Baohai, a prefecture-level city located on the shore of the East China Sea, is also the closest city to the East China Sea. Compared with the early years, Baohai was a leading industry with seafood, and now Baohai has a certain industrial base and is also a well-known coastal tourism city in China.

When the passenger ferry arrived at the shipping terminal in Dinghai, it was already noon. The three-hour voyage allowed some passengers to have their lunch served directly on the passenger ship. But for Xu Haibao, he has already been invited to lunch.

The passenger ferry had just docked at the wharf, and Xu Haibao, who was standing on the side of the ship, soon saw Chen Xingcheng standing at the wharf to pick up the ship. Although the two often mingled when they were discharged from the army earlier. But it's nothing, and Xu Haibao doesn't want to disturb Chen Xingcheng.

"Brother Bao, here! I'm here!"

Looking at Chen Xingcheng, who was waving excitedly, and Xu Haibao, who was about to move the foam box, he wanted to pretend not to see it. In Xu Haibao's opinion, this rich second generation, who was forced to the army by his family, has not made much progress after two years as a soldier.

Even what made Xu Haibao speechless was that this guy's physique didn't know what was going on. It has only been less than two months since he was discharged from the army, and this guy's weight has skyrocketed, and his already round face is almost fat.

In Chen Xingcheng's words, he can't be blamed for this. The reason is that Chen Xingcheng has a mother who always thinks he is thin and always thinks that he can't eat well in the army. In addition, he opened his own restaurant, and after retiring from the army, he naturally ate a lot.

"Don't scream, I'm afraid that others won't know that you're fat? I didn't see that there were two boxes of goods, so hurry up and move them. ”

Regarding the enthusiasm of this dead fat man, Xu Haibao was really speechless. If he hadn't promised to send him a grouper, it is estimated that Xu Haibao would really have the urge to turn around and leave. But Chen Xingcheng, the rich second generation, has no consciousness of the rich second generation at all.

Except for being a little greedy, there doesn't seem to be any other problem with the arrogance of the rich second generation. Even if Xu Haibao occasionally invites him to eat roadside stalls, this guy eats the same delicious food. In Xu Haibao's words, this guy is a bit 'shameless'.

Of course, Xu Haibao also knows that Chen Xingcheng is not without the temper of the rich second generation. In fact, the only person who can make Chen Xingcheng treat him so politely may be Xu Haibao. This point also makes Xu Haibao quite face-saving.

This kid had just joined the army and was very arrogant. But in the army, few people pay attention to who you were before you became a soldier. A recruit dares to jump and dare to be arrogant, and the veteran will definitely make you understand why the army is called a melting pot.

And Xu Haibao, who had been turned into a non-commissioned officer at that time, could also be called an 'old bird' in the army, for the sake of his fellow countrymen, he helped this kid and taught him well, so that he could understand what it means to be 'recruits should be low-key'.

At that time, Chen Xingcheng, who had been trained by those veterans, wanted to die. also slowly understood that in a place like the army, no one really cared if he was a rich second generation before he became a soldier. I only know that disobedient recruits have to be cleaned up.

Washing veterans every day is not called bullying, it is called mutual help and respect for veterans. Training every day is overtime, that is not called corporal punishment, it is called veterans passing on words and deeds. In short, there is no way to complain if you are wronged!

It is very clear that when he was in the army, if Xu Haibao hadn't covered him, it is estimated that Chen Xingcheng would definitely not be able to survive the two-year service period. This also led to the fact that when Chen Xingcheng was in the army, he also relied on Xu Haibao very much.

At that time, Xu Haibao, although he was not the oldest soldier in the base, his deep diving skills were very powerful. In addition, he is a veteran of the base's leaders, so he naturally has a lot more right to speak than a soldier like Chen Xingcheng.

It's just that no one expected that Xu Haibao, who should have no problem with being transferred to a second-class non-commissioned officer, would be discharged from the army with Chen Xingcheng. Regarding the reason, even Chen Xingcheng still feels very curious.

But for Xu Haibao, the fact that he almost hung up while performing the task is also a confidential task. For this reason, this kind of thing naturally cannot be disclosed to Chen Xingcheng, and he only said that he took the initiative to apply for discharge.

Chen Xingcheng, who trotted from the dock to the passenger ferry, said excitedly: "Brother Bao, you are finally back." Yesterday's fish, I've already seen it. You don't know, our restaurant is famous this time.

Customers who want to eat big yellow croaker have a headache for my father. What's in this box? Could it be that you really got wild big groupers? These big boxes can't be full of big groupers, right?"

"If you kid dare to be verbose, believe it or not, I'll throw the box in the water. I used to be in the army, why didn't I see you kid like a mother-in-law. Come back now, I think you kid has a tendency to change your words!"

