| ← Ch.109 | Ch.111 → |
The driver's seat was also unique. It was designed as an armchair and had a special place for feet. He was not afraid of being uncomfortable if he stayed in the carriage for too long. In addition, there was a semicircular slider around the top of the shelter, with a tarp at each end that could be opened and closed like a sliding curtain. On both sides of the armchair were two fixed planks. If the interior of the carriage couldn't fit, there were two more people to sit on.
Lei Tia slowed down his car and asked: "My wife, how was it?"
"Very comfortable." Qin Mian opened the curtains in the small window, "Tia, I'm here to drive the carriage, why don't you give it a try?"
Lei Tia stopped his horse carriage and climbed onto the carriage. He looked down at the long table and asked, "How was the bed?"
An inharmonious scene appeared in Qin Mian's mind, his heartbeat became slower by a beat, "I've never tried it before."
Without saying a word, Lei Tia pulled up the table and flipped a mechanism. The long table slowly turned before it fell, and then joined together with the two sofas without a single gap.
Lei Tia's hands pushed him, causing him to fall on the bed and immediately jump up, anxiously looking out the window, "What, what? "There are so many people outside."
A trace of a smile swept across Lei Tia's deep eyes. His large palm lightly caressed his wife's face, and then he turned to get out of the car.
Qin Mian's mouth was agape and he was speechless for a long time. That is to say, he was thinking too much of himself?
After looking through the curtain and seeing Lei Tia return to the driver's seat, Qin Mian crawled over, raised the curtain and called out: "Tia."
Lei Tia turned his head, "What's wrong?"
Qin Mian hooked his fingers, gesturing for him to come closer, sucked on his lips, and quickly retreated.
Lei Tia looked at the swaying curtain, took a deep breath and turned to look ahead.
Qin Mian opened the car door, climbed over to his side and sat down.
Lei Tia shook the reins, and the sounds of horse hooves hitting the ground echoed. Slowly, they approached the crowd under the Pagoda tree. A few curious villagers looked at him.
Qin Mian jumped down from the horse carriage and greeted the villagers, "What are you talking about?"
Sister Zhang laughed: "I'm talking about when your Fourth Younger Brother will get married."
Qin Mian laughed as he looked at the uncomfortable Lei Xianglee, "The marriage ceremony for Fourth Younger Brother should be held this year, right? "When the time comes, your eldest brother will lend you the carriage to pick up the bride."
To be able to use this kind of unique carriage to pick up a newcomer was a matter of great honor. Lei Xianglee was moved, he immediately ignored his embarrassment and said: "Sister-in-law, big brother, it's a deal. I still have things to do at home, so I'll be leaving first." After saying that, he quickly ran away.
The villagers laughed even louder.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not stay for long, and got on the carriage to return home.
"Sigh, " Faang Hongliu nudged Sister Zhang with her arm."How long do you think will it take for Madam Du to settle her marriage with him?"
Before Sister Zhang even said anything, Zhou Cuihua curled her lips in disdain as she nimbly held the soles of her shoes, "Ever since their fifth brother became a scholar, there have been at least eight matchmakers who have proposed marriage to their Lao Si, right? The Madam Du, on the other hand, had always been picking and choosing, not one of them caught her eye. I'd like to see what kind of a fourth wife she'll find."
"I think it's difficult, " an aunt said mysteriously."You don't know yet, right? The bad thoughts of his family had spread to other villages. The Lao Si s' conditions were not bad???? a man could endure hardships; his elder brother's wife had good prospects; and his youngest brother had good prospects. But if we can't stop him from having a mother like that, it won't be easy to be their daughter-in-law."
"Come on, talk less." Sister Zhang stopped her, "This new wife is married to Lao Si, and not to an mother-in-law."
The villagers knew that the Sister Zhang and the Qin Mian Family were close, and were willing to leave some face for Qin Mian and Lei Tia, so they switched to talking about other things.
After returning home, Qin Mian changed into his shorts and laid on the bed. The bed was covered with a cool bamboo mat, and the French windows were completely open. A gentle summer breeze blew into the room, dispersing the stuffy heat.
Qin Mian relaxed his limbs and looked at the house beams with his empty eyes, unblinking.
"What are you thinking about?" Lei Tia grabbed his ankle.
"How do you want to spend your money?" Qin Mian turned to face him, "You can't leave fifty thousand silver there to rot. You need to spend it to make money."There's a lot of business I can do, but for a moment I can't think of a good thing to do first."
"Wine." Lei Tia spat out a word and laid down beside him. He then lifted his head so that he could rest it on his arm.
"Wine?" "Good idea!" Qin Mian thought for a while, "What kind of wine is brewed from the small winery in our village?"
"Liquor and rice wine." Lei Tia held onto his hand, and kissed his arm from his finger, slowly moving upwards.
Qin Mian's breathing became unsteady, and she glared at him, "I don't want to do it, it's hot."
Lei Tia rolled up his pajamas and his breath landed on his neck.
"Once it's done, it won't be hot anymore."My wife, just now in the carriage, I??"
