Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 548 The Ideal Fast Food Restaurant

There is an old saying that goes from frugal to extravagant easy ~ from extravagant to frugal is difficult!
Chen Li now truly understands this sentence.

You know~ when he was working in this electronics factory in his previous life, he was very appreciative of the food from these mobile stalls outside.

But now~ Although it can't be said that this kind of roadside stall is hard to swallow, when Chen Li eats this fried rice noodles with eggs, he feels somewhat tasteless.

But in fact~ Chen Li really started to be picky about food in the half a year after dropping out of school.

It can be seen that this old saying is really very incisive.

Of course, it may also be that the owner of this fried rice noodle shop is not very good at cooking. After all, the cooking skills of roadside stalls are mixed. Some are comparable to five-star chefs, while others are more or less hard to describe.

But no matter how you say it, Chen Li is somewhat dissatisfied with his fried rice noodles.

So he took Zhang Ruolan to the seafood food stall again, but this time, Chen Li didn't even enter the shop.

Because it is already past two o'clock at noon, the noon business hours of this food stall are over!
To be honest~ As a native of Sichuan Province, Chen Li didn't really understand the business hours of many restaurants in Guangdong Province.

Because in Sichuan Province, many restaurants usually open from noon to close at night.

Although the store will also have a rest time at noon, if the customer comes to the door ~ the boss will still greet you with a smile ~ warm reception.

Many restaurants in Sichuan Province ~ before closing at night ~ can basically eat at any time.

However, many restaurants in Guangdong Province are not the same. They take a break to rest. Even if a customer comes to the door, they will inform the other party that it is not the time to eat.

At the beginning~ Chen Li didn't quite understand this. He felt that these restaurants in Guangdong Province could make money by doing business like this?

But later, Chen Li realized that there was a reason for others to do this.

First of all, as the most economically developed province in China, the people of Guangdong Province are really richer.

Unlike Sichuan Province at the moment~ economic development is not ranked in the country at all, the owner of the shop wants to make more money~ naturally regardless of rest time~ as long as there are customers coming to the door, he will open.

But in Guangdong Province, especially in Guangdong Province these days, as long as the craftsmanship is decent~ if you open a restaurant, it will really make money.

As long as you come here during the meal time ~ these restaurants are almost overcrowded, compared with the profit earned during the meal time and the three melons and two dates earned during the rest time ~ people will naturally look down on them.

Instead of delaying the rest time of chefs and service staff, it is better to let them take a good rest, so that they can entertain guests well during the meal, and the final effect may be much better than being on call at any time.

And at the moment Chen Li came to this restaurant, the bulk of the business~ naturally came from the electronics factory not far away.

So their business hours~ are basically linked to the work and rest time of that electronics factory.

At 2 o'clock ~ the electronics factory starts to work, this food stall will close the store for a rest, wait until the workers of the electronics factory get off work ~ the store will be ready in advance ~ open for business!
But this is Guangdong Province now, and before Chen Li was reborn, maybe it was because of the downturn in the industry~ or maybe it was because of fierce competition~ Many restaurants in Guangdong Province have begun to be the same as restaurants in Sichuan Province, basically as long as they don’t close~ You can be greeted anytime.

Of course~ this information only belongs to Chen Li's personal memory, whether it is a common phenomenon in the entire industry, Chen Li does not know.

Because although Chen Li didn't eat at this food stall, he did eat at another food stall not far away.

But the taste of this restaurant is very average~ Chen Li and Zhang Ruolan just filled their stomachs casually, and then Chen Li and Zhang Ruolan took the flight back to Yanjing that night.

After returning to Yanjing~ Zhang Ruolan started to take a vacation, but Chen Li couldn't rest.

After spending a day with Liu Qingqing, who had already started school, Chen Li and Su Mei, the general manager of Ideal Fried Chicken, went to Ji Province.

Since last year~ Ideal Fried Chicken’s business territory has begun to expand outside of Yanjing City. Jinmen City and Hebei Province are the first new maps opened by Ideal Fried Chicken!
Thanks to the vacancy in the market, the expansion progress of Ideal Fried Chicken is relatively smooth.

This is why Chen Li has always wanted to speed up, because as time goes by, Ideal Fried Chicken is bound to usher in stronger competitors.

Although with the strength of Ideal Fried Chicken~ I am not afraid of any competitors, but at that time the development speed of Ideal Fried Chicken is bound to be affected to a certain extent.

But this time Chen Li came to Ji Province not for this purpose, he came to cut the ribbon for the first ideal fast food restaurant.

