Chapter 52 Guests from the County
Qin Mian was secretly shocked, and remained calm and collected, "This point is indeed hard to understand. However, Lei Family had no power, no influence, and no money. Miss Wei was once a capable Maidservant of a large family.
"That's true." Lei Xianglee and Lei Xiangzhi were no longer conflicted.
This afternoon, Lei Xianglee and Lei Xiangzhi were helping out in the shop, greatly alleviating the pressure on them. The brothers were shocked to see many of the townspeople bringing bowls of their own to eat. In fact, many customers suggested that Qin Mian and some of them should expand or change stores to even bigger ones, but one, there was no chance. Two, Qin Mian didn't have that kind of energy for now, and it wouldn't be long before the new year. We'll talk about it later.
In the evening, the four of them ate hot, spicy hotpot at the restaurant and went home together in the ox-cart. Because today's food was sold fast, when he returned to the village, the sun had just set.
Qin Mian let Lei Tia drive the ox-cart all the way to the entrance of the old house. He didn't deny that it was just a joke that he wanted to see the Madam Du.
The food in the old house was served.
Qin Mian carried a basket of vegetables in and said with a smile hanging on his face: "Father, Mother, are you guys about to start eating? It looks like we came back at the right time. Brother Tia and I have brought back many dishes for you guys. Dad and my little brothers can have a few cups.
Lei Tia carried a pot of soup and went in with him.
Qin Mian indicated for Lei Tia to place the soup on the women's table, and intentionally looked at Madam Du's face, "Mother, this is our store's hotpot soup, it is made from bones, and it is extremely fragrant. I also brought back some meatballs, mutton, pork, chicken and fish, and it was delicious in this soup. "
Lei Xiangzhi touched his chin. Why did he feel that his sister-in-law had come back to "show off her strength"? Raising his head to look at his big brother's eyes, who was filled with an almost imperceptible pampering and indulgence, he could only helplessly shake his head slightly.
Qin Mian did indeed have the intention to agitate the Madam Du, so he generously brought back a lot of meat dishes, enough for his entire family to be full.
Madam Du's gaze swept across all kinds of meat dishes. She was neither happy nor angry, and was speechless for a long time.
Qin Mian felt extremely relieved.
Only now did Lei Xiangren know that Lei Xianglee and Lei Xiangzhi had gone to Lei Tia's shop. He regretted not going with them, so he quickly went over. Wife, why don't you go to the charcoal stove and get a clean pot? Third Sister-in-Law, go get some wine. "
"Sigh." Mrs Zhao swallowed her saliva and turned to head to the kitchen.
Madam Qian followed him.
Lei Daqiang coughed lightly, "Boss, have you and your wife eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, let's eat together. "
Lei Tia said indifferently: "Yes, I have. "My wife is leaving."
"Alright. Father, mother, let's go back. " Qin Mianxin waved goodbye and left with Lei Tia.
Sitting on the oxcart, he couldn't help but hum a song.
"You're in a good mood?" Lei Tia asked.
"Ordinary." Qin Mian continued to laugh, and seemingly said carelessly, "When Miss Wei enters, how about we add a hotpot for each table? This will also let the villagers see. Even if we are forced to score for our families, we will still take the two elders to heart. "
Lei Tia held onto his hand, his chest was heating up, as he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll listen to you."
After a few days, the Madam Du seemed to have quieted down. Qin Mian then stopped thinking about the old house.
On this day, Qin Mian went to the kitchen to prepare all the ingredients and opened up a shop.
Lei Tia faintly looked towards the door, wiped the water off his hands and then leisurely walked over.
Qin Mian looked at the few people waiting outside the door, puzzled.
There were a total of three people who were here, a young man about 25 or 26 years old dressed in a white cotton robe, with a snow-white fox fur collar, and a piece of expensive white jade hanging from his waist. With one glance, Qin Mian could tell that they were young masters from a rich family.
To his left was a middle-aged man in his early forties. He was dressed in grey and looked like a steward.
On the right of the young master was a seventeen or eighteen year old youth dressed as a attendant.
"Lil 'Six, Lil' Shun, entertain the guests." Qin Mian shouted to the people behind him.
"He's coming." Zheng Liu quickly ran out, "Welcome, esteemed guests, I wonder if you would like to eat hotpot, barbecue or some other food?"
The young master did not pay attention to him. He glanced at Lei Tia and returned his gaze to Qin Mian. "You're the owner of this shop?"
"Exactly," Qin Mian smiled lightly, "If young master is not here to eat, then please step aside, do not block the other guests."
attendant glared, "How dare you!"
Lei Tia frowned.
Qin Mian said sternly: "You're the one who is brazen! Before your master could speak, you, a servant, had already interjected. If you are my attendant, you will immediately slap his face twenty times. "
attendant's face changed, he secretly looked at the young noble's face and quickly lowered his head.
