Although the divorce of his brother-in-law Lu Yaobin has made everyone unhappy.
However, Feng Haidong was not greatly affected. After seeing his family off, he still led Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia to make final preparations for the evening's business.
After his family left, some of the waiters that Feng Haidong had hired arrived one after another.
Liu Cuiping, a woman who sells vegetables at the market, also came with her future daughter-in-law and her brother's niece.
As soon as Liu Cuiping entered, she quickly introduced Feng Haidong.
Her eldest son Chen Zhiyong's girlfriend, or fiancée, is named Zhang Yongyan.
She seemed like a rather simple and unassuming girl, and she was a little reserved when she met Feng Haidong.
Liu Cuiping's niece's name is Liu Fang.
It was obvious that Liu Fang had spent more time in the city, so she seemed much more lively than Zhang Yongyan.
Moreover, Liu Fang had met Feng Haidong at her aunt's stall before, and immediately greeted him upon meeting him this time: "Hello, Uncle Haidong. I often hear my aunt and brother talk about you. They say you and your aunt are very close."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "It's not as good as they say. If you come to work for me, be prepared. It can be very tiring when there are many people."
Liu Fang immediately said, "It's just serving dishes, how hard can it be? I can do it."
Zhang Yongyan wasn't as direct as Liu Fang, but it was clear she was a hardworking and resilient girl: "Uncle Haidong, I will do my best."
Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Okay, my shop is basically open at night, so you don't need to come in the morning. Just come around three or four in the afternoon. You don't need to come too early. But we might stay open quite late at night, so you two should be prepared."
Liu Fang said, "No problem, I'll go back with my future sister-in-law if it's late."
Feng Haidong said, "It would be best if your brother came to pick you up. It's not close to Liujiawan from here, and it's not safe for two girls to walk there so late at night."
Zhang Yongyan nodded in agreement, clearly still somewhat worried.
But Liu Fang said nonchalantly, "Oh, Uncle Haidong, you're being too cautious. If you really run into someone, just mention my brother Yong's name and you'll be fine."
Seeing that Liu Fang didn't take it seriously, Feng Haidong earnestly said to Liu Cuiping, "Sister, you must tell your husband Dayong about this. Tell him that no matter how busy he is, he must come to pick up the two girls tonight, otherwise there is real danger."
Liu Cuiping nodded earnestly in agreement: "Okay, Haidong, I'll go back and tell Dayong."
Then Feng Haidong explained their work to Liu Fang and Zhang Yongyan.
Finally, in front of Sister Liu, he said, "Since you've come here, I'll give you 200 a month to start. If you do a good job, I'll give you 400 a month."
When they heard that it would cost 200 yuan per month, Liu Fang and Zhang Yongyan were already beaming with excitement.
When Liu Fang heard that she would receive 400 yuan per month, she cheered even more.
“That’s great! 400 a month is more than my mom’s salary. Uncle Haidong, you’re so generous.”
Zhang Yongyan looked at her future mother-in-law and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Uncle Haidong, isn't this salary a bit too high?"
Feng Haidong laughed and said, "Haha, if you think the salary is too high, then work hard for your uncle. My restaurant will be counting on you guys from now on."
These words made Zhang Yongyan even more embarrassed, but she still said earnestly, "Uncle Haidong, I will definitely do my best."
Liu Fang chimed in, "Yes, yes, I'll work hard for you, Uncle Haidong."
Feng Haidong said, "Alright, don't be so sure of yourself. Tonight is the time to see how you perform."
Liu Fang said, "No problem."
Zhang Yongyan also said, "I will try my best."
Seeing that the two girls were very enthusiastic, Liu Cuiping smiled and said, "Alright, Haidong, these two girls are in your care. Just let them do whatever they want. If they don't do a good job, you should deduct their pay. If they make any mistakes, you must tell your older sister."
As Feng Haidong saw Sister Liu out, he smiled and replied, "Okay, don't worry, Sister."
After seeing Sister Liu off, Feng Haidong whispered to her, "Sister, Zhang Yongyan just came from the village. The dazzling world of the city can be very distracting, which is why I told your Dayong to come pick her up tonight. This way, the two of them can spend more time together and develop feelings for each other."
After hearing Feng Haidong's words, Liu Cuiping finally realized what was going on.
She turned her head and glanced into the restaurant.
Liu Fang and Zhang Yongyan looked on with curiosity as they followed behind Dong Xia, listening to her instructions.
Liu Cuiping understood Feng Haidong's intentions. She gently patted Feng Haidong's arm and said, "Haidong, thank you so much. I didn't even think of these things. You're so thoughtful. I'll definitely tell Dayong when I get back, and he can come pick them up tonight."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Okay, sister, please drive carefully on your way back. Don't worry about them at my restaurant."
Liu Cuiping smiled and said, "Don't worry, I trust you completely."
After seeing Sister Liu off, Feng Haidong returned to the restaurant and began to get everyone ready to start preparing.
By this time, it was getting closer and closer to evening, and in the night market and other parts of the city, the owners of crayfish shops suddenly began to get anxious.
Many of these business owners haven't been able to buy crayfish at the seafood market since this morning.
Many business owners have even visited numerous markets, only to find that they can only buy some very small crayfish.
It was almost evening, and time to open for business was fast approaching.
But with no crayfish available right now, the night market stalls and restaurant owners who had previously followed Feng Haidong's lead and tried selling spicy crayfish are feeling somewhat helpless.
As evening approached, people in various workplaces across the city gradually finished their workdays.
After leaving their workplaces, people started discussing where to go for dinner that evening.
When everyone starts discussing what to eat and where to eat, etc.
There will always be people who, on summer evenings, crave the taste of crayfish and then suggest to their friends that they eat crayfish together that night.
When someone suggested having crayfish for dinner, after some discussion, someone remembered the flyers and balloons that Feng Haidong had handed out with his children. So after discussing it, the group decided to go to the shop on the flyer and try the crayfish cooked there.
Of course, when Feng Haidong turned on the lights on the signboard above the entrance, his crayfish restaurant welcomed its first batch of customers.
Many of the customers he had accumulated from his night market stall came specifically tonight to support Feng Haidong.
When customers who were used to Feng Haidong's food at the night market arrived, they saw the fresh crayfish in the fish tank at the entrance and immediately felt that their trip was indeed worthwhile.
A voice immediately rang out from the doorway: "Boss, how much are the crayfish?"
Feng Haidong came out with a big smile and began to greet the first customers of his crayfish restaurant.
