Chapter 137: First Strike Wins
The festival held for the Lunar New Year ended with sales exploding like fireworks.
What are you talking about?
It’s about Bakryong Noodles, no, Bakryong Sausage, what else?
Clink.
“Here you are, Chief.”
“Hmm… Good work.”
Though they were coins, the number easily exceeded a thousand. That was over ten taels in silver.
Considering this was net profit, not just sales, it gave a glimpse of just how huge a hit Parkryong Sausage had become.
“No copycats?”
“We posted signs saying it was made with the Chief Manager’s secret recipe, so no one dared to imitate it.”
Everyone knows I absolutely won’t tolerate immoral acts like recipe theft.
As I nodded in satisfaction, Park Ryongmun’s top disciple, Bukgung Hajin, cautiously spoke up.
“Um… I have a request for the Chief.”
“What is it?”
“I want to sell pork sausages.”
“…Running a food business isn’t easy. There’s no guarantee it’ll sell well this time either.”
Truthfully, the success of Parkryong Sausage stemmed from being a street stall right in the middle of the festival, which boosted the atmosphere, and from proper promotion by the branch office. It wasn’t solely due to the taste of the food.
If he opened a proper restaurant and started a business, he’d likely face significant practical problems.
After all, he had no experience running a business.
Because of that, I expressed a negative view about starting a business, but Bukgung Hajin didn’t back down and insisted he wanted to run a business.
