"Fast food?"

Zhou Fangyuan's words, this time it really made the couple confused.

Zhou's mother asked with a confused face: "Son, what does this fast food mean......

She knows the word fast food, and she also understands what fast food means, but she just doesn't understand what her son is thinking.

Zhou's father also followed by and asked, "Yes, son, our people here either go to the restaurant or go home to cook and eat by themselves, you let your mother make this fast food, is this okay?"

Maybe that's what they are puzzled about.

Beitong is a small city after all, the pace of life is very slow, if it is a big city with a fast pace of life, people will choose fast food for various reasons, which is understandable, but like Beitong...... They really don't understand.

Is it making breakfast? What does that have to do with bread and fried chicken?

"Dad, Mom, I didn't explain it clearly, you listen to me and talk about it," Zhou Fangyuan waved his hand neatly, he sorted out his thoughts and words, "When I say fast food, of course, I mean Western-style fast food, hamburgers, fried chicken, and French fries...... In short, what is in McDonald's, we will imitate it. ”

"But will that work?"

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were even more puzzled.

In the end, Zhou's mother asked, "Son, we roughly understand what you mean." But as you just said, people here still prefer to eat bread and rice, and for breakfast, everyone is also used to eating fried dough and tofu brain, and I am afraid that our people here will not accept these things. And isn't it a bit ...... for us to copy it like this?"

"A bit of plagiarism?"

This is the question that needs to be answered the least.

"Mom, we are full of noodle restaurants in Beitong City, fried dough and tofu brains on the streets, if you want to talk about plagiarism, what do these people say? We make Western-style fast food, and we must have our own brand, bread and fried chicken are also all over the streets in Europe and the United States, you have to ask who was the original inventor...... Mom, do you know who originally invented the fritters? So you don't have to worry about this kind of problem at all, what we want to do is a local Western-style fast food brand, which has nothing to do with McDonald's or KFC. ”

Zhou Fangyuan paused.

"Let's talk about demand, Mom, let me tell you clearly, these things are not sold to people like you in the first place. You are used to eating Chinese food, and of course you think that Western fast food is not delicious. But what about children? And if you think about it, Western-style fast food, hamburgers, fries, fried chicken, these things used to only be seen on TV, and less than one percent of the people of Beitong have eaten these things. If we start this shop and do it well enough, do you think kids who are my age, or younger than me, will be able to resist the temptation?

Yes, Western-style fast food is not just needed, there are too many things to replace. The only thing that can't be replaced is the freshness, Chinese catering is the ancestor of our Huaxia, people have been eating since childhood, although they are not tired of eating, but there is no freshness at all. What we are going to do now is the catering of 'developed countries', you say, those who have long wanted to taste it, and those who blindly follow the trend, can they resist this temptation?

If children want to eat, they will drive adults to eat, and if adults eat, they will drive more adults to eat. Dad, Mom, in any business, uniqueness is the most important. When no one in the market can imitate you or surpass you, you can make unimaginable profits. I used to make barbecued sausages like this, and I used to make Internet cafes like this, and now our family wants to make this Western-style fast food, which is to establish a foothold in Beitong all of a sudden. Even if someone in this market wants to imitate us, it will not be able to produce strong competitors in a short period of time. As long as we can really stand still and engage in some small activities or something from time to time, do we still need to worry about business?

Of course, since it is a 'high-end' Western-style fast food, our price cannot be low. If it's low, people will subconsciously look down on it. Not only can we not go low, but also high, and tell everyone that our thing is different from soy milk fritters, we are imported, so that people will enter our store even if it is based on vanity. ”

In order to strengthen his parents' determination and confidence, Zhou Fangyuan did not squeeze toothpaste out a little bit, this time he directly told all his plans. Although a lot of the minutiae were not said, the general things that should be said were said.

As for whether this Western-style fast food can make money...... Hehe, just refer to the appearance of KFC and McDonald's when they first entered China.

And Zhou's father and Zhou's mother have completely brought Zhou Fangyuan into his rhythm.

The two of them subconsciously followed his train of thought, and then completely fell into it. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this thing could be done, and considering Zhou Fangyuan's previous success, the couple suddenly felt that their confidence seemed to have increased a hundred times, and the previous problems were not a problem all of a sudden.

"So, Yangyang, what should Mom do next?"

Zhou's mother couldn't wait to ask.

"Our next step is to make fried chicken, which is a very important part of Western fast food, along with hamburgers and fries, but it is known as the Golden Triangle. In the case of fried chicken, we can buy whole chicken or buy chicken in a good category, the former is cheaper, the latter is more worry-free, and you can decide how to choose it when the time comes.

