BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126 Sell off the Recipe for Planting Off-season Vegetables
Lei Tia pushed the door open, and looked at Qin Mian who was eating chestnuts with his legs, and his eyes felt warm, "Please come in."
After saying that, he did not immediately enter, and waited until Qin Mian was seated properly inside before walking into the house.
Qin Mian had already wiped his mouth and regained his composure as a gentleman. He lightly smiled to Nie Heng and Mu Chen and cupped his fists as he said, "So it's Young Master Nie and Young Master Mu. Please take a seat."
"Sorry for disturbing you." Nie Heng and Mu Chen sat opposite of Qin Mian.
Mu Chen stared at Xiao Bai in shock. He had long heard that the two bosses of Shuangzhuan Restaurant were raising a wolf, and today was the first time he saw the wolf's robust and well-built body with an arrogant attitude.
A little white jumped off the sofa, stretched, and leaned over the table to stare at the chestnut on the table.
Qin Mian picked up the teapot and brewed two cups of tea.
Lei Tia pushed away his white head and sat down beside Qin Mian. He moved the basket of chestnuts in front of him, silently peeled off the chestnuts and placed the meat on the plate in front of Qin Mian.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qin Mian asked: "I would like to welcome the two of you to my place, what may I do for you?" Because he was not unfamiliar with Nie Heng, his tone was relatively casual.
Nie Heng laughed: "We are here to give you money."
"Oh?" Qin Mian declined to comment, "That's good, as long as Boss Nie does not think of earning money from me, I can rest easy."
Nie Heng reckoned that he knew about the ca
ed food. He cleared his throat, "Boss Qin is too serious. Qin Mian, knowing that you don't like to beat around the bush, I said it directly. Mu Chen and I want to purchase a large amount of your Xia Lin vegetables, the price can be negotiated. " He estimated that since Shuangzhuan Restaurant obtained this batch of vegetables, they had earned at least five thousand silvers. How could he not be jealous? Not only that, Shuangzhuan Restaurant had also relied on these vegetables to take away many of the customers within the Zhaoyang County, which had a clear impact on the business of the Nie clan restaurant.
Qin Mian indicated for them to drink some tea, "You should know that our family's vegetable production is not big, and only has enough to supply Shuangzhuan Restaurant."
"I do know that." Nie Heng reminded him, "However, you must also understand that no one has ever been able to grow summer vegetables in winter before. You can imagine how eye-catching your family's vegetables are. According to my intelligence, the news has already reached the city. He believed that it wouldn't be long before people would come one by one to find out more information. If you cooperate with Mu Chen and I, not only will it bring about rich profits, it will also help you resolve the majority of the pressure, so why wouldn't you do it? "
"Most of the pressure?" Qin Mian grasped the key word keenly.
Qin Mian revealed an interested look. Nie Heng was even more confident in persuading him, and nodded: "That's right. Our Nie Family's main clan is actually located in the Qingtian Mansion. As for the Mu Chen family, they were even better. He was not a person of Zhaoyang County, but a person of Beijing. For the time being, I ca
ot reveal his identity, but I can say this: If there is anyone who wants to take advantage of you guys to grow vegetables, Mu Chen can do anything to stop them. "
Lei Tia's pair of black eyes flashed. This was the reason why he was wary of Mu Chen. From the first time he had met Mu Chen, he had a faint feeling that Mu Chen's identity wasn't simple. The noble aura on Mu Chen's body was i
ate. No matter how hard he tried to suppress it, it would more or less leak out a little.
Qin Mian muttered to himself. He had hesitated a long time before growing the off-season vegetables. Just as Nie Heng had said, the unseasoned vegetables were indeed very eye-catching. Some savvy people might think from growing summer vegetables in the winter to see if they can grow summer fruits or grains in the winter. If anyone thought he had the ability to plant rice in the winter, it would be very troublesome. He made his decision later on because he did not interfere with the growing of vegetables in many places. It could be said that the reason the vegetables were grown in the opposite season was because Uncle Fu and the rest had invented them themselves. Even if someone came to investigate, they would not suspect Lei Tia and him.
