Chapter 285 Detailed Plan
"About where the fried chicken shops open, I thought about Qingyang County and Linjiang City. The county is closer to home and the transportation is convenient, but the consumption level of the people in the county is definitely not as good as that in the market. If the store is opened in the city, the sales will definitely be better.”
Lan Shu told the pros and cons of where to open the shop, and let her parents choose.
Regarding this question, Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli answered in unison without any hesitation, "The sales in the city are good, so let's open a store in the city!"
Since they want to open a store, they must choose a place to make money.
Lan Shu nodded when she heard that, her first intention was also to think that it would be better to open the store directly in Linjiang City.
After talking about the location of the store, it is the turn of the core of the store to sell the goods.
"Don't worry about the crispy fried chicken that the store sells, I will make it. Before opening the store, we just need to find someone to order a large pressure cooker, the kind that can hold forty or fifty chickens in one pot at the same time. " Lan Shu said.
"I have a way to customize the pot. I know a veteran pot maker in the county. After confirming the appearance of the pot, I can ask him to order it tomorrow." Lan Shengli took this matter on himself.
Lan Shu nodded, "Then I will draw the shape of the pot later, we will take it back to the village to have a try after we are done, as long as we are sure that the crispy fried chicken we made is delicious, then go Sell outside."
Speaking, Lan Shu continued to talk about the price of fried chicken.
"The price of a normal chicken is generally between two yuan and two yuan on the market. There is no problem selling free-range chickens from our Houshan free-range chicken farm for two yuan and five yuan. If it is made into fried chicken, I plan to set the selling price at three yuan or more."
"Three yuan and five? Is there anyone who buys it so expensive?" Chang Chunfang was a little worried.
In her opinion, a chicken can earn about fifty cents, and earning one yuan...isn't it a bit much?
But Lan Shu had her own thoughts, "The price of three yuan and five yuan may be expensive in the village, and many people think that a chicken is not worth so much money."
"But if the fried chicken we make is delicious, there are enough people who like it, and the quantity is limited every day, and you can't buy it late, then let alone three five yuan, even if it sells for five yuan, people will buy it. of."
Crispy fried chicken has not yet appeared in this era. When they open it, it will be the only one. Once the taste is good and word of mouth spreads, the supply will definitely be in short supply.
Lan Shu used to work in a related fried chicken restaurant during the winter and summer vacations when she was in college, so she still has confidence in the taste of the recipe she has mastered.
Hearing what her daughter said, although Chang Chunfang still hesitated about the price, she finally chose to trust her daughter's judgment.
Afterwards, Lan Shu continued.
"The fried chicken in our store only sells whole chickens, and the chicken hearts, gizzards, kidneys, and even chicken intestines in the chicken belly are not used, so in addition to fried chicken, we can also sell braised chicken offal, Deep-fried chicken kidneys can make a lot of money for one chicken.”
Lan Shengli heard that chicken giblets can still be sold, and fried chicken kidneys...is that delicious?
As for whether it is delicious or not, Lan Shu knows it well.
Fried Chicken Kidney This dish is not seen in the market, not to mention now, even later generations. It can only be seen in some special high-end restaurants, and the price is not usually high.
She used to work in a restaurant during the summer vacation, and only then did she know that chicken kidneys could be sold separately.
At this time, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang felt that these marinated chicken offal and fried chicken kidneys mentioned by Lan Shu were somewhat unbelievable.
But thinking that my daughter has been to a big city like Kyoto, maybe Shushu has seen such things in Kyoto?
Because they thought so, the old couple didn't question Lan Shu's words at this time.
The three of them were talking when Tang Chu, who had gone to the back mountain to deliver food, came back.
Wait until there are people, and everyone starts to eat.
Tang Chu was slightly startled when he saw that his in-laws and Director Lan were waiting for her to eat together.
When she went to the back mountain to deliver food, she never thought about coming back to eat together.
She thinks that the three of them in the family have eaten, so just leave some for her in the pot.
But now, her in-laws and Director Lan are waiting for her. This is a sign that she really treats her like a family member and respects her.
Tang Chu suddenly felt very moved.
She didn't experience the warmth in her own family before, but now that she is married, she can feel it.
So after the four of them had finished eating, Tang Chu immediately got up to pack the tableware, but was stopped by Chang Chunfang.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, just sit and rest for a while, I'll do it."
Chang Chunfang was agile in her hands and feet. While talking, she had already put away the bowls and chopsticks, and carried them to the pool in the yard.
After cleaning up the housework, Chang Chunfang dried her hands before returning to listen to her family's talk about opening a shop.
Actually, Lan Shu has pretty much said what she wants to say. The next step is to order the pot, follow up with the finished product, and choose the appearance.
It was also at this time that Tang Chu found out that her parents-in-law planned to open a shop in the city to do business!
Originally, from Tang Chu’s point of view, the parents-in-law are not too young, they just need to do something at home, and there is no need to worry about money at all, but seeing that this matter is supported by Director Lan, Tang Chu has no opinion.
In her opinion, what Director Lan agreed to must be correct.
The in-laws have the idea of doing business to make money. Although she can't help in the general direction, if there is any small job, she will definitely not hesitate.
…
Early the next morning, Lan Shengli drove his eldest son's tractor to the county seat.
On the back hill, the three brothers of the Lan family and Xiaobai continued to expand the free-range chicken farm.
Last night, the three brothers had learned that their parents were going to set up a store in Linjiang City to sell fried chicken.
After Lan Dazhuang heard the estimated daily sales volume from his younger sister, his eyes widened in surprise!
If the fried chicken shop can sell a hundred chickens a day, then the chickens in his free-range chicken farm will not last long.
Last year, there were less than 100 and less than 200 chickens in the free-range chicken farm. Since April this year, the grown chickens have laid eggs and hatched.
These more than a thousand chickens have grown up to now, and the largest one has only been raised for three months, and it is still close to being slaughtered.
Although one or two thousand chicks have hatched in the past two months, the distance has grown, and they will not be slaughtered until around New Year's Day.
So now all the chickens in the chicken farm are added together, even if they are all grown, it is only enough to sell for more than a month.
At that time, the chicken farm will not be able to supply the goods, how can parents open a shop?
Lan Shu also had plans for this matter.
Her idea of opening a fried chicken shop at the beginning was that after the free-range chicken farms became popular, the chickens on the mountain would be enough to support the sales demand of the shop before opening.
But she didn't expect that Lan Xinya would show up, and she would make her parents feel sad by acting against her parents.
That's why her plan was advanced.
