Gift is here!

Flattery!

This is the key point that Li Qi summarized from the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In fact, no one doesn’t like to listen to good things. Whether it is a loyal or a treacherous person, the key is whether the flattery can be in place and whether it can leave no trace.

Li Qi's flattery is very good, and it makes sense. It is a good story to match a hero with a strong wine!

Unicorn Furious of course considers itself a hero, at least in the Bull Hump.

Unicorn Fury likes Li Qi more and more, so rewarding is no problem. Another set of very precious bronze ware is rewarded to Li Qi.

But then again, apart from flattery, Li Qi had nothing to talk about with Unicorn Fury. Besides, Li Qi was very busy today, so he didn't stay for dinner and rushed back to the trade hall!

The Unicorn Furious did not force him to keep him. He just wanted to taste the fury wine alone.

At this moment, the trading hall was really full of beasts, and the outside was even more lively than inside.

"Hey! What's your number?"

"Oh... I'm late to take leave! No. 54. Where are you?"

"Haha! I'm No. 12."

......

"Who thought of this when entering the store by number? I really want to beat him to death."

"No! At least we can drink wine today. If we want to beat him to death, we can only smell the fragrance outside."

"By the way! How many numbers are you?"

“No. 101!”

......

I saw that there were customers in front of the trade hall, all sitting on small benches eating snacks and scolding my mother.

After all, the trading hall is limited and there is really no crowd inside. It was originally four tables, but now it has become six, which is a serious overload.

A hungry shop, a restaurant diagonally opposite the Trade Hall, was deserted, and the owner ran to the door to watch this spectacular scene.

His heart is really bleeding!

The guest is right at the door but does not enter.

"Oh... what kind of evil did I do?" The owner sighed, and became more and more confused. He asked Changyou beside him: "Xiao Guai, you said that this human is just a third-class race. Why can they make this wine? It's incredible, incredible!"

The Changyou, who was called Xiaoguai, said, "I...I don't know either."

"That's fine!" The owner choked and said, "Why didn't he come to our store, but went to the trade hall, where the business was already very good."

Xiaoguai glanced at the owner and thought to himself, if you want to come to your place, you must not cook him.

......

In this situation inside and outside the museum, Li Qi certainly did not dare to go through the main entrance and sneaked into the private room from the back door.

"Li Qi! You are here!"

When Ji Zheng and Xiaobai saw Li Qi coming back, they screamed excitedly and pulled Li Qi to speak endlessly.

Only the Nong ignored this, holding a large plate full of various fruits, hid in the corner, eating and laughing.

In fact, they did not have much shock to multiple races. Their shock came from the house, table, bed, jade cup, what environment is now for humans, what environment is here, and they suddenly came here, you can imagine how they felt.

As the chicken boy talked, he jumped again and landed on the big bed. The chicken said, "It will be very comfortable to mate here."

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Can there be anything else in your mind besides mating? Well, I'm very busy today and I don't have time. You can stay in this room with peace of mind, so don't go out."

Chicken shook his head and said, "Why? We want to go out and have a look."

"We don't want to." Xiaobai and the other two apprentices spoke in unison.

The chicken prostitute looked at the three of them in surprise.

Liqi said: "Don't forget that some of their races are human-eating. If you go out, be careful of being eaten by them."

The chicken prostitute was a little scared, "Okay...Okay, we won't come out."

After instructing them, Li Qi secretly went to the kitchen. Today he was in charge of the chefs. Fortunately, the basic skills of the cooks here were very solid. When Li Qi arrived, the ingredients were all ready!

......

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything, whatever you want, just have wine."

"That's right, our trade hall has prepared some new dishes to welcome the arrival of the wine."

"Is that so? Let me see."

"Red-clothed pupa?"

"Oh, this is made from the golden insect pupa."

......

"Invincible cake? What is this?"

"Yubai Niu Pill?"

“…!”

......

When those customers saw the brand new menu in front of them, they were a little surprised, why so many new dishes were released at once?

"Red-clothed pupa, I want the Red-clothed pupa." Xuxu immediately screamed excitedly when she heard that the Red-clothed pupa was made of golden worms.

"Do you have a small portion or a large portion?"

"Why do you need to divide small portions and large portions?"

"That's right, our trade fair will launch many new dishes. In order for customers to taste more dishes, our president decided to divide each dish into two portions in size. If you order a small portion, you can order a few more dishes."

"This red-clothed worm pupa still needs a large portion."

Xuxu insisted on the way.

Ah Hao said: "Xuxu, you like to eat golden insect pupae, we don't like to eat it. You can't just think about yourself."

The fierce beast sitting beside Beibei said, "Ahao is right, let's try it first, we can only do it once."

Xu Xu pointed to the hourglass next to him and said, "You forgot that you have to make a schedule for dinner today. If you want to order more, it will be too late."

Ah Hao said, "Yes! Who came up with this bad idea? OK, okay, I order a lot of money."

The ferocious beast said to himself: "But this is too wasteful!"

They are traders, and they are very good at calculating.

Xuxu laughed and said, "Xiao Wu, you don't know. I dare say that the dish today must not be made by the chefs under the president."

The beast named Xiaowu said curiously: "Who did that?"

"Liqi!"

Xuxu, Ahao, and Beibei said in unison.

......

Kitchen door!

"You see, he thought of all these new dishes. If I don't cooperate with him, once he cooperates with other owners, it will have a great impact on our trading hall."

Black Sheep Jiuzhen practiced literary Taoism towards Aries beside her.

Aries Xiuwen looked at Li Qi who was busy inside, and his eyes were shocked. After a while, he came to his senses and looked at Hei Yang Jiuzhen and said, "President, this... this is 50% of the share!"

"It's just money." Hei Yang Jiuzhen said: "But if I make a lot of money, I still make a profit. Moreover, his dishes, at the same price, have reduced the cost by more than half."

“How to reduce this?”

“It’s just to use less ingredients to cook.”

Aries Xiuwen said: "How can we do this? Customers will feel dissatisfied with this, which will affect the credibility of our trading hall."

Hei Yang Jiuzhen smiled and said, "There are therefore packages and large portions. Whether it is packages or large portions, there are discounts, which are lower than the previous price. However, based on the reduction of materials and the price of the entire package, the profit is quite large!"

Aries Xiuwen was from a trader, so I naturally understood it when I heard it.

Li Qi said at the beginning that the portion of the dish must be reduced, but as a businessman, you can't just cut half of it directly. This is unprofessional. Li Qi took out the methods of large portions and set meals. Large portions are more expensive than the original, but the portions are actually the same. Small portions are cheaper than the original, but the cost is much lower. For set meals, on average, the discount is more than before, but the profit of a set meal is much greater than that of one dish.

These are all very common methods in later generations.

Hei Yang Jiuzhen said: "This is just secondary. In Li Qi's words, we used to sell food, but now we sell crafts."

In the past, each dish was very large, and they ate just for the sake of delicious food. Now the dishes have become more abundant, but the recipes are complicated, which undoubtedly increases labor costs. Of course, the price has to be increased. No matter which era, wisdom is the most valuable.

Aries Xiuwen nodded slightly and said, "He is just a human? But...but why does the wisdom he showed is not like a human at all. He is even smarter than the traders of our royal family."

Black Yang Jiuzhen frowned slightly and said, "I'm also very curious about this. He can speak royal language. I believe this is related to the spiritual race, but the spiritual race is not as smart as him. These abilities are not something that the spiritual race can teach him. Are they humans really containing such great potential?"
