Transmigration: To Be His Man: Volume 2

By Lian XiNingMou

As soon as Qin Feng opened his eyes, he was horrified to find himself lying in a drafty thatched hut. The problem was that he was still in his villa! What was even more horrifying was that there was another man lying under the blanket next to his legs!

"You, you, who are you?"

The man quietly sat up, exposing his upper body. He looked at him fixedly for a moment, then took a broken bowl from the table by the bed. He said in a muffled voice, "Wife, drink this water."

Qin Feng rolled his eyes and fainted. Without permission, it is forbidden to reproduce or adapt it. Violators must be investigated.]

COMPLETION

CHAPTER 101 - SOMEONE WANTS TO BUY A PEACH

He had to help the Zhang Dashuan Family, Wu Di Family and the Precinct Head Family, he couldn't help them out in public. The advantage of living in the country was that they could help each other out in any way they could; the downside was that they got to know each other too well to know each other's financial conditions. If there was an understanding, then there would be a comparison. If the difference between rich and poor was too great, it would easily lead to conflict. If others knew that the Zhang Clan, Wu Clan, and Precinct Head Clan's sudden rise was related to their Qin Mian Family, the village would definitely not be at ease. In order to avoid trouble, Qin Mian decided to stay behind the scenes.

Zhang Dashuan did not know how to cook, but he was young and strong, his brain could be considered flexible. Previously, he had made a small profit by cooking bamboo sticks for the tavern's fragrant food. Before he started farming, he had even bought a donkey cart. felt that he could do sportscar business, and the business at the Shuangzhuan Restaurant and the restaurant where he ate delicious food was getting better and better. Every day, there were many people who came here from the Zhaoyang County to eat, and there were even many merchants who went through the process of going through the Zhaoyang County to eat. They heard that Shuangzhuan Restaurant and the restaurant where they ate delicious food was very famous, so they would also take a detour to eat a meal together. The more people there were, the more cars they would need. Sending guests away, not to mention a lot of them, would earn him at least thirty to fifty gold coins a day. In one month's time, it would be roughly a thousand gold, or one tael of silver. It wouldn't be much better than digging and eating on the ground, would it? More than that. Many girls in the village have daughter-in-law who weave lilies, embroidery insoles, embroidery handkerchiefs, and make winnings, right? Women were usually inconvenient to go out, and they did not have much time to attend to their chores. While doing business, Zhang Dashuan could also help people sell these small items. Perhaps outsiders like the local embroidery style? Every time he sold a portion, he would bring up some money to earn more.

Wu Di's family was a little harder to manage. Wu Di himself didn't know how to cook, and since Qin Mian didn't want to put him in his own property, he gave his family the idea of using earthworms to raise chickens. At this moment, they were feeding the chickens in the wild. Moreover, they only knew how to feed the chickens with rotten vegetables and leaves. At most, they would only feed the leftovers to the brown rice. The cost of earthworm breeding was low, so it was just right for a person like him with a normal family background.

According to the investigation, the eldest son of the Precinct Head was a blacksmith, while the youngest son was a guitarist. The Precinct Head had foresight. After giving birth to two sons, in order to prevent his sons from growing up and competing for the family property, he arranged for his two sons to learn different skills after discovering that their sons were not gifted in school. Unfortunately, this year was not going well. Craftsmen were only slightly better off than ordinary people, and the competition between them was great. After his two sons had grown up, they were still farming. Only when they were free did they find work to do to earn some money. Normally, when the villagers wanted to make up a basket or basket or replay the old quilt, they usually did so in search of them. The idea Qin Mian gave the older brother of the Precinct Head was to weave different kinds of patterns or to get infected by different patterns, making the weave more exquisite and beautiful, including bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo mats, reed mats, etc. At the same time, he also gave away free pictures of the various weavings he had seen in his previous life. More styles are to be found by the boss himself. He painted Precinct Head's second brother a knitting machine that could be used by both hands and feet. It was a cotton seed stripping machine, which could also be considered as keeping the second brother's original job. Qin Mian remembered that when he was very young, his grandfather's house had an old, manual decapitation machine, and he had even seen his grandfather's work on it before. This machine is unique and must make a lot of money.

Of course, Qin Mian asked the Uncle Fu to pass these thoughts down to the three families. The three families did not think that one of Qin Mian's intentions was to distract the villagers' attention. They only thought that Qin Mian and Lei Tia had given it to them because they had a good relationship (Zhang Dashuan, Wu Di) and status (Precinct Head). They were all grateful and moved. Such a good idea of making money, no one needed to emphasize it, they would not leak it out. Everyone understood the principle that things were rare and precious.

After settling this matter, Qin Mian brought a basket of peaches to Zhao Wenzhong's house to pay a visit.

Summer heat, villagers are used to open the door, cool. Qin Mian walked to the entrance of the courtyard. Before he even had the chance to speak, Zhao Wenzhong's wife, who was sitting in front of the hall picking vegetables, had already stood up with a face full of surprise and excitement, greeting him and wiping his hands on his clothes.

Lei Tia's wife is here, he's a rare guest. Come in and sit down. She called into the room, Boss, there are guests.

Qin Mian passed the basket to her, and said smilingly: Aunt, sorry to bother you. This is just a small matter, I hope you don't mind.

So what if he's here? Why did he bring something with him? Are you treating me like an outsider? Zhao Wenzhong's wife took the basket and placed it at the side. He swiftly poured him a cup of cold tea and said, Come, let's drink a cup of tea to cool the air.

Zhao Wenzhong sat on the cold seat and teased his three-year-old grandson. He put on his shoes and carried his grandson out.

Uncle Zhao. Qin Mian's gaze fell on the child, Is this your grandson? He looks really strong."

This kid is so cocky. Zhao Wenzhong patted the little brat's butt and handed him over to his wife.

Grandfather, I want to eat peach! The baby clung to the basket with both hands and licked his lips.

