Transmigration: To Be His Man-Chapter 124 Make Money in Winter
After Lei Daqiang finished speaking, the Precinct Head did as he said and wrote it down once, but no one had any objections. Lei Xiangzhi helped Precinct Head to copy a few copies. Precinct Head, Lei Daqiang, Lei Xiangren, Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xianglee and the others all took one copy.
Lei Xiangzhi kept what he said, and immediately passed a banknote worth one hundred silvers to Lei Xiangren.
Lei Daqiang and Madam Du stared at the banknotes eagerly.
Lei Xiangren read the few big words, but he still gave Precinct Head a chance to recognize them before he kept them in his arms. He smiled at Madame Zhao, with his head held high, using his nose to look at others, giving others a different feeling.
The Precinct Head stood up and said his goodbyes. Qin Mian and Lei Tia took the opportunity to leave with the Precinct Head.
Lei Xiangren could not wait and opened his mouth, "Father, Mother, I will be born in a few months, Third Sister-in-Law has a body now, a family living together is too crowded. I'm going to buy a house right now and try to get it built and moved out by the end of the year. "
Lei Daqiang looked at him for a long time and nodded.
Lei Xiangyi said in a low voice, "Father, Mother, I will also move out as soon as possible."
Lei Daqiang frowned, "Where should we move out?"
Lei Xiangyi laughed, "Thank you for your concern, Father. I plan to build two adobe houses to live in first and then save some money. "
After all, he was his own son, so Lei Daqiang took him seriously, "How can two rooms be enough? How about this, second brother, lend your third brother some money and let him build two more rooms. "
"Dad, don't look at these hundred silver taels, I have to build a house, buy furniture, and send Da Bao and Er Bao to school. Lei Xiangren gave Lei Xiangyi an idea, "Third brother, why don't you borrow some from big brother's house? Big brother and sister-in-law do not lack money."
"Yeah." Mrs Zhao agreed.
Lei Xiangyi shook his head: "No need, I have already decided, I will first build two adobe rooms."
Madam Qian did not interrupt. She would definitely not reveal the matter of Qin Mian and Lei Tia borrowing ten silver for them.
After Qin Mian and Lei Tia returned home, they continued to wrap the dumplings. The dumpling stuffing was made from ground vegetables, lean meat and fried dough sticks. It was fresh and fragrant. After eating, the two of them entered the space.
The brown bear was still recuperating in the space. Its injuries had mostly healed, so it was still able to play around with a little white in the space.
Lei Tia thought that Qin Mian would first look at the brown bear, but he only saw him walking straight to the flower bed, extending his hand out and gently stroking it.
The two Pink Ball had been completely separated, they were chubby and extremely cute. When Qin Mian and Lei Tia touched them, their color immediately became vivid and interesting.
Qin Mian was unable to describe his current feeling. The two Pink Ball seemed to be co
ected to his heart veins, and even outside the space, he could still emotionally sense their "emotions".
Lei Tia scooped up a spoonful of Spirit Spring Water and handed it over to him, then stared at the two Pink Ball thoughtfully before turning his head to look at Qin Mian.
Qin Mian was scared by his gaze, "What are you looking at?"
"You."
Qin Mian said calmly: "Continue. "The brown bear's wounds have healed. We'll send him back up the mountain now." ""The idea of keeping the brown bear was a joke.
The two of them walked out and headed towards the back of the mountain. Since he had already saved the brown bear, he could not kill it in case it went down the mountain and hurt someone. The two of them walked deep into the mountains and released the brown bear along with a little white dot.
Little White realised that the scenery in its surroundings had changed. It knew that it had left the space, and understood that its master was releasing the brown bear. It howled a few times at the brown bear, and followed Qin Mian and Lei Tia to leave.
The brown bear stood still for a moment, then turned around and walked away. Its huge body disappeared into the forest.
The next morning, Qin Mian was awoken by Lei Qinle's screams. When he asked the bear, he found out that it was carrying a wild goat that weighed forty odd kilograms on its back. It lay at the entrance silently, and Lei Qinle was startled when he opened the door early in the morning to clean the fallen leaves at the entrance.
