"Three years..." Qin Mian scratched his chin, still hesitating. "If you haven't opened a new store for three years, I always feel like wasted time."
Lei Tie's chin rubbed against the top of his head, "I'm in charge. The new shop will be opened. For the time being, we will not sell cakes, but only drinks. Drinks are simple and easy to teach."
His rare strength made Qin Mian quickly made up his mind, "Listen to you. Then, apart from grapes, we reserve one third of our fruits, and sell the rest to Nie Heng and Mu Chen."
"Yeah." Lei Tie had no comment.
"Ahhhh..." waved his little arm full.
Qin Mian crawled over and picked him up, "Son, what's the matter? Isn't anyone paying attention to you?"
Leaning heavily on him, very happy, "Yeah."
Yuanyuan looked at Lei Tie.
Lei Tie also hugged him, father and son look at me, I look at you, each other speechless.
Qin Mian laughed, went back to Lei Tie, sat next to him, touched Yuanyuan with his small hands, "Come on, you guys play together."
"Yeah..." Smiling with eyes full of bending.
Yuanyuan raised her little arm, "Ah."
Qin Mian was overjoyed, the expression on Lei Tie's face was flat but soft. Qin Mian didn't realize that Lei Tie's eyes were more on him.
In late May, the cherries begin to ripen. Qin Mian taught how to make juice and fruit milk tea to Aunt Fu, Aunt Quan and Lei Qin Lejia. A few days later, a first-line heaven drink shop opened. Sweet drinks are more popular with girls and children, and soon become the most popular drink in town. Every day around noon, there are long lines outside the shop.
It has been a whole year since the construction of Shuangshui Tower, which has greatly stimulated the economic development of Liushui Town. Following Nie Heng's carriage, there were two more livestock feed shops, three vegetable shops and two tea shops in Liushui Town, as well as a number of stalls selling local specialties, rain gear and other items. Not only that, but also a visionary. The vicious merchant bought a piece of land next to Shuangshilou, and built a two-story department store with various goods. Isn't it the same as the department store of later generations? A trip to Liushui Town just to have a meal at Shuangshuilou and listen to the storytelling may not be too wasteful. Why not buy some goods and sell them back?
As Qin Mian expected, Liushui Town is much more prosperous than before. There are more vehicles and passers-by passing through Liushui Town. Because of this, the monthly profit of the first-line heaven beverage store is very impressive.
Especially as the weather gets hotter and hotter, is it cool to drink a glass of juice with ice? There are more and more types of drinks, cherries, peaches, strawberries, watermelons...
In August, the grapes in the vineyard mature. The grapes are big and purple, like beautiful purple pearls clustered together, hanging on the grape rack, which is mouth-watering. Pick one and taste it. The sweet taste is so sweet.
In the scorching summer day, the sun is already very blazing.
The people living in the leisurely field put on straw hats and came to the vineyard with straw-paved baskets. After finding the ripe bunches in the green grape leaves, they held the bunches in one hand, and cut the grapes with scissors in the other hand and put them gently into the basket. After about half an hour, a carriage will come over to transport the grapes away.
The reason why Qin Mian grows grapes is to make wine. The profit of wine is much greater than the grape itself. He only agreed to sell two hundred catties to them because of the good relationship between Nie Heng and Mu Chen and them. This unit price is relatively high compared to other grapes, but for Qin Mian, it is only a fraction.
The remaining grapes are all used for winemaking. Making wine is simple. Because the grapes are not sprayed with pesticides and do not need to be washed, in fact, the white substance on the surface of the grape skin is good for fermentation. Pick the grapes one by one and place them in the pot, crush them one by one with your hands, and leave the grape skins, grape seeds and pulp in the pot. Then, according to the ratio of six kilograms of grapes to one kilogram of white sugar, stir the grapes and white sugar evenly. After the white sugar is completely melted, put the mixture into a clean vessel. Grapes will produce a lot of gas during the fermentation process. Don't fill them up too much and beware of explosions. The vessel needs to be sealed, the temperature is high in summer, and the fermentation is fast. After about 20 days, it will be ready to brew. After the grape skin, grape seeds and pulp are filtered out with clean gauze, the real wine is left. Finally, put the wine into a custom wine jar with a capacity of two catties and then sell it. Each altar is priced at two or two.
Qin Mian supervised it once, confirmed that everyone had learned it, and handed it over to Uncle Fu. The main task of him and Lei Tie is to take care of his son.
The four-month-old Yuanyuan and Manman has grown very strong, not only can stand up, and sometimes even sit. With big black eyes, white and tender face, and chubby little hands, she put on a light blue jumpsuit embroidered with fruits, revealing her pink and tender butt, so cute. Whether it's a little girl, a woman or an old lady in the village, whoever sees the two little guys can't help but look at them. My heart is soft, I want to hug them and kiss them hard.
