Chapter 111 Unlucky Lei Xiangli
"The villagers all know that you are very kind to the servants and servants." The smile on Chen San's wife's face grew wider, and her voice lightened up a little. "I heard that your servants give out some meat every month, and live better than some villagers."
Qin Mian did not accept her words, he only smiled.
"Third Uncle Chen, this is a deal?" I'll let you know when the winery starts. "
"Alright, alright." Third Uncle Chen rubbed his hands and smiled.
After Qin Mian and Lei Tia left, a few villagers ran over to the Chen family household to inquire about the news.
On the way back, he passed the tofu workshop. Although he said it was a workshop, in reality, it was a shop with a window in the family's living room. A thousand tofu dishes, bean curd, and so on were placed on the window, and anyone who passed by would be able to see them.
Qin Mian saw that the female boss of the tofu factory had brought out a plate of tofu that he had just made, "It's been a long time since I last ate tofu."
The Lady Boss laughed. "Then I'll buy two catties of it. Fried, fried, and boiled. They're all delicious!"
Qin Mian walked over and asked Lei Tia, "Buy two kilograms of tofu and two kilograms of tofu?"
Lei Tia took off the bag hanging on his belt.
The Lady Boss pursed her lips into a smile at Qin Mian, indicating that she wanted to say something.
Qin Mian's expression did not change, but remained calm and collected.
The Lady Boss skillfully cut the tofu into 1000 pieces. "Two kilograms of tofu is accurate. A thousand pieces is two kilograms and two taels is two kilograms." A total of seven coins. "
Lei Tia took out seven copper coins and placed it on the counter, then picked up the wrapped tofu and a thousand sheets. This action made the Lady Boss smile kindly.
"Take care."
The boss of the tofu factory sleepily rubbed his stomach as he walked out from the house, "I'm starving to death, why aren't you cooking?"
"Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat all day!" The Lady Boss's slender fingers fiercely poked his forehead, "Look at how nice Lei Tia is to his son's wife, he is just short of holding it in his hands. And you! Your wife is a soft and charming woman, yet you don't know how to cherish her! "
The owner avoided her hand, looked at her thick waist and fat buttocks, and giggled. I can't tell. "
"What did you say?" The Lady Boss put her hands on her waist and glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes.
"No, nothing." The owner immediately sagged and laughed dryly, "It's soft, it's lovely. To cook? "
"Humph!"
Qin Mian raised his eyebrows and stared at Lei Tia. Lei Tia did not even glance at him, his head full of thoughts.
Qin Mian could not help but laugh. He could hear the conversation behind him, and he couldn't believe that Lei Tia didn't hear it.
There was no wind today. Under the scorching sunlight, the withered leaves were suffused with a golden glow. The ground was scorching hot as if it could produce smoke. Knowing that in the leaves indefatigable chirping, one higher than the other.
Qin Mian's face was burning up from the sun as he quickened his pace. "Eat cold vegetables and pickled vegetables for lunch."
Lei Tia walked to his right side and blocked out a portion of the sunlight, "The stewed beef is not bad."
Qin Mianxin felt his head go soft. He grabbed his big hands and pulled him away, "I'll make you a stewed beef and a braised beef."
After entering the courtyard, Lei Qin Yuan said that Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Chuntao had arrived.
Qin Mian remembered that it was once again the end of the month.
Lei Chuntao and Lei Xiangzhi stood in the shade of the maple tree and spoke.
"Big brother, sister-in-law."
Qin Mian pushed open the door, "The door isn't locked, why didn't you go in to take a seat? "Come on in."
"It's also good to be out in the wind." Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Chuntao followed him in. This was a courtesy, no one was home, how could they just casually walk in?
Lei Tia went to the kitchen and put down the dishes.
"Tia, soak the tofu in the water and sprinkle some salt." Qin Mian instructed.
Lei Tia asked from the inside, "How much salt?"
"Just a pinch."
All of the aunts quickly came over and placed the washed and sliced fruits on the table. "Fifth Young Master, Young Miss, please enjoy your meal."
Lei Chuntao thanked him with a depressed look in her eyes.
Qin Mian first went to change into a pair of grass slippers. After passing the two plates of fruits to them, he sat down on the bamboo chair and waved his fan, "Why are you all frowning?"
