"Uncle Li Zheng flattered me." Qin Mian took a look at the paddy in the field and praised, "Uncle is worthy of being a good farmer. Seeing that the ears of the paddy are full, there must be a good harvest this year." In fact, it's a left-handed compliment. This paddy was much worse than what he'd seen in previous life.
"Hahaha…" Li Zheng burst out laughing, knowing that Qin Mian was trying to pick up good words, but it was so simple that it made people felt at ease, "Nah, your field's also good."
Qin Mian made modest remarks and didn't talk to Li Zheng anymore. The so-called catching up was not a business transaction but these words were truthful when it came to interpersonal communication. It would seem hypocritical to say too much good words.
Lei Tie ate the chopped onion meat pancakes and only when he finished did he asked: "Have you eaten?"
Qin Mian said: "No yet. I'll go back now and deliver your lunch at noon."
"Send it to the grain-sunning ground." Lei Tie caught a sight of Lei Xiangren walking his way in big strides and he stuffed the basket into Qin Mian's arms. "Go back."
Qin Mian also saw Lei Xiangren. He took the basket and left. He didn't like Lei Xiangren very much and if he could avoid contact with him, he would. Lei Tie was Lei Xiangren's eldest brother, so it would have to be wronged to deal with him.
After a few steps, he turned his head and smiled sympathetically at Lei Tie.
Lei Tie was baffled, he raised his chin slightly.
Qin Mian guessed that Lei Tie was urging him to go quickly. Smiling, he quickened his pace and went home leisurely.
Li Zheng took in the whole scene of the situation here and shook his head secretly. He ate up the chopped onion meat pancake in two-three bites and he continued to harvest paddy.
"Eldest brother, Father told me to ask you to harvest paddy."
"My paddy is still not completely collected."
"When you have finished harvesting this field, go there."
"No, I still have to thresh the grain later."
Qin Mian had gone far but still faintly heard Lei Xiangren's indubitable tone and Lei Tie's indifferent response. He laughed silently and praised Lei Tie in his heart: Good!
When he got home, he filled his stomach and washed their clothes first. Then he found that there was a bamboo pole between the two trees in front of the house. The two ends of the bamboo pole were fixed on the branch of the trees which as tall as a person and tightly bound with cloth strips.
This must be the "clothesline" made by Lei Tie.
A smile involuntarily emerged from the corners of Qin Mian's lips. After hanging the clothes, he went back to the house to start his "first pot of goldplan".
There were two main things that he was good at in the previous life; one was farming, the other was gourmet food. In today's backward era, planting food in the field was toilsome and it's impossible to make any money. He could only start with gourmet food.
Yesterday in the town, due to the rushing time, he just strolled about and discovered the first business opportunity manual noodle maker. He had calculated that there were more than 20 noodle shops in the town and their noodles were all made in this way: first, mixed the flour well, then rolled the dough into thin sheets with a rolling pin and then cut the noodles into strips with skilled knife work. This was not only tiring, but also toilsome. He believed that if he made the manual noodle maker, it would sell.
Qin Mian found the paper left over from yesterday's window pasting, took out a pencil from the space, and drew all the parts of the manual noodle maker, including the container for the dough, the handle and the templates with several small holes on it. The principle of manual noodle maker was also simple, mainly by extrusion, somewhat similar to air pump. Placed the dough in the fuselage, held the handle and pressed it down, the dough would be extruded from several holes at the bottom and became strips of noodles. If one wanted to eat thin noodles, just used the base template with smaller holes and for flat noodle, used the base template with larger holes. It was very convenient.
After he was done drawing and verified it, Qin Mian put away the blue print, took out the oddments of cloth he bought yesterday, found the manual sewing machine from the space and sewed several pairs of socks. Then, he did fitting and felt it was a little loose. He sewed two belts at the sock's opening, which could be tied like leggings to prevent slipping. The socks were ugly in appearance, but better in fine stitching. Even if Lei Tie saw it, he would only think that Qin Mian was good at needlework and would not think that he had a cheat.
He washed the several pairs of socks and hung them on the bamboo pole outside.
Looking at the sun, it's almost noon.
Qin Mian picked some vegetables directly from the space and prepared lunch. He madewith the remaining lean meat of yesterday,and. Lei Tie had a large appetite, so he directly filled the cooked rice in a big soup bowl. He also put half of the three dishes into the bowl, covered it with a plate and put in the basket. In the same way, he used a water jar to fill cold boiled water.
The vegetables in the space tasted delicious. Qin Mian wiped out the rest of the dishes, burped two times before he picked up the basket to deliver lunch to Lei Tie.
The grain-sunning ground, which used to be the place where he and Lei Tie roasted corn, covered an area of about one and a half mu and was divided into eight squares of similar size. When Qin Mian arrived, the villagers wearing straw hats were in full swing busy under the big sun. Some of them were speedily spreading out the newly picked paddy crops, ready to thresh; the quick farmers were already driving the oxen to pull the stone roller to crush it, raising the whip and making loud yells from time to time; and some villagers put the threshed grains into sacks because there were others waiting to use the grain-sunning ground; below the haystack beside the grain-sunning ground, three sweaty men sat in the shade, gobbling food and talking loudly.
There were more than 20 people on the grain-sunning ground. Somehow, Qin Mian saw Lie Tie standing alone in the corner of the grain-sunning ground, bending over to spread out the paddy crops.

Beside Lei Tie, there were bundles of paddy tied by a rope made of straw. He untied the rope and spread the paddy on the ground. The sweat on his cheek rolled down one by one and disappeared onto the paddy, the bare sturdy arms were shining under the scorching sun.
Standing not far away was a few idle women chatting away with baskets hanging on their arms, about to send food to their own men.
There were another four to five farmers gathered for meal and spoke loudly.
"Lao Liu, your family only harvested paddy in the field south of the village this morning, right? That field is less than 7 fen. I saw you pulled seven or eight carts to the grain-sunning ground in the morning, such good harvest ah! We are fellow villagers, if you have any secret recipe for farming, you must have hid it." The speaker's face looked envious.
Another man was annoyed by what he said. The man sneered and said: "Who in few miles of the village doesn't know Third Brother you likes to hang around inother people'sfields when you don't have anything to do? If I really have a secret recipe, can I hide it from you?"
Several others laughed heartily at the words and didn't cut in, taking pleasure to watch them fight.
The pervious speaker laughed hollowly, "Look at what you say. Even forbid people who had nothing to do to roam around casually?"
Everyone laughed even louder. They all knew what Third Brother thought.
Qin Mian glanced at them but didn't see any acquaintances and went directly to Lei Tie's side.
"Brother Tie, eat first."
"Nn." Lei Tie followed after him to the short willow tree beside the grain-sunning ground and took the basket in his hand.
Qin Mian liked to be clean. He couldn't stand the sweat on the man's face and took out the water jar in the basket. "I'll pour the water, wash your face."
Lei Tie nodded and took off the new face washcloth hanging on his neck to soak it with cold water. He wiped his face, neck and hands and suddenly felt much cooler.
