Lin Dong, who was sensitive, raised his eyes and looked, although he was hundreds of meters away, he saw clearly that the person who came was Wang Liumole. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that gold ingots fall from the sky, nor do you expose antiques on the ground, but that Wang Liumole came to report the good news?

After running all the way to Lin Dong and greeting Yun Lan, Wang Liumo said with a happy face: "Shopkeeper, the test has been completed." ”

Lin Dong looked at Wang Liumo's gaze with a strong expectation.

"Palm, shopkeeper......" Wang Liumole was a little hairy by Lin Dong's eyes, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.

"Gone?" Lin Dong asked.

"No, no!" Wang Liumo hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Shopkeeper, what else?" ”

Lin Dong choked and was a little speechless.

It is expected that the time for the test will end this month. Today is nineteen, more than ten days ahead of the minimum expectation. Originally, it could be regarded as a happy event. After all, the test is completed, which means that the branches that have joined the inn system can be officially opened if they pick a good name nearby.

But this was originally in the expected time.

"Shopkeeper, did I do something wrong?" Wang Liumo was confused by Lin Dong's attitude, no matter what he thought, he couldn't think of anything he had done wrong.

"It's okay, just thinking of something." Lin Dong said casually: "How many people are there?" ”

Wang Liumole suddenly came to his senses, and his voice raised a little: "There are six hundred and thirty-nine people who have passed the test. ”

"Well, bring ...... at night" Lin Dong's voice paused, and then he was stunned: "Six hundred and thirty-nine? ”

Wang Liumo nodded without hesitation.

"So much?" Lin Dong was suddenly surprised, there were more than 1,000 gangsters in the entire Autumn Wind Mansion combined, and only about fifty of them passed the test. The other nine prefectures under the jurisdiction of Lingnan County, according to his estimate, should be between four hundred and five hundred.

Unexpectedly, it actually reached six hundred and thirty-nine in one go.

Wang Liumo grinned and said with great certainty: "You can guarantee complete loyalty to our Lin Ji Inn." ”

Lin Dong couldn't help but be happy, the time for the completion of the test was not much different, but this number of people was definitely a big surprise.

"Take them to the backyard in the evening, and then come back ......" Lin Dong hesitated, shook his head and said, "Let's bring them over tomorrow night!" Each person was given one hundred and eighty taels of silver and had one day off. ”

"The matter of the branch...... Wang Liumo did not respond to it, but hesitated.

"There's no rush for a day or two." Lin Dong shook his head, the more he found the shopkeeper of the branch, the sooner the major branches could prepare for opening. But the escort team has increased from more than 50 to more than 600 in one go, and it is really unreasonable to say that everyone is happy.

"Okay, if the shopkeeper doesn't have anything to explain, I'll go back?" Wang Liumole asked.

"Go ahead!" Lin Dong waved his hand.

When Wang Liumo rushed away, Lin Dong couldn't help but look at Yun Lan, and said happily: "The luck has increased eightfold, it should have some effect." These more than 1,000 spirit stones are worth spent. ”

"It's worth it, lest you fidget and lose your soul." Yun Lan said with a smile.

Lin Dong smiled and suddenly stood up: "How about going around the city?" My luck came, your luck, nothing special. ”

Despite her lack of interest in adding some luck, Yun Lan nodded and got up.

Lin Dong ran to the breeding pen, and after getting an eagle, beast and bird, he carried Yun Lan into the air and flew towards a banyan forest outside the city.

The banyan forest is not large, and the total area is only about 30 hectares, which is a little less than the fields of some super large landowners.

After jumping off the back of the eagle beast bird outside the woods and letting the eagle beast bird hover in mid-air, Lin Dong and Yun Lan stepped into the banyan forest, which was regarded as a sacred place by the unmarried men and women of Lingnan City, and regarded as a magic land by the parents of their children who had reached the age of marriage.

The morning dew is stained with dead leaves all over the ground, and the towering banyan trees, with their bare branches with yellow-brown spots, and the occasional crisp bird call cannot change the loneliness of the banyan forest after winter.

Like the business of the restaurant industry, this season is also the off-season for the banyan forest. The two of them chatted while walking, passing along the way, not to mention the spirit beasts and spiritual materials, and they didn't see a single one.

After walking for a while, Yun Lan suddenly stopped.

"Another direction."

"Going the other way?" Lin Dong was a little surprised, and couldn't figure out why Bai Yunlan suddenly said such a sentence.

Yun Lan nodded, without giving any explanation, and walked sideways to the other side.

Lin Dong had to follow, and after turning his head to look at the direction he had taken before, his heart moved.

While walking and chatting, Lin Dong was dedicated to three purposes, and his mind continued to be released, extending in the direction where he was before.

More than a hundred meters later, the expanding mind stopped, and the corners of Lin Dong's mouth showed an imperceptible smile.

100 meters away, outside the tree hole under a large banyan tree, the dead grass covered most of the entire tree hole. And in the tree hole, a pair of young men and women who are no more than twenty years old are nesting in the tree hole, you feed me, I feed you, eating steamed buns affectionately.

