    Chapter 540: Soliciting outside the city

    As the autumn wind fades and winter begins, fifteen top restaurants finally officially launch their third collaboration.

    Outside Yanxun Restaurant, guests came like clouds, and the endless stream of diners made Yang Chengan smile from ear to ear.  He bowed his hands ten times a hundred times, and he could still maintain his perfect movements and his unchanging friendly smile.

    For the third cooperation with fifteen top restaurants, the first stop for publicity was Yanxun Restaurant.

    Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, the Yanxun Restaurant at this moment is a treasure house.  King Yicheng's collection, Master Shangshu's treasure, Qin Honghou's family heirloom The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, the vases placed in the corner, each one is priceless, each one,  All have great origins.

    From the first floor to the third floor, the value of Yanxun Restaurant, which was originally luxuriously decorated, will be hundreds and thousands of times higher after the appearance of these antique calligraphy and paintings.  Just pick up an inconspicuous thing, its value is more than ten thousand taels, and some of them are even rare treasures worth more than one hundred thousand taels.

    These things were lent by fifteen top restaurants in order to create a sensation.  Maybe not everyone likes antiques, calligraphy and paintings, or knows how to appreciate rare treasures, but as long as they are properly publicized, it can be enough to make the wealthy people in the capital think that they have status if they don't take a look.

    On the first day after its launch, the business of Yanxun Restaurant was completely within the expectations of the top restaurant owners.  Its popularity, over the past century, is second only to the few days before Lin Kee Inn launched the Lingshi Fan four or five months ago.

    It is no exaggeration to say that the business of Yanxun Restaurant is booming.  At noon, there was even a queue of people waiting in line just like when Lin Kee Inn launched the Lingshi Fan and VIP Card.

    In order to borrow these rare treasures, the top restaurants spent a lot of money and favors. This was just the promotion of one restaurant, and the other fourteen also spent a lot of money.

    This situation seems to have a huge impact on Lin Ji Inn, but in Lin Dong's eyes, it is a good thing.  All the top restaurants have joined forces. He is not worried about anything else. He is worried that these restaurants will boil frogs in lukewarm water and slowly compete with Lin Ji Inn.

    Although Lin Ji Inn¡¯s cooking skills will become stronger and stronger as time goes by, no matter how strong it is, it will not be able to form an overwhelming advantage over the top restaurants in five or six years.  It dragged on slowly, but failed to achieve anything. It wanted to slowly develop regular customers. The strength of the top restaurants was there. With a few tricks, Linji Inn would have to struggle to deal with it.

    "Forcing the top restaurants to use big tricks and spend a lot of money, although the difficulty of confrontation is not small, Linji Inn is not unable to cope with it.  As long as they can cope with it, if major top restaurants still want to launch big measures, they will have to discuss and prepare for it for at least a month or two, just like this promotion.  These past two months are the free time for Linji Inn to cultivate regular customers.  The more violent the method, the more free time there will be.

    Regarding the suppression of major top restaurants this time, Lin Dong has no intention of backing down like the previous two times.  The two retreats before were, firstly, because they were not very powerful and Lin Kee Inn would not lose much no matter how much they retreated. Secondly, they were to lure major top restaurants into taking the bait and make them look down on Lin Kee Inn, thereby using expensive means.  .

    Now that the goal has been achieved, if we continue to retreat, when the fifteen top restaurants have been visited one by one, there will probably be only a few diners in Linji Inn.

    Of course, Lin Dong did not plan to fight back immediately.  If you counterattack too early, the price paid by the top restaurants is not too high. If you stop in time, the losses will be acceptable.  What's more important is that it's not the time yet, it's just winter.

    At the city gate in the north of the city, the cold wind was blowing. Lin Dong, Ma Chun and a few waiters sat against the city wall, attracting strange looks from pedestrians coming in and out.

    Lin Dong didn¡¯t notice these glances at all.  At this moment, he had just swallowed the auxiliary cultivation elixir he had exchanged from Tianfeng Street and was working hard to refine it.

    Ma Chun and a group of waiters looked towards the official road one by one, but after half an hour, they didn't see any movement. They just looked at it as if they were sightseeing and looking at the scenery.

    In the opening of the city gate, the city guard general Wang Chengyi and the city guards in the north of the city were also feeling a little uneasy.  The reason was naturally because of the northwest wind blowing on the side of the door, Lin Dong and others.

    Wang Chengyi and the city guards did not know Lin Dong, but they had all met Ma Chun, the manager of Lin Ji Inn!

    When Lin Dong and the others first arrived, Wang Chengyi was still drinking tea in the room.  Shiroemon served tea and water, and learned that the shopkeeper of Linji Inn was also there. They were completely confused at that time.  Someone was sent to trot over to inform Wang Chengyi. Even Wang Chengyi was a little dumbfounded.  The shopkeeper of Linji Inn is really just a businessman. Wang Chengyi is a general with a fourth-grade official rank. Although the rich and powerful people in the capital have friends no worse than him, he really wants to meet him.If there is any conflict, the rich people have to give him three points of courtesy.  After all, Wang Chengyi is not alone, he also knows powerful people.

    But in front of the shopkeeper of Linji Inn, he had to be dumbfounded.  According to the size of Linji Inn, shopkeeper Lin, who could be considered one of the richest men in the capital, not only had a lot of money, but also had a relationship with King Qingliu.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of the gate, all the dignitaries and dignitaries will have no choice but to lie down.