Lei Tie sat on a bundle of paddy as he uncovered the lid and saw the dishes in the bowl. His black pupils were dyed with some faint warmth, "Have you eaten?"
"Yes." Qin Mian sat down beside him and looked around casually.
The grain-sunning ground was located at the edge of the village. It was an open space and the trees around were not dense that one could see the scenery in all directions. In the field, people were busy transporting the harvested paddy to the grain-sunning ground. Some people used oxen to pull the cart, others use donkeys, more people relied on their shoulders to carry using a sturdy shoulder pole hanging a bundle at each end and the heavy paddy tottering on their shoulders along the pace. Although tired, the farmers still wore a satisfied smile on their faces. This year's harvest was slightly better than that of the previous years. Although they had to pay a lot of land taxes, there were still some left for them and their families also could solidly eat few meals of white rice.
Qin Mian turned his head to ask Lei Tie, "We don't have animal power. Do we need to borrow from others?"
Lei Tie took a bite of chive omelet and spoke profusely with strong fragrance. "There are too many monks and too little gruel. If I can't borrow it, I'll pull the stone roller myself."
Qin Mian was surprised and opened his mouth but he didn't know what to say. Pulling by manpower? His eyes drifted to an idle stone roller beside the grain-sunning ground. This thing weighed at least 400~500 jin. Even if he could pull it, it would be very tiring, right? At this time, he felt that their family was poor, without a house or a cart. Although this was ancient era, the cart was also divided into 3-6-9 grade. Donkey cart was equivalent to modern three-wheeled vehicle, ox cart was equivalent to modern car and horse carriage was equivalent to modern BMW level. Qin Mian's goal in this life was to buy a cart. Don't say buying a BMW, having a three-wheeled vehicle was good enough.
With a large bowl in his hand, Zhang Dashuan came over with big strides while eating a big mouthful of meal. He was accompanied by a black faced young man in his early twenties with handsome facial features and a tall, thin figure, also carrying a big black porcelain bowl in his hand as he pushed food into his mouth and made a loud chewing sound.
"Tiezi, what's tasty food are you eating?"
"Brother Zhang." Qin Mian got up to greet.
Zhang Dashuan introduced the young man beside him to Qin Mian, "This is my neighbor, Wu Di."
"Greeting, sister." Wu Di had a smile on his face and his eyes were very lively when he looked at Lei Tie's bowl, "Brother Tie, what kind of food does sister make for you? I can smell it all the way."
Several women in the field saw this and whispered.
"Are Zhang Dashuan and Wu Di stupid? What kind of people are Lei Tie and Qin Mian? They (ZDWD) actually went to join those (LTQM)."
The woman who was talking was glared at by her man, "Do you have to care about other people's family?"
Lei Tie moved the bowl to Zhang Dashuan's direction. "My wife made sauted shredded pork with green pepper, chive omelet and cold eggplant salad."
He ate in refined manner. Currently, there were still many dishes in the bowl.
Qin Mian looked into the bowl of Zhang Dashuan and Wu Di quietly. There were two salted eggs in Zhang Dashuan's bowl and Wu Di's bowl was full of vegetables, but he could see that there was much oil.
Zhang Dashuan unceremoniously took a clip of shredded pork with green pepper from Lei Tie's bowl and upon seeing the greedy but embarrassed appearance of Wu Di, he laughed. He squatted down on the side. They were all families of peasant, who didn't pay much attention about chewing with mouth closed and lay [to rest] with silent. "Tiezi, how are you going to thresh your paddy?" While he spoke, he glanced at Wu Di either by design or accident.
Wu Di looked at the spread out paddy. His eyes immediately lit up and he hurriedly opened his mouth before Lei Tie answered, "Brother Tie, my family only harvested less than a half of the paddy in our field. After this, we are not going to thresh it. In the afternoon, we will continue to harvest. You can use our donkey."
For fear that Lei Tie would be silly, Qin Mian took the bowl out of his hand and brought it in front of Wu Di, "Many thanks. If you don't dislike it, try some."
"No dislike, no dislike. How fragrant! Thanks Brother Tie, thanks sister." Wu Di grinned and stretched out his chopsticks, but not taking too much. He took a bit of shredded pork with green pepper and a small piece of chive omelet.
Lei Tie still kept the posture of holding the bowl with his left hand. Looking at Qin Mian, his gaze both carried helplessness and a little connivance.
Zhang Dashuan saw it clearly and quickly took back his gaze, bowed his head to eat.
"Eat." Qin Mian returned the bowl to Lei Tie, patted him on the shoulder as a token of comfort and said generously, "If you like it, I can cook these three dishes for dinner."
Lei Tie nodded, mixed the remaining dishes with the cooked rice and began to eat again.
Qin Mian was kind to the young man, "Wu Di, thank you so much for today. After done with the busy season, Brother Tie and I will invite you to dinner."
Wu Di waved his hand, "It's not worth being anything. Anyway, my donkey is idle."
"Just agree on this." Qin Mian insisted.
Wu Di then no longer refused and happily nodded, "Then, deference is no substitute for obedience. I've heard Brother Zhang said that sister is good at craftsmanship. I've the luck to get something nice to eat."
"At that time, I'll have to bother Brother Zhang to accompany him then." Qin Mian said to Zhang Dashuan. He didn't fail to see that Zhang Dashuan intended to help.
Zhang Dashuan and Lei Tie had a good relationship, it would be too hypocritical to be polite and so he laughingly said, "Of course that's fine."
After finishing lunch, Zhang Dashuan and Wu Di left in a hurry as they would have to continue to be busy in the afternoon.
Lei Tie ate all the food and drank half the water.
"Go back. Sunning. "
Qin Mian didn't get up at once, but asked: "When will you finish the work here?"
Lei Tie answered: "Four hours top."
Qin Mian asked tentatively: "What about your parents' side?"
Lei Tie said in a low voice: "We take care of ourselves first."
Qin Mian nodded in his heart with great satisfaction, "I'll go back and tidy up first, then come to help."
"No need." Lei Tie looked at the sun as he refused.
Qin Mian didn't say anything verbally, he had his own opinion. He went home to wash the dishware, locked the door, made a straw hat out of bamboo strips, took the basket with him as well and went to the grain-sunning ground. He didn't want to be in the sun either, but since he and Lei Tie were a family for the time being, he had to take some responsibility for this family. Otherwise, he wasn't living in a reasonable way.
When Wu Di's family done with the donkey, Lei Tie led the donkey over and took the stone roller to begin threshing the paddy. Qin Mian turned the paddy over with a pitchfork and the process continued on. After so many times doing this, almost two hours later, Lei Tie stopped, took over the fork in Qin Mian's hand, picked up the stalk and saw to it that the grains had basically fallen off. He nodded to Qin Mian and led the donkey away.
After threshing, the paddy stalks becomes rice straws, which could be used as burning material or fodder. Qin Mian picked up all the straws with the pitchfork and piled them aside. When he picked them up, he had to shake them a few times to make sure that all the grains in the stalks were shaken off. Afterwards, he swept them with a bamboo broom to form a pile.
