Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 24 Exorbitantly Priced Chicken Wings
Once inside the city, Lin Chen made some inquiries and found the market management personnel.

"One hundred yuan a day is fine." A middle-aged man asked while drinking, "What do you sell?"

While street vending is permitted here, it must be allocated reasonably.

It wouldn't be good if food were sold next to clothing stores.

"Grilled chicken wings," Lin Chen said.

The market vendor wasn't surprised; young people often did this, but the market wasn't doing well. He didn't say much, took the money, and led Lin Chen to a street corner where there were many food stalls.

"This is fine. Once you've paid, you don't need to worry. If anyone causes trouble, just come find me." The market vendor was very kind and offered this helpful advice.

Lin Chen thanked him, then set up the barbecue grill, took out the chicken wings, and opened the lid of the barbecue seasoning.

The market vendor, who was about to leave, sniffed the air and then said in surprise, "Young man, what's this? It smells so good!"

Lin Chen didn't hide anything and told him it was barbecue seasoning. The market vendor, probably feeling the effects of the alcohol, said, "Here, give me one, I'll take it with my drinks."

Lin Chen glanced at Little Red. The little fox seemed hesitant and timid, worried that he might lose control of the situation and embarrass himself.

"It's okay," Lin Chen encouraged.

"A pretty nice little fox. And they even use spirit beasts for barbecue?" The market vendor glanced at the little fox and was also taken aback.

Little Red took a deep breath; this was the relaxation technique Lin Chen had taught it.

呲~
After practicing all night, all my hard work paid off, and this time I was very successful.

Soon, a delicious aroma wafted over, and Lin Chen picked it up and sprinkled it with barbecue powder.

The market vendor swallowed hard several times after smelling it, then picked it up and took a bite.

"It smells so good, so delicious!" The market vendor exclaimed as he ate and drank, only asking after he finished, "How much?"

"It's a gift for the grand opening." Lin Chen had worked at the company for so long, he understood the ways of the world.

A favor is worth far more than a chicken wing.

“No, that won’t do. That’s precisely why you have to pay for the first order, and there can’t be a discount. This is a good start.” After saying that, the market vendor took out his money, pulled out a ten-yuan note, and said, “Go ahead and say it.”

"Um..." Lin Chen said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Not enough?" The market vendor pulled out another twenty-yuan note.

Lin Chen then said directly, "I plan to sell it for one hundred."

"What?" Upon hearing this, the market vendor sobered up completely.

A single chicken wing costs 100? That's outrageous!
These ridiculously expensive chicken wings could buy a whole chicken!
"Never mind, it's yours." Lin Chen knew that he had set the price too high.

However, he had it all planned out. His barbecue seasoning was unique and delicious, and Little Fox couldn't mass-produce it.

The best approach is to maximize profits and reduce sales.

He didn't plan to make Xiaohong a full-time cook; she could just set up a stall in her spare time when they were struggling financially.

"No way, I have to give it to you." The market vendor pulled out two hundred yuan and said ostentatiously, "Give me another one."

"Okay."

Lin Chen smiled, grilled two more, and gave one to the market vendor. This time, the vendor didn't refuse and took it.

Over the next two hours, other people came over to ask, but were deterred by the price, with some even muttering "crazy."

Xiao Hong got anxious when she saw that she hadn't sold a single one, and asked Lin Chen if they should lower the price.

Lin Chen reassured her, "Marketing isn't about price wars; quality is the best weapon."

The little fox naturally couldn't understand, but it trusted Lin Chen.

An hour later, the market vendor returned with his men. As they passed by, they saw Lin Chen swatting flies and asked, "Young man, how many have you sold?"

"Not a single one was sold." Lin Chen smiled wryly.

The market vendor thought for a moment and said, "You could only sell this for a hundred in a big restaurant. It's a bit difficult to sell it at a roadside stall, but it's worth it." After thinking for a while, he added, "Your method is wrong. You should grill one and put it on top. The aroma will be stronger and attract more people."

Lin Chen was setting up a stall for the first time and naturally didn't know how, so he immediately followed his instructions and put two sticks up.

Sure enough, someone came soon.

Five or six people came in a row, and finally one of them bought one.

"Delicious," the man praised, but he didn't buy any more and left.

The little fox and the white fox were overjoyed; they were finally open for business.

In the following hour, three were sold, and there were no negative reviews.

Lin Chen saw the market vendor sitting next to him drinking and asked, "Shall I give you one?"

"No, you've already given me one today," the market vendor said. "But I can't afford to eat any more with my own savings. How about this, next time you come to set up your stall, just bring me one as a management fee."

"it is good."

Lin Chen nodded.

After setting up his stall for five hours and selling 16 items, Lin Chen decided to pack up and head to the Beastmaster Guild to collect his mission reward.

After grilling the remaining four, he and his two beasts ate them, then gave one to the market vendor as well, and then took 1,500 yuan to the Beast Tamer Guild.

"Why aren't you coming?"

Xia Yu is an impatient person. Although she is a girl, she doesn't pay attention to details in her work, so Huang Xiaotian calls her a tomboy behind her back.

“No rush.” Although Huang Xiaotian was young, he was very calm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become an information-type beast tamer. He said, “I have to wait for him and talk to him.”

Ever since the Poisonous Bee Beast's hideout was cleared out, Huang Xiaotian has become interested in Lin Chen.

The Monster Hunter Guild is now full of strong members, after all, this world values ​​combat power, but few are smart. A violent maniac like Xia Yu is a classic example.

I waited all day yesterday, and I waited all day today. With the Beastmaster Guild members about to leave work, I felt like I was going to wait for nothing again.

At this moment, Lin Chen arrived at the Beastmaster Guild, found the guild's quest marker, and began to ask, "Is this where I collect my quest reward?"

After showing his guild machine and number, and confirming that everything was correct, the staff gave Lin Chen the money.

"Sixty thousand?!" Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Although it was previously said to be over 30,000, it is usually just the base salary.

"The Monster Hunter Guild added you to their list," the staff member said with a smile. "Please wait a moment, someone wants to see you."

Lin Chen was taken aback, and soon saw Xia Yu and Huang Xiaotian arrive.

Huang Xiaotian had previously asked his staff to call out to Lin Chen if he arrived.

“It’s him.” Xia Yu had a pretty good impression of Lin Chen, so Huang Xiaotian stepped forward and introduced himself.

"Lin Chen." Lin Chen was also very polite.

"You deserve the most credit for finding the venomous bee beast's den this time. That den is indeed large, and if it continues to develop, many more people will die," Huang Xiaotian said. "The additional 30,000 is a special reward."

"Thank you."

Lin Chen was happy; 60,000 yuan was a lot of money for him.

After all, Lin Chen's daily expenses are not low these days.

"Can you tell me what you're thinking?" Huang Xiaotian said bluntly, "This hideout isn't just mine; other information-based beast tamers have also searched for it, but none of them have found it."

This is Huang Xiaotian's purpose in coming here. Xia Yu had previously told him about Lin Chen's thinking, but the key point in considering the problem is:

How to approach it.