Qin Mian would not give them such a chance. How could his son let people kiss casually, how many bacteria?
Lei Tie is even more unlikely to allow others to kiss his son.
That evening, after having dinner, the sun had just set, and the heat had cleared a lot. To the west, half of the sky is covered with large sunset clouds. Countless dragonflies are flying in the sky, diligently eliminating mosquitoes. The summer breeze was blowing, quite cool.
After taking a shower, Qin Mian and Lei Tie put the two little guys in clean clothes, put them in the stroller, and pushed them out of the house.
A little white and golden retriever followed lazily.
The two strollers are specially made by Qin Mian's drawings. They are exactly the same, they can be separated, and they can be combined into one to facilitate the relationship between the two children. A baby bottle is hung on the handle of one side of the stroller, and a hand cloth bag is hung on the other side with a clean diaper inside. On the sunshade above the stroller hangs toys made of brightly colored fabrics in the shape of fruits.
Yuanyuan Hemanman is very smart, and one is on the stroller, and he knows he is going out.
He was full of joy and jumped straight, "Eh..."
Although Yuanyuan's expression is not obvious, she is also very happy.
Maybe it really has something to do with heredity. Yuanyuan is very much like Lei Tie, with few expressions and few words. When Qin Mian first found out, he still wanted to correct it as soon as possible, so he held Yuanyuan more often. Every time he held him, he would tease and talk to him a lot, but it didn't work. He seemed a little dissatisfied with his eccentricity and had to give up in the end. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Ah Tie, just as cute.
The villagers who had eaten dinner took the big pu fans out, and gathered under the trees to enjoy the cool and chat.
"Tiezi, Tiezi Wife, take the child out for a walk again."
Qin Mian smiled and greeted, "Yeah. The two little guys like to go out for shopping, as if they don't have enough eyes."
The villagers laughed when they saw Yuanyuan and their full eyes curled around, looking around.
"These two kids are getting cuter and cuter."
Lei Tie saw Lizheng, and said, "Lizheng is also there. Wife and I just have something to talk to you."
The dealers usually don't have much entertainment, they are a little gossip, and they look over curiously.
Lei Tie said in front of so many people that he didn't mind being known by others, so Lizheng asked directly, "Tiezi, what's the matter?"
Lei Tie said: "Our husband plans to fund a school in the village."
The villagers all came around in surprise and joy, after all, they were afraid of a little white and golden hair, and did not dare to get too close.
"Brother Iron, is this true?"
Here I have to talk about the situation in Qingshan Village. The location of Qingshan Village is remote, the soil conditions are not good, and there are not many crops in the ground. Therefore, before the processing park was built, Qingshan Village was relatively poor and there was no school in the village. Children have to go to school in town. However, Qingshan Village is half an hour away from the town, making it very inconvenient to commute. Like Lei Xiangzhi, when he was studying in the town, he lived in the house provided by the town school to avoid wasting time on the road. The villagers felt that it was too troublesome to pick up the children back and forth every day, and they were worried about letting the children go to and from school early in the morning and late at night. It would cost a lot of accommodation to stay. Therefore, many villagers had to give up the idea of letting their children study. However, scholars have always had a lofty status. Who doesn't want his children to be full of poems and even embarking on an official career? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if you don't expect them to be the top scholar in the exam, it's good to be able to learn a few words, and it's easier to find a job when you grow up.
It is conceivable that Lei Tie's words caused a sensation. After a while, all the villagers who had received the news rushed over and hurriedly asked.
There is still majesty in it, give a clear drink, let the big guys sit down, don't shout.
Lizheng was also very excited, "Tiezi, tell me more specifically."
Yuanyuan and a lot of playfully scratched Jin Mao and Yi Bai.
"My Wife's idea, let me say Wife." Lei Tie took out the veil and wiped his sons' hands, letting the little white and golden retriever move away.
Qin Mian's heart is warm, and his family is paralyzed all the time trying to improve his status in the village.
"In the past few years, our family has been able to establish a foothold in the village and live so smoothly, thanks to the support of our fathers and villagers. To express our gratitude, and to make our children in Qingshan Village more promising than our generation in the future. , Ah Tiecai and I decided to build a school. The school will set up two bookstores, one of which teaches children who only want to learn a few words, which can be called an ordinary class; the other bookstore where the professor wants to take the imperial examination Children can be called imperial examination classes. The tables, chairs and benches in the school are all paid for by our family. Children in ordinary classes only need 20 wen of tuition per month to cover the expenses of the teacher; children in imperial examination classes are paid monthly If you pay a hundred ren, the money is also given to the master. If the total amount is not enough to pay the master's wages, our family will still make up for it. Of course, you will have to be responsible for collecting the money.