When Lei Tie came back, he used a wooden shovel to winnow. The wind blew in waves; the dust and the chaff in the grains were blown away along the wind, leaving only clean grains.
Their one mu of paddy field eventually harvested 600 jin of paddy, filled in five big sacks. After sunning, it's about 400 jin, which was too low for modern society, but it's not bad for this era.
Lei Tie easily picked up a sack onto his shoulder and carried the grain home in five trips. The straws were all tied up and transported back home the same way.
On the last trip, they picked some vegetables in Lei's vegetable garden.
Lei Tie brought clean clothes to bathe in the river but Qin Mian bathed in hot water at home before he started to prepare dinner.
The dishes for dinner were the same as they had at noon but there was no lean meat left, the sauted shredded pork with green pepper turned into sauted streaky pork with green pepper.
Lei Tie ate a lot, as if he wanted to make up for what he ate less at noon. The green pepper was very spicy, but the spiciness lessened with the cooked rice. Both of them were satisfied.
After the dinner, the sun would set.
"I have something to discuss with you." Qin Mian said as he cleared away the dishware.
"What is it?" Lei Tie looked at the socks hung on the bamboo pole outside the house.

Qin Mian took the dishware into the kitchen. Coming out, he wiped his hands, took out the blueprint and handed it over to Lei Tie. "This is my drawing of a manual noodle maker."
A manual noodle maker? Lei Tie looked at the paper doubtfully. First of all, he felt that the strokes were very delicate that he didn't know what it was drawn with. For the moment, he put his doubts in his heart and looked at the contents of the drawing. This little wife had many doubtful points on him, just like this one.
The drawing was clear, concise and easy to understand.
Qin Mian sat down beside Lei Tie. "Didn't we go to town yesterday? I found out that most of the noodles in the noodle shops in town are freshly-made, freshly eat, which is very time-consuming. This manual noodle maker can make noodles quickly and store noodles for a long time after they are air-dried. I have two ideas. Either sell this blueprint to a craftsman, or find a craftsman to make noodle makers and sell to taverns and noodle shops. It can be sold for a good price."
Lei Tie stared at him for a moment and he began to speak but then hesitated. This little wife of his seemed to be in a hurry to make money. His eyes went back to the drawing, a smear of deep pondering streaked across his eyes, "If it's as you said, why don't you keep it and run your own noodle shop?"
He didn't expect that this ancient man had such quick thinking. Qin Mian looked at him approvingly, "I think so, too. But we are common people without a backer. Once such a good thing is fancied by powerful and influential people, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." He also had a lot of money making ideas, not particularly concerned about the noodle maker. At present, the most important thing was to earn enough money to build tile-roofed house with the fastest speed. He didn't want to live in a thatched cottage.
Lei Tie had a change of heart and changed his opinion, "The price can't be low."
"Of course." Qin Mian nodded affirmatively, "isn't this new technology anyway? I think so. If I sell the blueprint, I will sell it for 50 silver tael. If I sell the noodle maker, I will sell one noodle maker for 2 silver tael. How is it?"
Lei Tie said: "5 tael."
Qin Mian couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that Lei Tie was also a man who loved money. When he thought about it carefully, 5 silver tael was equivalent to 5000 yuan in modern times. It shouldn't be expensive for those noodle shops.
He frowned in some embarrassment. "No matter who it is sold to, it's better to make a finished product. But if we find a craftsman to do it, won't they disclose the content of the drawing?"
Lei Tie said in a low voice: "I'll do it."
Qin Mian looked surprised. "You will do it?"
Lei Tie nodded, "Going to the mountain tomorrow to chop wood."
Qin Mian was curious about Lei Tie's experience in the past decade. What's actually did he experienced? Unlike the country folk, Lei Tie could hunt, read and worked as a carpenter.
Lei Tie stood up. "Go to sleep."
"Wait." Qin Mian stopped him and said, "Since I have come up with an idea to make money for our family, shouldn't you wash the dishware from now on? This family belongs to both of us. I have expended, you should also expend."
Lei Tie was taken aback and without saying a word, he turned to the kitchen.
Ah, good man. Qin Mian gave his back a thumbs up and followed him in. "There is hot water in the wok. Use the hot water otherwise it won't be washed clean. After washing, rinse three times. "
Lei Tie didn't make a sound, but did as told.
Rest assured, Qin Mian took the mouthwash cup and face cloth to wash up. Before he entered the house, he conveniently collected the clothes on the clothes-drying pole. After a day drying under in the sun, there was a smell of sunshine on the clothes. He folded the clothes and placed them separately; eight pairs of socks were also placed separately, four pairs for each person.
After putting things in order, he climbed onto bed and beat out a yawn.
After a while, Lei Tie came in.
"I made you four pairs of socks, in the trunk."
"Nn."
Qin Mian raised his eyebrows. No thanks? He turned over to the wall and was ready to sleep.
"I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow."
"Need to grain-sunning, someone has to keep watch."
"Don't worry, I have a way." Qin Mian composedly said.
Lei Tie didn't speak. Qin Mian adjusted his sleeping posture and closed his eyes.
In the middle of the night, Qin Mian dreamed of looking for a toilet and he woke up with a start. His underbelly distended. When he was in school, he had a habit of going to the toilet before he took an exam, took a bus/train or went to bed. Otherwise, his mind would be uneasy. He drank too much water in the afternoon and forgot to go to the toilet before he went to bed. Now he was woken up by the urge to pee.
The room was pitch-black. He groped about in the dark as he got up and his hands pressed on a warm and sturdy thing. There was a whiff of heat in his ear, accompanied by a hoarse voice, "Had nightmare?"
Qin Mian then found out that he was holding Lei Tie's waist and what he pressed on was Lei Tie's stomach. He quickly withdrawn his hand as his heart beat faster and his tongue tied, "No. I, that is, I want to go to the lavatory."
"Don't move."
His shoulder was pressed down before he heard a rustling sound. Then he heard a light "zap" and a spark scuttled in the dark. After another sound, the oil lamp was lit by Lei Tie.
Qin Mian jumped out of bed, put on his shoes and rushed out of the room.
Lei Tie heard the door bolt slid away quickly, the corner of his lips drew up an obvious arc but disappeared quickly and then he closed his eyes.
Qin Mian didn't go to the latrine behind the house but rushed to the edge of the bamboo forest, quickly drained his bladder and then went back to the house at ease. He got on the bed first, then blew out the oil lamp and deliberately lay down next to the edge of the bed.
After falling asleep, he sensed a heat source beside him. He went over it unconsciously and was held by the similarly sound asleep man, who habitually stretched out his arms without realizing it.

"Cockadoodledoo" In the early morning, the roosters in the village were crowing one after another. Qin Mian yawned and opened his bleary eyes. What caught his eyes was him hugging a man's waist and there were shock and confusion in his eyes. He raised his head abruptly and came into contact with a pair of bright and serene eyes.
"I came over to you myself?" Qin Mian asked.
Lei Tie nodded. When the rooster first crowed, he was ready to get up, but he was held tightly.
