Return to 1996, My Rich Family

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 ...

Chapter 419 Crayfish Arrival

Before we knew it, it was already the end of April. With the May Day holiday approaching, Feng Haidong's shop in the provincial capital received crayfish delivered by his brother-in-law and Liang Cong.

My brother-in-law, Fang Jianxing, even came along in the car.

Feng Haidong was very happy to see his brother-in-law get out of the car.

"Haha, brother-in-law, you came all this way too?"

Fang Jianxing said with a smile, "Of course I had to make a special trip. I told the driver I was going to the provincial capital, but he was hesitant to come at first, so I just came along."

Feng Haidong glanced at the driver, who was a rather young man.

Fang Jianxing explained, "He's my nephew from the same clan. I didn't know he owned a small truck for transport. I just happened to be calling to deliver crayfish to you, and he was driving home, so I asked him to help deliver it."

As he spoke, Fang Jianxing beckoned the driver to get out of the car: "Hongwei, come on, get out of the car and meet your uncle."

The driver, Fang Hongwei, got out of the car and shyly approached Feng Haidong, calling out, "Uncle."

Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Okay, thank you so much for this trip. I might need to trouble you again in the future. Do you remember the way? You shouldn't need your uncle to show you the way again, right?"

Fang Hongwei smiled and said, "No need. Actually, I roughly know the way, but this is my first time in the provincial capital, so I'm still a little worried."

Fang Jianxing said, "What are you worried about? You've met Uncle Haidong before. He'll definitely treat you well since you're here to deliver goods."

Feng Haidong laughed and said, "That's right. From now on, just deliver it directly to my door. And don't take your uncle's money. Come here, and I'll settle the payment with you when the goods are delivered. I definitely won't delay payment. I'll pay you once for each batch you deliver, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Jianxing immediately said, "That won't do, Haidong, I'll pay for the delivery."

Feng Haidong said, "No, no, brother-in-law, listen to me. I'll pay Hongwei for the delivery. As for your payment, I'll go back every month to settle it with you."

Fang Jianxing said, "What payment? Haidong, what do you mean by this? My brother-in-law raises these shrimp for you. I supply both of your stores, how could I possibly take your money?"

Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, that's not right of you. You definitely have to collect payment, otherwise how will you cover your breeding costs?"

Fang Jianxing wanted to say something more, just then Liu Fenzhen and her husband came out of the store together.

Liu Fenzhen stepped forward, looked Fang Jianxing up and down, and asked, "Is this Yunhua's husband?"

Feng Haidong quickly introduced them: "Yes, yes, this is my brother-in-law, this is my cousin, and this is my cousin's husband."

Fang Jianxing quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Hello, elder cousin, hello, cousin-in-law."

Liu Fenzhen and her husband smiled and said, "Okay, come in quickly, sit down and rest for a while, and have a glass of water."

Feng Haidong also said, "Yes, yes, brother-in-law, take Hongwei inside to sit down and have some water. I'll find someone to unload the goods here."

As he spoke, Feng Haidong called out to the store, "Song Rui, you guys come out and unload the crayfish from the truck."

Upon hearing this, Song Rui and the male waiters in the store rushed out together.

Upon seeing the crayfish on the truck, Song Rui exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, the crayfish have finally arrived! Just in time for our store to start selling them during the May Day holiday!"

The other staff members at the provincial capital branch were also curious about what it was.

The waiters in the provincial capital were quite surprised when they saw the crayfish.

"Is this edible?"

"Yeah, these shrimp don't look appetizing at all."

"Yes, this shrimp has a hard and thick shell, how can it taste good?"

Song Rui said, "Not tasty? That's because you haven't tried Brother Feng's cooking. Once you've tasted it, you'll understand how delicious this crayfish is."

Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Alright, stop arguing and hurry up and unload the crayfish."

Fang Jianxing and Fang Hongwei also wanted to help, but Liu Fenzhen and her husband stopped them.

Ma Bangcheng said with a smile, "Jianxing, you don't need to interfere. Let the young people do it. Jianxing, you are Haidong's brother-in-law, and so am I. Since you're here today, don't leave at noon. We two brothers-in-law should have a good drink together, and let Haidong make you some crayfish to go with your drinks."

Feng Haidong laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, my cousin-in-law is right. It's rare for the two of you to meet today. You must have a drink together at noon. I'll make some crayfish for you all to try."

Fang Jianxing became interested after hearing this: "Okay, I'll listen to my brother-in-law."

After Fang Jianxing and Fang Hongwei entered the store, Feng Haidong and the others unloaded the crayfish from the truck, basket by basket, and carried them into the store.

The landlord next door saw a car parked in front of the door and came out of his small shop. He saw Feng Haidong and his group carrying baskets of crayfish and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Haidong, what new stuff are you guys bringing this time?"

Feng Haidong responded with a smile: "Oh, it's crayfish. They've just started to come into season, and I'm planning to add them to my restaurant's menu."

The landlord leaned closer to take a look and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, these shrimp with their claws outstretched, can you really eat them?"

Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Sure, I'll make you a serving when it's ready at noon so you can have a taste."

The landlord shook his head: "I won't eat it. The shell is so hard. I'm an old man, I'm afraid I'll break my teeth if I eat it."

Feng Haidong said with a smile, "It's okay, you can peel off the shell and eat it."

The landlord asked, "Can this kind of shrimp really taste good?"

Feng Haidong said, "You'll know once you try it at noon."

After saying goodbye to the landlord, Feng Haidong and his companions continued to deliver basket after basket into the store.

The landlord stood at the door and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's a lot! So many shrimp? This Feng Haidong is no ordinary man. Sending over so many shrimp, it seems he's planning to make a big splash?"

During this time, the landlord watched Feng Haidong's shop grow step by step.

First, grilled fish and barbecue made a name for themselves in the provincial capital.

Also, they make boxed lunches at noon and deliver them to some nearby construction sites, which is a really good business.

This often made the landlord sigh to his family after returning home: "Feng Haidong is really a good businessman. He has only been in the provincial capital for a few months, but he has already done such a good job in business."

Today, we saw Feng Haidong carrying baskets of crayfish into the store from his small truck.

The landlord was very curious about what kind of flavor Feng Haidong could make from crayfish.

Feng Haidong moved all the crayfish into the restaurant, into the kitchen, and then he and Song Rui, along with the restaurant's staff, began to sort and clean the crayfish.

The crayfish in the basket, which was originally quite dirty and messy, were cleaned up by Feng Haidong and Song Rui.

The waiters who worked at the restaurant were surprised to find that the crayfish, after being cleaned, remained lively even when placed in water.

Seeing the waiters' surprised expressions, Song Rui said with a hint of pride, "Don't be surprised. You'll be even more surprised after you taste Brother Feng's crayfish."
