After seeing off his brother-in-law, everyone at Feng Haidong's shop got busy.
In the afternoon, while the two brothers-in-law went to rest after drinking too much, Feng Haidong and Song Rui diligently taught everyone how to clean crayfish in the store.
After practicing in the afternoon, several male waiters, including Ma Ming, the son of the eldest cousin, had mastered the skills.
Although the speed wasn't very fast, we mastered the techniques and had a lot of manpower, so cleaning the crayfish was actually quite smooth.
Men, in particular, are generally stronger, so as long as they overcome their fear, they are not afraid of getting hurt.
Feng Haidong didn't ask everyone to process the crayfish first. He still hoped that customers would come to the store and see that their crayfish were alive, just like the grilled fish in the store were all freshly killed live fish.
As darkness gradually fell, customers began to arrive at the store one after another.
Liu Fenzhen and her daughter Ma Ling, along with the waiters, recommended crayfish to customers who came to the restaurant.
At first, many customers were hesitant, feeling somewhat intimidated by the sight of the crayfish waving their claws in the fish tank.
However, due to the strong recommendation from Liu Fenzhen and Ma Ling along with the waiters.
And everyone said they had eaten it for lunch, guaranteeing that the crayfish would taste great.
One or two tables of customers ordered a serving of crayfish, saying they wanted to try it.
Finally, someone was willing to order crayfish, which made Liu Fenzhen and her daughter Ma Ling extremely happy.
Feng Haidong had seen it all, and he knew very well that there weren't many people eating crayfish in his area right now.
So it's normal that many people are unwilling to order crayfish when they first see it.
Moreover, precisely because people haven't started eating crayfish yet, Feng Haidong believes this is the best business opportunity.
After the crayfish are weighed, they are sent to the kitchen for processing along with the weighed fish.
Feng Haidong personally processed the fish, while Song Rui and his cousin-in-law led everyone to process the crayfish.
Fortunately, the crayfish don't need to be separated; you can cut them into several portions all at once.
After cleaning the fish, Feng Haidong prepared the grilled fish.
Then, after the crayfish were cleaned out, Feng Haidong started to stir-fry them.
Although it does seem a bit cramped, guests generally won't have to wait long.
The few people responsible for cleaning the crayfish did seem to be working quite hard.
Seeing this, Feng Haidong couldn't help but think that if his business really grew big in the future, he would need to hire people specifically to handle crayfish, just like he had seen in some videos in his previous life.
Of course, Feng Haidong could also do what some other shops in his previous life did: not cut off the shrimp heads and remove the shrimp veins, but simply put the crayfish in the pot and cook them all at once before serving them to the customers.
This is the cooking method used in many crayfish restaurants.
This saves more time and requires less manpower.
However, Feng Haidong did not want to do that. He still hoped that his store would become a unique brand with its own set of standards in the future.
Two servings of crayfish, one with beer and spicy sauce, and the other with golden broth and garlic sauce.
When the two servings of crayfish were brought out of the kitchen, the aroma immediately attracted the attention of many customers.
The customers at the two tables who had ordered crayfish were immediately delighted when they saw the bright red crayfish being served.
"It smells so good."
"Yes, this smells really good."
"And this shrimp looks delicious."
"No wonder it's called crayfish. When it's cooked and served, it really does look like a crayfish."
Have you ever seen a lobster?
"Yes, I've seen it. I've seen it on TV."
"This does look a lot like a lobster. I saw it in some restaurants by the sea when I was on a business trip in the south. Those big lobsters looked just like that when they were cooked."
The guests at both tables first admired the food, and then they couldn't wait to start eating.
However, some customers who have never tried it before don't quite understand how to eat it.
At this moment, Liu Fenzhen stepped forward and told the guests how to eat it.
"You have to peel off the shell of this crayfish and then eat the meat in the tail."
With Liu Fenzhen's explanation, the customers quickly learned how to eat it.
Then, the guests at both tables didn't stand on ceremony and started peeling the shrimp shells with their hands.
Soon, a customer peeled the shrimp and put it in their mouth.
Mixed with the broth, the shrimp meat is a delightful surprise for customers.
"Wow, this is delicious."
"Yes, yes, this is so delicious."
"Not only are the shrimp very fresh, but they are also bouncy and chewy. The key is that the soup is also very delicious."
"I definitely made the right choice. This is so delicious, it's just as good as grilled fish."
The two tables of guests quickly began to enjoy their meal, piling up shrimp shells on their tables, while the grilled fish they had ordered was left aside.
After finishing a plate of crayfish, the guests at both tables felt a little unsatisfied.
"It's really delicious. I never expected this shrimp to be so tasty."
"Yes, I never knew before that this kind of shrimp could taste so good."
"Actually, I've seen people eat this in other places before, but I thought it was a bit strange, so I didn't dare to try it. It's really delicious today."
"After eating crayfish, I don't even want to eat this grilled fish."
"Haha, you can't miss the grilled fish. Their grilled fish is amazing. Besides, eating crayfish alone isn't filling enough. Grilled fish is perfect to go with rice."
With two tables of guests taking the lead, other guests soon ordered crayfish as well.
As more and more people ordered, Feng Haidong and his team became increasingly busy in the kitchen.
Fortunately, we had enough manpower, so we managed to handle it.
Feng Haidong even took some time to teach a group of guests who didn't want rice how to cook noodles using the leftover broth from the crayfish.
When the guests at that table heard that noodles could be cooked in crayfish broth, they immediately asked to try it.
Feng Haidong took the crayfish broth into the kitchen and quickly brought back the cooked noodles, which were then soaked in the heated broth.
Once it was served, it once again amazed the guests at that table.
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Please feel free to eat. Our crayfish are all carefully cleaned. We cut off the heads and remove the veins from the tails, so the leftover broth can be used to cook noodles. Of course, it's best to cook noodles with the golden broth and garlic sauce."
Upon hearing this, a customer at the next table immediately said, "Boss, could we have a bowl of noodles too?"
It just so happened that the crayfish on this table were served in a golden broth with minced garlic, and Feng Haidong agreed with a smile.
That night, the crayfish that Fang Jianxing delivered were not sold out.
However, Feng Haidong's crayfish business has become quite famous.
Feng Haidong believes that soon his regular customers who used to eat grilled fish will know about it, and with their word spreading, his restaurant will definitely create a craze for eating crayfish in the provincial capital.