    Wang Chengyi was very grand, so he took it for granted that Lin Dong was also very grand. Seeing that he was polite when serving tea and water, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.  If shopkeeper Lin is angry because of the poor greeting, he goes to King Qingliu and murmurs a few words. Although the fourth-grade official is not low, when he is placed in the city, even the prefect has to respectfully call "sir", but in front of King Qingliu, but  He is a character who can make people¡¯s heads fall to the ground just by saying it.

    Wang Chengyi had to be careful not to be afraid of ten thousand, but to be afraid of the worst. Seeing that no one appreciated it, he only said that he was going out of the city to solicit customers, so he had to follow a group of city guards to drink the northwest wind at the city gate.

    ¡°A convoy is coming!¡± Suddenly, a guy shouted.

    The rapidly surging spiritual power in Lin Dong's meridians then retreated into his dantian. When he opened his eyes, he saw a long line of flatbed carriages slowly approaching on the official road carrying large wooden boxes.  Looking around, there were more than a hundred vehicles in the long queue.

    The wooden boxes behind each carriage are piled high. Lin Dong made a rough estimate and there must be no less than a thousand cubic meters of goods.  If you rent a yard for storage, you have to choose the largest one, otherwise you won¡¯t be able to fit it in.

    If it can be negotiated, this first business deal will definitely be a good start.

    Lin Dong and Ma Chun stood up together and faced the carriage, and the guys followed closely.

    "Stop! Who is it?"

    Seeing someone approaching, the guard of the convoy immediately shouted.

    "I am the manager of Linji Inn, and this is my shopkeeper. Please forgive me for my rudeness!" Ma Chun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the city gate is right in front. We don't have any ill intentions, we just want to ask.  Do you want accommodation?"

    "No need!" The guard captain, who was in his early forties, waved his hand immediately after hearing this. Along the way, they rented private courtyards and never stayed in an inn.

    "Looking at you all, you must have traveled a long way, right? After finally arriving in the capital safely, of course you have to have a good rest." Ma Chun naturally would not give up because of the guard captain's words, and immediately said with a smile: "  Our Linji Inn is the largest inn in the capital. I can guarantee that it is the best in the capital and even in the country in terms of accommodation. Our staff are all enthusiastic, and our cooks can compete with the top restaurants in the capital. In this regard, you guys  You can prove it by asking anyone after entering the city."

    "In addition, our Linji Inn also has many warehouses, which can completely guarantee the safety of your goods. When the time comes, you only need to send one or two guards to guard the door. Brother, you have worked hard all the way, and it is time to reward you for your hard work.  "

    The captain of the guard suddenly hesitated. Whether it was from his personal perspective or from the perspective of the entire guard team, every word Ma Chun said hit his weak spot.  They came from a remote county and slept in the open air all the way. It took them more than half a year to arrive in the capital after setting off in early spring.  After finally completing the task, it really should be easy and relaxing.  What's more, if it is really as good as the other party says, I believe the boss will not object.  They are all martial arts practitioners and it is hard to resist finding a good place to stay, let alone a boss who is used to enjoying a good life.

    "Wait a minute, I'll ask."

    The guard captain did not hesitate for too long, and immediately turned around and headed straight for a carriage in the center of the convoy.

    Not long after, a thin, dark, middle-aged man in brocade clothes followed the guard captain over.

    "You run an inn?" The middle-aged man glanced at everyone, his eyes resting on the face of Lin Dong, who was the best dressed.

    "I am Ma Chun, the steward of Linji Inn." Ma Chun could tell at a glance from the middle-aged man's attitude and clothes that he was the owner of these goods, and immediately said with a smile: "We"

    "I didn't let you speak." The middle-aged man is one of the richest people in the county. Although he knows that the capital is at the foot of the emperor, and any passerby has some background, he has not yet paid attention to an inn, and immediately said to Lin  Dong felt dissatisfied.

    A manager is not equal to his status at all. Even if he is a shopkeeper, he is not qualified to speak equally unless he meets someone.

    When running an inn, it is common to encounter guests with bad tempers. Even Lin Dong, who is not very responsible for things, often encounters them, so he didn't pay much attention to them. He immediately said: "I am Lin Dong, the manager of Lin Ji Inn. No.  Do you know what the boss is called?"

    "My surname is Yang, tell me why you let me stay at your inn!" the middle-aged man said coldly."Our Linji Inn is the largest inn in Beijing" Lin Dong's eloquence is not as good as Ma Chun's, but this does not prevent him from repeating Ma Chun's previous introduction.

    When Lin Dong finished speaking, the middle-aged man did not ask about the price. He nodded and waved: "Brother Liu, let the team move on."

    The guard captain was overjoyed and immediately ordered the guards to direct the driver to continue moving forward.

    "You guys lead the way!" The middle-aged man waved to Lin Dong. Although he was not satisfied with Lin Dong's attitude of letting a steward come out to socialize, Lin Dong's introduction did make his heart move.  As the guard captain expected, he would rather find a place with better accommodation and relax.  Along the way, he had had enough of sleeping in the open air and staying in private houses.

    "please!"

    Lin Dong originally wanted a waiter to lead the way, but from time to time, customers had needs, so he naturally had to comply.

    The middle-aged man adjusted his silk and satin gown and saw that the city gate was not far away. He touched the weight of the money bag at his waist and did not return to the carriage. He followed Lin Dong and others and strode towards the city gate.
