Chapter 282 The Inn Makes Money, Naturally
Since the boss has set the goal.
Li Changxiao analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Laiqu Inn with a serious face.
Finally, a conclusion is given.
It may not be that easy to improve this performance.
First of all, the remote location means that there are few visitors, so it is difficult to make a lot of money.
Not even...the two of them made a lot of money by soliciting customers in that restaurant.
After Li Changxiao finished speaking seriously, Mei Sanniang secretly kicked him a few times with an anxious look on her face.
However, it was too late. The cook asked, "What do you mean by soliciting customers? Have you ever solicited customers?"
Mei Sanniang laughed it off and managed to get away with it.
The three continued to discuss countermeasures.
Mei Sanniang proposed: raise the price!
The reason why I had this idea was because of the restaurant where I washed dishes before. They charged several times more than me for the same ingredients.
Why?
If they can charge so much, why can't I?
Li Changxiao shook his head, thinking it was inappropriate. That restaurant was a high-end consumption restaurant and there were many rich people in the city, so it was able to flourish.
Blindly raising prices in this remote area will only have a counterproductive effect.
after that.
Several proposals were put forward one after another.
Still no results.
The meal was already finished, and the staff meeting came to an end.
Morale suffered a major blow.
There isn't much else about Laiqu Inn, except for the many rooms.
Most of the rooms start from the second floor, but considering that the two children are timid, they were arranged in the rooms on the first floor.
The first floor is employee housing and is also their frequent activity space.
The first floor was full for the first time in a long time.
I slept very soundly that night.
Snowy night.
Sleeping with a lamp on.
When Mei Sanniang got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, she saw that the fire in the fireplace was not burning strongly enough, so she added some firewood herself.
A night passes and a new day comes.
This day we finally returned to normal work. After more than half a month of going to and from the inn, and after going through the trouble of buying vegetables and chopping firewood, we finally started business.
The proprietress sat at the counter facing the door, supporting her chin with one hand and twisting a jade-like dry pipe with the other, puffing out white smoke with every puff.
She seemed to be wrapped in a cloud.
Hazy and charming.
The cook was resting in the kitchen, while Li Changxiao was doing some odd jobs. They were not tedious, just wiping the table and sweeping the floor.
Not to mention, although Lai Qu Inn doesn’t make much money, its hardware is absolutely top-notch.
The wood used in the building is all top-grade wood for cultivating immortals, and is also wood that is less affected by the depletion of spiritual energy. Therefore, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, the inn is still as good as new.
I wiped the table until it looked as bright as new and swept away the dust on the floor. Before I sat down for long, a customer arrived.
He was a burly man, and as expected, he was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
Thanks to the reform, many Nascent Soul cultivators have not shown signs of aging. Of course, some powerful Nascent Soul cultivators have enough blessings and opportunities before their spiritual energy is exhausted, so they can live a long life.
Let’s talk about what happens after the spiritual energy is exhausted.
There are still longevity pollen, white jade fruit, longevity flowers... and other things that can still bring a lot of longevity, but if you take the same kind of fruit continuously, the effect will fade little by little, and eventually become completely ineffective.
"Madam boss, as usual, give me three pounds of raw meat!" The sturdy man waved his hand and sat there, attracting a lot of attention.
"What are you looking at? Go quickly."
Mei Sanniang rolled her eyes at the smelly man in white clothes who was lying on the chair and drinking wine leisurely.
"Raw meat?" Li Changxiao muttered, went to the kitchen and got three pounds of raw meat, put it on a plate, and brought it up.
The sturdy man joked, "Madam, I haven't seen you for forty years, and you're still the same."
As he said this, he took the plate of raw meat from Li Changxiao.
He placed his hand on the meat, fingers spread wide.
Several milky white worms actually emerged from the fingernails.
They burrow into raw meat.
The raw meat began to rot and stink little by little.
"Can you speak?" Mei Sanniang said righteously, "This is called femininity."
"That's right." The sturdy man nodded.
He took back the milky white worms.
On the other hand, the three pounds of raw meat had already become smelly and useless. Li Changxiao picked up the plate and took it outside to throw it away. The rotten meat had completely softened, and the moment it fell to the ground, it became like yellow mud and stuck to the ground. The stench was spreading.
Li Changxiao felt that something was wrong, so he went back to the inn, found a broom, swept the rotten meat to a big tree on the side, dug a hole to bury the rotten meat to cover up the stench, and also recycle the waste as fertilizer.
He had heard of the existence of "Natural Dao - Gu Shi" a long time ago, but this was the first time he saw it.
The so-called natural Taoist Gu practitioners believe that "decline" is a kind of natural energy, and only nature can fight against nature.
For a long time, it is said that the Gu worm is the essence of heaven and earth. They cultivate the Gu worm, drill into the body to absorb the "decay" energy, and then release it outside the body.
In this way, you can achieve longevity.
A very wonderful way to prolong life.
It seems to be somewhat similar to the insect parasite master of Tongqiao Dao, but the two are not the same. After all, in principle, the two are not from the same sect, and the threshold for becoming a "gu practitioner" is much higher than that of a "insect parasite master".
Feeding and raising the Gu worms is extremely difficult.
"Madam, is this the new guy? I don't think I've seen him before?" The sturdy man looked at Li Changxiao curiously.
Although he does not come to every Ten Thousand Immortals Summit, he is still considered a regular customer.
"No." Mei Sanniang joked, "I detained a stinky guy who stole wine. I won't let him go until he has done it for a hundred or eighty years."
"Hahaha." The sturdy man laughed and said, "That's good. One more person means more popularity, right?"
Mei Sanniang raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "How is it, is he handsome?"
"Handsome." The strong man nodded.
After saying that, the sturdy man took out a piece of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table.
I went out in the not-so-heavy snowstorm.
Another traveler.
Over the years, there has never been a shortage of travelers coming and going from the inn.
The footprints on the snow were quickly covered by the wind and snow.
There was a scale on the counter, and Li Changxiao took it and weighed the silver coins.
It's about half an ounce.
The profit is only equivalent to one hundred copper coins.
Not too high.
Li Changxiao threw the change into the piggy bank on the counter.
Listen to the sound of small coins colliding inside.
Mei Sanniang was in a trance for a moment.
It’s been a while since I put money in this piggy bank…
Although Mei Sanniang has always boasted that she is good at managing the household and can calculate all the expenses and expenditures clearly.
嗏
After the second in command left, she realized that although that guy was often lazy, he did do a lot of practical work.
It’s not that she can’t earn money by going to the inn, but the piggy bank doesn’t seem to have much meaning anymore, and she is too lazy to throw money into it.
Mei Sanniang looked at the silver coin in the piggy bank.
Suddenly a smile appeared.
There was none of her usual charm, just a very ordinary smile.
"If there's no more income, I'm planning to close the shop." Mei Sanniang said jokingly.
She looked at the figure in white who was scratching his butt and trying to sleep, chuckled, and cursed, "You damn devil."