For the process of frying chicken, let's start with the sandwich in the burger. For the time being, let's divide chicken breast and chicken thigh, chicken thigh meat needs to be deboned, and chicken breast is relatively simple. In short, no matter what kind of meat is used, the part that is marinated before frying, mom, you have to figure it out yourself, anyway, you just want the chicken to be more tender and not so easy to get old. For the taste, add some pepper and salt, you can also add a little sugar, in short, just eat it and feel that the taste is just right, but you don't need too much flavor, but don't make it into stewed chicken.

Before frying, it should be coated with egg mixture, and also wrapped in breadcrumbs, breadcrumbs we can make homemade, just use the bread made by our own family, and knead it into slag after it is completely air-dried. In short, the final product must be golden and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, when can this be done, Mom, your fried chicken is considered to be passed. ”

Zhou Fangyuan is far from learning to cook, he himself has no cooking skills at all, such as fried chicken, he can't make difficult things, and fried chicken is theoretically more technical than bread, so he can't command blindly. I can only say some necessary requirements for my mother to experience for herself.

In fact, this thing may be simpler for Zhou's mother. After all, there are many fried parts in Chinese food, and how to make the meat tender is also the basic skill of making meat, which is much simpler than baking bread for Zhou's mother.

One is to use ready-made methods to transform it, and the other is to start from scratch, isn't it easy to see which of the two is easier?

I saw Zhou's mother nodding vigorously, looking full of confidence, which shows that this thing is really difficult, and it is not difficult for those who will not know.

In the following days, Zhou's mother began to practice fried chicken frantically.

One whole chicken after another was bought by her from the market, and then fried while training knife skills, and the first thing that was fried was ...... I can't bear to look at it. Zhou Fangyuan didn't have a dog at home, and there was really nowhere to deal with this black thing. In the end, it could only be sent into Zhou Fangyuan and his father's stomach bag, although the taste was not bad, but he got angry after eating too much fried food.

For a while, the father and son drank tea whenever they had time, and it was strong tea, and as a result, the tea leaves in the house were also consumed at an incredible rate.

However, just three or four days later, the fried chicken made by Zhou's mother began to look good, and in terms of taste, Zhou Fangyuan still proposed various modifications to her, and the taste was constantly moving closer to the familiar taste.

is that the number of fried chicken is getting more and more, so much that he and Zhou's father can't eat it anymore. But the cost of fried chicken is also much higher than that of hamburgers, and Zhou's mother was reluctant to give it to her fellow villagers for nothing this time, and in the end, Zhou's father used the rest day to send some to Zhou Fangyuan's aunts and uncles. What should I do? This is no longer a scale that a family of three can consume.

This time, Zhou's mother didn't retreat halfway, and I don't know if Zhou Fangyuan's persuasion really worked, or if Zhou's mother was about to do it now. In short, under the temptation of a bright future, Zhou Fangyuan and Zhou's father ushered in a week-long fried chicken hell after bread hell.

It wasn't until they were full of food and artillery that they couldn't even drink tea that Zhou's mother's fried chicken finally passed. Although it is impossible to really ask KFC or McDonald's, it is still okay to learn seven or eight points.

The fried chicken is followed by fries, and the fries are even simpler. It's nothing more than a few processes such as cutting, soaking, frying, freezing and frying, for Zhou's mother, who has mastered bread and fried chicken, this thing can be done with her eyes closed.

And the fries are the closest to the original, for no other reason than to be simple. In the last life, Zhou Fangyuan saw a lot of methods of homemade fries when he was on the Internet, as long as the simplified steps are re-complicated and slightly more consumed, is it still difficult to imitate ninety percent?

The Golden Triangle has all of them, and then it's time for the final seasoning part.

The salad dressing needed for hamburgers and the ketchup needed for fries are all available in the market, but there are fewer people buying them, so fewer people are buying them, and the prices are relatively higher.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, it's all in the trial stage, including the butter in the bread, if you really want to open a store, if the business is really good, it doesn't matter if you use butter. If you want to reduce costs, olive oil is also possible. The worst is that edible oil is fine, anyway, those differences in taste, ordinary people's tongues can't taste them.

Finally, on the 24th night since Zhou's mother started baking bread, a fast food consisting of hamburgers, fried chicken and fries was placed on the table, as well as Coke. There is just no ice, otherwise Coke with ice is king.

It is such a homemade Western-style fast food that will cost at least twenty or thirty yuan in later generations, and there is almost no difference in appearance, is placed on the table. A family of three gathered around the table and began a final discussion-

Who's going to taste it?
