Chapter 116 The former boss
Soon, Linji Inn announced to the public that the price of stewed turtle with maple tung leaves was reduced by 10% per serving of silver. All kinds of spiritual beast meat and good wine were reduced by 10%.
The prices of the largest inn and largest restaurant are both desperately declining, and there is a Changlin Restaurant that is burning silver in the middle. This news swept across the entire city of Xilan like a hurricane, even overshadowing the recent sensation that Zhou Zhengye, the new county magistrate, visited the Liu family but was beaten to death.
Everyone wants to know which one fell down.
If the people of Xilan City decide who can laugh to the end, 99% of people will choose Linji Inn. After all, Linji Inn is more popular, and Lin Jiangui is a famous and good person.
But if the people in Xilan City guess who can laugh to the end, ninety percent of them may have no choice but to choose Fenglin Restaurant.
Not to mention anything else, few people would believe that the most famous restaurant in the Han Dynasty was rich but could capsize in the gutter of a small county town, and the opponent was just an inn.
The sun, which emitted the light of Hexi, was beginning to move towards the west. Ma Chun looked strange and walked to the backyard quickly and knocked on Lin Dong's room.
"Shopkeeper, Xiaoshuang is back."
Lin Dong frowned. It was the fifth day of the lunar month today, and Xiaoshuang had to go home every month, and there were more than ten days left.
"Why didn't this girl come in? She's in trouble?"
"No, it's because..." Ma Chun's face became more and more strange: "Because the boss's wife is back."
Unable to breathe, Lin Dong coughed several times.
Boss lady?
Speaking of the proprietress, there was actually one in Linji Inn before, that was Yang Qingting, the fourth lady of the Yang family. Of course, since Yang Qingting asked for a divorce letter five years ago, there was no boss lady in Linji Inn.
"There are others?" Lin Dong believed that although after five years, Miss Yang Si may no longer regard herself as a servant of the Yang family, she would not have come in after waiting for the notification outside the door.
Ma Chun secretly praised the shopkeeper's wise mind and quickly explained: "In addition to Xiaoshuang and the boss's wife, there is also a young man named Yang Ling."
"Yang Ling?"
Lin Dong showed surprise, the sixth young master of the Yang family?
Xiaoshuang is a daughter, so she has no reason to greet her. Yang Qingting called her ex and gave her good benefits and suffered a lot. In Lin Dong's eyes, this woman had nothing to do with her.
Yang Ling is different, this is his ex's only benefactor.
"Prepare tea!"
After giving an order, Lin Dong strode towards the lobby.
In the direction of the lobby counter, Xiaoshuang was smiling and chatting with Yang Qingting with questions and answers. Beside the two, a young man in white clothes and a silver sword on his waist moved slightly, looking at the diners in the lobby.
"Sixth Master!"
From afar, Lin Dong greeted him.
Yang Ling's body shook slightly, and looked at Lin Dong who was walking towards him, and his eyes suddenly became a little dazed.
With a resolute face, deep eyes, and agile steps, looking at Lin Dong with extraordinary demeanor, Yang Ling was filled with emotion and opened his arms: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, right? You're almost unable to recognize me."
"It's almost ten years!" Lin Dong nodded and asked for help, "Sixth Master, please come in."
Intimate, but not intimate. This sense of alienation made Yang Ling feel a little sad, so he had to put down his arm and nodded.
The book boy who depended on him for his life and kept him in mind seemed to have regarded himself as an outsider under the erosion of time.
"Dad!" Seeing Lin Dong appear, Lin Shuang seemed to have seen a savior and rushed over.
Lin Shuang actually doesn’t have much memory of Yang Qingting’s nominal mother. She has only been together for about a year. All this woman has brought her was cold awe.
After rubbing Lin Shuang's hair into chaos, Lin Dong smiled and said, "Go and play! It's winter soon, I'll take you to buy new clothes later."
"Yeah!" Lin Shuang nodded quickly and ran away.
"Miss Yang, please come in!" Lin Dong looked at Yang Qingting politely.
The beautiful face of peony and the cold temperament of Qiufrost. Miss Yang Si has not seen each other for five years and has not changed much, but she is more restrained.
Yang Qingting nodded, opened her red lips lightly, and said lightly: "I didn't expect that your Linji Inn will really start to make a profit."
"It's just good luck." Lin Dong smiled.
"You have changed a lot." Yang Qingting frowned.
"I almost starved to death. If it remains unchanged, Miss Yang will not see me."
Lin Dong turned around and took Yang Ling into the backyard.
