Chapter 1226: Ignite


Colonel Sanders made his debut not too early. When he officially started operating the fried chicken industry, it was 1932, and he was already in his 40s.
He participated in World War I, but did not fought much in Europe. After returning to the United States, he retired from the army and worked as a sheriff in a small town for several years.
But the family is too poor. He needs to feed his sick mother, as well as his wife and children. He decided to use his limited savings to start a small business.
So he first opened a gas station. At that time, the United States had ample oil, and private gas stations were everywhere.
But when he saw the long-distance drivers waiting to refuel, always clutching their belly and complaining that they were hungry, he found a real business opportunity.
He opened his first fried chicken restaurant next to the gas station. With his superb craftsmanship and the exclusive secret recipe developed, plus the pressure cooker that was still a high-tech product at the time, he invented the concept of fast food.
At that time, it was good for drivers to eat a hot meal, let alone meat like fried chicken, so his business was getting better and better, and the store was getting bigger and bigger.
Today, almost from a small shop selling milk tea, it quickly expanded to the size of Quanjude Roast Duck Main Store.
By 1935, Sandoz's fried chicken had become famous and became a well-known star enterprise.
In order to thank him for his tax contribution to the state, and because he invented the convenient food "colon's chicken nuggets", Kentucky Governor Ruby Lafon officially awarded him the honorary colonel of Kentucky, so people call him He "Dear Colonel Sandoz".
Although the business was good, Sandoz was not satisfied with such an achievement. He took it a step further and added a motel next to the restaurant.
In this way, before the completion of the famous Johnson Motor Inn, Sandoz became the first enterprise consortium integrating accommodation and gas. Even during the Great Depression in the 1930s, Sandoz's business was still booming.
But the good times didn't last long. At the end of 1939, the outbreak of World War II dealt a severe blow to Sandoz.
The government implemented an oil rationing system, and gas stations were forced to close. Subsequently, because the highway across Kentucky was built elsewhere, the old roads were abandoned, his restaurant business was sluggish, and his restaurant was forced to close.
This sudden change pushed Sandoz into the abyss of debt. After the capital chain broke, he even ran out of bank deposits.
Harlan Sanders, the formerly respected Colonel Fried Chicken, suddenly changed from a respected rich man to a worthless poor.
Sandoz was 56 years old at this time, and all he could rely on was a monthly relief fund of $105, most of which would be used to pay off debts.
But he didn't want to stop it for his whole life, besides, that little relief fund could not sustain his life at all, and he had to rely on himself.
Looking at the first social security check the government gave him, he said to himself, ‘the government will give me 105 yuan a month so that I can barely make a living. But beyond that, there must be something I can do for myself and my family with this one hundred dollars. ’
Sandoz thought hard about what to do to get out of the predicament. After thinking about it, he felt that the most valuable thing he had was fried chicken, which was a huge intangible asset.
Suddenly, he remembered that he once sold fried chicken sauce to a restaurant owner in Utah. The owner did a good job, so several other restaurant owners also bought Sandoz fried chicken sauce.
Sandoz, in a difficult situation, thought that maybe someone would do it again, maybe this is a new starting point for his career. In this way, Colonel Sanders started his second venture. He took a pressure cooker, a 50-pound sauce bucket, and drove his old Ford on the road.
Wearing a white suit and black bow tie, a white-haired colonel dressed as a southern gentleman stopped at the door of every restaurant, from Kentucky to Ohio, peddling fried chicken condiments, and asked the boss and shop assistants to perform on the spot how to fried chicken.
If they like fried chicken, sell them the franchise, provide condiments, and teach them how to make it.
In the beginning, no one believed him, and the restaurant owners even thought it was a waste of time to listen to this weird old man's nonsense.
Sandoz’s propaganda work was very difficult. For two years, he was rejected 1009 times. Finally, when he walked into a restaurant for the 1010th time, he got a ‘okay’ answer after performing the fried chicken.
Once there is one person, there will be a second person. With Sandoz's insistence, his idea is finally accepted by more and more people, and his sauces and fried chicken methods are sold.
In 1952, the first KFC restaurant authorized to operate in Salt Lake City was established. This was the beginning of the franchise model of franchise restaurants in the world, and Sandoz once again created history.
Immediately afterwards, Sandoz's new franchise business grew like a snowball. In just 5 years, he has developed 400 chain stores in the United States and Canada, and he stood up again until he became the catering giant today.
Since then, Colonel Sanders has a famous saying, "Facing the 1009th failure calmly".
Although the DC world is the universe of American comics, it is different from the world that Su Ming lived in in his previous life. For example, the DC world does not have Sandoz’s old rival, Blue Road.
