On the third day of September, there were obviously many more pedestrians in the east city of Bianjing than usual, especially in the Tianhanzhou Bridge area, where more people gathered, and everyone's attention was focused on Liufangju Restaurant.
In the past ten days, many people in the capital have been speculating and discussing what to do with this Liufangju. When they see the day, anyone who has free time will come over to take a look and see that this place has closed down. What kind of tricks can a restaurant with more than a month come up with
In fact, not only the ordinary drinkers, but also the shopkeepers in the surrounding hotels were also looking here eagerly at this time, and they were really murmuring in their hearts, with a hint of inexplicable nervousness.
While everyone was waiting, the time finally came. Suddenly, bursts of gongs and drums came from the end of the Royal Street. Everyone followed the sound and saw a group of drummers coming from the road while beating and dancing. They walked straight to the Liu Fang stopped in front of him, and then played a more festive tune, which naturally attracted more people to gather here.
After another meal, the drummers just stopped playing, and then the door of Liufangju, which had been closed for forty days, slowly opened, revealing itself to the crowd gathered in front of the door. The true appearance inside.
Seeing this, everyone crowded forward curiously and looked inside. Many people stood on tiptoes, trying to get a closer look. Some people leaning in front immediately let out a surprised sigh: "What is that? Is it the stove? Why did they move the stove to the front?"
In the midst of everyone's busy discussions, the situation inside Liufangju has been fully revealed. I saw that the wine tables, chairs and stools in the hall on the first floor had been moved back a lot, and the place where the counter was originally placed in front of the door was actually replaced by a row of seven or eight stoves, with a stove on top. There was something cooking in the iron pot.
"I asked why Liufangju built a chimney in the front. It turns out that the stove was moved to the front, but what was their purpose?" Everyone was full of doubts and kept guessing, but for a moment they didn't know. Can't figure out the key.
At this moment, Wu Li had already dressed in festive clothes and walked out with a smile on his face. After saluting everyone around him with clasped fists, he said loudly: "I, Wu Li, would like to thank all the villagers and elders for coming to support me today." Reopening. In recognition of all the old and new friends who have taken care of me over the years, our reopening will provide you with fresh and delicious stir-fried dishes at a cheaper price, as well as fried chicken that you have never seen before. . And the frying process of this chicken is right in front of everyone’s eyes, it’s so good that you can’t be fooled!”
As he finished speaking, several chefs who had been waiting at the counter early in the morning put the chicken that had been prepared into the pan. There was a continuous sound of sizzling, and the whole chickens were tumbling in the oil and water. After a while, the chickens coated in batter and seasonings turned golden brown, which looked really tempting.
What's even more tempting is the aroma of these fried chickens. The fragrance wafted out from the store and soon reached the noses of the passers-by who gathered in front of the store, causing their mouths to salivate unconsciously.
This was a strange aroma that they had never smelled before, and it was a way of preparing chicken that they had never seen before. In the past, chicken could only be steamed or grilled directly over a fire. No one had ever tried frying it in a pan. But just looking at its color and smelling its aroma is enough to make everyone eager to try this fresh way of eating chicken.
At this time, someone couldn't help but walked up and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, how do you sell your chicken?"
"This guest, please sit inside. The original price of chicken in our restaurant is 300 renminbi. This time, the grand discount for reopening is only 150 renminbi." Wu Li hurriedly let the guest in and explained at the same time.
The chicken price of 300 yuan is indeed much higher than the chicken you usually eat, but after all, this is extremely fresh fried chicken, not to mention it is discounted in half today. Without even thinking about it, the diner nodded and said, "Then give me one to try first."
Seeing him come in, a waiter came up to greet him. And when everyone saw that they had put the freshly fried chicken on a plate as white as jade and placed it in front of this person, more people could no longer bear it and walked into the restaurant one after another, just like that person. Order a piece of fried chicken first.
