Chapter 60 Reopening
On the third day of September, there were obviously more pedestrians in the Dongcheng area of Bianjing than usual, especially in the Tianhanzhou Bridge area, where more people gathered, and everyone's attention was all focused on Liufangju Restaurant.
During these ten days, many people in the capital have been wondering what to do in Liuxiangju. When they see the day, as long as they are free, they will come over to see what tricks this restaurant that has been closed for more than a month can come up with.
In fact, not only ordinary drinkers, but also shopkeepers and shop owners in the surrounding hotels, they all looked here, feeling really whispered, and there was a hint of inexplicable nervousness.
While everyone was waiting, time finally came to Si Shi. I saw a burst of gongs and drums suddenly coming from the end of the Yu Street. Everyone followed the sound and saw a group of drummers dancing from the beat and danced, walking straight to Liufangju before stopping, and then started a more celebratory tune, which naturally attracted more people to gather here.
After another meal, the drummers stopped the song, and then the Liufangju door, which had been closed for more than 40 days, slowly opened, revealing his true appearance to the people surrounded by the door.
Seeing this, everyone rushed forward and looked inward curiously. Many people stood on tiptoe and wanted to look forward more clearly. Some people leaned against each other and sighed in surprise: "What is that? Is it a stove? Why did they move the stove to the front?"
Amid everyone's talk, Liu Fangju's situation was completely revealed. The wine table, chairs and stools in the lobby on the first floor had been moved backwards, and the position where the counter was originally used to place in front of the gate was replaced by a row of seven or eight stoves. There was also a bit of iron pot on it, and something was cooking inside.
"I said why did Liu Fangju put a chimney in front? It turned out that he had moved the stove to the front, but what was they doing?" Everyone kept guessing with confusion, but they couldn't figure out the key points for a while.
At this moment, Wu Li had already walked out of the door with a smile on his face, and after holding his fists to everyone around him, he said loudly: "I, Wu Li, thank you, all the villagers and fathers for coming to the reopening of my Liuxiangju. Because I feel that my old and new friends have taken care of my Liuxiangju for many years, this time, our store will be reopened and will provide you with fresh and delicious stir-fried dishes and fried chicken that have never been seen. Moreover, the fried chicken process is in front of you, with enough weight and good quality, and the old and innocent people!"
As he finished speaking, several chefs who had been waiting by the counter early in the morning had already put the chicken that had been prepared in the oil pan. They heard a sniff, and the whole chicken and pieces of chicken rolled in the oil. After a while, the chicken wrapped in batter and seasoning turned golden, which looked really attractive.
What's even more tempting is the fragrance emitted by these fried chickens. The fragrance floated out of the store and soon came into the noses of the pedestrians surrounding the store, making them unconsciously spit out a lot of saliva from their mouths.
This is a strange fragrance they have never smelled before, and it is also a way to make chicken that they have never seen before. In the past, chicken was only steamed or cooked or directly cooked on the fire, but no one tried to fry it in a pan. But just looking at its color and smelling its fragrance is enough to make everyone eager to try it and want to try this fresh chicken.
At this time, someone couldn't help but walk forward: "Shopkeeper Wu, how can you sell chicken in your house?"
"This guest official also asked to sit in there. The original price of chicken in our restaurant is 300 cents. This time, the reopening will only cost 150 cents to pay the guest." Wu Li hurriedly let the guest in and explained.
The price of chicken for 300 min is indeed much higher than the chicken I usually eat, but this is extremely fresh fried chicken after all, and it was even a half-deal today. The diner nodded without thinking, "Then let me give you one to try it out."
When he saw him entering the door, a friend came forward to greet him. When everyone saw that they had put the freshly fried chicken on a white plate and put it in front of the man, more people could no longer bear it and walked into the restaurant and ordered a fried chicken like that.
Most of the people in Tokyo have some spare money, and today there are many curious people here, so when they see the fried chicken fresh, more than a dozen or twenty people come in and taste it first. Others are still watching outside, wanting to see how the fried chicken tastes.
Unlike most people who are attracted by fried chicken, the shopkeepers and shop owners who traveled with the same hotel are most concerned about Wu Li's other words - Liu Fangju has already mastered the secret skills of cooking, which is really a big threat to them.
But before they could come back from this shock, the admiration from the store had once again accelerated their heartbeat: "This chicken... is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tastes extremely delicious. It's really a delicious dish I've never eaten before!"
Many diners were amazed after carefully biting the golden chicken and savoring it carefully. Then some people feasted on their faces, which made everyone outside the store even more salivating. At that moment, many people walked into the store and ordered fried chicken to taste it.
As more and more people eat chicken, the sound of praise and slap sounds spread from the restaurant from time to time. What's more important is that the fried chicken in front of the door constantly radiates a scent, which even hooks the greedy worms in everyone's stomachs.
So, in just half an hour, the lobby on the first floor where hundreds of guests could sit was full of guests. Even in the private rooms on the second floor, there were no less than twenty tables of guests. In addition to fried chicken, these guests also ordered Liufangju’s wine and other dishes. Especially when they learned that Liufangju also had fried dishes now, and the price today was half cheaper than Fanlou and other places, they were curious to order a few servings and tasted them.
At the beginning, there were so many guests who were not seen. Today, customers were full of customers. They were all full of food, but they were full of praise. When this scene was clearly presented to the eyes of passers-by, more people were attracted in, which made Wu Li, the guys and the chefs busy, and they couldn't even find the opportunity to take a break.
Not far from the door, Tong Mu, who had been taking leave from the Imperial College, was full of joy at this time. He looked at Sun Tu beside him and said sincerely: "Sanlang, it is all your credit for my Liuxiangjuan's change this time."
Yes, whether it was taking out new dishes such as stir-fried dishes and fried chicken, or the hype methods that attracted more people to watch before, Sun Tu did take a lot of effort this time. Now seeing such results, he felt a sense of joy and relief. However, he still seemed calm and composed: "Today is just the beginning after all, and whether Liu Fangju's next business can get better will have to see where."
"I am very confident about this." Tong Mu smiled and pointed to the diners who kept entering and leaving the restaurant: "Look at those guests who have eaten food and left with satisfaction, I think they will definitely become regular guests of my love in the future. And I also have confidence in you, and it will definitely make my love in the future better than today."
"Haha, second brother, you are so proud of me." Sun Tu responded with a smile, but looking at his expression, he really looked confident in his grasp.
Facts proved that Sun Tu's confidence was indeed well-founded, because not only the day the third year of junior high school reopened, but in the following days, Liufangju's business was not only not cold, but also became better and better. Because not only did people who had eaten fried chicken and other foods here before, people who thought it was delicious came back again, but those who had not come before also tried it because of word of mouth.
In the next half month, Liufangju was almost full from noon to night. In addition to ordinary adults, many children also asked their parents to come here to buy fried chicken. This was naturally under Sun Tu's calculations, because he knew very well that relatively speaking, the children who were most interested in fried chicken were the ones.
During this period, Liu Fangju sold no less than 200 fried chickens every day, which doubled the price of chickens on the market and made the business of many hotels around it colder.
It was not until late September that the reopening event of Liufangju's guest reopening ended, and the situation eased a little, but its name had already been made. Later, the guests here not only ate fried chicken, but also came here to taste more authentic stir-fry than Fanlou and other places. By the way, the wines such as Yuhuchun also regained the hearts of the wine guests.
