I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 371: Enviable Love, Talking Business with Boss Liu

"It's really an enviable love."

Lin Yuan could feel that what Ah Hong said was true. On the contrary, Li Jun looked dull and did not know how to appreciate the blessings he had.

His eyes were very lethal. Li Jun felt it and said quickly, "Boss Lin, you are too kind."

Lin Yuan shook his head. "Love is a luxury. Many people spend their entire lives just looking for a suitable person of the opposite sex to live with. They have never experienced the sweetness of love, but have already turned the relationship into a family relationship. Lao Li, you should cherish the fact that you have someone who loves you. This is your lifelong luck."

Under normal circumstances, Li Jun would not have listened.

He was deeply corroded by the supernatural, and most of his ordinary emotions had disappeared long ago. The little bit he had left was his feelings for his country and his parents, but not much.

But it's different now.

When he was with the "store manager", all his normal emotions returned to him, and he always felt that what the "store manager" said made sense.

He glanced at Ah Hong, not knowing what was in his mind.

Seeing him like this, he didn't even take this opportunity to express his feelings and deepen his feelings. He was just like a piece of wood. Lin Yuan suddenly felt sorry for Ah Hong.

It is true, those who love are as humble as ants, while those who don’t love are fearless, and this is true for both men and women.

"Xiaohong, if this kid bullies you in the future, come to me and I will help you! Even though he is a police officer now, I also have a way." Lin Yuan made a promise.

Ah Hong laughed and said, "Okay, Boss Lin, but I believe Brother Li won't bully me, Boss Lin, don't worry."

What a good girl!

pity……

Lin Yuan glared at Li Jun, and this one look revealed a lot of information, making Li Jun want to cry but without tears.

"Brother, I really didn't mean to bully Ah Hong!"

Soon they arrived at the Liu family's small hotel. A middle-aged man was standing at the door with a strange smile on his face.

That smile didn't seem to be the smile of a living person, but rather it looked like it was painted on.

It's just like……

It's like the paper figures in a paper-making shop, but it looks a little more real.

"Tsk tsk, it turns out that running a hotel is still very profitable. Even machines can be used to open the hotel for business."

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, the middle-aged man turned into a robot wearing middle-aged man's clothes. His head was a metal face, and the smile on his mouth was outlined, perfect and weird.

"Okay, it's getting late, I won't bother you two anymore. As I said before, if you dare to bully Xiao Hong, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Lin Yuan said this while waving his little fist.

Li Jun: "..."

After Lin Yuan left, Li Jun said helplessly: "Let's go, it's time for us to turn around."

Ah Hong was holding his hand, which she had held when Lin Yuan was here before. Now she had no intention of letting go and whispered, "But if Boss Lin hasn't left yet and isn't waiting at the memorial archway, how can we leave?"

"He shouldn't be so bored, right?" Li Jun asked doubtfully.

Ah Hong shook her head. "Captain Li, you don't know that the store manager has an ordinary personality now. The reason why he insisted on us staying in a small hotel is that he wanted to bring us together, but he also wanted to help Tong Qian get rid of you, a 'scumbag'. Captain Li, don't look at me like that. This is how you are in the store manager's mind. Ever since the Dahai City Ghost Tomb incident, don't you know?"

Li Jun opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

Ah Hong continued, "Just now the store manager said that if you bully me, you should help me deal with you. Then, you didn't tell me about provoking Tong Qian. Does that also count as bullying me? The store manager is really thoughtful. If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely be liked by many girls."

"Okay, just stay in the hotel. Just stay for two hours, take a rest and then leave." Li Jun interrupted Ah Hong.

Actually, Ah Hong doesn’t need to say much.

Li Jun now discovered that his feelings had not been lost, which meant that the "store manager" was nearby and he was not stupid.

Lin Yuan was indeed nearby. He was completely relieved after seeing Li Jun and Ah Hong walk into the small hotel. "I have to tell Xiao Tong when I get back, so that she won't really get involved."

But he didn't know that Li Jun and Ah Hong fell into deep thought when faced with the three yuan room fee: Has the standard of Peace Hotel spread to Taiping Ancient Town?

When Lin Yuan returned to the store, it was the last bus of the day.

Meng Xiaodong got off the car carrying a basket of vegetables and happened to meet Lin Yuan. She looked him up and down and asked, "Boss Lin went to Taiping Town?"

"You can tell from this? Or did Granny Meng go there too?" Lin Yuan was a little surprised. "But Granny Meng, you look younger and younger now. You've taken good care of yourself."

Going to Taiping Town and being discovered was not a big deal, so Lin Yuan didn't care much about it. He asked a question and then changed the subject.

