Chapter 4: Faithfulness
For ten consecutive weeks, the aura in the dantian had overflowed to sixty percent, but then it was difficult to increase it.
Once the dantian is filled with aura, it means that the breakthrough is imminent, and it will reach sixty percent in ten weeks, not that Lin Dong is talented, but that although the predecessor has fallen from the second weight of the spirit period to the first level of the spirit period, he has not all fallen off, and he still retains sixty percent of the cultivation process.
I haven't cultivated for seven or eight years, and I can still have a sixty percent process, which is also a big surprise, at least I can save most of my cultivation time.
Moreover, with the words of aura, Lin Dong believed that a dozen or twenty big men would definitely not be able to defeat him.
Thirty-six Weeks is a big Week, and the effect is much stronger than intermittent cultivation of Thirty-six Weeks. Lin Dong's talent was mediocre, and it was not completed until the third pole. Out of the room, in the courtyard, the three carriages brought by Bai Jingtai were gone, and they should have gone to deliver goods.
When they came to the lobby, Wang Liumo and the five people were chatting together idlely, and when they saw Lin Dong coming, they couldn't help but scatter, waving a white cloth and desperately wiping the tables and stools.
Lin Dong smiled dumbly, and instructed Wang Liuxi: "Go and write a notice, just say that you will recruit a cook, three taels of silver per month, and you will be covered with food and accommodation." If you have an application, you can try your craft, and if it's okay, you will accept it. ”
Wang Liumo hurriedly nodded.
Three taels of silver a month, in a small place like Sealand City, it is still very rushing, and less than half an hour after the notice was posted, a middle-aged man came to apply.
As soon as Wang Liumole appeared, the middle-aged man left in a huff. Lin Dong smiled indifferently, the shopkeeper of Lin Ji Inn was a well-known bully in the vicinity, this person obviously knew this, and it was estimated that he was aiming for something to be able to eat.
Lin Dong asked Wang Liumo to be responsible for recruiting people, just to eliminate the cook who knew that his predecessor was easy to bully, and if he knew that his predecessor was easy to bully, he naturally knew Wang Liumole who was mixed on the street. In Shibei Street, the deterrent effect of Wang Liu's mole is still very high.
This is not because Lin Dong is afraid that the chef will do anything, but mainly because he doesn't want to make trouble for himself. After one night, he suddenly found that he liked the feeling of the spiritual energy in the dantian slowly growing. With less trouble, you can spend more time cultivating.
Seeing that it was almost lunch time, another fat man with a big belly who was not inferior to Bai Jingtai came to apply. Wang Liumole led him to the kitchen, and soon came over with a plate of braised pork.
Will bring it to taste for himself, Wang Liumo undoubtedly affirmed the chef's craftsmanship, Lin Dong picked up a piece and tasted it, it was moderately salty, the taste was really good, and the chef in the big restaurant may not be comparable, but it was enough to be a chef in a small inn.
checked the surname of the fat man, although he did not have the potential to be promoted to the best cook, but he could also use it like Wang Liumole and them. Even so, when the inn system is upgraded to level 2 and has a lobby comfort bonus, you are also qualified to compete with the chef of Fulai Restaurant.
After the cook's matter was settled, Lin Dong went out to buy a few steamed buns, and after throwing the counter key to Wang Liumo, he went back to the backyard while eating.
In the lobby, Wang Liuxi stared at the key in his hand and was a little stunned, and in just one day, he was promoted to half of the shopkeeper?
Although the inn is small, it is Lin Dong's only property now, and he will hand over everything to Wang Liumole to take care of, naturally not because he doesn't look down on Lin Ji Inn, let alone trust Wang Liumole. The main thing is that the inn system can check the turnover of each day, so there is no need to worry about him eating inside and out.
If Wang Liumole escapes with money, these five people are now all friends of the inn, and they have already registered in the inn system, as long as Lin Dong does not expel them, they can find their whereabouts from the inn system when they go to the ends of the earth.
Besides, Lin Dong didn't come at noon, and he came over at night to pull up the silver, and with the daily turnover of the inn, Wang Liumole couldn't be blushing.
After eating the steamed buns, Lin Dong sat down on the bed and entered the state of concentration again.
On the thirty-sixth week, when I got up again, it was already dark outside the window.
With his stomach growling, Lin Dong pushed open the door and was about to go to the kitchen to get himself something to eat, when he saw that there was still candlelight in the lobby, he couldn't help but be curious.
It's dark at night, the inn closes early, what are these guys hiding in the lobby?
Aren't you betting on dice?
Dare to gamble in the middle of the night after only one day? Lin Dong smiled coldly, before there was money left, these five guys would have to spend a lot of time, and they had to knock and knock.
Striding into the lobby, Lin Dong was stunned, Wang Liumole and five people were there, and they were indeed gathered around a table, but they were not gambling, but laughing with a few diners.