Lin Dong had seen this situation countless times in the previous world, but this world was the first time he had encountered it.

Before getting married, if you don't say anything else, sneak and hold a small hand, in the Han Kingdom, you can be regarded as a prodigal son and a bold woman. The slightly more open martial arts world is limited to holding hands and chatting, and it is still much more conservative than the men and women in the tree cave.

"Daylight ...... Offense against decency! ”

Lin Dong muttered, with envy and jealousy in his tone.

Yun Lan's footsteps paused, and then sped up a little. It was as if Lin Dong's muttering had not reached her ears.

Lin Dong touched his nose and chased after him.

I can't tell if it's good luck or bad luck, I walked around for a morning, and I didn't see the spirit beast and spiritual material, but the young man and woman who entered the woods met six pairs.

In winter, in broad daylight, in the light of the off-season, seven pairs of men and women can come in the banyan forest, which is definitely a rare thing.

Returning to the inn, and then waiting until the evening, after the eightfold luck was over, Lin Dong was sure that the basis of the bonus was indeed his luck on the day. This also means that the good luck firewood house can bring help to the inn's business has not yet reached the level of rebellion.

There was no way, Lin Dong had to start researching and sorting out information such as how much dry firewood can be placed in a square meter, what kind of dish consumes the least dry firewood, etc.

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that the various information was counted.

Among the five squares of the Good Luck Firewood Room, the firewood that can be stacked can only reach a maximum of one meter. Among ordinary firewood, the most resistant to burning is a kind of tree called the strong sound tree. This kind of tree is not common in Lingnan City, but it is not uncommon, and the price is only three times higher than that of ordinary firewood, and the cost is almost negligible. In terms of quantity, as long as all the branches are not full, there is more than enough to support the Good Luck Kitchen.

Originally, according to Lin Dong's thoughts the day before, this good luck firewood was undoubtedly used to cook dishes that consumed less fire, the better. But after thinking about it carefully, I still rejected this idea.

Limited by the basis and cost of luck bonus, good luck firewood can not be popularized in all dishes on a large scale, to achieve its maximum effect, there is no doubt that as an expensive ingredient, let guests choose which dish to add in it is definitely not possible.

First, if nothing good happens that day, it is easy for diners who spend a lot of money but have nothing to think that it is not worth it, and in the short term, without being confirmed to be effective, they may even feel that Lin Kee Inn is cheating money. In this way, not only will it not be of much help to the inn's business, but even if it proves to be effective after a long time, it will be difficult to completely recover the inn's damaged reputation. Second, it is too risky to do so, and if it is spread to the sect, it is likely to cause great trouble. It can increase luck, which is also a great temptation in the eyes of martial artists. If you can see a real effect, it is worth the risk of being targeted by the sect, and if the effect is not obvious, it is not worth it.

After thinking about it, Lin Dong decided to take the route of boiling frogs in warm water, and set the goal of good luck bonus as two signature dishes of Lin Kee Inn, stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves and vitality beef balls.

The cost of these two dishes is about 100 wen and 10 wen respectively, but the price of selling them is two taels of silver per plate.

One cubic meter of dry firewood can stew more than 40 cups of stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves, and can cook more than 500 plates of vitality beef balls. If the price of the two signature dishes is not raised, and it is set to double the good luck bonus of only ten spirit stones per day, it is equivalent to the cost of increasing to three hundred and fifty yuan and thirty yuan respectively. If it is set to triple the good luck bonus, the cost is only about 600 Wen and 50 Wen respectively.

The profit is also not lower than that of other alcoholic beverages.

The biggest advantage of this is that it can avoid being coveted by the sect, and secondly, it will not affect the reputation of the inn, and then the appeal of these two signature dishes will be greatly increased over time, which can drive the inn's business.

Of course, this is not without its drawbacks, the first of which is the slow time to effect, and it takes dozens or even hundreds of times to order this dish before you subconsciously realize that it will bring good luck. Compared with the benefits, Lin Dong can fully accept this shortcoming.

In the end, Lin Dong decided that the good luck firewood house was all set to triple the good luck bonus, and was only responsible for the two signature dishes of stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves and vitality beef balls. If a new signature dish appears, find a way to raise the price to tens of hundreds of taels of silver, so as to increase the multiple of the good luck bonus with the help of ultra-high profit margins.

In the middle of the night, Wang Liuxi sneaked into the backyard of the Lin Ji Inn with more than 600 gangsters who had passed various tedious tests. Lin Dong waited until they all agreed to join the Lin Ji Inn, and then checked their surnames one by one.

It's not bad, there are more than 200 gangsters who meet the minimum requirements for being a shopkeeper in Lin Dong's eyes, which is enough to cope with the newly opened ninety-nine branches.

After carefully selecting and selecting the best ninety-nine surnames and assigning them to each branch as shopkeepers, the rest, Lin Dong waved his hand, and all of them became the new batch of guards of Lin Ji Inn.

With the addition of this group of guards, the spirit stones consumed to open the cultivation bonus will be greatly increased. Similarly, the strength of Lin Kee Inn will also have a greater foundation for development.