Meng Xiaodong touched his cheek. He still looked very old, but the wrinkles were indeed less. "This is all thanks to Boss Lin. I felt very comfortable staying in the Peace Hotel. Naturally, I felt younger."

"So that's how it is. As long as Granny Meng is happy, that's all that matters."

After chatting for a while, Lin Yuan was just about to go to the haunted bus to talk to Mr. Qin, but as soon as he turned his head, the haunted bus closed its door and rushed directly into the white fog.

Lin Yuan: "..."

Forget it.

Since Liu Qingqing didn't urge us to go to that strange place anymore, we should just wait for now and talk about it after we get some news.

Return to the store with Meng Xiaodong.

It was almost time to get off work. For this evening meal, there were usually few guests in the Peace Hotel. Apart from those who wanted to stay in the hotel that night, there were basically no other guests.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Yuan saw four people, who were also old acquaintances.

Liu San, Li Leping, Zhang Lei, and Wei Jing.

"Boss Lin, you are finally back. Please check us in. Manager He refused to let us stay and even said that this was your instruction. How could this be possible? Who would refuse to make money?"

Li Leping started complaining directly, and even the four animals hanging on his body couldn't stop him from talking.

Liu San, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling on the side, gave a thumbs up. Even Zhang Lei and Wei Jing cast admiring glances at him.

He dared to complain about a man in front of a woman, especially a lobby manager with some authority. Aren't you afraid that the other party will make trouble for you?
This is not an ordinary hotel, it pays attention to the staff's service to customers.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry, I was indeed the one who gave the order. The store is going to be renovated tonight, especially the e-sports room, so it will not be open to the public."

"So that's how it is. I thought there were occupancy restrictions." Li Leping was a little depressed.

I lost the game last night and was the first to exit. Although I gained a lot of points, I felt very unhappy.

He controlled four ghosts.

He is the strongest on paper among all the participants in the game. He has achieved high results, but his survival time is greatly shortened, which makes him want to prove his strength.

of course.

He did not behave like this at the headquarters. It was at the Peace Hotel, in front of the "store manager", that he behaved like this because of the return of the ordinary people's emotions that he had lost due to the erosion of the supernatural.

This is also easy to understand.

Once something that has been lost returns, there will always be an explosion. This is not only the case with Li Leping, but also with Liu San, Zhang Lei, Wei Jing, Cao Yang and others.

The lost feelings return, and they can find the same feeling as ordinary people today. This is one of the important reasons why these "rich people" are willing to continue to come to the Peace Hotel.

"Boss Lin, is there anything special about the decoration tonight? Will the number of e-sports rooms increase?" Wei Jing asked the most crucial question.

If the number of e-sports rooms increases, then they won't have to fight for it anymore, nor will they have to look at Zhou Deng's ugly face of "I'm a kryptonian". More people will be able to join in and play virtual games together, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

The others also looked over nervously, and it was obvious that they had the same idea.

Lin Yuan was also very happy. The e-sports room was so popular, which also represented the consumption power. The maximum number of people that could stay in the room every day was indeed a bit too few, which limited the income of the store.

Coupled with the advice he received in the morning, he made up his mind.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the e-sports room will be moved to a dedicated place, of course in the store, and it will have more professional equipment and a bigger and better space."

It's a bit like drawing a pie in the sky.

But Li Leping and the others were obviously serious. "Then we'll come over tomorrow. There might be a lot of people coming by then. Boss Lin, is that okay?"

"Okay, just come over when the time comes."

Lin Yuan already had his own ideas about the renovation of the e-sports room, otherwise he wouldn't have had nothing better to do than to go to Taiping Ancient Town.

He Liansheng had only been dead for one day, but his body had to be kept in the mourning hall for six days.

"By the way, I have invited a decoration team to come here tonight. I am planning to open a bank to exchange commemorative coins. However, I need some paper with better quality. Do you have any connections?"

Hearing this, the four people who were about to leave stopped and focused their attention on Liu San.

As everyone knows, Liu San is a paper man.

Liu San's heart skipped a beat, and he felt as if his skin was no longer safe, but this was obviously a good sign.

The relationship between him and the Peace Hotel now is simply a business relationship.

In comparison, Tong Qian and others who are employees of the Peace Hotel are still under the spiritual protection of the Peace Hotel.

As long as the degree of terror does not exceed the supernatural limit of the Peace Hotel, even if the body is completely wiped out, a part of consciousness will still remain.

This kind of supernatural protective consciousness is really attractive.

However, the Peace Hotel has rarely recruited new people. When Liu San came in, the structure of the Peace Hotel had basically been determined and there was no room for new people.

This made him envious. But now, it seems that the opportunity has come!

Thinking of this, Liu San smiled and said, "Boss Lin, are you planning to recruit people or look for partners?"

