Chapter 322: Wages Can't Be Paid in Vain
Although she has not officially joined the inn system, there is no suspense that Yu Linglong will become the No. 3 chef of Lin Ji Inn. Since it was his own person, the injury could not be ignored, Lin Dong couldn't help but look at Yun Lan.
With just one look, Yun Lan understood what Lin Dong meant, came to Yu Linglong's body, picked up her wrist, and a stream of spiritual power poured into it.
After a while, Yun Lan raised her head, took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Yu Linglong, and said: "The internal injuries are a little serious, find a place for you to recuperate later, the pills in it are one each, take it for half an hour to cultivate on your own, and it should be able to heal in two months." ”
"Healed in two months?" Yu Linglong said with a happy face: "My strength ......"
"No problem!" Yun Lan said succinctly.
Yu Linglong was overjoyed and thanked him.
"That's it! Nothing else, hurry again. ”
The Phantom Rain Sect lost the Immortal Beast, even if the elder is a big mistake, calm, he should only send one or two disciples to follow at most, and if he is sent away, he will not reveal his whereabouts. Lin Dong commanded, "Qiao Tianhao, you are responsible for carrying the Beast of Escape. ”
"Shopkeeper ......" Qiao Tianhao said with an ugly face: "You won't want me to carry this Boundless Beast and run behind the carriage, right?" ”
"Nonsense!" Lin Dong shouted: "Is it possible, I want you to carry the Beast and sit in the carriage?" Moreover, instead of running after the carriage, we followed from both sides of the official road, so that no one would find out our route and destination through passers-by. ”
Qiao Tianhao was silent, looking at the Infinite Beast lying on the ground that was still two or three meters tall, and was a little depressed.
Thousands of eight hundred pounds, with Qiao Tianhao's strength, it is not difficult to lift it and run wildly. But the spiritual power is not endless, and it is inevitable to work hard to carry it. Moreover, they all sat in the carriage, and they were the only ones to do coolies, which was really a bit of a loss of face.
"Cheng Bao, you take over in two hours, Jade Peony, you are the third." Lin Dong glanced at the other three chefs who were missing arms and legs, and quickly dispelled the idea of letting them join the ranks of the porters, and continued: "The three of you take turns to alternate. ”
"That's okay!" Two of them were dragged into the water, Qiao Tianhao didn't complain anymore, and shouted at Cheng Bao, who had always been a little unpleasant: "You move first, I'll be the second." ”
Cheng Bao didn't bother to care about such a trivial matter, strode to the side of the Boundless Beast, grabbed its fur, took a deep breath, and suddenly lifted its huge body. Then, he flew towards the grassland on one side.
"Let's go!" Lin Dong waved his hand.
Jade Peony hurriedly helped Yu Linglong and walked towards the first carriage.
When Yu Peony lifted the curtain of the carriage that could barely squeeze her body in, Yu Linglong suddenly looked at Lin Dong, who was walking towards the second carriage, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Shopkeeper, don't you ask me about Sanssouci Cave?" ”
"You're willing to tell me now?" Lin Dong asked with a smile.
Yu Linglong was stunned, and she didn't understand what Lin Dong meant. She would ask such a question because she was too strange about Lin Dong's attitude. No matter what, the Sanssouci Cave can be valued by the Phantom Rain Sect, and at least there are some ownerless high-level spiritual skills in it. For the sect, others may not be valuable, but the ownerless spiritual skills are extremely valuable. If the shopkeeper Lin, who suddenly became her master, didn't have any other thoughts after hearing it, she wouldn't believe anything.
Lin Dong said with a smile: "As long as the elders of the Phantom Rain Sect hand over the address of the Sanssouci Cave, they undoubtedly understand that you have not benefited from the Sanssouci Cave, and there should be a spirit array arranged in it, right?" ”
Yu Linglong nodded slowly.
"Since you can't get in, you naturally have to find someone to help, and the candidate is estimated to be no one else except me." Lin Dong said leisurely: "Besides, the Phantom Rain Sect just sent an elder to hunt you down, and there shouldn't be anything too valuable in this Sanssono Cave." At most, there are only some rare treasures and spiritual skills, which are not very attractive to me. ”
"The shopkeeper is not from a big sect?" Yu Linglong was stunned.
Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Do you think that I opened an inn because I was tired of the life of the sect, and when I came out to play, I had to go back sooner or later, right?" ”
Yu Linglong nodded slowly.
"I have no sect and no door, and besides, opening an inn is my main business." Lin Dong said slowly.
