Chapter 518: The First Joining
readx;
After Yun Lan finished copying the materials needed for the Realm Breaking Pill and handed them to Ma Chun, Lin Dong and her once again embarked on the journey of soaring over the mountains and rivers of the Great Han Kingdom. The difference between the two of them www.biquge.info on the back of the canopy bird, no longer playing chess and chatting like before, but changing to Lin Dong refining the Thousand Illusion Pill alone, while Yun Lan is also constantly researching and understanding various alchemy formulas.
In the capital, the restaurant industry did not ease the tense atmosphere because Lin Dong had something to do.
The owners of the top restaurants are worried every day that Lin Kee Inn will treat them as the next Junda Restaurant, but they are entangled in the fact that no one is willing to be deceived, so that other big restaurants can take more advantage in joining forces, or they will contribute less when suppressing Lin Kee Inn.
Negotiations take place almost every day, but the progress of the substantive surname is not encountered every day. In this situation, after Lin Dong returned to the capital for the second time, Lin Ji Inn officially launched seven spicy dishes and strange-shaped bicycles, which completely made the owners of the major top restaurants really endanger themselves.
Originally, although they were worried that Lin Ji Inn would use the same method as Junda Restaurant to deal with them, they were not in a hurry to form an alliance. After all, to have the current scale of Lin Kee Inn is not something that can be done just by relying on a large relationship, and the head of the shopkeeper will definitely not be simple.
Since the mind is not simple, it should naturally understand that once it is urgent, it is likely to attract various families to join forces to deal with Lin Ji Inn. Undoubtedly, although the probability that Lin Ji Inn will ask King Qingliu to design and frame the owners of other big restaurants is not small, it is not 100%, and it is distributed to the heads of each big restaurant, and the possibility of becoming an unlucky egg is even lower. In addition, Lin Ji Inn had a superfluous move of-for-tat on wine and food before dealing with Junda Restaurant, and it is good that the alliance can be mutually beneficial, if a certain family takes advantage of it, it will also be endless, it is better not to provoke Lin Ji Inn, if Lin Ji Inn is really eyeing himself, he will not say that he will make a superfluous move, and then consider forming an alliance or directly admitting to find Lin Ji Inn to reconcile.
As soon as the seven spicy dishes were launched, the owners of the major top restaurants were a little messy with the abacus beads. When these seven spicy dishes were first introduced, the owners of the major top restaurants didn't pay much attention to it, after all, although the spicy dishes were not considered mainstream, but the result was that many regular customers who liked spicy food actually ran to Lin Kee Inn regardless of the long distance. This enthusiasm is even more ferocious than some time ago in order to exchange for enough spirit stone fans. And it lasts long enough that it doesn't even show the slightest sign of cooling.
Although there are not many people who like to eat spicy dishes, every regular customer is the most precious capital of each top restaurant, and the results are out. The seven new spicy dishes of Lin Ji Inn can be called the best of the best spicy dishes, spicy and fierce, spicy and spicy, but after the spicy, I like to eat spicy food, all of which are regarded as the greatest enjoyment of life. For these seven spicy dishes, all of them abandoned the top restaurants they were familiar with, like a girl who thinks about it for a long time, and they don't see each other every few days, and they are uncomfortable.
As soon as the bizarre bicycle was launched, the decisions made by the owners of the top restaurants were completely overturned. This so-called bicycle is not as good as a horse-drawn carriage for sheltering from the wind and rain, not as beautiful as a horse-drawn carriage, and not as stable as a horse-drawn carriage for its speed. Even if it is faster than a sedan chair, although it is a little faster, there is no need to hire two sedan chair drivers all the time, but just not being able to shelter from the wind and rain can already erase these advantages, not to mention, this bicycle also needs to waste physical strength, and it also needs to fall a lot of times to learn.
However, Lin Kee Inn is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the advantages of bicycles have been fully explored, and the waste of physical strength has also been promoted as exercise. The most troublesome thing is that Lin Ji Inn has shifted the publicity direction of this bicycle to children and teenagers.
From one to sixteen years old, there are bikes for almost every age. And beautiful and small, there are bells, kites and other gadgets hanging on it, plus the overwhelming leaflets have been focusing on promoting the various benefits of this small bicycle for children and teenagers, not only children and teenagers are deeply attracted, even adults can't help but want to buy a few for their children.
In addition, a variety of different types of bicycles are suitable for all ages, and the prices of wine and food exchanged are also different, from the dignitaries to the peddlers and pawns, all of which are covered, and its influence, judging by the eyes of the owners of the major top restaurants, is destined to become a must-have thing for every household as advertised by the Kelin Kee Inn.
The use of bicycles as a means of soliciting customers is naturally extraordinary.
The owners of the major restaurants sent people to ask the carpenter and blacksmith, except for the two big carts, it is not difficult to imitate. Even if it's a wheel, it can be made of other materials, but it's just a little worse. The real difficulty lies in the cost.
If it is made of wood, it will fall apart in a few days, and if it is made of steel, Lin Ji Inn has the mechanical equipment powered by spirit stones researched by Peng Qiao, although it is simple and rough, but it is not comparable to the steelmaking level of the blacksmith shop. Even if it is the largest blacksmith shop in the capital, the cost of steelmaking is 108,000 miles worse than the machinery and equipment of the Lin Kee Inn.