I only know how to eat. Zhao Wenzhong scolded her, "Grandma will wash it away for you. Lei Tia's wife, you guys continue your conversation.

Please do.

Zhao Wenzhong's wife carried his grandson, picked up the basket and headed to the kitchen in the courtyard.

You and Lei Tia are now the big spenders in the village. You already have a lot of face to be able to come visit our house. Why are you even bringing things with you? Zhao Wenzhong joked. Long ago, he was very polite to Qin Mian and Lei Tia. The facts proved that he was right, and that he did benefit from the light of the Lei Tia Family.

Qin Mian laughed: Uncle Zhao, you must be joking, I came here for no reason.

Oh? Is there anything I can help you with? Zhao Wenzhong guessed in his heart, but there was no answer, Tell me, as long as it's within my capabilities, I will definitely not decline.

It really is within your capabilities. Qin Mian said straightforwardly, I want to buy your house.

Zhao Wenzhong was curious. The house in Lei Tia Family was not small, why buy an old house? Not for living. Could it be for business? It was just that in such a small village, there was a tofu factory, a winery, and a fishmonger. What kind of business opportunity could there possibly be? After thinking about it for a while, he said without hesitation, Sure, that house is a waste. If you want it, I'll sell it to you. That pond is also ours. If you want it, then you might as well buy it.

That's exactly what I was thinking. How much do you think is appropriate? Qin Mian had already known that things would go smoothly, the expression on his face did not change, and there was a profound aura that could not be discerned.

Zhao Wenzhong was very frank, Two taels of silver is enough.

Qin Mian was surprised, That won't do. Even if the pond is older, the walls and roof tiles weren't damaged so much. It's not just the price.

Zhao Wenzhong originally wanted to befriend Qin Mian and Lei Tia, but after hearing this, he felt more appreciative of his character and laughed, Speaking of roof, you guys changed a lot of them back then. It wouldn't be a loss to pay three taels of silver even for the pond.

Seeing that he was not pretending to be generous, Qin Mian did not reject, and laughed: Then I will take advantage of Uncle Zhao. Seeing that your grandson really likes eating peaches, I'll get someone to send you a basket when we get back.

Zhao Wenzhong laughed: That's good.

Qin Mian gave him three taels of silver and obtained the room deed for the old house.

Once he left, Zhao Wenzhong's wife carried his grandson back to the living room. After asking around, he also felt that this matter was worth it. The empty place in the village was slowly collapsing as well. How could he get another basket of peaches? This was something that had a lot of face in the village!

A carriage stopped at the Leisurely Dwelling House entrance. A carriage driver and a attendant jumped down from the carriage. attendant moved a footstool and placed it on the ground.

A middle-aged man with a long black beard came down from the carriage. He wore a gray robe with a slanted lapel, and his eyes shone brightly as he swept his gaze across the three words Leisurely Dwelling House on the wall and nodded slightly.

attendant went up and knocked on the door.

Is anyone there?

Lei Qinzhong opened the door, Who are you looking for?

attendant took out a small purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into his hands, his mouth was full of sweetness, This big brother, may I ask if Boss Lei and Boss Qin of Shuangzhuan Restaurant are staying here?

Lei Qinzhong accepted the purse without batting an eyelid. Steward Fu had taught him that he could accept rewards from visitors.

Yes. You are?

Please inform Big Brother that Manager Wei, who is from Zhaoyang County, has come to pay a visit.

What's the matter? Lei Qinzhong asked.

attendant said: Our shopkeeper wishes to discuss with your esteemed master about buying the fruits of your villa.

Wait a moment, I'll go report it to Master. Lei Qinzhong closed the door and ran into the small forest.

Lei Tia was training with his family officers. Lei Qinshun and the others were standing in the sun, sweating profusely. However, after training for such a long time, the effect was also significant. Compared to before, everyone had become firmer and more spirited. They stood there upright like little white poplars.

Dressed in green, Lei Tia felt as refreshed as usual.

Lei Qinzhong walked in front of him and reported, Reporting to Eldest Young Master, there is a shopkeeper Wei who claims to be from the Zhaoyang County who wishes to purchase Tian Gu Li's fruits.

Nope. Lei Tia said, Next, half an hour of horse stance.

Yes sir!

Lei Qinzhong quickly ran back to the door, opened it and said, Our master said that our family's fruits are not for sale, then closed the door.

Ah — you! Before attendant could finish his words, the door closed and he could only walk back to Manager Wei, Shopkeeper, what do you think?

Manager Wei frowned. He had long heard that the Leisurely Dwelling House only provided the fruits to the Shuangzhuan Restaurant, but never would he have thought that they would not even be given the chance to negotiate.

Qin Mian stepped on the tree branches as he strolled back. He looked at the few people standing in front of his house in bewilderment. However, he did not ask any questions. Instead, he went straight to the door and knocked. Since these people were not invited by Tia, there must be a reason behind it. He still hadn't realized that his relationship with Lei Tia had already reached a very deep level. Trust in each other was as natural as breathing, there wasn't the slightest bit of doubt.

Open the door.

CHAPTER 102 - THE BATTER WAS MADE

Lei Qinzhong opened the door and bowed, Young Master, you're back.

Yes.

Just as Qin Mian was about to enter, he was called out.

Please wait.

Manager Sun had been secretly sizing up this young man just now, and upon hearing Lei Qinzhong call him Young Master, he immediately confirmed his identity. A businessman, a laugh that makes people feel comfortable must also be a skill.

This must be one of the bosses of the Shuangzhuan Restaurant and Delicious Restaurant, Boss Qin.

Qin Mian could only stop and nod his head.

