In the greeting, the first one mentioned the Lord of the county, which is understandable, Lin Ji Inn has the Hua family, a backer who is willing to come forward at any cost, and may not be afraid of being suppressed by the county, but in the same way, no one will be afraid of the family power of the Han Dynasty, and neither side wants to offend anyone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Ji Inn not to mention that he just has a deep friendship with the eldest young master of the Hua family, even if he is the head of the Hua family, he will not put up a shelf in front of a county platform.

But the second person who greeted him had a big problem.

It was Hong Wanfu, not Chen Yantian.

In normal times, the three of them would never have too much thought about an ordinary greeting, but now that the stakes are high, they have to think through every word.

The three of them are all masters of observing words and feelings, so naturally they will not miss a greeting.

In their opinion, the order of this greeting meant that in Lin Dong's heart, he was even more disgusted with Chen Yantian.

Personal preferences are very likely to affect the development of the whole thing. Therefore, although Yang Yankang and Chen Yantian smiled as before, they were a little reluctant, while Hong Wanfu's smile was obviously a little brighter.

His eyes swept over the faces of the three of them, and Lin Dong was very satisfied with the power caused by his words.

"Lord Juntai, Boss Hong, Boss Chen, please sit down, please forgive me for not greeting me well." Lin Dong warmly beckoned Yang Yankang to sit down in the main seat, then beckoned Hong Wanfu to sit down with a smile, and finally, greeted Chen Yantian with a flat expression to sit down.

Now it is centered on Lin Dong, Lin Dong's every move, word and smile is extremely important, and the difference is naturally clear. The attitude towards Lin Dong is also a little more affirmative.

Of course, none of the three of them are stupid, and they all belong to the level of human spirits, Lin Dong has the meaning of pretending to be a gesture, and he also knows it in his heart.

Therefore, the people with ugly faces this time are not only Yang Yankang and Chen Yantian, but even Hong Wanfu is also beating drums in his heart. This shopkeeper Lin will deliberately put on this attitude, undoubtedly wanting to let both sides compete, and then obtain the greatest benefits.

For Hong Wanfu, no matter how high the price he can afford, I am afraid it cannot compare to Yang Yankang, who fully supports Chen Yantian. The glimmer of hope to turn the tide may have decreased a lot after losing the advantage of Lin Dong's likes and dislikes.

For Yang Yankang and Chen Yantian, Lin Dong's attitude is also not a good thing, after all, this Lin shopkeeper has two backers, Hua Jia and Fu Tongshan, who are far away and one near away, plus the Chamber of Commerce's restrictions on local officials, there is no need to care too much about the attitude of a county. Both sides fought only to bring the benefits to Lin Dong. Relatively speaking, after all, this Lin shopkeeper is the owner of the inn, the inn is the main business, if Hong Wanfu abandons the car and gives up the Hongfu Restaurant, the Tianlai Gambling House will not be able to take out the equivalent benefits at all. Even if it is more than silver, although Hong Wanfu has suffered heavy losses in the past few months, his savings for more than 20 years are also higher than those of the Tianlai gambling house.

Depending on where you are, you know different information, and you have different ideas.

Lin Dong, that's what you want. He had already made up his mind that it was best to have both fish and bear's paws, and if he couldn't have both, he had to fight for the greatest benefits. If you want the greatest benefit, the only thing you have to do is to keep raising Yang Yankang, constantly cracking down on Chen Yantian, and putting Hong Wanfu in the center. Only in this way can both parties see hope, so as to continue to raise the price, and even find an opportunity to make Lin Kee Inn have both fish and bear's paws.

The four of them sat down in turn, Lin Dong glanced at the wine and food on the table, and shouted loudly: "Wang Fu, take someone to remove the dishes, and order the kitchen to make a new one and send it over." ”

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Outside the door, the voice of the guy Wang Fu sounded.

"Why should Shopkeeper Lin be so polite, before and after, it's already the third batch of wine and food, and it's summer, it doesn't matter if it's cold."

Yang Yankang smiled politely, Chen Yantian responded silently, only Hong Wanfu did not say a word. It's not that he doesn't want to be polite, but the meaning of Yang Yankang's words is not only polite, but also the meaning of reminding Lin Dong that he has neglected a county for a long time.

If you follow the tone, it is equivalent to helping Yang Yankang remind Lin Dong. Hong Wanfu would rather choose to have a less good impression because of no kind words, rather than help Yang Yankang add a bit of guilt or pressure to Lin Dong. If he was not careful, Yang Yankang would have the initiative, and he would have no hope.

"Where, coarse tea and weak wine, don't dislike it." Lin Dong casually said a few polite words.

"If this is considered coarse tea and light wine, Lingnan City, there will be no good food and wine." Yang Yankang shook his head with a smile.

These words are not all kind words. The table is full of wine and dishes, there are a total of twenty-four dishes, in addition to the signature dish of Lin Ji Inn, vitality beef balls, all of them are spirit beast spirit materials, among which you can even see four or five order spirit beast spirit materials, tea and wine are also the most expensive ones in Lin Ji Inn. Based on the price of wine and food at Lin Ji Inn, this table is definitely not less than two hundred taels of silver, and even if it is cost, it is more than one hundred taels.

After four tables, the cost alone has exceeded five hundred taels.

