Return to the small mountain village in 1986

When the time enters June, the first thing that greets us is not the scorching sunshine, but a heavy rain.

The heavy rain lasted all day and night. After this rain, the water in the village's reservoir will inevitably be full.

On rainy days, it is inconvenient for customers to go out to buy goods, so merchants naturally have to be free, so the men play mahjong and the poker players, and most of the women gather together, chatting about the gossip of each house. Doing the work at hand, some are knitting sweaters, and some are knitting knitted slippers.

Our ancestors once said: No one talks behind anyone’s back, and no one talks behind anyone’s back. It can be seen that the history of Bagua has a long history.

In the past few days, Gao Mingcheng did not play cards with others or gossip among the crowd. He began to think about making burgers again.

Hamburgers are an important staple food in Western fast food. The previous fried chicken recipe is almost complete. It may not be comparable to authentic Western fast food, but... his recipe is definitely more suitable for local tastes!
Even if there are a few fashionable people who have been to big cities, tasted authentic KFC, and come back to eat what they made, they may still say that this one is better.

The burger is made of two slices of bread, a piece of fried chicken, some lettuce, tomatoes and other seasonal vegetables, and served with salad dressing.

Theoretically, the method is very simple, but fast food is the kind of food that is convenient to eat.

After the chicken breasts and chicken legs are marinated and fried, they can be sandwiched in burgers. In addition to chicken, steaks, pork chops, etc. can also be used.

However, beef is expensive, and the breeds of domestic cattle are different from those abroad. Domestic beef is more suitable for stir-fry and stew. Therefore, Gao Mingcheng does not plan to make steak-flavored burgers for the time being.

They say it’s better to cook it cooked than raw. Naturally, the first burger Gao Mingcheng made was a chicken drumstick burger!

The day after the rain, Gao Mingcheng went to the market and bought some white-feathered chickens. He had agreed in advance to have them killed and brought to the store.

The man was also happy to help with the slaughtering, because in the process of slaughtering, he could get chicken blood and feathers.

In an era when supplies were scarce, these were also good things. Chicken blood could be eaten by oneself, while chicken feathers could be sold for money.

Nowadays, there is a kind of hawker who specializes in exchanging chicken feathers for sugar. He first buys a handful of sugar, and then walks around the streets or villages, shouting "Chicken feathers for sugar!" ~
When the children playing outside heard this, they would immediately run home and give the dealer the chicken feathers they had saved in exchange for candy.

Generally, people who love their children are willing to let their children eat candy in exchange. If they are not willing to exchange candy, they can also exchange it for a cent or two.

The chicken feathers obtained in exchange are used by the factory to make feather dusters.

The feather duster is very useful. It can sweep dust and spank children. It has two uses!
After getting the chicken, Gao Mingcheng first disemboweled it and put all the internal organs in a basin. Gao Shufang was responsible for cleaning out the internal organs.

Chicken giblets and stir-fried peppers are a great dish to go with rice and wine!

On the chopping board, Gao Mingcheng skillfully cut the chicken with his knife. The chicken necks, heads, and feet were all thrown into a basin. He first cut off the chicken wings, chicken breasts, and chicken legs respectively. Cut the remaining chicken carcass into two parts and put them together separately.

Because we are making burgers, we have to remove the bones from the chicken legs, leaving only pure meat.

After cutting, it is pickled.

It takes time to pickle and taste. Taking advantage of this time, Gao Mingcheng got on his bicycle and prepared to go to the bakery on another street to bring back the buns he had ordered.

The bun is round, about the size of an adult's hand, but not very thick.

The size and thickness were what Gao Mingcheng needed, so he paid the bill readily and said that he might continue to order this kind of bread in the future. To this, the bakery owner naturally agreed with a smile.

After getting the bread, Gao Mingcheng planned to eat one first. He controlled the handle of the bicycle with one hand and ate the bread with the other. The sunshine in June was shining down, and the sky that had just rained was blue, like a flawless piece of bread. sapphire.

When you meet familiar people along the way, say hello one after another. In a society of acquaintances, the relationship between people will become closer.

Returning to the store with a bag of bread, Gao Mingcheng started processing it again. The bread had to be cut in the middle and divided into two.

The so-called burger consists of two slices of bread, fried chicken and vegetables in the middle, and seasoned with salad dressing.

This look is so clever and sophisticated. But they had never seen many beauties, let alone tasted them, so they were surprised by them.

At noon that day, no one in the store cooked anything, but instead had burgers and fried chicken!