"Really?"
Lei Tie nodded again.
"Do you mind?" Qin Mian narrowed his eyes.
Lei Tie was calm as he shook his head slightly.
Qin Mian calmly moved his arms away and sat up. "That's fine then." He had no parents since he was a child, so he felt insecure and liked to curl up and hold something when he went to sleep. He thought that sleeping with a stranger would get rid of the problem, but habits and instinct prevailed.
He opened the trunk to get socks, threw a pair of large ones to Lei Tie and put on the new socks and shoes. After washing his face, he was fully clear-headed.
Lei Tie felt the socks and put them on.
The two had a clear division of labor. Qin Mian lit a fire and prepared breakfast; Lei Tie took a broom and cleaned up the open space at the entrance. He carried out several sacks of and spread them on the ground, golden-bright and dazzling. The freshness of the rice grain subsequently overflowed and the air in the morning smelled better.
Breakfast was a fewand .
"Are there any honest and obedient children in the village?" Qin Mian took a bite of the veggie pancake and looked at the rice grain on the ground. The golden color was dazzling under the sunlight.
Lei Tie understood, "Let them look after the rice grain?"
"Those children can't do any heavy work at home, but it's still possible to look after the rice grain. Find an obedient child to help and buy him some snacks from the town." Qin Mian tasted the congee and after determining it was not hot, he took a big sip.
Lei Tie said: "Go to the grain-sunning ground later."
After breakfast, they locked the door and went out. Lei Tie carried a saw, a rope and his bow set; Qin Mian carried a basket on his back, he could perhaps dig some wild vegetables or pick some wild fruits on the mountain.
The grain-sunning ground was still so bustling. The adults were busy husking the rice grain, the children were running around the grain-sunning ground, some were playing hide and seek, giggling behind the haystacks; while the more mischievous children were having somersault competition on the spread rice grain, letting out crisp big laughter from time to time, even if they were sweating, they didn't feel hot.
Qin Mian noticed a seven or eight year old boy looking dignified and strong, sitting alone in the corner holding his knees and seemed bored. So he beckoned the boy.
The boy came running over in puzzlement, blinked and looked at him with distrust.
Qin Mian gave him a gentle smile, "What's your name?"
"Xiao Hu." There were familiar villagers nearby, so Xiao Hu was not shy at all. He answered honestly.
Qin Mian asked again: "Xiao Hu, do you want to eat snack?"
The boy nodded with a little embarrassment but at the thought of delicious snacks, his eyes showed craving.
"We live in the old house behind the village. As long as you do us a favor, we'll give you a packet of snacks." Qin Mian said.
Lei Tie quietly watched Qin mian "abduct" the child.
Xiao Hu's eyes brightened, but he was a little suspicious. "Really?"
"Of course it is true." Qin Mian said patiently, "We are going to cut down trees on the mountain. We want to find someone to help us look at the rice grain outside. If you want to help, I'll buy you a packet of snacks from the town. Are your father and your mother here? You can ask them for permission."
"Wait a bit." Xiao Hu ran to a black faced man in his thirties and looked back, as if he was afraid that Qin Mian and Lei Tie would be gone.
The man looked their way and nodded to Xiao Hu.
Xiao Hu immediately showed a happy smile and like a small cannon shot, he rushed over.
"My father allowed!"
Qin Mian nodded to the man and took Xiao Hu away. He left Xiao Hu at the door of his house and brought a chair out for him, telling him not to let birds and chickens eat the rice grain.
Xiao Hu sat on the chair, shook his small legs and waved his hand like a little adult, "Don't worry! I will do what I promise you!"
Qin Mian laughed in spite of himself and left with Lei Tie towards the back of the mountain.
This mountain was called Mount Cloud Summit and was the highest mountain nearby. It's tall and steep, seemingly be able to reach the sky. Hence it's called Mount Cloud Summit. The mountain was lush with trees and wild animals frequently roamed about that the villagers dared not come here, only the brave hunters dared to go deeper.
As soon as they entered the forest, the dense leaves blocked the sun, the light was dim and the temperature was a few degrees lower that Qin Mian shivered before he adapted to it. The path in the mountain was not easy to walk, overgrown with weeds and in some places, there was no sunlight all the year round, there were also morning dew and autumn fog permeated, making the soil wet which was easy to slip.
Lei Tie had experienced and purposely chose uneven area to set foot, walked safely and securely. With him leading the way, Qin Mian followed his footprints and looked around in hope of finding some treasures. To him, the mountain was a treasure waiting for his exploration. The birds in the forest woke up too with the twittering came from nowhere, the sound was particularly clear and lyrical in the morning forest.
Lei Tie walked slowly and looked back from time to time.
"Lei Tie, what tree are you going to cut down?" Qin Mian himself was a cheerful person; he found a topic to talk when there was none.
Lei Tie said, "Why don't you call me Brother Tie?"
Qin Mian muttered,I was three years older than you in my last life. But of course he couldn't say that.
"BecauseAH."
Qin Mian didn't pay attention for a while that he stepped on a piece of grass with morning dew on it. His feet slipped and his whole person leaned backward.
Lei Tie quickly grabbed his hand, pulled him back into his bosom and put another arm around the other's waist.
Qin Mian's face hit him on the chest. After standing steadily, he looked back at the steep slope and the big tree several steps away, he was a little scared. He had a small body and he would have been seriously injured if he fell.
Lei Tie let go of him, took his hand naturally and went on.
Qin Mian couldn't pull out his hand, so he was force to follow Lei Tie. Feeling a heat on his hand, he kept repeating in his heart: I am a child, I am a child.
"By the way, you haven't answered what tree are you going to cut down? As far as I know, not all wood is suitable for ware making."
He automatically ignored the question that Lei Tie asked.

Lei Tie didn't bother about his intention. ". It is fairly pliable, straight vein lines, easy handling and corrosion resistance."
Qin Mian thought for a moment. "Make two; one for the sample and the other for our own use."
"Nn."
Qin Mian was about to speak when he was pulled.
"Be careful with your steps."
He looked down and saw that there were some hedgehog-like fruits scattered on the ground and several brown fruits were wrapped in the prickly shell. His eyes brightened. "This is…"
Lei Tie explained: "Prickly fruit; walking into the mountains, pay attention above your head."
Prickly fruit? This is obviously !Qin Mian was so excited that he almost blurted out.
"It's called prickly fruit?" He asked tentatively, "Can it be eaten?"
Lei Tie looked at his eyes with some complexity. After a moment's silence, he said: "Can't eat. There are ahead."
Qin Mian opened his mouth with some helplessness in his eyes. Lei Tie thought he was fond of good food. He conveniently snapped two twigs, squatted down and picked up the "prickly fruit" to look at it carefully for a long time, he was very sure that it was chestnut.
He took his hand out of Lei Tie's hand and quickly picked up the chestnuts into the basket. "Come and help. This is a good thing!"
"Can't eat." Lei Tie frowned with a little distressed surged up in his chest.
"Can be eaten, trust me!" Qin Mian looked up at him with firm eyes.