Zheng Liu looked at his boss in admiration. This young master had an extraordinary demeanor, with one look at him, he could tell that his boss was not afraid at all.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please step aside." Qin Mian urged.
The young master looked at Qin Mian with interest, then sat down at the nearest table and said, "Let's eat hotpot."
Zheng Liu seized the chance to speak, "If you want to eat hotpot, please come in and take a seat. The table outside is for guests eating spicy hot food and barbecue. "
The young master said again, "Oh, it's cooler outside. In that case, we'll eat the spicy hot sauce and barbecue. "Chunsheng, go order."
attendant respectfully replied, "Yes, Young Master."
Qin Mian returned to the counter, and Lei Tia returned to the side of the pot.
"Most of them are from the base material formula." Qin Mian whispered to Lei Tia.
Lei Tia said indifferently: "I'm here."
The young master ordered a barbecue and a spicy hot spicy perm and served them on the table. Qin Mian noticed that he and the middle aged man had both picked up a spoon first to scoop up a spoonful of soup and drink.
They were not the first to do so.
Qin Mian was not worried about them tasting the ingredients for the soup. His ingredients used some seasonings that normal people did not use, as well as the pepper that no one had ever used as seasoning.
"How is it?" The young man asked softly.
The middle-aged man said in a low voice, "This subordinate is ashamed, I can only try eight things."
The young man's eyes revealed a look of shock, but he didn't say anything else. He then picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the dishes in the Ma La Pao.
"Little Shun Zi, it seems like there have been a lot of workers in the town these two days. What's going on?" Qin Mian's gaze swept past the four guests who were covered in mud and asked Wang Shun. Not only were there large amounts of customers in the restaurant, but the business in the other restaurants in the town was better than before.
Wang Shun said: "Little Boss doesn't know? Every autumn and winter, the water level of the river would drop. Before the ice age began, the government would organize a large number of people to clean up the six rivers. The workers had all gone to the Liuquan River to clean up the silt. The lowest amount of money a day could earn was around 20 yuan. I did the same thing last year. " The Six Winding River was the biggest river in the county, and the small river of Qingshan Village was the branch of the Six Winding River.
"Oh?" Qin Mian immediately asked, "How far is the Six Suo River from here? "How long will the silt removal process last?"
Wang Shun asked and answered, "In the past, it would always be about half a month; the Six Suo River is a little far away, so it would at least take half an hour to walk."
"Then what if they have lunch?" Qin Mian asked again.
Wang Shun said: "Most people bring their own food. If you have a car, you can come to the town to eat."
Qin Mian's eyes flashed, he squeezed to Lei Tia's side and whispered: "The idea to earn money is here."
Lei Tia asked as he raised his eyebrows. In fact, his work was not that heavy. All he needed to do was to place the dishes chosen by the guests into a spatula, then pour them into a bowl after cooking, then add the soup and garlic into the bowl.
"This idea is for the old house. When we go back, tell Old Third and the Lao Si. As for whether they tell the others or not, it's none of our business. "
Lei Tia nodded, and touched his head.
The young man raised his head and looked at the two of them, who were laughing at each other. He was going to wait until there were fewer customers before he could talk to the owner of the shop, but there were so many seats that he had to get up and walk over.
"The two of you, this one is Nie Heng, from Zhaoyang County. Do you have time to talk? I intend to buy the recipe for your soup. "
Lei Tia looked at Qin Mian.
Nie Heng also looked towards Qin Mian.
Qin Mian cupped his hands at Nie Heng, "It is my honor to meet you, Young Master Nie. Since Young Master Nie is so honest, I have something to say. Until next May, we have no plans to sell the formula. It can be seen that Young Master Nie is a smart person, he must also know that the Ma La Pi and the hotpot rely on the weather to eat. " He and Lei Tia were one on one, and did not have the thought of monopolizing each other forever.
Nie Heng frowned, "In other words, after May next year, Boss Qin and Boss Lei will sell the formula."
Qin Mian's pupils contracted. This person had investigated him and Lei Tia.
"I do have this intention, but I don't have a specific plan for now." Qin Mian said.
Nie Heng pondered for a while, and said: "Since that's the case, then I hope that the two bosses can prioritize me when the time comes."
Qin Mian smiled lightly: "If Young Master Nie is interested, we'll meet again next May."
Nie Heng gave him a deep glance and confirmed that this youth was not simple. Then, the man standing by the youth's side with a protective posture was definitely not simple.
"Sure." Nie Heng reminded him out of good intentions, "There isn't just one person who shares the same thoughts as me, they might not be as magnanimous as I am. If the formula were really in someone else's hands, I think I would be very sorry. "
Lei Tia suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was calm but cold, sounding out like thunder, "Try it."
Nie Heng slightly nodded, and after indicating that the attendant should pay, he brought the attendant and the middle aged man and left.