Compared with the previous fried chicken restaurant ~ Ideal fast food restaurant, the business area is much larger.

After all, Ideal Fried Chicken has never been dine-in before, and almost all fried chicken restaurants do not provide dine-in, only take-out.

But this time the fast food restaurant is different, not only provide dine-in ~ but also added a lot of new dishes.

In addition to the original fried chicken, many Chinese fast food with Chinese characteristics have been added.

For example ~ fried rice and rice bowl.

Another example~ a set meal with various dishes and side dishes!
Well. Okay!In fact, Chen Li borrowed the dishes from some Huaxia fast food restaurants in his previous life.

In fact, Chen Li had thought about this kind of Chinese-style fast food restaurant as early as when he first started making fried chicken.

It's just that Chen Li didn't have enough funds on hand at that time, so he could only choose a small fried chicken restaurant with relatively less investment.

Now that Chen Li has money, he will naturally put his previous plan on the agenda.

As for this fast food restaurant, Chen Li has been preparing for it since last year.

Whether it is the location of the store, the training of employees, or even the decoration style, it has been determined through multiple layers.

After all, everything is difficult at the beginning~ This fast food restaurant also wants to set a benchmark for the ideal fast food in the future.

"what do you want to eat?"

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was actually very simple. After the person in charge of Ideal Food Hebei Branch, a local deputy district head, and Su Mei took turns to speak, Chen Li went on stage and happily talked about the fast food restaurant with the three people. The ribbon was cut.

In fact, Chen Li was originally arranged to speak~ but he was really not too interested in this kind of event, so he directly rejected the arrangement.

As for the deputy district chief~ he was invited by the person in charge of the Hebei branch to suppress the situation.

After all, the size of Ideal Fried Chicken can be considered a well-known company today, even in Hebei Province ~ there are dozens of branches of Ideal Fried Chicken.

Especially ideal food nowadays~ it is an absolute pioneer in paying taxes, and it is also based on this~ the deputy district chief agreed to come to help ideal fast food platform.

However, the deputy district chief was too busy. After cutting the ribbon~ the other party chatted with Chen Li, Su Mei and others before leaving the scene.

And Chen Li~ led Su Mei to become the first batch of customers of Ideal Fast Food.

"Hmm~ I'd like a set meal with shiitake mushrooms and chicken!"

Regarding the dishes of the fast food restaurant~ as early as the preparation time, they were developed by professional chefs. For this reason, Chen Li even asked Chef Gong to hire two top chefs.

The purpose of inviting these chefs~ is not simply to develop dishes, because the dishes specially developed by these top chefs are not necessarily suitable for ordinary people.

Especially these top chefs are used to making high-end dishes on weekdays. If they are allowed to give full play to themselves~ the dishes they develop may not be affordable by ordinary people just because of the cost.

The reason why Chen Li invited these chefs was not only to take advantage of the other's reputation in the culinary art world, but also to allow these top chefs to finalize the dishes of the fast food restaurant.

This "setting" is mainly to set a strict standard for the side dishes and condiments of the dishes, and even the cooking method and time.

Just like the fried chicken at Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant, there are very strict regulations from the initial marinating ~ to frying and seasoning.

After all~ not everyone is a chef, and not everyone has good cooking skills.

After the dishes have been "finalized", you only need to complete the procedures in strict accordance with the relevant methods and regulations, and then you can get the corresponding dishes.

Such dishes may not make people feel amazing~ but the point is a stability.

It's not like ordinary people cooking. It may be okay today~ but the taste of tomorrow's dishes may not be good.

And after the chef finalizes the process of making dishes, as long as you follow the procedures, you can get a pot of good dishes.

As long as it can meet the standard of being good, it is actually very rare.

After all, this is a fast food restaurant, not a gourmet restaurant.

Of course, before each dish is finished, it has been tasted and affirmed by relevant responsible persons such as Chen Li and Su Mei.

After all, it cost a lot of money for Chen Li to hire those two chefs.

Moreover, Chen Li specially found a few dishes based on the memories of his previous life, and asked the chef to help shape them.

For example, this shiitake mushroom chicken ~ is one of the dishes that Chen Li specially proposed.

In fact, this shiitake chicken dish~Chen Li doesn't even know which cuisine this thing belongs to.

Anyway, as a native of Sichuan Province, the first time Chen Li ate this dish was in a Chinese fast food restaurant.

Hmm~ In fact, that fast food restaurant is also the main target of Chen Li's imitation at the moment.

It was Chen Li's first time eating chicken with mushrooms, and he thought this dish was so delicious!

