Transmigration: To Be His Man

Qin Mian took the rope from Lei Tia and said to him: "Go and call Third Brother and Fourth Younger Brother over. I'll tell them in detail."

Lei Tia nodded and with a lift of his long leg, he jumped down from the oxcart that was still moving.

A few villagers followed him curiously. The news that Lei Tia knew martial arts had already spread, and this kind of person made them feel both respect and fear.

Everyday when he returned home, the first thing Qin Mian did was to boil some water to wash up. Just as the firewood in the furnace was burning, Lei Tia came back.

"Third brother and Fourth Younger Brother have gone to clean up the silt as well. They are eating right now and will be coming over in a moment." Lei Tia took the firewood from Qin Mian's hand and sat down in front of the stove.

The weather was getting colder, and everything was cold. Qin Mian was happy for him to help, so he stuffed both of his hands into his pockets.

"Second Brother didn't go?"

"Nope."

I knew it. Qin Mian was someone that Qin Mian could not bear to see.

"You didn't tell your third brother or Fourth Younger Brother what it was about, right?"

Lei Tia said: "I only said that I have something important to find him for."

"That's good." Qin Mian turned around and opened the cupboard. He took out the peels that he would need to grind later and weighed them one by one before putting them aside. These ingredients should be ground before bedtime for use the next day.

The two of them continued with their tasks at hand. Although they did not talk, the atmosphere in the kitchen was calm and warm.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, we're here."

Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee walked in one after the other, both with their necks hunched, their hands in their sleeves.

"It's getting colder and colder."

"You're here." Qin Mian did not stand on ceremony with them, "The water is not ready yet, I will not pour any tea for you. "Sit in the living room."

Lei Xiangyi sat on the soft sofa, he quietly felt for a while, then sat upright and asked curiously: Brother said you have something to talk to us about, what is it?

Qin Mian sat on the sofa, "I heard from your big brother that you guys went to the Six Suo River to clean up the silt in the past two days? Were there many people who went there? "

Lei Xiangyi said, "Today is the third day. "There are a lot of people. I don't think sister-in-law knows that the Liuzhou River is very wide and long. The government employs a lot of people every year to clear it."

"It must be hard." Qin Mian asked again, "How did all those people get their lunch?"

"Basically, they all bring their own food. The part of the river we are in charge of is a little far from the town; it's close to the uptown, but most people still bring their own dry food. " Lei Xianglee vaguely guessed something, "Sister-in-law, why do you ask?"

Qin Mian smiled, "Today in town I suddenly thought of a way to earn money, so I'll tell you guys. If you are willing to do it, you will make more money than you would if you were to do it, and it will be easier. "

Lei Xianglee's eyes lit up and he immediately replied, "Of course I'm willing. What is it? "

Lei Xiangyi's face was also filled with joy, "Qing Qing stood barefoot in the water, you've suffered greatly. Of course it's good to have a lighter idea. "

Qin Mian did not beat around the bush, "My idea is that you guys can make some hot soup and sell it by the Six Rhythm River. The workers spent so much time in the water, and they could only gnaw on dry rations at noon, nothing was more beautiful than a mouthful of hot soup. You can borrow a car, just take the pots and bowls of firewood, buy some bones or turnips or potatoes from the town, and stew a big pot. If you want to be generous, you can add some minced meat. "Even if a bowl of soup is sold for only a single cent, you can still earn quite a bit a day.

"That's a good idea." Lei Xiangyi clapped his hands, he could not help but wish that he could immediately drive to town when the sun was up, "Bones are cheap, they are not worth much, at most it would cost some firewood, so the cost of the soup is not high. There's profit! "

Lei Xianglee was equally happy, "There are at least four to five hundred people scouring the river, even if there are only a hundred people willing to spend money, we can still earn a hundred gold coins, so after deducting the cost, there should at least be sixty to seventy people left."

Of the two, one wanted to earn private money to support his wife and daughter, and the other wanted to earn private money to get married, Qin Mian's idea was like offering coal in the snow.

Qin Mian smiled lightly, "I've already told you my idea. As for whether or not you guys want to tell the others is up to you. "

Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee both knew that he was extremely disgusted with some people from the old house and did not take offense to it.

Lei Tia came out of the kitchen and sat beside Qin Mian, "One car is not enough, borrow another. If you go out with us every day, I can lend you the ox-cart. Just bring it back before the shop closes. "

"Thank you, big brother." Lei Xianglee and Lei Xiangyi thanked him in unison.

Lei Xianglee hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qin Mian, "Currently, there is no one selling soup by the river, but I think that once we go there, it would be hard to guarantee that others will follow suit. By then, the soup would be harder to sell, unless the taste was better. "I know that elder brother's elder sister-in-law's soup has a secret recipe. Elder brother and elder sister, can you sell some of the concocted soup to us and add it to our soup?"

Qin Mian was a little shocked. Lei Xianglee had the brains of a businessman to think so far ahead.

