(《》)

Bai Jingtai, father and daughter, had a table, and six guards drove two tables. When Liu Hao led the convoy into the backyard from the side, he came back and added two more guards.

After serving tea and pouring water, Lin Dong asked, "Boss Bai, what should I eat?"

"It doesn't matter, you can get one for every table if you have any good dishes." Bai Jingtai patted the bench on the left and smiled: "It's not an outsider, so Shopkeeper Lin should stop busy, sit together."

"That's not possible. The chef was fired by me, and I couldn't find a new chef for a while. I had to cook myself."

Bai Jingtai was stunned and immediately laughed: "I haven't seen you for a year, so Manager Lin has the courage to fire the chef?"

"There is no way, this cook is getting too much, and he dares to go home in front of him. If he doesn't fire, my inn will have to close the door." Lin Dong replied helplessly.

"I have advised you to fire them a long time ago, and there is also..." Bai Jingtai glanced at Wang Liuzhi and the other five, and became more and more happy: "Honey, have you changed?"

"There are few dishes every now and then, it's not OK to change it!"

"If you change it, Linji Inn will still have great potential in the future."

Bai Jingtai nodded deeply in agreement. In his opinion, this shopkeeper Lin finally got enlightened.

Lin Dong was also feeling emotion. Bai Jingtai's words hit his heart. He lacked the chef and the guys who wanted to eat. Although Lin Ji Inn could not make a fortune, he could still have food and clothing. Otherwise, he would not have found a way to continue operating until the inn system appeared.

To be honest, although Lin Dong looked down on his weak character for his ex, he still respected his character.

Speaking of good people, Lin Dong's ex is a perfect and good person. When it comes to inns and buying groceries, they usually buy bad ones. Because it is cheap, Lin Dong's ex always buys good ones. Moreover, the price is even lower than other companies when it comes to accommodation or meals.

More importantly, who doesn’t know that there is a Linji Inn on Shibei Street in the beggars in Xilan City? In the past two years, there were more beggars coming to Linji Inn than customers. In the next few years, only if they really can’t survive the cold winter, the beggars will come to the door. Why? Because as long as they come to the door, they not only care about their fullness, but also give them some copper coins. Beggars know how to be grateful. After all, they run inns, and come to the door every few days to eat and go to the house sooner or later, not to mention that they will affect other guests’ meals and stay in the hotel.

In this way, after losing five years, Lin Ji Inn began to make a profit this year. Lin Dong believes that it is really difficult for Lin Ji Inn to make money without the protection fee and the chef and the guy's black hands.

There is no way. Lin Ji Inn has been struggling for five years and has a good foundation. Lin Dong is not worried about the occupancy rate at all.

Take Bai Jingtai as an example. After a small place like Xilan City monopolizes the spirit stone business here, it doesn’t need to come here in person every year to let his subordinates deliver goods. The reason why they come here and stay in a small place like Linji Inn is entirely because five years ago, when Bai Jingtai brought three carts of spirit stones to open the market in Xilan City, he was robbed by bandits outside the city.

He was hungry and cold and wandered to Xilan City. He was so hungry that he couldn't help. When he passed by Lin Ji Inn, he came in to ask for water to drink. Lin Dong's ex not only took care of food and accommodation, but also gave him two taels of silver to travel.

Bai Jingtai comes to Xilan City with goods every year, just to visit friends. There may be only one big businessman like him who has received favors from Lin Ji Inn, but there are many ordinary businessmen.

When they came to Xilan City, it was dark. The first thing these merchants thought of was Linji Inn. They only found another family if the guests were full.

puff……

Bai Qi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then sprayed it all out.

"What kind of tea?"

"Good tea!" Lin Dong didn't want to worry about it, but this tea was picked by his ex in the mountains to save money. Tea may not be considered good tea, but the painstaking efforts of carefully selected selection cannot be defiled.

