Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

The next day, we continued to prepare the dishes. At first, we just used flour to coat the chicken breasts and fried them, but they were not crispy enough.

So Song Sanniang thought of bread crumbs. Bread crumbs are very simple to make. Just cut bread into grains, dry them, and then crush them. If there is no bread, use steamed buns instead. Sure enough, the fried chicken fillet tastes better.

Chicken nuggets are a little more complicated. You need to chop the chicken breast into a paste, add salt, pepper, five-spice powder and other seasonings to marinate, and then knead it into chicken nuggets.

Prepare a flour paste, dip the chicken pieces in the flour, then in a layer of egg liquid, then in the flour again, and finally in the flour paste before frying.

If the chicken breast you buy is not tender enough, you can also chop the chicken breast into paste and fry it like chicken nuggets. The fried chicken made in this way will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, tender and juicy on the inside, and crispy and fragrant on the outside.

However, Song Sanniang and her friends bought chickens individually. At that time, the chickens were all free-range chickens. They were tender chickens with fresh and fresh meat, so there was no need to go through so much trouble.

Everyone has come up with pepper and salt. Fried chicken and pork chops come in three flavors: original, pepper and salt, and spicy. The spicy version has Sichuan peppercorns added.

Chicken nuggets only have two flavors: original and black pepper. Song Sanniang also added chicken rolls and chicken burgers as the main dishes.

Chicken necks and chicken feet are not wasted, they can be eaten as salt and pepper chicken necks, fried chicken feet, or cold chicken feet.

The chickens we bought these two days were all used up. At first, Liu Zezheng and his friends were very happy to eat them, but as the new products gradually increased, they became sad when they were asked to eat more.

There was no other choice but to give it to the chefs working outside and ask them for their opinions. However, what opinions could they give? They could only say that it tasted good and their mouths were full of oil.

So everyone spent a few days getting familiar with the heat, and then prepared some seasonings for later use.

I started to study the taste of fried skewers again. If fried skewers want to taste good, the dipping sauce is very important, the heat is also very important, and the selection of ingredients is also very important. Song Sanniang doesn't like meatballs, starch sausages and the like.

So here, there is no such mess, the meat ingredients you choose are all genuine, including chicken, duck, fish, lamb, pork and other meats.

There are very few cows. Killing cows here is illegal because cows are important farming tools. Only cows that happen to die accidentally can be eaten. Of course, if powerful people want to eat them, they can eat them, but ordinary people can forget about it.

There are also various vegetarian dishes, cabbage, leeks, cauliflower, coriander, Chinese cabbage, mushrooms, lotus root slices, dried tofu, etc. Song Sanniang also discovered sweet potatoes, so there are sweet potato chips, sweet potato balls, and taro balls.

After preparing the materials, everyone started to try. In fact, everyone had experience and was able to control the heat.

However, it was difficult to make the seasoning. At first, it either had no taste or tasted strange. Song Sanniang remembered that she saw other people using the sauce for deep-fried skewers on an iron plate, which looked like curry.

But no matter how they cooked it, it didn't taste like the original. It took them three days to get the seasoning to taste acceptable.

Mix five-spice powder, cumin powder, cumin seeds, pepper and salt powder, sesame and other seasonings together, then pour hot oil on them. This will make the taste a bit decent.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, but during this period, everyone ate too much fried food and got acne. Some people even had blisters in their mouths. Everyone had to drink herbal tea to reduce internal heat.

How can you eat these things without drinks? There is no Coke or Sprite, but Chinese people have their own drink, which is sour plum juice. In the first three days, every time you order snacks, you will get a pot of sour plum juice.

During this period, the store has been completely prepared. We just need to wait for the floor to dry, the furniture to be delivered, other things that need to be installed, things that have been ordered but not yet taken, prepare the ingredients, and clean up before we can open for business.

Song Sanniang went to the furniture store. Master Tan was busy with the furniture in the store first, so the bunk beds were put at the back. When she went to ask, the furniture in the store was almost finished. Master Tan arranged to deliver the goods in three days.

So she went to the plaque shop, which had already been made. After picking up the goods, Song Sanniang went to the lantern shop, which had also been made. Song Sanniang carried the goods back to the store and put them there.

Wait about three days, and by then the ground will be dry and you can install the plaque and light sign.

