Sizzzzz~
The sounds of coated chicken sizzling in sesame oil echoed within the massive kitchen space. Chef Zigg felt like his liver was about to erupt when seeing the quantity of Sesame oil they were using.
Do you know how expensive sesame oil was? If his deceased master saw him now, the poor guy would be rolling in the afterlife, wishing to come back and strangle him to death.
Even a teaspoon of oil was used so meticulously. So imagine the butt load they were using for frying?
Zigg looked away, feeling if he continued to look, he would have a heart attack. Oil was only used by the nobles, the rich merchants an the wealthy.
Julius looked at the dark oil that Zigg treasured, feeling his eyes were blinded by how many impurities it contained. And they say this is the purest grade?
Ugh~
Julius shuddered when comparing it to the clear and clean golden modern era oils. The future is long. He will deal with the matter of oil another day.
KFC—That was Julius's main focus.
Before they even began making Taco Bells, Julius had them steam the chickens first. They began the hard work of rolling the chicken pieces in starch, beaten eggs and other ingredients to get the job done.
They had spices, though very crude ones. There was salt, ginger, sugar and the legendary 5-spice combo powder. They did various experiments to get the right spice proportion balance.
Very carefully, Zigg controlled the proportion of seasoning until they got successful outcomes. Zigg felt like crying when tasting his work. He had to admit that the third sample pieces he and Julius did were the best among the four.
"Great! We will stick to the 4th ratio proportion!"
"Yes, Chef Zigg!"
Like so, the group nodded and began work, creating batches and batches of KFC chicken pieces.
Once again, the loyal customers and guests all swallowed hard when seeing the enticing servings of chicken brought their way.
1, 2, 3….
"Ahhh!!!" Someone exclaimed, with closed eyes and a face stretched in bliss. "I can die now without worry. You there, give me two more batches!"
"Sir, as a loyal customer, only your first batch of six wings is free today. If you want more, it will be from your pockets. However, since you want two more batches to go, you'll be getting 4/10th the price off."
"Great! I was prepared to pay and almost forgot about the 4/10th off matter. It's truly great to be a Loyal customer!"
The man was showing off, making many around him look with envy.
They too want to be loyal customers, but how do they do that?
~Crunch, crunch, crunch.
Many were chewing vigorously.
The taste was too mouth-watering. The chicken's outer exterior was crunchy while its insides were tender and soft.
Oh? And what's this? Sauce served in a small wooden bowl?
Some dipped their chicken pieces in the sauce, and instantly enjoyed the sweet and salty savoring the sauce gave the chicken pieces.
"Wow! This is the best chicken I've ever had. It's so good that it's making my eyes wet."
And the price…
Many thought that with so much chicken given to them, it would cost a lot. But when seeing the price for six pieces, they felt it must be a dream.
This instead made many people want to order several batches more, even those who weren't loyal customers. So imagine how good the loyal customers had it when seeing the prices and also knowing they had almost half the cost of?
"You there, give me three more batches!"
"Hey, I want five more batches!"
"Taco Bells! I want five batches of KFC and four Taco bells; 2 Crunchy-wraps and 2 burritos! I must bring some for my family to taste! No! My family must become true Lily Rain followers!"
"What? If we buy six batches, we also get one batch free? Great! Give me 12 more batches! This means I'll be getting 14 batches!"
…
In a flash, the place was rowdy as orders came flying in from everywhere.
The prices were a little pricey for peasants, but for middle class and high wealthy class individuals, it felt like a true steal for them.
Middle class people are those like guards, shop attendants and those who get certain higher wages than peasants—Peasants could order the same KFC and Taco Bell meals, but they won't be in a hurry to order multiple batches at once.
In the future, the price would go down again.
For now, it was a new thing. Thus, it was only right for it to be pricier. Don't forget that each batch of chickens is only six prices. So of course many wealthy people might want 12 pieces or even 32 pieces to take home. That was reasonable.
Of course, after one week, he will introduce the ten set price, 18 set price and also 30 set price for all. Many will realize it was cheaper to buy the deal price, rather than ordering six more pieces, five or ten times more.
All in all, the KFC and Taco Bell delicacies were all a huge success.
