During the break in Shuangshoulou, it always doubles as a meeting room. On the table in the center is a basket of fried chestnuts. Qin Mian sits at the table, peeling the chestnuts to eat. There was a charcoal basin and a small stove beside him. Water was burning on the stove, and white smoke was continuously emitted from the spout, floating upward.
A little bit of white lying on the sofa, his head on Qin Mian's lap.
Lei Tie opened the door and looked at Qin Mian eating chestnut on her leg, his eyes warmed, "Please come in."
When the voice fell, he did not enter the door immediately, and waited for Qin Mian to sit upright before walking into the room.
Qin Mian has wiped his mouth clean, restored the grace of Young Master Pian Pian, smiled slightly at Nie Heng and Mu Chen, clasped his fists and said, "It turns out to be Young Master Nie and Young Master Mu, please sit down."
"Excuse me." Nie Heng and Mu Chen sat down opposite Qin Mian.
Mu Chen stared at a bit of white in surprise. He had long heard that the two bosses of Shuangshoulou were raising a wolf. For the first time I saw this wolf today, this wolf is really strong and arrogant.
Yibai jumped off the sofa, stretched, and leaned over to the table and stared at the chestnut on the table.
Qin Mian picked up the teapot and made two cups of tea.
Lei Tie withdrew his white head and took a seat next to Qin Mian, moving the small basket containing the sugar-fried chestnuts to the front, peeling the chestnut silently, and putting the chestnut meat in the plate in front of Qin Mian.
After a few words of greeting, Qin Mian asked, "The two are here, I don't know what you can do?" Because he is no stranger to Nie Heng, his tone is more casual.
Nie Heng smiled and said, "We are here to send you money."
"Oh?" Qin Mian was noncommittal, "It's good to dare, as long as boss Nie doesn't want to make money from me, I can rest assured."
Nie Heng guessed that he knew about canned food, and coughed dryly, "Boss Qin is serious. Qin Mian, if you know you don't like circumstance, I'll just say it. Mu Chen and I want to buy a lot of your summer vegetables at a good price. Discuss." According to his estimation, Shuangshoulou has made at least five thousand taels of silver since having this batch of vegetables. How can he not be jealous? Not only that, Shuangshoulou also used these vegetables to take away many customers in Zhaoyang County, which had a significant impact on the business of Niejia Restaurant.
Qin Mian motioned to them to drink tea, "You should know that my vegetable production is not large, only enough to supply Shuangfanlou."
"I do know this." Nie Heng reminded her, "but you must also understand that no one has been able to grow summer vegetables in winter before. You can imagine how dazzling your vegetables are. According to my information , The news has reached Fucheng. I believe it will not be long before someone will come to inquire about the news. If you cooperate with me and Mu Chen, it will not only bring you huge profits, but also break down most of the pressure for you. Not for?"
"Most of the pressure?" Qin Mian grasped the key words keenly.
Qin Mian showed interest. Nie Heng was more confident to persuade him and nodded: "Yes, our Nie family is actually in the Qingtian Mansion. It was in business within the five generations, and its forces were intertwined. The Mu Chen family is even better. He is not from Zhaoyang County, but from Beijing. His identity,
I can't tell you for the time being, but I can say so-if someone covets your recipe for growing off-season vegetables, Mu Chen can stop it. "
Lei Tie's black eyes flashed sharply. This is why he is wary of Mu Chen. From the first time he saw Mu Chen, he vaguely felt that Mu Chen's identity was not simple. The noble aura in Mu Chen was born, no matter how suppressed, it would still leak out more or less.
Qin Mian was silent. Before planting off-season vegetables, he hesitated for a long time. As Nie Heng said, off-season vegetables are indeed very eye-catching. Some savvy people may think from planting summer vegetables in winter to whether they can also plant summer fruits or whole grains in winter. If anyone thinks he has the ability to grow rice in winter, it will be very troublesome. The reason why he made up his mind later was also because he didn't have many places to intervene in off-season vegetables. It can be said that the reason why off-season vegetables can be planted successfully was uncle Fu and the others. Even if someone comes to investigate, they won't doubt him and Lei Tie.
