Lin Tian collected his thoughts and said, "Brother Li, do you think the spiritual grass is more valuable, or the elixir made from the spiritual grass?"
Li Chengdao said without thinking: "Of course it's the elixir."
He suddenly realized, "So Brother Lin, you want to make elixirs to sell?"
"It just so happens that you got the Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book and the Four Fire Pills!"
Lin Tian shook his head, "The value of the raw materials is far less than the finished product, but the elixir can only be refined by myself at the moment. It will be too laborious to get involved in the beginning."
"Brother Li, you might as well think about it, what are the needs of the disciples at the bottom of the Taoist sect?"
Li Chengdao thought about his needs carefully and reasoned by analogy: "The disciples at the bottom of the Taoist sect are basically Zhifan and some unconventional disciples. The basic necessities of life for ordinary people are what they need to consider."
Lin Tian seemed to be a teacher teaching his students, asking in a persuasive manner, "What do you think of Daomen Canteen?"
Li Chengdao recalled the experience of going to the cafeteria with Lin Tian. They vomited every time they ate. The cafeteria food that was put into the storage ring at that time was now left intact in the ring to eat dust.
"I can't keep my mouth shut at all."
"So, our target is the canteen?"
Lin Tian said: "Yes, I plan to start with food first. The disciples at the bottom of the Taoist sect are the largest, and we have to grasp their needs."
“So, we first need to attract traffic according to demand, provide good customer experience, build word-of-mouth, and spread the reputation among the disciples at the bottom.”
“Secondly, tell good stories, build brand culture, and shape brand image.”
"Then relying on the brand image, the business was upgraded to food therapy, using food to promote cultivation and seize the mid-range disciple market."
"As for the final high-end market, elixirs, we have to discuss them with the Danfeng disciples at that time. The appearance should not be too ugly."
Li Chengdao was confused after hearing this, and said blankly: "What Brother Lin said coincides with my thoughts..."
"So, what should we name the store?" he said very pragmatically.
Lin Tian pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "How about calling it the 'Old Place' restaurant."
"Think about it, Taoist disciples have a good relationship and make an appointment to meet."
"A man asked, where to go?"
"Another person said, let's just stay in the same place."
"As long as one of them understands the old place as our 'old place' restaurant, won't there be people coming?"
Li Chengdao touched his chin: "That makes sense!"
"Then we take action now?"
Lin Tian nodded: "However, we need to choose a location first."
“Choose a place with target customers!”
"Where?" Li Chengdao asked curiously.
"That is to break into the inside, the Taoist canteen!" Lin Tian replied, "What we need is to attract the disciples who happen to be eating."
Li Chengdao nodded in agreement.
but……
Daomen Canteen shops require rent.
Under Lin Tian's persuasion (deception), Li Chengdao tearfully sold his Taoist robes and received an initial capital of 50,000 Tao coins.
Li Chengdao scolded the profiteers while selling, saying that the clothes worth 100,000 yuan were only worth 50,000 yuan after wearing them for a long time.
As for why he doesn't sell spiritual grass, Lin Tian said that spiritual grass has great uses and he can't waste a single one.
…
Daomen Canteen is similar to a food court, with shops arranged in an orderly manner.
There are seats in the store, and diners who cannot sit down can sit at the tables in the cafeteria lobby.
Last time, Li Chengdao bought some from every store, so the two of them were sitting at the dining table in the lobby.
Lin Tian was negotiating the price with the person who rented the canteen shop at this time.
The other party: "The rent of the shop is 10,000 yuan per month."
Lin Tian: "Five thousand Dao coins."
Opponent: "No way!"
Lin Tian: "Deal!"
Then, Lin Tian opened the door of the shop and stuffed 5,000 Tao coins into him, "This month's rent is paid."
"???"
"Are you kidding me?" the lessor said angrily.
"Didn't you say there was no way?" Lin Tian asked back.
The two are about to start a new round of war of words.
"Junior Brother Lin!" Suddenly a voice called Lin Tian.
Lin Tian turned around and saw an unremarkable senior brother, whom he didn't recognize but looked familiar.
"Who are you?"
The man said with a smile: "Junior Brother Lin, have you forgotten? I was in the Three Demons Hall thanks to you."
"Let's get to know each other again. I am the person in charge of Danfeng Canteen, Gu Qi."