Li Tie pulled him, "Pick them up when we go back."
"Right." Qin Mian responded, dumped out the prickly fruits in the basket and piled them at the side.
His hand was back in Lei Tie's. Probably because this was the second time, he was not as uncomfortable.
Two pheasants passed through the dense grass in front of them. The pheasants noticed them and wanted to sneak away. Lei Tie loosened Qin Mian's hand and shot two arrows at the same time. The two pheasants died without even having a chance to flap their wings.
Qin Mian gave a thumbs-up Like to Lei Tie and ran over to pick up the pheasants.
They found a fir tree as thick as thigh. Lei Tie made Qin Mian to step back and cut it with a saw. While waiting, Qin Mian was bored and wandered around.
"Wife, don't go too far." Without turning back, Lei Tie knew what he was doing.
"I know."
Qin Mian luckily found a few hawthorn trees with bright red hawthorn fruits hanging on them. He picked the big ones and soon filled less than half of the basket.
Lei Tie found a time to glance at him and was puzzled by the excited expression of his shining eyes, but he didn't ask and diligently sawed the tree.
After the fir tree was cut down, he sawed off a half-person-high section from the top and carried it on the shoulder easily, "Let's go to pick apples."
Lei Tie familiarly took Qin Mian to the apple tree. The apple tree was very thick, but only one person tall. The apple on the branch was only slightly bigger than a tennis ball, but the pink color looked very enticing. Qin Mian picked one and wiped it on his clothes before he took a bite. He was pleasantly surprised. "This fruit is not big, but it tastes good. It's sour and sweet."
Lei Tie put down the fir wood and chose big ones to pick.
After picking more than 20 of them, Qin Mian stopped. If he picked too many, his back would not be able to bear it.
When they returned to the chestnut area, Qin Mian knocked off the chestnut shell, picked up a lot of chestnuts and straightly filled the basket with chestnuts. It was hard for his shoulders to bear it but he was reluctant to throw out some of them.
Lei Tie put the basket on his back without saying anything.
Qin Mian rubbed his nose, "Or else, pours some out?"
"No need. Go."
Qin Mian obediently kept up with Lei Tie, admiringly looking at his big and strong back. When could he grow up like this?
When they got home, Xiao Hu was sitting obediently under the shade of the tree with a long stick next to him, which was unknown where he got it.
"Uncle Lie. Brother Qin."
"Cough" Qin Mian choked by his own saliva. Why did it sound like "dear (Qinq) brother"?
Lei Tie gruffly said, "Call him Uncle Qin."
"Oh." Xiao Hu nodded in assent.
Qin Mian took two apples and handed them to him, "We won't go to town until later. You go to the grain-sunning ground to play first. We will call you when we leave and then you can help us look after the rice grain."
"Alright." Xiao Hu smiled with crescent eyes. He took the two apples and ran away.
Lei Tie took out all kinds of tools as he sat at the entrance and made the noodle maker according to the drawing.
Qin Mian took out all the things in the basket and put them under the shade. He cleaned the two pheasants and prepared some dough for use. Then he washed two apples and sat next to Lei Tie to watch and guide.
Upon seeing Lei Tie skillfully peeled the fir wood unlike a novice, he got more confidence in the noodle maker. The holes in the bottom plate were the most difficult to do and needed to be chiseled one by one. Lei Tie was very patient; neither in a hurry or impatient.
"Chisel a notch here on the body, connect it with the base plate, it can be removed with a twist on the left and right.. Right Polish here… The slide bar here should be straight to ensure that the handle can apply vertical force….."
In less than an hour, the first noodle maker was finally produced.
Qin Mian stroked the smooth body and sung praises, "This is the first noodle maker in the world. We keep it for our own use."
Lei Tie nodded and was very satisfied with his craftsmanship.
"Let's try it." Qin Mian ran into the kitchen excitedly. First, he cleaned the noodle maker inside and outside with water. Then he propped up the noodle maker with a triangle trestle, put it in a basin, and then put the dough into the body.
Lei Tie held the handle and pressed it down hard. The long and thin noodles suddenly extruded from the hole below and fell into the basin.
Qin Mian laughed and said: "It's a success."
Lei Tie's eyes also flashed a smile and he continued to press.
Qin Mian took a pair of scissors to cut the noodles and smilingly said: "Let's have noodles for lunch."
Lei Tie naturally had no objection and then made a second noodle maker.
After lunch, the two went to the grain-sunning ground to call Xiao Hu over and took the noodle maker and dough to town.

Because of his good mood, Qin Mian didn't feel that it was a long way to town. On the way, they came across a donkey cart going to town, so they hitchhiked.
Arrived in the town, Qin Mian took Lei Tie to a teahouse and asked for two cups of herb tea.
Lei Tie saw that he seemed to have a plan and became almost as silent as a post. He just followed and wondered what the little wife would do.
"Waiter, check out." Qin Mian only took a sip.
The waiter wiped his hands and came over. "Thank you for your patronage. It's 2 wen in all."
Qin Mian paid the money for the tea and handed over three more coins. "Waiter, I want to know something."
Lei Tie then understood why the wife went to the teahouse when they had brought their own water. His dark and deep eyes fluctuated slightly and then returned to calm.
The waiter took the money and was happy," You ask away. I'm not bragging but there's really nothing in this town that I don't know about."
Qin Mian carried off with a laugh, "We want to customize some furniture, do you know which shop has the best woodcraft work in this town?"
"Hey, you are asking the right person. Yao's Woodcraft Shop is the best one to do carpentry work. In the town, the rich people with some money basically make furniture in their shop."
Qin Mian showed a look of embarrassment, "The Yao's ah, I didn't have a pleasant time with the shop assistant in their shop few days ago. Aside from the Yao's?"
Without thinking, the waiter replied, "The Rich and Honor Woodcraft Shop. Their shop is no worse than Yao's only because they rise later than the Yao's and has a little bad reputation. The competition between the two is fierce!"
Qin Mian had been waiting for this sentence and he nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you very much."
After asking the address of the Rich and Honor Woodcraft Shop, he left with Lei Tie to find it.
The building of the Rich and Honor Woodcraft Shop was not small. There were exquisite wardrobes, carved beds, round tables, mahogany chairs and other things at the door, which made the shop easy to find.
As soon as they entered the shop, a young shop assistant straightened hison the head as he greeted them with a smile on his face.
"What do the two honored customers want to buy?"
Qin Mian said: "Where is your shopkeeper? I have something to sell to your shopkeeper."
As soon as the shop assistant heard this, he looked at him up and down again. The enthusiasm on his face immediately faded away. The right corner of his mouth rose disdainfully as he waved them away, "Go go go. This poor looks yet still want to sell things in the woodcraft shop. Hurry and go!"
Lei Tie frowned.
Qin Mian however didn't take offence. He shook his head and said with a light smile, "I finally understand why your Rich and Honor Woodcraft Shop's is not as good as that of Yao's Woodcraft Shop."
"What did you say?" The shop assistant stared at him with a particularly bad expression. "Boy, are you tired of living? Go go go!"
