Chapter 1442 – 1442. The Dark Moon
The chicken house was a hit.
After a personal broadcaster named Fisher came and went, his guests flocked. The customer also posted a post on social media saying that it was delicious. There were not a few people who praised it as a chicken revolution.
‘The influence of that man named Fisher is enormous.’
As I learned later, a man named Fisher was notorious enough to be called a shop hunter. He visits the store, tastes the food, and criticizes it. That was Fisher’s main content. However, very rarely, there are shops where Fisher leaves favorable reviews, and all of them are said to have prospered.
Fisher set Yuyu Chicken as the target of harsh criticism, but on the contrary, he returned with favorable reviews.
Thanks to this, all 300 chickens prepared were sold out before dinner.
‘Neo-London has a high population density relative to its area. Everyone in the neighborhood who watched Fisher’s broadcast came to see me.’
Even with an open sucker, 300 chickens were sold in 8 hours. It was an invitation beyond expectations.
‘It’s a big deal. I’m short of chickens.’
I do salting at home with the help of Yuria. It doesn’t matter if you order chicken and it will be delivered on its own, but the problem was salt and sauce. It was selling so well, but I couldn’t rely on just one YuRia.
‘But it’s too complicated to do in a store. It’s hard just to fry. I have to use the factory as well.’
I put the chicken in a box. I didn’t forget to cast a warming spell on the box, so I packed up my beer and headed to the X area manpower station.
Rose, who was just getting ready to leave, looked at me and smiled.
“Who is this? What is the owner of the chicken restaurant doing here?”
“As I said before, I brought chicken.”
“I didn’t know if I would actually bring it…. Great. The famous Korean Chicken. Let’s taste it.”
“Did Korean chicken become so famous?”
“It’s crazy on the internet. Confess that the tasteless chicken has turned into heavenly food. The fact that Neo London has been peaceful lately also played a part. Congratulation. Your store is starting to hit the road to success.”
She let out a small exclamation as she opened her chicken box. The variety was half and half.
“It definitely smells, looks and is different from the chicken I knew.”
Cheek~ Exactly!
Opening her can of beer, she took a quick sip and bit off her chicken. Rose’s calm eyes widen.
“… Wow. What’s great? This is the best food I’ve ever eaten. I can see why that fisher highly praised Korean chicken.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
“It goes well with beer. I think I eat it 2-3 times a month. Therefore. Why did you come here? You didn’t come to give me real chicken, did you?”
“I need money.”
“Are you going to take a request?”
“No. There is no time for that.”
“If you need an emergency, you’ve come to the wrong place. Go to the bank I don’t play money with my clients.”
“The bank is not. It is dangerous in my position now.”
My identity is elaborately crafted. But in the end it was a fake identity. If the bank decided and investigated, there was a possibility that it would be discovered. You are just starting out on the road to success. I didn’t want to take that risk.
“I can’t lend you money. If you need money, make a request. There are a few simple requests that you can complete in a few hours, so do them.”
“Wouldn’t you like to invest in Yu-Yu Chicken?”
“Hmm.”
“In fact, among the customers who came to my chicken restaurant today, there were two people who said they wanted to invest in Yu-U Chicken.”
She stared down at her Korean chicken.
“… Exactly. This is well worth the investment. If you’re here to ask for an investment, you probably have a plan. Tell me the plan If you like it, there is nothing you can’t invest in.”
“I am aiming for a franchise. You need a factory to do that.”
As YuRia and I negotiated, I told her the plan she had concocted.
“… So. What the factory does is that it receives chicken, brines it, makes a large quantity of seasoning sauce, and provides it to franchisees every day, right?”
“So to speak. All the franchisee has to do is fry the chicken at the right time.”
“I like that it is simple. You know the essence of the franchise. But do I have to set up a factory? You can ask the existing factory.”
“In the short run, yes. But I’m looking at the long term. And above all… The key to Yuyu Chicken is salt and seasoning. I want to hide that secret as much as possible.”
“Hmm. Great. What kind of investment do you want?”
“20 million credits.”
“… Is it few? Would that be enough to just build a factory building? What about the machine?”
“I am a 5th level wizard.”
“Aha. A magical engineering machine? I didn’t know you had mastery in magic engineering.”
“… It’s not that great. I’m thinking of buying a scrapped machine at a cheap price and remodeling it. It’s as simple as salting the chicken and mixing the sauce.”
“Great. Let’s write a contract. If it’s 20 million credits, it’s not a burdensome amount, so I can give it right away.”
“And I also want to find three reliable workers.”
“You mean the workers who will run the factory? Where do you think this is?”
X manpower station.
A place that specializes in dealing with people.
•••
A factory was built in Area T.
