After searching his memory for a while, Yu Hui finally matched the person with the name.
Jiang Cheng, my classmate in elementary and middle school.
After completing nine years of compulsory education, he went to Shenzhen to work by himself with his luggage.
Yu Hui never expected to meet him here.
"Jiangcheng? Do you own this shop?" Yu Hui asked.
"Yes, I worked hard in Shenzhen for five or six years and saved up some money, so I came back and opened a small shop."
"Why are you back? You were one of the top students in our class back then, and our homeroom teacher really liked you."
Jiang Cheng was also surprised to see the afterglow here.
Yu Hui smiled and looked at his old classmate, feeling a deep sense of warmth and familiarity.
Apart from looking a bit older, this old classmate looks no different from when he was in junior high school.
He just seems a bit more mature and composed?
He vaguely remembered that Jiang Cheng used to be the sleepiest kid in class, and all he did every day was eat and sleep.
Yu Hui told Jiang Cheng about his plan to set up a stall at home.
Jiang Cheng was surprised to hear this. He had always assumed Yu Hui was doing very well in the capital, but he never expected...
Why!
The pain of being a working person~
After chatting for a while, Yu Hui finally remembered the important matter.
"Oh dear, look at my memory, I forget the important thing as soon as we start talking." He patted his head. "By the way, do you have any free-range chickens that are about five or six months old? Seven or eight months is fine too."
"Free-range chicken?"
Jiang Cheng paused for a moment, then walked to a cage.
"These cages are full of free-range chickens."
Yu Hui frowned as he looked at the dozen or so chickens in the cage.
These chickens are compact in size, with large and upright combs, clearly genuine iron chickens, not those injected with speed-growing drugs.
For now, these dozen or so free-range chickens are enough to last a day, but as orders increase, there may be a situation where supply cannot meet demand.
Jiang Cheng, who was standing to the side, seemed to notice Yu Hui's worry and spoke up:
“You don’t need to worry about not having enough free-range chickens here. My uncle raises chickens in the village. His chicken coop is 1,100 square meters and he raises nearly 20,000 chickens.”
"so much?"
"That should be enough."
Yu Hui nodded in satisfaction and smiled at Jiang Cheng.
"Old classmate, I'll be buying from you from now on. Could you give me a discount?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and then said, "It's 35 yuan per jin if you buy it individually, but it's 25 yuan per jin if you buy it wholesale. As an old classmate, I'll give you 20 yuan per jin!"
"make a deal!"
"Then give me 60 jin first!"
Yu Hui was quite happy that his old classmate agreed so readily.
Tomorrow is the first day of the trial operation. He is worried that if he buys too much, he won't be able to sell it all, and if he buys too little, the supply will fall short of demand.
Taking everything into consideration, he plans to buy 60 jin (30 catties).
A serving of braised chicken requires about 0.5 jin (2.25 catties) of chicken. 60 jin (30 catties) can sell 120 servings, which should be enough.
"Okay!"
Jiang Cheng nodded, took the chicken out of the cage, and weighed it.
"A total of 11 chickens, weighing 62 jin (31 catties), is that alright?"
"Can."
In Jiangcheng, poultry shops slaughter chickens fresh, and each chicken weighs a different amount; it's impossible for them to be exactly 60 jin (30 catties). It's normal for them to be a jin or two heavier.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately began slaughtering and plucking the chicken.
A moment later, he bagged all the chickens on the processing table and looked at Yu Hui again.
"Brother Hui, your chicken is ready, it'll cost you 1240 yuan."
"Okay!"
Yu Hui nodded and took out cash from his bag.
Cash on delivery.
Yu Hui loaded all 11 free-range chickens onto the tricycle, then turned the key and drove away.
......
There are two ways to climb to the top of Chuanshan Mountain: one is by climbing stairs, and the other is by taking a mountain path.
Chuanshan has reinforced the guardrails on two more roads.
As long as you don't do anything reckless, you're basically safe.
Although Yu Hui was aware of this, he was still a little scared when he actually rode his tricycle on the mountain road.
It took Yu Hui three hours to finally ride to the top of the mountain.
For his own safety, he deliberately slowed down this time and carefully made his way to the top of the mountain.
If I get used to hiking on mountain roads, it might be much faster.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, he transported all the ingredients to the staff dormitory.
The monthly rent of 3,000 yuan includes the stall fee and staff dormitory.
This staff dormitory is designed to make it convenient for everyone to set up stalls and prepare ingredients on the mountaintop.
The dormitory is a one-bedroom apartment, not too big or too small, just enough for one person.
Yu Hui moved his personal belongings over a few days ago, and he'll be staying here tonight.
He counted all the ingredients and then put them in the refrigerator.
To maintain the best flavor, after much hesitation, Yu Hui decided to start preparing the ingredients tomorrow morning.
With nothing to do, he picked up his phone and opened the most popular MOBA mobile game.
"Zhang Liang, where's your ultimate? Yao, give me a shield! Why are you running away!"
"Lanling King, be careful! Li Bai is coming from the other side. Don't let the Dragon be stolen..."
"What a bunch of terrible teammates, did they play with their feet?"
After playing several games, Yu Hui was really tired of either playing Yao without providing a shield or playing Zhang Liang without using his ultimate skill.
"Why!"
He sighed and tossed his phone onto the sofa.
Ding-dong!
Just then, the mechanical voice rang in Yu Hui's ears again.
[Ding-dong, mission issued: Sell 100 servings of braised chicken rice tomorrow. Reward: Portable storage space, divine recipes for braised pork belly and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.]
Portable storage space: As the name suggests, it's a separate space that can hold all your food and keep it fresh. With this space, you'll never have to worry about food sitting out overnight again.
One hundred servings of braised chicken rice?
Based on this level of difficulty, it would require approximately 50 kilograms of chicken.
This time we prepared 62 jin (36 catties), which is more than enough ingredients.
As long as there are enough ingredients, Yu Hui doesn't want to go down to buy any more; the mountain road is too scary.
As for the issue of foot traffic, he wasn't too worried.
......
the next day.
At dawn, the sky was just beginning to lighten.
The alarm clock rang on time. Yu Hui rubbed his eyes and struggled to get out of bed.
Today is the first day of setting up a stall, so we can't let our guard down.
He went to the kitchen, chopped the side dishes, and then began to prepare the braised chicken.
Yu Hui plans to first braise the chicken and then put it in a thermos.
Whenever a customer comes to buy, all you need to do is put the side dishes in, then add a spoonful of the original sauce and chicken pieces.
This greatly reduces the food preparation time.
Let's get right to it.
Yu Hui tied on her apron, washed the side dishes and chicken, and picked up a cleaver to start chopping.
Thump thump thump...
Thump thump thump...
For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of chopping vegetables.
After working for more than three hours, the braised chicken was finally ready.
Yu Hui loaded all the tools and ingredients onto his stall cart, got on, and leisurely rode towards the food street...