Nie Heng's words made Qin Mian suddenly have another idea.
He looked at Lei Tie questioningly.
Lei Tie held his hand on the table, looked directly at Mu Chen, and said slowly: "I have a good friend who is very familiar with Beijing, but I haven't heard him mention a prominent family with the surname Mu in Beijing. "If what Nie Heng said is true, "Mu Chen" is probably a pseudonym. But this temptation is necessary.
Mu Chen took out a token from her arms and showed only half of it to Lei Tie. He noticed that a sharp light flashed across his eyes. She was a little surprised and put the token away casually, "Lei Tie boss should now Believe it?"
Qin Mian didn't see what it was, and looked at Lei Tie.
Lei Tie squeezed his hand and nodded slightly.
Qin Mian thought of the word "safe" he had always followed, smiled relieved, and looked around Nie Heng and Mu Chen, "Since this is the case, I wonder if the two are interested in planting off-season vegetables?"
Nie Heng was overjoyed and almost knocked over his teacup, and solemnly asked: "Qin Mian, are you serious?" He thought about a recipe for buying off-season vegetables directly. It is estimated that Qin Mian would not be willing to sell, so he didn't mention it. Unexpectedly, inadvertently inserted willows into a shade.
"The recipe for off-season vegetables may indeed become a hot potato. Your decision is wise." Only then did Mu Chen completely put away his contempt for Qin Mian and looked at him directly.
Qin Mian said that what should be said is clear, "But there is one condition. After selling the recipe to you, our family can continue to grow off-season vegetables."
Nie Heng picked up the teapot to refill the tea for the four. "How many acres of vegetables does your family plan to grow?"
Qin Mian said: "No more than ten acres."
Nie Heng and Mu Chen exchanged glances, "Yes. You must ensure that you don't reveal the prescription, otherwise, we will be compensated according to the number of people leaked."
Lei Tie and Mu Chen were on the sidelines, and neither allowed the other person to negotiate.
"It should be so." Qin Mian asked, "Now can I tell you what price you are willing to pay?"
Before Nie Heng was ready to speak, Qin Mian raised his hand to stop, "The recipe for off-season vegetables may also be suitable for growing fruits, flowers, and even grain. So, boss Nie, you have to think about it before you speak."
Nie Heng choked and sighed in frustration. A profiteer, no chance to take advantage of the loopholes is left to him.
"Qin Mian, you and I are friends anyway."
Qin Mian drank tea calmly, "There is no father and son in the battlefield, no brother in love, how can there be friends in the mall?"
Mu Chen laughed and stroked his palms, "What a'no father and son in the battlefield, no brother in the love field, and no friend in the shopping mall.' Boss Qin makes sense."
"Which side of you are you?" Nie Heng glared at him speechlessly, dragged him to the corner, discussed in a low voice for a while, and walked back.
"How about fifty thousand taels of silver?" Nie Heng said. To do business is to bargain, he said that fifty thousand is also a temptation.
Qin Mian shook his head, "Our home is not as good as yours. There are two places. First, there are not as many people as yours; second, the power is not as big as yours. Otherwise, we will keep the recipe and slowly try to grow flowers and fruits. And food. Just imagine how much wealth will be brought by then? Boss Nie and Master Mu, it seems that you don't have much sincerity."
"You can make a price." Nie Heng smiled.
Qin Mian said unceremoniously: "One price, eighty thousand taels."
"Sixty thousand."
"Eighty thousand."
"Sixty-five thousand taels."
"Seven-five thousand taels."
"Seven thousand."
Qin Mian slowly said: "80,000."
Nie Heng shook his head helplessly, "Well, seventy-five thousand taels. However, we don't have so much money with us. We will visit again tomorrow morning."
