Rebirth 83: Hundreds of billions of net worth, starting from setting up a stall

Li Cunxi bought five chickens and a bunch of materials and returned home.

The fried chicken restaurant's name, decoration, equipment, main food supply channels, outer packaging, tables and chairs are basically done.

I went home early today, bought some chicken, and tried making fried chicken. If the taste is good, I can set a date for opening and prepare follow-up publicity matters.

I remember that the first KFC opened in Beijing in my previous life only served original chicken, mashed potatoes, and vegetable salad.

At that time, original chicken was the main dish, and the name followed the local customs, so it was called hometown chicken.

As for burgers, they were only available at KFC around the 90s.

Although he can make burgers, since there is no supporting production line for sauces and burger embryos, the manual production output is small and the cost is high. Therefore, the burgers are paired with set meals and are supplied in limited quantities.

The main dish is fried chicken.

Cut the chicken into pieces, wash and marinate.

He didn't know KFC's recipe, but he could roughly reproduce it from memory.

The base flavor of fried chicken in situ is pepper, so black and white pepper is indispensable, followed by salt, MSG, sugar, garlic powder, shredded ginger, oregano, and a little white wine.

For spicy flavor, add some ground chili powder and Sichuan peppercorns.

As for the chicken wings, make them Orleans style.

The essence of Orleans is a combination of sweet and spicy flavors. Each restaurant has its own ingredients, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s authentic or not.

80s material limited.

He also used local ingredients, chili powder, black and white pepper, onion powder, allspice, oregano, coriander seeds, garlic powder, white vinegar, sugar, a little starch to thicken it, and put it in the refrigerator for a while.

After that, mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and ketchup are all made from local ingredients, but the taste is very different.

Since there was no oven at home, he stopped making bread by himself. Before returning, he bought some old bread from a nearby supply and marketing cooperative to use as hamburger buns.

Worked until five o'clock.

People are coming to the family one after another.

Jin Wen and his fiancée Xiao Feng, Lao Jin and his wife, Feng Tian and his girlfriend Jiang Li, Wu Lei, Huang Yan, two bachelors, except Wei Dazhuang who was also delivering chicken on the road, Li Cunxi's early entrepreneurial partners and companions, were almost gathered in the living room.

After all, it’s a taste test, and the more people, the better.

“Orleans Wings.”

“Spicy fried chicken, original fried chicken.”

"Chicken nuggets with potatoes."

“Spicy chicken wrap.”

"hamburger."

"Chicken gravy and mashed potatoes."

.....

Jin Wen and Huang Yan put dishes on the table one after another.

Li Cunxi finally placed a dish of Kung Pao Chicken: "I was afraid that you might not be used to eating foreign vegetables, so I made an old dish."

Li Cunxi took off his apron and looked towards the door.

At this point, it’s time for my wife and daughter to come back.

"She looks good, makes money, and cooks well. My sister-in-law is really happy."

Xiao Feng chuckled.

Feng Tian's girlfriend Jiang Li nudged Feng Tian with her elbow and said softly: "Did you see that Mr. Li is not much busier than you? He still cooks for the family. It's better for you. Just like the uncle every day, let my mother take care of you." you."

Feng Tian's face twitched in pain, and then he smiled and said, "I will learn to cook in the future."

Li Cunxi saw it and knew that Feng Tian was seriously injured, but the other party didn't tell him, so he didn't need to expose it. He just smiled and joked: "It's not easy to cook. Let your man work in a fast food restaurant. I don't dare to say anything else. There’s nothing wrong with learning to fry chicken.”

Jiang Li is an employee of a clothing store, and she pursues Feng Tian.

As the saying goes, a woman chases a man, but there is a veil between them. The two of them came together smoothly and reached the point of talking about marriage.

Moreover, Feng Tian has another thing that makes his boss extremely envious, that is, Feng Tian's mother-in-law, who is also a foreigner, praises his brother-in-law to the heavens, and takes good care of him in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, making him closer than his own son.

On his side, although his mother-in-law's attitude is not as bad as before, she is not a good person either.

Jiang Lijiao smiled and said: "Mr. Li, you are the boss. Even if you ask him to clean the latrine, I have no objection."

"Who cleans the latrine?"

Bai Xiaoyan led Li Duoduo into the house.

"sister in law."

"sister in law."

The crowd shouted.

Although Bai Xiaoyan was surprised that so many people came, she still nodded with a smile and called Uncle Jin and Aunt Jin again.

As soon as Li Duoduo walked in, her eyes were caught by the big burger on the table. She stretched out her little fat hand and said, "Dad, I want to eat a hamburger."

"okay."

Li Cunxi picked up the burger and handed it to his daughter.

Li Duoduo was about to take it.

Snapped.

Bai Xiaoyan patted her daughter's little fat hand and scolded her with a straight face: "Call someone first, then wash your hands."

"Oh."

Li Duoduo responded, calling everyone he knew here, and after being introduced by Li Cunxi, he added "sister" twice. Before Jin Wen and Feng Tian's wife could praise her, the little girl couldn't wait to go to the bathroom to wash her hands. .

"Slow down, don't fall."

Bai Xiaoyan quickly followed.

Li Cunxi chuckled and said, "Everyone is here, let's sit down and eat. Remember to give us feedback after you're done."

Everyone sat down one after another and started eating with their chopsticks.

Jin Wen took a bite and his eyes lit up: "Brother Xi, this fried chicken is so delicious, crispy and tender."

"These foreign steamed buns taste really weird, but they're not unpalatable."

Lao Jin took a bite of the burger and commented softly.

Jiang Li also took a bite of the burger and said, "The white sauce is fragrant and sweet."

Everyone had a round, and almost all of them praised it.

Li Cunxi had already expected this. In the early 80s, people's food tastes were relatively single. Although the fried chicken burger was simple in craftsmanship, its complex taste was a new experience for everyone's taste buds, so it was difficult to find it unpalatable.

"Dad, burgers."

Li Duoduo ran out quickly.

"Give."

Li Cunxi handed the burger to his daughter and held her on his lap.

The little girl ate with big mouthfuls, her little head shaking.

When Li Cunxi saw this, he knew that his daughter liked him very much.

Now that it has been recognized by my daughter, a foodie, it proves that the children's market is very secure.

Bai Xiaoyan sat next to her husband.

Li Cunxi handed another burger to his wife: "Try it."

Bai Xiaoyan took a small bite, chewed it carefully, and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

"Try the chicken wings again."

Li Cunxi knew that his wife loved chicken wings, so he deliberately made two flavors: honey and Orleans.

"I want to eat too."

Before Li Duoduo could swallow the burger in his mouth, he shouted in a milky voice.

"Give!"

Bai Xiaoyan gave the chicken wings to her daughter and sighed.

Li Cunxi took in his wife's expression completely.

Does your wife have something on her mind?

There were guests here, so he couldn't ask in detail, so he could only pretend not to see it and continue to ask everyone's opinions on the chicken.
