The business reopened on the first day after the Lunar New Year holiday, and it was a great start.
We were busy until 10:30 p.m., and the restaurant was almost completely cleaned up.
Feng Haidong told the waiters to go home first.
He, Yang Chengjian, and Chen Zhiyong stayed until the very end.
Feng Haidong also told his sister-in-law, Lu Wanhong, to go home and rest first.
After everyone else had left, Feng Haidong spoke earnestly to Yang Chengjian and Chen Zhiyong.
"Today we have had a great start after the New Year. We want to thank our relatives and friends for their support. In the future, when I am not around, you can give them a discount, such as rounding down the price. But please remember, never refuse to accept their money."
Yang Chengjian, Chen Zhiyong and others were somewhat surprised by Feng Haidong's words.
Looking at the group of people, Feng Haidong continued, "For the rest of this year, I will definitely continue to focus on the provincial capital. After all, the expenses for the store there are considerable, and I hope that the business there will be successful so that I can pay off the loan as soon as possible, so that I don't have to rely solely on the family restaurant."
"At that time, I can also give you all a larger share of the profits, since the family restaurant will depend on you all to keep it running."
Yang Chengjian said, "Brother Feng, you don't need to give us any more dividends. You're already giving us a lot, and you don't let us share the costs with you. We're practically just getting money."
Dong Xia said, "Yes, Brother Feng, we've already made quite a bit of money, and you need to pay off your loan. You should also use the money from the family restaurant to pay off the loan faster."
Chen Zhiyong said, "Uncle Dong, my mom scolded me for giving me a year-end bonus. She said I brought Liu Fang and Yongyan to work for you and get paid, but I'm also taking your bonus. She said I shouldn't take so much money. If you give me more, my mom definitely won't let me take it. This is already quite a lot."
Seeing that everyone was postponing, Feng Haidong couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you all doing? Isn't making money good enough? And you're delaying payment?"
Feng Haidong said with a serious face, "I'm telling you, you must keep this money for me. Xiao Yang and Xiao Dong, you need to buy your own house so that your Xixi can have a better life. All of this requires money."
Then, Feng Haidong looked at Chen Zhiyong and said, "Dayong, are you and Yongyan getting married soon? You said that after you get married to Yongyan, you need to have your own career, otherwise how will you support your family? You can't go back to your mother's place and set up a stall with her, can you? So you two need to keep the money too."
At this moment, Liu Fang couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Dong, what about me?"
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "You? You'll definitely get a bonus too. I'll give you the money as your dowry later."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiyong couldn't help but say, "I think we should just forget about it. Someone like Liu Fang might not be able to get married in the future."
Liu Fang was immediately displeased and raised her hand to slap Chen Zhiyong.
Zhang Yongyan, who was standing nearby, also said, "How could you say that about your sister?"
Feng Haidong shook his head and said, "Dayong, you should apologize to your sister right now. How can you talk to your sister like that? Liu Fang is so beautiful, she will definitely find a good man in the future."
Liu Fang said, "That's right, Uncle Dong is right."
Left with no other choice, Chen Zhiyong could only obediently apologize to his sister.
After a bit of playful banter, Feng Haidong said seriously, "I'm going back to the provincial capital tomorrow. From now on, the family business will depend on you guys."
Yang Chengjian and Chen Zhiyong agreed in unison, promising to run the restaurant well.
Afterwards, everyone closed the door, and since it was on their way home, they all walked together.
On my way home, I passed by the night market and saw many people still busy at the food stalls.
Yang Chengjian asked, "Brother Feng, could we extend our business hours a bit later? I think there are quite a lot of people eating out at night now, so we could stay open until one or two in the morning."
Feng Haidong thought for a moment and said, "Don't stay up so late. It's not safe for everyone to go home so late."
Chen Zhiyong immediately said, "It's alright, Uncle Dong. I can take everyone home tonight."
Yang Chengjian said, "Yes, we have quite a few men in our shop. We can leave together after closing time tonight and send the women home first. That way, it shouldn't be too unsafe."
Chen Zhiyong chimed in, "Yes, yes, we can send the woman back first."
Feng Haidong noticed that Yang Chengjian, Chen Zhiyong, and others wanted to postpone the business hours.
He felt that since the restaurant was being handed over to them to run, their ideas should be respected.
"Okay, but don't go too late yet, around 10:30 or 11:00 is fine, because it's still quite cold now, so we can't go too late."
Once the weather gets warmer, you can postpone it a little longer.
But please remember, don't stay up too late, and always be careful.
Seeing that Feng Haidong had agreed, Yang Chengjian and Chen Zhiyong naturally also promised to be careful.
Feng Haidong returned home and did some accounting by himself.
After calculating the costs, Feng Haidong still felt some pressure.
After all, the loan has to be repaid every month.
Even after the Lunar New Year, business is good for both family restaurants and shops in the provincial capital.
However, there are still many challenges ahead.
Feng Haidong had no intention of stopping there.
He needs to do more to run the store well before he will have the capacity to do other things.
