Feng Haidong lived an unremarkable life and passed away peacefully. After his death, he found himself back in 1996.
Now in his prime at the age of thirty, Feng Haidong resolves to try just a ...
Not long after Lu Wanling brought her son over, someone curiously approached Feng Haidong in front of the stroller to ask about the price.
Unlike Su Xin's previous approach, Lu Wanling would greet customers with her husband and help him explain pricing issues.
“These braised crayfish were all picked out one by one. Look at their size. If you go to the market, you can’t buy all of them this big for 1 yuan a pound, right?”
Moreover, we wash each one very carefully, and cooking them takes a lot of oil and gas, not to mention all the various seasonings. Five for one yuan, and this is our first time making them, so it's already cheap. You probably won't be able to buy them at this price again in the future.
Lu Wanling was not intimidated at all when faced with people asking about prices; in fact, she gave a reasoned explanation.
After listening to Lu Wanling's explanation, I tried the steamed bun strips dipped in soup that Feng Haidong had given me.
Customers who inquired about the price had to admit that Feng Haidong's crayfish were indeed delicious.
The flavor is not only spicy and savory, but also has a hint of sweetness hidden within the spiciness. The addition of that sweetness is the finishing touch, just right to whet one's appetite.
With the help of Feng Haidong and his wife, a lot of the crayfish on the plate were quickly sold out.
In the blink of an eye, the crayfish that Feng Haidong had prepared on short notice today were almost sold out.
The salt and pepper shrimp tails on the other side, which were sold with beer, were also quickly emptied.
Feng Haidong's homemade salt and pepper seasoning, paired with crispy fried shrimp tails, is simply the perfect accompaniment to drinks.
When the crayfish and beer were almost sold out, the owners of the food stall said with a smile, "Congratulations! It's a very auspicious day for your business. It's not even 10 o'clock yet and you're already almost sold out."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "I have to thank my elder brother and sister-in-law for allowing me to place it in such a prominent position."
Sun Yongxing said, "Why be so polite? We're all in business, helping each other out is only natural."
The proprietress said, "Yes, and that cold vegetable platter you mentioned to your brother last time is also very popular. We've had a lot of repeat customers these past few days, and it's a must-order for them."
Feng Haidong responded, "Really? As long as it sells well."
Lu Wanling looked at the few remaining crayfish and about a case of beer, then glanced at her son, who was sitting on a small stool and had already started to doze off.
She said to Sun Yongxing and his wife, "Brother and sister-in-law, you can have the rest of this. These two won't buy much more. Here's a case of beer. You can help sell it. When Haidong comes to set up his stall again, you can just give him the cost price."
The proprietress, Zhao Hongxia, immediately said, "Sure, you two are trustworthy. Just leave the beer here; we'll probably be able to sell it for you tonight."
Feng Haidong immediately said, "There's nothing to distrust, it's just that it's quite a hassle for you, brother and sister-in-law."
Sun Yongxing said, "Brother, there's no trouble at all. Like I said, we're all in business. Just come over in the evenings from now on, and I'll definitely save you a seat."
Feng Haidong earnestly clasped his hands in a fist and said to Sun Yongxing, "Okay, thank you so much, Brother Sun and Sister-in-law."
Afterwards, Lu Wanling scooped out the remaining crayfish and gave them to Sun Yongxing and his wife, while Feng Haidong took the beer out of the cart cabinet and placed it on Sun Yongxing's side.
Then Feng Haidong cleaned up the tray and said goodbye to Sun Yongxing and Zhao Hongxia.
A family of three pushed a stroller across the street and walked home along the main road.
Sun Yongxing and his wife watched the family of three walk away, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Zhao Hongxia said, "Sure enough, they are a real couple who help each other out. Although that young woman is young and beautiful, she has always been too proud to help, so she is obviously not suitable for Feng Haidong."
Sun Yongxing smiled and said, "There's nothing between the two of them, so don't go around making things up."
Zhao Hongxia said, "Well, I just need to keep an eye on things for my sister-in-law, right?"
Sun Yongxing shook his head and smiled wryly: "What's there to see here? Feng Haidong isn't some big shot. What kind of charm can he have to attract young girls with just a small stall at the night market?"
Zhao Hongxia said, "That's because you didn't notice. I think Feng Haidong is a very gentlemanly person. He speaks politely and can also make jokes. This kind of man is always very popular with young girls."
Upon hearing his wife's words, Sun Yongxing immediately put on a stern face and pretended to be angry, asking, "You didn't actually fall for her yourself, did you?"
As a result, Zhao Hongxia grabbed her husband's ear and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I think you want to suffer tonight, don't you?"
When his wife grabbed his ear, Sun Yongxing deflated instantly.
"Honey, honey, I was just saying it casually, just kidding, just kidding, don't be angry, don't be angry, watch your ears, they're going to fall off."
Seeing her husband's pleading look, Zhao Hongxia smiled and let go of his hand: "Alright, if someone orders drinks later, remember to recommend the beer that Xiao Feng and Xiao Lu left."
Sun Yongxing said, "I know."
Feng Qifan crossed the road with his parents. Looking at the stroller his father was pushing, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, can I push it?"
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Sure, then you push the car back, do you dare?"
Feng Qifan immediately perked up: "Sure, it's a deal then. I'll push it home, and Mom and Dad aren't allowed to help."
Seeing her son's confident expression, Lu Wanling couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you can do it?"
Feng Qifan patted his chest and said, "Yes, yes."
Feng Haidong encouraged him, "Good son, come on, you take charge of pushing it home so Dad and Mom can rest."