Gao Mingcheng made three kinds of burgers in one go, namely chicken leg burgers, chicken chop burgers, and pork chop burgers!
The food at home is good, and they buy one or two kilograms of pork every day. This pork was bought in the morning. Gao Mingcheng cut out two pieces of pork chops, marinated them, and fried them like fried chicken.

They are said to be three different burgers, but in fact they taste very similar, because except for the fried meat, the bread, vegetables, and salad dressing are all the same.

Oh, when marinating the meat, in order to take care of Xiao Xuxu, Gao Mingcheng specially marinated two non-spicy chicken legs.

Jiangxi people like to eat spicy food, so Gao Mingcheng came up with two spiciness levels, one is medium spicy and the other is extra spicy, both of which are very suitable for local tastes.

After the burgers were freshly baked, Gao Mingcheng handed the prepared burgers to everyone, and he also picked up a chicken drumstick burger and ate it.

He had eaten one piece of this bread when he first bought it. Now when he eats it with fried chicken legs and vegetables, he feels that the bread is a little cold due to the freshly fried chicken legs.

Well, Gao Mingcheng remembers that the burgers in foreign fast food restaurants are even hot!
The freshly delivered burger has the aroma of wheat bread, meat aroma of fried chicken, vegetables and salad dressing, giving diners a rich taste experience.

Gao Mingcheng was nitpicking and thinking about how to improve.

However, many beauties praised him one after another, saying that the burgers made by Gao Mingcheng were delicious.

Even Xiao Xuxu ate most of the hamburger to save his dignity, but he didn't like lettuce, so he picked out the lettuce and threw it away.

Because he threw the lettuce on the ground, Gao Mingcheng gave him a warning with a knock on the head and told him that if he didn't eat it, he couldn't throw it on the ground but throw it in the trash can!

Xiao Xuxu seemed to understand, but his eyes followed the trash can pointed by Gao Mingcheng. When he ate lettuce again, he ran to the trash can and threw the lettuce in.

"Well done, great!" Gao Mingcheng grinned and praised generously, which earned Xiao Xuxu a happy giggle.

Many beauties saw that they could not waste things. She knelt down and said to Xiao Xuxu: "If there is food you don't like to eat, give it to mom. Don't waste it!"

Xiao Xuxu looked at Gao Mingcheng, and then at Duo Mei. He seemed unsure who to listen to, but he instinctively loved his mother more, so he nodded obediently and said, "Okay."

Gao Mingcheng disagreed a little and felt that the child should not be spoiled, otherwise the child would be accustomed to thinking that the mother should eat the leftover food.

It's just that Gao Mingcheng's theory has been refuted by many Americans.

The rebuttal was just one sentence, but it was quite destructive: "He is still young!" Many beauties resorted to the killer move of "He is still young" and said: "What's the use of saying this now? When he grows up, Of course you’ll know!”

Many beauties protected little Xuxu, and little Xuxu nestled proudly in her mother's arms. Gao Mingcheng felt that his fist had become hard.

It seemed like he had to keep a closer eye on this home.

Although the eldest son was too honest in his previous life, at least he had good conduct. Don't spoil him in this life because of spoiling him!
Gao Mingcheng glanced at the beautiful and flat belly. In a few months, his youngest son will also be ready to take a trip to the world!

The burgers made by Gao Mingcheng have been well received by everyone, but Gao Mingcheng feels that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

In addition, if you really plan to open a foreign fast food restaurant, in addition to the food formula, you also need a stable supply of ingredients.

Such as white feather chicken, bread, lettuce, etc.

In addition to these, Gao Mingcheng also needs to think about how to deal with the excess chicken offal, chicken necks, feet and other parts when a large amount of white-feathered chickens are used to make foreign fast food in the future?
If you eat these things once or twice, they are delicious, but if you eat them all at once, they are a bit too much.

At this time, Gao Shufang said: "Chicken feet, chicken necks, chicken offal, etc. should be marinated and then sold for money, right?"

When it comes to braised vegetables, Duo Mei has to say: "If you want to braised vegetables, just buy some dried tofu and braise them with eggs!"

Braised dried beans and braised eggs are also delicious!

You still need to spend money to buy dried tofu, but eggs are already available at home.

Gao Mingcheng nodded and felt that it could indeed be used to make braised vegetables.

Although braised vegetables and Western fast food are a bit different...

