Chapter 54 If You Dont Take Advantage of the Situation You will Die
"Alright," Lei Xiangren said, "After we finish buying everything, we'll meet up at the town's entrance."
Mrs Zhao and Madam Qian were whispering to each other behind the carriage.
Third Sister-in-Law, "Mrs Zhao touched Madam Qian's arm, and said in a low voice," Eldest Sister-in-Law's advice this time is really not bad, I dare say that selling the soup will earn us a lot of money. But unfortunately, they all have to be handed over to Mother. "
Thinking about how Madam Du handed over the money she spent to buy firewood and vegetables to Lei Xiangren one by one, Madam Qian felt uncomfortable. She knew that Mrs Zhao wanted to incite her to bring up the matter of the branch family first, but she was not as pleased as she was. She only made a 'hmm' and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that she was not fooled, Mrs Zhao could not help but say: "If only we could be separated."
Madam Qian deliberately asked: "Who are you referring to by 'we'?"
Mrs Zhao stammered. Actually, she was still conflicted. She wanted to split up her family, but she also didn't want to split up her family. If they split up, she could control the family's money by herself, but she wasn't happy when she thought about how if the branch families split up, she would also have to separate from Lei Xiangzhi. Lei Xiangzhi's future was limitless, she could not bear to part with this big tree. If Old Third and Lao Si were to be separated, and Madam Du gave her the authority to rule, that would be the best outcome. That old woman, she's so old, and she still controls her sons. When Miss Wei enters the door, let's see how she can still act so arrogantly ??
The more Mrs Zhao thought about it, the further away she went. Her eyes were empty.
Madam Qian rolled his eyes at her as she laid on his lap and squinted his eyes for a while.
In town, the sun had just come up. The sunlight stretched the shadows long.
The ox-cart stopped in front of the shop. Lei Tia took away the vegetables that he had just bought and let Lei Xianglee drive the ox-cart away.
The barbeque master, Chen Si, had arrived early. He was eating breakfast by the side ?C two steamed buns.
"Big Boss, Little Boss, good morning."
Qin Mian nodded at him, "Morning."
"Big Brother, don't worry. I will buy some fodder and bring it over. I won't let the cows get hungry." Lei Xianglee said.
"This is our first time coming to Sis' store." Madam Du hinted to Qin Mian as his gaze drifted towards the tightly shut door.
"Yeah." Lei Xiangren agreed, and fawned on her, "Big brother, your shop ?? ??"
Lei Tia remained unmoving as he lightly said, "It's getting late."
Lei Xiangren and the rest could only drive away.
"I really admire them both." Qin Mian shook his head as he took out his keys to open the door.
"Who cares what they do." Lei Tia didn't mind. If others had bad intentions, he could deal with them all.
"You two are the owners of this restaurant, right?"
An old voice sounded uncertainly from behind them.
Qin Mian turned his head to look, and saw an old man who was over his age wearing a flowery robe standing not far away with a stooped back, a look of unease on his face.
"Exactly." Qin Mian walked over, puzzled, and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"
The old man rubbed his hands together, "I am Zheng Liu's father, last night Little Six was beaten up. He asked me to tell you guys that someone forced him to say something about a prescription ??"
Chen Si stopped chewing and was secretly glad that he was close to the place. Nothing happened last night.
Qin Mian's expression changed greatly as he looked at Lei Tia.
Lei Tia's gaze turned cold.
Before he could say anything, a young man with a simple and honest appearance ran over from afar.
"Boss Lei, Boss Qin, you've come. My younger brother has been ??"
"Beated?" Qin Mian took over.
The man froze for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, he didn't come home late. When I went out to look for him, I found him lying by the roadside with wounds all over his body. He's still unconscious."
Qin Mian's face darkened, he was furious, but he did not lose his cool. He took out four taels of silver ingots from his money pouch, each of them holding two taels of silver.
"Uncle Zheng, Brother Wang, this matter happened because of us. I'm truly sorry. Take this money to treat Zheng Liu and Wang Shun. By the way, can you please help me say a few words so that the two of them can recuperate peacefully and come back to work after their injuries have healed? We will settle this matter. "
"This ??"
