When Old Man Ding left, Lin Dong immediately began to check other aspects of the test.

As a result, as Lin Dong expected, each area of the cellar is about a cubic meter of space, and in terms of red wine, although there is no detailed classification of the age, it can already be concluded that, like thyme, it is a wine that is better and better.

The approximate surname of the cellar has been tested, and the rest is the details. For example, what are the different effects of red wine storage for different years, how many temperatures are the highest and lowest limits of temperature control, and when the 20-year control is turned on, it has a ten-year effect after half a day, or it can only be effective if it is stored for a whole day...... It took three days for Lin Dong to completely understand the various details of the cellar.

In three days, Lin Ji Inn and Fenglin Restaurant have officially joined forces, and the two sides have launched a special discount suppression for Hongfu Restaurant almost on the same day, and Tianlai Casino has also begun to implement the suppression and consumption of Hongfu Casino.

In the past three days, the restaurant industry and gambling industry in Lingnan City have been sudden. Hongfu Restaurant continued to attract other restaurants to join the war group in an attempt to create chaos, Hongfu Casino also began to fight back against the suppression and consumption of Tianlai Casino, and Fenglin Restaurant and Tianlai Casino are also constantly attracting major restaurants and gambling houses to suppress.

All signs make people have to suspect that the restaurant industry and gambling industry in Lingnan City will undergo earth-shaking changes.

It is not yet known who killed the deer, although the development of things is very different from Lin Dong's idea at that time, and Lin Ji Inn had to intervene in the dispute between the two major restaurants, but as long as he can successfully get the fragrance, for Lin Dong, Lin Kee Inn is worth the loss of business at this stage.

Early in the morning, Lin Dong finally met Chen Yantian, the owner of Tianlai Casino, in the backyard of Chen's Mansion in the city.

Originally, three days ago, Lin Dong asked Liang Gufeng to help introduce Chen Yantian. But maybe Chen Yantian cooperated with Hong Wanfu in order to make Lin Ji Inn dare not tear up the contract, or he looked down on Lin Ji Inn a little, or both, Chen Yantian always refused on the grounds that he was busy. It wasn't until the night before that someone was sent to deliver the message, and the next morning there was a little time, but only about half an hour.

Chen Yantian, who faintly replaced Hong Wanfu as the first person in the business community of Lingnan City, was much younger than Lin Dong expected, and he was also much more elegant, not like the owner of a gambling house at all.

In his early thirties, he had a fair and soft face, and was wearing a slightly whitish blue cloth shirt. At first glance, this dress is more simple and simple than Lin Dong, who doesn't like to be too public, coupled with that Confucian face, the owner of the Tianlai Gambling House gives people the first impression of being more like a gentle and elegant poor scholar.

"Shopkeeper Lin, do you want a bowl?"

In the courtyard, on a wooden table under a willow tree, Chen Yantian glanced at the breakfast brought by his subordinates, rubbed his hands, and looked at Lin Dong with a smile.

A big bowl of porridge, two large steamed buns, and a plate of small pastries, in addition to the amount of a little much, are very in line with the simple and shabby style of a poor scholar.

"I've already eaten it, Boss Chen uses it slowly." Lin Dong shook his head patiently.

"In that case, Shopkeeper Lin drinks tea." After Chen Yantian said hello, he picked up chopsticks with one hand and a steamed bun with the other, and swept the porridge in the bowl of the sea with a snort.

Lin Dong glanced at the teacup in front of him, and inside, a pink leaf was floating with a pungent Xin Wei.

This tea, according to Chen Yantian, is called his self-prepared Huayou tea. The method of brewing is surprisingly simple, pick flowers and leaves, throw them into a teacup, and then pour boiling water.

Huayou tree is a kind of tree unique to the Han Kingdom, whether it is branches or leaves, after drying and grinding into powder, it can be made into a condiment. This kind of flower tree powder, spicy and choking, is a kind of condiment that families who like to eat spicy dishes.

Lin Dong is okay with spicy dishes, but he has never heard that Hua Youshu can also make tea, and because of his face, he tasted it, and the taste almost made him spit out all the tea in his mouth.

Spicy and bitter, if it exists alone, or if the taste is lighter, Lin Dong's not too picky taste can be accepted. But the three peculiar flavors are mixed together, and the taste is extremely strong, that feeling, Lin Dong has no doubt that even if he is exposed to the sun for three days and three nights, he is afraid that it will be a little better than this Huayou tea.

After waiting for three days, I finally got an audience with the big shots. After making breakfast, in order to arrive on time, I used my ethereal steps to gallop all the way down the relatively empty street. When he arrived at Chen's Mansion, he was forced to hang out of the gate for half an hour by the housekeeper of Chen's Mansion on the grounds that Chen Yantian hadn't gotten up and had not explained that there were guests visiting.

As a result, people finally saw it, but the tea was terrible. In the end, I had to watch Chen Yantian eat breakfast.

A few years ago, not to mention offending a gambling house owner, even if he offended the emperor, Lin Dong still scolded a few words and turned around and left.

Even now, with Lin Dong's concentration, he is faintly unhappy.

This Boss Chen, the shelf is not ordinarily big. With the status of Lin Ji Inn in Lingnan City, how can it be regarded as a super large household with a monthly income of more than 10,000 taels, even if it is to see the county, even if the two sides have a little grudge, I am afraid that they will have to be polite on face. Not to mention, the two sides are still in a relationship of partners.

thought that with Chen Yantian's speed, breakfast would be ready in three or five minutes, but who knows, Chen Yantian actually got up slowly after drinking half a bowl of porridge in a hurry. The steamed bun in his hand is a small bite that is quieter than a lady, and then chews it slowly to taste it.