She went out to order menus, cloth signs and flyers. The cloth signs were hung on the counter. After ordering, she notified Master Hong to help her install the plaques and light signs three days later.

Song Lao Er, Niu Lao San and the others went to get the tableware, charcoal stove and other things that Song San Niang had ordered before.

Song Ersao and her family just make various seasonings and then prepare ingredients. Things like taro balls can be made in advance and frozen.

Three days later, Master Hong and his team came to help hang up the plaque, covered it with red cloth, and then installed the light signs on the left and right sides of the store.

Song Sanniang paid Master Hong the bill. They had worked for more than half a month, and including all the materials, they spent a total of more than 120 taels.

Song Sanniang gave them a stack of coupons, telling them that if they came to eat during the first week of opening, they could get a 15-cent discount, and each table would get a free snack.

Master Hong happily accepted it and promised to come and support the store when the time comes. He even walked around the store and kept praising the beautiful decoration.

After seeing off Master Hong, Master Tan's people came to deliver the furniture. The huge number of vehicles attracted the attention of people on the street. Looking at the uniquely shaped furniture on the vehicles, everyone was talking about it.

The guys moved the different furniture to different areas and installed them according to Song Sanniang's request.

Master Tan came in person. Looking at the newly installed furniture and the brand new shop, his eyes lit up. He smiled and said to Song Sanniang,

"Miss Song, please say a few good words for me. These furnitures of yours were made in my shop, haha."

"Okay, I'll help you spread the word." Isn't this just advertising for him? Song Sanniang didn't have the old-fashioned idea of ​​keeping everything in her hands and not letting anyone know. She smiled and agreed.

"Also, I know you will be very busy with your opening recently. When you are not busy, come to my store and we can discuss the furniture, hehe."

Master Tan then told him his most important purpose, and Song Sanniang agreed. She paid Master Tan the final payment and then sent him away.

In the backyard, everyone was busy, but when they heard the noise of furniture being moved, they ran out to see what was going on and helped the guys move the furniture. After everyone left, they sat around and touched things here and there, showing great interest in the furniture in the store.

"I think it's very beautiful and bright." The aunt sat on a high chair and looked out at the street, then turned to Song Ersao and the others and said,

"Yes, the food we make is delicious, and the decorations in the store are novel, so business will definitely be good." My second aunt also said with a smile.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, some continued to work in the kitchen, and some started to help with cleaning, wiping all the furniture, sweeping the floor, and mopping it again.

The store will open the day after tomorrow. Song Sanniang didn't know whether Miss He could come, but she still wrote her a letter, telling her the opening time and inviting her as the owner. She also sent invitations to Huang Gui, Jin Fugui, Master Tan, and Master Hong.

Then the next day, everyone went out to hand out flyers. Of course, Si Niang and the other kids stayed in the store. Everyone carried a messenger bag filled with candies and flyers, and they dispersed to different streets to hand out flyers.

People like Niu Laosan who are quiet will let people like Qin Haodong who are good at speaking go with them. With candy, even if people don't want to pay attention, they will reluctantly take it for the sake of the candy.

The flyer is equivalent to a coupon. Of course, the discount given to Master Hong and others is not as big. It is only five or eight cents, randomly given, and when you order a snack, you will get a glass of sour plum juice for free.

"Le'anfang Sweetie will open tomorrow. There will be discounts for all customers. When you enter the store, you will get free sweet snacks. Look, everyone." Song Sanniang waved the flyer in her hand and shouted,

When someone passed by and saw someone who looked friendly, he would take out some candy and pass it to the person. When the person took it, he would hand out the flyers.

Following her were Liu Zezheng and the other two. At first, the three of them stood there like wooden figures, watching with envy as Song Sanniang distributed half of her flyers.

Seeing them like this, Song Sanniang had no choice but to lure them with money. She gave each person fifteen cents for distributing all the flyers. The three of them shamelessly followed Song Sanniang's example and gradually got the hang of it.

My aunt and the other four women didn't need to be taught. They just kept saying things like, "Sisters, ladies, brothers, and young men, come here, we'll give you some candy. Our store is about to open, and you can use this receipt to get some food and get some free drinks. Take a look," without repeating themselves.

Maybe the joy of the store opening diluted the fatigue. After distributing flyers all day, everyone did not feel tired when they went home at night. Everyone cooked a good meal for themselves in the store, and then went back to rest and prepare for the opening tomorrow.