Nie Heng's words suddenly gave rise to another idea in his mind.
He looked at Lei Tia curiously.
Lei Tia held his hand that was on the table, looked straight at Mu Chen, and slowly said: "I have a good friend who is extremely familiar with the capital, but I have never heard him mention that there is an illustrious family in the capital with the surname 'Mu'." If what Nie Heng said was true, "Mu Chen" was probably a fake name. But this test was necessary.
Mu Chen took out an order badge from his chest pocket, revealing only half of it to Lei Tia. Seeing a sharp ray of light flash past his eyes, Mu Chen was a little surprised and kept the order badge as if nothing had happened, "Boss Lei should believe it now?"
Qin Mian couldn't even see what it was, and looked towards Lei Tia.
Lei Tia squeezed his hand and nodded slightly.
Qin Mian thought about the word "safe" that he had always followed, and relaxed a little, his gaze turned to Nie Heng and Mu Chen, "Since it's like this, I wonder if the two of you are interested in growing vegetables in the opposite season?"
Nie Heng was overjoyed, almost knocking over his teacup, and asked solemnly: "Qin Mian, are you serious?" He had thought of buying a prescription that would overturn the season, so he reckoned that Qin Mian wouldn't be willing to sell it, so he didn't mention it. Unexpectedly, it was an accident.
"The recipe for anti-season vegetables can indeed be a hot potato. Your decision was wise. " Only now did Mu Chen put away his contempt for Qin Mian, and spoke while looking straight at him.
Qin Mian explained everything that he needed to say, "However, there is a condition. After we sell the prescription to you, our family can continue growing vegetables that are out of season."
Nie Heng picked up the teapot to replenish the tea for the four of them, "How many acres of vegetables does your family plan on growing?"
Qin Mian said: "No more than ten mu."
Nie Heng exchanged a look with Mu Chen, "Sure. You must ensure that the prescription is not leaked, otherwise you will have to compensate us according to the number of people exposed. "
Lei Tia and Mu Chen were spectating and watching from the sidelines, two people who could not allow the other party to take advantage of them.
"That's how it should be." Qin Mian asked, "Now, can you tell me what price you are willing to pay?"
Just as Nie Heng was about to open his mouth, Qin Mian raised his hand to stop him, "Perhaps the anti-season vegetables are also suitable for growing fruits, flowers, and even food. So, Boss Nie, you have to think carefully before opening your mouth."
Nie Heng choked and sighed in defeat. The treacherous merchant did not leave him with a single opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"Qin Mian, at least you and I are friends."
Qin Mian drank his tea calmly. "How can a shopping mall have friends when there are no father and son on the battlefield and no brothers in the romance field?"
Mu Chen laughed and clapped his hands, "What a 'there is no father and son on the battlefield, no brothers in the love field, and no friends in the shopping mall'. Boss Qin's words are reasonable. "
"Which side are you on?" Nie Heng stared at him speechlessly, dragged him to a corner, discussed quietly for a while, and then walked back.
"50,000 silver, how about it?" Nie Heng said. Doing business was supposed to be a bargaining process, so when he said fifty thousand yuan, it was a test.
Qin Mian shook his head, "Our family is not as powerful as yours. Firstly, we do not have as many people as you do. Otherwise, we will leave the recipe behind and slowly try it on for growing flowers, fruit and food. Just imagine, how much wealth would be brought about by then? Boss Nie, Young Master Mu, it seems that you don't have much sincerity. "
"You can name a price." Nie Heng laughed.
Qin Mian impolitely said: "One word, eighty thousand gold."
"Sixty thousand."
"Eighty thousand."
"Sixty-five thousand."
"Seventy-five thousand."
"Seventy thousand."
Qin Mian said slowly: "Eighty thousand."
Nie Heng helplessly shook his head, "Alright, seventy-five thousand. "However, we don't have that much silver on us. We'll come visit again tomorrow morning."
