"Shopkeeper Lin, our Fenglin Restaurant is responsible for providing you with perfume for a long time, Lin Ji Inn only needs to use twelve spirit beast spirit materials and VIP cards and other characteristics to help contain it, this deal, no one should suffer, right?"

Looking at Lin Dong's somewhat stunned expression, Liang Gu was in his chest.

"That ......" Lin Dong was indeed a little hesitant, if Fenglin Restaurant could really provide perfume to Lin Ji Inn for a long time, it would definitely greatly improve the strength of Lin Ji Inn.

Although the suppression of Hongfu Restaurant by spending various characteristics in advance has a great obstacle to increasing the number of regular customers of Lin Ji Inn, it can be said that once this is done, Lin Ji Inn will be able to exhaust its advantages after two or three months. Until Fenglin Restaurant defeats Hongfu Restaurant, I am afraid it will be difficult to cultivate many regular customers. When the time comes, Fenglin Restaurant will have its hands free, and it will be much easier and simpler to deal with Lin Ji Inn, which has no advantage at all.

Similarly, if you can get a perfume, it will not be of much benefit to the Lin Kee Inn in Lingnan City, after all, the Fenglin Restaurant in Lingnan City also has a perfume. However, Lin Ji Inn is not only one in Lingnan City, but only six of the ten branches in Qiufeng Mansion occupy more than fifty percent of the city's spirit beast spirit materials. With this perfume, it means that the other four Lin Ji Inn will have the strength to dominate the county seat in advance, and when the branch of Fucheng County under the jurisdiction of Lingnan City opens, the benefits will be greater.

Calculated to sum up, it is equivalent to using the development of the main store to speed up the development of the branch. Fish and bear's paws, it's hard to choose.

"Shopkeeper Lin!" Liang Gufeng continued: "Lin Ji Inn is only responsible for containment, VIP cards, spirit stone fans, and signature dishes...... For these things, you only need to launch the three signature dishes of Hongfu Restaurant, and then order these three dishes, or the price of the VIP card wine and food will be increased by five times, or a plate of signature dishes of Lin Kee Inn will be given away. Speaking of which, as long as Lin Kee Inn suspends the cumulative price of wine and food on the VIP card, and suspends ordering the signature dishes of Lin Kee Inn alone, Lin Kee Inn actually does not have much to lose. ”

Lin Dong shook his head and said nothing, he didn't agree with Liang Gufeng's words at all. Straightening up the cumulative price of wine and food on the VIP card and suspending the ordering of the signature dishes of the Lin Kee Inn alone is indeed a certain delay in overdrawing the characteristics of the Lin Kee Inn in advance to attract diners. But it was only delayed, and it was extremely inconsistent with the publicity before the opening of the Lin Kee Inn. What's more, Liang Gufeng is not a fool, Lin Dong believes that he must have a way to defeat Hongfu Restaurant before Lin Ji Inn can cultivate a large number of regular customers.

Looking at Lin Dong, who was uncertain, Liang Gufeng hesitated for a moment, couldn't help but pick up the teacup, and pretended to joke casually: "With the courage of the shopkeeper Lin, I don't understand this condition, what else do you have to hesitate." ”

Lin Dong was silent, his eyes struggling a little.

Liang Gufeng smiled, but he was a little helpless in his heart, his words were a bit agitated. Originally, this kind of thing should not be said on this occasion, and if Lin Dong heard the urgency hidden behind these words, it was likely that the plan would fail. But he really can't wait, as long as Lin Ji Inn is willing to join forces, he is more than ninety percent sure, even if he can't let Lin Ji Inn withdraw from Lingnan City in embarrassment, it is enough to suppress Lin Ji Inn to the point that the monthly profit is at most not much different from other big restaurants, and it is absolutely impossible to compete with Fenglin Restaurant for super big households.

will say it, just because Liang Gufeng believes that with Lin Dong's blood and strength, he should not be able to stand this kind of words. Even if there is a calmness that does not match his age, it is absolutely impossible to take into account the deep meaning in it.

"Shopkeeper Liang doesn't need to be in a hurry, drink tea and drink tea! The Hongyun tea of our Lin Kee Inn should not be much worse than the sky blue tea of Fenglin Restaurant. Ma Chun stood up coldly, picked up the teapot with a smile, filled Liang Gufeng's teacup, looked at his somewhat stunned face, and said with a smile: "My shopkeeper is not sure whether it is cost-effective or not, if the shopkeeper Liang is not in a hurry, I think it will be how about replying to you in a few days?" ”

Liang Gufeng was stunned, and the remorse in his heart kept coming up. Thousands of calculations, but I didn't count that among the people present, Lin Dong was not the only one. What's even more unexpected is that this also young horse steward can actually rely on the advantage of a bystander to discover the urgency in his heart.