Since then, the brown bear and a little white have become "domesticated." Every time the villagers mentioned Leisurely Dwelling House, their faces would turn weird. In the past, they would gather under a big tree not far away from the Leisurely Dwelling House to chat whenever they had something to do. Since the brown bear had settled down in the Qin Mian Family, they did not want to come even if they were beaten to death.
The servants of the Leisurely Dwelling House were initially terrified, but later on they realized that as long as they did not provoke the brown bear, it would not care about them at all.
Furthermore, he often didn't have a home when he had a girlfriend.
At the end of October, the oranges in the orchard began to ripen. The fruit period of a sweet orange is from October to December, and the late ripening variety lasts through February to April of the following year. Leisurely Dwelling House entered another busy season.
Qin Mian hired someone to make 5000 ca
ed sweet oranges, five vats of sweet orange paste and twenty vats of orange juice for sale in the spring and summer. At the same time, Shuangzhuan Restaurant released the orange cake, orange soup and sweet orange rice wine juice.
November was the season for harvesting lotus roots. Lei Qinzhong, Lei Qinshun and the rest of them had trained for a few months not only to learn self-defense, but also archery, riding, and swimming skills. They are in charge of the lotus root digging.
There were a few more dishes on Shuangzhuan Restaurant's menu and at Qin Mian Family's table. Lotus root soup, fried lotus root, osmanthus root, sweet and sour lotus root, chili sauce lotus root, lotus seed, etc.
Because their families were busy, Lei Xiangren and Lei Xiangyi did not help in building the new house. It was only when Lei Xiangyi came to invite Qin Mian and to a warm room for di
er did Qin Mian suddenly remember that the matter of the old residence's branch family was settled.
The house that Lei Xiangyi bought was in the south of the village. On the base of the three rooms, there were two adobe rooms, one for the kitchen, one for the side room of Lei Xiangyi and Madam Qian, and the other for the hall room. There was a pile of firewood outside.
After finishing their warm room food and sending off the other guests, Lei Xiangyi left Qin Mian and Qin Mian to stay for a while.
After the Madam Qian poured some tea for Qin Mian and the others, she sat down quietly and started to make her clothes.
Qin Mian asked about the matter of burning coal, "I heard that you guys have already started cooking, have you ever sold any?"
Lei Xiangyi had a very relaxed expression, "I started burning it a month ago. The first batch weighed over 3,200 kilograms. Because it was a smokeless charcoal, the first batch was sold for more than 25 taels of silver. Since Second Brother split the firewood he cut into five taels, Fourth Younger Brother and I got ten taels each. It's all thanks to elder brother and elder sister-in-law for taking care of us. I won't say much more. If elder brother and elder sister-in-law need me in the future, feel free to speak! Also, Fourth Younger Brother and I have discussed this with each other. When the second batch of charcoal is out, we will send 500 Jin over to Big Brother and Big Sis. "
Qin Mian nodded, "Since Third Brother and Fourth Younger Brother have this intention, I will accept it. However, since the prescription is yours, it has nothing to do with us. The matter of the prescription is over. "
Lei Xiangren's house was bought at the eastern side of the village. It was the first house at the entrance, separated from the old house by four houses. The house base was not small, Qin Mian estimated that it would cost at least fifteen silver coins. Lei Xiangren's house started to build almost at the same time as Lei Xiangyi's, but his house was bigger, its structure was more complex, the process was slower, and it would take four or five days to finish building it, but the layout could already be seen. Not only was there the front yard, there was also the back yard. The front door was built in a very stylish ma 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
er, like that of a large family in town. There were two inverted rooms on either side of the door, the main one in the middle, two on the left, one in the kitchen, one in the wing, and two on the right. There was a small door leading to the backyard. The chicken house, the pig house, the latrine and the vegetable garden were all in the backyard. Mrs Zhao had long since said that she would make a small garden in the front yard and invite everyone to be her guests.
After the house was built, it was quite impressive and was one of the best in the village. Mrs Zhao did indeed make a garden in the front yard and even went to Leisurely Dwelling House to ask for flowers. Qin Mian was too lazy to deal with her, he just had Little White and the brown bear to watch over them at the door. Mrs Zhao left resentfully, paid to go to the town to buy some flowers, and had Lei Xiangren dig on the mountain.