"Wait!" The blue curtain behind the counter was opened by one hand and a somewhat stout middle-aged man came out.
"Manager Liao." The shop assistant's expression became respectful.
Liao Zhifu ignored him and raised his eyelids to size up Qin Mian. He had an air of arrogance and a foxy smile, "I'd like to ask this brother what you said just now." The employer left the woodcraft shop to him to manage and he thought he was doing his best but today, being criticized by an ignorant youth caused him to be angry.
"Is it?" Qin Mian was fearless and pointed to the direction of the assistant. "I'm not a customer of your shop today, which doesn't mean I'm not a customer of your shop tomorrow. It's no wonder that the first thing people think about when they mention the woodcraft shop is the Yao's. Be done with it, I don't want to talk to you much if my words are regarded as ill-mannered. Farewell."
This brother's extraordinary speech and calm momentum made Liao Zhifu care a little, his heart jolted, "Wait!"
Qin Mian stopped and faintly smiled before he turned around.
"You just said you wanted to sell something?" Liao Zhifu's eyes drifted to Lei Tie's basket on his back. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he regarded it as killing time.
Qin Mian nodded, "That's right. It's a blueprint of a manual noodle maker. "
"Manual noodle maker?" Liao Zhifu was at a loss.
Qin Mian explained: "It's a tool for making noodles."
He smiled without saying a word and motioned to Lei Tie to take out the noodle maker, dough and wooden basin. He demonstrated it directly.
Seeing the long and thin noodles appeared from the bottom of the noodle maker, Liao Zhifu's eyes were wide open in surprise. He was excited yet remained calm and collected as he said: "It's barely considered as a good thing. What is the price of the blueprint?"
The assistant stared straight at the noodle maker with a strange written all over his face.
Qin Mian said: "Only sell to one shop. 50 tael. Fixed price."
"Oh." Liao Zhifu uttered a sound with an unclear smile, shook his head and said contemptuously, "I don't think this brother really understands what the concept of 50 silver tael is. You know, a silver tael is enough for an average of four mouths to feed for a year. 50 silver tael is too high."
"Manager Liao's words are incorrect." Qin Mian said calmly, "How many noodle shops are there in the town, Manager Liao? Don't they need a lot of noodles every day? How many rich people are there in the town? They don't mind spending a little money on a noodle maker, do they? With the blueprint, you can produce a batch of manual noodle maker. Even if you sell one for a silver teal, you can earn at least 200 tael in the town. What about in the whole county? What about in the whole state? 50 tael is absolutely not high."
Liao Zhifu was somewhat interested, but the so-called businessmen were all evil, he wanted to keep the price down as long as there was no fraud or business. "This brother has a point. But this doesn't seem to be so complicated [to make, so I'm afraid it's easy to imitate."
"Manager Liao is wrong yet again." Qin Mian still had something to say. "Tables, chairs, cabinets and cupboards are more easily imitated, but why do some woodcraft shops become famous, while others are unknown? What's more, if you have the blueprint, you can seize the market first. Even if someone imitates it, they will lose the decisive occasion."
Liao Zhifu stroked his beard and remained silent.
Qin Mian waited for a while deliberately, but Liao Zhifu still kept silent. He stood up without any anxiety on his face and smiled lightly. "It's already late; we still have to go to Yao's Woodcraft Shop."
"Wait!" Liao Zhifu panicked. "I buy it!" Yao's Woodcraft Shop was more famous than them. If he could get the blueprint of the manual noodle maker, wouldn't his shop be better?
Qin Mian quietly gave a proud smile toward Lei Tie.
Lei Tie stroked his head.
Liao Zhifu added: "But we have to write a guarantee document. You have to make sure that you don't sell the blueprint of the noodle maker and the noodle maker to a second individual, or you will have to compensate 1000 tael of silver."
"It ought to be." Qin Mian nodded, "But we are not the two wise people in the world. Since we can make a noodle maker, it doesn't mean other people can't do it. If there is a second noodle maker, Manager Liao can't blame us. Manager Liao can produce a large batch first and sell them all over the country at the same time."
Liao Zhifu frowned and also understood that this was the truth. After thinking about it, he nodded, "Alright."
He wrote down two documents on the spot and then he and Lei Tie pressed their thumbprints.
Qin Mian accepted 5weighted 10 liang, took out the blueprint and explained them to Liao Zhifu in detail before he dissembled the noodle maker apart to show it.
Liao Zhifu patted his thigh and put on a long face, "So simple? Lost money, lost money!"
Qin Mian smiled and shook his head. "Manager Liao, these"
"This brother doesn't need to say 'these words are wrong' again." Liao Zhifu was really annoyed.
Qin Mian didn't take offence. "If it's as simple as you said, why hasn't anyone done it before?"
Note:
Each silver ingot is worth 10 tael. I used both tael and liang (tael) to differentiate between money and weight (even though it is the same) as not to confuse some people who hasnt familiarized with ancient currency which based on weight. I mean, if I translated 1 jin and 5 liang of meat as 1 jin and 5 tael of meat, wont some be confused? [dont know if it matters to you, but let me explain anyway]

Liao Zhifu was rendered speechless and only said after a long time: "Hah-hah, young people are good talkers; I'm not able to outdebate you." He still kept his words and didn't tear up the agreement.
Qin Mian made a lot of money that he was in a good mood and didn't care about being treated coldly. "We still have something to do, so we are going. Manager Liao, you continue on [working]."
Liao Zhifu was not in the mood to say more and waved his hands perfunctorily. He took the blueprint and asked the assistant to hold the noodle maker before he walked quickly into the workshop at the back of the shop.
Qin Mian walked out of the door and looked back. He pulled Lei Tie and walked away quickly. After walking far, he looked behind him and his eyes turned left and right as he secretly looked at the passers-by. He pulled back his gaze only when he didn't find anything suspicious.
"What?" Lei Tie also turned around and didn't find anything unusual.
Qin Mian whispered: "Nothing. I was just wondering that I made so much money from that man and he would not be willing, so he would send someone to follow us secretly to rob the money back when there was no one around." He hugged the heavy pouch in his hand and couldn't help but look back. However, an able-bodied man who had been on the same road with them was puzzled and looked at him suspiciously.
"Hah….."
There was a chuckle nearby. Qin Mian was stunned as he thought he had heard it wrong. He stood in the middle of the street, staring at Lei Tie with a face of beyond comprehension. Lei Tie actually laughed, but also laughed out loud?
Lei Tie seemed to be surprised by the fact that he had laughed, his upturned lips immediately returned to their usual position. He took away the money pouch before he put it in his bosom and pulled Qin Mian to move forward. Without looking at him, he lightly said: "Don't be scared."
When Qin Mian returned to his senses, he felt quite regretful. Couldn't he (LT) laugh for two seconds at most? Although the man was handsome, he didn't have any expression and also tongue-tied. Just now, with a laugh, he looked quite eye-catching. Still, he (QM) also didn't look bad in the previous life!