Do the math, even if it is the molding of various parts, the cost of steel plus the labor cost of assembly, an ordinary large bicycle that can be exchanged for one or two silver at Lin Kee Inn requires more than a dozen taels of silver to do, at least ten times the difference.
Those high-end bicycles with exquisite materials and inlaid gold and silver, although the cost gap is not more than ten times, but it also needs to be doubled. Manufactured, although it can resist the attraction of bicycles to Lin Kee Inn, it will also lead to a sharp decline in the profits of its own restaurant.
A few days after the seven spicy dishes and bicycles of Lin Kee Inn became popular, the owners of the major top restaurants found that they were powerless to compete, and after thinking about it, they felt that they could not sit back and watch the development of Lin Kee Inn from gaining a firm foothold to suppressing the major top restaurants and restaurants, and then gathered together again.
This time, the negotiations went surprisingly smoothly, and the intention to join forces and form an alliance was soon reached.
The day before Lin Dong returned to the inn for the third time, the major top restaurants officially launched the first means after the alliance.
This method does not have much technical content, but the top restaurants adjacent to each other can add each other's signature dishes. But to be based in the capital, even a small restaurant has certain advantages that other restaurants do not have, not to mention the top restaurants. After adding the signature dishes of the adjacent top restaurants, it is equivalent to a step up in strength, and its attractiveness is naturally greater.
The strength of all the top restaurants has been raised to a higher level, although the strength of Lin Kee Inn is not bad, after adding seven spicy dishes and bicycles, the attraction is even above the top restaurants, but the impact is also not small. Especially in the business of 25 boxes, the popularity has ebbed significantly.
In this regard, Lin Kee Inn did not have any countermeasures. It's not that there is no way to deal with it, but Lin Dong feels that it is better not to deal with it.
This is the first time that the major top restaurants have joined forces, and if this cooperation is immediately sent back, it will definitely be a big blow to the major top restaurants. At a time when alliances are unstable, such a blow can lead to the collapse of an alliance that has been so hard to reach consensus.
Let the major top restaurants be happy, and then press back after discovering that the alliance does have a certain effect, the effect is just the idea, doing so will only make the owners of the major top restaurants more convinced that only the alliance can suppress the Lin Ji Inn, so as to make the alliance stronger.
An unbreakable alliance is what Lin Dong wants to see the most, and only in this way can he prevent anyone from playing any shady tricks behind his back. The capital is not as good as other places, Lin Dong's policy is always to work steadily, first cultivate a group of regular customers to gain a firm foothold and then make plans. The first time the major restaurants joined forces, it was just a means to throw bricks and lead jade, and if it had some effect, it would continue to cooperate with a greater means, and if it had no effect, it would fall apart. A small brick throw, although it has a great impact on Lin Ji Inn, is not enough to destroy Lin Dong's steady plan in a short period of time.
In the sky above Hongtu City, which is thousands of miles away from the capital, the huge body of the canopy bird hovers in the air, and there is no sign of finding a place to land.
In the pavilion on the head of the canopy bird, Yun Lan was studying and memorizing the alchemy formula she got from the big box, seemingly preoccupied, but in fact, her mind was enveloping Lin Dong.
At this moment, Lin Dong was sitting cross-legged in the open space of the gazebo, his face was solemn, and there was a faint smoke floating above his head, and the wind blowing from the wings of the canopy bird blended into the sky.
In the body, the surging spiritual power was swimming in the meridians again and again, and then kept hitting the dantian.
The vast dantian, after spending nearly a month and finally refining the Thousand Illusion Pill, which can exert the limit of medicinal effect, became equally surging and full of spiritual power, and swelled again and again, but with a solid barrier, the spiritual power was suppressed back.
One week, two weeks, three weeks...... Rising and falling, under the impact of Lin Dong's tireless control of spiritual power, the solid and heavy dantian is constantly thinning. And Lin Dong's limit of patience is also shrinking, but every time he encounters a time when he is about to lose his attention and needs to be completely concentrated every minute and every second, on the side, Yun Lan can always send a gentle spiritual power in time to temporarily take over the task of impacting the dantian for Lin Dong, and wait until Lin Dong recovers a little, and then retreat back, so that Lin Dong's spiritual power will become dominant again.
Finally, with a pop, Lin Dong's body shook. Immediately, the bones around the body crackled, and a feeling of joy and relaxation swept through the body, completely sweeping away the fatigue of hitting the dantian for four or five consecutive days.
His eyes opened suddenly, Lin Dong only felt refreshed, and the world in his eyes became clearer and clearer. The wind swept past him, curling up bursts of pleasure.
"Yun Lan, I'm just like you now, and I'm also in the eightfold stage of heart reversal. Maybe, in terms of strength, I'm a little better than you. ”
"After opening this branch, let's find a place to try."
Yun Lan smiled and suggested that Lin Dong wanted to surpass her, and she was also trying to slow down her cultivation speed without revealing a trace to let Lin Dong surpass.
The outcome of the competition is not difficult to guess.