Picked up two foam boxes and threw off such a sentence, Xu Haibao did not answer Chen Xingcheng's inquiry. Seeing Xu Haibao walk away, Chen Xingcheng also hurriedly picked up the remaining two foam boxes and hurriedly followed Xu Haibao's footsteps.

When he came to the Wrangler that Chen Xingcheng had just bought after retiring from the army, Xu Haibao was very skillful in opening the trunk and putting two foam boxes in it. Speaking of which, this car, which is worth nearly 500,000 yuan, is also a retirement gift given to him by Chen Xingcheng's mother.

I only heard of 'coming-of-age ceremonies and graduation ceremonies' before, but Xu Haibao really didn't hear of it, and there were any 'retirement ceremonies'. Perhaps for Chen Xingcheng's mother, this car did not mean to compensate her son.

After all, when the Chen family sent their only son into the army, it also caused heated discussions in the circle. In recent years, many wealthy people prefer to arrange for their children to go abroad rather than send them to the army to wrestle and exercise.

It's just that Chen Xingcheng was very defeated and troublesome before enlisting in the army, which made his parents heartbroken. In the end, Chen Xingcheng's father rejected his wife's proposal to send Chen Xingcheng to study abroad, and instead sent Chen Xingcheng to the army.

The reason is that Chen Xingcheng's father also served as a soldier in his early years. In Chen Xingcheng's father's view, since their husband and wife can't discipline their son well, let the army discipline him well, and let his son also feel the power of the melting pot of the army.

"Brother Bao, haven't you eaten yet? Why don't you go to the restaurant first? My dad has been asking me to thank you for yesterday's incident! If you hadn't called in advance, it is estimated that the four big yellow croakers would definitely not have my share in the restaurant. ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, you kid, take a good look at the road and drive. This fish is sold to anyone. Besides, your brother-in-law's offer is not bad, and you don't need to thank you. This is a deal, you love me, what is there to thank for!"

"That's right, that's what I said to my dad. What do we have to do with it, we use it like this!"

"We have a fart relationship, Lao Tzu is a straight man!"

"Brother, I'm also a straight man!"

turned on the daily relationship mode, and the two chatted all the way to the restaurant. Seeing that it was past lunch, there were still a lot of cars parked in the restaurant's parking lot, and Xu Haibao also knew that the restaurant's business was really good.

Speaking of which, the Chen family's Donghua Restaurant is also a big restaurant specializing in seafood. Even Xu Haibao knew that the Chen family's Donghua Restaurant was still a chain. But the largest restaurant is still built in the commercial street of Baohai City, his hometown.

Even if there are many restaurants and restaurants around that also cook seafood, Donghua Restaurant is an old brand and is also well-known in the province. Generally, there are government and business banquets, and most of them like to arrange meals here.

It's just that in Xu Haibao's view, as a child of a fisherman who grew up by the sea. If you want to eat truly authentic and fresh seafood, you might as well stay back home. Sometimes when I go out to sea to fish, the seafood I eat is often the freshest.

After the car was parked, Xu Haibao came to the trunk, looked at the four numbered foam boxes, and said directly: "Put the No. 4 box on the car first, and just move the other three boxes in." Let's move directly to the display case!"

"Brother Bao, you won't really get a wild big grouper, still alive?"

"I don't believe it! Lao Tzu told you a long time ago, if you want to eat seafood, foreign people dare not say it, you must not eat as much seafood in the East China Sea as I have eaten. First of all, this fish is not given away for free, but for money. The price is low, I don't sell it!"

"As far as our relationship is concerned, talking about money hurts feelings!"

Looking at Chen Xingcheng's happy expression, Xu Haibao complained: "Fart, it hurts money to talk about feelings! If it weren't for your kid's interest, I would have sold this fish in the town a long time ago, and I still used it to move around, how troublesome!"

When the two of them carried three foam boxes into the restaurant, Chen Xingcheng's father, who was in the store, also walked over with a smile and said, "Haibao, you are here." Thank you for yesterday!"

"Uncle Chen, you are so polite! If you really want to say thank you, it should be me. After all, you've paid a lot of money for that fish!"

"You kid, you're just too modest. In these years, the big yellow croaker is priceless, and if you want to buy it, sometimes it doesn't work if you have money. By the way, what's in this box? You kid, you can't really get a wild grouper, do you?"

Earlier, from his son's mouth, he already knew that Xu Haibao promised to get a few wild big groupers for his son when he returned to the city. As the owner of the restaurant, Chen Donghua knows very well that in today's world, wild groupers are as difficult to find.

Nowadays, some of the groupers sold in many seafood restaurants are simply farmed and passed off as wild. Fortunately, Chen Donghua would not do this kind of thing at all. He knows that if he wants to do business for a long time, cheating will ruin his reputation.

Sometimes, he prefers the dishes in the restaurant to be more expensive and ensure the quality of the ingredients. Perhaps it is this kind of persistence and ethics that makes the Donghua Restaurant under his name occupy a place in the Ruoda seafood restaurant market.
