In the photo, the uncle who is watched by everyone next to the burden is called "King Chicken", of course, this is just the nickname given to him by others, and the origin of this head is that he carried the burden to sell chicken and became a local celebrity. The uncle's real name is Wang Jingming, as a Dujiangyan person, his famous place is in Wenjiang, from the age of 15 he began to sell chicken in Qingcheng Mountain, and then stayed in Wenjiang for 27 years, has been carrying and drinking and selling cold mixed chicken life.
Wang Jingming is a bitter man, he did not have a father at the age of 9, lived with his grandfather until he was 15 years old, and then went out to sell chicken until now. More than 20 years of consistent persistence is not something that everyone can do, he relied on this pick, an old-fashioned name, let the people nearby remember the delicious taste of cold mixed chicken, inconvenient to become a red person, but also became a local intangible cultural heritage.
Why can he become a popular man, because he sells chicken with principles, selling only 20 chickens a day, and when he is finished, he will go home and never sell more. Generally sell 12 in the morning, sell 8 in the afternoon, and the price is not cheap, a pound sells 60 yuan, half a pound to sell, but it is also strange, even if it is so expensive, every day is in short supply.
Since the beginning of selling cold mixed chicken, his life has been very regular, every day is 1 a.m. to get up and start to prepare, and when it is ready, it is almost 8 o'clock. After a little rest, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., he would usually be on White Horse Temple Street, 11:30 to 12:30 p.m. on Yunxi Road Street, and after 4:00 p.m., he would appear on Zanyuan Street, and everywhere he went, people were rushing to buy.
A flat shoulder, two baskets, the basket contains the cut chicken and various spices, this is Wang Jingming's standard every time. Then there is his very characteristic shouting: "King Chicken", as long as the people who know him know it know that he has turned here, and the smell of wanting to eat meat can see him a few steps away.
Someone comes to buy chicken, he will first weigh the good meat, and then put it in a stainless steel basin, then pour in the onion, celery, soybeans, peanuts and other accessories, and finally add salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence and other spices to stir, in a few minutes, a cold mix chicken is ready. In the process, Wang Jingming also shouted the loud "king chicken" from time to time, and each time he shouted, he would always attract the crowd of onlookers to take out their mobile phones to shoot.
When it was fast, the chicken was robbed in an hour, and those who did not buy it would be a little disappointed, and he could only smile and say that it was sold out, and he would buy it next time!
Although business is getting better and better, unfortunately, in 2017, his 20-year-old son suffered from acute T lymphoblastic leukemia, which hit him a lot. Fortunately, in 2018, his bone marrow and son were successfully matched, and the transplant surgery was also successful, which made him feel relieved. However, the cost of treatment cost more than 1 million. After a few days of rest after the operation, he took to the street again with a burden to sell chicken.
Now that his son's condition is stable, he is more at ease. Although it cost a lot of money, most of it was his own savings, and borrowed hundreds of thousands, and now the monthly cost is about 6,000, but he said that his income from selling chicken can still survive.
Even if his son's treatment costs money, he never thought of increasing his daily production, and some people wanted to help him after knowing his son's situation, but he didn't want to cause trouble for others because he felt that he could withstand it, and for the person who bought chicken, he didn't want to buy his chicken because his son sympathized with him.
As the days passed, the king chicken meat is also more and more famous, not only is the chicken he makes delicious, mainly because he does business realistically, only 20 chickens a day, never do more, he said that these 20 chickens are enough for him to be busy, no matter how much the taste can not be guaranteed, that is the matter of smashing the signboard.