's father and brother hesitated for a moment before accepting the money.
Wang Shun's brother said: "It's his fortune that I met such a boss along the way. Both bosses, rest assured, I will bring the matter to fruition. "Thank you very much."
After sending off Zheng Liu's father and brother, Qin Mian angrily kicked the vegetable basket, "Damn! How dare you! "
Lei Tia held him back, "The one that hurts is you. I'll fix it. "Open the door first."
Qin Mian opened the door and sat on the chair, "How do you plan to settle this?"
"Don't worry." Lei Tia said, "I'm going out for a while."
"Alright then, be careful." Qin Mian had not learned anything from his family, even if he went with them, he would not be able to help much, so he could only give some advice.
Lei Tia looked around, "All the nearby shops are open, there are many people coming and going, you don't have to be afraid."
"What am I afraid of?" Qin Mian laughed, "Quickly go, you must teach 'them' a lesson."
Lei Tia nodded and left in a hurry.
Qin Mian looked at Chen Si who had been silent the entire time, "Chen Si, are you afraid?"
Chen Si regained his senses, and laughed, then swallowed the steamed bun in his hand, and moved the vegetable basket back into the house, "Little Boss, that's not true. Our surnamed Chen is also a big family name in the town, what am I afraid of? "However, by now, those people should already know that you and our big boss are the only ones who can concoct the seasonings in our restaurant." Little Boss could no longer take his hat off Qin Mian's head.
Qin Mian nodded his head, "If anyone comes looking for you in the future, just push it on Big Boss and me." From the start of the restaurant until now, he and Lei Tia had personally handled the hotpot, spicy barbecue and barbeque spices. The three shop assistants, Zheng Liu, Wang Shun and Chen Si, did not know about this.
"Don't worry, Little Boss." Chen Si said, "However, if Little Six and Shunzi can't come, then I'm afraid they won't have enough manpower today."
Qin Mian had already made arrangements, "When the general store opens, I'll let Boss Zou borrow his shop assistant for half a day." Boss Zou was the owner of the grocery store next door.
Chen Si curled his lips and said, "Boss Zou should be willing, but he will definitely let you start working for the money."
"There's no other way." Qin Mian said helplessly, "Xiao Liuzi and Little Shun must have sustained serious injuries and they should be resting for at least half a month. I'll go to the Dental Hall and hire a short worker when your big boss comes back. "
The two of them did not continue to chat, Chen Si skillfully picked a dish to wash the dishes, and after Qin Mian stewed the big bone soup, he started to chop the meat.
After approximately two hours, Lei Tia finally returned.
Qin Mian sized him up, his expression was calm and his clothes were clean, as though he had just gone for a walk.
"How is it?"
"Done."
Qin Mian was suspicious, "Is everything settled already?"
Chen Si looked over curiously.
Lei Tia nodded.
"How?" Qin Mian asked.
But Lei Tia didn't say anything, he just sat down and pinched the meat balls, "You chop the meat."
"How did you solve this?" Qin Mianxin felt like there was a cat scratching inside his body, and was extremely curious.
Lei Tia still did not say.
Qin Mian stared at him in dissatisfaction. Since he didn't want to talk, he didn't want to waste any more saliva. He turned around and washed his hands, "I'm going to the Dental Office to hire a short worker, a long worker."
Chen Si was confused, "Little Boss, didn't you just say that you would only hire a short worker?"
"Your big boss is so pitiful. Both of his hands were smothered white. I'll ask someone to cook it. " Qin Mian teased.
Chen Si said enviously, "Big Boss and Little Boss are really close, just like brothers."
Qin Mian froze.
Lei Tia glanced at Chen Si coldly.
Chen Si shook his head. What did he say wrong?
Lei Tia opened his mouth, "He's my ?? ??"
"Lei Tia!" Qin Mian pounced over and covered his mouth. This was the first time he realized that his speed could be this fast, almost comparable to Qing Gong.
Lei Tia raised his hand and touched his face, but didn't say anything else, and continued to pinch the pills.