Yu Linglong's heart is very safe, and there is no sect and no door, which means that even if there are high-level spiritual skills in the Sanssouci Cave, it will not be swallowed alone in order to prevent leakage. After hesitating for a moment, he resolutely spoke: "The Phantom Rain Sect only sent an elder to hunt me down, if I guessed correctly, I should be too cautious, worried about being detected by other sects." There are no escape beasts, and my strength is only three times in the heart period, so I will do this. ”
"You mean, the collection in this Sanssouci Cave is of extraordinary value?" Lin Dong was surprised.
Yu Linglong nodded heavily: "With my speed, it is not difficult to dodge enemies that are two or three orders higher, but whether it is the elder sent by the Phantom Rain Sect this time or the Immortal Beast, it is far higher than my strength." I was able to escape from their pursuit again and again, all because they were bogeyed with rats, and no one dared to stop me from leaving as long as they threatened to kill myself. If the value of the Sanssouci Cave is not high, three or five days is reasonable, but for several months, it is absolutely impossible to have this kind of patience. ”
Lin Dong was silent, this analysis does indirectly prove the preciousness of the Sanssouci Cave.
"So......" Yu Linglong looked at Lin Dong.
Lin Dong didn't hesitate, shook his head and said, "If it's a stop, it's worth going to Wenyan Mountain if you waste a day or two." However, Wen Yanshan is in the south of Lingnan County, and there is a lot of distance from Lingnan City...... I'll go back when I have time. ”
"Take the time to go again?" Yu Linglong was surprised: "The shopkeeper has something important to go to Lingnan City?" ”
"The inn marches to Lingnan City!" Lin Dong explained: "When I arrived at Lingnan City, the inn should have been built, and it could be opened after a period of preparation. If you go to Wenyanshan now, you will have to open half a month later. ”
Yu Linglong was stunned, on the one hand, the inn opened half a month earlier, and on the other hand, it was to get the treasures in the Sanssouci Cave early, if you choose one of the two, how could you choose the first?
"As I said, inns are my main business. As for the Sanssouci Cave, I can't run away there anyway, and it doesn't hurt to go again, I'm not in a hurry to pick up a cheap one, you have the address of Sanssouci Cave in your hand, what's the hurry? Lin Dong smiled and walked quickly to the carriage behind.
Yu Linglong was helpless, so she had to get into the slightly crowded carriage in her eyes.
The carriage, driven by the whip, rolled over the gravel and hit the road again. On the grassland hundreds of meters away, Cheng Leopard carried the Beast and followed quickly.
As Lin Dong expected, it was only about an hour before Yun Lan noticed that someone was following him.
Lin Dong immediately got out of the car and knocked out the two disciples of the Phantom Rain Sect who were following, and then returned to the carriage, Wu Guang, who was in charge of driving, didn't even know that Lin Dong had left.
The road was calm, and after thirteen days, the curtain was lifted, and the city gate could already be seen in the distance.
Lingnan City, it's here!
The mottled walls under the strong winds, the bronze gates, the dark whistles and arrow battlements everywhere...... Everything is showing the world the grandeur and inviolability of this thousand-year-old city.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, let Cheng Bao get out of the car and inform Qiao Tianhao to find a way to find a weak position to climb over the wall and enter the city at night, Lin Dong waved his hand, and the carriage slowly followed the crowd into the city gate that was four or five meters high.
"Shopkeeper, where are we going?" Liu Hua's voice sounded in front of him.
Lin Dong said without thinking: "Jinyi Street! ”
"Huh!" Liu Hua nodded, asked a passer-by, and turned left when he entered the city.
In just half an hour, the two carriages arrived at the door of the Lam Kee Inn on Jinyi Street, which had not yet opened.
More than 20 new door panels with a faint rosin fragrance are lined up, with a majestic signboard with gold characters on a blue background, and a pair of flaming red lanterns on the left and right of the door...... The first impression of the future main store of Lin Kee Inn is that the door building is high and the momentum is extraordinary.
Liu Hua walked a few steps quickly, came to the closed door, and slapped it vigorously.
In a moment, a door panel was slowly removed, and a head poked out.
"Liu Hua?" The owner of the head was in his early twenties, and when he saw Liu Hua, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Brother Fang!" Liu Hua hurriedly shouted, this person he knew, a member of the Lin Ji Inn guards.
The escort team, in the eyes of the guys at the Lin Ji Inn, is a mysterious existence. In addition, the captain of the escort team, Wang Liumo, even Ma Chun had to call the sixth brother respectfully, so every time they met, they were somewhat in awe.
