In every corner of the world and every city in China, we often see an old man's smiling face, white beard, white suit and black eyes. It will always be this dress, which may be the most famous and expensive smile in the world, because this amiable old man is the sign and symbol of the famous fast food chain "KFC"-Colonel Harland Sanders, and of course the creator of this famous brand. Today we ate fried chicken in KFC. From the original street shop to the present gourmet empire, Sandoz has gone through a bumpy road to entrepreneurship.

"Colonel Sanders"

1890 On September 9th, Harland Sanders was born on a farm near Henriville, Indiana, USA. My family is not very rich, but I can get by. However, at the age of 6, his father died, leaving his mother and three children to live hard.

To make a living, my mother has to do a lot of work outside. She had to peel potatoes in the food factory during the day and continue sewing clothes for others at night. Naturally, she has no time to take care of her young children. Sandoz is the boss. He shoulders the heavy responsibility of taking care of his siblings and sharing his worries for his mother. When mom is not at home during the day, Dr. Xiaoshan has to cook by himself. A year later, he learned to cook 20 dishes and became a famous cooking expert.

/kloc-When she was 0/2 years old, her mother remarried, but the relationship between Sanders and her stepfather was not very good. Until the sixth grade, he didn't want to study any more. The air at home was too stuffy, so Sandoz decided to go to work and change the environment again. He came to work on a farm in Greenwood. Although he worked hard, he was able to maintain his personal food and clothing.

Since then, he has changed countless jobs and tried everything, such as being a painter, a fireman, selling insurance and being a soldier for a while. Later, he got a correspondence law degree, which enabled him to be a sheriff in Little Rock, Kansas for a while.

At the age of 40, Sandoz came to Kentucky and opened a Corbin gas station. Because there are many customers coming and going to refuel, Sandoz had an idea when he saw the hungry faces of these long-distance travelers. Why don't I make some convenient food to meet these people's requirements? Besides, he is a good cook, and his wife and children often praise him. As soon as he thought about it, he cooked some daily meals in the small kitchen of the gas station to attract customers.

During this period, Sandoz introduced its own special food, which was the prototype of KFC fried chicken that became famous in the world. Because of its delicious and unique taste, fried chicken was quickly warmly welcomed and praised by the guests. Some people don't even come to refuel, but to eat fried chicken at Kebin gas station.

At the beginning, Sandoz wanted to expand the business of his gas station, and now the reputation of fried chicken has surpassed that of gas stations. With more and more customers, the gas station can't hold on any longer. Sandoz opened a Sandoz restaurant across the street, specializing in his specialty-fried chicken.

In order to ensure the quality, Sandoz put on an apron and started cooking, and invested in the expansion of a large restaurant that can accommodate 142 people. In this way, he created a primary fried chicken market. In the next few years, he managed and studied the special ingredients of fried chicken (including 1 1 herbs and spices), which made the fried chicken skin form a thin, almost unheated shell and the chicken was moist and delicious. This ingredient formula is still used today, but the number of seasonings has increased to 40. And this is KFC's most important secret weapon, just like Coca-Cola's formula.

By 1935, Sandoz's fried chicken has become a household name. In order to thank him for his special contribution to the state congress, Ruby Lafon, the governor of Kentucky, officially awarded him the rank of Colonel in Kentucky, so people have always called him "Dear Colonel Sanders" until now.

After World War II, he was penniless.

Although business is good, Sandoz is not satisfied with this achievement. He went one step further and built a motel next to the restaurant. In this way, before the famous Howard Johnson Motel was built, Sandoz became the first enterprise consortium integrating accommodation and refueling.

However, with the increase of customers, Sandoz felt his lack of management experience, so he went to Cornell University in new york to study hotel management courses, which enabled him to solve the hotel management problems he faced in the future, but the problems still existed. With the increasing popularity of Sandoz restaurant and the increasing number of customers, it is not easy to serve fried chicken quickly for so many customers. He is always scrambling to fry chickens for customers while listening to the complaints of anxious customers.

Sandoz is worried about this. what should he do ？ At this time, an accidental pressure cooker exhibition gave him an inspiration. The pressure cooker can greatly shorten the cooking time without burning the food, which is the best for his fried chicken.

1939, Sandoz bought a pressure cooker. After cooking time, pressure, refueling and other experiments, he finally found a unique method of fried chicken. The fried chicken under this pressure is the best fried chicken he has ever eaten, and KFC fried chicken still maintains this recipe of using pressure cooker. And as he imagined, it only took 15 minutes to fry a chicken. Fried chicken with short time and good taste suddenly became a hot topic of discussion at that time, and many diners flocked to it. Even during the Great Depression of 1930s, Sandoz's business was still thriving.
