Chapter 72 Small Inn

Beijing, Lingjia Villa.

It was late at night and in the study, Ling Weifeng leaned on the recliner, closing his eyes to rest.

On the desk, stacks of account books are neatly stacked, and their thickness is enough to make any accountant dizzy.

The sound of knocking on the door came, and it seemed particularly clear in this quiet night.

"Second brother, it's me!" Ling Zhengyang's voice sounded outside the door.

Ling Weifeng stood up and opened the door. What came into view was a handsome face with a slightly excited look.

He raised the envelope in Ling Weifeng's hand and Ling Zhengyang excitedly said: "The county-level building division plan finally shows the first county town that may be lost."

Ling Weifeng looked indifferently. The county-level building plan had already been expected, and even if he retreated from one-third of the county town, it would be within the expected range. After all, the size of Fenglin Restaurant was enough to exceed the level of the big tree attracting wind, and it would be no exaggeration to say that he was walking on thin ice.

The more you are, the more powerful and wealthy the opposite characters are. Instructing several prefectures and county magistrates to make trouble, that is the simplest trick. It is just a small county town, if you encounter difficulties, you will lose it, and it will not make the third young master of the Ling family so excited and lose his composure.

Unless... it can bring any amazing benefits to the Ling family.

Sitting down again on the recliner, Ling Weifeng said lightly: "Tell me!"

"The strong enemy is the real strong enemy!" Ling Zhengyang waved the envelope in his hand excitedly: "Didn't rely on any government forces, he is so arrogant that Fenglin Restaurant is desperate, and it is the Fenglin Restaurant in Xilan City."

"Zhilan City?" Ling Weifeng frowned. Jiang Yichu's apprentice who was causing trouble seemed to have been fooled to go to Xilan City.

Although this kid is annoying and his cooking skills are a few worse than his senior brother, he is enough to be a chef in the Fenglin Restaurant at the mansion level.

"That's it?" Ling Weifeng looked up at Ling Zhengyang. There were places where there were hidden dragons and tigers. There was nothing that a person with superb cooking skills could do in a small county town. If you can, you can accept it. If you can't accept it, it's fine. If it threatens Jiang Yichu's status, just let him disappear.

"It's not just this, you can take a look at the news first." Ling Zhengyang put the envelope in his hand on the table.

He took out the letter and glanced a few times. Ling Weifeng nodded and said calmly: "Good idea!"

"It's not just good!" Ling Zhengyang clenched his fist with his right palm and said, "The concept of consultation cards is definitely more genius than the poetry calligraphy and painting cards I came up with. Because poetry calligraphy and painting cards are only suitable for county-level Fenglin Restaurants, the more the consultation cards are, the greater the effect they are."

"No wonder you are so excited!" Ling Weifeng knocked on the table and said, "Do you want to promote consulting cards in all restaurants?"

Ling Zhengyang's face was flushed, "Yes! Moreover, he is genius, I am not bad either. He just provides merchants with an occasion to exchange information and find cooperation. With the scale of our Fenglin Restaurant throughout the Han Dynasty and the relationship with officials, we can add something more attractive - collecting information from all over the Han Dynasty and the latest trends of the imperial court."

Ling Weifeng looked slightly sideways. Although he felt that his greatest competitiveness would always be Quan and Jin, he had to become interested in this idea.

In addition to the advantages of drinking and cooking skills, Fenglin Restaurants at the prefecture and county level rely on conquering the officials in the area first, and then using these officials to attract wealthy customers. When they meet competitors, they simply rely on greater power to crush the other party or use more money to drag the other party down.

It is precisely because of this that many places in Fenglin Restaurant retreated. The reason is that the bosses behind many large restaurants are the prefects or county maids, and the prefects or county maids are all hostile connections. If they fight too hard, it is easy to cause disputes in the court.

If we can defeat our opponents through legitimate means, if these prefects or county maids attacked, the Ling family's counterattack would not be deemed.

"Second brother, I want to go to Xilan City." Ling Zhengyang resolutely said: "It is rare to encounter such a strong enemy, and it is just a small inn. You have to see the method of seeing the shopkeeper of this inn."