Most people in Tokyo have some spare money, and there were many curious people here today, so when they saw the freshness of the fried chicken, a dozen or twenty people came in first to try it. Others were still waiting outside to see how the fried chicken tasted.
Unlike ordinary people who are attracted by fried chicken, the shopkeepers of the same hotels are most concerned about Wu Li's other words - Liu Fangju has actually mastered the secret cooking skills, which is really a big threat to them.
But before they could recover from the shock, the praises coming from the store had already made their hearts beat faster again: "This chicken... is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tastes so delicious that I have never seen it before." What a delicious meal!”
Many diners quickly exclaimed in exclamation after carefully biting into the golden chicken. Immediately, some people began to enjoy the food regardless of appearance, which made everyone outside the store salivate. At that moment, many people walked into the store and ordered fried chicken to taste.
As more and more people eat chicken, the sounds of appreciation and clattering come from the restaurant from time to time. More importantly, the fried chicken placed in front of the door is constantly exuding the fragrant aroma, which is even more fascinating. Catching the greed in everyone's stomach.
As a result, only half an hour later, the hall on the first floor, which could seat hundreds of guests, was already full of guests. Even the private rooms on the second floor were filled with no less than twenty tables of guests. In addition to fried chicken, these guests also ordered drinks from Liufangju and other dishes. Especially when they learned that Liufangju now also served stir-fry dishes, and the prices today were more than half cheaper than those at Fanlou and other places, they all curiously ordered a few portions to taste.
Liufangju, which was deserted at first with no customers in sight, is now packed with customers, all of whom are eating with mouths full of food but full of praise. When this scene was clearly presented to the eyes of passers-by, more people were attracted in, making Wu Li, the waiters and the chefs all so busy that they couldn't even find a chance to take a break.
Not far from the door, Tong Mu, who had taken leave of absence and ran out of the Imperial Academy, was full of joy. He looked at Sun Tu next to him and said sincerely: "Sanlang, the change in Liufangju this time is all because of you. It’s a credit to me.”
Yes, whether it was coming up with new dishes such as stir-fried vegetables and fried chicken, or the previous hype methods that attracted more people to come and watch, Sun Tu really put a lot of effort into it this time. Looking at the results now, he felt a burst of joy in his heart. and gratified. However, he still looked calm and calm on his face: "Today is just the beginning after all. Whether Liufangju's business will improve in the future remains to be seen."
"I'm very confident about this." Tong Mu smiled and pointed at the diners who were constantly coming in and out of the restaurant: "Look at those guests who left with satisfaction after eating the food and wine. I think they will definitely become regular guests of my Liufangju in the future. And I I also have confidence in you, and you will definitely make my life in Liufangju better than today."
"Haha, second brother, you really praise me too much." Sun Tu responded with a smile, but looking at his expression, he did look like he was in control.
Facts have proved that Sun Tu's confidence is indeed well-founded, because not only on the day of Chusan's re-opening, but also in the following days, Liufangju's business not only did not become cold, but actually got better and better. Because not only those who had eaten the fried chicken and other food here before and thought it was delicious became repeat customers, but also those who had not been here before came to try it out because of word of mouth.
In the next half month, Liufangju was packed almost every day from midnight to night. In addition to adults, many children also asked their parents to come here to buy fried chicken. This was naturally part of Sun Tu's plan, because he knew very well that relatively speaking, the children who were most interested in fried chicken were those children.
During this period of time, Liufangju sold no less than two hundred fried chickens every day, which doubled the price of chickens on the market and also caused the business of many surrounding hotels to drop significantly.
It was not until late September that Liufangju's reopening promotion ended, and the situation eased slightly, but its reputation had already been established. Since then, customers not only come here to eat fried chicken, but also come here to taste stir-fry dishes that are more authentic than those at Fanlou and other places. By the way, the fine wines such as Yuhuchun here have also won the hearts of drinkers again.
Only then could Sun Tu say that Liufangju was finally revitalized in his own hands!
