At noon, Feng Haidong did not officially open his crayfish restaurant; he only held an opening ceremony and entertained mostly relatives and friends.
Besides the dishes from Sun Yongxing and several other night market food stall owners, the most crucial dish was Feng Haidong's crayfish.
Feng Haidong was well-prepared and used a relatively large pot to start cooking the crayfish one pot at a time.
In addition to the traditional spicy crayfish, he also launched non-spicy crayfish in golden broth with garlic, crayfish with pickled peppers, and crayfish cooked with thirteen spices.
Once the crayfish with different flavors were served, they immediately became a popular treat among friends and family.
As it turned out, the most popular dish wasn't spicy crayfish, but rather garlic crayfish in golden broth.
So the garlic crayfish in golden broth on each table were almost devoured by everyone in no time.
Then, everyone was very excited and even went straight to the serving window to shout to Feng Haidong inside, clamoring for more crayfish in golden broth with garlic.
Feng Haidong hadn't expected that everyone would like the golden broth and garlic flavor so much.
He came out and looked at his relatives and friends, asking, "What's going on? Does everyone like the garlic flavor so much?"
Father-in-law Lu Chengzong smiled and said, "Haidong, your garlic crayfish is really delicious. Not only is the garlic flavor strong, but the broth is also fantastic and very fresh. How did you make this broth?"
Other friends and relatives in the restaurant also asked, all wanting to know how the garlic broth was made.
When Feng Haidong saw that everyone was asking, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, this golden soup is my signature dish, my secret recipe. Even my wife doesn't know it, so I definitely can't tell you. If you think it's delicious, please come and support me more often in the future."
Hearing this, everyone in the restaurant burst into laughter.
Colleagues teased him, saying that Feng Haidong was deliberately luring everyone to keep coming to eat.
Feng Haidong didn't mince words and said directly, "That's right. If I give you this secret recipe, how will I do business if you all make it at home?"
This remark made everyone in the restaurant laugh, but they all understood.
Furthermore, his relatives and friends all expressed that they would come to support Feng Haidong whenever they had time.
The afternoon was spent in a big gathering with relatives and friends who came to congratulate us.
Afterwards, Lu Wanling quietly approached her husband and asked him how much he had spent at noon.
Feng Haidong smiled and handed the ledger to his wife: "The accounting is definitely something you should handle, but don't worry, we'll definitely earn back the money we spent at noon."
Lu Wanling glanced at the ledger and discovered that her husband had recorded almost every expense.
She did a rough calculation and exclaimed in surprise, "It really cost a lot of money!"
Feng Haidong said, "Don't worry, all of this is in my calculations. Do you believe me? Soon, everyone who ate here today will come back and make me earn back the money I spent on treating them today."
Looking at her husband's confident expression, Lu Wanling smiled and said, "I believe you. The new flavors you introduced today really taste great. How did you come up with those flavors? I don't think you usually do much research at home."
Feng Haidong smiled and replied to his wife, "This is your husband's top-secret recipe, which cannot be easily shown to others."
Lu Wanling reached out and gently patted her husband: "You're just bragging. A top-secret recipe, huh? Be careful that people don't figure out how to make it after they've tried it a few times."
Feng Haidong said, "It's okay. If they have the ability, they can study it. Anyway, our goal next is to control the supply of crayfish. When they all start selling crayfish, the crayfish restaurants will become bigger, and we can make money more easily by controlling the supply of crayfish."
Hearing her husband say this, Lu Wanling asked curiously, "How can you control the supply of goods?"
Feng Haidong said, "I've already asked my brother-in-law to start researching breeding. Once he succeeds, we can promote it and let Feng Village and my brother-in-law's village raise it. Then we can control the supply of goods, right?"
Lu Wanling then asked, "But crayfish can be found in any small ditch, right?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "If more people eat it and more shops open, the supply of wild crayfish in the streams will definitely not be able to keep up, and the quality of wild crayfish cannot be guaranteed."
Lu Wanling said, "But does my brother-in-law know how to raise livestock?"
Feng Haidong said, "Don't worry, I've already started inquiring. I know that some people in other places have started raising them. I'll have my brother-in-law go over there to learn, and then he can come back and start trying it out."
As Lu Wanling listened to her husband's series of arrangements, she suddenly felt that she could understand her husband less and less.
However, seeing her husband's energetic attitude, Lu Wanling was willing to fully support him.
After lunch, relatives and friends once again congratulated Feng Haidong on the official opening of his restaurant, and all expressed their intention to come and eat there again in the future.
After that, friends and relatives naturally left one after another.
Feng Haidong, along with his wife and parents, saw off batches of relatives and friends.
When Ding Huaixiao left, he left behind two pieces of good news.
The first thing was that Lu Wanling didn't have to go to work in the afternoon; he agreed that Lu Wanling could help out at her husband's shop.
Secondly, he told Feng Haidong and Lu Yaobin that their advertising plan had been approved and that their company would be responsible for the advertising and promotion project in the liquor market.
Feng Haidong and Lu Yaobin were very happy to hear this, and their whole family was also happy for them.