On the side, Lin Dong woke up like a dream. As Liang Gufeng expected, he did not take into account the intention of Liang Gufeng's words for a while, and he was always led by the nose to consider the gains and losses of cooperating with Fenglin Restaurant, but he never thought that at this time, it was Fenglin Restaurant looking for Lin Ji Inn to join forces, and it was Fenglin Restaurant that was anxious.

Lin Ji Inn, do not agree, sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and comfortably take advantage of the competition between Hongfu Restaurant and Fenglin Restaurant. Without considering the gains and losses, he took the liberty of agreeing, but some of them are blessings rather than curses.

can't be entangled, the person who should be entangled is Liang Gufeng. This kind of benefit is not so big that you don't have to think about it, and you can't judge the pros and cons for a while, so you don't have to hesitate at all, and directly refuse it. Anyway, after refusing, Lin Kee Inn also has a lot of benefits.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Lin Dong glanced at Ma Chun approvingly, then moved his gaze to Liang Gufeng with a smile, and looked embarrassed: "Shopkeeper Liang, I think, how about waiting for a few more days?" To be honest, for a while, I really didn't care about the gains and losses. ”

Liang Gufeng suddenly had the urge to lift the stone bench under his buttocks, and a stool to smash Ma Chun to death.

Helpless, after a quick calculation in his mind, Liang Gufeng also looked embarrassed: "Shopkeeper Lin, it's not that I can't wait, it's really ...... Don't hide it from Shopkeeper Lin and Steward Ma, I have actually made a plan with Chen Yantian, the owner of Tianlai Casino, to join forces to deal with Hong Wanfu, and I also promised Chen Yantian that I can persuade Shopkeeper Lin to join the ranks of joining forces today. If you go back and say that Shopkeeper Lin has to think about it for a few days...... The two also knew that a few nights ago, someone suddenly spread rumors that Boss Chen and the county lord conspired to suppress the Hongfu gambling house. According to Boss Chen's inference, this rumor should have been spread by Hong Wanfu in order to catch Boss Chen off guard. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Lin Dong and Ma Chun looked surprised.

Liang Gufeng sneered, a little bit of a brain, and knew that Hong Wanfu deliberately posted a notice the day before that he had joined forces with Lin Ji Inn, and he could definitely guess that the rumor was actually spread by Lin Ji Inn.

These two protagonists pretended not to know anything, they were young, and it was a pity not to do the show.

Of course, Liang Gufeng himself has been pretending to be stupid all the time, and he didn't want to say anything to Lin Dong and Ma Chun for deliberately interrupting him, so he had to nod and continue: "Boss Chen is also very human, after learning that Hongfu Restaurant is suppressing our Fenglin Restaurant, he decided to go the opposite way, which is not as good as Hong Wanfu's wishes, and in turn he was caught off guard. So, I deigned to go to the Maple Grove Restaurant to find me. After a deep talk, they will definitely join forces to deal with Hong Wanfu. ”

Deign? Personally?

Lin Dong and Ma Chun glanced at each other, these two words were used well. The former lifted Chen Yantian to the sky, and the latter strengthened some permission letters. The intention is undoubtedly to tell yourself that Chen Yantian's identity is extraordinary, you Lin Ji Inn has already offended Chen Yantian once, and if you dare to offend again, not to mention Chen Yantian's own identity as the casino owner, just by virtue of Chen Yantian's relationship with Juntai, the consequences are already unimaginably serious!

Ma Chun's eyes rolled, although Lin Ji Inn already had Fu Tongshan as a backhand for Chen Yantian, but the less people knew about this matter, the more difficult it was to go. You must know that Lin Ji Inn and Fu Tongshan actually don't have much friendship, on the contrary, there is a lot of grudges.

Thinking about it, Ma Chun was about to open his mouth to press it, but he didn't think about it, Liang Gufeng had already seen his intentions, and preemptively said with annoyance: "Shopkeeper Lin, I am also to blame for this." I shouldn't have promised Boss Chen that I could convince Shopkeeper Lin today. In this case, I will go back and explain to Boss Chen now and see if I can delay this matter for a few days. ”

With that, Liang Gufeng stood up.

"Shopkeeper Liang is not in a hurry!" At Lin Dong's suggestion, Ma Chun hurriedly got up to stop him, and found a familiar official in the county to vaguely reveal the relationship between Lin Ji Inn and Fu Tongshan, which is still in progress. Liang Gufeng really couldn't see Lin Ji Inn sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so he persuaded Chen Yantian to find trouble with Lin Ji Inn first, but he would have fun.

Lin Kee Inn is not afraid of anything, just afraid of official trouble. Unless the strength of the Lin Ji Inn can be strong enough not to be afraid of Tianwei Pavilion, otherwise, in the event of official trouble, there is only one way to go.