"Thank you, sister-in-law. The house is too noisy, so we came out to get some fresh air. " Lei Chuntao held the fruit plate and sighed, secretly sizing up his big brother and elder sister-in-law. Their clothes were strange, but they gave her a feeling of ease that made her envious.
"What?" Qin Mian casually asked.
Lei Chuntao was someone who couldn't hide his words, "Mother and Fourth Brother. She wanted Fourth Brother to marry her second cousin to her first aunt. Since the Fourth Brother was unwilling, the two of them started arguing. Second Cousin, she ?? I really don't understand what Mother is thinking! " As she spoke, her expression unconsciously revealed a bit of disgust towards the Madam Du.
The "first uncle" she mentioned was obviously not the same as Lei Tia's first uncle, but was instead the blood brother of the Madam Du.
Qin Mian sympathized with Lei Xianglee. He glanced at Lei Xiangzhi who had a calm expression, and said indifferently: "You don't understand, your fifth brother should understand."
Lei Chuntao looked at Lei Xiangzhi in astonishment and asked closely: "Fifth brother, why did mother do this?"
Lei Xiangzhi might not be willing to say that the Madam Du was in the wrong in front of him and Lei Tia, so he was prepared to change the topic.
Lei Xiangzhi sighed lightly and opened his mouth, his voice calm, "It has to do with Fourth Brother wanting to split his family. Mother was worried about the Fourth Brother ?? "I was separated from her, so ??"
Lei Chuntao wrinkled her nose, "What? Just for this reason, Mother wants Fourth Brother to marry her second cousin? Although Second Cousin Sister is beautiful, she is pampered and lazy. Wouldn't marrying her to the Fourth Brother be harming the Fourth Brother?! Mother is thinking too much too. Fourth Brother is her son, how could he be estranged from her? "
Lei Xiangzhi laughed bitterly. He also wanted to know what his mother was thinking. It was one thing to force his big brother away, but did she still want to force his own son away?
"Mother was just wrong in a moment. I will advise her." He said in a deep voice, "If we let second cousin in, it will destroy the Fourth Brother."
Qin Mian did not express any objections.
Lei Tia slightly lowered his head and helped his wife peel the fruits, as if he didn't hear the conversation between Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Xiangzhi.
Lei Chuntao was in the mood to eat fruits.
Lei Xiangzhi cast aside his negative emotions, "Sister-in-law, there's another reason why I'm here today. Several of my classmates want to buy fruit for Leisurely Dwelling House. I told them before that the fruits of Leisurely Dwelling House were not to be sold to outsiders, but they insisted that I ask you again, so I asked for them. "
"Those schoolmates are all on good terms with you, right? It was just that the business at Shuangzhuan Restaurant was getting better and better, so the peaches he picked everyday were basically sent to his Shuangzhuan Restaurant. "Even your big brother and I rarely eat." Qin Mian was in a bit of a difficult situation, "How about this, before August comes to an end, I will give them some food. However, the price won't be low. " Even though they knew that the fruits of Leisurely Dwelling House were expensive, they still bought them. It could be seen that their schoolmates were all rich people.
Lei Xiangzhi knew that his sister-in-law was giving him face, and laughed: "Thank you, sister-in-law. They said the price is not a problem. "
Qin Mian nodded slightly.
Lei Xiangzhi took out a scroll from his sleeve, "Big brother, sister-in-law, this is a new painting I made. If you think it's passable, you can hang it at home."
Qin Mian opened the scroll and saw a corner of the Leisurely Dwelling House. The color was bright and beautiful, the brush strokes were vivid and lifelike, as if it was going to fly out from the painting.
"Good painting!" Qin Mian praised, "Why is there no title? When Fifth Brother becomes the top scholar in the future, this painting will have to rise in value. "
Lei Xiangzhi's face turned red, his eyes were brimming with confidence, "I am indebted to elder sister-in-law for thinking so highly of me, I will do my best."
Lei Tia took the Four Treasures from the study, Lei Xiangzhi added the title, and hung the painting in the living room.
"You two siblings rarely come here, so why don't you have lunch here?" Qin Mian said.
Lei Chuntao nodded, "Sister-in-law's skills are good, little sister will not be courteous."
