The carriage galloped all the way, and the distance between the two sides was constantly narrowed with Double Happiness City, where the fifth branch is located.

On the morning of the eighth day, the rolling wheels finally drove into the gate of Double Happiness City with countless wind and dust.

Arriving at the Lin Ji Inn, Lin Dong, who was in a bit of a trance along the way, and even found it difficult to concentrate on cultivation sometimes, quickly walked into the utility room after waving off Liu Hua and Wu Guang.

Arriving at the Lin Ji Inn in Autumn Wind City, Lin Dong checked the situation outside the utility room, pushed open the door, and then walked quickly to the room where the disciples of the Gu Huan Sect were cultivating.

After knocking on the door and asking Jiang Zhen to help call Ma Chun, Lin Dong let out a sigh, couldn't settle down and went to the room to wait for Ma Chun to come over, so the surname Suo strode to the entrance of the backyard and waited for Ma Chun.

A quarter of an hour later, Ma Chunxing hurriedly entered the courtyard gate.

"Ma Chun!" On the side, Lin Dong shouted.

"Shopkeeper, have you arrived at Double Happiness City?" Ma Chun hurriedly asked.

"Here we are." Lin Dong couldn't wait to say: "What is the reaction of Fenglin Restaurant?" ”

Ma Chun grinned widely, hehe laughed, knowing that Lin Dong was anxious, he didn't dare to pretend to be mysterious, and explained: "On the day the Spirit Stone Fan was launched, Ling Zhengyang came over and was perfunctory by me. After grabbing a few days, Ling Zhengyang would come to Lin Ji Inn every day to inquire about the news of the shopkeeper. In the past few days, the surname Suo has stayed in our Lin Ji Inn. ”

"Staying at the Lin Kee Inn?" Lin Dong nervously asked, "What's going on over there at Fenglin Restaurant?" ”

"There's no movement, it's dry." Ma Chun explained: "It's always been a fold, and it's useless to drop it again. The big restaurants that betrayed our alliance were closed the day before yesterday. In my opinion, there is no need to wait for this summer to pass, and within a month, the remaining six stores will have to close. No, it should be seven, and there is also Fenglin Restaurant. ”

Lin Dong waved his right fist fiercely, the last time Yu Peony and the others arrived at Lin Ji Inn, there was no movement in Fenglin Restaurant, he could feel that Ling Zhengyang was unwilling to fail, there must be some backhand. And this time, there was no movement either, but he firmly believed that Ling Zhengyang had admitted defeat and recognized it thoroughly.

"How's the Spirit Stone Fan?" Lin Dong asked.

"In just seven or eight days, the price of wine and food in our inn has increased by two percent, while the silver card has risen instead of falling, giving away more than 1,300 cards, 76 gold cards, and two diamond cards." Ma Chun said excitedly: "This is still because our inn does not have enough tables and boxes, if the number of tables and boxes is enough, it can be increased." Looking at the momentum, it will take at least five or six or six or six or six gold cards to send a hundred and eighty silver cards and six or seven gold cards every day. In the future, although it will come down, it will definitely not be like before, and it will take two or three days to send a silver card out. ”

Lin Dong's eyelids twitched, one hundred and eighty silver cards, which is equivalent to the inn's daily turnover of at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. With the number of tables on the second floor, it can support up to 300 large diners a day.

With the consumption of large households, most of the dishes on a table are ordered with one or two spirit beasts and spiritual materials, and the great ones are only two or three taels of silver, and the more ones will not exceed five taels, which is equal to the turnover of almost 1,800 taels of silver in a day.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver a day, and even just the new silver and gold cards, not including the diners who originally had silver cards who came to the inn for a banquet.

There is no doubt that the bulk of these turnover comes from the super big ones on the third floor. Only these super big households, who have more than ten taels of silver for a casual meal, can contribute so much turnover to Lin Ji Inn.

Not to mention anything else, if it is an ordinary large household, the condition for obtaining the silver card is to accumulate at least one hundred taels of silver for wine and food, with the allure of the spirit stone fan, not to mention eating one hundred taels of silver for a meal and then getting a spirit stone fan, even if there is no wine and food, one hundred taels of silver to buy a spirit stone fan, I believe they will not hesitate to pay for the silver.

But a big family, a spirit stone fan is absolutely not enough, not to mention that the dining room lobby needs a ceiling fan, the carriage needs a small spirit stone fan, these years, which big family is not a group of three wives and four concubines, just to deal with these wives and concubines, don't even think about more than ten sets.

One can cost a hundred taels of silver, but it costs a dozen or even dozens of units in one breath, which is a bit more expensive for ordinary large households. Even if there are drinks and food to eat, it is still a bit expensive. Therefore, if ordinary large households want Lingshi fans, the first few may order one hundred and eighty taels of silver for a table of dishes, and the latter ones can only slowly accumulate the price of wine and food.

The super big families are different, for them, the eighteen thousand taels of silver are worse than the one hundred and eighty taels of silver in the eyes of ordinary big families. When they come to the door, I am afraid that they will only dislike the wine and food at the Lin Kee Inn that are too cheap. If you don't get three or five spirit stone fans at one table, you will definitely not give up, otherwise, you won't have accumulated more than seventy gold cards and two diamond cards in just seven or eight days.

The cumulative amount of food and drinks for the Gold Card is as high as 1,000 taels, and the Diamond Card is even more than 10,000 taels.

Two diamond cards are equivalent to two super large households ordering more than 10,000 taels of wine and food in seven or eight days. These two, to say the least, also account for the turnover of Lin Kee Inn for a day.

