Feng Haidong led the children out of the market, got on his bicycle, and took them home.
On the way, we unexpectedly passed by the grilled fish restaurant owned by Duan Jian.
Feng Haidong saw it from afar and had no intention of going up to check it out.
But Lu Yue, who was sitting on the crossbar of the bicycle in front, had just finished throwing a box of firecrackers. When she looked up, she saw the sign of the grilled fish restaurant on the side of the road.
Upon seeing the sign, Lu Yue immediately wiggled her little body, stretched out her little hand, and gently touched her uncle's chin, calling out.
"Uncle, Uncle, look over there, there's another grilled fish restaurant over there."
Lu Yue had been in the provincial capital for a while and had learned a lot of characters from Yue Rujuan.
In particular, Yue Rujuan knew that her uncle Feng Haidong was going to open a grilled fish restaurant, so she specifically taught Lu Yue the two words "grilled fish".
So when Lu Yue saw a grilled fish sign on the roadside, she immediately became very excited.
Hearing his sister calling, Feng Qifan, who was sitting in the back seat, also turned his head to look around.
"Where is it? Where is it?"
Lu Yue pointed her little finger to the roadside and shouted, "Brother, look! It's over there, over there!"
Because their father was between Feng Qifan and his sister, he couldn't see the direction his sister was pointing. However, he did manage to search for a while and found the sign for the grilled fish restaurant.
“I saw it, on Dad’s right side.”
Lu Yue raised her little head and said, "Uncle, let's go take a look."
Feng Haidong asked, "Why do we need to come over? That's not our shop."
Lu Yue said, "It's not ours? Does that mean we can't look at it?"
Feng Haidong couldn't help but laugh at his niece's words.
Just then, Feng Haidong saw Duan Jian walking out of the store.
As Duan Jian went out, he also saw Feng Haidong.
Duan Jian was genuinely surprised to see Feng Haidong riding a bicycle with two children.
When Feng Haidong saw Duan Jian appear at the door, he simply agreed to his little niece's request: "Alright, let's go over and see what's different about their grilled fish restaurant compared to ours."
Lu Yue immediately laughed happily: "Hehehe, Brother Fanfan, let's take a good look together."
Feng Qifan replied from behind, "Okay, let's watch carefully."
Feng Haidong rode his bicycle to the side of the road and finally stopped directly in front of Duan Jian.
Duan Jian was momentarily at a loss. When he saw Feng Haidong appear, he thought that Feng Haidong was just passing by and wouldn't stop when he saw him.
To my utter surprise, Feng Haidong actually rode his bicycle over.
As Feng Haidong approached the entrance of Duan Jian's grilled fish restaurant, he picked up his little niece and waited for his son to jump off the bicycle before getting off himself.
"Boss Duan, it's been a long time."
Hearing Feng Haidong greet him, Duan Jian finally snapped out of his panic.
Feng Qifan held his little sister's hand and said, "I know him. He's Uncle Duan from Dad's shop."
Lu Yue sized up Duan Jian and quietly asked the older brother beside her, "Why isn't Uncle Duan at Uncle's shop anymore?"
Feng Qifan glanced at Duan Jian, then at the grilled fish restaurant behind him. Remembering his father's earlier address, he immediately said to his sister, "I know, he left Dad's restaurant and opened his own grilled fish restaurant."
After listening, Lu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Oh, does that mean he's stealing business from my uncle? He's a bad person."
Duan Jian had just come to his senses and was about to respond to Feng Haidong.
But I overheard the conversation between the two children.
Especially when I heard the little girl say at the end that she was a "bad person".
This really made Duan Jian a little unable to hold back.
Feng Haidong quickly said, "I'm sorry, children often speak without thinking."
After apologizing to Duan Jian, Feng Haidong said to his niece, "Yueyue, you can't talk about people like that. Uncle Duan just doesn't want to work at your uncle's shop anymore and wants to open his own. He's not a bad person."
Despite what her uncle-in-law said, Lu Yue still found Duan Jian very agreeable.
After calming the child down, Feng Haidong looked up and greeted Duan Jian with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Duan, the child is just being silly, please don't mind him."
Duan Jian finally came to his senses again. Now, several months later, facing Feng Haidong face to face again, Duan Jian really felt a little embarrassed.
Back then, Feng Haidong taught Duan Jian his techniques for grilling fish without reservation.
However, after Feng Haidong returned, Duan Jian took the initiative to leave his restaurant.
Later, he even partnered with others to open this grilled fish restaurant, which can be seen as a clear challenge to Feng Haidong.
As the saying goes, those in the same trade are enemies, so meeting like this is indeed very inappropriate.
Moreover, the restaurant that Duan Jian co-founded has yet to surpass Feng Haidong's establishment.
Even when Feng Haidong was away opening a new store in the provincial capital, Duan Jian and his team were still unable to turn the situation around. In fact, Duan Jian's store even lost money in January.
The situation is the same as the restaurant owned by Feng Haidong's family.
From November to early December, the stock market's soaring performance led many people who made money from stock trading to boost restaurant consumption.
Especially after Mei Yaqin, Lu Yaorong and their group praised Feng Haidong's grilled fish, it became so popular that whenever someone's stock price soared, they would go to the grilled fish restaurant to eat grilled fish.
Naturally, Feng Haidong's restaurant couldn't possibly accommodate that many people.
Duan Jian's shop and another newly opened grilled fish shop both benefited from the success.
During that period, Duan Jian once felt that it was definitely not a problem for his restaurant to surpass Feng Haidong's restaurant.