"Third brother, I asked you out, I ate and drank, and I drank and drank for our holiday, and my Wang Liumo also apologized. Since Shibei Street will be under your control in the future, the matter of protection fees ...... You've got to give me a word, right? ”
"Didn't I say it! I said this again and again! Wang Liumole smiled at the object of the greasy mouth, squinted at him and said: "Besides, since you don't mix, and you are willing to be a young man, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to intervene in the things on the street, right?" ”
"The third child, since the shopkeeper handed over the inn to me to take care of, he can trust my Wang Liumole." Wang Liumo's tone was a little ruthless: "The protection fee of the inn, I have nothing to say about one or two taels of silver a month, after all, our shopkeeper does not have a strong backstage." But if you want five taels of silver a month, you don't need our shopkeeper to nod, and I won't be the first to agree. ”
"Yo, when did Wang Liu's mole become a dog's leg?" The man called the third child didn't speak in a good tone: "Don't think I don't know that you have received a tael of silver for three days, what?" I have more than five taels of silver a month? ”
Wang Liumo's eyes froze, and he was a little speechless.
"Eat and drink enough, brothers, it's time to go to the Drunken Red Mansion." The third child slapped his face, and the other three also stood up.
"Wang Liuxi, let me warn you again, a young man, it's not your turn to intervene in the things on the street."
Walking to the door, the third child turned his head to look at Wang Liu's mole suspiciously, and before his right leg stepped out of the threshold, a cold and faint voice suddenly sounded.
"Did you pay for the meal?"
"Food?" The third child was stunned for a moment, and then sneered and looked at the source of the sound, Lin Dong smiled politely: "It is natural to give money for dinner, if it is inconvenient, it is okay to keep accounts." ”
"Boy, it's crazy enough, I You Laosan eats in his own territory, when did he pay for the meal? Just rush to you, the protection fee is ten taels per month. ”
The third snorted coldly, turned around and left. When leaving, I didn't forget to kick the door panel, and the next few people did the same, and I don't know who kicked it more, and the already dilapidated door panel sounded five times before stopping, and the dust snorted off the ground.
Lin Dong stepped forward, but was stopped by Wang Liumole and five people.
"The shopkeeper, he is the third of the neighboring street, I heard that we don't mix, so I will give this street to the next. Forget about the food money, right? If you provoke him, you have nothing to do outside the inn, and the inn will not want to do business. Wang Liumole persuaded.
Lin Dong didn't bother to chase it, let's keep accounts! Anyway, I will come back on the first day of junior high school.
It was Wang Liu's mole, which made Lin Dong look different. handed over the counter key to Wang Liumo, he just wanted to be convenient for a while, he never thought that this kid was still a little righteous, and he was actually willing to stand up for the inn.
Being stared at by Lin Dong and feeling a little hairy, Wang Liumole swallowed his saliva, and his left index finger, which was wrapped in bandages, felt a faint pain.
"Shopkeeper, this ...... I also want to lower the protection fee, and they ......"
"It's fine!" Lin Dong patted Wang Liumo's shoulder and said word by word: "I apologize for the finger matter." ”
Wang Liumo was startled, and hurriedly shook his head: "I asked for it, no wonder the shopkeeper." ”
"Let's all go to sleep! I have to wake up early tomorrow. ”
Lin Dong said hello and went back to the backyard alone, as for cleaning up the silver on the counter every night, he was no longer interested.
When Lin Dong walked away, Wang Liuxi gritted his teeth and looked at the thin bamboo pole: "We seem to have two taels of silver on hand, you can use these two taels of silver to book a table at Fulai Restaurant when you buy vegetables tomorrow, and then make an appointment with the third child in the evening." ”
"Hey!" The thin bamboo pole was a little distressed, but thinking about Lin Dong's apology just now, he also gritted his teeth and responded.
A key was inexplicably exchanged for Wang Liumo's loyalty, and to be honest, Lin Dong had a headache. He has always respected me and I respect people, originally, Wang Liu's mole and five people were just excessively when they had no money to recruit men.
According to Lin Dong's idea, when the inn has money to spare, the guy still has to change it. Although there is an inn system, the guys can also be upgraded, and after the upgrade, the eloquence, agility and other castes have bonuses, but the initial values of these five people are not satisfactory, and they do not have the qualifications to cultivate into the best guys.
Wang Liumo didn't have a scene tonight, and he changed his partner, and he would find a way to solve the problem of owing the inn money. If you don't accept it, you will always obey it if you break two arms.
But now, Lin Dong had to think about the way out of Wang Liu's mole and the five people.
When he came to the kitchen, Lin Dong had a faint decision in his heart.
These five people, maybe it is more suitable to collect protection money on the street to pay off debts, it is when there is a shortage of silver to buy spirit stones, and there are just a lot of income to fill the hole.
After scrambling a plate of eggs and fried rice, after eating his fill, Lin Dong returned to his room to practice.