Lei Xiangren happily went down the mountain to dig for flowers, but carelessly treated a snake as a stick and bit it. Luckily, the snake was not poisonous, but Lei Xiangren's leg was swollen enough to lie at home for several days. This matter had become a joke that was passed around in Qingshan Village for several days.
The new house had been dry for less than half a month, and Lei Xiangren and Mrs Zhao couldn't wait to move into it.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia had once passed by this house and came to the conclusion after looking at the whole house from the outside ?? ?? Lei Xiangren had spent at least forty silver. However, this had nothing to do with them.
Two days later, Lei Xiangzhi's school holidays arrived, and he set a date for the warm room.
The reason why Qin Mian and Lei Tia had still been in contact with the old house before, was only because of Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xianglee, Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Chuntao. Now that Lei Xiangren had been separated, their relationship was even more distant. Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not have any intention to get to know each other better. With some excuse, they went to the town and did not eat warm food.
After returning from the town, Qin Mian heard from Lei Qinle that after Lei Xiangren and Madame Zhao received the congratulatory gift, they had said some weird things.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not mind at all. felt that talking to Lei Xiangren and Madame Zhao was a waste of saliva. He was sure that with Lei Xiangren and Madame Zhao's personalities, they would cause trouble sooner or later. He had already decided that he would gradually dilute the relationship between their family and Lei Xiangren's house. In the future, if he had the chance, he would completely break off the relationship so that he wouldn't be implicated in the future.
Lei Qinle also said one more thing: The matter of Lei Xiangren, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee partnering up to make charcoal had broken off. The main reason was that Lei Xiangren was always lazy and didn't chop wood often. Lei Xiangzhi suggested that they sell the recipe for the burning charcoal, and directly split the money. Initially, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee did not agree with the seller's plan. But later, Lei Xiangzhi persuaded them to burn another batch of charcoal and they pla
ed to sell the recipe.
Qin Mian did not inquire too much about this matter.
When they were almost into La Yue, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee sent five hundred kilograms of charcoal to the Leisurely Dwelling House.
The two of them took the initiative to mention the matter of selling the charcoal recipe to Lei Tia and Lei Tia. The charcoal recipe sold for a total of two hundred taels of silver. Lei Daqiang and Madame Zhao believed that the prescription was given by Qin Mian and Lei Tia before they split up their household. The two hundred silver was divided into five parts, Lei Daqiang, Lei Xiangren, Lei Xiangren, Lei Xianglee and Lei Xiangzhi had forty silver each. Lei Xiangzhi did not ask for the forty silver, but insisted on giving it to Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xianglee and Lei Chuntao. Lei Chuntao used ten liang to settle the dowry, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee exchanged 15 liang each. In their helplessness, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee could only accept it. However, they secretly decided to give it to Lei Xiangzhi when he attends the hometown examination in the future.
In the middle of the month, Qin Mian and Lei Tia transported the ca
ed yellow peach and ca
ed peach from the summer to the Shuangzhuan Restaurant. Each can was priced at one silver tael, and was sold for a limited amount of time every day.
The vegetables in the greenhouse were also begi
ing to ripen. There were bright red tomatoes, green leeks and amacas, green peppers and bitter gourds, fresh cucumbers, fat eggplants, and huge winter melons ?? It was a thriving scene. In winter, there were very few varieties of vegetables, so no one could stand eating those few dishes every day. When these summer vegetables appeared on the Shuangzhuan Restaurant menu, the entire Zhaoyang County was stirred. Even though the price of a plate of stir-fried Amaranthus was extremely expensive, the Shuangzhuan Restaurant s were still packed to the brim every day. Even the rich families of the neighboring counties often came to the Shuangzhuan Restaurant s to eat.
On this day, when the Manager Sun was on break, Qin Mian and Lei Tia went to the town to substitute for him. On the way, they sent him a basket of tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplants.
Lei Chuntao rushed over with a face full of joy, "Big brother, sister-in-law, Fourth Brother is getting engaged."
?? ?? End of Two Scrolls.
