Bai Jingtai and his daughter had one table, and the six guards opened two tables, and when Liu Hao led the convoy into the backyard from the side, and then came back, two more guards were added.

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

"It doesn't matter, if there is any good dish, you will have one at every table." Bai Jingtai patted the bench on the left side, and said with a smile: "It's not an outsider, don't be busy with shopkeeper Lin, sit together." ”

"That's not good, the chef was fired by me, and I can't find a new chef for a while, so I have to cook it myself."

Bai Jingtai was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy: "I haven't seen you for a year, and Shopkeeper Lin also has the courage to fire the cook?" ”

"There's no way, this cook is getting more and more excessive, he dares to go home in front of him, and if he doesn't fire him, my inn will have to close." Lin Dong replied helplessly.

"I've advised you to fire them a long time ago, and ......" Bai Jingtai glanced at Wang Liu's mole and the five people, and became more and more happy: "The guy has also changed?" ”

"There are few dishes every three forks, and you can't change them!"

"It's changed, and in the future, Lin Ji Inn will still have a lot to offer."

Bai Jingtai nodded thoughtfully, in his opinion, this shopkeeper Lin has finally opened his mind.

Lin Dong also sighed with emotion, Bai Jingtai's words hit his heart, without the cooks and guys who want to eat and take cards, although this Lin Ji Inn can't make money, it can also have no worries about food and clothing, otherwise, before the inn system appears, he will not find a way to continue to operate.

To be honest, for his predecessor, although Lin Dong looks down on his weak surname, he still has respect for his character.

Speaking of good people, Lin Dong's predecessor is an out-and-out good person, opening an inn, buying vegetables is generally picky, because it is cheap, but Lin Dong's predecessor is always a good one, and whether it is accommodation or meals, the price is lower than others.

What's more, the beggars of Sealand City, who doesn't know that there is a Lin Kee Inn on Shibei Street? In the first two years, there were more beggars than guests at Lin Kee Inn, and in the next few years, only the cold winter and the moon really couldn't survive, and the beggars would come to the door, why? Because as long as you come to the door, not only can you be full, but you can also send some copper plates. Beggars know how to be grateful, after all, people open inns, and they will eat people at two ends in three days, not to mention that it will affect other guests to eat and stay in the hotel.

In this way, after five years of loss, Lin Kee Inn also began to make a profit this year. Lin Dong believes that without the protection fee and the black hands of the cook and the guys, it is really difficult for the Lin Kee Inn not to make money.

There is no way, Lin Ji Inn has worked hard for five years, and the foundation is too good, and Lin Dong is not worried about the occupancy rate at all.

Take Bai Jingtai as an example, after a small place like Sealan City monopolizes the spirit stone business here, there is no need to come over in person once a year and let his subordinates deliver the goods. The reason why I came here and lived in a small place like Lin Ji Inn was because five years ago, when Bai Jingtai came to open the market of Sealand City with three carloads of spirit stones, he was robbed by bandits outside the city.

Hungry and cold forced to live in Sealand City, really hungry and helpless, when passing by Lin Ji Inn, he entered the door to beg for saliva and drink, Lin Dong's predecessor not only took care of food and housing, but also gave two taels of silver for the journey.

Bai Jingtai comes to Sealand City once a year with the goods, purely to visit friends. There may be only one big businessman like him who has received the favor of Lin Kee Inn, but ordinary businessmen abound.

When they came to Zealand City, as soon as it got dark, the first thing these merchants thought of was Lin Ji Inn, and they only found another place when it was full.

Burst......

Bai Qi picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and immediately squirted it out.

"What kind of tea is this?"

"Good tea!" Lin Dong didn't want to care, but this tea was picked by his predecessor in the mountains in order to save money. Tea may not be considered a good tea, but the painstaking care of careful selection should not be tarnished.

Bai Qi frowned, and was about to speak, but was glared back by Bai Jingtai, and his heart became more and more unhappy.

Although the Bai family is not a family, it is also developing in this direction, a small innkeeper just gave his father two taels of silver, and he really regards himself as a sincere and benevolent thing?

Bai Qi's expression was in full view, but Bai Jingtai's face couldn't help but give, Lin Dong slapped his face and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go prepare wine and food." ”

"You're busy, you're busy......" Bai Jingtai got up to send him off.

There were Wang Liumo and others watching in the lobby, and Lin Dongliang didn't dare to make trouble, so he asked Liu Hao to follow him, entered the kitchen in the backyard, and got busy.

The three tables of dishes were finally finished, Lin Dong washed his hands, and was about to go to the lobby to greet Bai Jingtai, when Wang Liuxi trotted in all the way.

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

"Okay, I'll be there soon!"

Lin Dong had to dispel his thoughts and continue to work. It seems that inviting a cook is a top priority now, and he originally planned to do it himself in order to save money, but this intensity is really unnecessary.

It was the moment of staying and eating, and after five tables in a row, Lin Dong stopped. When I returned to the lobby, I saw that the ten tables had filled eight tables.

"Shopkeeper Lin, I heard that you are also a cook?"

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

Lin Dong greeted Bai Jingtai's table all the way, and saw that there was an extra plate of braised sea bass and steamed hairy crab on the table, and he knew that Miss Bai definitely didn't think about it, so she asked the guy to go to Fulai Restaurant to order.

Bai Jingtai's old face turned red and laughed dryly. Ordering dishes from other restaurants at other people's inns is a bit excessive.

Bai Qi put down the chopsticks coldly and stood up: "Don't eat it, it's the signature dish of the biggest restaurant, and it's not as good as the chef at home." ”

It's not a loss to be a young lady from a big family, this is said at a high level, Lin Dong couldn't help laughing.

