Chapter 322 Uncle Dell's Fried Chicken Restaurant (Two in One
The birth of Jenny Machine can be said to be just in time.
If Lord Berry had tinkered with this thing a while ago, Bruno could only stare at it with his big eyes, and then put the Jenny machine in the corner of the warehouse to eat dust.
Because weaving and spinning required raw materials, and at that time, the Principality of Idar simply could not get enough wool.
Although Jenny Ji has greatly improved production technology and the work efficiency of textile workers, without enough raw materials, it is difficult for a woman to make a meal without straw.
For the Principality of Idar at that time, if you wanted to get wool, the only way was to raise it yourself.
But...sheep need to eat!
The Principality of Idar does not have vast pastures for sheep to roam around, so if you want to raise sheep, you need food and feed.
But compared with raising sheep and weaving cloth, filling the stomachs of the Idar people is the most important thing.
Bruno can still weigh this clearly.
Why does Bruno raise chickens instead of sheep?
Because although footpot chickens always look cheap, the time for the footpot chickens to be released is short enough, they grow enough meat, and the meat-to-material ratio during breeding is also exciting enough.
But now, the wool problem has a perfect solution.
There's not much else about Odin, except that he's very hairy! And the price is very low!
After beating up the Odin people, the Odin Empire finally opened its door to what is now the Principality of Idar. The establishment of Hobbs Port also allowed Bruno to set his sights on the land located in the northeast of the Odin Empire.
.
The nomadic tribes in the eastern highlands don't have many other things, they just have enough sheep and cattle, and to be honest... for the nomadic tribes living on this land, it is difficult to sell the cattle and sheep in their hands.
Many people know that the nomadic tribes of the Odin Empire have a large number of cattle and sheep, and they all want to buy them for meat or furs. But the problem is how to transport them after buying them?
There is no cold chain transportation in this era. For those business travelers, the only way is to walk there and back!
But in this case, the risks on the road will be greater!
The eastern highlands are already remote, and the nearest land route is blocked by the Forest of Monsters, so business travelers can only detour through the Armandche Plain, and it takes several months just to go back and forth.
Not to mention whether you can make money in the end, you can say thank God if you can avoid losing money.
It is precisely for this reason that the selling prices of cattle and sheep in the eastern highlands of the Odin Empire are quite low.
And the only thing that can be sold is fur, and meat and dairy products such as mutton and beef cannot be sold at all.
but,
But the Idar people can want them all!
With the convenience of sea transportation, the time from Merlin District to Hobbs Harbor will never exceed a week!
Bruno could even place the textile factory directly in Hobbs Port, source local materials, and use cheap labor for production. Anyway, the Jenny Machine does not require magic power as energy to drive.
As for the meat, if it’s slightly marinated and processed, can’t it be stored for a week?
Therefore, Bruno can be said to be getting more and more excited the more he thinks about it.
This is another complete industrial chain belonging to the Principality of Idar!
"Where is Count Bailey?"
Thinking of this, Bruno immediately asked.
We must do what we say. Since we have decided to start the textile industry with the help of the Jenny machine, we must involve the inventor Lord Berry.
Moreover, Jenny Machine should be considered as a technical investment, and the shares that should be given should not be less at all.
The profits that the textile factory could bring were absolutely astronomical. When he thought that Count Bailey could make a fortune for himself by chasing a girl, Bruno felt a little sour.
As a Duke, he is still single, so why did a young earl run in front of him and pinch him?
"Reporting to Your Majesty the Duke, today is the opening day of the fried chicken restaurant. Count Bailey should have gone to the fried chicken restaurant to support it." Mundell thought for a moment and then gave a reply.
"Fried chicken restaurant?"
Right!
Bruno suddenly remembered that the fried chicken restaurant he and Earl Dale had built together seemed to be officially opening for business today!
"Call Avril and the two little ones, let's go too!" Bruno ordered.
I stayed in the Hanging Garden for several days. Taking advantage of the opportunity to find Count Bailey, I happened to take a stroll inside Idar City.
As for the two little ones, they have always been extremely curious about the outside world and have no fear of humans.
Staying at home will tear down the house, so why not take it out to burn off some energy, and most importantly, you can pet griffons on the way!
"I'll go get ready now..." Mundell said as he was about to exit.
"Hey, wait..."
Bruno stopped Mundell who was about to leave, touched his handsome face, and then said seriously:
"Which one do you think is more handsome, me or Count Bailey?"
Mundell:???
What the hell kind of question is this?
"Then of course he is the Duke."
Mondale managed to hold back a faint smile and affirmed.
"Then why have I never found the right girl..."
After sending Mundell away, Bruno murmured alone.
…
Idar City.
After more than a month of preparation and decoration, the first fried chicken restaurant jointly funded by Bruno, Earl Dale and Earl Bailey finally opened for business today.
The location of the fried chicken restaurant is right next to the Caracalla Baths, which is one of the places with the largest flow of people in the entire city of Idar, except for Idar Avenue.
Today's Caracalla Baths' status in Idar City is equivalent to Wanda Plaza and Plaza 66 in the previous life, which is equivalent to the landmark building and commercial complex of Idar City.
When young people in the previous life fell in love, they liked to go to the cinema and watch a movie together.
In the Principality of Idar, young people who are immersed in the sour smell of love like to run to the Caracalla Baths and take a bath together.
Therefore, if you open a store near the Caracalla Baths, where land is precious, it will be difficult to reduce the flow of people!
As for the name of the fried chicken restaurant... this was given by Bruno, and it was called "Uncle Dale". The logo is an old man with a big beard, who looks somewhat similar to Woolley Dennis, Earl of Dale.
This makes Earl Dale extremely happy. The business he and the Duke are doing together is actually named after him!
What does this mean?