"The shopkeeper is here?" Fang Hua probed around Liu Hua, and after seeing Lin Dong and Yun Lan outside, he hurriedly stood up straight.
"Hmmm! Is the inn built? Lin Dong asked with a smile.
"It's done!" Fang Hua took off the two door panels next to him, and was about to turn sideways to let Lin Dong in, when he saw Yu Linglong, who followed the jade peony down, he couldn't help but take down the two more door panels.
Entering the lobby and seeing that it was empty, Lin Dong asked, "Where are the little six?" ”
"The two inns have been built, and the decoration is because I am worried that people will see the clues when I go in and out, and the tables, stools, calligraphy and paintings have not been hung up, but it will not take much time, when will they open, and they can be done in the evening for an hour or two." Fang Hua looked at Lin Dong carefully and explained, "After cleaning up all the gangsters in Lingnan City a few days ago, the sixth brother saw that everyone was not in the mood to cultivate, so two of them were left in an inn, and the others were all happy. ”
Accustomed to the cultivation bonus, the speed of cultivation is only one-sixth of what it used to be, and the members of the escort team have no deep hatred to revenge, and it is normal for people to cultivate unintentionally. Lin Dong smiled, patted Fang Hua's shoulder, and said, "Go and inform Xiao Liu to come over, and ask him to come to the backyard to find me at about the end of the night." The others told me that cultivation could already be done as before, and if you didn't have enough fun, it didn't hurt to come back a few days later. ”
Fang Hua nodded hurriedly, and just wanted to turn around, his steps froze: "Shopkeeper, do you want to take you into the backyard first?" ”
"I don't need to, I'll just do it myself." Lin Dong waved his hand.
Fang Hua nodded and trotted out of the gate.
Put down the door panel, leaving Wu Guang in the lobby to guard the door, Lin Dong came to the counter, just sat down, the system prompt sounded: Please choose whether to set the inn as a branch.
After Lin Dong silently recited a yes, he took the lead and walked towards the back door.
Lingnan City covers an extremely large area, but the population is also as high as one million, so the land in the city is in short supply, and it is almost impossible to buy a large piece of land in one go without being a big wrongdoer. After buying the land, Wang Liumo had already sent someone to bring the letter back to Autumn Wind City, and Lin Dong also had a general understanding.
The two inns, because the city is a gathering place for large households, there are many shops on the side of the street that are extremely hot, although the price is 50% higher than the market price, it is still only a piece of land about six acres. And the east of the city, because it is located at the gate of the city, covers an area of only slightly more, which is also less than seven acres.
Deducting Lin Dong's hard surname requirement for the land occupied in the backyard, whether it is in the city or in the north of the city, although these two pieces of land are larger than the Lin Ji Inn in Autumn Wind City, they are still not enough to support the large-scale expansion of accommodation buildings and lobbies.
Therefore, both inns are mainly based on extra floors.
The lobby and accommodation building are all four-storey. In terms of lobby, the capacity of the first floor is slightly larger than that of the lobby of the Autumn Wind City Lin Ji Inn, which can accommodate 35 tables without being crowded. The number of rooms on the first floor of the accommodation building has also been increased to 30.
Lin Dong was thinking about what things needed to be arranged later, and unconsciously came to the junction of the front yard and the back yard, seeing that he showed no signs of stopping, Yu Peony asked: "Shopkeeper, I will take my sister to the room to rest first?" ”
"Okay, you can choose the room yourself, there shouldn't be anything for you during this time......" Lin Dong wanted to explain that Jade Peony can cultivate wholeheartedly, but he hesitated for a moment and changed his mind: "After Cheng Bao and Qiao Tianhao come back, tell Cheng Bao to let him take the time to study whether he can come up with a new recipe in addition to cultivation, in terms of chili peppers, if Tianfeng peppers are not sent over, use ordinary chili peppers first, and Qiao Tianhao is responsible for debugging the color and fragrance." As for you ......"
"Yu Linglong, are you sure you are willing to join us as a chef at Lin Ji Inn?" Lin Dong asked.
Yu Linglong didn't understand why Lin Dong asked more, but nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Lin Dong immediately opened Yu Linglong's surname and glanced at it, the level was one level higher than Cheng Bao, and the initial surname was all above eighty, and he was undoubtedly the best cook. It's a pity that in terms of creativity, he is only eighty-three, which is a few points lower than Jiang Kui and Qiao Tianhao.
Let Yu Linglong research new pastry pasta, although the creativity also meets the requirements of the best chef, but the effect is definitely not too good, at the very least, it is impossible to develop a recipe worthy of praise in the short term.
"I want to think about ......"