I am Sun Fugui, the second manager of Taibai Jinxing. I have long heard of the great name of Boss Qin, and my name is like a thunderclap that pierced the ears. Sun Fugui was determined to win this mission. Tai Bai Residence was one of the three famous restaurants in the Zhaoyang County. There was a total of three shopkeepers. The head manager was now old and had decided to retreat for half a month. The new head manager would be chosen between him and the third master. If he could talk about buying the fruits from Leisurely Dwelling House, the position of head storekeeper would definitely belong to him. Even though they were all shopkeepers, the rights and salaries of the three shopkeepers differed greatly.

So it's Manager Sun. You're too kind." Businessmen took peace as their value, and at the moment, Qin Mian could not just ignore him.

Manager Sun felt that Boss Qin was easier to talk to than Boss Lei, and he smiled: I have long heard of the beauty of Leisurely Dwelling House, I wonder if I can take a look at the Tian Residence in Boss Qin, which I am fortunate to be able to enter?

Qin Mian shook his head, looking apologetic. Manager Sun is making things difficult for me. Since Tia did not invite you in, he had his own reason. Please don't blame me.

At this time, Sun Fugui also felt that what they had said just now was not appropriate. Qin Mian and Lei Tia were a husband and wife, and Lei Tia had already rejected him. Now, he could clearly see that the two bosses of Shuangzhuan Restaurant had a deep friendship, and he secretly reminded himself that when dealing with them, he had to pay attention to this.

However, he was not a person who gave up lightly, and his smile was as normal as usual, It was I, Sun, who was inconsiderate. It's my first time in the countryside and I've witnessed such beautiful scenery. I'm really envious of Boss Qin and Boss Lei for living in such a peaceful village. I wonder if Boss Qin can take a walk with me on account of me coming from afar?

Qin Mian was not interested in strolling on the fields with a stranger, and asked instead, Could it be that Manager Sun is here for my family's fruits? It was not hard to guess that the only other place in the family that they might be working with was the fruit recipe.

Exactly. I don't mind —" Manager Sun was annoyed, as this Boss Qin was also very troublesome to deal with.

Manager Sun, to tell you the truth, the only one who wants to buy our family's fruit isn't the Great White House, which possesses only its Zhaoyang County. One of the guests from Dingan County had even offered fifty cents per pound of peach, but none of us agreed. Firstly, we do not lack this money; secondly, our fruit is one of the characteristics of the Shuangzhuan Restaurant; thirdly, once we agree to sell it to one family, we will inevitably attract another, then will we sell it or not? Therefore, we will not set a precedent. The Manager Sun is also a businessman, I think we can understand.

He welcomed them with a smile, while the Manager Sun did not look too good either.

Next year, we will sell a portion of our fruits to the public. Perhaps, we will have the chance to work with the Manager Sun. Qin Mian spoke with sincerity, Since the Manager Sun came from afar, I, Qin, have not been held accountable. Lei Qinzhong.

I'm here. Lei Qinzhong walked up.

Go pick a basket of nectarine and gift it to the shopkeeper. Wishing Manager Sun's Taibai Jinxing business to rise to another level.

Since he was able to do this, the Manager Sun could only clasp his hands and say, In that case, thank you very much Boss Qin. I hope that next year we will have the opportunity to work together.

Qin Mian smiled and nodded, he entered the door to see Lei Tia standing not far away with his hands behind his back, smiling at him. He came because he was worried; he didn't come close because he trusted in his abilities. A man like that, you have to hold on to him.

He quickly walked in front of Lei Tia and wrapped his arm around Lei Tia's shoulders as he walked in.

Lei Qinzhong, who was walking at a brisk pace and was following behind after closing the door, also felt a little light-hearted.

Lei Qinzhong, don't be too honest with outsiders. Just find a nice little basket, and it'll be enough for eight peaches. Eight eight eight eight eight, go. What a good moral."

Yes, Young Master! Lei Qinzhong ran away.

How's the discussion about Uncle Zhao's family? Lei Tia led Qin Mian into the shade of the tree.

It's going smoothly. I've also bought the pond, so it's convenient to use water. But first I'll have to look at the books, and then I'll have to see if there's anything in the house that needs to be reworked in the afternoon.

I don't need to personally watch the afternoon training. I'll accompany you.

Yes.

Seeing Lei Qin Li pulling the grass out of the orchard, Qin Mian told him to pick a basket of nectars and send it to Zhao Wenzhong's home.

As the battle between the Madam Du and him had already reached its climax, even though the Madam Wei was pregnant, Qin Mian still did not ask anyone to send peaches over there. He was afraid that the Madam Wei would misunderstand that they were trying to win her over. Before the battle situation in the old residence became clear, it would be as far away as possible. Like Cherry, it's okay to send some when Peaches is quitting.

After returning home, Qin Mian ran to his room on the second floor, opened a drawer in his desk and took out his account book.

Lei Tia poured a cup of cold tea and carried it over. He placed the cup on the table and sat beside his wife.

Right, we should add a few pieces of summer clothes. Qin Mian turned his head as she spoke, her lips accidentally brushing against his cheeks and licking her lips, It's salty.

This action was undoubtedly an invitation to Lei Tia. He grabbed the back of his wife's neck, sealed her lips, and vigorously turned it around in his mouth.

Qin Mian's mouth was sealed, he could only blink his eyes to express his helplessness. They were talking business, why did it suddenly happen? Summer is good and light; summer is not good, and you take off your clothes quickly if you don't wear them. Before he could resist, the man on him had already begun to eat, so he had to drop the account book and wrap his arms around the man's neck.

This month has already passed three times, right?

Lei Tia felt that he hadn't done well enough, as he swept the pillow that was in his way onto the floor and covered his entire body …

After almost two hours, Lei Tia was finally full. He hugged Qin Mian, whose body was weak, and let him lie on his shoulder, gently stroking his back.

Qin Mian gasped for breath, pushed away his hair and bit on the side of his neck, I told you not to listen to me!

Lei Tia gasped, his body tensed up as he asked: You want to try again?

Qin Mian said honestly, I don't want to eat too light today.

Boiled winter melon balls, steamed tofu, fried eggs with leeks and fried vegetables.