Qin Mian covered his mouth, hesitating. Lei Tia quickly took off his clothes. Seeing that the situation had run out, Qin Mian could only hug his neck tight.
"..."
Qin Mian had to admit that soaking in hot summer sweat before taking a bath and changing into a fresh set of clothes, with someone by his side fa ing him and feeding him grapes, was a huge enjoyment.
"If we really want to open a winery, it would be best to greet the owner of the winery. After all, they are from the same village.
Lei Tia said: "Perhaps we can invite him to the winery to work. The business is getting bigger and bigger, it's impossible to do everything by yourself."
Qin Mian was enlightened."That makes sense."
He turned his body and laid on Lei Tia's body. It was a little hot, but he liked being close to men."There's so much I can do, and I'd like to make instant noodles, make a vineyard, build a mountain resort??"
"No rush, we have plenty of time." Lei Tia stroked his hair, "Let me accompany you."
"Of course!" Qin Mian embraced his waist, "What do you think about buying all the land in the back of our Tian Residence? When the time came, he would co ect with Tian Ji and build a perimeter wall that would include the powder workshop. In the future, when we open our wine workshops and food processing workshops, they will all be here."
Qin Mian was mainly responsible for mental work, while Lei Tia was mainly responsible for physical work.
The two of them organized themselves and went out to Precinct Head's house. When the entire Precinct Head saw them, he smiled and offered them tea passionately.
Precinct Head was respected in the village due to his status and position. Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not care about Qiao Qiao and said a few polite words and accepted the tea.
When Qin Mian stated his purpose of visit, the Precinct Head was overjoyed. He happily sold a large piece of empty land at the price of a wasteland to.
"Are we still going to plant fruit trees this time?" Precinct Head asked.
Qin Mian said: "No, we plan to set up another workshop. We're still discussing what exactly we should do."
The Precinct Head nodded, "It's good to have a workshop. The more you do business in the village, the more manual work you'll need, and then the villagers won't have to travel all the way to find work. This is a good thing for the whole village."
"Precinct Head can rest assured, Tia and I will take care of our fellow villagers within our capabilities." Qin Mian did not want to say too much. Normally, he didn't mind hiring people in the village, as long as the key techniques were in the hands of his own people.
After leaving Precinct Head's house, the two went to visit the owner of the small winery. Before he even got close, he could smell the aroma of wine. However, the door of the small winery was tightly locked.
It turned out that the son of the brother-in-law of the owner of the small winery, Chen San, had gone off to drink wedding wine with his wife.
The next day, Qin Mian and Lei Tia paid a visit again. Chen San and his wife were busy with work. Qin Mian and Lei Tia's arrival surprised the couple.
Seeing that they didn't seem to be here to buy wine, Chen San wiped his hands and asked in bewilderment, "Is there something you need?"
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, sorry for disturbing you." Qin Mian handed over the dim sum in his hand, and directly stated his intention for coming here, "It's like this. After a while, our family plans to set up a winemaking workshop, and most of the wine will be exported. I was worried that Uncle Chen might misunderstand, so I specially came to say hi to you. I hope that Third Uncle Chen will not take offense to it."
Chen San and his wife were both stu ed.
Chen San shook his head in disappointment."There's nothing to mind. It's not against the law for you to open a winemaking workshop, so it's already rare for you to think about greeting us."
Chen San's wife sat at the side and couldn't help but sigh. The wine in their workshop was not the best, but when the villagers wanted to drink, they would basically all come here to buy. They could earn fifty to sixty gold coins a month, or one or two silver coins a year. Once Lei Tia Family's wine making workshop was opened, the number of people who came here to buy wine would decrease and their families would also experience a loss of income. But she was not a person who did not understand, and he could not say what he was accusing of.
Qin Mian could tell that they were sincere so he said to Chen San, "Uncle Chen San, I have something to tell you. Tia and I do have a few good wine making recipes, but we barely know anything about winemaking. We would like to invite you to be our host in the winery.
Chen San's wife immediately revealed a happy expression. He had just thrown away the sesame seed and didn't expect to find a watermelon immediately!
Chen San was slightly tempted. Going to the Lei Tia Family's winery meant that their wages were fixed according to the month's payment; even the wages of the people who worked for them were not low, it was better than staying in a small workshop.
"Eldest Nephew thinks highly of me, what part of me is unwilling? "However, my family still has quite a bit of wine??"
Qin Mian laughed: "That's easy. Our winery won't be open for business for another half a month or so, so Third Uncle can take advantage of this to finish off our family's wine."
Chen San's wife asked somewhat embarrassedly, "If our boss goes to your winery to work, I don't know??" "How much can you get per month?"
Qin Mian said honestly: "Because I do not know how good Uncle Chen's culinary skills are, in the begi ing, I could only offer 100 coins a month, and if Uncle Chen performs well in the future, or makes an important contribution to the wine shop, I will definitely make more money. In addition, people who work for our family, whether they are domestic servants or hired workers, have to pay festivals."