But some things will not change much, that is the origin story of Sandoz himself.
He is a fried chicken superhero, and superheroes have their own origin, and those sufferings are part of this origin.
Judging from Sandoz's reaction, Su Ming knew that he had made the right bet. This colonel had experienced the same ups and downs as the one on earth.
Barry looked curiously at Colonel Sanders next to him. The old man's aura changed rapidly. From the very beginning, the dying old drunkard was full of vitality in the blink of an eye.
It was like the death knell had drugged him in the wine.
It's no wonder Barry thinks this way. After all, as far as he knows, Death Knell has never hesitated to use any means to achieve his goals.
But after seeing that the drunkenness in Colonel Sanders' eyes faded and he stood up consciously, Barry felt that even if he was given the medicine, it was probably a good medicine.
Sure enough, the death knell had a way. He just asked a question, and without a word of comfort, Colonel Sanders returned.
"Hey~~~ha!"
Colonel Sanders stood up and slammed into a muscular posture.
The white suit and shirt on his body suddenly shattered into large and small pieces of cloth accompanied by explosive special effects. These rags flew around, making Barry have to hide his face.
Looking back again, the colonel showed his Chiguo's upper body, constantly changing various bodybuilding positions, showing his muscles.
Although he is old, he has been eating fried chicken every day for decades, and he is still very strong!
The superman-like muscles are as bright as oil, and the pectoralis major muscles are jumping like a living thing, and there are many burned oil spots on his skin when he fried chicken. Medal won in the'Battlefield'!
No way, the kitchen in the past did not have air conditioning, and the fried chicken shop was almost like hell. He could only work in an apron shirtless, and it was inevitable that he would be splashed by oil.
"It seems that I have been immersed in the peaceful days for too long, and I have forgotten what kind of setbacks back then did not defeat me! Although there are no chickens and no cows, I can always think of a way to solve this problem, if 1009 times No, then try the 1010th time!"
"Ohhhhhh! The blood of hands-on fried chicken is burning!!!"
Barry on the side looked excited, Colonel Sanders was still so burning! Worthy of being his idol, there is nothing wrong with it, this is the spirit of never giving up!
In contrast, Su Ming, who was sitting and watching the two burning one after another, seemed to be out of place, with a broken expression on his face.
Didn’t you say it’s DC? What is going on with this feeling of passion in the island country? Is Sandoz actually the end-of-century savior like Kenjiro? The principle of this explosive clothing is not Beidou Shenquan or Turtle Qigong?
There are too many places to make complaints. He didn't know what to say for a while, but another weakness of Barry was mastered by himself. Sure enough, like many scientific nerds, Barry is actually a deeply hidden secondary disease. patient.
Maybe you can use...
"Ahem, Harlan?"
Su Ming tried to awaken the two people who were immersed in the "other world". These two people are like a small universe of competition. Once you burn it, I will be even more burnt, so the comparison will never end.
"Call me Colonel."
The old man looked up with a confident smile, and Barry instantly ran into the villa to help him find a new suit and put it on.
Only after putting on a white suit is his complete body.
Su Ming sighed in his heart and stood up helplessly: "Okay, Colonel, we are here for your help."
"Give me some time. Although I have no chickens or cows now, because the justice leagues in other parallel universes want moving objects to come at too high a price, I can always find a substitute for chickens and cows. The Justice League is my family. Wait for me. Thinking of a way, there is absolutely no problem in feeding the family."
The corners of the death knell's mouth twitched~EbookFREE.me~Zhenglian probably only Barry and Hal like burgers and the like. Does Diana occasionally eat a KFC sundae? Basically everyone else cooks by themselves.
"I don't mention fast food in advance. We are here to ask you a huge chicken cow monster."
"Chicken Bull Monster? Ah, Zhenglian's enemy is still as weird as always. It is a hybrid beast monster, right? Can you tell me the head of this Chicken Bull Monster, is it a chicken head or a bull head?"
Colonel Sanders touched his goatee. He was not drunk at all. At this time, his confident expression seemed to be full of absolute control over chickens and cows!
"It has a chicken on its head and a cow from below its waist. It has wings and hooves and can fly for short distances. It is stronger than Superman, has divine power and magic resistance."
Su Ming probably described it, after all, Wade didn't test out anything.
"That's easy." Colonel Sanders took out a kitchen knife and a stick-shaped sharpener from the back of his suit, and asked as he sharpened the knife: "Where is it? I will give Zhenglian a meal tonight. , Oh oh~~~~ such a good ingredient, inspiration is coming!"