Lei Xiangyi also looked at Qin Mian with hope.

Qin Mian looked at Lei Tia.

Lei Tia did not hesitate, "You lead."

Qin Mian smiled at him in satisfaction.

Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee both looked away, a little embarrassed.

Qin Mian thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright. However, those seasonings are not easy to concoct, so I can only sell you with a small pot every day. Friendship was friendship, and benefit was benefit. By putting on a brotherly gesture today, he could avoid the future conflicts between the two families over money. He, Lei Tia, Lei Xiangyi, and the others had a good relationship.

Although he had taken the initiative to offer to pay, Lei Xianglee did not think that Qin Mian would accept the money without even saying a few polite words of rejection. He felt a bit uncomfortable, then thinking about it, the two families had already split up, so it was better for them to know about each other's money, so as to not ruin the relationship between brothers in the future. Moreover, the idea to earn money was actually Qin Mian's idea. When he thought about this, he felt relieved.

The two brothers were in a hurry to go back and discuss the details. They thanked Qin Mian and Lei Tia once again and agreed to leave together the next morning.

After daybreak, Qin Mian did not feel surprised at all when he saw that Lei Xiangren, Madame Zhao and Madam Qian had appeared together with them.

Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee's smiles were a little forced. It was impossible for them to hide such a huge matter from others. Furthermore, they had to take money from the Madam Du to buy firewood and vegetables, so they had to go to the Six Rhythm River to sell the soup. Lei Xiangren and Lei Xianglee didn't want them to go together, but they could do nothing about it since Lei Daqiang and Madam Du had a strong attitude and there was nothing they could do about it.

Madam Qian's expression turned even uglier. She could tell that her eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law liked her more than his husband, Lei Xianglee and Lei Xiangzhi. His eldest sister-in-law's idea was obviously to help and her husband, Fourth Younger Brother. At this moment, the thought of splitting up her family became even more intense. If they were to split up, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee would only need to split the money they earned.

It was unknown what Mrs Zhao was thinking, but from time to time she secretly glared at Madam Qian and Lei Xiangyi.

Qin Mian turned a blind eye to the quiet between them and passed over the small pot that he had prepared a long time ago to Lei Xianglee. There were no Spirit Spring Water s nor were there any other types of seasonings in the pot, but it was good enough.

Qin Mian jumped onto the oxcart.

Mrs Zhao wanted to get in the same car as him, and secretly look at what was in the big jar. However, Qin Mian was already prepared for that.

Mrs Zhao cursed silently. She could only give up and return to the donkey cart that she had borrowed. There were also pots, stoves, two baskets of bowls and chopsticks, as well as other items such as soy sauce and vinegar.

The two cars left the village at a leisurely pace in the morning light.

Qin Mian took out two warm bamboo tubes from his backpack and passed one to Lei Tia: "Here."

"Hold the warm hand first." Lei Tia said.

"I'm wearing a lot today, so I'm not cold." Qin Mian unscrewed the bamboo tube and gave it to him. He got up early and made a small pot of broth in a charcoal stove. After the water was boiled, he poured it all into the flour while stirring it with chopsticks. After boiling, he added the minced meat and tender green vegetables leaves, and after boiling again, he slowly poured the scrambled eggs into the pot. Finally, he added some oil and salt as well as some hotpot seasonings. The method could not be simpler, but the taste was very delicious. He took a sip, savored the fragrance, and felt his stomach grow warm.

The two of them drank the soup from two bamboo tubes that were exactly the same. When we get to town, we'll have three or four steamed buns.

Lei Xiangren and the others who were behind saw it and smelled it too, feeling extremely envious.

His big brother being able to marry this man's wife might not be a bad luck. Lei Xianglee lamented in his heart, inexplicably thinking that his wife would treat him very well in the future. Her face was burning red, and with a dry cough, she flung away her charming and gentle thoughts.

"Fourth Younger Brother, what's wrong?" Lei Xiangren casually asked as he glanced at his.

"I'm fine." Lei Xianglee said perfunctorily.

Lei Xiangren tried to get closer to Lei Tia, "Big Brother, how's your business recently?"

Lei Tia said indifferently: "It's alright."

Lei Xiangren laughed: Why are you being so modest, Big Brother? I hear your store is full of customers every day. "You can earn at least two to three silver taels a day, right?"

Qin Mian said with a smile, "What does this little shop of ours count for? I heard that the restaurant in the town is getting a lot of money every day. Unfortunately, no matter how much others earn, it belongs to them. Outsiders ca

ot be envious. "

Lei Xiangren could hear the hidden meaning in his words. He choked and stared angrily at the back of Qin Mian's head. But Qin Mian was not wrong, he could only laugh dryly.

Lei Xiangyi tried to smooth things over, "Second Brother, when we arrive at the town later, we will split up. You guys go buy firewood while I and Fourth Younger Brother go buy vegetables." The firewood was cheap. It wasn't worth it to pull it all the way from home to town and from there to the river, so they decided to buy it directly from town.
