Chapter 73 Pond Excavation(2)
"Your idea?" Qin Mian walked over to his side and whispered.
Lei Tia nodded, "Is it a promise for the Elder Faang?"
"Yes." Qin Mian suddenly saw Lei Xiangren, who was carrying a shovel on his shoulder, swagger towards him. He felt disgusted, "Why is he here again?"
Lei Tia\'s gaze turned serious, "No one called him over."
Lei Xiangren quickly walked over and chose a spot to step on the spade to dig. However, he had already dug up three shovels with a single shovelful.
Second Uncle Deng, who was not far from him, happened to notice this and frowned in disdain.
Qin Mian looked up at Lei Tia, and said in a low voice: "I\'m not satisfied."
Lei Tia pressed down on his shoulder, gesturing for him to look again.
Lei Xiangren slowly dug the dirt on the ground. He was extremely happy inside, staying with these people for only two or three days would earn him more than two hundred gold coins, as if he was picking them up.
Right at that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right knee. With a "Ouch!", he fell to the ground.
"What is it?" a villager beside him asked kindly.
"It\'s fine, it\'s fine." Lei Xiangren rubbed his knees, as though there was nothing wrong, he immediately got up. Unexpectedly, before he could even stand steadily, his knees went numb, and he sat on the ground once again.
Lei Xiangyi had a clear understanding of Lei Xiangren\'s thoughts, and said in a
oyance: "Second Brother, if you\'re not feeling well, go home and rest."
"I... Alright, I\'ll come back another day to help big brother. " Lei Xiangren was still unresigned in his heart, but he was afraid that there was something wrong with his leg. He could only use the shovel as a walking stick and slowly leave.
The few villagers who were nearby all let out a sigh of relief. Although they did not pay the wages, but if they did the same as Lei Xiangren who did less, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"You did it?" Qin Mian moved closer to Lei Tia, his eyes sparkling.
Lei Tia did not even glance at him, he raised his hand and caressed his head.
Qin Mian watched Lei Xiangren\'s back as he walked off in the distance, full of schadenfreude. If you dare come and take advantage of his family, release Lei Tia!
Not wanting to let the helpers think that he and Lei Tia were worried about them, Qin Mian and Lei Tia decided to leave as they were monitoring them from here.
"Uncles, we\'ll leave this place to you. He would work until the begi
ing of the afternoon and continue until the end of the afternoon. "If you\'re tired, then rest for a while. There\'s no need to rush too much."
The period from the begi
ing to the end of the afternoon was two hours, enough for them to go home and eat and rest. All the villagers happily agreed.
Qin Mian also told the two sister-in-law who made tea not to break the teacup and left with Lei Tia.
However, even if they were not there, most people would not be lazy. After all, Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xianglee and the people from Deng Family were all there.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia brought the ox-cart back to town. Qin Mian wrote down a list of fruits and snacks for Lei Tia to eat. He told Lei Tia to prepare them for the guests. He came to the tasty restaurant.
It was not yet time for the shop to open. The tables had not been moved out and the door was ajar.
Qin Mian walked in and saw Yue Dong leading Zheng Liu, Wang Shun and a few other waiters as they busied themselves washing vegetables and making pills. In the past few months, the several waiters had become more proficient at it. Their movements were swift and nimble. Chen Si and Stone were the fastest. They put a lump of meat in their palm, pressed their thumb and forefinger together, and a pill appeared in the bamboo sieve. In a short while, they could make eight or nine pills.
Qin Mian\'s eyes held a smile, looking straight at everyone, he let them see his satisfaction, "Everyone has worked hard recently. Yue Dong, tonight, you will bring everyone to eat di
er in the store before setting the workshop off. After you\'re done, pick out all the dishes you want to eat before you open the door. In the evening, all of you will eat the hotpot with your stomachs open.
Wang Shun, Chen Si, Shi and Zheng Liu all stood up in joy, and thanked together, "Thank you, Little Boss!"
Yue Dong revealed a smile, "Rest assured Little Boss." Qin Mian said that "Boss, I will treat", meaning that he would still need to write down the accounts, making it easier to check them in the future.
Qin Mian raised his hand to signal them to continue working, and then walked around the shop. The kitchen and the shop were all very clean. It could be seen that the workers weren\'t slacking off because he and Lei Tia had reduced the number of times they came to the shop. He was even more satisfied and pla
ed to give a few of the waiters a proper amount of money in a short period of time.
He wrapped some freshly made pills with some oiled paper and also made Yue Dong pay for it. When Lei Tia finished buying things, the two of them rushed back home.
In the afternoon, Qin Mian and Lei Tia invited the Uncle Deng over for lunch. To cook a big hotpot and then cook five or six dishes, it was quite sumptuous.
Deng Quan, Deng Zhong and Deng Xiaoxiao were particularly fond of hotpot, constantly washing the dishes, and rarely used their chopsticks to cook.
After finishing all the pills in the pot, Qin Mian put down another 60 to 70 pills.
After Deng Quan drank a mouthful of water, he continued to eat the spicy and fragrant pills, while asking Qin Mian, "Big Brother Xu, were Zhou Erhao and Zhao Sifeng invited over by you?"
