Chapter 325 Business Map (Two in One! Please subscribe!)
The two slices of exquisite white bread look particularly soft, with black and white sesame seeds sprinkled on the crispy crust.
Georgia watched as the chef behind the counter skillfully sandwiched a golden fried chicken nugget between two slices of white bread.
Then came lettuce leaves, tomato slices, onion rings...
Although Georgia was just watching there, the rich aroma of fried chicken had already lingered in his nostrils.
It looks like...
There is a lot of oil...
In later generations, such meals would certainly be criticized for being too greasy, but in this era, fried foods like this are definitely a good thing.
If it were on a normal day, how could the Idar people, who were used to eating coarse food, come across a single drop of oil?
Or in other words, except for the nobles, everyone in this era is starving!
so……
As Georgia saw the big pot full of oil, she almost drooled!
No wonder it’s so expensive…
How can it not be expensive to use so much oil? The fast food restaurants of nobles are different!
"Would you like takeout or dine-in?"
Earl Dale had already satisfied his pleasure and had retreated to the back, and the one doing the inquiries now was the clerk at "Uncle Dale's".
"Is there any difference between these two?"
Georgia stared blankly at the boiling oil not far away, and had not yet come to her senses.
"Dine-in means eating in the store, and take-out means we pack the food for you to take back home," the clerk explained patiently.
"Takeout, I'm going to take it back..." Georgia replied quickly.
This set meal for two looks like a good thing. I must take it back for my wife and children to try. It would be a waste if I finish it all here.
Georgia couldn't bear to buy herself such expensive food.
He carefully opened his pocket, counted out the copper coins carefully, and handed them over with some heartache.
The clerk just put the rather warm meal into a bag and placed it in Georgia's hand.
Smells good...
Georgia couldn't help but look inside the paper bag. Wow! Even the fries were fried into a very pleasing light golden color, with dots of oil shining on them.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, he carefully grabbed a burger and took a small bite.
First comes the unique softness and firmness of white bread, followed by the fragrance of vegetables and salad dressing.
And between the two leaves, the crispy fried chicken almost made Georgia stand there in a daze for a moment.
Since I was so big,
He had never eaten anything so delicious before! He simply restored the thin paper wrapped around the burger, pinched the opening of the paper bag, and then walked out carefully.
The moment Georgia stepped out of the door, the people of Idar immediately gathered around her and moved closer to her curiously.
Although Georgia covered the paper bag containing the takeout tightly, the aroma of fried chicken and French fries was already lingering among the crowd.
It smells so good...
This is almost the first thought in everyone's mind.
"Is it expensive? Is it delicious?" someone shouted beside Georgia.
"It's expensive, but worth it! There's white bread! And chicken! Most importantly, it's full of oil!" Georgia's tone was quite excited, and he emphasized:
“This is the first time I’ve eaten something so delicious!”
Hearing this, many people present no longer hesitated and rushed into Uncle Dell's store.
Compared to the daily income of Idar people, this price is indeed a bit expensive.
But the problem is,
They didn’t hear anything else, they just heard one word - plenty of oil and water!
At most, you can eat one less fish this month or slaughter one less chicken next month, and the money you need will be saved, right?
then,
More and more Idar people began to line up in front of the store.
Seeing the crowds of people coming and going in front of the store, Earl Dale was naturally happy.
"This business is a success!" he said excitedly.
But at this moment, a voice like pouring cold water came from behind Earl Dale.
"It is normal to have such a situation on the first day of opening. The key is to see whether this situation can be maintained in the next week or even a month!"
Count Dale turned around and found that Bruno was standing behind him.
"Your Excellency the Duke!" Earl Dale bowed slightly and paid respect to Bruno: "I didn't expect you to come..."
"Just arrived! Came in through the back door!" Bruno waved and smiled.
In fact, Bruno has been here for quite some time. He has been quietly watching the people of Idar who are queuing up and walking into the store to order food.
The purchasing power demonstrated by the people of Idar has actually far exceeded Bruno's original expectations.
According to his original idea, business travelers and mercenaries traveling to and from the city of Idar are the main consumer group of "Uncle Dale".
After all, those guys have money in their pockets and consume a lot of energy, so they will definitely like this high-calorie food.
But what he didn't expect was that the Idar people also showed their impressive purchasing power at this moment.
It's not just Uncle Dale's fried chicken shop. Ever since Bruno entered the city of Idar, almost all the shops have been crowded with people.
Bruno saw the shadow of a giant city in the city of Idar.
"This may have something to do with the lack of variety of goods..." Bruno murmured.
The wages of Idar people have increased, and the per capita disposable income has also increased, but to be honest, the variety of goods available for Idar people to choose from has not increased significantly.
In short, the Idar people have little money to spend except on food.
so……
This means that people have accumulated a lot of spare money, which they can use to try and buy some new things.
“Cluck, cluck—”
The two little ones held in Avril's arms seemed to smell the aroma of fried chicken. They woke up one after another from their sleep, flapping their wings to make their presence felt.
Earl Dale had not noticed the two little ones in Avril's arms before. He was obviously startled when he suddenly heard the cry of the little griffin.
As a knowledgeable noble, Earl Dale must be familiar with griffins.
Not only did he know that this was an extremely powerful magical creature, he also knew that it was the guardian beast of the Stuart family, the rulers of the Principality of Idar!
"Keep an eye on them and don't let them eat anything else. Go back and get some raw meat and bones for them," Bruno warned.
"Oh!" Avril agreed crisply.
"Where is Earl Berry?" Bruno turned and asked Earl Dale.
