Crackle, crackle.
The festive sound of firecrackers echoed throughout.
Feng Haidong's store in the provincial capital has finally officially opened.
On the day of the opening, many people came to the store at noon, and various flower baskets were placed at the entrance to congratulate them.
Among the gifts were those from Feng Haidong's three cousins and their husbands' colleagues, as well as friends of Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling who came from their homes.
To Feng Haidong's surprise, Lu Yaobin actually drove over, bringing his older brother Lu Yaorong and younger sister Lu Wanhong with him.
Gao Yongcheng, whom Tang Anguo met in the provincial capital, also brought some people to support Feng Haidong.
The middle-aged man who rented the shop next door to Feng Haidong couldn't help but sigh as he watched the bustling opening of Feng Haidong's business.
"I really didn't expect that Feng Haidong, who came from out of town, would have so many people supporting him by opening a shop in the provincial capital. It even seems that quite a few of them are locals. Just who is Feng Haidong?"
Feng Haidong greeted the customers who had come to support him, bringing out his signature grilled fish and spicy crab.
As plates of grilled fish are served, bowls of spicy crab follow.
This surprised many of the colleagues of the three cousins and their husbands in the provincial capital.
My third cousin, Liu Fenlin, and some of her colleagues at the hospital were all surprised when they saw the grilled fish on the table.
"Liu Fenlin, is this the signature grilled fish from your brother's shop?"
"It smells wonderful."
"It looks just like the grilled fish I've heard about. I wonder what it tastes like?"
Liu Fenlin smiled and said to her colleagues, "Everyone, give it a try. We have to go to work this afternoon, so we won't drink any alcohol, but you really have to try my brother's grilled fish."
Colleagues laughed and said that seeing such delicious grilled fish, they definitely had to try it.
Once the grilled fish on the plate was steaming hot from the bottom, Liu Fenlin held up a chopstick and let her colleagues try it.
At almost the same time, guests at other tables also began to enjoy the grilled fish on their respective tables.
When the tender fish meat is dipped in the rich broth and enters the mouth...
It instantly amazed the guests who came to support the event at noon.
"Wow, this grilled fish tastes really good."
"It has no fishy smell at all, and it tastes really good."
"And there are no bones. These pieces of meat look as white and tender as garlic cloves."
"The soup here tastes so good, it clings to the fish and makes it so delicious that you can't stop eating it."
Hearing everyone's praise, Feng Haidong's three cousins and their husbands all had big smiles on their faces.
This shows that everyone can accept Feng Haidong's grilled fish.
Tang Anguo and Lu Feng were responsible for hosting Gao Yongcheng's table.
After eating, Gao Yongcheng gave Tang Anguo a thumbs up and said, "Brother Tang, Feng Haidong's grilled fish is really delicious. Even though I don't eat fish often, I can't stop eating it."
Tang Anguo said with a smile, "Haidong's grilled fish is indeed a specialty. It's very famous in our area. On holidays, there are always long queues at his restaurant."
Gao Yongcheng said, "Amazing, Haidong's craftsmanship is truly amazing."
Lu Feng said, "My brother-in-law developed this skill on his own. There are many flavors to choose from for grilled fish, and every seasoning he uses is excellent."
Zhang Jianqiang said as he ate, "It's really delicious."
Gao Yongcheng laughed and said, "Jianqiang, is there any way you can eat like that? Can't you eat less?"
Zhang Jianqiang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Gao Yongcheng. He saw that Gao Yongcheng had told him to eat less, but Gao Yongcheng did not slow down his eating speed at all.
Zhang Jianqiang immediately said, "Brother Cheng, you told me to eat less, but you didn't eat any less yourself!"
Tang Anguo, Lu Feng, and the others at the table couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.
In the kitchen, Feng Haidong said to his older cousin and brother-in-law, "Big sister, you and brother-in-law go out and greet your friends. Song Rui and I will take care of things here."
Liu Fenzhen immediately said, "It's okay, Ma Ling and Ma Ming are outside."
Feng Haidong said, "Sister, there are some of your and your brother-in-law's colleagues and friends outside. Go and greet them. They came for you and your brother-in-law, so you should at least go and say hello."
Ma Bangcheng said, "Hai Dong is right. Our colleagues came here because of us, so we still have to go and see them."
Liu Fenzhen was finally persuaded, put down her work, and went out with her husband.
After Feng Haidong and his older cousin and brother-in-law left, he asked Song Rui, who was still in the kitchen, "Are there still a few tables outside that haven't had their fish served yet?"
Song Rui took the list, glanced at it, and said, "The fish has been served to all the relatives and friends who came to support us. There are three tables here that seem to be guests we don't know, who came specifically to try the food."
Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Okay, then let's serve these three tables first. If there are any new orders outside, ask the waiter to tell them that we need to wait."
Song Rui agreed: "Okay."
Feng Haidong turned up the fire on the stove and began to speed up the grilling of fish for the three tables of out-of-town guests.
Liu Fenzhen and Ma Bangcheng worked in the same factory, so when they came out to greet their colleagues, most of the colleagues knew the couple.
When the couple came out, their colleagues all gave them a thumbs up in praise.
"Da Zhen, the grilled fish in your shop tastes really good."
"Old Ma, I really didn't expect you two to open a shop across the pedestrian street. The rent here must be expensive, right?"
"The key is that the decoration of your store is also very good, and your grilled fish is so delicious."
...
Hearing her colleagues' praise, Liu Fenzhen smiled and said, "This shop isn't owned by my husband and me. Where would we get so much money to open a shop? Besides, neither of us knows how to make grilled fish."
Ma Bangcheng added, "This shop is owned by Da Zhen's younger brother, so we're helping out here."
Liu Fenzhen immediately said, "Although it's my brother's shop, everyone should come and support us often in the future."
Hearing Liu Fenzhen's words, her colleagues in the factory were all somewhat surprised.
"Dazhen, is your brother really that capable? I've never heard you mention him before."
"Yes, we all only know that you, Dazhen, have two sisters. How come you also have a younger brother?"
"Yes, Sister Liu, when did you have a younger brother?"
...
Hearing her colleagues' surprise at her younger brother's situation, Liu Fenzhen smiled and said, "This younger brother is from my aunt's family. Although he is my cousin, we are like siblings. Later, he went back to my aunt's hometown with my aunt and uncle. The factory where he worked wasn't doing well, so he started his own business."
Liu Fenzhen's colleagues were all very surprised after hearing her story.
The colleagues and friends of Feng Haidong's other two cousins were equally surprised when they found out.
At that moment, the colleagues and friends of the three cousins and their husbands began to have some different opinions about the three families.
In the days that followed, Feng Haidong's store gained a reputation in the provincial capital.
The opinions of the three cousins' colleagues and friends regarding their three families have changed repeatedly.