"No." Qin Mian used his chopsticks to serve dishes to Uncle Deng and Second Uncle Deng, "Back then, when you were calling out to them, they happened to be here. When they opened their mouths, I couldn\'t refuse. Are they being dishonest? " There was no surprise in his expression.
Deng Zhong shook his head, "It\'s more than dishonest. I think he\'s just here to mess around."
The Uncle Deng slowly said: "This matter was only because Brother Mang was inconsiderate. After living in the village for such a long time, you should have a rough understanding of the character and character of the villagers, right? I should look for someone in private. "
Lei Tia protected Qin Mian, "I was the one who had my wife call for him."
Uncle Deng glanced at him but did not say anything.
However, Second Uncle Deng felt that Qin Mian was not such a careless person.
Qin Mian secretly patted Lei Tia\'s leg and helped Uncle Deng pick up a piece of fish from his stomach, "Thank you for your concern, First Uncle. In fact, I meant to ask someone to dig a pond in front of so many people today. First Uncle, do you think that if I were to secretly look for people, would the villagers who were not invited would have thoughts towards Lei Tia and me? Even though there might be one or two people who would try to play tricks in public, it\'s in the hands of the villagers. Those who fail to get a placing ca
ot be blamed on Lei Tia and me. Our family\'s development will not stop at this point. In the future, we will need to hire people to work for us. We can use this opportunity to see who is sincere in their work and who is not reliable. Everyone could see who was dishonest. The next time he invited someone to do something, he would not invite these lazy people. No one could say anything about it. Our family doesn\'t have a church, let them take it for free. "
The smile on Qin Mian\'s face was filled with confidence, and also had an air of confidence.
Uncle Deng nodded slightly and looked at him deeply.
Uncle Deng laughed and patted Qin Mian\'s shoulders with all his might, "I knew you had evil intentions!"
Deng Quan and Deng Zhong looked at each other and smiled, "For you to be able to think things through so clearly, we have to be less worried."
Deng Xiao\'s mouth did not stop the entire time as he continued to eat. Only now did he speak, "I already said that Brother Mang and cousin can take good care of their own family. Do you believe me now?"
Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee seemed to be deep in thought, as they vaguely understood something from Qin Mian\'s body.
In the afternoon, Uncle Deng and the rest continued to dig. Qin Mian and Lei Tia went to see how things were progressing before returning home. Carrying a hoe and basket, they went back to the market to busy themselves.
There were also some radishes and many cabbages in the garden. One of them dug, the other picked up, and brought the dishes home. When the weather gets warmer, new vegetables will be planted in the vegetable patch.
The radish is made into pickled shredded radish and the cabbage is made into pickled vegetables. They are two very good dishes. Especially pickled vegetables, they could be used to make pickled pork dumplings, pickled fish, pickled meat, pickled stewed meat, and even pickled egg fried rice. Just thinking about it made one salivate.
Lei Tia saw that Yun Che was thinking of something delicious that caused his eyes to shine and his lips to lick. She couldn\'t help but break apart his head and place a kiss on his lips.
Qin Mian blinked his eyes, and casually picked up a basket to block the two people\'s heads, blocking their line of sight that might have existed in the distance.
Lei Tia\'s dark eyes flashed with a trace of a smile. He was originally prepared to stop, change his mind, and deepen this kiss.
After a kiss, the two looked at each other in silence, lowered their heads and continued with their work.
Uncle Deng and his family ate di
er at Qin Mian Family and were sent back home by Lei Tia using an oxcart.
Uncle Deng said that he didn\'t need to pick them up tomorrow, they could borrow two cars to bring their children over, saving Lei Tia from ru
ing around.
After breakfast the next day, Lei Tia went to the pond. Qin Mian tidied up at home, took out all kinds of snacks and fruits, and put seven or eight plates on the table.
Two donkey carts were parked in front of the courtyard, and a few children, dressed in new clothes, jumped down from the carts like dumplings. Deng\'s children Happy and Kun, Deng Zhong\'s children Cui and Yuan Zi, Deng Xiao\'s children Xuan, Yu Ya and Lan Ya, a total of seven children. The oldest was Xi Ya, ten years old; the youngest was Yuan Zi and Lan Ya, both five years old. A few of the children shouted at Qin Mian: "Cousin Uncle Mang!"
Uncle Deng and the rest did not enter the house.
Second Uncle Deng said, "Big Brother Mang, we\'ll leave the children to you. We\'ll head directly over there."
"Don\'t worry, second uncle." Qin Mian brought a few children into the house.
The children had just arrived at a new place and were still a bit shy. They didn\'t say anything, but after seeing that the snacks on the table had loosened up, the younger ones all ran over to eat their snacks. Joy had the demeanor of a big sister, not much to say, but her eyes were always on Yuan Zi and Lan Ya, the youngest of whom she was most familiar with.
Qin Mian carried Yuan Zi and Lan Ya to the chairs, moved the plate of snacks in front of them and said with a smile, "Take whatever you like."
"Thank you, Cousin Xu!" Yuan Zi said in a loud voice, looking extremely strong and strong.