After Ma Chun brought the tea and thanked him, Yang Ling took a sip and said slowly: "Isn't it a fault for going to Qiushui Academy to bring Xiaoshuang together first?"
Lin Dong shook his head slowly: "If it were someone else, I would think that the other party wanted to threaten me with Xiaoshuang. The Sixth Master just wanted to meet Xiaoshuang and save the time to go to Qiushui Academy to pick up Xiaoshuang first, and then set off to Qiufeng City."
Yang Ling smiled bitterly: "I remember using the title of Sixth Young Master, only when you first entered the Yang family to be a book boy for me at the age of six."
Lin Dong also smiled bitterly. He could repay Yang Ling's kindness to his ex. But the friendship between his ex and Yang Ling's dependence on each other is different from the family affection for Tianhao and Lin Shuang. It has been a long time ago. Just like his ex's admiration for Yang Qingting, he has only memories, so what can he empathize with?
"Talk Tianhao!" Yang Qingting said indifferently: "Cao Wei broke his legs and went back. Don't you want us to break legs and go back to the Yang family, right?"
Lin Dong looked at Yang Ling. Although he didn't know the reason, he remembered that Yang Ling was kicked out of the Yang family.
In the memory of his ex, Yang Ling had a deep hatred for the Yang family and Yang Huailiang, his father. Lin Dong could not understand why Yang Ling suddenly became a lobbyist for the Yang family.
Looking at Lin Dong's puzzled expression, Yang Ling forced a smile and said, "I left you alone to find the sect to become a disciple. On the way, I met a strong man who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Seeing that I had good qualifications, he accepted me as a disciple. Three years ago, my master passed away, and I was tired of traveling around. I remembered the past days and went back to the Yang family. Fortunately, my father had already forgiven my mistakes and did not punish me, so I stayed there."
Lin Dong was silent, this was a nonsense.
The Yang family may not know how deep Yang Ling hated the Yang family back then, but he knew clearly. Lin Dong even believed that if Yang Huailiang stood in front of Yang Ling with his hands tied up, Yang Ling would cut Yang Huailiang's head without hesitation.
The sound of a bang knock on the door was heard. Lin Dong got up and opened the door and saw Ma Chun standing outside the door.
"Shopkeeper, Fenglin Restaurant has reduced the stewed turtle with Fengtong leaves to one tael of silver per serving, and the high-priced wine and food has also been reduced to half the price."
Fenglin Restaurant?
Yang Ling and the other two were surprised. They obviously didn't know that Fenglin Restaurant had begun to enter the county town.
Lin Dong said without hesitation: "There is another drop in the afternoon of the ninth day of the lunar month, and stewed turtle with maple tung leaves, nine cents a portion of silver. The high-priced wine and food dropped to 45%."
"Um!"
Ma Chun nodded and left immediately.
"Chu Jiu?" Yang Qingting said unhappily: "Lin Dong, are you not planning to go back to the Yang family with us?"
"You should have been to the Gu Huanzong. Tianhao and his master went out for a trip. Why did I go to the Yang family? Could it be that your Yang family really plan to recruit me as their son-in-law?" Lin Dong sat down on a wooden chair and said lazily: "I'm not interested in marrying into the Yang family."
Yang Qingting's expression stagnated. From Cao Wei's breaking back to the Yang family, she vaguely felt that after five years of not seeing each other, Lin Dong might not be the one who dared not even speak in front of her. But she could not have imagined that Lin Dong's attitude towards her would change to this extent.
He was not interested in joining the Yang family. If it were someone else, Yang Qingting would not care about the meaning of the man. But this was from Lin Dong... but he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Take out a yellowed piece of paper and a stack of silver notes from the storage spirit ring and put it on the table. Yang Qingting said, "This is a divorce letter and 200,000 taels of silver. Judging from the size of the inn, you should have made a lot of money in the past few years, but competing with Fenglin Restaurant is just to hit the stone with eggs. As long as you are willing, the Yang family can help you open the largest inn in Qiufeng City."
"Is it an egg to hit the stone? I have tried it and found out that no matter how rich Fenglin Restaurant is, it is impossible to spend millions of taels of silver and smash it into a small county town. As for the others... let's talk about it then! I'll help you arrange the guest room first."
Lin Dong did not give any reply. If Yang Qingting came alone, he would refuse without hesitation. However, Yang Ling, who once regarded his ex as kind as a mountain as a brother, also came. Although he still would not agree to marry into the Yang family, he had to figure out what Yang Ling was going to return to the Yang family for.