Gao Mingcheng said: "If you really open a store, you have to prepare the ingredients in advance. These ingredients need to be cut and pickled, which requires manual work. When summer comes, the weather is hot and easy to spoil, so they have to be stored in the refrigerator. ”

"There is also lettuce. Lettuce is afraid of heat and cold. It can be grown in spring and autumn, but it is difficult to buy it on the market in summer and winter. The quality of Western fast food is uniform, and we must be the same."

"Finally, there is the issue of stores. I am thinking whether to rent a store to try it out first or continue to buy land and build houses."

Gao Mingcheng said all the things that need to be considered and dealt with at present, hoping that everyone can work together to make suggestions.

Many Mei and Gao Shufang naturally spoke enthusiastically, and Zhang Jinling also said a few words.

She lowered her head, her eyes flickering, as if she was thinking of something.

When the topic came to an end, Zhang Jinling suddenly said: "Second brother, if you open a store, the store will definitely need a large number of white-feathered chickens. Look... how about buying it from my natal family?"

Zhang Jinling's family also owns a small piece of hilltop where they raise a lot of free-range chickens and make a lot of money every year by selling eggs and chickens.

But her family raises local free-range chickens, commonly known as native chickens.

Zhang Jinling noticed Gao Mingcheng's eyes looking at her. She swallowed nervously and said bravely, "Although my family has never raised white-feathered chickens, raising chickens should be similar. We can ask around and then we'll know how to raise them."

Under Zhang Jinling's nervous gaze, Gao Mingcheng nodded calmly and said, "If your mother's family is willing to raise chickens, as long as the chickens are okay, then I will definitely buy chickens from your family."

Gao Mingcheng thought there was no problem with Zhang Jinling's request.

If Zhang Jinling's natal family provides white-feathered chickens, he can better control the quality of the white-feathered chickens.

However, people nowadays only raise chickens on a small scale, so in addition to Zhang Jinling's family, he has to find other families to provide him with white-feathered chickens.

Now the dealer who sends him white-feathered chickens can naturally become a supplier of ingredients, but if they are not familiar with it, they may run out of stock midway, or there may be problems with the quality of the chickens, or because the foreign fast food business he opens is doing well, he will This price increase and other issues.

Don't put all your eggs in the same basket, and you can't have just one supplier of ingredients. He needs to make preparations for these before opening the store.

As for the store, after everyone’s discussion, we decided to rent a store first to start the business. If the business is good, we will then consider buying land and building a house.

If business is not going well——

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
In 87, the first KFC opened in the capital, and in 89, the first KFC was opened in the Bund Dongfeng Hotel in Shanghai. From then on, people in Shanghai have been queuing up to buy KFC!
The three words KFC seem to have magic power and have always been a hot topic among people. Many people save money just to have a meal at KFC.

When a child celebrates his birthday, he can use this as an excuse to persuade his parents to have a meal at KFC.

There are also young lovers, newlyweds, and fashionable men and women who are petty bourgeoisie and fashionable, all of whom are proud to have a meal at KFC.

At this time, only rich people can afford KFC!
As a foreign fast food and a novel food, it indeed brings a lot of yearning and joy to people.

There are only two KFC stores in China now, but with the franchise, KFC stores are blooming in the country like fireworks.

Every new store is destined to make money!

It was not until the market became saturated that the speed of making money and expansion gradually slowed down.

Gao Mingcheng didn't plan to join the franchise because he didn't have the connections and wasn't willing to pay the franchise fee. With that money, wouldn't it be better for him to buy land and build a house?

As for the KFC food, as long as he thinks about it, he can always make it 80% similar in taste, which is enough for him to open a local store.

Gao Mingcheng copied KFC's dishes while improving the recipes to make the food more suitable for local tastes.

In addition to food recipes, he also needs to find a suitable storefront, design store decoration, organize store opening activities, etc.

As for these activity plans, he doesn’t need to think about this, he can just copy it!
Gao Mingcheng can tell with his eyes closed what the unit price is, how much the package price is, how much you can buy as a small gift, what promotions are launched during the holidays, and what kind of activities you can give a small gift to when a customer purchases in the store on their birthday. Come out with a bunch of them.

He first wrote down everything he remembered, and then introduced it little by little through activities, focusing on a surprise.

Hmm, thinking about KFC's usual toy gifts, Gao Mingcheng thought he should also design a set of toys. When the time comes, you will get a blind box when you buy a set meal, and you will get a blind box when you spend any amount. These blind boxes are a set of their own. .

This kind of toy can stimulate children's interest in collecting! (End of chapter)
