Chapter 57 Opening of the Chamber
On the day of the official opening, the Gary family got up early in the morning. The bread is ready to be baked. Originally, the bread was prepared the day before, and although the soup method was used to lock in the moisture, the taste was always worse, but now that there is a store, of course, it is freshly baked and sold.
The oven is deliberately located closest to the kitchen front, and a new door is specially opened in front of the oven to heat the oven and dissipate heat, and secondly, to let the flavor of the freshly baked bread waft out. It's like the smell of coffee in front of a coffee shop.
When it gets dark, Gary and Erica start to bake the bread, the two kids can't help yet, but Kaichi has already figured out what to do.
They're going to hand out flyers. It's where Gary sells bread every day. Kaichi and Donna hand-copied about a hundred flyers for the opening of their new store, and it was a hassle to not have a printing shop. Although Jia Yi understands the principles of movable type and block printing, it is too exaggerated to build a printing factory just to print a leaflet.
The paper here is still quite expensive, and the paper I bought is a full page, about a meter long and half a meter wide. Kaichi cut it into 24 sheets, which is about the same size as 32k paper. It's not that Jia Yi is stingy, it's really that paper is not cheap, he bought 5 pieces of paper, spent almost 2 and a half silver slots, and the average is almost 50 copper pieces of paper. And the quality of this paper is not bad, it is slightly better than straw paper.
Although Gary had informed the customers when he was selling bread a few days ago, there were still people in the morning who did not know and went to the old place to buy bread. There are always some people who are behind others in terms of news.
The two stayed there for a while, then put two flyers on the wall next to them, and went to other places to hand out the flyers. In fact, the effect of Jiayi's pair of leaflets is not certain, mainly because there are too few of them. But it was too expensive to distribute more leaflets, sell more paper, and hire someone to copy it.
Speaking of which, the quill is used for copying here, which is not easy to write, and if you are not careful, you will pierce the paper, and if you use more force, the feather will bend. In particular, the quills are not cheap, although the workmanship is more fine, the feathers used are not ordinary feathers, but they are more expensive than paper, and they are not just a feather, and the goose feathers and goose feathers are very different. If you want to be cheaper, you can only do it yourself.
Jiayi only felt the pit after using it, and he was used to writing with branches on the sand table, but he was not used to using this weak quill pen. It's that Donna is better than he uses, and the handwriting is better than Jiayi's, although Jiayi knows more words, but this is also talented.
The two handed out flyers on the street, which indicated the location of their store, and especially used large-character signs to say that the new store was opened and the price was greatly reduced. In fact, the town is only so big, and many people know about Jia's new store, but they don't know much about the price reduction, and this time the leaflets are not in vain.
After handing out the leaflets, the two returned home, and by this time, there were already many people queuing up at the shop at the door. Before I even entered the house, I smelled a strong smell of bread. The bread is already freshly baked.
After Kaichi and Donna returned, Donna helped sell bread, and Kaichi started his own new product.
First of all, he took out the prepared beef, cut it into square slices, put oil in the pan, and fried it until it was 7 or 8 ripe, he preferred to cook it a little more. Then I added a little wine, which was supposed to be red wine, but I didn't have it at home, so I replaced it with ordinary ale wine. After adding the wine, add the minced garlic and shallots, salt, and cook until the juice is reduced. Next, cut a slice of bread and sandwich the fried steak in it, add cabbage and onion rings.
That's right, that's the burger.
This is not the main thing to sell, mainly because Jiayi is lazy, and it takes time to fry one by one, and the burger with steak is dozens of coppers a piece, but there is not even a seat. There are no such people in the town who spend a lot of money, most of them are calculating.
Even in the Lord's Palace, there is more brown bread when ordering bread, and bread with honey is only ordered during the holidays.
In addition to burgers, Kaichi also made sandwiches with bacon, bread with cream filling, and bread with honey filling. These are all materials prepared two days ago, processed yesterday, and made today.
These spiced breads are not sold, but given away by the event, and the on-site lottery is drawn. How can there be no event?
"Boss, how do you sell these buns with meat?" Someone couldn't help but ask when Jia Yi's prepared burgers and other new varieties of bread were put on the table.
When Kaichi heard this, he said, "This one with steak is 25 copper, and this one with bacon and honey is 20 copper, and this one with cream is 15 copper." ”
"So expensive?"
"This is such a thick slice of beef, and the beef is cooked in a special way, so it tastes even better. Jia Yi said that every merchant is like this, saying how good their things are.
"That's too expensive. ”
Jia Yi said: "I knew that you would be too expensive, we don't sell these breads today, we will conduct a lottery and send them!"
Next, he announced the rules that everyone who bought bread could draw a small wooden card from a box on the counter, and if the wooden card was painted red, it would indicate a prize, and they could choose any kind of bread. Therefore, there are more options to win the lottery first. The event ends until the bread is finished.
"Come on, I'll have 3 black loaves of bread, how many prizes can I draw for 3 loaves of bread?" said a big man, looking at his style, it was like gambling in a casino.
"Nine coppers in total. It can only be done once, we come by the number of times, and no matter how much bread we buy at a time, we can only draw it once. ”
"And what if I buy it in multiple parts?"
"Then you have to queue up again, and I remind you that these breads are finished when they are delivered, and if you queue for the second time, it may end before it is your turn. Kaichi said.
"Forget it, just one at a time. Dahan said, but unfortunately his luck was not good and he didn't win.
The next few were not drawn, and the luck was not good. But soon, the first lucky one appeared. or a regular customer,
"Congratulations, steward Path, which loaf do you like?" said Gary, who knew the man, an old customer, a knight's butler.
Butler Paz thought for a while, but still chose the most expensive burger with steak.
"Steward Path, try it and see if it's worth 25 coppers. As soon as Jia saw that the housekeeper showed no signs of moving, he said that if he was asked to bring back the gift bread, the publicity effect would be much weaker.
When Steward Paz saw that Jia Yi said this, he said, "Okay, I'll help them taste it." See how it tastes to you. ”
He took a bite and couldn't help but close his eyes: "Well, not bad, not bad." It's delicious, it's worth 25 coppers, and the meat is delicious, and it's even better with bread. ”
At this time, the cooking method was still stewed and grilled, and there were no other seen skills, so when they encountered the steak fried by Kaichi, they were immediately conquered. It tastes much better, at least it doesn't have that heavy fishy smell.
The praise of the Paz steward aroused people's enthusiasm even more, and the speed of the queue to buy bread was much faster, and some people actually went to line up again if they didn't win the lottery.
One after another, two more people won the lottery, one chose a steak burger and the other chose a bacon sandwich. After tasting it, there is no one who does not say good.
Everyone's enthusiasm was even higher, and they felt that the bread in Erica's Bakery really lived up to its name.
