Feng Haidong was in front of the restaurant, helping customers choose crayfish and weigh them.
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind me asking, "Boss Feng, what's the price of crayfish today?"
Before Feng Haidong could even turn around, he replied directly, "Still the same price."
Then the voice behind us said, "But we don't want to pay today, but we still want to eat your crayfish. What should we do?"
Feng Haidong immediately smiled and turned his head, saying, "Sister Mei, since you're here, I'll definitely give you a discount, but we're a small business, so we can't just not pay."
Seeing Feng Haidong turn his head to look over, Mei Yaqin and her colleagues pushed Lu Wanling out.
"We don't want to pay today because we've kidnapped your boss's wife. We want the boss to cook us a meal of crayfish, and we want several different flavors. Does everyone agree?"
The female colleagues immediately laughed and said, "Yes, we're here to freeload."
At that moment, Feng Haidong, Lu Wanling, and the customers selecting crayfish at the entrance all burst into laughter.
Lu Wanling said with a grin, "Feng Haidong, we're all eating together today, so you're not allowed to take any money. Hurry up and prepare everything properly, make sure to pick the biggest pieces, and include several different flavors, understand?"
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Okay, as you wish. My dear wife, please take your colleague inside and have a seat."
Seeing her husband's attitude, Lu Wanling said with satisfaction, "You did a good job."
Then Lu Wanling said to her colleagues, "Okay, let's go in and sit down. Let Haidong serve us some crayfish later."
Seeing this, her colleagues smiled and followed Lu Wanling into the crayfish restaurant.
As she entered, two young female colleagues surrounded Lu Wanling and praised her.
"Sister Ling, you're really amazing at home. You're a woman of your word."
"Yes, Sister Lu, your brother-in-law listens to you very much."
Lu Wanling said with a hint of pride, "Of course, I've always been the one in charge in our family, and your brother-in-law always listens to me."
Listening to his wife's proud words, Feng Haidong also smiled broadly and continued to weigh the crayfish for the guests.
After selecting the crayfish for the guests, Feng Haidong also scooped some out for his wife and the others.
Feng Haidong was quite generous to his wife and her colleagues, giving them a considerable amount of crayfish.
When Feng Haidong finished cooking four different flavors of crayfish, he personally served them to his wife and her colleagues at their table.
Lu Wanling's group of female colleagues immediately focused their attention on Feng Haidong.
Feng Haidong put down the four plates of crayfish. Seeing everyone staring at him, he asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you all looking at me? Is there something wrong with what I'm doing?"
Upon hearing Feng Haidong's question, the female colleagues couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This smile made Feng Haidong even more puzzled.
Feng Haidong could only look at his wife.
His wife just smiled and didn't seem inclined to answer.
Seeing this situation, Feng Haidong was completely baffled.
Finally, Mei Yaqin said with a smile, "Alright, alright, Haidong, you don't need to stay here. It's a topic between us women, and you, a grown man, can't participate in it. Go and get busy. If you have any questions, ask your Wanling when you get home tonight."
Feng Haidong could only say, "Okay, I'll go get busy first. You all take your time eating. If you're not full, just go to the fish tank by the door and take it to the kitchen window over there."
After Feng Haidong left, the group of women couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Feng Haidong heard his wife's laughter coming from the other table, and turned his head to look again, just in time to meet his wife's gaze as she laughed and turned to look at him.
After exchanging a glance, Feng Haidong read in his wife's eyes that she wanted him to mind his own business.
Feng Haidong simply ignored his wife's table and went on to greet the other guests.
After giving her husband a look, Lu Wanling said to everyone at the table, "Alright, alright, can we start eating now? Don't you all want to eat?"
The female colleagues all smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat."
Then the women at the table also started eating.
After eating for a while, the female colleagues couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"It's so delicious! Sister Ling, why are your crayfish so good?"
"Yes, yes, Wanling, tell us why it tastes so good?"
"It's true, I could never make it taste like this at home."
“There used to be a crayfish place near my house, but the taste was nowhere near as good as my brother-in-law’s.”
"Wanling, can you tell us how to make it so delicious?"
Hearing her female colleagues praising her husband's cooking skills, Lu Wanling felt quite proud. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know the specifics of how it's done."
Mei Yaqin was somewhat surprised: "Wanling, you didn't know either? Haidong kept it a secret from you too?"
Lu Wanling said, "It's not that it's a secret, it's just that I have to go to work every day and I can't keep an eye on him, so I really don't know what ingredients he put in."
A young female colleague asked, "Sister Ling, the garlic flavor in your store is the best. I especially like it."
My young female colleague next to me said, "You can't eat spicy food, so you like this garlic flavor because the broth is a bit sweet. I, on the other hand, prefer spicy food; spicy food is the best."
Then each colleague shared their favorite flavor, proving that everyone has their own preferred taste.
After listening, Mei Yaqin said, "Have you all noticed? The flavors at Wanling's restaurant are really diverse, unlike other restaurants that only offer spicy flavors. Wanling's restaurant has flavors that suit different tastes, making it a place that everyone can enjoy."
