Return to the small mountain village in 1986

When the KFC in the capital opened, it held an event, invited a yangko team, and had a lively opening ceremony. The entire third floor was hung with red banners, making it look particularly festive.

Gao Mingcheng was also planning to do it, but it would definitely not be as lively as over there. He would just hang up a few red banners, buy a few strings of firecrackers, and hand out some flyers and coupons, and that would be enough.

The fast food restaurant was scheduled to open on New Year's Day, which happened to be a holiday, and the streets were crowded with people, making it a good day for opening.

New year, new atmosphere. In the blink of an eye, 91 years has arrived!
Accompanied by the crackling sound of firecrackers, the first foreign fast food restaurant in the county opened!

There are not many KFC dishes in the capital, and there is only one set meal for 9.9 yuan: a serving of mashed potatoes, a salad mixed with shredded cabbage and carrots, two pieces of original chicken, plus a small carrot bun.

Drinks need to be purchased separately, and there are Coke, Sprite, Fanta, and beer to choose from.

The price can be said to be very high, and the food provided is not enough for an adult man to eat!
Therefore, when formulating the menu and prices, Gao Mingcheng made some adjustments, and the Cheers store launched a set meal for $6.60: a chicken burger, a serving of French fries, two pieces of original chicken, and a drink.

In addition, all dishes can also be ordered a la carte, but the total price of a la carte will be a few cents more expensive than the set meal, so it is more cost-effective to buy the set meal.

And if there are coupons issued by the store, you can save a dollar if you buy a set meal, which is even more cost-effective!
Gao Mingcheng gave coupons to people he knew and to children in the kindergarten. The rest were given out randomly on the street, relying mainly on fate.

These sales methods are actually far better than those used by many stores today, but for Gao Mingcheng, they are commonplace, so he does it instinctively.

In fact, these marketing methods and the decoration of the new store do give people a refreshing feeling. Many people really think that this is foreign food, Western food for foreigners.

On the first day of opening, the store's business was booming.

The set meal price of 6.6 yuan has stopped many people from coming, but there are also many people who like to try new things and come to experience it.

Although there was no need to queue up to buy, it was still crowded, which made Gao Mingcheng regret not putting tables and chairs on the second floor.

Fortunately, he provides some paper bags for people to take away, but most people want to dine in the store because it creates a better atmosphere.

While Gao Mingcheng asked someone to buy some tables and chairs, he took out his camera and took pictures of the precious scenes.

Xuanyuemei, who was slightly pregnant, also helped out in the store. She was in charge of the cashier, and the other employees were responsible for serving the dishes.

Gao Mingcheng was standing by and took a picture of Xuanyuemei doing the cash register. Xuanyuemei heard the click, looked up, and said with a smile, "Mingcheng, are you done taking the picture? Go to the kitchen quickly. I see Xiao Liu is already busy."

Xiao Liu is a young man in his early twenties. He is responsible for the work in the kitchen. In fact, foreign fast food does not have high requirements for chefs, because it mainly serves fried chicken and French fries!
As long as you master the time for frying chicken and French fries, there will be no problem. Now it still needs manual control, but in the future, the oil temperature can be directly controlled by computer, which can maximize the quality of food.

Gao Mingcheng put away his camera and walked towards the kitchen.

Xiao Liu was indeed very busy. It was a very cold day and he was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Small beads of sweat were appearing on his forehead and nose.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming in, Xiao Liu, who was busy frying chicken, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Boss, if I'm this busy every day, I can't handle it alone!"

Gao Mingcheng understood what he meant. He took out the marinated semi-finished products from the freezer and said, "Got it. If business continues to be so busy, I'll hire someone else to do the job. You continue to fry, and I'll make the burgers!"

After the two of them divided the work, the food was served much faster. Gao Mingcheng was busy making hamburgers and pouring Coke.

Gao Mingcheng also specially asked someone to go to the provincial capital to buy paper cups for Coke. One bottle of Coke can hold two cups, but the price of one cup is the same as that of one bottle!
Just change the packaging and you can make half the money!
Gao Mingcheng was busy in the fast food restaurant for the whole day, and the day was finally over only when most of the semi-finished products in the freezer were used up.

