Chapter 172: Safe and Secure
"Okay, okay, keep drinking."
Old man Ding shook the wine jar in his hand with a loud noise.
"How about drinking later?" Lin Dong came to his senses from his dazing and asked, "Old man, are you interested in going to Autumn Wind City with me?" ”
"Coming with you to Autumn Wind City?" Old man Ding scratched his head and it was a little difficult to decide, in Sealand City, he was still quite comfortable.
Lin Dong nodded, Yun Cangqiong had already left the inn, and it was nothing to do if he stayed in Sealand City any longer. Now, Autumn Wind City is the main target of the inn's development, and the killer feature of Old Man Ding naturally has to be brought over just in case.
"Guaranteed to have a drink and no one to disturb you?" Old man Ding asked.
Wine is sure to be able to make sure as to bother...... Lin Dong said helplessly: "A little iron sound, is it considered an interruption?" ”
"If it's not loud." Old man Ding hesitated for a moment, and said leisurely: "You are the shopkeeper, you are in charge." ”
Lin Dong couldn't help but snap his fingers, grabbed the altar wine, and said, "Let's go!" Go to Autumn Wind City! ”
"Go now?" Old man Ding raised his eyes and looked at the sky, thousands of miles of starry sky, no matter how he looked, he didn't want to be a good time to travel.
"Of course, I'll go now, go to Autumn Wind City, and drink with your old man for a day and a night." Lin Dong nodded heavily.
Old man Ding stretched his waist and stood up, eating people with a soft mouth, there was no way, the old arms and legs could only be bumped.
Lin Dong stretched out his right arm towards the room: "Please!" ”
"I'm just waiting outside, I'm going to pack something, you hurry up." Old man Ding shook his head lazily.
"Come in and see." Lin Dong couldn't say anything, put all the wine jars on the stone table into the mobile counter, and then went to Old Man Ding's room to sweep away all the wine jars.
Helplessly, Old Man Ding had to follow.
"Hey, why did you get a door in your room?"
When he entered the room, he saw the door on the wall at first glance, and the old man Ding was surprised.
Lin Dong was silent, opened the door, snorted towards Li, and then strode in.
"The Chamber of Secrets? This is the ...... to the old man Ding, who was a little confused, looking at the direction, how did he get to his room? But inside, it's obviously a stone room.
Lin Dong went straight to the wooden ladder, walked up a few steps, reached out to open the wooden board on it, and slowly opened the wall with a press of the mechanism.
Old man Ding followed into the utility room in a daze, and the person was already completely confused.
After closing the secret passage again, Lin Dong opened the door of the utility room and said leisurely: "Autumn Wind City, it's here!" ”
Old man Ding glanced out of the door and said in amazement: "This is Autumn Wind City?" ”
Lin Dong asked, "The old man should know about the teleportation array, right?" ”
"Teleportation array?" Old Man Ding was completely dumbfounded, in a daze, he actually passed through a teleportation array?
"A spirit array similar to a teleportation array."
Lin Dong took out a jar of good wine and threw it to Old Man Ding, if a few days ago, he would definitely be a little worried about letting Old Man Ding know about it. But the braised wind spirit grass already knew that in comparison, the delivery door was insignificant. If the old man Ding really had any bad intentions, he would have paid attention to the braised wind spirit grass a long time ago.
Old man Ding smacked his lips, this kind of secret, it's better not to ask, uncover the mud seal, and drink it to himself.
"Let's go! I'll go to my room for a drink first, and I'll arrange a place for you tomorrow. Lin Dong greeted and took Old Man Ding back to the room.
The two drank in the room until noon the next day, and seeing that there were not a few wine jars left in the mobile counter, Lin Dong took it out and left the room alone.
I haven't been here for more than ten days, and on the far left side of the courtyard center, a simple blacksmith shop has been set up. In the blacksmith's shop, the fire was blazing, and several blacksmiths were busy beating several matchstick-sized iron rods with small hammers. The level of concentration, no one even has the existence of Lin Dong.
"Shopkeeper Lin!"
A soft cry came from behind him, and Lin Dong turned his head to see that Xu Chunfen was standing behind him with an empty bamboo basket.
"Madame, where are you going?" Lin Dong said with a smile.
Xu Chunfen smiled: "Xiaoxiao is clamoring to eat sugar gourds, I'll buy some for her." ”
"This kind of thing, just give a command, buddy."
Xu Chunfen shook her head: "I also just want to go out for a walk, so I don't need to trouble my buddy." ”
Lin Dong didn't force it, and asked, "How's the progress?" ”
"I've tried it with a big one, and I'm slowly trying to shrink it."
Lin Dong nodded, chatted with Xu Chunfen while walking, and when he arrived at the lobby, he stopped, and saw Ma Chun sitting at the counter, just about to greet him, at the door, a cyan figure passed by Xu Chunfen.
"Triangular eyes? How did you get here? ”
Almost at the same time, Lin Dong and Ma Chun noticed the comer.
Triangle Eyes grinned and said: "Shopkeeper, Lishui City and Blue Wind City have been taken, everyone is temporarily staying in Blue Wind City, I will rush back first to report to the shopkeeper." ”
"So fast?"
Lin Dongdun was surprised, except for Zhang Ye who stayed in Xilan City, Wang Liumole and the four of them all led people to sweep the other nine county towns on the same day. Among them, Wang Liu's mole is responsible for three, and the three thin bamboo poles are responsible for two each. According to Lin Dong's expectations, it would take at least a month for them to come back, and the first one to come back should be Liu Hao, who was in charge of the two counties closest to Autumn Wind City, but he didn't expect that it would be the triangular eye that took the lead in completing the task.