You sure know how to order. Aren't you going to cook for me? Qin Mian laid on his shoulder lazily.

Lei Tia was silent for a moment, Should I wash the dishes?

Don't steal Aunt Fu's work.

Up until now, neither of them had mentioned inviting people to cook at their homes. This was their home, and they did not want outsiders to interfere. Every time he cooked, he would wash the vegetables and cook the dishes. It was also a type of flavor.

Teach me how to cook?

Qin Mian shook his head, No need, no need. He only knew how to cook, such as stewed meat, boiled tofu, and so on. He added water to the pot to boil it, poured some oil into it, and then threw all sorts of ingredients into it. After cooking, he added a little more salt, and when it was light, he continued to add more. Stir-fry, fry, and the like were not to be expected. A few days ago, the two of them also had a hard time during the day. He didn't know whether it was on impulse or out of nowhere, but when he went to cook, he accidentally invented a new dish: stir-fry Charcoal.

Puff puff … Thinking about what happened that day, Qin Mian couldn't help but laugh.

Lei Tia massaged him without saying a word.

Qin Mian had enough rest so he went downstairs to take a bath and make lunch.

After eating lunch, Lei Tia rested on him for an hour before the two of them went out.

The Zhao Family's house hadn't changed much from last year. Only a part of the roof tiles had been damaged by the wind and snow. It would have been easy to spend some effort on it.

When they got home, the two began to make their own powders. Qin Mian bought the old residence of the Zhao Family as a whitewash workshop.

The most common powders are sweet potato and potato. Today they were going to make sweet potato chips. Due to the guidance of the books in the space, it wasn't difficult to practice.

The first step is to turn the sweet potato into sweet potato powder. The sweet potatoes were washed and peeled, mashed, and added with a little cold water, not past the surface, and the water became turbid by constantly pinching the sweet potato mud; the sweet potato mud was scooped out of the water with a spatula, and the only thing left in the basin was starch water. Place the sweet potato paste in another basin. Add water and repeat the previous step, so many times, until the starch is completely washed out. He stood still for about two quarters of an hour until the water became clear and he slowly poured the water out. What was left in the basin was the starch paste. Place the starch paste in the sun to dry, knead it with your hands, and it will be sweet potato powder. The next step, add appropriate amount of cold water into the sweet potato powder to make a paste, until the tendons and tendons, then press the dough into a thin strip and cook. While cooking, don't break the water and stir. After cooking, scoop it up and put it in cold water and dry it in the sun.

Around noon the next day, the first batter was dried. At noon, it just happened to be used for cooking.

The most common dishes made with shredded meats are the ant on the tree and the cabbage pork stew. Summer was not the season for cabbages, Qin Mian let Lei Tia pick one from the space. In addition, he also cooked a small hotpot, threw a handful of powdered rice into the hotpot, the taste must be pretty good.

The homemade powder strips were clean and tasty, almost identical to the ones bought in the Modern World. Both of them liked it and had wiped out all three dishes.

The method of potato powder strips was almost the same as the method of sweet potato powder strips. The taste was also not bad.

Shutdown: Farmers often use the word, after the final round of harvest there will be no more output.

CHAPTER 103 - BUY SWEET POTATOES AND POTATOES

Qin Mian hired eight women in the village who were responsible for making sweet potato and potato starch. Two peeling, two chopping. The other four mashed and made starch. This time, he did not invite anyone else. Instead, he invited a few other people, but they all had good characters and were diligent in their work. It would also try to maintain a balance in the village. The next step was more critical. Qin Mian let his family's generals take responsibility, not afraid of them revealing his secret.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia were responsible for the purchase of the potato and sweet potato. Lei Tia had overstated it and paid for it.

Once everything was planned, Qin Mian would have his people spread the news. If you buy too much, it's not convenient to store. Therefore, every two days, it would be purchased.

Today, he took out a brush, ink and paper, while Lei Tia carried a case of copper coins that he had specially bought in the town to the main entrance. Uncle Fu brought a set of table and chairs over and placed them in the shade of a tree.

The villagers picked up the sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes from home early in the morning, came to the Leisurely Dwelling House and lined up in front of the door. Summer is not the fruit of sweet potatoes, most of which are stored in their cellars during the winter. The price was slightly higher. June was the maturity period for potatoes, and many of the potatoes brought by the villagers were covered with a little soil. Every year at this time, the farmers would harvest the potatoes they grew. If there was too much, it wouldn't be worth it anymore. They never thought of selling it, they just added a bowl of vegetables to their table. But now, Leisurely Dwelling House could actually buy potatoes, and they could exchange for money without even going out. Everyone had smiles on their faces.

The villagers chatted happily, asking each other how many potatoes and sweet potatoes they had brought, what they were going to do with the money. The Leisurely Dwelling House entrance was bustling with noise and excitement, as if it was a big gathering. A few naughty guys wanted to run into the farmhouse, so they were scolded by their parents and obediently played at the door.

Calm down, uncles. Let me first talk about the price of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Qin Mian stood on the chair and said loudly.

Lei Tia saw that he was only taller than his by half a head, and a smile flashed past his eyes.

The villagers immediately quieted down, afraid that they would suffer if they misunderstood the price.

Qin Mian said, A sweet potato is one and a half kilograms, and a potato is one and a half kilograms. Because weighing cannot happen to be an integer, and I cannot break a dime into a few portions, so if there is a fraction of the bill, we will give you an integer.

What do you mean? Zero Head... You're not giving it to me?" A villager asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

Qin Mian laughed, For example, if I weighed potatoes for you guys, it would be twenty and a half kilograms, which is twenty-eight kilograms. In short, if you have a dime, we'll charge you a penny."

The villagers praised Qin Mian and Lei Tia for being so kind.

Qin Mian said modestly: You flatter me too much. We are all from the same village, so we won't fool you. I will write down your names, the weight of the dishes, and the total price in my account book. There are those who are illiterate. You can memorize the numbers and then ask the literate person.

