After closing for the evening, Feng Haidong and everyone cleaned up the restaurant together before gathering everyone together.
First, Feng Haidong asked everyone to sit down, and then he called out Duan Jian, the one he had caught stealing the master's skills that night.
Seeing Duan Jian emerge from the backyard, Chen Zhiyong couldn't help but say, "Hey, you're still here? What else are you trying to steal?"
As he spoke, Chen Zhiyong rolled up his sleeves, posing as if he was about to make a move.
Feng Haidong reached out to stop Chen Zhiyong: "Dayong, don't worry, I asked Duan Jian to stay."
This statement stunned everyone present, and for a moment they were all a little confused about what Feng Haidong meant.
Feng Haidong said with a serious expression, "Starting today, after closing time every night and before opening time every afternoon, I will begin to teach everyone how to cook crayfish, including how to cook my signature soup bases."
After saying this, Feng Haidong added, "Of course, whether or not you want to learn is entirely up to you."
After hearing what Feng Haidong said, everyone present looked at each other in shock.
Yang Chengjian couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, aren't those recipes your secrets? And the business of crayfish restaurants depends on those ingredients, right?"
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "It's precisely because the business of crayfish restaurants relies on them that everyone here, as my employees, naturally needs to know how to cook them. Otherwise, if I'm no longer here, who will be responsible for cooking our crayfish?"
These words left everyone somewhat bewildered.
Yang Chengjian asked, "Brother Feng, are you planning to leave?"
Feng Haidong said, "Chengjian, I told you before that I would definitely be leaving for a while."
Chen Zhiyong then asked, "Uncle, are you really going to pass on your skills to us?"
Feng Haidong said, "Of course, there's also Duan Jian. He'll be learning with you all from now on. I estimate I'll be leaving at the end of the month, and I should be able to teach you all enough in the next few days, so I can leave with peace of mind."
Chen Zhiyong asked, somewhat puzzled, "Uncle, why are you leaving? The restaurant is doing so well right now."
Feng Haidong said, "Business is very good, so I need to leave for a while to prepare some things."
This left everyone puzzled: "What does the boss need to prepare?"
Feng Haidong said, "It's a secret for now. Once I've made all the necessary contacts, everyone will naturally find out what it is."
Then he looked at Duan Jian and said, "Don't forget our agreement. You'll work at my restaurant for two months. Don't worry about your salary; it will definitely be the same as everyone else's."
Duan Jian said, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely do what I promised you."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "That puts my mind at ease."
Song Rui couldn't help but ask, "Boss, can I learn this too?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "I told you, everyone can learn. As long as you're willing to learn, you can learn."
Feng Haidong joked again, "What? Looks like you don't want to look at cars anymore?"
Song Rui said somewhat embarrassedly, "Boss, I also want to improve."
Feng Haidong said, "Okay, if you want to improve, then learn with me. Let's see who learns faster. After I leave, whoever does will become the head chef."
These words made Chen Zhiyong and Song Rui eager to try.
Duan Jian appeared calm on the surface, but he was secretly preparing to exert his strength.
At this moment, both girls were also eager to try.
Liu Fang asked, "Uncle Dong, can Yanzi and I learn this too?"
But before Feng Haidong could answer, Chen Zhiyong interjected, "The kitchen is full of men. Wouldn't it be better for you two to greet the customers in the front? Why are you trying to do that?"
Zhang Yongyan was clearly displeased with Chen Zhiyong's words, but she didn't say anything more.
Liu Fang naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with her cousin: "What's wrong? Uncle Dong just said that anyone can learn, so why can't Yanzi and I? Why can't we go into the kitchen?"
Chen Zhiyong said, "You don't understand, it's unlucky for girls to go into the kitchen."
Liu Fang asked, "Is that so? Then why is Aunt Ling always able to enter the kitchen when she comes?"
Chen Zhiyong said, "That's different. Aunt Ling is married. You see, when Sister Xia went in before, she wasn't stopped, was she?"
Liu Fang was still skeptical: "Really? I think Chen Zhiyong is lying to me."
Chen Zhiyong said, "How could that be? I absolutely did not lie to you."
Liu Fang couldn't believe it so easily, so she looked directly at Feng Haidong and asked, "Uncle Dong, is it true?"
Feng Haidong immediately laughed, then looked at Chen Zhiyong.
The latter was secretly pleading with Feng Haidong.
Feng Haidong did not help Chen Zhiyong deceive him. He said directly, "Perhaps some other places have such rules, but we don't. As I said, anyone can learn it, as long as you want to learn."
However, before Liu Fang and Zhang Yongyan could cheer, Feng Haidong added another sentence.
"But I also want to remind you that, as you can see, the pot we use to cook crayfish is very big, so it might be difficult for women to control the crayfish if they are studying this kind of pot."
After hearing Feng Haidong's additional words, Chen Zhiyong immediately perked up.
"Look, this is something I didn't say. The pots in Uncle Dong's kitchen are so big, how can you two women move them? Even if you manage to keep the pots steady, can you lift that big iron spatula?"
To dissuade the two girls from going to school, Chen Zhiyong pointed to the rather thin Song Rui.
"Look, not to mention the two of you, even Song Rui might not be able to lift that pot."
Song Rui didn't expect to be used as an example, but he resolutely argued, "I can do it. Although I look a bit thin, I'm very strong."
Seeing Song Rui show off the chicken on his arm, Chen Zhiyong couldn't help but say, "Yeah, I forgot. If you don't have any strength, it's really hard to steal a car."
Upon hearing this, Feng Haidong immediately reminded him, "Dayong, you can't say things like that carelessly."
Chen Zhiyong was stopped by Feng Haidong and immediately realized that he shouldn't have joked like that.
He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Song Rui, look, I didn't mean it."
Song Rui's expression suddenly became quite disappointed. After hesitating for a moment, he looked up at Feng Haidong and said, "Boss, I... I've really changed. I'll definitely steal again."
Seeing Song Rui's expression, Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Alright, stop it. Dayong was just joking with you. We all know you won't steal anymore. As the old saying goes, 'To err is human, to forgive divine.' From now on, study hard."
Song Rui nodded and said, "Boss, Uncle Haidong, I will definitely learn well."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone pack up, we're going to lock up and go home. Anyone want to learn how to cook crayfish tomorrow afternoon? Come over early after lunch, or I won't wait for you."
Everyone in the restaurant immediately agreed, and then they all left the restaurant, locked the door, and went home.
