Chapter 101 Fried Chicken
Author: cool beauty
Of course Xiao Fang didn't think that her sister was not worthy of Yan Hong.
On the contrary, she felt that Yan Hong was too young and not suitable for her sister.
But she just didn't know how to speak. If her sister had no other thoughts about him, but after listening to her reminder, she noticed him instead, then she would be the one regretting it.
Anyway, she struggled with it for a while and forgot about it when she got busy the next day.
Zhao's Fried Chicken opened on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month near noon.
Those who were passing by suddenly noticed that at the entrance of the alley next to Zhao's restaurant, there were two large oil pans emitting oil, and the overbearing aroma soon spread out.
Nowadays, the houses are not next to each other, but they like to leave a small alley of about one meter for walking around at will.
Their family has a good relationship with the Huang family. There is an alley about 1.5 meters between the two families. After Zhao Laosi greeted Boss Huang, he placed the frying pan at the entrance of the alley.
It's not that he doesn't want to build illegal buildings, but that although the road here is newly built, it is only five meters wide.
Moreover, almost every house now has something to pile up at the door. If the Zhao family placed it directly outside the store, they would be afraid that passing bullock carts, tractors, and trucks would hit it.
Now the entrance of the small alley can fit two large briquette stoves, so they can stand in the alley, which saves space. There are two walls to block them, and they don't even need to surround them with plastic sheets.
The fried chicken is marinated early in the morning, and Xiao Hong and Zhao Laosi are frying it in the back.
Xiao Fang and Zhao Feifei were outside greeting customers who were attracted by the smell: "This is fried chicken specially learned from the provincial capital. It is full of chicken."
"The price in the provincial capital is five yuan per catty, but when we open today, it only costs three and a half yuan per catty."
“The fried chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so delicious!”
Xiao Fang put the plate in front of the person: "You can try one piece first!"
Although the price is indeed prohibitive, the overwhelming smell of fried chicken still makes people reluctant to leave.
What's more, Zhao's Braised Meat is already famous in the town.
Nowadays, most people want to save face and are thin-skinned. If they are reluctant to buy something, they will not try it at all.
I feel it would be too shameful not to buy something after eating it.
Therefore, customers who tried it were willing to buy a pound or two to go back and have their teeth cut.
The charm of fried chicken is that it makes people want to eat it again.
Especially nowadays, people like heavy oil and meat. Although the price is a bit expensive, when you take a bite, the outside is fragrant and crispy, and the chicken inside is so tender that you can't stop eating it.
Some customers bought a pound of fried chicken and originally planned to save it for drinking at noon, but the children at home couldn't help smelling the aroma, and each of them ate it deliciously.
His mother complained to her son on the side: "You are such a spendthrift, you really don't know how to make a living. I can also make this oily dough, so why buy it outside?"
The son was impatient to listen to the conversation, so he simply picked up a piece of fried chicken and stuffed it into his mother's mouth: "Who said this is fried noodles? This is fried chicken."
When his mother finished eating, she pushed him out immediately: "Quickly, go buy another two kilograms and come back. Someone is coming to see your sister today. It's time to add another dish at noon."
When the man went to buy again, he found that there were already ten people in line in front of him, but he was so anxious that he stopped Xiao Fang who was holding a basin of batter and asked: "Will there be fried chicken when it's my turn?"
"Yes!" Xiao Fang was so hot that she started to sweat: "Brother, let me go. Let me go in first."
Originally, they planned to continue selling in the afternoon if they couldn't sell it at noon.
But now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are a lot of people coming and going on the street, especially a non-staple food department store opened diagonally across from their house. Most of the customers who go in to buy New Year goods are willing to spend money. Seeing so many people surrounding the stalls here, I feel so sad in my heart.
I like to get together and get together. As soon as I came over and smelled the fragrance, I planned to buy it back to try it and add some dishes.
Most of the first customers to buy fried chicken came from better families and were willing to give their children a piece first.
Today's children are all free-range. When they have good things, they love to show them off to their friends.
When he stood among a dozen children, slowly enjoying the delicious fried chicken, he really made all his friends cry with greed.
The children cried and went back to ask the adults to buy fried chicken.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, adults have more taboos. Children are not allowed to say "die" if they are told to do so. If they say "beat you to death", the adults will wipe their mouths with rough paper.
Don't let the children cry either, as it makes them feel bad.
Those who are willing to give up can only 'spend money to ward off disasters', and those who are reluctant can only take out candy, rock candy, biscuits, etc., and block the children's mouths.
As a result, the Zhao family didn't have to think about how to publicize it, and more and more customers came to buy fried chicken.
Poor Xiao Hong, she stayed in front of the oil pan all the time. Not only was she sweating from the hot oil, but she also felt like she was being soaked in the smell, and it was ready to be served after being deep-fried in the pan.
They started selling at half past nine, and because they were slow at first, they were busy for more than three hours, and all thirty pieces of fried chicken were sold out.
Xiao Fang kept explaining to the customers who came to buy fried chicken: "I'm sorry, it's a trial sale today and it's sold out. Come back at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Zhao Feifei, who stayed to help, also experienced the joy of doing business.
She watched the fried chicken being taken out one by one, and she also saw the money being received by Xiao Fang into his pocket one by one.
It turns out that making money is not very difficult.
It's just that the gap between the poor and the rich is too big. My parents were so poor that they didn't even have the courage to see it.
She was glad she stayed.
Her mother had persuaded her to go back and raise chickens together yesterday. She also said that her uncle's business was not doing well and she could not help him if she stayed. It was not good for him to eat for nothing.
But she is a young girl who loves beauty, and she has no desire to feed chickens, shovel chicken poop, and collect eggs every day from now on.
She felt that she had found a job. The Xiao sisters would go to school after the winter vacation and her aunt was about to give birth, so she could stay and help.
You will definitely not feel wronged at my uncle's house. You can eat well three meals a day and live well. Where can you find such a good job?
Therefore, after finishing work and having lunch, she also helped to clear away the dishes very diligently.
Zhao Laosi looked at Xiao Fang and asked, "Shall we count the money?"
Wu Julan believed in not revealing wealth, so she quickly said: "Anyway, there won't be any guests now, so everyone will go upstairs!"
After saying that, he asked Yanyan to stay and look after the store, and the four adults went upstairs to count the money.
Xiao Fang reported the total: "A total of five hundred and twenty-eight five!"
Zhao Laosi and his wife took a breath of cold air and asked in unison: "Is it a majority? Maybe we counted it wrong. Please count it again!"
They feel that they have been doing business for the past six months, and they are quite knowledgeable. Who would have thought that in just a few hours today, the money they make can almost catch up with the store's income for more than half a month.
This time, the couple couldn't even believe it themselves, so they simply asked the sisters to count again, and they just stared at them and counted silently in their hearts.
