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 wi
ings, 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."
