Coming to the front yard, Lin Dong rushed all the way to the location of the cellar in the corner.

The wooden plank above the cellar was opened, and a faint damp breath slowly came up, making Lin Dong couldn't help but close his breath.

The cellar had to be opened several times a day, so the damp smell was not too strong, and it quickly faded in the air.

Stepping on the wooden ladder all the way down, although it was calm and windless, the temperature was slowly dropping.

Compared to the starry night outside, it was pitch black inside, and the spiritual power was infused into the eyes, and the vision became clear.

The whole cellar is about 50 square meters, and most of the storage in it is some perishable raw meat and vegetables, and then there is a jar of red wine and thyme.

Calling up the inn system, setting up the cellar in my heart, the floor plan of the Lin Ji Inn immediately appeared in my mind. A small red block flashes in its place.

Stretch!

Lin Dong's mind moved, however, the small red block on the floor plan was wavy and traceless, and there was no movement at all.

Lin Dong's brows furrowed slightly.

Judging from the scale of the floor plan, the area of this red block is only five or six square meters at most.

It's only five or six square meters, what kind of cellar is it?

I tried the silent stretching again, and the little red block was still the same.

Lin Dong scratched his head, glanced around, and after determining the location of the cellar, he set up the system cellar in an open space.

Ding: Congratulations, the cellar has been set up successfully.

A square pattern connected by thin red threads appears in the clearing. Compare carefully, no more, no less, five square meters.

Lin Dong stepped forward, squatted down next to the square pattern, and took a closer look, only to find that inside the pattern, the entire pattern was divided into five rectangular patterns with several small blue lines, and the area was exactly the same.

Lin Dongtou is big, doesn't this mean that the systematic cellar is divided into five parts, and each part can only occupy an area of one square meter at most?

The larger the footprint, the more things that can be stored, the more things that can be used at the same time, and the less cost is required. Conversely, the smaller the footprint, the greater the cost.

Putting one jar of wine and consuming a spirit stone can increase the storage time for one year, and putting ten jars of wine to consume a spirit stone can increase the storage time for one year, and the gap between this is not small.

The opening is not going well!

Lin Dong touched his nose and looked up at the top of his gray head, if there is no height limit, it is easy to do, but it is a big deal to dig the cellar deeper. But this may be the surname, I'm afraid it can't be high, since the system limits the area, naturally it will not let the height have no limit.

According to Lin Dong's guess, the height should also be one meter.

Of course, you have to try it anyway.

Take out the five jars of top-grade wine that you got from Old Man Ding and put it in one of the areas, and you can only put three jars at most. After calculating the height of the altar and feeling that it should be less than fifty centimeters, Lin Dong piled up the other two altars.

After getting these five jars of top-notch wine, Lin Dong immediately called out the surname of the cellar and set the area to increase the time by twenty years.

For these five jars of wine, it costs twenty spirit stones a day alone, which is equivalent to twenty taels of silver at the market price. These five jars of wine are about 150 catties, all of which are purchased from the capital for thousands of miles, and the total cost is no less than 3,000 taels of silver.

The consumption of twenty taels of silver, if it is only used to control the top wine, is almost negligible in terms of cost.

Lin Dong was a little disappointed because of the small area of the cellar, and suddenly improved a lot. After carefully calculating the cost of thyme and red wine, it was even more reassuring.

Not to mention red wine, just the lowest cost, only sells for ten cents a pound of thyme. If the height of the cellar is indeed only one meter, it is equivalent to a cubic capacity, and if a thin mold is made according to the area of the cellar, at least 1,000 catties of thyme can be loaded.

The time bonus for opening a year is equivalent to only one tael of silver, plus the cost of wine is ten taels of silver, and the total is only eleven taels of silver.

The price of one-year thyme is fifty percent higher than that of ordinary thyme.

This lowest-grade thyme alone is already a sure win. The increased cost of the three-year period was only three taels of silver, but the price was five times higher. Five-year, ten-year, thirty-year ...... The higher you go, the more the cost increases, but the value increases faster.

