Entertainment options were very limited in the 1990s.
Even though the spring outing organized by Hebei Vocational University was extremely boring, the students who got off the bus were still very interested in discussing what they saw and heard during the trip.
Bai Yejin was very anxious.
After getting out of the car, she ignored her friend Li Yanfang and, holding onto Lin Yifeng's sleeve, walked towards the gate of Hebei Vocational University.
"What's the rush? What's the rush!"
"With so many people watching from school, aren't you afraid of their gossip?"
Why should I be afraid?
Bai Yejin's ponytail swayed back and forth as she turned to look at Lin Yifeng, slightly unhappy: "Lin Yifeng, do you dislike me?"
What are you talking about?!
Why are you complaining?
Lin Yifeng didn't reply, and Bai Yejin continued, "Compared to your ex-girlfriend, I'm so unsophisticated."
"Tang Yuxia is so fashionable and beautiful."
Lin Yifeng couldn't respond to this topic, so he quickly changed the subject, his eyes darting around: "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"
Could it be...?
"Bai Yejin, do you like your fellow villager Tang Yuxia?"
"ha?"
Bai Yejin was dumbfounded.
How could a woman like another woman?
"No, I..."
Bai Yejin suddenly didn't know how to answer. She definitely didn't like Tang Yuxia, but if Lin Yifeng followed up by asking who she liked, how should she answer?
Should I just tell you I like you?
Who confesses their love like that?
In Bai Yejin's mind, to confess to a boy, she must write a very long letter, a letter that must recall every little detail between her and the boy.
Then, formally invite the boy out to a scenic spot for a walk and chat. When you part ways in the evening, confess your feelings.
Now...
Bai Yejin shook her head violently.
"See, I told you, those two won't run away."
At the entrance of Hebei Vocational University, Xu Qingyi and her younger sister Xu Wanxia stood not far away, holding an oven, quietly watching the people coming out of the school gate. The two silent and quiet people were out of place with the noisy students.
"1500 is the absolute minimum!"
Bai Yejin was no longer in a hurry.
She even tugged at Lin Yifeng's sleeve, trying to make him slow down.
Bai Yejin's little actions made Lin Yifeng want to laugh. Just a second ago, this little girl was pulling him and rushing towards the school gate.
After seeing the Xu siblings outside the school, she put on an act as if she actually trusted them.
As the twilight light fell, Xu Qingyi, carrying the oven, solemnly handed it to Lin Yifeng.
"Master, we have lived up to your expectations."
Wow, you can even use idioms! You must have gone to school.
"You got into a fight?"
Xu Qingyi had some dirt on her body, and there was a little blood on her right sleeve. Lin Yifeng checked the oven and found that the oven box was intact without any damage.
“There were a few petty thieves causing trouble on the bus, but luckily an older man stepped forward and I helped him out a little.”
"Be mindful of your actions; we live in a society governed by the rule of law."
Lin Yifeng smiled, and Xu Qingyi nodded and smiled as well.
"Come on, I'll arrange your accommodations and take care of some things for you."
Lin Yifeng handed the oven to Xu Qingyi, intending to take her to his rented storefront. Bai Yejin, who had been following him, suddenly spoke up:
"Lin Yifeng, I have class tomorrow morning, so I won't go. I've been running around all day, so I'm going to go back to my dorm to rest early."
With 1500 confirmed, Bai Yejin's heart finally relaxed. She waved goodbye to Lin Yifeng, and then turned back with a smile.
"Lin Yifeng!"
"Today is the happiest day of my eighteen years."
"Me too!"
Lin Yifeng is lying.
She swung her ponytail happily as she headed to the cafeteria. She only had 41 cents left, and she had to work hard to earn money so she could continue to treat Lin Yifeng to KFC.
...
Can you drive a diesel tricycle?
"You can learn it!"
Lin Yifeng was satisfied with Xu Qingyi's answer. He then turned to Xu Wanxia and asked, "Can you cook?"
"meeting!"
This was the first time Xu Wanxia had spoken; her voice was a little hoarse and very youthful.
"Okay, I'll show you around first."
Lin Yifeng took the Xu siblings for a walk around the neighborhood and also bought some ingredients.
The rented shop is not far from Hebei Vocational University and is about 50 square meters.
This shop was originally a barbershop, a mixed-use commercial and residential building. After Lin Yifeng brought back the ingredients, he started teaching Xu Qingyi how to make fried chicken by burning firewood.
"I'm planning to open a fried chicken and burger shop."
Lin Yifeng briefly told the two of them his purpose: "Qingyi, you will be in charge of procurement for the time being, and Wanxia, you will be in charge of production. I will recruit some people in a couple of days to be in charge of sales."
“You are among my first employees, and you are considered veteran employees. I will not pay you a salary, but I will give you some shares.”
Procurement, production, sales, and shares.
These four words touched Xu Qingyi's heart. He hadn't heard these words since he was laid off six months ago.
"Master."
Xu Qingyi opened her mouth, but Lin Yifeng waved his hand to interrupt her: "This is a new era, we don't follow this kind of thing anymore."
You can call me boss or store manager, it's up to you.
"Boss!"
Xu Qingyi changed her mind, and Lin Yifeng nodded slightly, continuing, "I plan to name this shop Wallace."
Wallace was the project Lin Yifeng chose for his second pot of gold.
In an era when there was only one KFC in the entire province, as long as Xu Wanxia's fried chicken burgers weren't particularly bad, it wouldn't be difficult for Wallace to become a nationwide sensation.
After briefly introducing his goals to the Xu siblings, Lin Yifeng began teaching Xu Wanxia how to make popcorn chicken, original recipe chicken nuggets, hamburgers, and other dishes.
Making fried chicken burgers isn't actually that difficult; the real challenge lies in choosing the ingredients.
The fried chicken burgers rely entirely on white-feathered chickens, but there are currently no white-feathered chicken suppliers in the entire Central Plains Province, so Lin Yifeng buys old hens.
Free-range old hens are an excellent choice for making soup, but using them to make chicken nuggets or similar dishes will make the meat a bit tougher.
If Lin Yifeng only opened one Wallace restaurant, none of this would be a problem.
If Wallace wants to expand nationwide, it must standardize its ingredients.
"As far as I can remember, there were already suppliers of white-feathered chickens in China in the 1990s, but I don't know if they were in Shanghai or Beijing."
"If we can't find a supplier of white-feathered chickens, we'll have to use yellow-feathered chickens as a temporary substitute."
The growth cycle of Sanhuang chickens is twice that of white-feathered chickens, which means that Sanhuang chickens are more expensive than white-feathered chickens.
Secondly, the meat of the Sanhuang chicken is slightly firmer than that of the white-feathered chicken. For Wallace, choosing different types of chicken means taking different sales routes.
For example, if you choose white-feathered chicken, then Wallace sells foods like popcorn chicken and crispy chicken drumsticks, which are fried in batter.
If you choose the Sanhuang chicken, then Wallace's menu features roasted dishes such as Orleans roasted chicken legs and honey-glazed roasted chicken.