Bai Qi frowned and was about to speak, but Bai Jingtai glared back at a glance, and her heart became more and more unhappy.

Although the Bai family is not a family, it is also developing in this direction. A small inn shopkeeper just gave his father two taels of silver. Do he really treat himself as a figure?

Bai Qi's expression was in sight, but Bai Jingtai had to give him face. Lin Dong clapped his face and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go prepare the wine and food."

"You are busy, you are busy..." Bai Jingtai stood up and gave him a look.

Wang Liuzhi and others were watching in the lobby. Lin Dongliang and the others didn't dare to make trouble. They asked Liu Hao to follow him and went into the kitchen in the backyard to get busy.

After finally finishing the three tables of dishes, Lin Dong washed his hands and was about to go to the lobby to greet Bai Jingtai. Wang Liuzhi trotted in all the way.

"Shopkeeper, there are customers who order dishes, a pound of beef, a grass carp, and a plate of minced meat eggplant."

"Okay, we'll be there soon!"

Lin Dong had to give up his thoughts and continue to work hard. It seems that hiring a chef is the most urgent task now. He originally planned to do both in order to save money, but this intensity is really unnecessary.

It was during the time of staying and eating that Lin Dong had five tables in a row that he calmed down. When he went back to the lobby, he saw that the ten tables were already full of eight tables.

"Shopkeeper Lin, I heard you are the chef?"

"The craftsmanship is good, much better than the one before."

The guests of Linji Inn are all repeat customers who have been slowly made in five years. Lin Dong greeted him all the way to Bai Jingtai's table and saw an extra plate of braised sea bass and steamed hairy crabs on the table. Needless to think about it, Miss Bai must have thought that her food was not good, so she asked her to order it at Fulai Restaurant.

Bai Jingtai's old face turned red and she laughed dryly. Ordering dishes from other restaurants at other people's inn is a bit too much.

Bai Qi suddenly put the chopsticks and stood up: "I won't eat it anymore, and I'll have the signature dishes in the largest restaurant, even the chefs at home."

It’s no shame that he is a lady from a wealthy family. She said this with great ease, and Lin Dong couldn’t help laughing.

Bai Jingtai was an open-minded person. Seeing that Lin Dong had no intention of caring about it, he was too lazy to teach his daughter a lesson. He took out a ingot of five taels of silver and handed it to Lin Dong.

"Shopkeeper Lin, can you open five guest rooms? If it really doesn't work, you can get three."

"The guest rooms are empty, so the deposit is waived. Boss Bai comes here every year. When will he collect the deposit?"

Bai Jingtai smiled and shook his head: "This time it will last more than three or five days, and at least two months."

Living for two months? One great thing! Lin Dong was not polite either. He took the silver and stuffed it into his clothes. Ten people could not afford it without collecting a deposit.

"I'll take you upstairs!" Lin Dong led the way forward and asked while walking: "Boss Bai lives for so long this time. Is there any business to do?"

"How can there be any business?" Bai Jingtai shook his head and said helplessly: "The ancient Huanzong recruits disciples on May 20th. Why don't you bring your little girl here to try your luck."

Lin Dong couldn't help but say, "I heard that the origin of the spirit stone is controlled by the sect. Since Boss Bai is in the spirit stone business and is doing so big, he should be familiar with many sects, right?"

Bai Jingtai smiled bitterly: "I know the outer sects of several sects, but these sects are all large sects, and the requirements for accepting disciples are extremely strict, and they can't do it. There is no way. As long as the ancient Huanzong reaches the seventh level of the spiritual stage before the age of seventeen, he can be admitted as a disciple. There are still two months left. This girl has been in the sixth level of the spiritual stage for a year and a half, and I don't know if she can catch up."

Lin Dong said silently. Although the ancient Huanzong was not big, it was a sect after all, and it was an existence outside the country. For a wealthy merchant like Bai Jingtai, if he wanted to last a long time, he should establish the prototype of a family. As long as the descendants were not too prodigal, a small family could be formed after two or three or four generations.