The main purpose of his visit this time was to discuss the matters of the textile factory and the Jenny machine with Earl Bailey, and to understand the people's sentiments at the same time.
But after being here for a while, I still haven't seen Earl Bailey.
“Yes!”
Earl Dale stretched out his hand and pointed to the kitchen inside.
I saw Earl Bailey, wearing a chef's hat and a large apron, concentrating...
Frying French fries...
For a time,
Bruno felt extremely confused.
This script is obviously wrong!
You know, Earl Bailey is also one of the shareholders of "Uncle Dell".
Although I have been weakening the power of the nobles, I won't let you sneak here to be a cook, right? If all the nobles of the Principality of Idar were as friendly as Earl Dale and Earl Berry, and not at all domineering, how could I highlight my brightness and greatness and my dedication to the people? "This guy is... a cook?" Bruno asked in disbelief.
"this……"
Earl Dale seemed a little speechless. He pondered for a moment before speaking, "Earl Bailey said... Miss Jenny likes to eat French fries. He wants to practice his French frying skills here, so he gave the original cook a day off..."
Bruno: (╬▔皿▔)╯
"Bailey! The Duke is here!"
Hearing Earl Dale's shout, Earl Bailey quickly wiped his hands off the apron he was wearing and came over with a smell of French fries.
"Your Excellency the Duke, are you looking for me?"
"I plan to open a textile factory. Since I'm using the technology you developed earlier, you'll be considered a technical shareholder." Bruno got straight to the point.
"That would be great!" Earl Bailey was very excited.
"I will invest, and you will contribute technology, and own 20% of the shares..." Bruno offered a very tempting condition.
"Twenty percent? Isn't that too high?!" Before Bruno could finish his words, Count Bailey waved his hand.
What is the use of technological progress?
Neither the nobles nor the common people of this era had apparently ever thought about this question.
Therefore, faced with Bruno's offer of up to 20% of the shares, Count Bailey was obviously a little confused.
"I haven't finished yet." Bruno said seriously, "This 20% of the shares is not for nothing. You need to improve and enhance the Jenny machine in all aspects!"
"For example, today's Jenny machine is a new type of spinning machine with a spinning wheel driving eight vertical spindles, but this is definitely not the highest efficiency that the Jenny machine can achieve! You need to increase the production efficiency of the Jenny machine as much as possible, or even find other sources of power besides manpower!" Bruno added.
Of course, Bruno can also directly use the system mall to spend brilliant points to tinker with a more efficient loom.
But one must eat one bite at a time. Since Count Bailey already has experience in developing the Jenny machine, he might as well entrust this task to him. In this way, Bruno can also use his limited Brilliance Points where they can be used for greater purposes.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Duke! You can leave this matter to me!"
Although Earl Bailey has a love-minded mind, he is very clear about serious matters.
Hearing this, Bruno nodded involuntarily. "Once the Jenny machine is fully operational, the cloth produced by the Principality of Idar will have a crushing advantage in terms of quality and cost. Not only the Principality of Idar, but also the Norman Empire, the Kingdom of Basel, and even the entire continent will be dominated by the cloth produced by the Principality of Idar!"
Listening to the grand blueprint described by Bruno, both Earl Bailey and Earl Dale could not help but open their mouths in amazement.
It sounds really awesome!
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
There were little stars in Earl Dale's eyes.
Bruno knew what Woolley Dennis wanted to say at a glance: "The same goes for 'Uncle Dale'. Don't just focus on Idar City or Idar Principality. The whole continent is the stage for Idar people! One day, 'UD' branches will be spread across every city on this continent!"
Not even just this continent! Bruno added in his mind.
Hearing this, Earl Dale was also excited.
As he got to know Bruno better and better, Earl Dale knew deeply that Bruno's words had never been exaggerated. No matter how incredible they were, they would eventually become reality in the near future.
Going beyond the Principality of Idar, Uncle Dell opened branches in the Norman Empire and the Kingdom of Basel...
The moment Bruno finished speaking, the idea had already taken root in Earl Dale's heart.
…
Kingdom of Basel.
With Ernie Mphela being taken away and Harley Santa Cruz missing, the "Wine War" that lasted for several months has come to an end.
Moore Wine's sales model can be said to be a great success.
Under the influence of inventory pressure, almost all Basel nobles and chambers of commerce that intend to enter the wine market will choose to sell wine from Moore Wine Industry as their first choice.
After several months of continuous encroachment, except for the private plots of the southern nobles of Basel, almost the entire wine market of the Kingdom of Basel was completely controlled by the wine from Moore Wine Industry.
Moore Wines first sold its exquisite wines to local chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Basel at preferential prices, and then used the power and channels of these chambers of commerce to sell the wines throughout the Kingdom of Basel.
In this way, although the profit that can be obtained from a single bottle of wine has been compressed, the overall sales volume and profit of wine have been greatly improved.
But this is not the most important thing!
The most important thing is that this sales model has tied a large number of Basel nobles to Moore Wine Industry, or the chariot of the Principality of Idar, providing the Principality of Idar with a stable commodity sales channel! You know, the commodities owned by the Idar people are not only wine.
Moreover, as the number of goods increases and the amount of trade involved increases, the ties of interest between the Idar people and some Basel nobles will become stronger!
For example, now
With the arrival of the first batch of cigarettes from the Idar Cigarette Factory at the Idar Chamber of Commerce's warehouse in Hallitburg, the new products prepared by the Idar people for the Basel market have been stocked.
As soon as Julian Heaton gives the order, these cigarettes will be continuously delivered to various noble territories in the Kingdom of Basel, becoming a new profit point for the Principality of Idar.
No more today, I wish you all a happy International Youth Day!
