Chapter 12

Baohai, a prefecture-level city located on the East China Sea, is also the closest city to the East China Sea.Compared to the early years when Baohai was dominated by seafood, today's Baohai has a certain industrial foundation and is also a well-known seaside tourist city in China.

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

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

"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 really wanted to pretend he didn't see it.In Xu Haibao's view, this rich second generation who was forced to be sent to the army by his family did not make much progress after serving as a soldier for two years.

What even made Xu Haibao speechless was that he didn't know what was going on with this guy's physique.It has only been less than two months since he was discharged from the army. This guy's weight has soared, and his already round face is almost fattening into a ball.

In Chen Xingcheng's words, he cannot be blamed for this.The reason is that Chen Xingcheng has a mother who always thinks that he is thin and that he doesn't eat well in the army.In addition to opening a restaurant at home, it is natural to eat extravagantly after retiring from the army.

"Stop yelling. I'm afraid that people don't know that you are fat? I didn't see there are two boxes of goods, so hurry up and move them."

Xu Haibao was really speechless about the enthusiasm of this fat man.If he hadn't promised to give him grouper, Xu Haibao probably would have had the urge to turn around and leave.However, Chen Xingcheng, the rich second generation, has no self-awareness of the rich second generation at all.

Apart from being a little gluttonous, it seems that there are no other problems of arrogance of the rich second generation.Even if Xu Haibao occasionally invites him to a roadside stall, this guy still eats deliciously.In Xu Haibao's words, this guy is a bit 'shameless'.

Of course, Xu Haibao also knew that Chen Xingcheng was not without the temper of the rich second generation.In fact, perhaps only Xu Haibao could make Chen Xingcheng treat him so politely.This also gave Xu Haibao a lot of face.

This kid had just joined the army and was very arrogant.But in the army, few people pay attention to your identity before joining the army.If a recruit dares to jump and be arrogant, the veteran will definitely let you understand why the army is called a melting pot.

And Xu Haibao, who had already turned into a non-commissioned officer at that time, could be called an "veteran" in the army. For the sake of his fellow countrymen, he helped this kid and taught him a lot so that he could understand It's called 'recruites should keep a low profile'.

At that time, Chen Xingcheng, who had already been drilled by those veterans, was willing to give up.I also gradually realized that in a place like the army, no one cared whether he was a rich second generation before joining the army.All I know is that disobedient recruits will be dealt with.

Washing socks and clothes for veterans every day is not called bullying, it is called mutual help and respect for veterans.When training is increased every day, it is not called corporal punishment, it is called veterans teaching by example.In short, there is no way to complain if I feel wronged!
It is very clear that when he was in the army, if Xu Haibao hadn't protected him, Chen Xingcheng would definitely not be able to survive the estimated two-year service period.This also led to Chen Xingcheng relying heavily on Xu Haibao when he was in the army.

At that time, although Xu Haibao was not the oldest soldier in the base, his deep diving skills were very good.In addition, he is a veteran who is valued by the leaders of the base, so he naturally has more voice than a soldier like Chen Xingcheng.

It's just that no one thought that Xu Haibao, who should have no problems transferring to a second-level non-commissioned officer, would be discharged together with Chen Xingcheng.As for the reason, Chen Xingcheng is still very curious even now.

But for Xu Haibao, the fact that he almost died while performing the mission is also a confidential mission.For this reason, Chen Xingcheng naturally couldn't disclose this kind of thing, and only said that he had applied for discharge on his own initiative.

Chen Xingcheng, who trotted from the pier to the passenger ship, said excitedly: "Brother Bao, you are finally back. I have already seen the fish yesterday. You don't know, our restaurant has become famous this time.

There are so many customers who want to eat big yellow croaker that my dad has a headache.what's in this boxCould it be that you really got a wild big grouper?These big boxes aren't all big groupers, are they? "

"If you dare to talk too much, believe it or not, I'll throw the box into the water. I used to be in the army, why didn't I see you as a mother-in-law. Now that I'm back, I think you have a tendency to change your words!"

Picking up two foam boxes, Xu Haibao didn't answer Chen Xingcheng's question after saying such a word.Seeing Xu Haibao walk away, Chen Xingcheng quickly picked up the remaining two foam boxes and followed Xu Haibao's footsteps.

Coming to the Wrangler that Chen Xingcheng had just bought after leaving the army, Xu Haibao skillfully opened the trunk and put two foam boxes in it.Speaking of which, this car worth nearly 50 yuan was also a gift from Chen Xingcheng's mother for his retirement.

In the past, I only heard that there were "adult ceremonies and graduation ceremonies", but Xu Haibao really didn't hear about the "retirement ceremonies".Perhaps for Chen Xingcheng's mother, this car does not mean to compensate her son.

After all, when the Chen family sent their only son to the army, it caused heated discussions in the circle.These days, many wealthy tycoons prefer to arrange their children to go abroad, rather than sending them to the army to fight and exercise.

However, before joining the army, Chen Xingcheng was very prodigal and troublesome, 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 into the army.

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

"Brother Bao, haven't you eaten yet? Why don't you go to the restaurant first? My dad kept asking me to thank you for what happened yesterday! If you hadn't called to inform me in advance, the four big yellow croakers probably wouldn't be in my restaurant. share."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, kid, watch the road and drive carefully. Anyone who sells this fish will sell it. Besides, your uncle's price is not bad, and you don't need to thank you. This is a business, I will if you like it." What is there to thank you for!"

"That's right, my dad and I said the same thing. What's the relationship between us? We use such identities!"

"We have a fart relationship, I'm a straight man!"

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

After starting the daily relationship mode, the two chatted all the way to the restaurant.Seeing that it was past noon, there were still many cars parked in the restaurant 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 that mainly deals 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 in the urban area of ​​Baohai, my hometown.

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

It's just that in Xu Haibao's view, as a fisherman's son who grew up by the sea.If you want to eat authentic and fresh seafood, you might as well stay in your hometown.Sometimes when I go fishing, 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. [-] box on the car first, and just move the other three boxes in. Just move it to the display Over there!"

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

"I don't believe it! I told you a long time ago that if you want to talk about eating seafood, people from abroad dare not say it. You must not eat as much seafood from the East China Sea as I have. Let me tell you first, this fish is not a free gift, but a collection. Money. If the price is too low, I won’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 witty sake, I would have sold this fish in the town a long time ago. How troublesome it is to move around!"

When the two entered the restaurant with three foam boxes, Chen Xingcheng's father, who was in the shop, also walked over with a smile and said, "Haibao, you are here. Thank you for what happened yesterday!"

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

"You boy, you are just too modest. These days, large yellow croakers are priceless. If you want to buy large yellow croakers, sometimes money doesn't work. By the way, what's in this box? You boy, you won't really get wild Big grouper, right?"

Earlier, from his son's mouth, he already knew that when Xu Haibao agreed to go back to the city, he got some wild big groupers for his son.As the owner of a restaurant, Chen Donghua knows very well that in today's world, wild groupers are as hard to find.

Some of the grouper sold in many seafood restaurants are simply farmed as wild.Fortunately, Chen Donghua would never do this kind of thing.He knew that if he wanted to do long-term business, cheating would ruin his reputation.

Sometimes, he would rather the restaurant's dishes be more expensive, but also to ensure the quality of the ingredients.Perhaps it is this kind of persistence and integrity that allowed Donghua Restaurant under his name to occupy a place in Ruoda's seafood restaurant market.