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Officer Liu, do you have any connections? It doesn't matter whether you are recruiting people or working as a partner. Anyway, these are all commemorative coins produced and will only be used for various consumption at the Peace Hotel. They will not be circulated in the market."

"So that's it."

Are they going to produce ghost money, relying on the Republic of China printer that was fished out from Ghost Lake before?

Liu San reached his hand into the zongzi and felt around for a while. After a while, he took out a piece of A4-sized...zongzi leaf. "Boss Lin, do you think this kind of paper... um, zongzi leaf is suitable?"

I want paper, you give me rice dumpling leaves?

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he still subconsciously took the zongzi leaf and fumbled with it. He could feel that this zongzi leaf was indeed special. He looked at the zongzi skin where Liu San was, and said, "I'll try. Xiao He, get out two bottles of ink."

He got a hint from the "Golden Finger" that the rice dumpling leaves could be used.

The ink is the product of the ghost blood cuttlefish that is strictly sold in the store.

It's just a supernatural derivative. At Lin Yuan's place, every five cans are sold for three ghost dollars, and it's one of the products with relatively good sales at present.

The money printing machine was placed on the third floor, which was Lin Yuan's room.

Lin Yuan didn't want such confidential information to be exposed, so he gave instructions and prepared to go upstairs. Liu Qingqing ran over enthusiastically, "Brother Yuan, let me help you."

As she spoke, she took the rice dumpling leaves and ink from Lin Yuan's hands, and as if she was afraid that Lin Yuan would refuse, she went upstairs first.

"This girl!"

Lin Yuan laughed, but didn't blame him, and followed him upstairs.

Wei Jing turned to He Yuelian and said, "It looks like you guys are planning to have another lady boss here?"

"It's not that simple. Brother Yuan has a very high level of self-control. The scene in front of us is obviously a girl chasing a boy, but it rarely has any results." He Yuelian said bluntly.

Wei Jing and the others looked at each other, then looked at Tong Qian, as if to say:

You're not chasing the "store manager" too, are you?

Tong Qian shook her head gently. She had no time to think about love. Unless the supernatural incidents were completely settled, maybe she would consider this aspect.

Go back upstairs.

Lin Yuan has already started fiddling with the money printing machine.

This money printing machine had been repaired by Lin Yuan who had paid a "golden finger". While Lin Yuan was fiddling with it, he would inadvertently open the cover of the money printing machine and look for a place to put paper and black water.

Liu Qingqing's eyes narrowed, "As expected, the so-called money printing machine is nothing more than a ghost that has been injected into the money printing machine, so it can work, and through some mechanism and materials, it can produce the so-called ghost money?"

In her sight.

There was a ghost curled up inside the money printing machine. It had a complete body and facial features. It should have been the size of a normal adult, but it was forcibly crammed into a space of less than one square meter. All parts of its body were squeezed together, looking twisted and weird.

But soon, the scene in front of her eyes disappeared.

What she saw now was no longer the strange interior of the money printing machine. Instead, it was a normal mechanical structure, as if what she had just seen was an illusion.

But Liu Qingqing knew very well that the scene before her was distorted by the "store manager's" cognition, and the truth was what she had just seen.

But this is normal. The essence of supernatural objects is just a bunch of evil spirits.

"That should be it, let's see how it works."

The money printing machine had a paper feed port, and it was exposed on the back. Lin Yuan quickly stuffed Liu San's rice dumpling leaves into it, and then found a hole at the top covered with a lid and poured two bottles of ink into it.

The originally quiet money printing machine made a slight vibration sound as if it was started.

A strong stench of corpse spread out from inside, but soon turned into the smell of ink. The change was so fast that Liu Qingqing almost thought there was something wrong with her sense of smell.

The printing press was running, but there was no movement.

Liu Qingqing asked in confusion: "Brother Yuan, hasn't the money printing machine been repaired? Why haven't the banknotes come out yet?"

“It’s not a banknote, it’s a commemorative coin.”

Lin Yuan corrected him, "I'm designing the commemorative coins for our Peace Hotel right now, please don't interrupt me."

It is illegal to print money privately. Lin Yuan would never do such a stupid thing, even if it is endorsed by the headquarters.

So he could only print commemorative coins.

And they don't say it has purchasing value, they just mention that it is similar to a consumption voucher and can only be exchanged for goods in the Peace Hotel.

This way nothing will go wrong, so everyone must speak with one voice on this matter. Lin Yuan doesn't want to send himself to jail.

"Oh, I know."

Liu Qingqing blinked in grievance. Seeing that Lin Yuan ignored her, she could only pout in boredom and stopped talking.

Lin Yuan was not lying, he was indeed designing the style of the new version of the ghost money commemorative coins.