After the two employees cleaned up the store, they left work.

Gao Mingcheng counted the remaining quantity and calculated in his mind how many white-feather chickens he should buy later.

At this time, someone drove a tractor over. It was the furniture store who brought him tables and chairs. There were customers in the store before, so Gao Mingcheng deliberately asked the furniture store to deliver them later.

Gao Mingcheng helped move the tables and chairs to the second floor. The second floor was not specially decorated, but it didn't matter. Gao Mingcheng also prepared some posters and newspapers. The newspapers were old newspapers that recorded the news of the opening of KFC in the capital and Shanghai.

These news are reinforcing everyone's understanding of foreign fast food, and subconsciously making them think that Cheers, like KFC, is a foreign Western restaurant.

With this understanding, the store’s image has been established.

Gao Mingcheng was busy on the second floor. He didn't go downstairs until everything was ready. As a result, when he went downstairs, he saw the rolling shutter door was half open. Xuanyuemei was sitting in the seat, supporting her chin with one hand, and she was drowsy.

Pregnant women sleep a lot, and today has been a busy day, so it’s no wonder that many beauties were so tired that they fell asleep.

At this moment, Gao Mingcheng felt a little distressed. Worried that Xuanyuemei would catch a cold, he put his coat on her shoulders.

However, Xuan Duomei was not completely asleep. As soon as she put her coat on her shoulders, she woke up instantly. When she saw Gao Mingcheng, she said in a daze, "Are you done with your work?"

"Now that we're done, let's go back and rest!" said Gao Mingcheng.

Xu Xuanmei gently twisted her neck to sober herself up a little, and said, "I can't go back yet, my son is still in the kindergarten."

Gao Mingcheng said irresponsibly: "What are you afraid of? Just let him sleep over there. He has a place to sleep anyway!"

"This is not good..." Manyi Mei hadn't finished speaking when the sound of Gao Mingcheng pulling down the rolling shutter was drowned out.

After closing the shop door, Gao Mingcheng took Xuanyuemei's hand to his car and drove back home.

On the first day of 91, when Gao Mingcheng returned home to rest, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. This seemed to mean that Gao Mingcheng was very busy this year.

It was indeed very busy, because three months later, on the evening of April 1st, Gao Mingcheng's youngest son was born!
The youngest son has a handsome face. Anyone who sees him would praise him for being handsome. In his previous life, the youngest son’s name was chosen by many beautiful people, with the single word “Jun” in his name.

Gao Mingcheng looked at his little son who fell asleep after drinking milk, and muttered to himself: He is indeed very handsome!
The birth of his youngest son added more burden to Gao Mingcheng's shoulders.

It’s not the burden of earning money to support the family, but the burden of raising children!
In his previous life, the eldest son was an honest man. Although a little mediocre, at least he was well behaved and never caused any trouble in his life.

But what about the youngest son?
That is simply too much to describe!

So when his youngest son was born, Gao Mingcheng was mentally prepared for a long battle, and also decided to temporarily put his business plans on hold.

As long as there is enough money, it's fine.

The wealth that Gao Mingcheng has accumulated is enough for his family to live on for several lifetimes if they don't spend it on prostitution, gambling or drugs!

There are several stores in public, and these stores are like hens that lay golden eggs, bringing Gao Mingcheng huge profits every day.

Privately, Gao Mingcheng also collected some antiques and jadeite. If the antiques were sold now, they would not be worth much, but after waiting for ten years or so, one antique would be enough for him to live a carefree life for decades!
In addition to these, Gao Mingcheng also has a small villa in the capital.

After calculating his own wealth, Gao Mingcheng looked down at his ignorant little son and said softly, "In this life, I will personally educate you and see if you will follow the old path! If you dare to follow the old path, don't blame your father for being rude!"

Little Junjun smacked his lips, tilted his head and continued to sleep, not wanting to listen, the turtle was chanting! (End of this chapter)