"Steward Ma, you are ......" Liang Gufeng borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and sat down again.

Ma Chun couldn't help but look at Lin Dong, he was out of options. Liang Gufeng moved out of Chen Yantian, as long as Juntai was ten days and eight days late, or the degree of attack was not serious, just sent a few officials to catch the mountain bandits or something, for Lin Ji Inn, it was actually not a trouble, as long as ten days and eight days passed, when the county Tai knew the relationship between Lin Ji Inn and Fu Tongshan from the side, he would definitely stop and apologize.

But if this county is an impatient person, he will send someone to find a reason to seal the Lin Ji Inn for the first time, on the grounds that the wine and food are poisonous or colluded with the mountain bandits, and the trouble is not small. Although this is a false accusation, not to mention Fu Tongshan, just by looking for the Chamber of Commerce to come forward, it can be clarified in ten days and eight days.

But the light door was closed for ten days and eight days, and it was because the wine and food were poisonous or colluded with the mountain bandits, even if it was clarified, the negative impact would definitely not be diluted in a year and a half.

"Shopkeeper Liang......" Lin Dong muttered: "I don't know how much perfume can be provided by Fenglin Restaurant to Lin Ji Inn every month?" ”

Liang Gufeng smiled indifferently, is this a compromise?

"If it's summer, a hundred pounds a month. Spring and autumn, three hundred catties per month. As for the winter season, no less than a thousand catties can be guaranteed per month. ”

"How's the price?" Lin Dong said with a natural expression: "In addition, how many dishes can be fried per catty?" ”

"If it's a catty, it's ten taels of silver at Lin Ji Inn." Liang Gufeng understood that even if Lin Dong compromised, if he really wanted to be dissatisfied, he would probably join forces with Hong Wanfu to find a way to bring down the new Juntai, or make friends with people who could suppress the new Juntai, so he explained without concealment: "How many dishes can be fried per catty, it depends on how thick the flavor of these dishes is planned by Lin Ji Inn." It's too fragrant, but it's a bit too much. According to our Fenglin Restaurant, it is almost a pound of perfume mixed into ten plates of wine and food, of course, the real amount depends on the amount of wine and food, and the average amount is almost this amount. That is to say, after adding perfume to a dish, the cost increases by one or two silver. ”

After a pause, Liang Gufeng continued: "According to the cost of adding perfume to our Fenglin Restaurant in the Chamber of Commerce, it is calculated as twenty taels of silver and forty percent of the profit, which is equivalent to an additional profit of one or two taels of silver. As long as the wine and food added by the perfume are set as more than ten taels of silver in the spirit animal spirit materials, the increased price of the wine and food is not only negligible, but also can attract many high-rollers who are willing to eat dozens of taels of silver for a meal. ”

"Too expensive, too little!" Lin Dong frowned, Liang Gufeng's words made his expectations for this perfume drop to a low point. Not to mention that it is only 100 catties in summer, even in winter, it is only 1,000 catties, which is equivalent to only 10,000 plates of spirit beast spirit materials.

Take the Lin Ji Inn in Autumn Wind City as an example, just ten private rooms, there are more than 100 tables of super large households every day, and there are three or four thousand tables a month. Even if you order one or two plates at a table, there is not much left of this perfume. As for other counties, or even branches in the future, don't even think about it.

Moreover, ten taels of silver a catty, the cost is too high, which is equivalent to only being used to attract those super big households, if it is added to the spirit beast spirit materials of the first or second order, the big ones are likely to choose to give up because the price of wine and food has doubled.

It can be said that this perfume is completely inconsistent with Lin Dong's expectations.

"It's a bit expensive, and it's a little less. It is really difficult to collect this perfume, and I can only guarantee that the cost of Lin Kee Inn's perfume will not be higher than that of Fenglin Restaurant, and it will not be less than the amount of Fenglin Restaurant. Liang Gufeng helplessly spread his hands.

Lin Dong was silent, and in terms of cost, he couldn't verify it. In terms of quantity, it is clear how many plates of spirit beast spirit materials with perfume are sold in Fenglin Restaurant every month, and Liang Gufeng will not lie.

However, even if Liang Gufeng is telling the truth, the attraction of this perfume is still much worse. Lin Dong's expectation for this perfume is to improve the strength of the entire Lin Kee Inn, not to improve the strength of one or two branches. What's more, even if it is a branch, it is limited to improving the attractiveness of those super large customers.

In terms of the share of perfume provided by Liang Gufeng, the actual benefits that Lin Ji Inn got from it were an extra income of five hundred taels of silver per month, and the indirect benefits were one thousand eight hundred taels. Added up, about 20,000 taels of silver a year, which is equivalent to the profit of a county-level branch.