But not in reality, but in contact with "Golden Finger" for design.

"The front side uses the Peace Hotel surrounded by white mist as the pattern. It's a little foggy, but it looks ethereal and otherworldly. The back side is..."

Lin Yuan remembered.

The front of the coins before the time travel had landscapes or flowers, and the back had portraits or images of people.

Lin Yuan originally wanted to do this, but gave up after thinking about it carefully. After all, he was still somewhat resistant to having his portrait printed on commemorative coins.

Others are even worse!

"There's no need to use a portrait on the back. After all, it's not a real banknote, but a commemorative coin. Let's use the same pattern on both sides to avoid any trouble."

Lin Yuan was really a little worried, so it was better to do it this way, and it also saved trouble.

After confirming it, Lin Yuan looked at the money printing machine expectantly. No, it should be called a commemorative coin printer now.

After Lin Yuan decided on the style of the commemorative coin in his mind, a stronger scent of ink gushed out from the commemorative coin printer.

Then a brand new commemorative coin appeared.

Lin Yuan picked it up. The commemorative coin was light red in color, unlike the colorful ghost banknotes before, and the face value was also three yuan.

However, it has a strong smell of ink, and looks more upscale and attractive.

After checking the resource storage in the commemorative coin printer, I found that the A4 paper given by Liu San had been used up, but there was about half of the ink left in the two bottles.

In other words, a piece of A4 paper provided by Liu San and a bottle of ink can be used to make a three-yuan commemorative coin.

In Lin Yuan's shop, five bottles of ink cost three yuan.

But in terms of the actual cost, even the ghost blood cuttlefish was raised by Lin Yuan in the ghost lake fish pond, and he let it eat fish and shrimps in the pond every day. These fish and shrimps were brought by the fish pond itself and flowed in from the outside waters, so there was no cost at all.

Harvesting more than a dozen bottles of ink every day will not cause any harm to the cuttlefish. On the contrary, it will not make the cuttlefish fat and will maintain a healthy body shape.

Otherwise, if the ghost blood and cuttlefish eat too much and fail to digest it, it will damage the ecological environment of the ghost lake and fish pond.

So the ink is a no-cost business, and the only thing left is the price of this special paper.

"Let's go and talk to our material suppliers about cooperation. This way, Xiao An and Xiao Xi will have an easier time in the future."

Lin Yuan took Liu Qingqing downstairs, holding the newly produced new version of the ghost money Peace Hotel commemorative coin in his hand!

"Xiao Liu, your rice dumpling leaves are made of good materials. With some other materials and some of my collection, we can indeed refine a new version of the commemorative coin. Everyone, come and take a look. What do you think of this commemorative coin?"

Lin Yuan said as he handed over the commemorative coin.

Liu San and others quickly took it and took a look. It was a bright red commemorative coin with the exterior of the Peace Hotel printed on both sides. The face value was three yuan, and there was also the words "Peace Hotel Commemorative Coin".

Peace Hotel commemorative coin?
Several people looked at each other without saying much, but they had different thoughts in their minds and their expressions looked a little strange.

Lin Yuan still pays great attention to the customer experience. Seeing them like this, he said generously: "Please give us your opinions. What do you think of this commemorative coin? Are you willing to use it?"

"The style of this commemorative coin is very good, and it can also reflect the theme of the Peace Hotel. I personally like it very much, and if possible, I would like to use it. But the specific situation... Can I take this commemorative coin away? I want to bring it back to show everyone." Wei Jing was the last of the four to receive the commemorative coin.

As one of the most core captains of the headquarters, he does have this decision-making power now that the situation has not completely collapsed and the headquarters still maintains control.

Liu San, Zhang Lei and Li Leping had no objection.

Lin Yuan said generously: "Okay, this commemorative coin will be my gift to you. But please bear with me, the output of this kind of commemorative coin is not high, so..."

"I understand. If we need it in the future, we will come back to exchange it with Boss Lin." Li Leping said with a smile.

Lin Yuan nodded, and then said to Liu San: "Xiao Liu, it seems that our transaction will have to wait until tomorrow. But I want to confirm one thing in advance, that is, how much of this special material of zongzi leaves is produced, can you sell it all to me, or does someone else need it."

Liu Sanben had been planning to deepen his relationship with the "store manager", so he was very happy with Lin Yuan's proposal. However, he did not take on too much responsibility, but pondered and said, "These zongzi leaves are very special, and my production is not high. I wonder how many Boss Lin needs?"

In business, of course everyone wants to take advantage.

But Liu San had no choice. The so-called special material of paper was a derivative of his supernatural power. If he really called it too cheap, he would harm his own body.

How to find a suitable point and make the "store manager" feel that he is giving him face, this is what he needs to do most now.