There are the four treasures of the study on the table next to it. Qin Mian went to take it. "Let's draw up the documents first. Tomorrow morning I will send someone to Shuangshoulou to pick you up to my home. After signing the documents, I will let you take you to the vegetable greenhouse. , And tell you in detail how to grow off-season vegetables. If you don't understand anything, you can ask on the spot."
Nie Heng and Mu Chen admired his magnanimity.
Nie Heng said, "You are very thoughtful, so it's a deal."
The two agreed on the terms, wrote them down one by one, and after careful consideration, they made sure to copy three copies after no loopholes.
After the formal talks, Qin Mian mentioned the activity of "Removing the Old and Welcome the New".
"Both of them are diamond members. When will they be available?"
Nie Heng then remembered the incident, "Oh! After I get the prescription, I need someone to think about it. I'm afraid I don't have any leisure time."
Mu Chen said regretfully, "I will return to the capital in a few days."
Qin Mian said in his heart that if you do not go, we will be more relaxed, "That would be a shame."
Mu Chen politely put forward his opinions, "Boss Qin, I don't think it is appropriate for you to set the time of the'Great Adventure' in winter. This season is so cold, I am afraid that few people are willing to go out."
Qin Mian had an expression of humility and teaching, "Master Mu is reasonable. We will consider Master Mu's opinions and strive for improvement."
Nie Heng said, "Since neither of us has time to participate, as diamond members, can we get compensation from Shuangfanlou?"
Qin Mian shook his head, "That's not the case. You can't participate in the'Great Adventure' because of your own reasons, not your fault. So, please forgive us for nothing we can do."
Nie Heng and Mu Chen couldn't help but couldn't ask for another twenty thousand taels of silver back. Shuangshilou has long said that the pre-deposited money cannot be withdrawn.
"This way," Qin Mian thought for a while, and said, "Tomorrow you can pick some sweet oranges in the orchard."
Nie Heng and Mu Chen looked at each other and smiled, "It's very much to my liking. It's getting late, we will return to Zhaoyang County and see you tomorrow."
"please."
Lei Tie left Shuang Food Building in a carriage, and Mu Chen said to Nie Heng: "The identity of the Lei Tie boss is probably not just a farmer."
"Why did you say this?" Nie Heng asked.
Mu Chen said quietly: "Firstly because of his aura; besides, when I took out the token, I only asked him to look at the ornamentation under the token. He seemed to recognize what it was. How could a farmer have ever seen it? This token?"
Nie Heng nodded, "You also know that I have always been cautious. I sent someone to check Lei Tie when the delicious food restaurant emerged. I only know that he ran away from home at the age of twelve and came back less than two years. About him leaving In the past ten years, almost nothing has been found. However, their Lei Tie family ancestors have been from Qingshan Village for generations, so don't worry too much."
"It's good if you know it."
Since the beginning of the autumn harvest, Qin Mian and Lei Tie have been busy with family affairs, rarely come to the town, and have accumulated a lot of account books. When they were asked to send the account books of Shuangshilou and the account books of the restaurant to have a rest, the two of them checked together. At noon, they had a hot pot in Shuangshilou. In the afternoon, the two continued to check the accounts, and they did not finish reading the last account book until it was dark and light.
The final total number made the two of them feel a little flying. The busy year is worth it.
As soon as Qin Mian stretched his waist, Lei Tie's hands fell on his shoulders, massaging him.
"Atie, since the construction of Shuangshilou until now, the income has been as much as 130,000 taels; the income of the delicious restaurant this year is also more than 1,300 taels. What do we do, are we considered small assets?" Qin Mian beamed with joy, with a neat row of white teeth sticking out all the time.
"Yeah." Lei Tie nodded, "Wife, I will take you to Fucheng for the Lantern Festival."
"Good!" Qin Mian felt warm. Is this a honeymoon supplement? He rubbed his hot face and looked at the sky, "It's late, are you going back tonight?"
"Go back." Lei Tie stared at him fieryly, "No matter how good the VIP room is, it is not home."