There was a daughter who was a disciple of the Gu Huanzong. If she could reach the top, it would be no less than buying a talisman for the family in this prototype.

"Oh..." Bai Jingtai sighed heavily: "If we can buy the Tongjing Pill treasured by the Liu family, we will probably have hope to catch up. If we can't buy it, this matter will probably be a bit unrest."

"Why did you tell him these things? He doesn't understand." Bai Qi couldn't help but angrily.

Lin Dong touched his nose. Is there any shopkeeper of a small inn so unpopular?

Unfortunately, Bai Jingtai has other ways to refresh Bai Qi's strength. Otherwise, when the inn is upgraded to level 2, he should be able to help Bai Qi meet the standard of receiving disciples in the ancient Huanzong.

To be honest, Lin Dong had some hope that Bai Jingtai could not get any meditation pills, but it was not that he had any gloating thoughts about Bai Qi. One of the reasons was that Bai Jingtai owed him a favor. The main reason was that he could trigger hidden tasks to help the guests in the inn.

The reward for hidden tasks is extremely generous.

After going upstairs, arranging the room inevitably attracted Bai Qi to mutter again. Lin Dong treated the wind blowing in his ears and returned to the lobby with five taels of silver.

In the lobby, there were two more tables after eating, and Wang Liuzhi was taking the guests upstairs.

After sitting at the counter for a short time, the remaining three tables of people also went upstairs one after another.

Lin Dong silently recited the inn in his heart, and the attributes flashed.

Linji Inn: Level 1 2%

Daily turnover: 862

Spirit Stone: 0/100

Defense value: 0/100

Room: 20

Dining table: 10

Man: 5

Chef: 0

Lin Dongyi concluded that at this speed, if the lobby and guest rooms could be full, it would be possible to upgrade in twenty days.

The inn is upgraded and the spiritual stone is required to start the training bonus, which is the big one of the money.

Lin Dong was a little overwhelmed at the counter. Even if he didn't check the attributes of the daily turnover, he knew that the profit of the 862 cents was only 200 cents. This did not include the wages of Wang Liuzhi and the others. If it were included, he would have to lose some money.

Even if it is full, Wang Liuzhi and others don’t have to pay their wages. They only earn about 500 yuan a day, and only ten taels of silver will be spent in twenty days. It’s a lot, but it only looks like ten yuan to buy spirit stones.

The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge. There is no way, so I can only take one step at a time.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Lin Dong asked Wang Liuzhi to arrange for Bai Jingtai to prepare for the night snack for the guards who were watching in the backyard to prepare for the midnight snack. When he had time, he would pay more attention to whether the guests had encountered any difficult things that could not be done. After waved his hand and closed the door.

Lin Tianhao and his sister were at the college and only came back every 15th. Seeing that nothing was wrong, they had dinner so quickly that Lin Dong returned to the room alone.

Compared with the room of the fourth lady of the Yang family, Lin Dong's room is obviously much simpler, with only a wooden bed and a desk, and nothing else.

After throwing off his shoes and going to bed, Lin Dong sat cross-legged.

As early as a teenager, Lin Dong's ex learned cultivation with the sixth young master of the Yang family. Seeing that the process was slow, not to mention that the sect did not accept it, he didn't even have the qualification to be a guard, so he stopped.

If you practice, you will retreat if you don’t advance. Lin Dong’s ex was at the highest level of the Agility Period, and now... you will return to the first level.

Fortunately, I still remember the route of the exercise. Lin Dong closed his eyes slightly, and his mind was collected. Slowly, his dantian appeared in his inner vision.

After spending half an hour, the empty dantian finally condensed a trace of spiritual energy, and then, under the control of Lin Dong's intention, slowly entered the meridians and started to walk around.

As the spiritual energy in the dantian runs through the meridians, the invisible spiritual energy in the air is pulled and enters the meridians through the skin.