The villagers all nodded.

That's good.

In addition, Qin Mian explained everything that he needed to say, Because the baskets and the weight of the baskets that each family brought were different, they were all weighed in our own baskets. The total weight taken off our basket is the weight of your food.

The villagers nodded again. They all understood.

Qin Mian jumped down from the chair and sat in front of the table, he placed down the pen and paper, and said, Tia, how about you call us our basket first?

Lei Tia called out his basket in front of everyone, Six taels.

The people in the manor basically read the scales, and the two women who were watching on the side nodded to show that there was no problem.

Alright, let's overweigh it now. Everyone, line up and come one by one. Qin Mian said.

Zhou Erhao was the first to arrive, ranking first. His family's potatoes were packed in baskets. Lei Tia picked up the potatoes one by one to see if they were broken or not. If they were not, he would put them into his basket.

Behind them, some of the villagers who had been fooling around quickly found a place to secretly pick out their own rotten potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Zhou Erhao felt that Lei Tia humiliated him by inspecting him like this, but he did not dare protest against Lei Tia. He could only keep a straight face and mutter: Our family's potatoes are all good. Just dug, fresh.

Qin Mian laughed: Of course. However, in two days, there will definitely be villagers from other villages who will bring potatoes and sweet potatoes. This way, we will be able to treat everyone equally and avoid unnecessary troubles. Brother Zhou, don't mind it."

Zhou Erhao was speechless.

After checking to the bottom, Lei Tia picked out four rotten potatoes and set them aside. Several villagers saw this clearly and started to laugh.

Zhou Erhao stuttered but was unable to say a word.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not say anything. Lei Tia hung the basket on the scale hook, and with a flick of the weight, he said, Forty catties.

Qin Mian truthfully recorded it and repeated it to Zhou Erhao, Zhou Erhao, potato, 40 jin 4 taels, counted as 41 jin, 41 copper coins.

That's right. Zhou Erhao said.

Lei Qinle swiftly counted out forty-one copper coins from the till and handed it over to Lei Qin Hui. Lei Qin Hui said again. After confirming that it was correct, he handed it over to Zhou Erhao.

The weighed potatoes were poured out by Lei Qinzhong onto the carriage, and after the carriage was filled up, they were sent to the workshop.

Zhou Erhao happily took the money and pocketed it.

A villager lined up at the back of the line to make fun of him, Good, let's go to the town together for a drink today!

Zhou Erhao picked up a few potatoes that were partially rotten and put them back into his basket, Another day, another day. The potatoes in the field are not finished yet.

Next.

Madam Du and Madame Zhao each held a basket and placed it on the ground. One basket contained sweet potatoes, the other a potato.

The villagers quietened down at the same time and stretched their necks. They all had a feeling that this mother-in-law pair was about to stir up some trouble again.

Lei Tia also checked them one by one.

The Madam Du had a dead face, coldly snorted, and said with a sharp voice, Boss, we are all family, do you think I would lie to you? It's not easy to see you do it, right?

The husband and husband pretended not to hear. Qin Mian looked down at the account book and thought, if there really is a rotten one, then you're the one who doesn't look good. Lei Tia's hands did not stop moving.

Mrs Zhao thought that under the potatoes, there was a mix of rotten potatoes and sweet potatoes, she was a little flustered, suddenly, she found the good fortune and quietly retreated to the back of Madam Du. Anyway, she was just helping to carry it.

There were indeed a few rotten ones at the bottom of the basket. There were six potatoes and four sweet potatoes. That added up to seven or eight pounds.

Several villagers could only click their tongues.

The Madam Du said with a straight face, It's just a little rotten, wouldn't it be fine to eat the rotten one?

Qin Mian stood up, his attitude was polite, and his tone was serious, Mother, what you said was not right. We're buying these sweet potatoes and potatoes to be eaten by others. Isn't it harmful to sell rotten ones to others as well?"

You … It's not that serious." Madam Du was a little guilty, and her voice was a lot softer.

Qin Mian sat down.

Fifty-two kilograms of sweet potatoes and sixty kilograms of potatoes. Lei Tia's cold voice fell to the ground like hail.

Madam Du shuddered, and did not dare to pester him anymore.

Qin Mian's writing was smooth as he reported, Sweet potatoes weighing fifty-two kilograms and four liang, counting fifty-three kilograms. It should be worth seventy-nine and a half liters, counting eighty liters; potatoes weighing sixty kilograms and eight taels, counting sixty-seven kilograms and sixty-seven liters. A total of one hundred and forty-seven dollars.

Lei Qinle took out a stick of money and counted out seventeen more words.

Madam Du frowned and did not immediately take the money, Boss's wife, say it again.

Qin Mian repeated himself leisurely.

Madam Du thought for a while before nodding and accepting the money.

Your mother wants to eat peaches, I'll go pick some. After saying that, she started to walk in.

Qin Mian called out calmly: Lei Qinle.

Lei Qinle took out a basket from the back of the carriage and ran in front of Madam Du, laughing: Old granny, First Young Master and Young Master are already prepared. Let me help you carry him over?

Madam Du saw that the baskets were extremely full, but each peach was very big if you couldn't handle it, it should be around a dozen. At most, everyone could get one peach (She wasn't mistaken, Qin Mian had given them according to the size of the old mansion), and she was a little dissatisfied. But Qin Mian had prepared everything beforehand so she could not find anything wrong with it. Seeing that the villagers were all staring at her, her vanity was greatly satisfied. She arrogantly raised her head and walked out the door, scolding Lei Qinle: Are you still not following me?

Lei Qinle quickly followed.

Oh, and the basket! Mrs Zhao shouted.

Lei Qinle pretended not to hear, and politely said to Madam Du: Old granny, please slow down, be careful of stepping on some rocks.

