Cultivation begins in the endless sea.

Management is an art.

This is the empty promise the boss made to Lin Qing in his previous life.

In this life, he has dabbled in management, but he has also discovered that management is indeed a science.

Seeing Lin Shengrong smile, Lin Qing continued:

"I'd like to discuss this with Uncle Rong. First, let's make some adjustments to the layout of the building."

"Secondly, the scope of business operations has also been broadened."

He deliberately emphasized the word "relaxed," believing that Lin Shengrong would understand his implied meaning.

As expected, Lin Shengrong became interested upon hearing this and gestured for Lin Qing to continue.

"On my way here, I noticed that the market was lined with shops and bustling with people. However, there were not many spiritual food shops."

Why?

Lin Qing didn't keep them in suspense, but quickly shared her thoughts.

"Just like Shi Mei said, it's expensive and doesn't suit my taste!"

Lin Shengfeng asked, puzzled, "How come I didn't notice it the whole way?"

Lin Shengrong smiled and shook his head: "That's why I said you're an old hag."

"Hey, little sixth brother, do you have any good ideas?"

Hearing that Rong Bo had changed his form of address, Lin Qing smiled inwardly. With a wave of his hand, he poured tea from the pot.

As Lin Qing's hands moved continuously, the tea floating in mid-air also changed into strange and unusual patterns.

"I know that Rongbo can also make some simple tools."

"This kind of pot with two pools, one for yin and one for yang, is called the Twin Wings Pot. It can be used to consume various spiritual food ingredients at the same time."

"Even heating".

"Moreover, the flavors can be freely adjusted, offering a wide variety of choices."

...

With Lin Qing's detailed explanation, the business model of the hot pot restaurant from his previous life was fully introduced to Lin Shengrong.

The more Lin Shengrong listened, the more his eyes lit up!

There are many benefits!

Most cultivators in the market are below the Foundation Establishment stage and cannot avoid consuming spiritual food.

Therefore, the market base is large.

"As for the fact that it's impossible to please everyone?"

Lin Qing patiently explained that the biggest feature of this spiritual cuisine is its self-service model. Customers can choose their own flavors and the specific dishes they want to eat.

"What about the price?"

This is what Lin Shengrong cares about most.

"That's even simpler."

Lin Qing spoke eloquently, taking out a golden silk spirit fish as an example. A golden silk fish can be divided into three portions of spirit fish meat, so each portion of spirit fish meat is only worth half a spirit fragment.

Mass consumption!

This completely dispelled Lin Shengrong's concerns.

Lin Qing seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

"At that time, we'll bring Aunt Rong's spirit wine over. The spirit wine and the spirit food will make you live longer the more you drink it."

"By then, they won't call me a good-for-nothing anymore, right?"

Thinking of this, Lin Shengrong couldn't help but feel radiant and invigorated.

"Good, as expected of our Lin family's little genius."

"On my very first day in the market, I've already come up with a brilliant idea."

With this start, Lin Qing quickly dispelled Lin Shengrong's grudges, and the two simply closed the door of Linhexuan for the time being and invited all the Lin family members upstairs to hold a discussion meeting.

With the help of her aunt Lin Shengshuang, who was in charge of finances, Lin Qing quickly understood the business situation of "Lin He Xuan".

Currently, there are two cultivators at the eighth level of Qi Refining, Lin Shengrong and Lin Shengshuang, a sixth-level cultivator and winemaker named Zhang, and two employees, Lin Yunyue and Lin Yunshan.

According to the Lin family's salary calculation, one spirit stone is awarded per month for each level of Qi Refining, and so on.

Those who reach the ninth level of Qi Refining will automatically be promoted to Elder, and their annual salary will double.

Lin Shengrong's annual salary is ninety-six spirit stones.

In fact, to encourage members of the clan to develop here, the cultivators who guard Linhexuan will receive an extra one to five months' worth of pay.

That is, Lin Shengrong receives about 110 spirit stones each year.

The total number of people in the building was approximately 380 spirit stones.

This doesn't even include the three new people who arrived today.

In terms of revenue.

Every year, the profit from the local specialty, Feather Grass, is about three hundred. Adding in the profits from low-grade pills, low-grade materials, and Lin Shenghong's weapon forging, after taking a cut from the market...