As the moon faded, the first rays of the morning sun entered the room through the white paper pasted on the wooden window, and there was a sharp knock on the door.
It was only twenty-five weeks before he was interrupted, Lin Dong was unhappy in his heart, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was triangular eyes.
"Shopkeeper, Miss Young Master is back. And ......"
If you don't run for a big week, the cultivation process will be greatly reduced, Lin Dong's anger has not disappeared, and when he saw the triangular eyes, he suddenly said angrily: "What do you say!" ”
"Moreover, the dean of Qiushui Academy also came, looking at his face...... It doesn't seem to be good. Triangle Eyes said cautiously.
"Oh!" Lin Dong nodded, his face was normal.
Lin Tianhao's two siblings only went home for two days on vacation on the fifteenth day of each month, and they came back a few days after leaving, plus the dean personally brought them over......
Lin Dong smiled, these two little guys, they estimated what trouble they had caused again, and they joined forces to provoke it.
When they came to the lobby, the two brothers and sisters lowered their heads when they saw Lin Dong appear. Beside him, Fu Chunjian, who was sitting on the bench, put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.
"Shopkeeper Lin, the good sons and daughters you taught have caused a big disaster." Fu Chunjian said angrily: "They broke Zhang Yuanwai's son's leg. ”
"Hmmm! What's with? Lin Dong looked down at Lin Tianhao, who was looking down at his toes.
Yes?
Fu Chunjian thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and Lin Tianhao and Lin Shuang also thought that there was something wrong with their ears.
Girls are mostly favored in front of their fathers, and the Lin family is the same. Lin Shuang was bold and whispered: "Dad, you, are you asking why you broke Zhang Heng's leg?" ”
"Hmm!" Lin Dong nodded, he knew why the three of them looked like this, when any of them heard that their children were in trouble, the first thing they did was to come to the door to apologize, and only after the matter was over, did they ask the reason.
I asked the reason at the beginning, and it was indeed a bit out of line.
Lin Shuang pouted and explained: "It's not that Zhang Heng, who bought my bamboo dragonfly not only didn't give money, but also scolded my father for being a waste." I couldn't get angry and went to my brother, and my brother took me to reason with him, but instead he found a group of classmates to beat my brother, and my brother didn't fight back at first, but they came to beat me again, and my brother did it. ”
"Anyway, it's not right to hit someone, and it breaks someone's leg." Before Lin Dong could express his opinion, Fu Chunjian angrily taught a lesson: "Zhang Yuanwai rushed to the academy with more than a dozen family members to ask for someone for this matter, which not only affected the learning of his classmates, but also had a serious impact on the reputation of the college. ”
As soon as the gun turned, he taught Lin Donglai a lesson: "If I hadn't protected them, these two little guys would have been arrested by the family long ago." Shopkeeper Lin, the last time Tianhao beat Inspector Zhong, I warned you again and again, take good care of Tianhao, and now it's okay, it's only been less than two months, and I actually broke my classmate's leg again. How did you become a father? ”
"Well, I'd like to think about what to do about this!" Lin Dong touched his neck, the strangulation marks had faded, but he always felt that it was itchy from time to time.
"What else is there to think about?" Fu Chunjian said angrily: "If it weren't for my relationship with Tianhao, I wouldn't be too lazy to talk about you." If you hit someone, of course, you have to apologize. Zhang Yuanwai is there, I will talk to him first, and in terms of compensation, I will find a way to get the money. You buy some supplements first, and after you talk about it, I'll take you over to apologize. ”
"It's a big injury, Dean Fu, you don't care about this." Lin Dong said leisurely.
Shattered eyeballs in one place......
The two little guys looked at each other, and their father changed his surname?
Fu Chunjian's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but raise her sleeve to wipe it, only then did she understand that today, the honest shopkeeper Lin was frightened crazy by his son who broke his classmate's leg.
"Dean Fu, go back first! Tianhao and Lin Shuang will stay at home for a few days first, and then go back when it is resolved. Zhang Yuanwai was not satisfied, so he asked him to come to the inn to find me. ”
For Dean Fu, who is over fifty years old and has a fairy temperament, Lin Dong is still extremely polite. After all, Lin Tianhao has caused more than 20 disasters over the years, and the predecessor apologized, at most, it could be solved by kneeling, and it was completely dependent on the dean.
Especially two months ago, Inspector Zhong was an official sent by the government to inspect, and Dean Fu was afraid that he would be overwhelmed with this matter.
No matter what Fu Chunjian said, or even slapping the table and roaring without an image, Lin Dong just refused to compromise.
At this point, Fu Chun really understood that Shopkeeper Lin was indeed scared crazy.
When people go crazy, their style of behavior will be very different from the past.
I had no choice but to figure out how to do it myself.
Fu Chunjian taught the two brothers and sisters a hard lesson, and then they left the inn angrily.
