BXBX NOVEL Chapter 113 Thiefs Reminiscence
Regardless of whether it was food, fruits, or jam, Shuangzhuan Restaurant tasted even better than other places. The guests of Shuangzhuan Restaurant had long understood this point. Even competitors of Shuangzhuan Restaurant would buy and resell it in large quantities. No matter what, Qin Mian and Lei Tia had earned money.
As the production of the powder-strip workshop increased, the demand for the supply of Shuangzhuan Restaurant was more than enough. Qin Mian decided to expand his production once again and sell the sweet potato and potato powder at a price of 100 gold coins per kilogram. Not only that, but like the noodles, he also made green, red, and purple pieces, each weighing 150 yuan. During the first month of selling, the powder workshop made a net profit of over 700 taels of silver.
The operation of the winery was on the right track. Whether it was the wine or the fruit wine, they both had an indescribable fragrance, allowing the drinker to taste the slight pleasure of smoking more subtly. As a result, 90% of the people who liked to drink A-list Heavenly Wine thought that it was worth it compared to the others.
Considering the situation in Qin Mian and the Lei Tia Family, which required milk to make a lot of cakes, Qin Mian made Lei Tia buy five cows from the city.
In mid-late August, the peach garden was about to close. Qin Mian stopped supplying the peaches at the Shuangzhuan Restaurant and sent the last batch of peaches to the Deng Family Village with twenty kilograms. The old house gave twenty kilograms to each of the servants at home, and the remaining ones were all sold at the price of one hundred gold coins per kilogram.
And then the grapes and the yellow peach began to ripen again.
There were only two grape trees, which were enough for Qin Mian and the others to eat.
The yellow peach was not resistant to storage, but it was very suitable for ca
ed food. Furthermore, the taste was very sweet, even Qin Mian, who did not like eating sweet food, liked it. He and Lei Tia went to the county and ordered a thousand small clay pots with a liter and a half capacity to be used for ca
ed yellow peach. Of course, the tank also had a trademark and brand name.
The two of them hired a group of skilled women in the village and plucked the ripe yellow peach. After washing it clean, they cut it into half, ate the core, and then cut the yellow peach into pieces. Pour water into the pot, put sugar in the pot until melted, then pour the yellow peach and fruit into the pot. After boiling the fire, turn the heat down and cook until the pulp is soft and hard. Finally, put the pulp into a clean clay pot, filled to 80%, sealed.
After making a thousand ca
ed yellow peaches, Qin Mian used the excuse of sending them to the ice storehouse in the town as an excuse, but in reality, all of them had been taken into his storage space. When the fall and winter season came, he could sell them at the price of one tael of silver for one can, making him able to earn a thousand taels of silver!
The remaining yellow peaches were basically all supplied to Shuangzhuan Restaurant.
The guests of Shuangzhuan Restaurant discovered that after eating fruit of the Leisurely Dwelling House for a long time, their physical condition had obviously improved. Especially the women, who discovered that the spots and marks on their faces had become a lot lighter and their skin had become a little whiter. This made Shuangzhuan Restaurant\'s fruits, fruit juices, jam and cakes even more popular.
Not only did Leisurely Dwelling House\'s orchard bring wealth to Qin Mian and the others, it also gave the villagers a chance to do odd jobs. They helped Leisurely Dwelling House pick fruits, wash the fruits, cut the fruits, transport the fruits, and so on. For those women who spent two days to embroider a black bag for sale but could only earn one or two cents, this money was just like picking it up! The villagers\' days were much better than before, and they treated Qin Mian and Lei Tia much better.
At the same time, his Leisurely Dwelling House had also attracted the attentions of some people who were interested in it.
In the middle of the night, as Qin Mian was sleeping soundly, he heard an intense barking coming from the Processing Factory. He quivered and got up from the bed, almost falling down from the bed in the darkness.
"Tia, there\'s a thief?"
"Go back to sleep, I\'ll go take a look." Lei Tia quickly put on his clothes, and in a flash, he disappeared from the window.
Outside, the moonlight and the stars shone, and the frogs and the Summer Bug cried incessantly, but the barking could not be concealed.
Qin Mian sat on the bed and yawned. He was not completely awake yet. They weren\'t really worried. On Processing Factory\'s side, there would be two servants left on night duty every night, and those six dogs on Processing Factory were no ordinary dogs. Two of them were wolfdogs, and the other four were ferocious dogs. The six dogs were fierce and ordinary people didn\'t dare to approach them. After Qin Mian fed the Spirit Spring Water to them, they gained a bit of intelligence. At night, after work, the night servants would untie them, and even if the thieves did go in they would catch them.
Qin Mian put on his clothes, picked up the lantern and entered the Processing Factory s through the corner of the gate. Looking at the torches and the moving figures in the distance, he increased his pace, and shouted loudly: "Tia, are you alright?"
"I\'m fine."
