PNB Chapter 168 The Loud Name of Fried Chicken
Chapter 168 The Loud Name of Fried Chicken
The "prostitute" business with Baihualou has been negotiated.
Jinzhu's father first ordered four chickens, plus the one today, a total of five, for twenty taels of silver, which replaced the twenty taels he had paid in advance.
From now on, every time Lu Yao gives a chicken as a gift, it will really be worth four taels of silver per chicken.
"Does your fried chicken have a name?" Jinzhu's father couldn't help but tear off another chicken wing and asked while eating.
If it doesn’t have a unique name, it will be called “Baihualou Fried Chicken” in the future.
"Of course! My fried chicken has a vivid, interesting, unique and resounding name -
The chicken is fragrant and the skin is crispy! "
The name was inspired by an internationally renowned brand in the previous life, and it is Lu Yao's remembrance and commemoration of the previous life.
"What?" Jinzhu's father raised his thin and curved eyebrow, feeling as if he had heard something strange.
This name is really unheard of!
He thought it would be called something like "Qi Xiang Chicken" or "Wei Zhen Chicken", but it turned out to be a gnawed chicken? A chicken with crispy skin?
"You can just order [gnawed chicken]." Lu Yao became excited when she said this:
“This fried chicken has bones and meat, so shouldn’t you chew it when you eat it?
Isn’t this golden chicken skin fragrant and crispy?
Isn’t this name apt?
Believe me, others will want to order one to try even if they are curious! "
Sometimes business names need to be different.
"Ha!" Jin Zhu's father rolled his eyes at Lu Yao: "You are quite good at making a gimmick."
The matter of Baihua Tower was settled, and Lu Yao would be busy from now on.
After all, having put up the "gnawed chicken" brand, Lu Yao didn't want to supply only to Baihualou, nor did she want to just fry a whole chicken.
Fried chicken nuggets, fried chicken fillets, fried chicken legs, fried chicken wings, fried chicken tenders, all kinds of fried chicken, even with meat and bones attached, don’t they smell good?
The most important thing is the hamburgers!
Lu Yao plans to open a Kende Chicken specialty store to recreate the delicacies from her previous life.
By then, we will not only sell goods in retail but also supply goods to restaurants, and maybe we can even open a franchise chain store.
Since it is a long-term business, the cost and selling price must be carefully determined and recalculated.
Selling a crispy fried chicken to Baihualou for four taels of silver is indeed a robbery.
But for a place like that, the price is really affordable.
Because Lu Yao knew that the wine and food in Baihua Tower were linked to her brothers.
The food and wine are just a cover, the "service" of the brothers and sisters is the key.
Ordering dishes is like ordering boys. The higher the price of the dishes, the higher the price of the boys and girls.
For example, every time the original owner Ergouzi went there, he would order about three taels of silver for food and wine, and the ones who came to accompany him drinking were Xiaohong and Xiaolu.
If she orders expensive dishes, costing more than ten taels for a table, then the guys who come to drink with her will become the prettier Xiaodie'er or Xiaojiao'er.
In short, a shrewd brothel owner like Jinzhu's father would not do business at a loss.
But if Lu Yao wants to do the takeout herself, the price has to be more affordable.
If you want to make the price affordable, you have to control the cost price.
She bought these experimental chickens from the vegetable market.
It was not cheap to begin with, and after the boss slaughtered and prepared it, it seemed a little more expensive.
So she earned nearly 200 wen each for those chickens. Fortunately, they were big and heavy.
Lu Yao found Wang Xiaowu.
"Xiao Wu, do you sell chicken wholesale?"
"Boss, if you need it, we have it."
Anyway, her father collects pork from everywhere, so if there is a demand, he can also collect some chickens as well.
After some preferential treatment, Lu Yao was able to get a chicken from Wang Xiaowu for 150 cents, and it was already slaughtered.
Lu Yao calculated again.
If you raise chickens at home, it will be even cheaper. The final price should be around ten cents per pound of chicken, and around one hundred cents per chicken.
It’s time to start a chicken farm at home!
A way to help the Lu family get rich was found naturally.