After thinking clearly, Lin Dong's gaze swept over the other four areas, and he immediately took action. Each of the four zones has a jar of red wine, and then the additional time is set to one year, two years, three years and four years. In addition, in the second and third areas, Lin Dong also used to test the upper limit of height, first placed a few jars of thyme, almost a meter position, and then piled up a few jars. This went up like this until he was more than three meters in the pile, and was about to touch the top, that Lin Dong stopped.

In the fourth and fifth areas, Lin Dong is used to test the surname of temperature control. With the quality of the wine jar, it naturally could not withstand extreme cold and heat, so he simply set it to zero and fifty degrees, respectively.

After all this, Lin Dong stretched his waist, came to the bottom of the wooden ladder, looked up at the entrance of the passage, and the head of the old man Ding startled him.

"Old man, why did you come here? People are scary, they will be scared to death. With Lin Dong's concentration, his heartbeat was a little faster, and it quickly returned to its original state.

"It's good to be scared to death!" Old man Ding said angrily: "I still want to ask you!" It's okay to steal my five jars of good wine, why do you run away? I thought you were in need of good wine in a hurry, and I was going to see with my heart which bastard dared to drink my good wine. I didn't expect you to bring this wine to the cellar. ”

"Are there any people who steal in person?" Lin Dong held the stairs all the way up, came out of the cellar, and after covering the wooden board, he said in a good time: "I'm helping you store wine." ”

"Storage?" Old man Ding suddenly became nervous: "Don't tell me, you kid, you are nervous about money, and you can't afford to buy good wine." ”

"It's not that there is not enough wine, but that you will save it for three or five years to make it more mellow." Lin Dong said lightly.

"Three or five years ......" Old Man Ding cried and laughed: "When did you become so impatient?" If you are not mistaken, there will be new wine sent from the capital in a few days, and when the time comes, you can just save another batch, and run away without making a sound and carrying my five jars of good wine? ”

"You'll know tomorrow, and when the time comes, I'll surprise you." Lin Dong didn't bother to explain, and the spiritual power poured into the meridians, turning into a black shadow into the backyard.

"Tomorrow, surprise?"

Old man Ding grinned, and wanted to ask a question, but Lin Dong had already disappeared without a trace, so he had to give up with a lot of confusion.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Dong went all the way to the lobby, but instead of spending a day at the counter like yesterday, he strode out of the lobby after explaining a few words about the cellar to Ma Chun, and waiting for the inn to open for half an hour, and after making sure that the number of diners was not significantly lower than yesterday.

After walking for only two or three minutes, at the end of the street, Lin Dong stopped.

Directly across from the shop, it was empty, and there was nothing but a counter and a fellow.

Above the door of the store, a sign with gold letters on a blue background is particularly eye-catching.

Lam Kee Gymnasium!

Striding into the store, the guy at the counter looked up and stood up suddenly.

"Shopkeeper! How did you get here? ”

Lin Dong glanced around at the empty shop and asked, "Chang Fei, how is the business of the gymnasium?" ”

"Yesterday was okay, today, it seems to be a lot worse." Chang Fei, a guy transferred from Autumn Wind City, recalled and explained: "For the four major events, eight thousand tickets were sold in one day yesterday, almost eight hundred and thirty taels of silver. Among them, the fighting competition sold the most tickets, almost all of them were sold out, with 3,000 tickets. The running race sold the least number of tickets, at about 1,200. ”

"How's it going today?" Lin Dong asked.

Chang Fei explained: "Today's first game is an archery competition, yesterday sold 1,800 tickets, and now it has begun, but only a little more than 1,200 tickets have been sold. ”

Lin Dong frowned slightly, it was only the second day, and it dropped sharply? If that's the case, it's a big problem.

After thinking about it, Lin Dong asked, "Archery competition, what was the first one yesterday?" ”

"The second one!" Chang Fei said without thinking.

Lin Dong silently said that the order of the four major events will change every day, but the time of the four games will not change, and the first game will start at eight o'clock and end at ten o'clock. After another hour of tidying up the field, the second game will be held at eleven o'clock, which will also last two hours. The third session starts at 2 p.m. and ends at 4 p.m. The fourth time starts at 5 p.m. and ends at 7 p.m.