"You proposed the county-level sub-building plan, and only you can do it well. Now that you add this consultation card, do you have this free time?" Ling Weifeng said without any doubt: "Stay honestly in the capital city. The matter of Xilan City is the matter of the Fenglin Restaurant at the Mansion level."

"Second brother, can you withdraw from the Fenglin Restaurant in Xilan City?" Ling Zhengyang asked in a low voice.

"No!" Ling Weifeng said with a cold look: "No matter how small the enemy is, he is an enemy!"

Ling Zhengyang's face was slightly dark. He liked open conspiracy, and his second brother loved conspiracy the most.

Since the second brother took over the affairs of Fenglin Restaurant, the shopkeepers of various county governments have gradually developed the habit of using power and money to squeeze out their opponents. Although the methods are simple and crude, they have obvious advantages. Unless this inn called Linji has a considerable backer, in order to avoid causing disputes in the court, Fenglin Restaurant will withdraw from the city of Xilan. Otherwise, even if a small inn has extraordinary business methods, it is destined to fall under the oppression of power and money.

...

The Xilan City Martial Arts Institute was still empty. When she stepped into the lobby, Yang Laiting was fiddling with the account book in front of her. Compared to the last time, although she was also listless, her face was much rosy.

It seemed that someone was coming. Yang Laiting looked up and glanced at him. After finding that it was Lin Dong, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Lin Dong smiled and said, "Come here to get the Spirit Gathering Pill."

"Get the Spirit Gathering Pill?" Yang Laiting said in confusion: "Didn't you give you a share of two months? Why did you come in just one and a half months... You have to go far?"

Lin Dong shook his head and smiled, "It's all used up."

Yang Laiting frowned: "Have you given it to someone else?"

"No, I'm the only one."

Lin Dong was too lazy to pull it off again, so he came to the counter. He didn't be polite to Yang Laiting. He grabbed the spirit-testing stone on the counter, placed his palm on the top of the pillar, and his spiritual power rushed out of his dantian and rushed towards the spirit-testing stone under his palm.

Below the blood-red stone pillar, a layer of silver white slowly rose up, and after reaching the lower middle section, there was no inch of progress.

"The four-point score in the spiritual period is good, good, and the progress is very great."

Yang Laiting couldn't help but nodded and praised. In just one and a half months, he had jumped from the third level of the spiritual period to the fourth level of the spiritual period. This talent...

The smile of praise suddenly froze. Yang Laiting lowered his head and looked at the spirit-testing stone with some difficulty. Although Lin Dong had removed his spiritual power, the spiritual power injected into the spirit-testing stone had not dissipated, and the position of the silver-white luster did not change from before.

With a gurgle, Yang Laiting swallowed hard, then turned around and rushed into the backyard.

After a moment, Ren Qingsong rushed into the lobby first, and his red face was filled with excitement and excitement that he could not hold on to himself.

After finding a genius who can go from the third level of the spiritual stage to the fourth level of the spiritual stage in two months, Ren Qingsong has been so happy that he can't even calm down in his practice. He never thought that this speed could be further.

This undoubtedly means that he has taken another big step from the position of the president of the fourth-rank prefecture-level martial arts testing institute.

After a few words of modesty, there was no need for Lin Dong to remind him that Ren Qingsong happily ran back to the backyard. When he came out again, he held a small porcelain bottle tightly in his hand.

"At the speed of your triple level of the spiritual period to the fourth level of the spiritual period, it only takes less than two months to the fifth level of the spiritual period. There are seven spirit-gathering pills, enough for two months." Ren Qingsong smiled and said, "If you can use it faster, of course it's best."

Lin Dong laughed silently. He could get half a month ahead of schedule because the inn was just level 3. If you want to speed up, you have to expect that the inn would have 4 times the cultivation bonus after upgrading. The inn's current experience value is only 43% at level 3, and it will take at least two months to fill every day.

"By the way, Manager Lin..." Looking at Lin Dong's face, Ren Qingsong said carefully: "When I'm fine, can you take the spirit test stone to the inn to see you?"

The address and name can be found in the registration book. Lin Dong was not surprised that Ren Qingsong knew his identity. He thought about it and nodded, "Of course."