Apart from raw materials, there is the issue of labor.
Zhang Sanniang and Li Siya were both unemployed vagrants before, and now that Lu Yao is doing business, they have a helper.
When we were building the house before, we found that these two sisters were quite reliable in their work. Now they can be transformed into the first batch of employees in the Kende Chicken Store.
"Sanniang, Si Ya, follow the boss to fry chicken, 400 Wen a month first, how about that?"
"Thank you, boss!" How could Zhang Sanniang and Li Siya not be happy? The salary was not low, and it also included food and accommodation.
If you can earn money properly, who would want to be a street thug doing nothing and fighting all day long?
The employee issue has also been resolved.
As for the store, Lu Yao has no plans to rent one in the commercial street for the time being.
Anyway, she has a small building, so she sells it right in front of her house.
She built a fancy sunshade, placed a table underneath, and had a small oil pan next to it, where she fried food and sold it on the spot.
When the marinated chicken is coated with special fried flour and slipped into the slightly bubbling oil pan, the unique aroma of fried food comes out!
Especially the aroma of hot fried chicken, which spread from three miles away and quickly attracted a lot of people.
Originally, Lu Yao's small building was very famous in this area, and now there was a stall at the door. Everyone became even more curious and gathered around.
"Hey, what is this?" Everyone stood in front of the table and saw something sizzling in the pan. In the basket on the table, there was a golden chicken?
The chicken is already cooked, but still intact. The thin layer of batter covering the chicken skin becomes a crispy shell after being fried in high temperature oil, as if giving the chicken a golden body.
Next to it is a small pile of golden fried food cubes, each of which is as big as a date, covered with golden fried batter and exuding bursts of meaty aroma.
What is this!
"This is the crispy chicken skin, and this is the crispy chicken nuggets." The owner Lu Yao introduced enthusiastically.
"Isn't this a Golden Finger Consulting Company? Why are you selling food?" someone asked in confusion.
“Gold Finger Consulting is also open, and fried chicken is also sold.
My Gold Finger Consulting Company is a company that provides business advice. Now I want to set an example and personally show everyone whether I know how to do business and whether I can guide others! "
This reason makes everyone admire it very much.
This is simply like the doctor testing the medicine himself and the teacher taking the imperial examination herself!
Seeing that more and more people were coming to the door, Lu Yao simply opened her voice and shouted:
"Fellow villagers, Ken's Chicken Fried Chicken Shop is opening today, specializing in the best fried chicken in the world!
All of our fried chicken is made from carefully raised mountain chickens, marinated with a secret recipe, and fried with the finest oil.
Smell it and you’ll enjoy the aroma; take a bite and you’ll enjoy the endless aftertaste!
Have one for yourself to satisfy your hunger and cravings; give one to relatives and friends as a gift, it will make you look generous and proud!
Don’t miss it if you pass by, it opens today and there is a 20% discount on all items! ”
"How much is a 20% discount?" someone couldn't help but ask.
“The original price was thirty cents per pound, but today it’s 20% off, 24 cents per pound!
There is meat, oil and salt, one pound can make a dish, which is much easier than cooking it yourself! "
At first, when everyone heard that it was thirty cents per pound, they thought it was really expensive. But just as the boss said, it contains both oil and salt, so the fried ones are more expensive than the raw ones.
Some people are more thoughtful. When they see that there is a lot of oil on the chicken nuggets, they think that if they buy it, they won’t need to add oil when cooking at home. They can just throw two chicken nuggets on it, which has both meat and oil.
What's more, we are now offering a promotion for opening the business, with a price of 20 wen per pound, which is not much different from the price of a live chicken. You can also save the process of killing and plucking the chicken, and there are no bones.
The more I think about it, the more appropriate it seems.
In addition, the aroma of fried chicken has attracted some people, and those who have more money on hand have already started weighing their items.
In a short while, all the fried chicken nuggets in the basket were sold out, and even the whole chicken was bought by someone.
When he finally closed the stall, he sold all the more than 50 kilograms of fried chicken he had prepared and earned more than 1,300 copper coins!
