Volume 2 Tokyo Hua Menglu Chapter 68 A Difficult Solution and a Difficult Life (I)
"Shopkeeper, don't you have fried chicken for sale today?"
At noon, there were already a lot of guests in the middle of Liufang, but not far from the front of the store, the fried chicken stove that was originally used to attract customers was empty at this time, and there was no half fried chicken in sight, which made many guests a little unhappy: "We are here to eat the fried chicken in your store, not the day before yesterday, not yesterday, isn't it today?" ”
Being questioned like this, Wu Li was also nervous, and bowed again and again: "Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me, it's true that the chicken in our store has been out of stock in the past few days, so we can't supply fried chicken and you for the time being." But rest assured, we are already thinking of buying broilers from elsewhere, so please be patient! ”
"Wait, but when?" Some people still refused to forgive, and asked aggressively, which made it even more difficult for the shopkeeper Wu to deal with.
At this time, Zhang Jian, who was already sitting in the hall on the first floor, tasting the taste of wine and food, showed a smug smile when he saw the corners of his mouth hooked after seeing this scene. It seems that the plan he made this time is still very effective, once Liufangju fails to provide guests with fried chicken, their reputation will naturally fall, and the predicament of their own hotel will be alleviated.
Of course, they also paid a lot of money for doing so, just buying all kinds of chickens and ducks in the surrounding manors at a price two percent higher than the market price is a lot of money, even if several other stores jointly invested, but also used most of the cash in the hotel. If Liufangju had tried to get chicken from elsewhere, their situation would have been even more difficult.
But Zhang Jian believes that this return to Fangju will not be able to turn over, and he only needs to wait for a while, and it will not be difficult for it to close down.
At this moment, several large cars suddenly came outside the door of the restaurant, but the things on them were tightly covered with oilcloths, and I don't know what was hidden. After waiting for the car to stop, a young man jumped out of the car and walked in the door.
Seeing this person coming, Shopkeeper Wu, who was struggling to deal with many dissatisfied diners, was overjoyed, and after complaining to everyone, he greeted him: "Sun Gongzi, you can be regarded as here." The chicken you mentioned yesterday ......" And Zhang Jian in the middle of the drinkers over there was an eyebrow, and his heart was unconsciously tight, not knowing what kind of variables Sun Tu's sudden arrival would bring to this matter.
Sun Tu smiled at Wu Li: "Shopkeeper Wu doesn't have to be anxious, didn't I bring chicken here?" As soon as he said hello, the Lifu who had been hired by him began to lift the tarpaulins on the car, and then moved the large boxes loaded on them into the store one by one.
All eyes were on the uncovered boxes, and then many people shouted, "It's chicken...... Hey, these chickens are quite fat, but they're a lot fatter than we've eaten before. ”
After he said this, everyone saw clearly that the white chickens that had been removed from the hair were indeed larger than the usual ones, and the meat was much more tender than before.
Sun Tu laughed secretly when he heard this, these broilers were bred for meat in later generations, and they are naturally much fatter and stronger than today's free-range chickens, and there is a big difference in meat quality. However, he didn't tell the truth about this matter, but said to Wu Li, who was full of surprise: "Shopkeeper Wu, don't let the guests wait for a long time, let the chicken that people handle fry up." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Li came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly sent his men to the back to call the chefs who specialized in fried chicken to prepare fried chicken. At this time, Sun Tu turned around and hugged his fist at those guests and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to the next word, there was a shortage of fried chicken in this restaurant before, mainly because we had better chicken to supply you." As you can see, these chickens are much bigger and have more meat than before, but we won't be raising the price because of this, so please feel free to buy them. ”
Originally, there were still some people muttering in their hearts, feeling that the price of the chicken would be increased by the restaurant if it was much bigger, but now when they heard him say this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a burst of applause from the crowd.
At this time, Wu Li pulled Sun Tu aside again, and said with a solemn expression: "Sun Gongzi, where did you get these so many broilers?" Will it be available in the future? ”
"I bought these chickens from elsewhere early in the morning, and I just entered Tokyo today, and I was planning to discuss it with you, so this happened." Sun Tu had already thought of his rhetoric and said casually: "As for the future, at least the supply of chicken will not be a problem this year." ”
"That's the best thing to do." Wu Li didn't mean to ask, but just cared about another question: "Then is the price of these chickens really the same as before?" ”
"That's nature, I can't let you sell at a loss." Sun Tu smiled: "I still buy a chicken at the previous price, one hundred and fifty yuan." Two hundred are delivered today, and you will give it to me according to the price. "That's an unexpected income.
Wu Li was relieved when he heard this, his face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly said: "Of course, Xiao Lao'er will go and get money for you, as long as we can provide chicken, we will be willing to pay for it." ”
While the two were talking, the smell of fried chicken in the restaurant had spread again, and people began to line up to buy it. There is a hurry, after getting the chicken, he tore a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it, and his eyes lit up after tasting it: "Delicious, this chicken is much more tender and juicy than the previous one, it's really cost-effective!" ”
As soon as this statement came out, more people began to be interested, and some people still took a bite, and they all nodded and praised, bluntly saying that this time the fried chicken was more delicious and delicious than before, and the two days were really not in vain.
In fact, this is also reasonable, this kind of broiler chickens are grown up eating feed, and the age is much less than that of the domestic, and its meat quality is naturally far less thick than the latter. If it is changed to a thousand years later, when everyone's mouth has been raised, what will be said about nutritional hormone problems, but now people only pay attention to the taste, for them who are used to eating meat and wood, the taste of this kind of tender chicken is naturally better.
As a result, the business in Liufangju has become hot again, and the dull atmosphere just now has long been swept away. Seeing this change, Zhang Jian's face became gloomy: "How can this be? Do they still have such a trick? Also, why haven't those people come yet? Now, it seems that he can only hope that his next move can deal with Liufangju, but he still has a lot of confidence in this, which is also the purpose of his disguise today, he is not here to see these diners rubbing against the hotel.
While he was anxiously waiting, in the process of the customers scrambling to buy better fried chicken, a group of more than a dozen public suddenly appeared outside the restaurant. After sweeping around, one of the officials in front of him strode towards the counter.
At this time, Wu Li had already seen these uninvited guests, his eyelids jumped, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and saluted with a smile: "Did a few officials come to our store to eat and drink?" The small ones will prepare a private room for you, upstairs, please. ”
"I'm not busy eating wine and food." The official snorted, "We're here to investigate the case." He didn't know if it was intentional or not, but the latter sentence was said so loudly that the surrounding drinkers heard it clearly, and they all showed surprise.
"Huh?" Wu Li was also surprised: "This official laughed, our store has always been in business, how can it do anything illegal and undisciplined......
"Whether you have broken the law or not is not up to you. Recently, my salt and tea division was sued, saying that you have been using private salt all along, but is there such a thing? The official looked at Wu Li imposingly and said in a calm tone.
As soon as these words came out, Wu Li and the people around him all changed color, and the former trembled: "Which official is wronged, how dare we do such a thing, there must be some misunderstanding in this." As he spoke, he quickly took out a money bag from the counter and handed it to the other party covertly.
After Zhang Jian, who was not far from them, saw this scene, the gloom on his face just now was finally swept away, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, this time look at how you Liufangju turned over!