Alright~ Forgive me for being an idiot at that time, Chen Li has a new understanding of many dishes that he has never eaten before.

Apart from this shiitake chicken dish~ Chen Li also specially ordered a few home-cooked dishes, such as Kung Pao Chicken~ He even asked the chef to develop a Kung Fu Chicken Chop Rice.

These dishes~ are actually the classic dishes that Chen Li had eaten in Chinese fast food restaurants in his previous life.

It's just because of the ideal chicken, so most of the dishes in the ideal fast food restaurant are mainly chicken.

Su Mei ordered a chicken set with mushrooms~Chen Li ordered a chicken rice set.

The so-called set meal means that in addition to the mushroom chicken and fried chicken cutlet, it will also come with several side dishes and a bowl of chicken soup made from ideal white feather chicken.

The traditional white feather chicken ~ is actually not suitable for stewing soup.

However, the quality of the ideal white feather chicken that has been improved by the system is not much different from that of ordinary native chicken, but the meat quality is more tender than ordinary native chicken.

Therefore, ideal white feather chicken can not only be used to make braised and fried, but also can be used to stew soup.

Of course ~ the soup made from white feather chicken is definitely not as good as the native chicken soup stewed from yellow feather chicken, but compared with traditional white feather chicken and farmed yellow chicken, the soup made from ideal white feather chicken is still higher.

Some people even mistakenly thought it was authentic chicken soup after tasting the white feather chicken stew.

It's just that he knew the difference after tasting the native chicken soup stewed by yellow feather chicken.

No way~ This is actually not a simple chicken breed problem.

In fact, although Chen Li has always used the ideal white feather chicken and the ideal yellow feather chicken to call the ideal chicken, in fact, whether it is an ideal white chicken or an ideal yellow chicken ~ has nothing to do with the original white feather chicken and yellow feather chicken.

It can even be said that there is no breed between the two.

It's just that the Ideal White Feather Chicken and the Ideal Yellow Feather Chicken are both improved from the previous White Feather Chicken and Yellow Feather Chicken, so Chen Li continued to call them so.

At present ~ Ideal White Feather Chicken has gradually opened up the market in domestic breeding, and the same agricultural product company has begun to cooperate with Ideal Agricultural Product Company to introduce ideal white chicken breeders from Chen Li for breeding.

It's just that the promotion of ideal white chickens and ideal yellow chickens is still relatively slow in general.

This is mainly because Ren Xiaobo was distracted by Chen Li's ideas one after another, for a while it was a naked-bellied sturgeon~then it was an ideal cow~then it was an ideal pig and an ideal sheep.

This made Ren Xiaobo not focus on the variety promotion. After all, so many varieties were directly "changed" by Chen Li, but Ren Xiaobo needed a lot of time and energy to perfect the corresponding system.

A few casual words from Chen Li's side can explain it~ But Ren Xiaobo's side needs a complete system to prove the success of his breed cultivation.

Therefore, it can only be said that the time is still too short, and the blueprint drawn by Chen Li still needs to be drawn up gradually.

Of course, Chen Li is not in a hurry~ because some things can't be rushed.

Chen Li and Su Mei dismissed the person in charge of Ji Province, and they ate and chatted in the newly opened fast food restaurant~ while observing the store and listening to the feedback from the customers around them.

"There are a lot of people~!"

"This shows that the early publicity work of the fast food restaurant is not bad."

"Everyone is lined up over there!"

Chen Li looked around and casually chatted with Su Mei.

"Well~ after all, it's open today~ and there's a discount."

Su Mei nodded~ also looked around, and then said with a trace of nervousness:
"I just don't know how many people will choose to apply for membership today?"

That's right~ With the opening of the first fast food restaurant, the membership system for Ideal Food is also officially launched.

The membership system this time is different from the various discounts offered by Ideal Fried Chicken in the past. In addition to members themselves being able to enjoy a [-]% discount at Ideal Food stores, this time a membership day is also launched!

In fact, at the beginning, Chen Li wanted to directly launch the "Crazy Days of the Week" event, but considering that the current competitive pressure in the ideal food morning market is not strong, Chen Li finally set the event as a monthly membership day.

And the membership day is on the 15th of every month.

Chen Li saw Su Mei's nervousness, and joked with a smile:
"what are you thinking?"

"This is our first fast food restaurant. It's hard to say whether someone can apply for a membership card today."

"Do you still want many people to become members?"

What Chen Li said is naturally the truth, but often the truth is not so easy for people to accept.

So. Chen Li received a blank stare from his partner!