Lin Dong knocked on his head, it doesn't matter if Yu Linglong can't study it, there should be some in his head, if he remembers the materials, with Yu Linglong's ability, it is definitely not difficult to debug it.
Pastry pasta ...... Lin Dong racked his brains to recall the pastries and pasta that this world did not have, wife cakes, fried noodles, bread, cakes, mille-feuille cakes...... Seeing Yu Linglong and the two staring at him, Lin Dong had a headache, he would only eat these things, and for a while, how could he figure out how to make them.
"We'll talk about it later! I'll talk to you tomorrow. Helpless, Lin Dong was a little uncomfortable being stared at by the two, so he could only give up.
The two sisters nodded, Yu Linglong smiled charmingly, and while Yun Lan didn't pay attention, she threw a flattering look at Lin Dong: "Shopkeeper, if you can't think of it, don't force it, it's a big deal...... We'll only need half the salary. ”
Lin Dong looked stupid, as if he was not used to paying wages for nothing, so he had to find something to do for them.
"Sister, let's pick a room." Yu Linglong took Yu Linglong's arm, which was a little thicker than her thigh, and walked towards a row of houses in the front yard. The three cooks followed.
Lin Dong scratched his head, put the matter aside for the time being, and entered the backyard with Yun Lan.
After helping Yun Lan turn on the cultivation bonus in the room, Lin Dong continued to think about the preparations for the opening of the inn while coming to the room where the utility room was located alone.
Opening the door, just like the other inns, Lin Dong smoothly entered the secret passage and came to the stone room below.
After setting the door in the stone room as the transportation door, Lin Dong opened the door, and on the other side, it was the stone room under the utility room of the Lin Ji Inn in Autumn Wind City.
After entering the utility room from the stone room, observing the outside, and making sure that it was empty, Lin Dong left the room.
After finding a disciple of the Gu Huan Sect to call Ma Chun, Lin Dong sat down at the stone table and waited quietly.
Not long after, Ma Chun trotted in.
Came to sit down opposite Lin Dong, took a few breaths, and Ma Chun asked, "Shopkeeper, have you arrived in Lingnan City?" ”
Lin Dong nodded: "How is it?" The inn has been in the hotel for a month, is there nothing going on? ”
"It's not a big deal, but the prefect has come once, and he will go back after knowing that the shopkeeper went to Lingnan City to open a branch. Moreover, the pricing of our specialties has come out, and they are basically the original prices. Ma Chun explained: "In terms of branches, the profit of Nine Tiger City Lin Ji Inn last month has exceeded 1,000 taels, which is equivalent to two monthly profits of more than 3,000 taels, and the monthly profit of more than 1,000 taels has increased to five. ”
"Not bad!" Lin Dong nodded, the development of the branch was not much different from expectations.
After thinking for a moment and making sure that there was no problem, Lin Dong stood up and said, "When the night closes, go to Lingnan City to find me, the room is still the first in the east, let's discuss the opening of the inn." Again, the matter that should be arranged for Liu An should also be arranged as soon as possible, and after the discussion is completed, he will have to be stationed in Lingnan City for the next few days. ”
Ma Chun nodded, got up and sent Lin Dong to the utility room, and suddenly remembered something halfway, and couldn't help but pat his head heavily.
"Look at my last name, I almost forgot. The shopkeeper, the head of the Xingli Sect came to the inn in North Germany for more than half a month, saying that he had something to discuss with the shopkeeper. ”
"You Beide, do you have something to discuss with me?" Lin Dong frowned, and warned himself to stay away from You Qinxiang?
It's been four or five months, and I haven't been to Xingli Sect at all. And has already helped You Qinxiang untie the knot, You Qinxiang should have already explained it to You Beide.
It's not like that, I don't even have the qualifications to be friends with You Qinxiang, right?
Unless Xingli Sect and Gu Huan Sect turn their faces, otherwise, no matter how snobbish You Beide is, it will not be like this.
Seeing Ma Chun nodding, Lin Dong asked, "Did you say anything about me?" ”
Ma Chun shook his head: "I don't want to say it, I just say that there is something important to discuss with the shopkeeper." ”
"Returning to the Rite Sect?" Lin Dong asked.
"Not yet, I've been living in the inn." Ma Chun said with a smile: "It's a bit of a posture of not seeing the shopkeeper and vowing not to give up, do you want to see it first?" ”
"Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Lin Dong shook his head, the big thing in You Beide's eyes is just for himself, but it is not necessarily a big deal. At this time, it is the biggest thing to carefully consider whether there are any loopholes in the preparation of the inn.
