The busy lunchtime continued until after 3 p.m., when Feng Haidong's restaurant finally ran out of customers.
However, Feng Haidong and his team, who had been busy all noon, could not rest for the time being; they still needed to clean the restaurant inside and out.
Even Feng Haidong himself needed to clean up the kitchen.
After everything was cleaned up, Feng Haidong invited everyone to sit down and rest in the restaurant.
"Thank you all for your hard work today. I didn't expect so many people to come at noon on National Day."
Liu Fang looked tired, but she was still very excited: "Uncle Dong, our business today at noon feels better than several nights in a row."
Chen Zhiyong said with a smile, "Of course! Isn't today National Day? Many people from other districts around here are coming to visit, and they'll definitely need to find a place to eat at noon. With Uncle Dong's restaurant's reputation, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to try it out."
Zhang Yongyan said, "But there are so many people at noon today, it's really exaggerated."
Yang Chengjian smiled and said, "It shows that Brother Feng's cooking skills are good, and everyone recognizes the taste of Brother Feng's grilled fish."
Song Rui immediately said, "Many people ordered spicy crab at noon today."
Lu Wanling came out from behind the cashier and said, "Yes, quite a few people ordered spicy crab. It seems that everyone can accept the taste of spicy crab."
After listening to everyone's words, Feng Haidong smiled and said, "We should have let everyone try the spicy crab first, but since we couldn't get any crabs for the Mid-Autumn Festival, we decided to serve it directly for the National Day holiday. After we finish these two days of work, I will make a special spicy crab dish for everyone to try."
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered, especially the waiters in the restaurant who were particularly excited.
After all, seeing the guests enjoying their food, they were naturally curious about how it tasted.
Lu Wanling said with a smile, "I'm afraid we'll be busy for another two or three days. Many people left today without getting a turn, and I guess they'll definitely have to come back tonight or tomorrow."
Hearing this, Dong Xia smiled and said, "Isn't that great? Everyone can take turns, and the restaurant's business will always be good."
Feng Haidong remained relatively calm about this: "Whether it can stay good or not depends on the feedback from everyone after the National Day holiday. After all, we had activities during the National Day holiday, with unlimited beer and soft drinks, which is why so many people came."
Chen Zhiyong suddenly spoke up: "Uncle Dong, since we've already attracted customers, why don't we skip the all-you-can-drink event tonight?"
This statement was agreed upon by most people present, especially the waiters, who felt that the all-you-can-drink promotion could be discontinued.
Judging from the situation at noon, many people, knowing that beer and soda were all-you-can-drink, didn't even want the free liquor offered at a discount.
That noon, I drank quite a lot of beer and soda.
If Feng Haidong hadn't specifically sought out breweries and soda factories, and obtained beer and soda at very low prices, he probably would have lost a lot of money that noon.
So Chen Zhiyong and the waiters felt that since they had already attracted people, they might as well not offer unlimited drinks.
After hearing this, Feng Haidong shook his head and said, "The all-you-can-drink promotion should continue. It's about our reputation. Since our previous advertisements and flyers all say that the all-you-can-drink and beverage discount is for three days, then we should continue for three days."
Seeing that everyone was still a little worried, Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's only three days. How much money can we lose? But as long as we build up our reputation, after the National Day holiday, our grilled fish will be recognized by everyone, and people will think of our family when they think of grilled fish."
In business, it's about long-term sustainability. We can't just focus on short-term gains and losses; we need to take a long-term view. This is an opportunity for us to build our reputation and brand.
After careful consideration of Feng Haidong's words, everyone felt that what he said made sense.
Lu Wanling smiled and said, "Your boss is right. We need to take a long-term view and not just focus on the small gains and losses in front of us. Once our grilled fish becomes famous, will we still be afraid of not having customers? Will we still be afraid of not making money?"
Upon hearing his wife's words, Feng Haidong couldn't help but feel that he and his wife were becoming more and more compatible.
Many of his ideas might not be acceptable to others, but his wife always understands them and is very supportive of him.
Looking back on his past life, Feng Haidong realized that perhaps he had simply failed to notice these things.
Looking back on his past life, he can't help but feel that his wife in that life was very supportive of him in many ways.
It was only because he had a problem with his mindset in his past life that he was unable to let go of certain things, which is why he didn't notice the compatibility between himself and his wife.
Now that he has realized this, Feng Haidong feels that he should love his wife even more.
Feng Haidong then said to everyone, "During this National Day holiday, everyone should work hard. After the holiday, we will give everyone a bonus as a reward for your hard work during the holiday."
Hearing that there would be a bonus naturally filled everyone with anticipation.
Even the physical hardship seemed to gradually disappear at this moment.
Feng Haidong told everyone to rest first, and then he went to the backyard to count the remaining fish. He then selected a batch and carried them in himself, putting them into the fish tank in front.
Seeing that Feng Haidong was working alone, Yang Chengjian, Chen Zhiyong, and Song Rui all got up to help.
However, Feng Haidong stopped him.
"You all get some rest. I can handle this little bit of work myself. You'll have plenty to do tonight."
Yang Chengjian said, "Brother Feng, let's help each other out and finish this as soon as possible so you can rest with us."
Feng Haidong said, "Really, there's no need. You all need to rest more. I'm not busy in the kitchen at night, so I can continue to rest there. But when you have guests at night, you won't have time to rest."

Chen Zhiyong said, "Uncle Dong, I'm not tired, let me do it."
Song Rui quickly added, "Yes, yes, I'm not tired either."
Feng Haidong said, "Alright, alright, you two sit down and rest. You two were the busiest at noon, and you'll have to continue helping people pick and weigh fish tonight. It's all hard work, so you two should get a good rest."
Before the two could speak, Lu Wanling said, "Dayong, you two sit down and listen to your uncle."
Feng Haidong added, "Yes, listen to your aunt and sit down to rest."
Seeing that Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling both said this, Chen Zhiyong and Song Rui had no choice but to sit down, and Yang Chengjian was also pressed down to sit by Feng Haidong.
So everyone rested together, watching Feng Haidong prepare the fish himself.
Actually, it wasn't very strenuous. Feng Haidong worked little by little, which took a lot of time, but it didn't make him feel very tired.
After placing fish in the fish tank in front, Feng Haidong sat down next to his wife.
A group of people sat in the restaurant, resting and waiting for the next wave of customers to arrive in the evening.