Triangle Eyes sneered and said: "Luckily, the county orders of these two counties are not difficult, and the little gangsters are also easy to deal with, and they will wilt when they are scared." ”
Lin Dong said casually: "No matter what, you are the first to complete the task...... Give you three days off, find Ma Chun to pay 1,800 taels of silver, and go wherever you feel free. ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper!" The triangular eyes are overjoyed, 1,800 taels of silver, in Autumn Wind City, you can be free as much as you want.
"By the way, you go back to the kitchen to eat first, and come to the yard to find me later, I have something to ask you." Lin Dong admonished.
"Well, then I'll go." Triangle Eye nodded, and took three steps and two steps into the back door.
"Shopkeeper, when did you come over?" Ma Chun stepped forward and said.
"It hasn't been long since I arrived." Lin Dong instructed: "Old Man Ding also came with me, arrange a room for him first, and then pick a few clever guys to be responsible for his living and eating, and then send guys to Lin Ji Liquor Store to bring some ten-year thyme over." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it?" Ma Chun nodded heavily.
"Wait, has there been any big news in Autumnwind City lately?" Lin Dong asked.
Ma Chun shook his head: "The guest restaurant and the windward building are still making trouble, but they are much lighter than before, it is estimated that the two families know that if they continue to make trouble, no one will want to do business anymore." Fenglin Restaurant over there, is still slowly reducing the price, recently launched a signature dish, said to be able to replenish qi and blood, the owner of the Huakai Restaurant in the south of the city recently lost a lot of silver in the casino, this signature dish came out, it is estimated that it will become the first restaurant that can not withstand the suppression of Fenglin Restaurant. ”
Lin Dong pondered for a moment and asked, "How is the business of the accommodation building and the lobby?" ”
"The accommodation building is still about the same, more than sixty rooms a day. The lobby ......" Ma Chun paused and continued: "Business is booming on the first floor, and the big households on the second floor have recently added some, and there are already more than 100 tables a day, but there has been no increase in the past two days. The box on the third floor is still the same, one or two tables a day. ”
"Well, go get busy!"
Lin Dong waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, or temporarily gave up changing the main store to the Autumn Wind City Inn. The occupancy rate and the number of large diners are enough, but most of the business comes from the guest restaurant and the windward building, and there is a Fenglin restaurant behind it. Wait until the VIP card is launched to make sure that the number of diners can be maintained before changing the main restaurant.
Back in the backyard, not long after sitting down at the stone table, Triangle Eyes wiped his mouth and quickly walked out of the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, what do you have to ask me?"
"Sit!" Lin Dong pouted at the stone bench opposite, and waited until Triangle Eye sat down before he spoke: "Since you have been a thief for more than ten years, judging from your experience, if you want to steal other people's things, what kind of person will not do it?" ”
"Of course it's a beggar and a poor, and if you steal, it's a steal." Triangle Eye said without thinking: "Then there are the big families who have a relationship with the official family, and most of the thieves of some levels will first figure out which of the big families in the city are related to the official family." If you accidentally steal this kind of person, it is better to say that there is less silver, and if there is more silver, it will definitely be easy to attract the pursuit of the officials. ”
Lin Dong's face was happy, in terms of the security of the VIP card, he had already thought about it, and the most important thing was to control the thieves in the city. The gangsters can control it all, and some thieves are naturally not difficult. But the problem is that this matter is a bit shady, and it is not suitable for publicity, so it cannot reassure the big families.
Hearing Triangle Eye say this, he understood what to promote. The matter of controlling thieves is not visible, but with Li Jiancheng's relationship, it is completely possible to tie the VIP card to the official family. Publicizing the inn's determination to recover the stolen VIP cards of large households on a large scale is enough to make large households full of confidence in the safety of VIP cards.
After thinking about it, Lin Dong took out a VIP card and handed it to Triangle Eye, and said, "In addition to tying up a relationship with the official family, what do you think should be done so that the thief will not have the idea of hitting this card?" ”
took the VIP card, the triangular eyes rolled over and over for a moment, and muttered: "This card is too small and too light, if you put it in the placket, you will meet a master, and you won't feel it if you touch it." Only if you put it in the money bag, with the weight of the money bag, unless you are in the downtown area and your attention is attracted by something, otherwise, if the money bag is cut open, you will definitely be alert. ”
"You can't put it in your money bag." Lin Dong shook his head and put it in his money bag, it was very inconvenient to buy things and take silver.
"Then you can only make a hole and hang it around your neck with a rope."
Lin Dong still shook his head, it was a cold day, it was inconvenient to take it out and put it in, and it was not very good-looking.
"Otherwise, use cow tendon to string it and hang it around your waist like a jade pendant?" Triangle Eye explained: "The cow tendon is difficult to cut, and although it is inconvenient to tie the money bag, this card does not need to be untied often anyway, and I am not afraid of this trouble." ”
Lin Dong slapped him violently, this method is good, and it doesn't have to be cow tendon. The tenacity of the cow tendon is enough, but it is a little thicker, and the tenacity is even more than the tendon of the cow tendon, and the extremely fine spirit animal tendon is used to make a rope, hanging it on the waist, and in the shape of the VIP card, it is not lost to the hanging jade pendant.
"Okay, I already have a plan for this, let's go find Ma Chunzhi's silver!"
Lin Dong got up, he already had a bottom in his heart, tied up with the housekeeper, and the gimmick of making a rope with spirit beast tendons was enough to ensure that the big families had absolute confidence in the safety of the VIP card.
The rest depends on how it is promoted.
