Chapter 131 One positive and one negative
At noon the next day, in the gloomy weather, Lin Dong took Ma Chun to Wanbin Tower two streets away.
The news that Liu Hao was inquiring was not much different. As soon as he stepped into the lobby, the aura of wealth came to his face. The first floor was magnificent, with gold-plated window flowers, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and bright and dazzling vases... At first glance, it even makes people wonder which hall of a wealthy family was found.
"How do you feel?" Lin Dong looked at the lobby with about half the attendance rate and asked Ma Chun beside him.
"Why does this... feel a bit tacky?" Ma Chun whispered.
Lin Dong laughed. It seemed that he was not suddenly becoming elegant, but that Wanbin Tower was indeed vulgar, so vulgar that even vulgar people felt vulgar.
While looking at the decorations in the lobby, a guy slowly walked forward: "Which one?"
"You have to report to your family for a meal?" Ma Chun said lightly.
The guy smacked his lips. Ninety percent of the guests in Wanbinlou wanted to get close to the Peng family. They spent money here and bought relationships rather than food, so the accountant would write the identity of the guests when accounting.
I don’t know this rule, it is undoubtedly the first time I have come to Wanbin Tower.
"Please, please, two of you!"
The guy stretched out his hand and led Lin Dong and the others to an empty table. He didn't even wipe the table a few times, nor did he act like serving tea. He asked directly: "What do you want to eat?"
"What is your best wine? What is the best dish?" Ma Chun asked.
"The best wine is thyme, the most..."
"Thyme?" The two were surprised. Thyme is indeed the best wine in Qiufeng City, but in a big restaurant, it will not become the best wine unless it lasts for 30 years.
Ma Chun couldn't help asking, "How many years?"
"Five years!" the guy said casually.
Lin Dong couldn't help asking, "How much does a pot cost?"
The guy asked and answered questions and said without a smile: "Thirty taels of silver per pot."
puff……
Ma Chun didn't lift it up in one breath, and the saliva in his mouth squirted out. Fortunately, Lin Dong saw the opportunity quickly and quickly lowered his body to avoid it.
The wine pot in the restaurant is only one pound at most, and the five-year thyme, thirty taels of silver per pound... Not only Ma Chun, but even Lin Dong's huge sum of nearly 300,000 taels of silver was secretly glad that he asked, otherwise, this sucker would have been determined.
Lin Dong asked: "How much does the cheapest wine cost?"
"Blue wine, two hundred tins of a pot."
Since he was here to spy on the enemy's situation, there was no reason not to taste the other party's wine and food, Lin Dong said helplessly: "Come a pot of blue bar!"
"What is the best dish?" Thinking of the price of five-year thyme, Ma Chun added: "How much is a plate of silver?"
"Braised snow beef, sixty taels of silver per plate."
Lin Dong had served. He had never seen Xueniu, but he had heard of it. A third-level spirit beast. One was estimated to cost 180 taels of silver to buy it, but the inner elixir alone had to occupy 80% of the value. What's more, a snow ox weighed thousands of pounds, and sixty taels of silver to roast the whole beef, a plate...
"Come a few cheap side dishes!" Lin Dong retreated again and could only barely test Wanbinlou's cooking skills.
"Okay, wait!"
There has never been a restaurant in Peng's house who dares to eat a tycoon meal. Therefore, the guy did not remind the cheapest side dishes to require a liang of silver and a plate. He turned around gorgeously and walked away with his clean sleeves.
For a moment, the wine and food were served, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of braised tofu in oil, and a plate of scrambled eggs with chili peppers.
The wine is a bit bad, the dry and the throat is burned. The vegetables are pretty good, the vegetables are tender, the tofu is refreshing, and the eggs are fresh and fragrant.
It's just too expensive.
If it is just a small restaurant, it costs 20 to 30 cents in total, it will definitely be worth the money.
But just a little thing is worth five taels of silver. If it weren't for knowing it wasn't cheap in advance, Lin Dong really had the urge to eat a bully meal.
Fortunately, although I became a sucker, I can be sure that the only selling point of Wanbin Tower is the face of the Peng family.
After leaving Wanbin Tower, the two of them rushed to the Kelai Restaurant without stopping.
Compared with Wanbin Tower, the Kelai Restaurant is one positive and one reverse. The decoration is almost negligible, and it is not much better than Linji Inn in Xilan City. The same is true for the guy. As soon as he entered the door, he jogged over with a smile.
Seeing the lobby full, Ma Chun seemed to have returned to Linji Inn in Xilan City, and couldn't help but praise: "The business is good!"
"There are all blessings for you guests. Please sit upstairs, in addition to the private rooms on the second floor, there are several empty tables."
Lin Dong nodded and, under the guidance of his friend, went all the way to the second floor.
After wiping the table and stools and pouring tea, the guy dined and introduced the wine and food of the guest restaurant.
Whether it is ordinary wine and dishes or spiritual beasts and spiritual materials, the price of this Kelai Restaurant is very affordable. In addition to the braised carp that you cannot order, eating a meal at Wanbin Tower is equivalent to vain. Lin Dong simply ordered the good wine and dishes from Kelai Restaurant one by one.
When the wine and food were served one after another, Lin Dong was a hand-off manager, but he was quite familiar with the cost of the ingredients. He knew that the amount of the wine and food was indeed fair and affordable. The profits of dishes such as spiritual beasts and spiritual materials were only one or two times. If even the chef's wages were converted into ordinary dishes, it would be only 10 to 20% of the profits.
After tasting the taste again, it has a lot of color, fragrance and taste, but it is a bit salty, but it just fits the taste of people in Qiufengcheng.
After a meal, he ate hard. Ma Chun touched his bloated belly and whispered: "Shopkeeper, this Kelai Restaurant is much better than Wanbin House. Once the inn opens, Kelai Restaurant will definitely be a strong enemy."
Lin Dong shook his head. Kelai Restaurant relies on cooking skills, service and price. The only disadvantage of Lin Ji Inn is that the price of spiritual beasts and spiritual materials is relatively high. The cooking skills include stewed turtle with maple tung leaves and cooking skills, which is not inferior to Kelai Restaurant.
As for the service attitude of the guy, Lin Dong believes that Lin Ji Inn is even better than that. With the added comfort bonus, Lin Ji Inn is only strong and not weak.
More importantly, whether it is the chef's cooking skills or the quality of a guy, Linji Inn has huge room for growth. If time can compete well, Linji Inn can completely abandon Kelai Restaurant far away.
Lin Dong felt that Wanbinlou was the biggest enemy.
With the service attitude and cooking skills, the attendance rate can reach more than 50%. The Peng family’s relationship network is not bad. No matter how hard Linji Inn works, it is probably impossible to loosen these relationship networks.
This is because the Peng family only regards Wanbinlou as a tool for receiving gifts. If they really need to manage and manage it well, Wanbinlou also has a lot of room for improvement.
"Shopkeeper, it seems that it's already noon. Should I go to Yingfeng Tower or go back to the inn later?" Ma Chun asked.
When I spy on the enemy's situation, I naturally have to see how many occupancy rates the other party has when its business is the best. After thinking about it, Lin Dong said, "Let's go back to the inn first! Go to Yingfeng Tower in the evening."
"Um!"
Ma Chun nodded and called the guy. As soon as he settled the bill, it was 18 taels of silver in total. Although the price was not expensive, most of the dishes on the table were spiritual beasts and spiritual materials, which was also fair and affordable.
