The father and brother-in-law both looked at Feng Haidong with some surprise.
When my father was still in the village, he had heard Feng Haidong and Feng Baoan talk about raising crayfish.
But when Feng Haidong brought it up again today, my father was still somewhat surprised.
Fang Jianxing was clearly even more surprised; he had never imagined that crayfish needed to be farmed.
After his initial surprise, Fang Jianxing asked, "Haidong, you're not joking with your brother-in-law, are you? Is it worth raising those things? Summer is almost here, and those things are really everywhere in the ditches. Didn't you go to check on Feng Baoan when you came back today? He's already harvested quite a lot."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "I don't need to go and see. I know Uncle Bao'an has already collected quite a lot, and I asked him to collect it for me."
Fang Jianxing asked, puzzled, "You asked Feng Baoan to collect them for you? Do you really need that many in Haidong?"
Feng Haidong earnestly explained to his brother-in-law, which was also, in effect, an explanation to his father.
"I have a shop in the city, right? I specially prepared a fish tank at the entrance of the shop. When Uncle Bao'an helps me collect this batch of crayfish, I will put them in the fish tank to keep them for the time being."
That way, every customer who comes to my restaurant to eat crayfish will see that the crayfish are absolutely fresh and alive, which will also improve my restaurant's reputation.
After listening, Feng Chungu said, "Hmm, Haidong, you are right to do this. If you are going to do this business, you should do it better than others. It is good that you use a fish tank to show customers fresh crayfish. We must also ensure that our products are genuine and of fair price."
Feng Haidong responded to his father: "That's right, that's why I asked Uncle Bao'an to help me collect a batch of crayfish. Of course, after this batch is transported there, I believe Uncle Bao'an will be able to take a break for a while."
At this moment, as Fang Jianxing listened to his father-in-law and brother-in-law's words, his mind stirred slightly, and he slowly began to understand.
"Haidong, I understand. You're asking for so many crayfish this time. Once that stuff becomes popular in the city, there will definitely be a shortage. After all, even if there are plenty in the ditches, if you keep catching them in such large quantities, they might actually be wiped out."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, it's not that bad that we've caught them all. Crayfish have a pretty strong reproductive ability. I just wanted you to raise them so that you could give it a try. And if you raise them, your crayfish can be on the market earlier."
Fang Jianxing was very clever; he figured out Feng Haidong's intentions in just a few words.
"Haidong, your idea is really good. Your brother-in-law is willing to trust you. But I don't know anything about crayfish farming. We can't just raise them like that, can we?"
Feng Haidong said, "Brother-in-law, I've heard that some people in other places are already raising them. I was thinking that if you're really willing to do it, I'll go back and find out where people are raising them, and then I'll pay for it so you can go and learn."
Fang Jianxing was even more excited. He hadn't expected his brother-in-law to be so good to him, even offering to pay for him to learn a skill.
At the same time, Feng Chungu looked at his son, and then he said to his son-in-law, "Jianxing, you should understand that Haidong's business is just starting out, but he is still willing to help you. Do you know why?"
Fang Jianxing was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely always treat Yunhua well, and I will also be more filial to you and Mom."
Feng Chungu shook his head and said, "The real reason is not that. It's because you are Haidong's brother-in-law. You are family, so Haidong entrusted such an important matter to you, his brother-in-law. For Haidong, the source of goods is his lifeline in this business."
Fang Jianxing suddenly understood. He looked up at his father-in-law and then at his brother-in-law.
At this moment, Fang Jianxing recalled how, in his youthful days, he was always getting into trouble. Every time, his father-in-law would tirelessly go to the police station to get him out, and his father-in-law even paid compensation for others on his behalf.
Now, looking at his brother-in-law Feng Haidong, he was willing to let his brother-in-law learn and do the breeding business as soon as possible.
Fang Jianxing knew that this was a sign of trust in his family.
Ultimately, they are family, which is why Feng Haidong trusts him so much.
Fang Jianxing earnestly said to Feng Haidong, "Don't worry, your brother-in-law will definitely help you do this well this time. Find out where there are aquaculture farms, and your brother-in-law will go there to learn right away."
At this moment, Feng Haidong was also moved by his father's words.
Looking back on his past life, it was actually his family who helped Feng Haidong during the most difficult times at home.
The parents took out their savings to help the wife pay off her debts.
Feng Haidong also recalled that for a period of time his father would always ask someone to bring him food to the city.
Looking back now, my parents lived in a town and didn't grow any crops. So, it's easy to imagine that the grain my father asked someone to bring to Feng Haidong's family was given by my eldest sister and brother-in-law.
Home, this is family.
Now, hearing my father say that we are all one family, and hearing that my brother-in-law is willing to help me learn how to raise crayfish.
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer. It may not be possible in the next two years, but you will definitely not regret raising crayfish in the future."
Fang Jianxing said, "With Hai Dong here, my brother-in-law can trust you."
Feng Haidong, his father, and his brother-in-law laughed together.
Hearing the laughter, the older woman who was washing dishes with Lu Wanling looked over.
Feng Yunhua said, "Wanling, I feel that Haidong has changed a lot now. Before, Haidong was always involved in literature and articles. Every time his articles were published in the newspaper, you wouldn't know, but Dad was so happy. I just felt that Haidong was a bit out of touch with reality."
