After being busy for a while, Feng Haidong made a special trip over to toast Fan Mingqiang with two glasses of wine.
"Brother Fan, you came over with people and drinks as soon as you received my call. I, Feng Haidong, will definitely remember this kindness."
Fan Mingqiang smiled and said, "Haha, Haidong, I like your drive. I'm about ten years older than you. To be honest, when I was your age, I really didn't have your drive and courage."
After saying this, Fan Mingqiang clinked glasses with Feng Haidong and downed the first glass of wine.
Feng Haidong naturally drank the first cup with the other person.
Lu Yaobin quickly stood up and poured full glasses of water for Fan Mingqiang and his brother-in-law.
Fan Mingqiang continued, "The reason we came so quickly this time is that our factory has a batch of small bottles of gift wine, which we thought might be what your restaurant needs for its National Day promotion, so I asked Xiao Wang to deliver them to you."
"Firstly, I came to deliver wine, and secondly, I wanted to come specifically to see what Haidong's restaurant is really like. Is it as amazing as you told us?"
At this point, Fan Mingqiang laughed, and Feng Haidong and the others laughed along with him.
Feng Haidong asked with a smile, "Brother Fan, how's my restaurant? It's a bit small, but that's just the amount of money I have on hand. Once I make some money in the future, I'll definitely move to a bigger place."
Fan Mingqiang said, "Haidong, to tell you the truth, when Xiao Wang and I came over during the day, we gave you the wine. Xiao Wang drove me away, and in the car I told Xiao Wang that I felt you had exaggerated a bit before, and that you were too narrow-minded. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Wang if that's exactly what he said."
The driver, Xiao Wang, chuckled and said, "Boss Feng, that's exactly what our manager told me."
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Haha, no problem. Brother Fan is my elder brother, I can accept whatever he says."
Fan Mingqiang continued, "But brother really misjudged this time. When Xiao Wang and I arrived tonight, I was really surprised to see so many people in your restaurant, and there was even a queue at the door."
Driver Xiao Wang chimed in, "Yes, yes, Mr. Feng, I didn't expect your business to be so booming."
Before Feng Haidong could speak, Fan Mingqiang interrupted, "Haidong, I've eaten your grilled fish, crayfish, and all these side dishes. I have to admit, Haidong, your cooking skills are truly exceptional."
As he spoke, Fan Mingqiang gave Feng Haidong a thumbs up.
"Haidong, I have to admit, these dishes you served me, the grilled fish is the first time I've ever had it, the crayfish is the first time I've ever had it prepared like this, and these snacks to go with the drinks, Haidong, you really are something else."
Fan Mingqiang gave Feng Haidong a thumbs up again.
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "I'm glad you're satisfied with your meal, Brother Fan. Come on, let's have another one."
Fan Mingqiang laughed and raised his glass, saying, "Okay, let's have a drink."
After drinking his second glass of wine, Fan Mingqiang said with a grin to Liu Jianwu and Lu Yaobin at the same table, "Jianwu, Yaobin, you don't know, do you? Last time Haidong came to our area, during dinner, he deliberately made his brother-in-law drink for him. Haidong is really cunning."
Feng Haidong quickly said, "Last time I had no choice. Brother Fan brought so many people from the winery, how could I handle them? I could only let my brother-in-law take over, and my brother-in-law collapsed as soon as he got back."
Fan Mingqiang said, "Hahaha, one person can drink the equivalent of three people from our distillery and still not pass out. From now on, Haidong, if you bring your brother-in-law, we'll all have to avoid you."
Liu Jianwu and Lu Yaobin laughed along with them.
The atmosphere at this table was truly joyful and harmonious.
Taking the opportunity, Lu Yaobin raised his glass and said, "Brother Fan, I'd like to toast you too."
After the two clinked glasses and drank, Lu Yaobin said, "Let me tell you about the advertising signs. Our company is already working on them according to what I showed you before. Soon, Brother Fan, next time you come here, you'll see those advertising signs when you pass by my brother-in-law's hometown."
Fan Mingqiang was somewhat surprised: "So fast?"
Lu Yaobin said, "Yes, we are about to enter the 21st century, and nowadays we are pursuing speed."
Fan Mingqiang said, "That's right, speed is what we're pursuing now."
Fan Mingqiang ate a few more bites of food. Whether it was Feng Haidong's cold appetizers, grilled fish, or crayfish, he found them all very delicious and to his liking.
After eating for a while, Fan Mingqiang couldn't help but ask Feng Haidong, "Haidong, these dishes of yours taste really good. I think you could totally open a restaurant over there."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Brother Fan, I really can't go for the time being. My restaurant here needs me. Maybe I'll have to wait until later. Once I've really made the restaurant successful and accumulated some capital, I can consider opening a chain store in your area, Brother Fan."
Fan Mingqiang said, "Yes, yes, it's a chain store. Haidong, I really think your dishes are absolutely delicious. Opening a chain store would definitely be very popular."
Feng Haidong added, "Haha, thank you for the compliment, Brother Fan. Once I've established myself here and created a brand, I'll definitely open a chain store in your area."
Fan Mingqiang asked curiously, "Haidong, your business is doing so well now, but you haven't established yourself yet?"
Feng Haidong said in a low voice, "No, when I say 'establish a foothold,' I don't mean business. I've been thinking about how to standardize the recipe and simplify the production process so that it will be easier to promote and we can try to open a chain store."
Fan Mingqiang listened and thought about it carefully for a while.
Everyone else present also pondered the idea, and they couldn't help but think that Feng Haidong's idea was brilliant.