In Lin Dong's expectations, the second and fourth should be the two with the fewest players. The reason is that both of these games are at the meal level, and if you want to watch the game, you have to go hungry.

Yesterday was the second archery competition, which means that it was one of the least crowded ones, but today it was placed in the first game, which means that the number of people today is more than 600 less than yesterday's, and I am afraid it will have to reach the level of 700.

At this rate, there will only be 600 people watching the archery competition tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow...... It's time to close down.

The attractiveness of the four major events is lower than expected. Lin Dong originally thought that with the freshness, how could he last for a few months, and when the time came, the remaining players in the four major events would be regarded as all kinds of leaders, and the attraction would definitely increase a lot, how could he still sell seven or eight hundred tickets per day for each event. After this downturn, by the time of next year, the strength of the participants will definitely improve a lot, and the number of tickets sold every day will slowly increase.

Seven or eight hundred tickets are sold for each event every day, and based on the average price of tickets at the Lin Kee Stadium of 100 yuan, the four major events are equivalent to an income of 300 taels of silver per day. In a year, there should be an income of more than 100,000 taels.

Subtracting the prize money of nearly 100,000 taels of silver for the four major events, as well as manpower, depreciation and other expenses, in a year, you can earn almost 35,000 taels of silver.

Not to mention Lin Ji Winery and Autumn Wind City Lin Ji Inn, even if it is ten county-level branches, the annual net income is about 30,000 taels. Earning three to five thousand taels of silver a year, compared with these businesses, it is not worth investing too much energy.

But as long as there is money to be made, Lin Dong is willing to invest ten times more energy than the Lin Kee Winery and Inn branch to take care of this Lin Kee Gymnasium. For the sake of the potential interests behind the Lam Kee Gymnasium.

Not to mention the end of the game at noon and in the afternoon, the audience is hungry, and the first place to eat is likely to be the Lam Kee Inn on the same street. Let's talk about the fourth game, after it is over, that is, around 7 o'clock in the evening. At this time, even in summer, it is almost dark. As soon as you come out, those who are close to home must hurry home, and those who are far away from home, except for the starry night, can only find an inn nearby to stay.

According to Lin Dong's estimate, when Lin Kee Stadium was still in a downturn, ninety percent of the audience should be nearby residents, which means that only one percent of the audience came all the way to watch the game. And among this sincerity, more than eighty percent of them should be big families with carriages. Among these eight sincere people, there are only about 20% of the people who will find inns to stay nearby. The remaining Liang Chengren, who did not have a carriage, although there was an obstacle of being reluctant to spend money, the accommodation at Lin Kee Inn was not too expensive, and more than half of the people would definitely choose to stay.

Lin Lin finally summed up, Lin Dong's expectation was that about three percent of the people in the audience who came to stay at the inn would choose to stay at the nearest Lin Kee Inn.

Seven or eight hundred spectators is equivalent to bringing more than 20 occupants to the inn every day. Even if many of them are a family, there are only two in one room, which is a great way to squeeze three people. Ten more rooms were added to the Lam Kee Inn, and there was almost no problem.

Being able to open ten more rooms for the main store, in Lin Dong's eyes, not to mention that he can earn three or five thousand taels of silver a year, even if he loses thirty or fifty thousand taels of silver, he is happy. After all, guests mean inn experience.

But now, only the first session of the second day has only more than 1,200 spectators left, and it is not the running race with the fewest spectators and the fewest spectators, and it is no less than wishful thinking to think that there will be an average of seven or eight hundred spectators per day in the future.

"Shopkeeper ......" Seeing Lin Dong's eyebrows stunned, Chang Fei couldn't help but shout softly.

Lin Dong came to his senses, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a ticket, I'll go and see it first." ”

"Hmm!" Chang Fei immediately opened the drawer, took out a stack of small tickets, tore one out of it and handed it to Lin Dong: "Shopkeeper, all the positions in the first row have been sold out, only the second row." ”

"It doesn't matter!" Lin Dong looked down, and the seat number on the ticket was six chairs in the third row of the east.

After noting down the location, Lin Dong walked towards the back door of the store.

