Feng Haidong left his wife's workplace, rode his bicycle to his restaurant.
Just then, the person who was delivering shrimp to him arrived at the door.
To Feng Haidong's surprise, Liang Cong was also with him on this shrimp delivery truck, in addition to Feng Baoan.
Seeing that Liang Cong had also come along, Feng Haidong quickly greeted him: "Little Liang, you came too? I was just saying I'd go back in the next couple of days and bring you over to see us."
When Liang Cong met Feng Haidong and looked at Feng Haidong's restaurant, he was very surprised.
"Brother Haidong, you didn't tell me you owned such a big restaurant in the city?"
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "What kind of big restaurant is this? This is just a crayfish restaurant."
Liang Cong said, "Brother Haidong, I asked Uncle Bao'an on the way here, and he told me that your restaurant is the first crayfish restaurant in your area, and you have almost unified the local crayfish market."
Upon hearing Liang Cong's words, Feng Haidong looked at Feng Baoan and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, Uncle Bao'an, why are you saying that to Liang Cong? You're exaggerating too much. How could I possibly dominate the local crayfish market?"
Feng Baoan said with a smile, "Haidong, don't be modest. I know that your crayfish restaurant is the most recognized in our area. Many people in our town know about your restaurant, so you can indeed be considered to have unified the crayfish restaurant scene in our area."
Feng Haidong said, "Uncle Bao'an, you're really flattering me. If you say my restaurant is the first in the city, that's for sure, but to say I can dominate the crayfish business in the city? I definitely can't do that."
Then Feng Haidong said, "Right now, crayfish from other places haven't come in yet because of transportation issues. But once transportation is no longer an issue and crayfish from other places come in, they will definitely impact the current market, and my restaurant won't have much of an advantage anymore."
Liang Cong said, "But Brother Haidong, even if crayfish from other places come in, your restaurant will still be the most famous in your area. People will still appreciate your taste more, so your restaurant's business will definitely not be bad."
Besides, when crayfish from other places flood in, your costs will decrease, and you'll definitely make more money, Haidong.
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "It's hard to say whether it will be more profitable. Don't forget, crayfish are seasonal. They don't taste as good after the season. They can only be sold for a few months a year. What do you do the rest of the time?"
This question stumped both Liang Cong and Feng Baoan.
Liang Cong thought for a moment and said, "That really is a problem. Crayfish are too seasonal."
However, Liang Cong quickly added, "But if the timing is right, the crayfish season will be over, and it will be crab season. Hai Dong, you can sell crabs."
Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Crabs are indeed a good choice, but crabs are also seasonal."
Thinking of the things he brought in the car today, Liang Cong immediately said, "Haha, I know, Brother Haidong, the thing you're looking for that can be made all year round must be grilled fish."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Grilled fish counts as one, but I've had some other ideas lately."
Liang Cong immediately said, "Brother Haidong, I've brought you a surprise today."
Feng Haidong couldn't help but ask curiously, "You brought a surprise? What surprise?"
Liang Cong and Feng Baoan exchanged a glance, then Liang Cong pointed to the back of the truck and said, "Of course, we brought you some fish today, Brother Haidong. As you requested, we brought you bass and black carp."
Feng Baoan added, "We also brought some crucian carp."
Feng Haidong immediately exclaimed happily, "Really? That's wonderful!"
As he spoke, Feng Haidong went to the back of the car and took a look.
Sure enough, they brought several different kinds of fish, each contained in a separate water tank.
When Feng Haidong saw the fish, he smiled and said, "Great, that's wonderful. Since the fish have been delivered, let's cook a grilled fish feast for everyone tonight to treat you all."
Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and different reading voices. The .huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.
Feng Baoan asked with some curiosity, "Haidong, you mentioned making grilled fish before. How do you eat the fish after it's grilled?"
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll cook it for everyone tonight, and you can all have a good taste."
Liang Cong immediately said, "I must try Hai Dong's cooking tonight."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "No problem. Everyone stay for lunch. I'll go to the restaurant and order some dishes to be delivered. We'll have a big meal for you all tonight."
Liang Cong readily agreed.
Feng Baoan felt that having Liang Cong around was really quite interesting.
Normally, when Feng Baoan comes to deliver shrimp, he doesn't really interact much with Feng Haidong.
We just chat occasionally about things in the town and the village.
Unlike today, when Liang Cong came, he and Feng Haidong had a lot to talk about.
Next, everyone worked together to unload the shrimp and fish from the truck.
They were all sent to the back yard.
Instead of immediately sorting the crayfish, Feng Haidong went to a nearby hotel and ordered a table full of dishes to be delivered.
Just as they returned after ordering the food, Yang Chengjian and the others arrived one after another.
Feng Haidong introduced Liang Cong to Yang Chengjian and the others.
Yang Chengjian and the others knew that Liang Cong was a breeding expert invited back by Feng Haidong, and they all admired Liang Cong for his knowledge of breeding techniques at such a young age.
After Feng Haidong introduced everyone, he asked Yang Chengjian to help greet them while he rode his bicycle to pick up Feng Qifan and Yang Xiaoxi from school.
Feng Haidong brought Feng Qifan and Yang Xiaoxi back together.
When Feng Qifan saw Liang Cong, he pulled Yang Xiaoxi aside and introduced her to him.
"Xixi, this is Uncle Liang."
Liang Cong smiled and greeted Feng Qifan and Yang Xiaoxi.
Yang Xiaoxi looked Liang Cong up and down, somewhat surprised: "Brother Fanfan, didn't you say Uncle Liang is a scientist who raises crayfish? How come Uncle Liang is so young? Shouldn't scientists be old men?"
Upon hearing Yang Xiaoxi's words, Yang Chengjian said, "Hahaha, who told you that scientists are all old men? Your Uncle Liang can be a scientist too, he doesn't necessarily have to be an old man."
Liang Cong quickly said, "No, no, no, I wouldn't dare call myself a scientist. I'm actually still a student, and I'm learning right now."
Liang Cong then earnestly explained to the two children, "I can't be considered a scientist. Your uncle should now be called a researcher, yes, an aquaculture researcher, and like you, a student."
Feng Qifan and Yang Xiaoxi nodded to indicate that they understood.
Feng Haidong continued, "Alright, alright, everyone, let's get ready to eat. We can talk about anything while we eat."
Everyone sat down together and started eating and chatting.
Liang Cong talked a lot about aquaculture, which Yang Chengjian and Chen Zhiyong found very interesting.
A lunch helped Liang Cong get to know everyone.
Yang Chengjian and Chen Zhiyong also admired Liang Cong, because they knew that although he was young, he had real skills.
