On his first day back at the store in the provincial capital, Feng Haidong was impressed by the business he saw that lasted all night.

Business is indeed better in the provincial capital.

Feng Haidong's store has a very obvious geographical advantage.

Although the entrance to the pedestrian street was blocked by construction, it did not prevent people from coming to the road where Feng Haidong's shop was located from other directions.

Especially at Feng Haidong's shop, a truckload of live fish is delivered every day.

Its reputation had already spread throughout the provincial capital.

Whether you're a local or a visitor to the provincial capital, everyone knows Feng Haidong's shop. He uses only fresh, live fish every day, which has earned his shop an excellent reputation.

In addition, the price is relatively affordable.

So now many people have gotten used to it.

Whenever friends get together, three or five friends will come to Feng Haidong's shop.

Order a grilled fish, some barbecue or other dishes, and you can have a great meal with three or five friends.

Some families come together, just to enjoy a treat together as a family.

When Feng Haidong closed his shop in the evening, he found that the shop in the provincial capital was closing not because he worked too late, but because the fish delivered that day had almost all been used up.

Seeing this situation, I sat down with my older cousin, brother-in-law, and Song Rui that evening to settle the accounts.

Feng Haidong asked directly, "Big sister, brother-in-law, when I wasn't back, were you like this every day? Basically, you sold out all the fish delivered that day?"

Liu Fenzhen and her husband looked at each other, and then the couple, along with Song Rui, all laughed.

Song Rui said excitedly while laughing, "Brother Feng, you have no idea how good the business is at this store in the provincial capital. They sell out every day when the fish they deliver."

Liu Fenzhen added, "Yes, it sells out every day. Haidong, your skills are truly amazing. Many of my friends, including your brother-in-law, who have eaten here, say that your grilled fish tastes really good."

Ma Bangcheng said, "Haidong, we never expected business to be this good every day."

Feng Haidong said, "It's good if business is good. I was worried that the shop might not be doing well at night before I came back, and that would make my older sister and brother-in-law anxious."

Ma Bangcheng said, "Haha, how can we be worried about bad business? Business is booming right now."

Liu Fenzhen said, "Haidong, actually, we wanted to discuss with you about whether we should ask Xiao Liang to send us more fish. That way, we can extend our business hours in the evening, and I think business will definitely be better."

Song Rui chimed in, "Yes, yes, Brother Feng, there are quite a few young people in the provincial capital who like to go out for late-night snacks. I think it would be really helpful to send more fish over so we can stay open later in the evening."

Ma Bangcheng said, "Haidong, your older sister and I have also discussed this. If we work late into the night, we won't let the waiters work so late. We'll let them go home around 10 p.m., and we'll work a little later. That way, when we close, we'll stay at the shop."

Upon hearing this, Feng Haidong immediately said, "Sister and brother-in-law, you're working too hard. If we really have to stay open later, let me and Xiao Song stay and work. You should go home and rest early."

Liu Fenzhen immediately said, "Haidong, what are you saying? This shop doesn't belong to you alone. Do you expect me to work hard every day by myself?"

Besides, it would be too tiring for your brother-in-law and me to go home and back every day. It's better for us to stay at the shop and help watch it.

Ma Bangcheng also said, "That's right. Although Xiaoling's home is not far from here, we can't always stay at our son-in-law's house, can we? Besides, if we go back too late every day, it will also affect the young couple."

After hearing what his older cousin and her husband said, Feng Haidong realized that it seemed to be true.

Now, it's really too far for my older cousin and her husband to go home at night.

Living at his daughter Ma Ling's house all the time is indeed somewhat inconvenient.

Feng Haidong thought for a moment and said, "By the way, sister and brother-in-law, didn't we agree before the New Year that we would rent a place around here after I came back? Have you looked for one?"

This time, Song Rui spoke up directly again: "Brother Feng, I think we really don't need to rent a house. I can sleep in the shop."

Feng Haidong shook his head helplessly and said, "When I said renting a house, it wasn't just for us to live in, but also for some of the shop's staff."

Ma Bangcheng immediately said, "I think Haidong's arrangement is good. We can rent a house nearby and use it as a dormitory for the shop's staff. That way, the staff won't have to travel so far every night."

Feng Haidong said, "That's right. Actually, most of our waiters are from out of town. They all rent houses in the provincial capital. I remember some of them rent quite far away. Rather than letting them live so far away, it's better for us to rent houses for them all nearby."

Liu Fenzhen thought her cousin's words made sense: "Yes, that way, we won't be afraid to stay open very late."

Feng Haidong said, "Sister and brother-in-law, my idea is that we don't need to stay open very late on weekdays, but we can extend our business hours on weekends. On weekends, many people will go to the pedestrian street area to play when they are resting, and if we stay open a little later at night, there will be many people eating there."

After some discussion, everyone agreed with Feng Haidong's idea.

Afterwards, Liu Fenzhen took out the account book and carefully reconciled the accounts with Feng Haidong.

Feng Haidong originally didn't want to reconcile the accounts, but his older cousin's attitude was very clear: if he didn't want to reconcile the accounts, then his older cousin wouldn't take a single penny.