If there is such a turnover every day, it will be difficult for Lin Kee Inn not to make a fortune.

Of course, after a long time, the demand for the spirit stone fan will slowly be saturated, which one will think of using a silver card to exchange if the spirit stone fan is damaged, and the turnover will drop sharply.

Fortunately, the hard power of Lin Ji Inn is not bad, and the Fenglin Restaurant has collapsed, Lin Dong believes that with the advantages of three or five months brought by the Lingshi Fan, it is enough to firmly grasp most of the super big households and big diners with the wine and food and the atmosphere of the inn.

"Did you find the Aunt Wang you were looking for last time?" Lin Dong couldn't help but think of the vegetable basket aunt who used the Lingshi Fan as a tool for drying bacon, Lin Ji Inn was able to completely defeat the Fenglin Restaurant and establish an unshakable position in Autumn Wind City, hard power is the foundation, the Spirit Stone Fan and the VIP card with storage function are also indispensable, without these two things, relying only on hard power, to say the least, you have to struggle for ten years and eight years to truly be invincible in Autumn Wind City.

The spirit stone fan and the VIP card were all researched by Peng Qiao. For Lin Dong, finding her an assistant or even a research team is as important as finding a top chef and training an escort team.

"Found it, don't talk about it......" Ma Chun sighed: "This Aunt Wang is really capable, the stone grinder who grinds tofu faster than usual, and the spoon that picks the ears is smaller and smaller than cutting nails with scissors...... I can't tell what it is, she has a lot of gadgets in her house, and she figured it out by herself. I have studied the same as Liu Hua, and if I really want to make it in large quantities, I can sell it at a good price. ”

Lin Dongle is happy, what is vision, this is called vision! I really discovered an inventor, although it was just a gadget, but this also proved my guess that this aunt of the vegetable basket did have the ability to put forward suggestions that made Peng Qiao shine when Peng Qiao encountered a bottleneck.

If you can solve the problem of being copied and mass-produced, you can even build a factory for the vegetable basket aunt.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Dong asked, "Can these gadgets be produced in large quantities?" ”

"Absolutely." Ma Chun nodded heavily: "Although Aunt Wang spent a lot of effort to make it, most of these gadgets can be made of iron, we can make molds, as long as the iron ore pipe is enough, it is guaranteed to produce tens of thousands of pieces a day." ”

"How's the cost?" Lin Dong asked: "For example, this gadget that is more convenient than cutting nails with scissors, will the cost be higher than a pair of scissors?" ”

Ma Chun groaned: "Aunt Wang made, except for two small pieces of iron, the other parts are carved out of wood, although the material is not valuable, but the light labor cost is two or three hundred yuan." If you use molds and replace them all with iron, it is estimated that one penny is enough for the materials and wages. ”

Two small pieces of iron? Lin Dong grinned, he had a hunch that this Ma Chun's unfamous gadget was probably nail clippers. The cost of a penny should be a little higher than in the previous world, but in this world, as long as it is cheaper than scissors, it is not lacking in attractiveness.

As for the issue of imitation, this kind of small thing does not have much technology to speak of, and it is impossible to guarantee a monopoly like a VIP card and a spirit stone fan. If you want to be competitive, you can only make small profits and sell more than you can do with quality.

After thinking about it carefully for a moment, Lin Dong decided: "Sort out these things that Aunt Wang has made by herself, and divide them into ones that can be produced in large quantities and at an acceptable price." And then divide these things into a family or everyone needs it, such as this gadget that is more convenient and better for cutting nails than scissors. Then there is not what every household needs, such as the stone mill for grinding tofu, after sorting it out, find a blacksmith to study the cost and whether there is any improvement, and then give me a list. ”

"Hmm!" Ma Chun nodded heavily.

"Come back ......" Lin Dong asked, "How much is Aunt Wang's salary?" ”

"Five taels of silver a month." Ma Chun said.

Lin Dong almost vomited blood: "Five taels of silver to hire an inventor a month, are you ruthless enough?" ”

"Inventor?" The second monk Ma Chunzhang was puzzled.

"One hundred taels of silver a month." Lin Dong said without hesitation: "Plus one percent of the income from the mass production of these gadgets in the future, if you do well in the future, the wages and dry shares can be increased." ”

"So much?" Ma Chun snorted: "Five taels of silver a month is already worth two months' income from her tofu shop." ”

"It's her family's business how much money her tofu shop earns every month, and I only count how much money she can earn me. If you want the horse to run fast, of course, you need to feed the fodder. Lin Dong explained: "We don't just have one Aunt Wang, but more Aunt Wang, just by meeting on the road, we may not meet one in ten or eight years." Only those who are willing to spend money to pay their wages will those who have the ability to find them themselves. ”

Ma Chun still couldn't understand why he had to add so much more silver if he could get it for five taels of silver in a month, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"Again, there is a lot of silver, and it is estimated that Aunt Wang and Aunt Wang's family will have other ideas." Lin Dong instructed: "Write an employment contract, the term is best to be fifty or sixty years, in addition, those who should be suppressed must also be suppressed, don't let them flutter, thinking that only one percent of the dry shares, we take advantage of the sky." ”

Ma Chun nodded heavily, he could understand this, giving more money and benefits, but it was easy to increase people's appetite.

"Okay, invite the third young master over."

Lin Dong waved his hand and strode towards the stone table, as long as the Fenglin Restaurant was solved, Lin Ji Inn would dominate the Autumn Wind City, and it would not be far away.
