Chapter 240: Kung Pao Chicken
At noon, it is the busiest time for Jingcheng Avenue. The fastest time to update the peddlers and pawns who passed here, the merchants who came and went, and the officials of the next dynasty were hungry and waiting for the rice to eat, which was also the best time for the restaurants around here.
The shopkeeper of Fushun Restaurant greets the men as usual, and the chef prepares for lunch, and this time of day is the busiest time for them, just like a war, the diners are endless, and they are so busy that they can't stop on the ground.
But today is strange, there are very few customers who enter the store, and after waiting for a long time, only a few customers come in to eat.
"What's going on? Is martial law in the whole city today, why are there so many people? "Shopkeeper Chen can't figure it out when he breaks his head.
"Shopkeeper, come out and take a look, there is a queue outside the welcome restaurant today, and hundreds of people are lined up here." The guy from Fushun Restaurant ran over and reported.
"How is that possible?" Shopkeeper Chen didn't believe it in his heart, this welcome restaurant was about to be squeezed by himself, and he was usually deserted to death, how could there be so many guests, is it a guy talking nonsense?
When Shopkeeper Chen ran to the side of the road to take a look, his mouth was open enough to fit an egg, and there were hundreds of people queuing in front of the welcome restaurant.
The people in line posted one by one, for fear that others would come and cut the line. When a guest came out of the restaurant, there was a shout outside: "Is it my turn?" Is it my turn? ”
"Hell, what the hell is the welcome restaurant doing? Haven't these people eaten? They all ran to his house. Shopkeeper Chen rubbed his eyes and looked at this scene incredulously.
I only heard the guy at the Welcome Restaurant standing outside the door with a pot of vegetables, and kept shouting: "The long-lost palace dish Kung Pao Chicken, today's Welcome Restaurant is dedicated to contribution, limited to 1,000 copies." It's outdated, come and take a look. ”
Yang Xiaoshan on the side covered his mouth and snickered, this is a gimmick made by himself, he took out the home-cooked food from his previous life, Kung Pao Chicken is available in almost every restaurant, and it is also a dish that he often eats, and he will cook it himself.
But in this day and age, no one has ever eaten this dish. Since the other party is trying to beat themselves with price, you can't fight a price war with them, and you can only turn over by creating new dishes. No one has it, the pricing power is in their own hands, and the profit is huge.
Usually a dish like this only sells for 20 yuan, but this Kung Pao Chicken, Yang Xiaoshan is priced at 100 yuan, because everyone has never eaten it, and it is sold for innovative money. Yang Xiaoshan also learned the hunger marketing of Xiaomi in his previous life, and asked all the relatives and friends around Fujin to line up, causing a huge momentum. People have blind obedience, and when they see others queuing, they think it's a good thing, and people who don't know why will come to line up together.
The merchant surnamed Liu, who finally entered the restaurant, couldn't wait to taste this kung pao chicken, and was immediately conquered, and said again and again: "It's delicious, this chicken is so tender, the peanuts are crispy, and the spicy flavor is strong, I have never eaten such a delicious dish." The businessman surnamed Liu was full of praise.
The businessman surnamed Li opposite him said while eating: "I just heard their guys say that this is the private dish of Chang Gongzi of the monk's mansion, and his ancestor is Chang Yuchun, the founder of the previous dynasty. ”
"The welcome restaurant was lucky to get Chang Gongzi's help. This dish is really delicious, but it is a bit expensive, and it costs 100 copper coins. Someone interjected.
"Can court dishes not be expensive? Don't be afraid to taste it. Someone retorted.
"Are you coming tomorrow?"
"Come on, I've never eaten such a delicious dish, come and line up early tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, come early and queue up, it's gone if you're late."
"I usually eat in Fushun, but today I came to welcome the guests, and their dishes seem to be more and fresher, and I have never noticed it before."
"When you say that, it's true, I haven't compared it before. Today's comparison, the dishes of Fushun are really not as good as this welcome restaurant. ”
"It seems that the dishes of the welcome restaurant are still high-end."
"Can the restaurant food of the monk king's family be bad?"
。。。。。。
Everyone talked about it, and their favor for the welcome restaurant suddenly increased, and Kung Pao Chicken became an instant hit.
"Auntie, you're really good, I've never seen so many guests at the Welcome Restaurant." Hexiang admired Yang Xiaoshan so much that he threw himself to the ground.
"I also want to thank you, it was you who helped find so many trusts to queue up, and then each person will be given 200 yuan, and then bring a kung pao chicken home to eat, remember to come back tomorrow." Yang Xiaoshan said boldly.
"I thank my aunt for them." Hexiang said happily, their monthly money is only two or three hundred yuan, and there are so many in line, and the eldest aunt is really generous. At this time, the subordinates around Fujin finally raised their eyebrows.
Yang Xiaoshan was not too happy, he calculated in his heart, although this Kung Pao Chicken Ding was an instant hit, it was still not enough to earn 10,000 yuan in eight days. Excluding the cost, you can probably earn more than 100 taels of silver a day, and more than 1,000 taels of silver in eight days, which is much worse than 10,000 silver.
"Auntie, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Yang Xiaoshan didn't speak, Hexiang asked.
"Although this Kung Pao Chicken is very profitable, I'm afraid I still can't make enough 10,000 taels in the remaining eight days, we still have to think of ideas to see if there is any other way to make money." Yang Xiaoshan pondered.
"There are so many people, isn't it enough, so what can I do?" He Xiangman thought that this kind of formation would definitely be able to earn enough, but Yang Xiaoshan told her that it was not enough, and he was very disappointed.
"Don't worry, earn this money now, there will always be a way." Yang Xiaoshan comforted Hexiang and said.
Now Hexiang wants the eldest lady to marry him more than Yang Xiaoshan, where can I find such a good uncle? It's simply a god who turns stones into gold.
On the second and third days, Yang Xiaoshan gradually didn't have to queue up, and the reputation of Kung Pao Chicken was completely started in the capital, and the threshold of the welcome restaurant was about to collapse. Those who have money and those who don't have money want to try this court dish, Yang Xiaoshan increased the supply, and strictly blocked the recipe of this dish, the seasonings are all prepared by himself at night, and a chef in the kitchen has a process, and no one can make this dish alone.
The ninth day was almost over, Yang Xiaoshan calculated the money he made, which greatly exceeded his expectations, a total of 2,100 taels of silver, but 10,000 taels was still not enough, which made Yang Xiaoshan anxious, seeing that the deadline was coming tomorrow, he still didn't come up with other ways to make money.
"Auntie, an official in the elegant room upstairs wants to see you." At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly ran to report.
"Oh? Take me to meet me. Yang Xiaoshan was curious, what kind of official wanted to see him.
Yang Xiaoshan walked quickly into the private room, and a young man stood outside the door, looking a little strange. Yang Xiaoshan didn't care either, and went directly into the elegant room.
"Captain Chang, disrespectful and disrespectful. In Xia Ding Baozhen, he is currently walking in the household. The officials in the private room reported to themselves.
"Ding Baozhen?" Yang Xiaoshan was startled, dizzy, he actually bumped into the inventor of Kung Pao Chicken here, this Kung Pao Chicken Ding was actually created by Ding Baozhen in front of him, what should I do?
