Chapter 125 Fried Chicken and Grilled Sausage (Part 2)

"It smells so good!" Xia Li took a deep breath, her saliva secreting wildly. Thinking about it carefully, she hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

"Fry the chicken for seven or eight minutes the first time, then remove it from the pan, drain the oil, and fry it again when the customer orders. This time, fry it at a higher temperature for one minute, and then you can remove it from the pan. This way, the chicken will have a crispy shell... Come on, try it, be careful with the heat."

Jiang You took out the frying basket and poured the fried chicken nuggets into a plate. "We also need to think about the takeout container. Our store is relatively small, and most customers will probably choose to take out. Paper boxes are too expensive, maybe we can use some kind of waterproof basket woven from leaves or rattan..."

"I can make this up!" Dimitri said excitedly, "I'll do it!"

"Okay," Jiang You nodded. "I'll have Holly select non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and waterproof plant leaves and vines and send a batch over."

This is also a long-term business. If it works, Dimitri can teach more people in the future. Anyway, there are many veterans, so there is no worry about lack of manpower.

Dimitri and Charli devoured their fried chicken. The couple remembered the taste vividly. Andrei also tried two pieces and exclaimed in amazement, "It's delicious!"

The crispy batter was thin and fragrant, and upon biting into it, the tender, juicy chicken was revealed. The marinade had permeated the chicken, leaving it tender and sweet. Andre devoured the chicken in just a few bites, chewing and swallowing even the crispy bones, licking his fingers with a satisfied look.

“This is going to be a huge hit!”

Jiang You couldn't help laughing. She told Andre to wash his hands, and then asked him to put the chicken breast on a wooden block and beat it into a paste with a heavy wooden stick.

"The chicken puree made this way will be very chewy," said Jiang You. She taught Dimitri and his wife the Purification Mantra and asked Dimitri to help Andrei puree the meat. "When it comes to food, you must pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. All utensils must be washed with clean water before and after use and disinfected with the Purification Mantra. Don't use spoiled ingredients... This is very important!"

She chattered on and on about the various operating requirements, and taught Charles how to make pearls with cassava flour and make milk tea with tea leaves; then she looked at the chicken puree over there with the two men, nodded with satisfaction, and then demonstrated step by step how to mix the chicken puree with starch evenly, add seasonings, stir vigorously, and finally squeeze into sausage casings to fill it up, tie it into starch sausages one by one, and put it into a large pot to cook until it is shaped.

After the starch sausage is shaped, it can be put into the machine for automatic baking. The time and temperature have been set. This is the simplest step.

"You can make more starch sausages at a time and store them in the refrigerator. You can take them out and bake them when needed." Jiang You said that it is really too troublesome to make starch sausages once, and people will definitely not be able to bear it if they make it every day.

However, as long as this kind of starch sausage is made with cleanliness and hygiene, and the raw materials are fresh, and the magic of sterilization is added to preserve the freshness, the starch sausage made in this way can be frozen in the refrigerator without affecting the taste at all.

After teaching the starch sausage, it was time to make egg waffles. However, with the machine, the only challenge was memorizing the various proportions for the batter. Jiangyou had Xiaerli watch a demonstration, then practiced making it himself. Finally, while eating the egg waffles, he memorized the recipe, and Xiaerli passed the test with ease.

In this way, all the big and small matters in the store are basically arranged.

"The menus and flyers are being printed, as are the bamboo cups and water bags for milk tea. They'll be delivered tomorrow, along with the mascot. Our business license won't be ready until tomorrow, and we'll also need to apply for a nearby Royal Academy of Magic Raven Cage for takeout," said Takumi. "We're tentatively planning to officially open in three days. Tomorrow you'll be in charge of making the disposable baskets, and we'll start our soft opening the day after tomorrow."

She planned to stay at the Royal Magic Academy for a few days. If any problems were discovered during the trial operation, they could be promptly corrected. Once everything was on track, she could relax and return to Eston West with Andre to continue her major renovation of the brewing workshop.

Dimitri and his wife were a little nervous. After this lecture, their brains were like sponges that had been filled with so much water in a short period of time that the slightest shake would squeeze out all the knowledge.

——No wonder the salary for this job is so high, it is indeed a lot of work and the requirements are high... but with so many benefits, they have to grit their teeth and learn all these things!

"You two can review and consolidate your knowledge tonight," Jiang You smiled at them gently. "Tomorrow is reserved for you to move and settle in. Just bring in your daily necessities. I'll also be here to help set up the store. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

"The day after tomorrow, you two will start the trial operation. I will be supervising from the side. If we find any problems, we will correct them in time. You two don't need to be too stressed."

Jiangyou actually wanted to write down all the process specifications and hand them over to his employees, but his employees' literacy level was a bit low. In addition, such written records were too easy to be leaked, and these snacks could be easily copied. By then, the entire "university town" would be full of fried chicken and milk tea shops, and it would be difficult for them to make money.

——Although it is impossible to avoid being imitated forever, at least in the early stages of opening a store, you should try your best to recover the costs.

There were two sets of keys to the store. Jiangyou kept one set for himself and gave the other set to the couple. Then he happily took his boyfriend's thick arm and prepared to go to the hotel to rest. By the way, he could also stroll around this "magic university town" and have a short date.

This "Lich's Snack Shop" uses the name of Takuyou, but the actual owner is Andrei. As a newly promoted viscount, Andrei's title is more reassuring. Besides, aristocratic properties enjoy tax benefits in places like the Royal Capital and the Royal Magic Academy. By registering the shop under Andrei's name, tax costs can be significantly reduced!

This shop is a collaboration between Takumi and Andre. While the recipes and ideas naturally came from Takumi, it was Andre who handled all the complexities of acquiring the magic machines, the raw material factory, the storefront, and the licenses. Takumi paid for the rent and renovations, while Andre covered all the raw material costs for the first month.

The two of them walked out of the store and clapped their hands in unison. "Shall we split the profits equally?"

"That's natural."

The stingy young couple once again reached an agreement tacitly.