Lam Kee Gymnasium covers an area of about 10,000 square meters, compared with the real gymnasium, the area of Lam Kee Gymnasium is pitifully small, but compared to the store, it is a behemoth. With such a large area, it is natural that you cannot buy all the shops on the street. The location is the rear house where I chose the store.

After walking into the passage of the back door and handing over the small ticket in his hand to the guy in charge of checking the ticket, Lin Dong strode in, and the first thing he saw was a circular venue.

In the center of the arena, about one meter below the level, is a square platform 30 meters long and 30 meters wide, and around the platform, there are rows of seats that gradually rise upward, a total of 10 rows, each row has about 300 seats. These seats, separated by four aisles, are divided into four sides: south, south, west, and north.

The canopy, empty. When I looked up, I could clearly see the sun hanging high in the sky, but the sunlight that came down was a little lighter.

The reason is that this canopy is not open-air, but has a thin layer of white spirit tree sap.

The White Spirit Tree is a third-order spirit material, and it is a strange spirit tree that Lin Dong obtained in Autumn Wind City. The sap of this white spirit tree, after being exposed to air, can instantly condense into a thin film. The film seal is extremely strong and tenacious, and the vitality ball is made by dipping the vitality beef balls into the sap of the white spirit tree and then picking them up.

When studying the structure of the Lin Ji Gymnasium, Lin Dong immediately thought of the Bai Ling Tree, and the reason was also related to the sealing surname and tenacity of the Bai Ling Tree sap.

The film formed by the sap of this white spirit tree, if it is close, it is absolutely impossible to see the situation in the near distance. Only when I am more than ten meters away can I barely see some shadows of the other scene. In addition, it is very tough, and it can be used as a layer of translucent glass that can not only block the sun, but also protect from the rain.

The roof of the Lam Kee Gymnasium is made of a film formed by hundreds of sheets of white spirit tree sap. Although this roof has a lot of connections, but at a distance of up to fourteen or fifteen meters, people who do not have the strength of the mental stage, and who infuse their spiritual power into their eyes to look closely, will definitely not be able to find these connections.

Ordinary people look up, and the first impression is that there is absolutely no roof. Only those who are observant, or on rainy days, can find the strange.

A magical roof, Lin Dong also regarded this as one of the gimmicks of Lin Kee Gymnasium.

It's a pity that whether Lam Kee Stadium can prosper depends only on the transparent roof, the unique business method, and the overwhelming publicity offensive...... Obviously still not enough.

Lin Dong understands that the biggest reason why Lin Kee Stadium is like this is that the strength of the participants is insufficient, which leads to a lack of attraction.

However, the strength of the participants is not something that can be improved in a short period of time. cycle, at least one year. Only after the prize money is actually paid can more people be motivated to exercise and participate.

If you want to solve this problem, you can either change the rules and allow martial artists to participate. Or, change the course of the tournament to a weekly or monthly schedule and reduce the amount of prizes.

These two methods, in Lin Dong's view, belong to drinking water to quench thirst. Martial artists are allowed to participate, and in the short term, with some martial artists who come over to join in the fun, high-quality competitions can indeed become popular. But the consequence is that ordinary participants will gradually withdraw, and within a few months, it is guaranteed that there are only a handful of participants, and only a few martial artists remain. However, there are only a handful of martial artists who are willing to participate, otherwise, it would be a different situation to hold another martial arts competition.

If the cycle of the competition is shortened and a large amount of silver is distributed, it can indeed stimulate the active surnames of the participants to exercise, although it is not as popular as the martial arts, but the attraction should also be greatly improved. Again, there are so many consequences that people can't afford to lose.

The biggest point is that the short cycle means that in the short term, there is no big one. The winner and loser will be determined in a month, which is far less worthy of expectation than the winner and loser in a year. If it weren't for the conditions not running, Lin Dong would even want to make the World Cup a four-year showdown.

In doing so, within a year, the custodial audience will lose interest in the four major events.

With a head as big as an ox, Lin Dong let out a sigh, found his place, and sat down. Just as he was about to look up at the competition venue, directly below, a red and blue satin robe made his eyes can't help but move his gaze.

(To be continued)