However, Lei Tie's word "don't be scared" really appeased him. He relaxed and didn't notice that Lei Tie was still holding his wrist.
"What to buy?" Lei Tie asked.
When it came to how to spend money, Qin Mian was excited and looked at Lei Tie with bright eyes. "I want to build the house first. Will it be done in time for the New Year?" At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had not visited their home base. Lei Tie didn't even mention it
Lei Tie nodded, "After the busy season." His wife was so capable, did he want to do something about it?
Although the paddy had been harvested, the next step was to cultivate the field and prepare to plant winter wheat. Only after the wheat was planted did the busy season concluded as over. However, Qin Mian still could wait ten days to half a month.
"Roughly, how much is it cost?"
"For three rooms, 12 tael will suffice." Lei Tie answered without thinking about it.
12 tael wasn't much for all their property. Qin Mian heaved a sigh of relief and smilingly said: "Can't buy the cart for the time being, but can buy a calf to use when ploughing. How much is it?"
Lei Tie shook his head, "Should have enough."
Qin Mian was not surprised. Lei Tie had just come back, afraid that he didn't know the current market.
The duo inquired about it or some time and went directly to the place where livestock were sold. Because those animals "produced" excrement everywhere and the smell was bad, a special place had been designated in the town. In fact, it's an open space on the edge of the town. People who bought and sold cattle, sheep, pigs, donkeys and mules all came here. Over time, this place had become a small livestock trading market.
When the duo got to the vicinity, a burst of odor assailed their nostrils. They glanced around carelessly; the ground was full of manure. The sounds of pigs, cows and sheep were mixed together, very lively.
Those sellers were used to this kind of environment. They sat by the wall and looked uninterested as they waited for buyers.
"Buy male or female ox?" Qin Mian asked.
Lei Tie answered: "You decide."
Hearing these words again, Qin Mian felt helpless while thinking that if he really decided everything at home, he didn't know whether Lei Tie really didn't care.
"Then buy a male ox." He said while looking left and right.
A little donkey kicked the ground anxiously and suddenly took two steps back. Qin Mian hurriedly flashed to the side.
Its master was an old man in his fifties, smiled at him sheepishly and pulled the rope in his hand, dragging the donkey aside.
Qin Mian smiled back to express that he didn't mind. He saw several people selling cattle in front of him. After he shopped around and compared prices, he finally saw a two-year-old young ox. It's a water ox. Its horn was thick and flat, and its two big eyes were as clear as glass. It should have been washed by the owner specially; its hair was jet-black and clean, which made people like it. Qin Mian saw such a beautiful water ox for the first time.
After asking the broker in charge of livestock sales in the market to see it and determined the ox had no health and convenience problems, Qin Mian spent 6 tael of silver to buy it and gave the broker another 100 wen.
Lei Tie really let him decide as he said. He had no objection during that time and merely looked at him lightly with those dark and deep eyes. Occasionally with those eyes of his, Qin Mian's heart beat unstably.
But his attention soon shifted, because he had a lot to buy. Making Lei Tie led the young ox, he went to buy some vegetable seeds, 2 Jin of sugar and 2 Jin of streaky pork. Of course, he didn't forget to buy the promised snacks. Finally, he went to the cloth shop and picked up their new clothes, and then led the young ox home.

Qin Mian was in a particularly good mood because he had made money. Although Lei Tie was still expressionless, his relaxed pace showed that he was also in a good mood. He carried all the things they bought on his back while Qin Mian led a water ox and stroked its back and neck from time to time as he walked. The ox was docile in character, it didn't mind his harassment. It moved forward slowly and flicked its tail from time to time, very leisurely.
Lei Tie looked on in puzzlement.
Qin Mian smiled at him, continued to touch and his words irrefutable, "I'm cultivating feelings with it. When I get familiar with it, I can ride it like a horse to town." Just now, he didn't see horses in the market. After all, they were backward in ancient times. Horses were probably controlled by the imperial court as military supplies.
Lei Tie shook his head and threw a glance at the ox thoughtfully. Without saying anything, his eyes fell on the smiling side of his wife's face.
It always seemed that it took less time to return. It didn't take long for them to get to the foot of the mountain and see the village below.
When the sweat-soaked farmers saw Qin Mian coming back with an ox while he talked with Lei Tie, they were very surprised. They talked in low voices as their eyes mostly fell on the buffalo with both admiration and jealousy.
"Hey, are that Lei Tie and his wife?" Sister Zhang straightened up and wiped her sweat. She had inadvertently glanced at the way out of the village and saw the two. Surprised, she patted her man.
The sickle in Zhang Dashuan's hand was askew and he almost cut his own hand. He stared helplessly at his wife before he looked at the road and was stunned, "Yes."
Sister Zhang said in a low voice: "Such a big ox is not cheap. It seems that Lei Tie really hid the money before parting ways with his family."
Zhang Dashuan was upset, frowned and scolded: "You mind so much about other people's family!"
Sister Zhang knew what he was worried about and didn't take offence. She looked at him with a smile and said in a warm voice, "Alright, don't I know what you are worried about? Let's just talk about it in private. Don't worry, I won't gossip."
Zhang Dashuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his wife with gentler eyes. He lowered his head and continued to cut the grain. How could he not know his wife was not a loose mouthed person? He was merely reminded her a little more so as to avoid quarrel.
"I'm afraid that the news will soon reach the old Lei's house and the young couple won't be in peace again." Sister Zhang shook her head and sympathized with Qin Mian and Lei Tie.
Over there, Qin Mian and Lei Tie walked into the village, and very soon someone came up from the field to greet to them.
"Lei Tie, have you added a big ox to your family? This ox is bought well, it looks strong." Aunt Xiulan seemed to be in admiration as she sized up the buffalo and praised. Her clear voice carried a hint of swiftness.
Lei Tie nodded, "Aunt."
Interpersonal communication had to be relied on Qin Mian. He immediately showed an intimate but not too enthusiastic smile to the woman. "Brother Tie and I are not familiar with ox and we are unable to perceive the good or the bad. Before that, we were worried about whether we would buy a bad one. It's relieving to hear that from Aunt."
He seamlessly flattered Aunt Xiulan. When Aunt Xiulan heard that, she felt more comfortable with the only male wife in the village which gave her a good impression. She smilingly said: "Don't worry, this ox is fine. My parents have two oxen, I'm familiar with them. Whether this ox is healthy, firstly, it depends on its spirit whether it looks spirited enough? Second, it depends on the hair whether it is neat and glossy. Third, it depends on the pace where a stable and steady gait is definitely a healthy one. The easiest way is to look at its appetite. It's no problem if it can eat."
Qin Mian nodded and admiringly said: "Aunt knows so much. Before, we saw it eating fresh straw, so we decided to buy it." At this time, he vaguely understood why the aunt, who he had not known before, came to show up suddenly. She mentioned that there were oxen in her parent's family, which was to say that her family did not have them. If she had a good relationship with them, it would be easy to talk if she wanted to borrow it.
He patted the back of the ox and said, "Thank you for telling us so much. If you want to use it later, just say it."