The annual net profit is about five to six hundred spirit stones.

The price of a Foundation Establishment Pill has already increased to at least 15,000 low-grade spirit stones!

Therefore, it takes the entire clan twenty or thirty years to cultivate a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

This is the tragedy of small families.

Now that his father, Lin Shenghong, is far away in Wanling, the number of orders he receives for refining weapons will definitely be affected to some extent.

If you don't do something yourself, how can you talk about repaying your family?

So there was something he didn't say aloud, which he had actually discussed with the chef's mother, Madam Wang, on Wanling Island a month ago.

Otherwise, without a plan in mind, he wouldn't be able to come up with a good idea in an instant.

After hearing about Lin Qing's plan, especially the reform that links benefits to individual income, everyone was impressed.

They all excitedly offered their suggestions and advice.

Those who had doubts, such as Lin Yunshan, raised very practical questions.

"Will the products sold before the renovation continue to be available?"

Lin Qing nodded approvingly and continued:

"I plan to convert the front building into Ling Shan Ge, and use the back building to continue the previous business."

"We rent accommodation nearby, and of course, the family bears the cost."

After discussing this animatedly for two hours, Lin Qing seized the opportunity and asked Uncle Rong to personally craft the Twin Wings Pot.

He then led Lin Yunhe to prepare some spiritual food.

That evening, everyone sat around in the small courtyard between the two buildings.

As Yunhe brought over plates of exquisitely prepared spiritual vegetables and meats, Lin Qing unleashed a burst of spiritual fire from his palm, bringing a pot of Twin Wings to a boil.

The clear broth is infused with low-grade spiritual ingredients personally prepared by alchemist Lin Qing, resulting in a delicious and flavorful taste.

The red broth is complemented by a variety of spirit meat ingredients, with a rich meaty aroma that makes one's mouth water.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the crowd urged Lin Shengshuang, the female cultivator with the highest cultivation level present, to start eating first.

Lin Shengshuang, who was always in charge of the accounts, was calm and composed. She picked up a slice of fish meat as thin as a cicada's wing and gently dipped it in the boiling soup for a few breaths.

The fish meat was already cooked through, and she dipped it in a dish of spirit herb sauce prepared by Lin Qing.

It was tender and chewy upon entry, and the spiritual energy slowly melted down the throat, making it even milder and easier to absorb than a whole piece of cooked spiritual food.

Her eyes immediately lit up, and a rare smile appeared on her face as she softly said:

"tasty!"

"In the past, I only felt that spiritual food was expensive and I couldn't bear to eat it often. Now, it's divided into smaller portions, and the spiritual energy is gentle. Several people can sit at the same table and it won't cost many spirit stones, but they can taste several kinds of delicacies."

"It definitely has a promising future."

Seeing that even the usually serious Aunt Shuang was so certain, the others could no longer resist and began to feast.

Lin Yunhe was the first to react, grabbing a piece of spirit meat and stuffing it into his mouth, chewing with relish as he exclaimed:

"It's more than ten times tastier than Ling Shan Restaurant!"

Lin Yunyue rolled her eyes at her brother and said irritably:

"You always know to eat first."

"I have been disrespectful to my elders."

Uncle Rong waved his hand with a smile: "No need for so much formality tonight, just have fun, have fun."

Upon hearing this, Yunhechong raised her eyebrows and then went back to her "work".

Zhang had already filled the earthenware bowl with her family's spirit wine, and the clear, fragrant aroma of the spirit wine wafted out.

She stood up gracefully and laughed loudly:

"We congratulate Lin Hexuan on his future!"

"Tomorrow, congratulations!"

Everyone picked up their wine bowls and drank them down in one gulp.

Looking at the steaming scene before him, and then at Lin Qing sitting calmly to the side, Lin Shengrong was filled with mixed emotions.

"Okay, okay."

Lin Shengfeng, who had been silent all along, was filled with emotion. He suddenly remembered his own youth, when he was as young as Lin Qing.

What are you doing?

Oh, it seems like they're still foolishly learning the Spirit Ship Technique.

Time flies.

Fortunately, the young people in the family are like the waves of the sea, constantly emerging and never ceasing.
