Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

In the days that followed, Luo Feng and his team each performed their duties, and the shop's business gradually stabilized. Relying on his culinary skills, Luo Feng successfully won over a group of customers.

Nowadays, Luo Ji serves breakfast in the morning, meals at noon and in the evening, and even late-night snacks.

In addition, Luo Feng regularly updates the menu. Dishes include sweet and sour pork ribs, Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, sour soup fish, braised lion's head meatballs, four-happiness meatballs, as well as various soups and cold dishes, which keep diners entertained and full of satisfaction.

Of course, Luo Feng wouldn't forget about his weddings, funerals, and birthday banquets. He put up a sign at the entrance that read "One-stop wedding service," indicating that Luo's also handled this type of business.

To prepare, Luo Feng specially ordered ten folding round tables, bought dozens of plastic stools, and a whole bunch of other wedding decorations. He also asked Zhao San to lend him his tractor.

Therefore, Luo Feng also decided to give Zhao San a sum of money every month as a usage fee.

That's all we can do for now. We'll buy a tractor later.

After making several deals with diners, Luo Feng's reputation gradually grew, and more and more people sought him out for gigs.

In this way, Luo's net profit is around seven or eight thousand yuan per month.

But as the business grows, so do the problems.

In small towns, when you do business, few of your peers know you, and even if they do, they look down on you and don't consider you a competitor.

But things are different now. Now that we've moved to the county level and our business has grown, we naturally have competitors.

When it comes to the top figure in the county's wedding industry, Wang Dana is undoubtedly the one.

This young man was fair-skinned and had a very good appearance, which gave him a talent for being a wedding emcee.

Don't let his refined appearance fool you; he's got a dark side. Luo Feng has stolen several of her business deals, which has long been a source of resentment for him.

As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. Sure enough, on this day, Wang Dana brought his men to cause trouble.

"Tell your boss to come out and see me." As soon as he arrived at the door, Wang Dana shouted arrogantly.

Seeing the four or five burly men he brought, Zhu Gan, who was greeting customers in the shop, was immediately terrified and ran to the kitchen to call Luo Feng out.

A short while later, Luo Feng and Hu Zi came out, while Luo Feng left the others in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, the diners who were eating in the restaurant, seeing that things were not going well, had all run away.

"Who are you people?" Luo Feng asked, trying to appear calm. No matter what, he needed to find out their background first.

"My name is Wang Dana, you've heard of me, right?" the man said arrogantly.

Looking at the fair-skinned man in front of him, Luo Feng remembered that there really was such a person. He had heard that he was someone in the same industry as him, also in the wedding planning business.

"What brings you here today?" Luo Feng asked.

"What do you mean? What do you mean? I'm telling you to get out of here." Wang Dana pointed at Luo Feng's nose and said.

"What if we don't leave?" Luo Feng asked.

"That depends on whether my brothers agree or not," Wang Dana said with a smile, pointing to the several burly men behind him.

"Who are you trying to fool? Do you think we're afraid of you?" Tiger retorted angrily before Luo Feng could even speak.

Luo Feng restrained the poised Tiger and pushed him aside. Stepping forward, he said to Wang Dana, "You're being a bit unruly. If you want to fight, I've never been afraid of anyone." With that, Luo Feng called out to the kitchen. Then, Da Zhuang, Shi Tou, and Zhu Gan emerged from the back.

When Wang Dana saw this scene, he realized that things were not good. It seemed that he had brought too few people today and was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers!

They were just about to say a few polite words and turn to leave when Luo Feng gave them no chance. With a shout, his men rushed forward and started fighting with them.

Despite the similar numbers on both sides, Tiger and his gang were seasoned thugs, practically veterans. Wang Dana, on the other hand, only brought four or five men to intimidate Luo Feng and his group; he hadn't expected them to actually fight.

Luo Feng's side gained the upper hand right from the start. Needless to say, Wang Dana's men were only doing things for money and would never risk their lives for this. But it was different for Luo Feng's side. This small shop was built up by his brothers with great effort, and they certainly wouldn't let it be destroyed so easily.

Soon, four or five men on Wang Dana's side were knocked to the ground, while Hu Zi kept staring at Wang Dana, feeling uncomfortable looking at his fair and clean face, and slapped him hard across the face.

While smoking, he said, "I'll teach you to be arrogant, I'll teach you to be arrogant, now why aren't you arrogant anymore?"

Then, Wang Dana and his gang scurried away in a panic. Before leaving, Wang Dana gave Luo Feng a resentful look, and from his eyes, Luo Feng knew that Wang Dana would be back, and his troubles would definitely be considerable.

Seeing that they had left and looking at the messy shop, Luo Feng was just about to have his brothers clean up when he heard a man's voice coming from the doorway.

"Someone called the police saying there was a fight going on here, and it seems it's true." A man with a buzz cut and wearing a police uniform walked into the store, looked around, and said to Luo Feng.

"Officer, here's what happened. A group of thugs came by, but we chased them away," Wang Feng quickly said to the officer, adopting a humble tone.

"I don't care about all that. Just send someone back to the station with me to give a statement," the officer said curtly.

Then Luo Feng and Hu Zi went to the police station with the police officer. Before leaving, they told everyone to clean up the shop so as not to affect business the next day.

Hearing that her father was going to the police station terrified Xinghua. She quickly ran downstairs, hugged her father tightly, and wouldn't let him go.

Helpless, Luo Feng could only comfort his daughter first. It took a lot of effort to finally calm the agitated Xinghua down.

Looking at the police officers who were getting impatient, Luo Feng whispered to his daughter, "Daddy will be back soon."

Then, Luo Feng, Hu Zi, and the police officer went to the Public Security Bureau.

Once at the station, it was the same old routine of questioning, taking statements, and signing documents. By the time all of that was done, it was getting dark.

After the statement was taken, Luo Feng stayed behind to light a cigarette for the police officer, and then the two chatted casually.

During the conversation, Luo Feng learned that the police officer's surname was Liu and that he was a newcomer who had just graduated from police academy and been assigned to the county public security bureau.

Luo Feng was secretly delighted; this kind of newbie was easy to deal with. He'd find an opportunity to invite him to a meal, and then occasionally try to get closer to him, slowly building a good relationship.

That way, he'd have connections in high places. And he wouldn't have to worry about Wang Dana's situation anymore. Since ancient times, the common people haven't fought with officials, and the rich haven't competed with officials. In front of the police, it would be a miracle if Wang Dana dared to cause trouble.