The machines that entered the factory were handed over by myself.
Magic engineering.
At first glance, it sounds like it would make your head explode, but the core was magic after all. It is to combine magic with a machine so that it can be used continuously.
‘A complicated magic engineering machine is impossible for me right now, but if it’s a simple one, it’s possible.’
Wash the chicken, salt the chicken with the specified ingredients, and add the trimmed ingredients to make the sauce at a fixed rate. These three steps were simple. I don’t want complexity and precision.
What matters is the ratio. It was a bit difficult to control, so I decided to order it from a large company and make it. The machine was delivered in 3 days, as if I had made similar things like this.
‘A truly large company.’
The factory was built and put into operation in ten days.
1,200 chickens are cured at the factory per day. This should be more than enough for the time being.
•••
The awesome chicken house is very busy.
Customers come in like waves. It was hard to take a break. Karel, who is in charge of the hall, said she was in pain, so she saved another part-time job. Because Karel brought her friend, he was able to save another part-time job in an instant.
‘The kitchen is fine.’
10 fryers. 4 additional fryers purchased additionally. A total of 14 fryers are turned to full.
Is it possible to do that alone?
I didn’t know anyone else, but I could.
Because I had the power of magic.
Use telekinesis At my will, the chicken comes out of the refrigerator and plunges into the hot fryer. At the same time, the alarm clock is pressed. When the alarm sounds, remove the chicken from the fryer and place it in a bowl. Don’t forget to mix the seasoning sauce. Even washing dishes is solved by telekinesis.
Using telekinesis, I managed to do 10 people’s share.
Telekinesis was possible because mana consumption was low. Instead, it is known that it consumes a lot of mental energy, but it did not reach me.
‘Still, it’s not without fatigue. We can do this for the time being, but….’
If I continue like this, I will come to my limits.
‘I need to find someone to do the kitchen work.’
The chicken house should be able to run well without me. And gradually increase the number of affiliates.
‘As a result, I just sit on a high place and watch. That’s the goal, but…. There’s still a long way to go.’
There is no need to be in a hurry.
Business is going well. You have to go up step by step.
The problem occurred a few days after that.
– Yuyu Chicken uses old oil.
Rumors began to circulate and the number of customers began to decrease.
It was funny. I change the cooking oil thoroughly every time I fry 50 chickens. They don’t just use cheap cooking oil, they also use something suitable for chicken.
As soon as I found out about the rumor, I posted a refutation on the Internet and inside the store. He also kindly explained that the oil drum was replaced every 50 animals.
But rumors were hard to catch.
“You’re doing this again.”
A man who became a regular spoke while chewing on seasoned chicken. He was reading the description of the oil on the wall. I was able to ask him because there were no guests except him.
“Guest. Do you know anything? If you tell me more, I will serve you a can of beer.”
“Yes? I do not know yet? That guy, that guy.”
He raised his hand and pointed to a fish and chip shop across the street.
“Three months ago, a fish and chips shop near here went bankrupt due to similar rumors. He’s a native here, and he’s from a bully, so he has a lot of connections. Rumors are spread through those connections.”
“I don’t even sell fish and chips.”
“They sell the same fried food. Would you like to eat this chicken and eat fish and chips? I don’t know, but the sales of that house must have been cut in half.”
“…….”
I saw the owner of the store opposite. Just looking at it, it didn’t look very good.
‘What should I do? I’m sure you won’t listen no matter what I say…. Shall I go secretly at night and pretend to be a robber and kill him?’
“President Yangban. Just ignore it Because this store won’t go bankrupt because of that rumor. Everyone knows that rumors are fake. Just because there are fewer guests… Is that enough to ruin it?”
“To the point of ruin… No.”
Although the number of customers dropped, sales were booming.
“People who come will keep coming. This shop has become a restaurant that everyone knows. Oops The moment I finished talking, the guest came.”
This guest is special.
He was a butler in a black suit. With a neat atmosphere, he greeted me as soon as he entered the store.
“Hello. My name is Hyde, the butler from the Platt family. One fried chicken and one marinated chicken, please.”
The butler had dignity.
Not only that, I felt empowered by the butler. The butler in front of me has power of level 3 or higher.
Suddenly realize In Neo London, butlers and maids are by no means low class.
“I will prepare it right away.”
“I’m glad I came when there were no people around. I was lucky.”
The butler looked at the description of the oil hanging on the wall. And he snorted as if he knew what had happened.
“People’s envy and greed sometimes lead them to do stupid things. It seems the boss is in trouble too.”
“It is difficult.”
“Ignore it. There is no need for someone like the boss to step out. Rumors that are too distant tend to subside.”
The butler’s attitude was always polite.
I noticed that the butler noticed my state.