"Boss Chen......"

Lin Dong couldn't help but speak, but was interrupted by Chen Yantian smiling and waving his hand: "Shopkeeper Lin, I don't like to talk about anything when I eat. ”

"Okay, I'll wait!" Lin Dong's tone was a little hard. I don't like to talk about things when I wash, I don't like to talk about things when I drink tea, and I don't like to talk about things when I eat breakfast.

Whether it was deliberately suppressed, or whether this Boss Chen's own surname was indeed so weird, Lin Dong was very suspicious that today's trip was probably a waste of time.

Nearly half an hour later, Chen Yantian finally put down the chopsticks, and there were no porridges or steamed buns in the big bowl and tray.

"Okay, what's the matter with Shopkeeper Lin looking for me today?"

Lin Dong looked at Chen Yantian and said lightly: "Boss Chen, there is nothing else?" ”

"When you say that, I think of it, the flowers in the garden haven't been watered yet." Chen Yantian stood up, and said in an unquestionable voice: "Shopkeeper Lin, wait, I'll go and water the flowers and come back." ”

"Boss Chen, please!" Lin Dong didn't get up, looking at Chen Yantian's gaze, surprisingly calm. He had already decided that no matter whether or not he could peacefully resolve the matter of the gambling game in the Lin Ji Gymnasium, this Boss Chen would have to pay the price he deserved for wasting his cultivation time for nearly two hours.

Chen Yantian looked straight at Lin Dong, and after a moment, he sat down again, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lin is suddenly so patient, is it because he is impatient to wait because of broken cans?" ”

"Sort of, indeed." Lin Dong smiled, the possibility of a peaceful end is getting smaller and smaller, and his attitude is no longer precious.

"If that's the case, Shopkeeper Lin should go back first!" Chen Yantian's face was as gentle as ever.

Lin Dong shook his head: "I just want to ask, can Boss Chen cancel the gambling game about Lin Ji Gymnasium." ”

"Shopkeeper Lin also wants to start a gambling game?" Chen Yantian asked with a smile.

"There is such a plan, but the upper limit of the bet is only 100 yuan, like Tianlai Casino, which is extremely harmful to the development of Lin Kee Gymnasium." Lin Dong nodded.

"In terms of harm, I've thought about it too. As far as our gambling method is concerned, Lin Kee Gymnasium will not be able to buy tickets for two or three years, and its reputation will also have a great impact. But ......" Chen Yantian said with a smile: "We come to the gambling house every day, it doesn't seem to hurt." ”

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, when Lin Ji Gymnasium compensates Tianlai Casino." Lin Dong asked, "What does Boss Chen think?" ”

"Shopkeeper Lin doesn't know much about the gambling house, do you know, it's only been four days, and my six Tianlai gambling houses have made more than 10,000 taels of silver in the gambling game of Lin Ji Gymnasium, although the gambling game of Lin Ji Gymnasium will be a little hindered to other gambling methods, but it is not difficult to increase the income of five or six thousand taels of silver in three days. This is still not long after the Lin Kee Stadium gambling tournament was launched, if the street knows about it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is going to make money. Chen Yantian smiled kindly, as if he was discussing something with Lin Dong, and said politely: "Besides, at this time, it is the time when our Tianlai Gambling House and Hongfu Gambling House are in full swing, and I can use this Lin Ji Gymnasium gambling game as one of the sharp weapons." Shopkeeper Lin and I, Chen Yantian, are also allies, so shouldn't we take care of our own interests and ignore the interests of our allies? ”

"It seems that Boss Chen doesn't want to talk about it." Lin Dong said unshockedly.

Chen Yantian smiled, shook his head and said: "Otherwise, I will pay 50,000 taels of silver to compensate Shopkeeper Lin, if Shopkeeper Lin can persuade Hongfu Gambling House to cancel the gambling game and persuade other gambling houses to dispel the idea of preparing for the gambling match, I can increase the compensation to 100,000 taels of silver." Otherwise, how about I pay 100,000 taels of silver to buy the Lin Kee Gymnasium? According to the area and decoration of Lin Ji Gymnasium, the silver spent by Lin Shopkeeper should not exceed 50,000 taels, right? came and went, and it only took a long time to make a net profit of more than 50,000 taels of silver. ”

"Boss Chen's two ideas have a bit of a taste of robbery while the fire is hot." Lin Dong asked, "Is there any other solution?" ”

"It's gone!" Chen Yantian's answer was crisp and neat.

"Since that's the case, I won't bother Boss Chen to water the flowers and say goodbye." Lin Dong stood up and arched his hand towards Chen Yantian.

Looking at Lin Dong's always calm face, Chen Yantian's brows furrowed slightly on his face as gentle as ever.

Just as Lin Dong couldn't see through what Chen Yantian was thinking in his heart, Chen Yantian found that he couldn't see through what this Lin shopkeeper was thinking.

However, an innkeeper, even if he can't see through it, shouldn't be a threat.

"Shopkeeper Lin, in terms of Lin Ji Inn, I hope we can cooperate sincerely. As for Lin Kee Gymnasium, don't deliberately let the participants adjust the outcome according to the odds of the Tianlai casino, this kind of thing, Lin Shopkeeper is not suitable for politeness, just hand it over to Tianlai Casino. When Lin Dong turned around and walked more than a dozen steps, a gentle and elegant smile appeared on Chen Yantian's face again: "In addition, do you want to find a housekeeper to lead the way for Shopkeeper Lin?" ”

"No need, I remember the way out of Chen's Mansion."

Lin Dong didn't look back, and strode out of the courtyard.