Although five hundred taels of silver is not comparable to the settlement fee that Tianlai Gambling House and Hongfu Gambling House are going to take, there are only four people for a banquet and drink, and the cost of a meal alone is as high as more than five hundred taels, which is definitely the highest standard in Lingnan City.

This attitude is definitely more than five hundred taels of silver.

Not long after being polite, a few guys knocked on the door, and while removing all the wine and food, they also served two plates of pastries and a plate of spirit animal meat.

Picking up the wine jug on the table, Lin Dong shook it, and the thirty-year-old thyme made a string of crisp collision sounds in the jug.

"Lord Juntai, try the wine of our Lin Kee Inn."

Lin Dong smiled and stretched out the wine jug to Yang Yankang's wine glass.

Yang Yankang glanced at the crystal liquid overflowing from the spout, sniffed the wine quietly, and said with a smile: "The aged thyme in Lin Ji Inn is really extraordinary, just smelling it, I, a person who has not drunk for more than ten years, are a little salivating." ”

"The Lord of the county knows that it is thyme just by smelling it, and he is obviously a good hand in wine, who would believe that he has not been drunk for more than ten years."

After Lin Dong poured himself a glass with a smile, he got up and came to Hong Wanfu, who had already gotten up to greet him, and the wine jug in his hand stretched out to the wine glass in front of him.

"I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself."

Hong Wanfu hurriedly took the wine jug in Lin Dong's hand and poured himself a glass. Then, after hesitating for a moment, he held the wine jug in front of Lin Dong.

Seeing Lin Dong pick up the wine jug, Chen Yantian hurriedly stood up and waited.

Lin Dong didn't squint, walked straight back to his original position and sat down, raised the wine glass in his hand, and sent it towards Yang Yankang: "Lord Juntai, please!" ”

"Shopkeeper Lin, please!" Yang Yankang looked strange and raised his glass.

"Boss Hong, Boss Chen, please!" The wine glass in Lin Dong's hand shook towards Hong Wanfu and Chen Yantian.

"Shopkeeper Lin, please, Shopkeeper Lin, please."

Hong Wanfu raised his glass and said politely, his expression seemed to be crying and laughing, obviously enduring something.

Chen Yantian's face was pale, if he said that he ignored it before and had a bad attitude, now, he just picked up his arm and slapped his face.

Waiting for himself to stand up, but pretending to forget that he didn't see himself, he went back to sit down alone without pouring the wine, and when he toasted, he remembered it clearly. This behavior, not to mention Chen Yantian's status and identity, is unbearable even for ordinary people.

Seeing that Chen Yantian was about to have a seizure, Hong Wanfu kept squirting a subtle grunt in his throat in order to hold back the smile on his face, and his mouth was also crooked a lot. Yang Yankang hurriedly stood up, quickly picked up the chopsticks in front of him, sandwiched a piece of red, yellow and blue pastry, and praised: "This should be the Fulong cake of Lin Ji Inn's famous Lingnan City, right?" ”

"Lord Juntai has good eyesight, this Fulong cake has three colors, which are prepared with three different spices, the entrance is soft, and it tastes very fragrant......" Lin Dong's plan was to step on Chen Yantian desperately, but he didn't want to step on him with one foot, seeing Yang Yankang interrupted, he immediately let Chen Yantian go for the time being, and briefly introduced the characteristics of Fulong cake with a smile.

Yang Yankang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he was a little dissatisfied with Lin Dong going too far, not only blatantly suppressing Chen Yantian in front of him, but even forcing himself to come forward to play a round, but he had to put on a faint smile, pretending to be very interested in Fulong cake, and kept asking about the origin of the characteristics of Fulong cake, so that Chen Yantian would not be hit again, and it would be convenient to calm down.

Chen Yantian's endurance was obviously not bad, although the anger in his heart was like a flame, but Tie Qing's face, in Hong Wanfu's regretful gaze, was slowly turning white. By the time Lin Dong explained the Fulong cake in detail, the guy had already served the second plate of spirit beast meat, and it had already returned to normal.

"Come on, Lord Kodai, try this braised goldenrod fish." Lin Dong picked up the chopsticks, nodded towards a newly served dish, and introduced to Yang Yankang: "This goldenrod fish, not only looks bright in color, but also tastes unique. But the second and third mouthfuls ...... The taste is that the more you eat, the better. ”

"Then you'll have to taste it."

Yang Yankang has been an official for decades, and a third-order spirit beast meat that can be seen in almost every county is just a piece of meat, so naturally he will not have eaten it, and he believes that Lin Dong must also know this. Therefore, Yang Yankang only thought about it a little, and decades of experience as an official immediately made him look like he had never eaten.

After picking up a little and putting it in his mouth, Yang Yankang chewed a few times, his brows furrowed tightly, and he swallowed the fish in his mouth in one gulp, and couldn't help but say: "This taste is really weird, a bit like the taste of half a jar of sugar poured into the cured meat." ”

"Try the second bite, it's guaranteed to taste a lot better than the first." Lin Dong understood that Yang Yankang was deliberately flattering, trying to make himself a little flattered, so as to slowly grasp the dominance.

If you are an ordinary person, even if this move cannot be immediate, it will definitely have some effect, and it will definitely be promising under the pursuit of victory. It's a pity that Yang Yankang doesn't know Lin Dong's true power, and a county is flattering, so that he will not feel flattered.