Only then did Qin Mian let him go, giving him a warning glare. With his hands behind his back, he walked out of the room with his head held high and his chest puffed up.
Chen Si glanced at the minced meat on Qin Mian's face and laughed.
The new guy was a simple and honest guy, his reactions a little slow, but he was diligent, strong, and didn't talk much. His entry into the sect did not affect the business of the day in the slightest, nor did it affect his absence from Zheng Liu's.
Lei Tia no longer needed to cook the Ma La Bun. When the customers were few, they would sit at the counter with Qin Mian and calculate the debt. When there were more customers, they would help carry the plates and collect the money.
When there were fewer customers, Qin Mian went to the pastry shop across the street and bought two snacks, splitting them into two.
When the sun rose to the west, Lei Xiangren and a few others drove their cars and appeared, all of them full of joy.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, we are back." Lei Xiangren shouted from afar.
Qin Mian hated that he couldn't pinch him to death, and his blade flew straight towards him.
Fortunately, the customers in the restaurant did not realize that the "sister-in-law" was referring to him.
Lei Xianglee patted Lei Xiangren and reminded him: "Don't call his 'sister-in-law' in front of everyone."
Lei Xiangren realised, "Oh, got it."
He pulled the donkey cart to the side of the road and walked into the shop with a smile on his face. He moved closer to the counter and asked, "Big brother, do you know how much money we made today?"
Lei Tia gloomily raised his pen to write, not interested in speculating at all.
Qin Mian casually asked, "How much?"
Lei Xiangren chuckled, "Two hundred and thirty."
Lei Xiangyi said with a smile on his face, "Let's do the calculation then. After getting rid of the firewood and the food, we will earn 160 gold."
"Not bad, not bad. Congratulations." Qin Mian cupped his hands together in greeting.
Madam Du looked enviously at the hotpot others were eating, "I've been busy for half a day and am about to starve to death. Young master, let's eat at Eldest Brother's shop. "
"Sure." Lei Xiangren laughed, "Big brother, the dishes in your shop are so delicious."
Qin Mian was also smiling merrily, "Choose for yourselves what you want to eat. Vegetables cost a string of coins, meat cost a string of coins, hot pot was more expensive, and it would take more time. This is your first time here, so I'll give you a twenty percent discount. "
Lei Xiangren looked at him in shock, "We are all brothers ??" He deliberately did not finish his words.
Qin Mian's smile became even more brilliant and intimate, "You guys go pick the dishes first."
Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee were both embarrassed.
Lei Xiangyi looked at Lei Xiangren disapprovingly, "What is Second Brother saying?"
"I'm not wrong. Eldest Sister-in-Law is being too calculative." Lei Xiangren reprimanded Qin Mian with a look of dissatisfaction.
Qin Mian sneered. He had finally seen what it meant to destroy the bridge after crossing the river. But he didn't say anything more. He smiled as he counted the money. The coins fell into the money box. The jingling sound was extremely pleasant to hear. He wasn't in a hurry, not at all.
Madam Qian suddenly reacted, moving closer to Lei Xiangyi and said softly, "Husband, you must pay. Tomorrow, we still need to buy seasonings."
She purposely allowed Lei Xiangren to hear her words.
Lei Xiangren paused for a moment, then snorted lightly, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "That's right, brother will settle this debt."
He shot a glance at Qin Mian, and arrogantly walked to the front of the wooden shelf to pick up the dishes.
Are you sick? What's there to be proud about? Qin Mian really wanted to step on his face.
Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee looked at each other and sighed, then went to pick the dishes.
Qin Mian hooked his finger at Lei Tia, indicating him to come closer.
Lei Tia walked two steps towards him.
Qin Mian pressed down on his shoulder and said softly: "Luckily you ran away from home when you were twelve. Otherwise, with his thick skin, I would have stepped on it a few times for you."
Lei Tia coughed lightly as he shook his head helplessly.
"It's only four pills and it costs two coins?" Mrs Zhao grimaced as she picked, spittle flying from her mouth, "Two coins can buy a large chunk of meat. This vegetable dish is also expensive, five leaves is only worth a single coin! "