Mrs Zhao had no choice but to carry two big baskets and chase after them. She stared at the bright red peach in the baskets, afraid that one would be missing.

When they left, the villagers roared with laughter.

Qin Mian lowered his head to write, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

It wasn't even noon yet, but the villagers in the nearby villages all received the news and rushed over with sweet potatoes and potatoes.

He busied himself until dusk, and after sending off the last person, Qin Mian swung his wrist. Lei Tia walked over and picked up his hand to knead it.

Qin Mian leaned against the back of the chair like a big boss, placed his legs on the table and said to Lei Qin and the rest, I will let you guys take over the next purchase. Lei Qin was responsible for keeping the accounts. Who will weigh and who will count? Lei Qinzhong arranged for other people to take turns.

Yes sir!

Qin Mian muttered to himself for a moment, then looked at Lei Qin Hui, There's one more thing.

Lei Qin Hui stepped forward, Please give your instructions, Young Master.

How many words do you know? Qin Mian asked.

Lei Qin Hui said, I've been in the private school for four years, so I can read most of the characters.

Qin Mian said: Our family is always troubled by people who are unable to read. How about you teach other people how to read?

Uncle Fu, Lei Qinle, Lei Qinzhong and the rest were overjoyed, Lei Qinle's hands could not help but tremble. Literacy had always been a far cry from them, but now they had a chance!

CHAPTER 104 - POWDER STRIP WORKSHOP OPENING

The two masters were not harsh people, the Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu were friendly, and the servants of Leisurely Dwelling House got along well with each other. Lei Qin was happy for the others as well. He said without any hesitation, I'm willing!

Yes. Qin Mian said, We will temporarily use the third room as a school for you. You will study for the next two hours after lunch. You don't have to teach too many complex things. You have to teach some simple, common words and basic arithmetic.

Yes. Lei Qin agreed.

Uncle Fu and the rest suppressed their excitement and kneeled down together, Thank you Young Master, Eldest Young Master!

Qin Mian immediately said: Quickly get up, this is not a big deal. Uncle Fu, arrange someone to buy some ink and paper from the town tomorrow.

Uncle Fu replied happily: Yes.

Alright, you guys clean up here. Qin Mian stood up, feeling a little hungry, Tia, what do we eat tonight?

Fresh carp.

Then be a dried carp.

The two chatted as they walked away.

Lei Qinle held onto the money box, following far behind.

Aooo.

Qin Mian turned his head to look and saw a fat grey rabbit dashing in.

Hehe, it's good that you're back for free. Make yourself a spicy rabbit.

He rubbed its large head appreciatively as it came to him.

Aooo!

Don't worry, I'll give you half. The other half will be used to make spicy bunny. Qin Mian patted its head.

If you run away with a rabbit in your mouth, you will send the rabbit to the kitchen.

The atmosphere between the two Young Masters became less ambiguous because of the appearance of Little White. Lei Qinle found an opportunity to speak, Eldest Young Master, Young Master, there's news from my place.

When he said this, the three of them all knew that it was the news of the 'branch family'.

Qin Mian asked: How is it?

In the end, they agreed to eat and work together. From now on, all the money earned by individual laborers will belong to them, but the Second, Third, and Fourth Young Masters all have to give the Old Master, Old Lady Du, and Old Madame Wei a hundred and fifty yuan worth of gifts. Lei Qinle said.

Qin Mian raised his eyebrows. One hundred and fifty coins a month was no small amount for Lei Xiangren, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee.

Lei Qinle said, Young Master, this humble one had originally said that I would only give a hundred coins to Old Man Du and Old Man Du, but Old Granny Wei disagreed.

That wasn't hard to understand. Although the Madam Wei had money and was pregnant, her children were yet to be born. Madam Du had four sons and a daughter, but she couldn't compare to them at all. She just needed to hold onto more money for herself and her child.

Seeing that the Young Master did not have anything else to ask, Lei Qinle did not ask anymore.

Lei Tia went to the kitchen to choose dishes.

Every morning, Aunt Fu would pick some fresh vegetables in the garden and send them over. Actually, these vegetables were all exchanged for space grown vegetables for Qin Mian and Lei Tia, and the vegetables picked from the garden were used to feed the chickens and ducks in the space. After all, the dishes in the space were of a higher quality than those in the garden outside.

Tia, what do you think Third Brother and Fourth Younger Brother can do? Qin Mian moved a wooden block and sat beside Lei Tia, holding a fan as he waved it. He had helped Zhang Dashuan, Wu Di and the other people that were not related to him in any way. It would not make sense if he did not help Lei Xiangyi and the others think of a way to earn money.

Lei Tia did not know what to do, The two of them are not skilled in cooking either.

Qin Mian hooked the trash can Lei Tia made in front of him with his feet and put down the fan. In his hand was a peach and a fruit knife. Actually, there was still a lot that he could do with regards to food, but he did not plan to advise Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee on food. Drinking and eating both had to go into the stomach, and if there were any problems in the future, it would be better to avoid them.

Or else give Third Brother and Fourth Younger Brother a recipe for charcoal. Now, most of the charcoal on the market is smoky, making people cry. Smokeless carbon already on the market is expensive, ordinary people can't afford it. I can make sure that the charcoal is almost smoke-free with this recipe. Third brother and Fourth Younger Brother are both hardworking people, with the recipe in hand, they would definitely make a lot of money this winter. It's just that, Lei Xiangren... Qin Mian frowned. He did not have a good impression of Lei Xiangren and his wife. But if they just ignored him, they were afraid of Lei Xiangren's rebound.

Lei Tia said: Give it to Third Brother and Fourth Younger Brother, have them call Lei Xiangren over, and let them explain clearly that they are to be paid according to the amount each person gets from hacking firewood. Everything else has nothing to do with us.

Qin Mian nodded. If he gave this recipe to her, then it would be the end of her kindness to the old residence. What would happen in the future would depend on their own abilities.

