Chapter 103 I like your customers

There are no chicken farms nearby now, and the transportation of frozen chicken is not as developed as it is in later generations. There is no stable chicken supplier. Can we rely on purchasing from nearby?

But a chicken is so expensive nowadays. Hens are used to lay eggs, and rooster meat is old. How can it be delicious if it is just fried?

"Xiao Hang, what are you thinking about with your head down?" Zhou Xiaoli's voice brought Hang Jingshu back to reality.

"It's nothing. Let's go check it out together tomorrow when we have a day off." Since it's a fried chicken restaurant, we have to go check it out no matter what.

Zhou Xiaoli was very happy to hear Hang Jingshu agreed: "Sure, sure! I'm going to wear my new dress when I go out tomorrow!"

After the pre-exam, students were given two days off. The school also understands that people cannot be too coddled and should relax when necessary.

Hang Jingshu is of course no stranger to fried chicken, but he still has to give a thumbs up to anyone who dares to open a fried chicken restaurant in a small city.

Be courageous and have spirit.

Of all businesses, selling food is the most troublesome. Not only does one need a business license, but one also needs a health permit. In addition, the cold chain is not well developed today, so the investment cost is much higher than that of an average small business.

At the school gate, Hang Jingshu saw Wang Silan pushing her bicycle and waiting at the gate as usual.

Hang Jingshu waved goodbye to Zhou Xiaoli and Lin Xiao, then ran to Wang Silan and said, "Mom, it's so hot, just wait under the tree and get some sun."

Wang Silan took out a bottle of cool orange soda from her cloth bag and handed it to her: "Mom, it's not hot. Drink it quickly. I just bought it."

This happened the same way these past two days. Hang Jingshu took a few sips of the drink before passing it to Wang Silan: "Mom, I can't finish it~"

"This child!" Although Wang Silan complained about her daughter, she couldn't control the curve of her mouth. The mother and daughter shared the bottle of soda and drank it all.

After drinking, the mother and daughter returned the bottle and rode home. Today, Grandma Yan specifically told Hang Jingshu not to come back to cook and to have a good rest for two days.

The mother and daughter first went to the farmers' market to buy vegetables. There are now a wide variety of vegetables. The loofah, gourd, and beans are already edible, and there are also crispy and tender cucumbers.

The fruit in season right now is strawberry, which is available from mid-May until June. But you have to be extra careful when buying it, otherwise you will only have strawberry jam to eat when you get home.

The strawberries are small in size, but they have a rich, sweet and sour flavor.

By the end of June, the strawberries will become smaller and smaller. After buying them home, people don’t eat them directly. Instead, they add rock sugar and boil them into strawberry jam to eat.

Drink it with water or spread it on steamed bread slices.

As for the bread?

To put it in adult terms, it's just steamed bread! There's no difference.

There were freshly killed chickens in the market, and Wang Silan happily picked a four-pound one: "Your father should be home today, let's make fried chicken."

Now that we have money at home, we no longer have to look forward to eating meat every month. Now we can eat it whenever we want.

A free-range chicken cost 80 cents per pound. The mother and daughter carried the chicken, bought some side dishes, and rode their bicycles home.

The sunset glowed brilliantly in the sky. Hang Jingshu was carrying a schoolbag and holding a bag of strawberries in his hands. When the mother and daughter arrived at the courtyard, Hang Renshan had already returned.

"dad!"

"Hey! Girl!"

Wang Silan parked the car before speaking: "I'm back. How's the farm going?"

Hang Renshan was wiping the mud off his bicycle. Hearing this, he stood up and replied, "It's pretty good. Wang Fuqin often helps us pull weeds, and the wheat in the field is also pretty good."

There has been enough rain this year, so we don’t have to worry about watering the fields. The sight of the lush green wheat fields makes people feel happy.

Hang Jingshu soaked the strawberries in the kitchen first. Nowadays, strawberries are not sprayed with much pesticide, but they still need to be washed twice.

The bright red strawberries in the basin made people salivate. Hang Jingshu washed them and brought them over: "Mom and Dad, take a break and have some strawberries."

Hang Renshan also finished wiping his bike and took the strawberries from the young lady. He took out a few candies from his shirt pocket and said, "Ni, eat them."

Hang Jingshu used to have one piece for each of his parents, but now that conditions at home are better, they no longer have to share the candy and can just buy as much as they want.

Thinking of the fried chicken shop, she asked casually, "Mom, I heard from my classmates that there's a fried chicken shop on Jianguo Road?"

Wang Silan's face turned unhappy when she heard the lady mention this: "Yeah, I don't know where she learned it from, or what it's called, Korean fried chicken."

Hang Jingshu was slightly startled when he heard the name. In his previous life, Qi Shaoming and his two children loved eating Korean fried chicken the most.

But the ingredients and oil used in fried chicken shops outside were not good, so Hang Jingshu learned how to make it for them and even made the sauce himself.

Now, is there fried chicken in that little Gada place?

The name of this store...

"Is it selling well?"

This is the issue that Hang Jingshu is most concerned about.

Wang Silan paused for a moment before saying, "It opened yesterday. I really didn't know."

"Xiaoli, let's go there tomorrow to take a look."

Hang Jingshu was really curious. She remembered that the first KFC chicken restaurant in Beijing was opened in 1987, and a set meal was sold for 7 yuan at that time.

But they are a foreign brand, and with the buff, they also started a fried chicken craze in China.

The first Old Beijing American-style fried chicken restaurant in Fengcheng was not opened until 1990.

At that time, a super-large fried chicken leg was sold for 5 yuan. Those who did not have the means at home did not dare to walk through that street, for fear that their children would cry and make a fuss for fried chicken.

The older students would pool their money to buy fried chicken legs, and when eating, they would have to decide how many bites each person should take. If anyone took more bites, there would be a fight.

The old-fashioned fried chicken is lightly coated with flour and sprinkled with cumin and chili powder before being served. It tastes not juicy but crispy and chewy.

The surface was a beautiful brown color, with thick layers of cumin and chili powder hanging on it, filling his mouth with fragrance. Hang Jingshu turned over on the bed, unable to think about it anymore!

The next day, Zhou Xiaoli wore a white dress with red polka dots and a braided headband of the same color. She looked as enthusiastic and bright as the little sun.

Lin Xiao was wearing a sky blue dress and a goose yellow headband, and her temperament was gentle and energetic.

Zhou Xiaoli fluttered over like a butterfly, and seeing Hang Jingshu still wearing his previous clothes, she wrinkled her nose and suggested, "Xiao Hang, why are you still wearing pants? Go back and change into a skirt!"

Lin Xiao pulled Zhou Xiaoli to help out: "If Xiaohang doesn't like it, then don't wear it. Let's go over there and take a look. We can also go to Auntie Lan to pick something up."

When the three girls got there, they discovered that the so-called fried chicken restaurant was just a very small store. The entrance was quite busy, and they even hired a lion dance team to liven up the atmosphere.

But through observation, Hang Jingshu found that there were many people watching the excitement at the door, and most of them asked about the price and then turned around and left.

I only saw the price when I got closer. A large chicken drumstick was 5 yuan, and chicken wings were even more expensive at 8 yuan a pair!

This price makes many people grit their teeth and be reluctant to buy it.

Yesterday I bought a whole free-range chicken for only RMB 3.2. After comparing the two, Hang Jingshu understood why it looked lively but not many people bought.

These people did not leave after seeing the products, but instead went to shop in Wang Silan's store. When they came out, they were all smiling and carrying things.

Hang Jingshu: …

I don't understand your idea, but I like your customers!
