When Feng Haidong and his wife returned with their three children, their parents' house naturally became very lively.
Especially when the three children are together, it truly brings smiles to the parents' faces.
At noon, my mother and eldest sister cooked together and made a lot of delicious food for everyone.
Everyone enjoyed the lunch very much.
Even Lu Yaobin drank a few glasses of wine with them.
The younger brother-in-law didn't want to drink, but Feng Haidong said, "It's okay, drink up. We'll go to the village with my brother-in-law this afternoon, so you don't need to drive."
Upon hearing that he no longer needed to drive, Lu Yaobin naturally showed no politeness whatsoever.
At noon, the whole family ate and drank together, and it was a very happy time.
After dinner, Feng Haidong sat in the courtyard with his father, brother-in-law, and Liang Cong, and began to talk about some things that had happened recently.
Feng Haidong first talked about some things that happened to him in the provincial capital.
The news that a worker had an accident while Feng Haidong and his team were doing renovations was very distressing to hear.
Hearing that the matter had been resolved, the father said sternly, "Haidong, you must be more careful about this kind of thing in the future. We can't let this happen again. Safety comes first."
Feng Haidong earnestly agreed: "Okay, Dad, I know. Brother Tang and I were also terrified, so we didn't dare tell our family. I didn't even dare tell my sister before the worker was discharged from the hospital."
The father nodded: "It's right not to say it. Your older cousin and the others are busy with the shop's business. Don't let them worry about you."
Feng Haidong said, "I have to thank my third sister for finding such a good doctor for us, and she also helped us keep it a secret from my eldest sister and the others."
The father then asked, "Have you properly thanked your third sister?"
Feng Haidong said, "Of course I want to thank my third sister, but Dad, you know she definitely doesn't want to accept gifts or money. So I was thinking that when my third sister's daughter has her birthday, I'll buy her something."
The father nodded: "That's good, otherwise your third sister and the others definitely wouldn't want your things and money."
After recounting his experiences in the provincial capital, Feng Haidong looked at his elder brother-in-law Fang Jianxing and Liang Cong.
"Brother-in-law, tell us about your family situation too."
Fang Jianxing and Liang Cong exchanged a glance, smiles appearing on their faces, clearly eager to speak.
After some polite back and forth, Liang Cong, the technical consultant, finally spoke.
Liang Cong said excitedly, "My brother-in-law's crayfish farming is very successful. The crayfish are growing very well, and I guarantee that the crayfish we raise will be on the market earlier than those caught elsewhere. Also, I guarantee that the size and meat quality of the crayfish will be better."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "That's great! We're just waiting for your crayfish to be listed on the market. My family's restaurant and the stores in the provincial capital are all waiting for crayfish to be available."
Liang Cong said, "No problem, the crayfish can be on the market by mid-May at the latest."
Feng Haidong said, "Okay, I'll start warming up beforehand and make a good profit while also promoting our brand."
Liang Cong continued, "Fish farming in the village is also going quite smoothly. The fish fry have already been released, and so far they seem to be growing well. However, the fish may be on the market a little later, probably in the fall."
Feng Haidong nodded and said, "No problem. For now, we'll use the fish from Liang Cong's place. When our own fish are on the market in the fall, we'll use the fish from our own area."
Liang Cong said, "No problem. If all goes well, we can use the fish we raise ourselves in the future."
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Haha, that's great! It will save a lot of money on transportation, and Liang Cong, your aquaculture business will also be able to develop better in the future."
Seeing that Liang Cong had almost finished speaking, Feng Haidong asked Fang Jianxing with a smile, "Why isn't brother-in-law saying anything?"
Fang Jianxing chuckled and said, "I don't even know what to say."
Feng Haidong said, "Say whatever you want."
Fang Jianxing said, "Okay, then first of all, I want to thank you, Haidong."
Feng Haidong was taken aback at first, then laughed: "Brother-in-law, we don't need to thank you. Letting you raise these fish and shrimp is for the convenience of my restaurant and shop. If you raise more in the future, you can sell them to other businesses. Then you'll be the boss."
Fang Jianxing said, "Then we can't give it to others; it's definitely going to be supplied to your store in Haidong."
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Hahaha, brother-in-law, where would my two shops possibly use that many? Besides, let alone the provincial capital, the market in our city is huge. My restaurant simply cannot accommodate that many people, so we still have to sell them to others."
After a brief pause, Feng Haidong said earnestly, "Moreover, I hope that you, my brother-in-law, can sell it to others so that you can make more money. My restaurant and shop are actually playing a guiding role, getting everyone to start eating grilled fish and crayfish. Maybe I will come back and do aquaculture with you in the future."
Upon hearing Feng Haidong's words, Lu Yaobin, who was sitting to the side, suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, I understand. Your actual purpose is not simply to open a restaurant. You want to start aquaculture from the source and control the raw materials."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Third brother, you're right, but not entirely. I want both. I will definitely continue to run my own store. Maybe I'll open a chain store if I can build a brand in the future. At the same time, I will also engage in animal husbandry so that I can have a sufficient supply of raw materials to better open chain stores."
At this point, Feng Haidong said excitedly, "When the time comes, the brand name of my chain stores will be 'our own farms guarantee the freshness of the ingredients'."
Hearing Feng Haidong's idea naturally surprised everyone.
No one had expected that Feng Haidong would have such a big plan.
Feng Haidong continued, "However, this is just a concept right now. After all, if we want to open a chain store, the key is not the ingredients, but how to ensure the taste is consistent. This is a challenge I need to overcome."
Upon hearing this, the group nodded in agreement, indicating that taste was indeed the most important factor.
Feng Haidong said, "So, it's just a plan for now. We need to continue to work hard and make preparations before we can expand our business. As for chain stores, that's definitely something for later."
After chatting at my parents' house for a while, the effects of the alcohol had mostly dissipated.
Feng Shimeng and her older sister Lu Yue were both put to sleep.
Feng Qifan came out of the house, ran to his father, and asked, "Dad, when are we going to Uncle's house?"
Feng Haidong asked, "Are all the sisters asleep?"
Feng Qifan replied, "Yes, my sister is asleep."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Let's set off now. Let's go see your uncle first. If we have time, we'll go to the village. If we don't have time, we'll go tomorrow."
With Feng Haidong's arrangement, everyone got up, told their parents, and Feng Haidong and the others took Feng Qifan with them.
