Before taking his son back to the city, Feng Haidong took a day off to take his son and niece on a trip around the villages surrounding the town with his wife.
On this day, Feng Haidong took his wife and children on a tour of the various villages.
We went hiking together and also went boating on the river.
Finally, Feng Haidong even took his wife and children to set up a clay stove by the river, caught all kinds of fish and shrimp from the river, and cooked a grilled fish meal for his wife and children right there by the river.
Lu Wanling and her two children found the grilled fish made by Feng Haidong to be delicious.
Seeing that his wife and children enjoyed the food, Feng Haidong asked with a smile, "Do you think it would be popular if I put this grilled fish in our family's crayfish restaurant?"
Hearing her husband say this, Lu Wanling asked in surprise, "Are you planning to add new dishes to your crayfish restaurant?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Yes, it's almost September now, and the crayfish season will gradually come to an end. Our restaurant will have to come up with some new things after that."
Lu Wanling nodded and said, "That's true. When the third brother came to town before, he also told me that the business of crayfish restaurants is not very good now. On the one hand, many people may be getting tired of eating it, and on the other hand, there are more and more restaurants serving crayfish in the city."
Feng Haidong said, "Yes, I had actually thought of these things before, but I hadn't figured out what new thing to use to replace crayfish."
Lu Wanling looked at the grilled fish that her husband had grilled on the earthen stove, and then put into a pot with seasonings to cook.
The aroma of grilled fish filled the air, and I could see that my son and niece both enjoyed it.
Lu Wanling said, "Hmm, this grilled fish should be okay. Nobody here has made it like this before."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "This way of cooking grilled fish is more popular in Sichuan and Chongqing. I saw it when I went out with my brother-in-law, so I made some improvements."

Hearing her husband's words, Lu Wanling smiled and said, "It seems you really learned a lot on this trip."
Feng Haidong said confidently, "Of course, and in addition to grilled fish, I plan to add some grilled meat to our restaurant, as well as all kinds of grilled skewers."
Lu Wanling asked curiously, "Barbecue skewers? Are you talking about lamb skewers?"
Feng Haidong said, "It's not just about grilled lamb skewers; you can also add other skewers, such as vegetables or dried tofu."
Lu Wanling was somewhat surprised: "Can those be baked too?"
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Of course, I'll try it at our restaurant when I get back. Then I'll bring my son back on the weekend and make it especially for you and Yueyue to try."
Hearing her husband say this, Lu Wanling thought about it seriously for a moment, and suddenly said, "How come I suddenly realized that you are so knowledgeable about food now?"
Feng Haidong was taken aback at first, then smiled and asked, "Really?"
Lu Wanling turned to her son and niece and asked, "Do you think Dad and Uncle are eating a lot these days?"
Without hesitation, Feng Qifan and Lu Yue answered in unison, "Yes."
When Feng Haidong heard his son and niece say this, he stood up with a smile and said, "There's nothing I can do. I've discovered that food is the most important thing for people. Studying food is a very interesting thing. In the future, I will study more delicious food so that you can taste the delicacies from all over the country."
Feng Qifan said, "Great! Dad, you can take us to eat all over the country in the future."
Hearing her son's words, Lu Wanling laughed and said, "You little rascal, you're starting to think about food just like your father, aren't you?"
Lu Yue leaned close to her aunt and said, "Auntie, when you travel all over the country to eat delicious food, you must take Yueyue with you!"
Upon hearing her niece's words, Lu Wanling hugged her and said, "Of course! We'll have Uncle take us with us then, and we'll travel all over the country to eat all kinds of delicious food, okay?"
Lu Yue immediately cheered, "Okay, I'll go with my aunt, uncle, and brother."
Seeing the children cheering with joy, Lu Wanling looked at her husband, her heart filled with anticipation for his plans for the future.
Feng Haidong continued to cook grilled fish for the children on the earthen stove.
While cooking, she said, "I'm not fully prepared today. I'll go back and research it, and bring back the ingredients to make you grilled fish again. We can eat it together with Grandpa and Grandma."
Hearing her husband's words, Lu Wanling asked with some curiosity, "How else do you plan to cook this grilled fish?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "My idea is to grill the fish first, then add broth and stew it. When serving, let the guests eat the grilled fish first. After they finish the grilled fish, you can add some broth and other vegetables to it, and eat it like a hot pot."
After listening to her husband's idea, Lu Wanling nodded and said, "That's quite a novel way to eat it."
Feng Haidong said, "Actually, it's not just grilled fish. When the weather gets colder, we can also add mutton hot pot. I heard that there is a kind of mutton spine hot pot in the north, and I will introduce it to the north when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanling asked curiously, "Lamb spine? What's that?"
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Actually, it's just the spine of a sheep. After most of the meat is removed from the sheep's spine, each segment looks like a scorpion, so it's called a sheep scorpion."
At this moment, Feng Haidong couldn't help but start reminiscing about some of the delicacies from his previous life.