The next day, Qin Mian passed the charcoal recipe to Lei Tia, and told him to go and talk it over with Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee. He then brought Aunt Fu to the powdery workshop.

The eight female workers had started work early on the first day and had cleaned up the place. When they saw that Qin Mian had arrived, they all went up to welcome him.

Boss.

Qin Mian did not correct their names. Sometimes it was necessary to distance himself from them.

Ladies and gentlemen, all of you are quite early.

Boss gave us such a good opportunity to earn money, we don't dare to be late. A candid aunt said with a smile.

Qin Mian nodded and signaled the Aunt Fu to open the door.

Inside the house, the potatoes and sweet potatoes were piled into a small hill. Desks and chairs, kitchen knives, peelers, wooden basins, water vats, etc. were all prepared.

Qin Mian brought them into the kitchen, From now on, you guys will work in this room. Working in the morning from the fourth hour to the end of the hour (8: 00 to 11: 00) and in the afternoon from the end of the afternoon to the end of the hour (1: 00 to 5: 00). There is plenty of time left for you, you have plenty of time to take care of your housework, and you can make dinner before it gets dark.

The wives all nodded and said gratefully, Boss has arranged it very carefully.

Qin Mian laughed blandly, So, let's put off our grumbles first. I hope you won't be late for work every day. You know, there are a lot of people in the village who want to do this job.

The expressions of the women turned cold.

Your monthly salary is three hundred dollars, so if you are late, you will be deducted five cents at a time. You should have seen the little clock under the eaves just now. It chimed once every three minutes. When you heard this sound, you started rushing over here. It's the second time it's been four quarters of an hour. Those who haven't come in before the second time is counted as late.

The women secretly admired his methods, but they also felt relieved at the same time. In case they didn't notice the time when they were working at home, they would arrive in time to hear the clock chime.

Qin Mian glanced at Aunt Fu.

Aunt Fu took out a few masks from a small basket on her arm.

Wear a mask when you work. You are allowed to speak, but do not delay your work. Aunt Fu will stay here. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask her.

Yes.

After finishing his instructions, Qin Mian left.

Initially, they wanted to get closer to her. But thinking that Aunt Fu was very loyal to Qin Mian and Lei Tia, and would absolutely not say anything that they shouldn't say, the women gave up. They put on their masks, took the tools they needed and started to busy themselves. Three hundred dollars a month was more than some men would earn if they spent a month outside fighting for goods. No one wanted to lose their job.

Qin Mian strolled back and saw Lei Qinshun picking up eggs from the chicken coop. (TL: OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG OMG

Young Master.

How many did you pick up today? Qin Mian walked over and took a peek.

Lei Qinshun replied, Thirty-one. The chickens at home ate well, and almost every hen laid an egg every day. Aunt Fu has already saved more than two hundred, I heard her say that she wants to sell some other day, the weather is hot now, if I let it go for a long time, I'm afraid it will break.

Qin Mian stroked his chin. Broken? You can make salty eggs. People here could also cook salty eggs, but he didn't know how they were pickled, but the taste was always weird. Before, he and Lei Tia had eaten noodles at a noodle house, but he had never eaten one again.

How about this, take a look and see who's free. You guys go outside and find me some loess.

The chickens in his space could also grow, but he had already saved more than eight hundred eggs, so he and Lei Tia couldn't finish them all. It was fortunate that space could maintain its freshness. Since he had the time today, he might as well make salty eggs.

Lei Tia came back from the outside and saw Qin Mian sitting in front of a large wooden basin filled with yellow mud water.

Wifey, you're so old and you're still playing with mud?

Qin Mian's mouth twitched, Who's playing with mud?

What are you doing?

Make salty eggs. You help out too. Qin Mian turned his head and called out to Lei Qinshun, Bring the washed eggs here. Lei Qinli, bring a few pots over here.

Sigh.

Lei Tia paused, rolled up his sleeves and walked over.

This yellow muddy water is filled with salt and essential oil, and the washed eggs are put into a clay pot to be evenly stained. After about twenty days, the eggs are removed, washed and the mud is removed, and when they are cooked they can be eaten. This way, the pickled egg yolk will produce oil. The taste is very fragrant, and the wine is also quite good. Qin Mian glared at him as he spoke.

Lei Tia nodded.

Qin Mian raised his hand and quickly tapped his face with his index finger.

Lei Tia looked at him and shook his head slightly. Then, he skillfully rolled the egg into a circle and put it into the jar.

Young Master, all the eggs have been washed. Leave this place to us. Lei Qinshun and Lei Qin Li rolled up their sleeves and joined in.

Yes, after I finish it, I'll move it to the warehouse.

Qin Mian went to the well and washed his hands.

Lei Tia followed him and rubbed the mud off his hands, Ok. No need to worry about them in the future.

Of course, we have a lot of things to do. Qin Mian said, Just now, I took a detour around the garden, and the earliest batch of chilies is already red, you have to hurry and pluck them, and make them into dried chili sauce or chilli sauce, which can be stored for a longer time.

Lei Tia said: After taking a nap in the afternoon, I will go pick them.

CHAPTER 105 - WHOLESALE

It rained for two days.

After the sky cleared, Qin Mian and Lei Tia carried their baskets and donned their straw hats as they arrived at the garden. In the chilli field, the first crop of chilli peppers occupied about a fifth of the land, divided into three rows. The green chili tree was knee-high. Thin and long chilies hung from the branches, exuding a warm life force.

In one hand they carried baskets, and in the other they plucked them swiftly.

At this time, Tian Residence's school was still having lessons, the sounds of Lei Qinshun and the others reading aloud could be clearly heard. Everyone treasured this hard-won opportunity.

After class, Lei Qinzhong brought along Lei Qinshun and the others and ran over with baskets. After bowing to Lei Tia and the others, they picked the chilies together.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia returned with two baskets of chili, and went into their space to pick two baskets. Qin Mian instructed Lei Tia to remove, wash and mince a basket of chili peppers. After that, he added in the appropriate amount of garlic and salt and sealed them inside a clay pot that had been washed and drained of water. This was a simple chili sauce. It could be stored for a relatively long period of time.

