for a moment.

Yang Chengjian's statement demonstrates his absolute trust in Feng Haidong.

This made Feng Haidong suddenly feel a pressure on his shoulders.

In the past, Feng Haidong felt that as long as he followed his own ideas and continued to run the business, even if the business experienced some ups and downs, it was acceptable as long as it was within his tolerance.

But now, seeing how much Yang Chengjian trusts him, Feng Haidong understands that the business isn't just his own.

He is not only responsible for himself, but also for others who trust him and are willing to work with him.

Yang Chengjian's family, Chen Zhiyong and his girlfriend and sister, and his cousin's family from the provincial capital.

Feng Haidong suddenly realized that the fates of so many people seemed to be closely tied to his own.

Therefore, Feng Haidong can no longer continue as before, taking risks and starting things up even when he knows there are risks involved.

He needs to consider things carefully and try to avoid some risks.

Because he not only has so many relatives and friends who trust him.

He also has his family, his wife, and two children.

Feng Haidong looked at Yang Chengjian and said earnestly, "Xiao Yang, since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down. You and Dayong should run this restaurant well. After I return to the provincial capital, if there are any changes there and I want to try something new, I will definitely come back to try it here as soon as possible."

When Yang Chengjian heard Feng Haidong's words, he was taken aback at first, but he quickly understood what Feng Haidong meant.

The reason for trying out the new product is to do so at this restaurant in my hometown.

One reason is that people in my hometown are relatively familiar, so I can ask some relatives and friends to try it out.

On the other hand, it also shows Feng Haidong's trust in his hometown restaurant.

It's important to know that the launch of a new product will definitely attract both new and existing customers to try it.

This will undoubtedly give the restaurant a boost in business.

Feng Haidong has essentially shifted his focus to the provincial capital, but he still prefers to try out new dishes at his family restaurant first.

Yang Chengjian understood that Feng Haidong had taken care of him and Chen Zhiyong behind this.

After figuring this out, Yang Chengjian looked at Feng Haidong and said, "Brother Feng, thank you so much. Our family is really lucky to have met you, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are now."

Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Chengjian, actually we've helped each other out. If your family hadn't come to me for help, I wouldn't be able to leave for the provincial capital now."

Without anyone I can absolutely trust to help me, I inevitably have to choose between the family restaurant and the provincial capital.

So you don't need to say that I helped your family; you should say that our two families helped each other.

Yang Chengjian smiled and said, "Yes, it's our two families helping each other. Brother Feng hopes that our two families can continue to get along like this and maintain this sincerity and friendship."

Feng Haidong said, "Okay, our two families should maintain this friendship forever."

Feng Haidong and Yang Chengjian chatted for a while in the kitchen, and then the two of them hurriedly made the grilled fish and barbecue and sent them out.

As grilled fish and skewers were served one table after another, the restaurant was bustling with people clinking glasses and chatting.