The two thieves were being held back by Lei Qin Ri and Lei Qin Jian. One of them was lying on the ground, pressed down by a wolfhound. His body was trembling and he didn\'t dare to move. Beside him, the other five dogs were staring at him with their mouths wide open.
There was a long wooden ladder placed on the wall not far away. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two wooden ladder co
ected by a rope. Outside the wall, another wooden ladder appeared.
Qin Mian approached the three thieves and was startled, "Zhou Erhao, Zhao Si Fa, Li San Lai?"
Zhou Erhao sneaked a peek at the dog mouth three inches away from him and turned his head to beg for mercy. His voice trembled, "Brother Qin, please forgive me this time. It\'s all because of the two of them! " He sighed in his heart. I didn\'t expect these dogs to be so alert. Not long after the three of them climbed over the wall, they were discovered by these dogs. However, they were prepared for this. They left a few steamed buns with knockout drugs in order to pour them in, but who knew that these dogs wouldn\'t eat steamed buns or even smell them?
How would he know that these three dogs would eat their fill three times a day? Furthermore, they had eaten their fill well, and with their intelligence, they had even been trained simply by Lei Tia.
"Bullshit!" Li Sanlai cursed loudly, "The idea of putting knockout drugs in Steamed Bun was suggested by you!"
"Yes!" Zhao Si agreed, "It was Zhou Erhao who urged me and Li Sanli to do this!"
"Motherf * cker, it was obviously the two of you urging me on!" Zhou Erhao glared at them fiercely, "Brother Qin, believe me, Zhao Si Fa always hates that you don\'t hire him for work. Li San Lai is even more despicable, he wants to steal your fan!"
"No, he\'s the one who tried to steal the prescription!" When Lei Qin Jian used a bit of strength, he cried out in pain and did not dare to move even an inch. He was shocked on the inside that this brat only had a dozen years of strength.
"Shut up!" Qin Mian stopped them and said coldly, "I had thought that the thieves were people from another village, and I never expected that it would be you. Zhao Si Fa, if I remember correctly, your wife is still working in the powder workshop, right? "
Zhao Si lowered his head and did not make a sound.
"Eldest Young Master, Young Master, why don\'t we send them to the officials!" Lei Qinjian said angrily, "Fortunately, our dogs are smart, otherwise, they would have really done it."
Qin Mian frowned. Stealing can be a small matter. No matter what, everyone came from the same village. If they really sent the officials away, the families of these three people would definitely hate them and it might cause even more trouble. But if they did not deal with them, these people would think that he and Lei Tia were easy to bully.
He asked Lei Tia: "Tia, what do we do?"
Lei Tia said indifferently: "Tomorrow morning I will see Precinct Head."
"No!" The faces of Zhou Erhao and the other two immediately changed. How simple the country people, swindling and stealing are despised by people. Once they were sent to the Precinct Head, their reputation would be completely ruined.
"Brother Qin, brother Ley ??"
Lei Tia said coldly: "Take him away."
After dawn, Qin Mian and Lei Tia headed towards the Precinct Head\'s house. Lei Qin Li, Lei Qin Jian and Lei Qinzhong followed behind with Zhou Erhao in tow.
When the villagers saw this situation, they immediately guessed that something happened last night and followed behind to watch the show.
Zhou Erhao, Li Sanli and Zhao Si\'s daughter-in-law realised that their husband had disappeared in the middle of the night. Only now did he realise that they were captured by Qin Mian and Lei Tia, so he hurried over to ask them what had happened.
Zhou Erhao and the other two shouted their grievances.
"Brother Qin, is there a misunderstanding?" Zhou Erhao was anxious, worried and a little guilty.
Qin Mian said in a bland voice, "Whether it is a misunderstanding, once I saw Precinct Head, I naturally would understand."
The group grew larger and larger. A few villagers guessed that these three people had went to Processing Factory to steal something last night. They did not know if he had really guessed correctly.
When Precinct Head saw this group of people, he let everyone enter the courtyard. The courtyard of the Precinct Head was very large, it was used for discussing big things that happened in the village.
"Lei Tia, my wife, tell me, what is going on? What happened to the three of them? " When Precinct Head saw the three of them messing around in the village, he immediately guessed that this matter was going to be tricky.
In the eyes of the villagers, Lei Tia was the one who was in charge of Leisurely Dwelling House and the Processing Factory. Qin Mian indicated for Lei Tia to speak.
Lei Tia cupped his hands: "Precinct Head, sorry to trouble you. Lei Qingrui and Lei Qinjian are the most clear on this matter. It\'s better to just listen to what they have to say. "
Lei Qin Li bowed respectfully towards Precinct Head, then said: "Reporting to Precinct Head, last night, the three of them climbed over the walls of the Processing Factory in an attempt to steal from Lei Qin Jian and I. "This matter is certain. There is evidence of the wooden ladder and the drugged Steamed Bun." Although it was short and concise, it cut straight to the point.
When the villagers heard, they looked at Zhou Erhao, Li Sanlai and Zhao Si with contempt. His wife was diligent, and was still working in the powder workshop in Processing Factory.