On the table beside him were the four treasures of the study, Qin Mian went to retrieve them, "Let us write the documents first. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to take you guys to my house through Shuangzhuan Restaurant. After signing the documents, I will have someone take you guys to visit the vegetable shed, and tell you in detail about the method to cultivate the vegetables that are out of season. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask them on the spot. "
Nie Heng and Mu Chen both admired his magnanimity.
Nie Heng said: "Your considerations are very thorough, it's settled then."
The two of them agreed on the terms and wrote them down. After careful deliberation, they made sure there were no more loopholes before writing down three copies.
After the official business was finished, Qin Mian brought up the topic of "taking on new and big risks".
"Both of you are diamond members. When are you free?"
Only then did Nie Heng remember, "Oh! I need to find someone to study it after I get the prescription, so I'm afraid I won't have the time. "
Mu Chen regretfully said: "In a few days, I also want to return to Beijing."
Qin Mianxin said that if none of you were to go, it would be even easier for us, "Then that's too bad."
"Boss Qin, I feel that it's not appropriate for you to set the time of your 'big adventure' to winter. Since it's so cold at this time of the year, I'm afraid that no one is willing to go out."
"Young Master Mu is right. We will consider Young Master Mu's suggestion and strive for improvement."
Nie Heng said: "Since neither of us have the time to participate, as a diamond member, will we be able to receive compensation from the Shuangzhuan Restaurant?"
Qin Mian shook his head, "Your words are wrong. The reason why you all are unable to participate in the 'great adventure' is because of you guys, not your Shuangzhuan Restaurant. So, please forgive us for being powerless. "
Nie Heng and Mu Chen were helpless, they couldn't possibly take back another twenty thousand taels of silver. Shuangzhuan Restaurant had long ago said that the money they had saved could not be extracted.
Qin Mian thought about it and said, "Tomorrow, you can pick some sweet oranges in the orchard."
Nie Heng and Mu Chen looked at each other and laughed, "I agree. It's getting late, let's go back to the Zhaoyang County now, see you tomorrow. "
"Please."
As he sat in the carriage and left the Shuangzhuan Restaurant, Mu Chen said to Nie Heng: "I'm afraid that Boss Lei's identity is not as simple as being a farmer's."
"Why do you say that?" Nie Heng asked.
Mu Chen said in a bland voice, "First of all, it was his imposing ma
er. Furthermore, when I took out the order badge just now, I only allowed him to see the decorations on the bottom of the order badge, and he seemed to recognize it. "How could a farmer have ever seen such a token?"
Nie Heng nodded his head, "You know I have always been cautious. When I first went to the restaurant to check on Lei Tia, I only knew that he left home at the age of twelve, and had not even been back for two years, and I did not manage to find anything related to the ten years he had been gone. However, their Lei Family s have been people of the Qingshan Village for generations, so there is no need for them to worry too much. "
"It's good that you know what you're doing."
Since the begi
ing of the harvest, Qin Mian and Lei Tia had been busy with family matters. They rarely came to the town and accumulated a lot of accounts. The two of them got someone to bring the Shuangzhuan Restaurant books of account to the lounge. After checking them out, they ate a hotpot in the Shuangzhuan Restaurant at noon. In the afternoon, the two continued to check their accounts. They were busy until the first light of night came on before they finished looking through the last account book.
The final total caused both of them to be in high spirits. It was worth the hustle and bustle of a year.
Just as Qin Mian stretched, both of Lei Tia's hands fell on his shoulders and started to massage him.
"Tia, from the start of the construction of the Shuangzhuan Restaurant until now, you have earned a little more than 130,000 silver. No matter what, we should at least have a small amount of assets, right? " Qin Mian was all smiles, a row of white teeth was revealed outside the window.
"Yes." Lei Tia nodded, "My wife, I will bring you to the city for the Spring Lantern Festival."
"Alright!" Qin Mianxin's heart felt warm. This is a honeymoon? He rubbed his hot face and looked at the sky. "It's late. Are you going back tonight?"
"Let's go back." Lei Tia stared at him with fiery eyes, "No matter how good the VIP room is, it is not my home."