Bai Jingtai was originally an open-minded person, and seeing that Lin Dong didn't care at all, he didn't bother to teach his daughter a lesson, so he took out an ingot of five taels of silver and handed it to Lin Dong.

"Shopkeeper Lin, can you open five guest rooms? It's really not good, and there are three that can be done. ”

"The guest rooms are empty, the deposit is free, Boss Bai comes over every year, when has the deposit been collected?"

Bai Jingtai shook his head with a smile: "This time I don't just have to live for three or five days, but I have to live for two months." ”

Staying for two months? What a good thing! Lin Dong was also polite, took the silver and stuffed it into his clothes, ten people, without a deposit, they couldn't afford to raise it at all.

"I'll take you upstairs!" Lin Dong led the way, and asked as he walked: "Boss Bai has lived for so long this time, does he have any business to do?" ”

"What's the business!" Bai Jingtai shook his head and said helplessly: "Gu Huan Sect recruits disciples on May 20, no, bring the little girl over to try your luck." ”

Lin Dong couldn't help but wonder: "I heard that the origin of spirit stones is controlled by the sect, since Boss Bai is in the spirit stone business, and he is doing such a big thing, he should be familiar with many sects, right?" ”

Bai Jingtai smiled bitterly: "I know the outer gate managers of several sects, but these sects are all large sects, and the requirements for accepting apprentices are extremely strict, and even acquaintances are not good." There is no way, as long as Gu Huan Sect reaches the seventh level of the spirit period before the age of seventeen, he can be accepted as a disciple, and there are still two months to go, this girl has stopped at the sixth level of the spirit period for a year and a half, and I don't know if she can catch up. ”

Lin Dong was silent, although the Guhuan Sect is not big, it is a sect after all, and it exists outside the country. For a big businessman like Bai Jingtai, if he wants to last for a long time, he should establish the prototype of a family next. As long as the offspring are not too defeated, after two or three or four generations, a small family can be formed.

has a daughter who is a disciple in the Guhuan Sect, if she can mix with the high-level, it is no less than buying a talisman for this embryonic family.

"Alas......" Bai Jingtai sighed heavily: "If you can buy the Tongjing Pill that the Liu family treasures, it is estimated that there is still hope to catch up, if you can't buy it, this matter is estimated to be a little hanging." ”

"Why are you telling him all this stuff? He didn't understand. Bai Qi couldn't help but snort.

Lin Dong touched his nose, the shopkeeper of a small inn, is he so unwelcome?

It's a pity, Bai Jingtai has other ways to refresh Bai Qi's strength, otherwise, when the inn is upgraded to level 2, it should be able to help Bai Qi reach the standard of accepting apprentices from the Gu Huan Sect.

To be honest, Lin Dong had some hope in his heart that Bai Jingtai would not be able to get any Tongjing Dan, not that he had any schadenfrefreate thoughts about Bai Qi, making Bai Jingtai owe himself a favor was one of the reasons, and the main reason was to help the guests of the inn, which could trigger the hidden task.

The rewards for hidden quests are incredibly generous.

went upstairs, and the arrangement of the room inevitably attracted Bai Qi's muttering, so Lin Dong took the wind in his ears and returned to the lobby with five taels of silver.

In the lobby, two more tables were finished, and Wang Liuxi was taking the guests upstairs.

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

Lin Dong silently thought about the inn in his heart, and his surname flashed.

Lam Kee Inn: Level 1 2%

Turnover: 862 Wen

Spirit Stone: 0/100

Defense: 0/100

Rooms: 20

Dinner table: 10

Dude: 5

Cooks: 0

Lin Dongyi summed up, at this rate, if the lobby and guest rooms can be full, it should be able to upgrade in twenty days.

The inn is upgraded, and spirit stones are required to open the cultivation bonus, which is a large part of the money.

At the counter, Lin Dong had a big head. Even if he didn't check the surname of the turnover, he knew that out of the 862 yuan, the profit was only about 200 yuan, which did not include the wages of Wang Liuxi and the five of them, and if they were included, they would have to lose some.

Even if it is full, Wang Liumo and others don't have to be paid, and they can earn a maximum of 500 yuan a day, and only 10 taels of silver on 20 days. It's a lot, but when you buy spirit stones, it's only a dozen or so yuan.

The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and there is no way, so you can only take one step at a time.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Lin Dong instructed Wang Liuxi to arrange for Bai Jingtai to prepare supper for the guards who were keeping vigil in the backyard at night, and after paying more attention to whether the guests had encountered any difficulties that could not be done, he waved his hand and closed the door.

Lin Tianhao's two siblings are in the academy, and they only come back once a month on the fifteenth day of the month, seeing that there is nothing to do, after a hasty dinner, 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 a wooden bed and a desk, and nothing else.

Throwing off his shoes and getting to bed, Lin Dong sat cross-legged.

As early as when he was a teenager, Lin Dong's predecessor had studied cultivation with the sixth young master of the Yang family, but seeing that the progress was slow, not to mention that the sect did not accept it, and he was not even qualified to be a guard, he stopped.

Cultivation is a way, if you don't advance, you will retreat, Lin Dong's predecessor reached the double level of the agility period at the highest time, and now he ...... Back to the first weight.

Fortunately, I still remember the line of luck, Lin Dong's eyes were slightly closed, and he collected his mind, and slowly, the dantian appeared in the inner vision.

It took half an hour, and the empty dantian finally condensed a trace of aura, and then, under the control of Lin Dong's thoughts, slowly entered the meridians and walked around.

As the aura in the dantian runs in the meridians, in the air, the aura that is absent is pulled and enters the meridians through the skin.

A week later, when the aura returned to the dantian, the aura, which was only a trace of thickness, had already increased by a few points.