This shows that the Duke recognizes and praises himself!
Therefore, although "Uncle Dale" fried chicken restaurant has hired special personnel to operate it, Earl Dale is still very attentive and has to stay in the store for half a day almost every day to feel relieved.
Moreover, Earl Dell even spent his own money to place an advertisement in the Idar Daily, becoming the first fast food restaurant in the entire Principality of Idar to advertise in the Idar Daily.
And today, it’s finally time to test the results!
As the door of the store finally officially opened, the curtain that had been covering the front of the store was slowly lifted by the employees.
Suddenly, the image of a kind-looking bearded old man appeared in front of everyone, making people feel particularly happy.
After the portrait, what caught the public's eyes were two capital letters - "ud", which is the abbreviation of "Uncle Dell".
The signboard with white characters on a red background looks particularly recognizable, the door is simple, the cabinets are bright, and the overall style is neat and uniform. It looks completely different from other restaurants around it.
If it weren't for the pictures of various delicacies posted above the counter when you first entered, the people of Idar City wouldn't think it was a restaurant.
"Is this a restaurant?"
The crowd gathered in front of the door and watched curiously.
"Isn't it just a restaurant? It seems to be opened by a noble man. It's called a fast food restaurant, but we don't know how fast it can be..."
"Quickly? Could it be that if you eat too slowly, you have to chase people away?!"
"Good guys, how can any businessman drive people away? Haven't you read the newspaper? That's not what people mean by fast food..."
The people of Idar City were chattering, but no one had stepped into "Uncle Dale's" shop yet.
There is no way, "Uncle Sam" is a shop opened by an aristocratic gentleman after all!
Although the quality of life of the people of Idar has improved significantly, and they appear to be neither humble nor overbearing when facing nobles from other places, but... that is a noble after all!
How many days have the Idar people had enough food and lived a good life? When facing the noble lord, it is absolutely impossible to say that they are not nervous at all.
In addition, "Uncle Dell's" store looks very neat and tidy. Looking down at the simple shorts on their bodies, how can these people dare to enter the store rashly? How can this place be a place where they can afford to spend money?
of?
Looking at the potential customers hesitating at the door of the store, Earl Dale was filled with anxiety.
As a member of the nobility, this was the first time that he had to show off his face and run a business personally.
At the beginning, it was to show respect for Bruno and show his recognition of Noble Asset Management, but as Earl Dale spent more and more time and energy on this store, he was completely invested in it.
Although the people outside the store were ordinary people whose identities were completely different from his own, Earl Dale still hoped from the bottom of his heart that they could enter his store at this time.
In his opinion, that is recognition and proof of his efforts day and night!
"My Lord Earl, you can go out and say a few words, otherwise... they may be afraid of your status as a noble." James on the side quickly reminded.
Hearing this, Earl Dale suddenly realized.
He passed James and Earl Berry beside him and took up his position under the "Uncle Dale" sign.
The midday sun shines down from the sky above, reflecting on the Idar people at the door of the shop.
Earl Dale calmed down the slightly nervous emotions in his heart, cleared his throat, and then said: "Everyone!"
"I am one of the investors in this store, Woolley Dennis, Earl of Dale."
As soon as the words fell, the noise of the crowd suddenly subsided.
really!
This shop is really opened by a noble man!
Before they could come to their senses, they heard Earl Dale continue to say:
"I used to be a nobleman of the Norman Empire; but now I am a nobleman of the Principality of Idar!"
"When I applied to immigrate to the Principality of Idar, the Duke warned me time and time again that the Idar people are the cornerstone of the Principality of Idar. So at this moment, you don't need to be afraid of my status, because in this land
,In addition to the different identity labels between nobles and commoners, we also have one thing in common that we cannot get rid of-the Idar people!"
"And this fast food restaurant called 'Uncle Dale' is my first try after coming to the Principality of Idar. I hope you can... Aba Aba Aba..."
Earl Dale's words were sonorous, powerful, and extremely emotional.
Especially the sentence "We are all Idar people" minimized the gap between the people in front of us and the nobles.
After some impassioned speeches, someone finally walked into "Uncle Dell's" store.
Ever since Bruno traveled through time, the Georgia family has been living a happy life in Idar City. (See Chapter 215 for details)
You can eat fish or chicken once a month, and you can also prepare some new year's goods during the holidays.
But this time, Georgia had just received last month's salary and planned to buy some good food for the fat boy at home to improve his life.
Unexpectedly, he happened to come across the opening of "Uncle Dale's" fried chicken restaurant.
As an old Idar person, Georgia has fully experienced the changes in Idar City during this period, and has much less fear of the noble lords.
No matter how powerful the nobles are, they must abide by the laws of the Idar Principality! They cannot deal with civilians at will!
Therefore, after listening to Earl Dale's words, Georgia boldly entered the store.
It can be said that Earl Dale was extremely enthusiastic towards this first customer, and he had no airs about being an Earl himself.
He even came to the counter in person and handed the first customer an exquisite menu.
When the menu was displayed, Georgia's hands couldn't help but tremble.
One thing to say, for ordinary people, the prices of the meals sold by "Uncle Dale" are really not low.
The price of a hamburger is three copper coins, which is equivalent to an entire day's income in Georgia!
but……
Anyway, I can only eat it once a month at most. Although it hurts, Georgia can definitely afford the price.
"I personally recommend choosing this burger meal for two, one French fries and two burgers. It only costs six copper coins in total." Earl Dale introduced enthusiastically.
"Hiss~"
Three copper plates are acceptable,
But six coins...
It seems... I can barely afford it, huh?
Isn’t that just one or two less fish meals this month?
I am "Uncle Dell's" first customer!
Somehow,
Georgia unexpectedly said: "I want a set meal for two!"