Qin Mian even made some pickled peppers. Soak the chili peppers in a simple manner. Wash the chili peppers and dry the water; wash the pickled vegetables in a pot. Pour in the appropriate amount of salt, sprinkle a little pepper powder, then pour in cold water. Then put the chili peppers in and add in a little white wine to seal them.

My wife, since Aunt Fu is staying in the workshop, I want to buy another person. Lei Tia looked at the remaining chili.

Qin Mian only thought a few seconds before agreeing, Buy. Just in a few days to go to town. After Aunt Fu had gone to the workshop, Tian Ju's original plan fell through. For example, he and Lei Tia would occasionally have to do the work in the garden themselves. If they had the ability, why didn't they let themselves feel better?

After waiting until the rice noodles reached over two hundred kilograms, Qin Mian and Lei Tia brought a hundred kilograms worth of rice noodles to the Shuangzhuan Restaurant.

The shopkeeper, Sun Mao Sheng, saw that the two bosses had brought something with them and guessed that they had a new dish.

Manager Sun, how's your business?

The smile on Sun Mao Sheng's face was a little forced, Back to Young Master, the business in the restaurant is not bad. It's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter these days, and it's getting worse compared to a while ago."

Qin Mian understood, the inadequacy of guest origin could only be a result of his Shuangzhuan Restaurant being damaged at the end of the day. He had considered this question before he built the tavern, and he had already come up with a solution for it. As such, his expression didn't change in the slightest, and he remained calm and collected.

Seeing that, Manager Sun was assured.

Lei Tia said to Qin Mian and then went to inspect the place.

When the weather gets hot, a few more cold dishes, pickles, or something like that." Qin Mian said as he walked in. As he walked past the great hall, he took a glance. He had purposely arrived around noon, and at this moment, there were still a third of the seats empty in the hall.

I understand. This pickled vegetable?" Manager Sun's eyes lit up. Being able to be specifically mentioned by the Young Master was definitely extraordinary.

Let's talk about this later. We need to launch a new dish today. Qin Mian passed over the long-prepared lottery box to him, Today, Shuangzhuan Restaurant will host a lottery to thank the old and new customers. You get every guest at every table to take out a card from this box. The blank card is' Thank you for your patronage '. The winners, This Boss will personally make a new dish, 'Flowers in the Wind', and gift it to them. Actually, he said ants up trees, but he didn't think the name was elegant enough, so he changed it to a bunch of flowers," which was still a decent name.

Manager Sun could not hear anything from this name, but upon hearing that it was a new dish, he became excited and immediately went out with the box.

Qin Mian rushed into the kitchen, and had the people use the boiling water to soak the noodles, and after a while, he heard the ruckus in the hall.

Very soon, a waiter came to report, Table Number 12's honored guest has won the prize.

Qin Mian gestured for Chef Li to move aside.

The other three chefs then understood that the new dish would be taken care of by Chef Li. However, they were not jealous, because the dishes that each of them was good at were different. Furthermore, the Little Boss had always been impartial towards the four of them, and if he performed well, the Little Boss would even give them a few more dishes. It had to be known that this matter also affected their monthly commission.

Qin Mian rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands. Chef Li stood by the side and watched as he studied.

Qin Mian poured the marinated minced meat into a pot and stir-fried it with a bit of salt, liquor and soup. Then, he added the soaked shredded meat and stir-fried it with a bit of soy sauce before adding the scallion and stir-fried it in twos and threes to fill the plate with the stir-fry.

The waiter picked up the dishes and quickly delivered them to the twelfth table.

On the other side, a waiter was running while shouting, room number 4 of the private room!

Esteemed guests, the new dish 'Flowers in Flowers' has been delivered. Please enjoy!

When the four guests at the twelfth table saw the noodle soup that they had never seen before, their expectations for the dish increased even more. They immediately moved their chopsticks and tasted it carefully, revealing expressions of satisfaction as they nodded their heads.

One of the elders could not help but praise, Delicious! This noodle like ingredient perfectly absorbed the taste of various flavors and the fragrance of the lean meat. It was soft, smooth and tender. It was also slightly tough and refreshing. Alright!

When the other customers at the other tables heard this, they silently swallowed their saliva, venting that their luck was not good enough to fail the award.

A customer looked regretfully at the card in his hands that had the words Many thanks to Master written on it. The words Shuangzhuan Restaurant were written on top of the card. In the lower right corner, there was a very small, sneaky little mouse. It was a little strange, but he didn't put it to heart, and kept the card in his pocket. He called the waiter and asked in a hurry, Lad, what's the price for this dish? Can you order it now?

The waiter smiled warmly and amiably. Sir, this new dish has just been released today. We should at least give the chefs a chance to learn, right? However, our boss just said, tomorrow will be the launch of a delicious, full meal, the whole set of dishes are made of noodles. If you are interested, you might as well come back tomorrow.

He spoke in a loud voice, not just for this one, of course.

The rest of the customers were satisfied with the answer, but they did not know what to eat. They wished that the sky would turn dark soon.

When dusk approached, there were obviously more customers entering and exiting Shuangzhuan Restaurant. The majority of them came to inquire about the powders, and there were even two wealthy families that had reserved the powdered rice in advance. One had to know that a table full of rice noodles cost eight taels of silver! Not cheap!

Some of the regular customers who had decided to eat dinner at Shuangzhuan Restaurant were still pestering the Manager Sun to also come for the lottery draw. As a result, at night, Qin Mian made another ten or so clumps of flowers, feeling extremely tired.

When the other restaurants and restaurants in the town saw this situation, they could only speak a few words of sarcasm, feeling extremely helpless in their hearts. If you can't compare, you can't.

After they