Lei Xiangzhi cupped his hands at Qin Mian, "Sorry for the trouble."
Qin Mian stood up, "Tia, go to the garden and pick some vegetables."
Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Chuntao also stood up.
"We'll go with big brother."
"Sure, pick whatever you like." Tia, pick a pumpkin over here. " Qin Mian took out two baskets and handed it over to Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Chuntao.
"Yes."
In the garden, eggplant, cucumber, green pepper, winter melon, potato, Luffa, balsam pear, tomato, pumpkin, lettuce, leek, etc. The cucumbers were slender and tender, while the tomatoes were like small red lanterns ?? All of the vegetables were full of life and vitality, Lei Chuntao felt that a pair of eyes was not enough.
"Fifth brother, look at the vegetables in elder sister-in-law's house. They look really good. They don't even have a single eye."
Lei Xiangzhi looked around and nodded in agreement, "I guess so. Otherwise, Shuangzhuan Restaurant's business wouldn't be so hot."
Lei Tia picked a large pumpkin and held it with one hand, "I'll go back first. Pick whatever you like. "
"Thank you, big brother." Lei Chuntao flew over like a yellow butterfly and picked her favorite tomato.
Qin Mian made 1000 pieces of silk, beef and tofu mixed with skin and eggs first at home. Lei Tia brought back a pumpkin and cooked it into a pumpkin pie. It was not yet noon, and there was plenty of time.
"Sister-in-law, we are back." Lei Chuntao's light voice came out, the first to enter the house.
Lei Xiangzhi walked behind while carrying the two vegetable baskets.
"Sister-in-law has already cooked three dishes?" Lei Chuntao glanced at the table and shyly said, "We have picked too many dishes."
Qin Mian looked at the dishes in the two baskets, "It's alright. Since it's something that you guys like to eat, then eat more in a moment. "You two can sit down for a while. If you're hungry, then eat some fruits."
Just when Lei Chuntao was about to say that she would help, she saw Lei Tia carrying two vegetable baskets and followed Qin Mian into the kitchen before sitting back down.
After making the pumpkin pie, Qin Mian also made the braised beef, tomato beef soup, spicy powder, leek and egg pancakes, the cucumber fried meat and the spicy and sour potato shredded meat. Including the pumpkin pie, there were a total of ten dishes, which was comparable to the New Year's Day.
Lei Chuntao and Lei Xiangzhi helped to place the dishes on the table.
"How fragrant." Lei Chuntao laughed as she praised.
"Aooo."
Only then did Qin Mian realize that Lei Xianglee was standing outside the door with a blank expression. It was unknown how long he had been standing there for.
Lei Qin Yuan stood behind him and quickly walked up, "Please forgive me, Eldest Young Master and Young Master. I was going to inform you ??"
Lei Xianglee quickly said: "Big brother, sister-in-law, I did not want him to inform me. I was pla
ing to leave after standing for a while."
Qin Mian gestured for Lei Qin Yuan to retreat and called out, "Fourth Younger Brother, why aren't you coming in?"
Lei Xianglee wiped his face and walked in, his face still had a look of exhaustion, feeling a little awkward: "Big brother, sister-in-law. "I really don't want to stay at home, and I don't know where I can go. I just walked here ??"
Qin Mian patted his shoulder sympathetically, "You haven't eaten yet, right?"
Lei Xianglee shook his head and said in a daze, "No."
Lei Tia went to the kitchen to fetch a bowl and chopsticks.
"Thank you, Big Brother." Lei Xianglee sat down beside Lei Chuntao.
"Fourth Brother, are you alright?" Lei Chuntao asked in a low voice.
"I'm fine." Lei Xianglee sighed silently.
Qin Mian indicated, "Eat."
Lei Tia first gave his daughter-in-law a few chopsticks before starting to eat. Qin Mian added some beef with brine onto Lei Tia's chopsticks.
Lei Xianglee, Lei Xiangzhi and Lei Chuntao were all stu
ed for a moment. Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-Law's actions were extremely natural; it was obvious that they had done so many times before. When a family loves each other, that is the true home. Unlike their home, everyone ate fast during meals, afraid that they would eat less than others. Sometimes, they would even fight over food without a trace of warmth.