Since the sale of the worldly treasures obtained from the Xingli Sect, minus the expenses for buying spirit stones and opening a branch, Lin Lin finally calculated that Lin Dong still had more than two million taels of silver on hand, and this benefit was nothing at all.

"Shopkeeper Lin, as long as there is the same amount of perfume as Fenglin Restaurant. With the various characteristics of Lin Ji Inn, there should be no need to worry about our Fenglin Restaurant turning around to deal with Lin Ji Inn after defeating Hongfu Restaurant in the future, right? This deal, no matter how it is calculated, Lin Ji Inn will not suffer a loss. What's more......" Liang Gufeng said meaningfully: "Because of this, I can also make friends with the Lord of Juntai through Boss Chen, plus the benefits brought by the lack of Hongfu Restaurant, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone." ”

Lin Dong smiled and was noncommittal. I don't believe it if he is killed, Fenglin Restaurant will have no way to turn the gun to deal with Lin Ji Inn afterwards.

"Shopkeeper Lin......" Liang Gufeng began to look down on Lin Dong, the pressure from the county and the actual benefits, no matter which aspect, Lin Ji Inn had no reason to refuse.

This shopkeeper Lin hesitated, but he was really not a bold person. I don't know how it was done to open more than a dozen branches in more than two years.

"Shopkeeper Liang......" Lin Dong asked coldly: "I heard that this perfume is in the form of ice cubes?" ”

"Hmm!" Liang Gufeng didn't understand Lin Dong's intentions, so he just nodded in response.

"Only Lingnan City Fenglin Restaurant has it, I think, the origin of this fragrance." Lin Dong smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's in Lingnan County, right?" ”

Liang Gufeng also smiled, this shopkeeper Lin seemed to want to find out the source of the perfume.

"Does Shopkeeper Lin know why it is only available in Lingnan City Fenglin Restaurant, and the quantity is small and the cost is high?"

Lin Dong shook his head: "If Shopkeeper Liang doesn't mind, I want to see it for a long time." ”

Liang Gufeng took out a small brocade box from the placket of his clothes, put it on the table, and then pushed it to Lin Dong, and said: "Inside is a sample of perfume, Shopkeeper Lin can take it to the kitchen for the cook to try later." ”

Lin Dong opened the brocade box, and inside, there was a blue ice cube six or seven centimeters square, and there was a layer of oiled paper under the brocade box, and there was a layer of blue water stains on the oiled paper, which was obviously a water stain after the ice cube melted.

Fingers were slightly placed on top of the brocade box, and a wave of cold air rushed up.

"How do you try?"

"Adding perfume is sweet and refreshing. Shopkeeper Lin can spend money to find an alchemist to taste it, and he should be able to confirm that this water does not contain any spiritual energy, that is, it can be confirmed that this water is indeed collected. ”

Sweet and refreshing? Lin Dong smacked his lips, if the cost was low enough, he could drink it as a drink.

Liang Gufeng continued to explain: "Come again, Shopkeeper Lin asked the cook to take out this ice cube and put it in a bowl for a day or two, which should melt about half. The remaining ice cubes are then added to the dish, and half of the melted water is used for the dish, and half is drunk. When the time comes, you will be able to confirm that what I say is true. ”

"What does Shopkeeper Liang mean......" Ma Chun couldn't help but be surprised: "This perfume can only be used in the dish when it is iced?" If it turns into water, it just tastes better, but it doesn't have any effect when used in the dish? ”

Liang Gufeng gave Ma Chun a thumbs up, and after praising it, he said: "Not only that, this perfume can only become ice if it is extremely cold, you will know this as soon as you try it." Extreme cold can freeze, I think, you two should know what it means, right? ”

Lin Dong and the others nodded slowly, the ice that can only be formed by extreme cold means that this perfume will melt even in winter, and it cannot be stored at all. In addition, the hardness is extremely high, and the cold weather makes it difficult to collect. In addition, only when the perfume is added can it be used in the dish when it is iced, the cost and quantity can be imagined.

"In terms of fragrance, it only takes a day or two to confirm. Shopkeeper Lin promised to join forces today, only for a day or two, as long as the contract states this, it shouldn't be a problem. Liang Gufeng asked with a smile: "Since it can be determined that the quantity and cost of Tian Perfume will not be fake, naturally there is no need to worry that Lin Ji Inn will not be able to profit from Tian Perfume." I wonder if Shopkeeper Lin has any other doubts about joining forces? ”

Lin Dong frowned slightly, and after a moment, he quietly stretched out.

Adding perfume is very expensive for Fenglin Restaurant, but it is not necessarily the case for Lin Kee Inn.

The Lin Kee Inn system has newly added a cellar that can control the temperature.
