Kentucky man cooks up a recipe for success

Once, there was an old man living in Kentucky, US. He was poor. He lived in a small house. His car always broke down. At the age of 65, the old man decided to make some changes. So he thought about what he could do. His friends really liked his fried chicken. He thought this was his best chance to make a change. He left Kentucky and traveled to different places to try to sell his recipe(食谱). He told restaurant owners he had an amazing fried chicken recipe.

Unluckily, most of the restaurants were not interested. The old man heard "no" more than 1,000 times. But he didn't give up. He believed his recipe was something special.