Gu Qi looked at Lin Tianhe and the renter and asked, "Junior brother Lin, do you want to buy a store?"
Lin Tian immediately shook his head: "If I can't afford it, I'll just rent a shop."
"Junior Brother Lin, pick whatever you want and I'll give you a room." Gu Qi said grandly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian immediately took back five thousand Dao coins from the lessor and said coquettishly: "How can this be so embarrassing, Senior Brother Gu!"
Gu Qi waved his hand very proudly, "Junior Brother Lin is my benefactor, it's just a shop."
"Then, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful." Sure enough, generous people are so handsome.
"Junior Brother Lin is too polite."
After the location selection was completed, I found a store with nothing...
Lin Tian and Li Chengdao tidied up the shop for a while, and then Li Chengdao looked at the empty interior of the shop and asked, "Brother Lin, what food should we make?"
"Barbecue and hot pot!" Lin Tian replied.
Looking at Li Chengdao's confused expression, Lin Tian briefly explained what barbecue and hot pot were.
If you want the store to not take up too much energy, the best choice is barbecue and hot pot. Let the visitors grill and rinse it by themselves, saving time, effort and money.
Later, Lin Tian asked Li Chengdao to go to Qifeng and purchase some cooking utensils and mandarin duck pots.
The interior is mostly decorated.
The raw materials are those spiritual herbs in the storage ring given by Shushu.
As for division of labor.
Li Chengdao is good at the yin and yang method, which happens to include the water and fire method. He is responsible for washing the spirit grass and lighting the fire before opening the store. He is also responsible for recruiting customers at the door when opening the store.
Shushu is responsible for making Feitian Fen and rinsing the ingredients.
Swallowing God, responsible for cutting vegetables and serving them.
Lin Tian is responsible for being the boss (counting Dao coins).
The store officially opens.
…
The food in the cafeteria is generally difficult to swallow, but Bigu Pill is also difficult to swallow, so many disciples come to the cafeteria to change their taste after vomiting Bigu Pill.
It was lunch time at this time, and there was quite a lot of disciple traffic.
Li Chengdao was soliciting customers in front of the ‘Old Place’ restaurant.
However, he seemed to be standing still when no one was passing by, and when someone was passing by, he walked back and forth, looking around, pretending that he was also a passerby.
The boss Lin Tian was very dissatisfied with Employee Li, "You want to solicit customers, so you are pretending to be a lineman???"
Employee Li said confidently: "I am the young master of the Li family in Zhongshenzhou. It would not be good if others knew that I was showing up like this!"
Lin Tian: "..."
It's like someone knows you.
Lin Tian thought about it for a while and found it!
He called to swallow the god and disguised Li Chengdao as a raccoon.
Sure enough, Li Chengdao, the raccoon in disguise, became lively and began to twist and shout.
“Don’t miss it if you’re passing by.”
"Come in and take a look, take a look at the extremely delicious barbecue hot pot." Raccoon Li shouted with all his strength.
Lin Tian secretly sighed. Sure enough, some people seemed to be wearing disguises, but in fact they took off their disguises.
Under Raccoon Li's vigorous shouting, a crowd gradually gathered.
But no one came in, everyone was watching its performance.
Seeing this situation, Raccoon Li prepared to break through one by one.
"Wow, what kind of immortal is this? He is like a beautiful tree standing in the wind." Raccoon Li endured the discomfort and praised a senior brother with a fat face and an ugly face.
"I don't know my senior brother's name."
The fat senior brother opened the folding fan in his hand and said proudly while blowing the wind: "Zhuge Pi!"
Raccoon Li's face was full of admiration: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Pig! How about..."
After thinking about it for a while, I felt it was inappropriate, so I changed my mind and said, "It turns out to be Senior Brother Ge Pi! How about..."
After thinking about it for a while, it was still wrong, so he changed his mind again and said, "Brother Zhuge Pi, why don't you come in and try our special barbecue and hot pot?"
Zhuge Pi was already displeased when he heard the little raccoon across from him calling him a "pig" senior brother. When he heard him being called a "burp" senior brother again, he frowned.
"Is it possible that Zhuge is my last name!!!" Zhuge Pi roared.
"Tasting your grandma's legs, what kind of retarded thing is this?"