Aunt Xiulan was really happy now. She secretly praised this brother's intelligence. She laughed and was all the more satisfied the more she looked at Qin Mian. "Then, Aunt thanks you first. You're still tired after you've gone so far. Aunt won't delay you guys."
"Aunt, you continue on [working]."
They continued to go into the village and a few villagers warmly greeted them. Qin Mian responded with the same courtesy. Although he knew that they did that only for the ox, he didn't dislike them. As long as the villagers was no longer pointed out to him and Lei Tie, which spoiled people's mood for no reason, it's no big deal to lend them the ox.
When they got home, Xiao Hu sat lazily on the back of his chair and waved his bamboo pole from time to time. What's unexpected was that there was a boy of the same age next to him, whose clothes were still stained with straw scraps. He squatted on the ground and played with worms. He kept shouting something as he played enthusiastically. He seemed lively.
"Xiao Hu."
Xiao Hu immediately jumped down and smiled at Qin Mian. His eyes unconsciously looked at Lei Tie's basket, "Uncle Lei, Uncle Qin."
The other little boy also stood up and watched Qin Mian and Lei Tie with a bit of blush, eyes moved about and then he also called out, "Uncle Lei, Uncle Qin." His voice was quite loud.
How could Qin Mian not perceive the little demons' mind? He secretly thought it was funny, but he didn't tease them. He took out two packages of snacks from the basket. At that time in the snack shop, he had only bought one package for Xiao Hu but then Lei Tie took another package for him, so he bought two packages.
He handed one of the packages to Xiao Hu, opened the other package where there were eight colored pastries in it and took out four for the other little boy.
"You guys have worked hard."
"Thank you, Uncle Qin." Xiao Hu happily held the snacks in both hands.
The little boy understood why he got less, he smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Qin." Unable to hold himself back, he picked up a piece and took a big bite, chewing quickly.
Qin Mian saw it and sighed with emotion. He had tasted it before and compared with modern ones, it was far worse in appearance, color and taste.There is a business opportunity.
"Go play."
The two little demons ran with delight. This time, there was something to show off to their companions.
"Uncle Qin, if there is anything, I can help you again." Xiao Hu waved as he ran away.
"This is becoming aware of the benefits of something." Qin Mian laughed in spite of himself.
"Nn." Lei Tie waited for him to open the door.
Qin Mian's left hand hugged his chest and reached out his right hand to Lei Tie as he looked on with a happy smile and without speaking.
Lei Tie was taken aback before he took out the money pouch and handed it to him.
Qin Mian looked at him approvingly with the eyes that said "the young man was promising and worthy to be taught" before he took the money pouch and fished out the key to open the door.
Lei Tie shook his head, afraid that he didn't find his own eyes laden with pamper.

Lei Tie put down the basket, took the tether from Qin Mian's hand, and tied it to a tree. Then, he brought a bundle of fresh paddy straw.
The water ox chewed the straws with its head down as it wagged its tail; it seemed very happy.
Qin Mian didn't leave. He bent down and fed it a handful of straw. He turned to Lei Tie and said: "You should be close to it too, lest it won't listen to you when you are plowing the field."
Lei Tie was stumped for words. He really picked up a handful of straw and fed it to the ox. He raised his big palm and stroked the ox's head stiffly.
Qin Mian was stunned, then he couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha…" He was just teasing Lei Tie, but the man took it seriously. An ox's nature was usually docile and would not cause trouble unless it was deliberately provoked.
Lei Tie vaguely understood that he was teased. He was still calm as before and only took a profound glance at Qin Mian. Instead of leaving, he took a handful of straw and continued to feed the ox.
Qin Mian took a look at him with a smile and vaguely felt that it's awkward for them to feed the young ox together, but somehow, he didn't find an excuse to go away but watched the ox eat the straw in Lei Tie's hand and also eat in his own hand.
Running in a hurry, Lei Chuntao saw from a distance that their shoulders seemed to be next to each other but also not, and the view of their backs looked very harmonious. She stopped and a look of deeply moved floated on that pretty face. This scene appeared to give people comfort that no one would want to disturb it. In fact, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law to live together.
She hesitated for a moment before continued to run over and deliberately raised her volume, "Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law!" The small bell on her purple thin silk skirt rung along and it sounded very pleasant.
Qin Mian immediately threw away the straw. Lei Tie's body was stiff for a moment, his hands uneasily loosened before he turned around and shoot a glance at Lei Chuntao.
"Little sister, why are you here?" Qin Mian patted off the debris on his hand and asked politely. These days, he had already found that girls who had yet married were awfully refrained from going out and walked too close to men. It could be seen that this was indeed a time when feudal proprieties were relatively strict. Although Lei Chuntao was his nominal sister-in-law, he still should pay attention to the impact.
Lei Chuntao thought that she had disturbed the two people and felt embarrassed. "Nothing, I just want to tell you that someone may come. to trouble you….." The more she talked, the redder her face was. It's embarrassing to think of the harsh words that her mother, her second brother, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law had said. But they were her mother and her second brother. She was the younger generation, how could she talk about people behind their back? However, if she did not warn the eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law, she would be uneasy. She had no choice but to rush over.
After she finished saying, she lowered her head and ran away again.
Qin Mian and Lei Tie knew what she meant by "someone".
Lei Tie subconsciously looked at Qin Mian and discovered that the other person was at ease. Qin Mian either didn't care about it or he had some countermeasures, in that case, he also would not take it seriously. Looking back at the ox, he felt a slight regret.
Qin Mian remembered an important thing, "Where is the home base you bought?"
Lei Tie breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Qin Mian was completely unconcerned about it.
"Lock the door."
Qin Mian locked the door and looked at the ox. He was afraid that someone would steal it but then he thought of how simple the people in the countryside were and that the farmland was not far away from many people in the field. So he put his worry down and followed Lei Tie into the village.
It didn't take long to get to the west end of the village.
The house planning of Green Mountain Village could passably be computed as standard, basically in a row. Lei Tie bought a three-rooms-space land in the west of the village. There were still marks on the ground that Li Zheng measured last time. There were neighbors in the east, open space in the west, and a grove not far away.
Qin Mian turned around and thought that the position was really good. The old Lei's house was in the east of the village. To live in the west of the village, they could avoid them and be lacking a few small-minded people. Secondly, there was a vacant lot on the west side and an empty lot on the north side. It would be easy to expand in the future. He felt that Lei Tie was a man of ideas.
"It's a nice place." Qin Mian said to Lei Tie with a satisfied look.
Lei Tie nodded, "I'll buy the materials after plowing the field."
Qin Mian said: "Brother Zhang should know more about it, you can ask him about the market price of bricks, tiles, and so on. Don't get cheated."
"En."
A married woman's head stuck out behind a wall. After discovering that Qin Mian noticed her, she squeezed out a smile before her head quickly withdrawn.
Qin Mian assumed that she was their neighbor. There was no need to make a contact with the neighbors at the moment and it would be put off until the house was up.
The duo strolled back home.
Lei Tie took a saw and a bow set with a basket carried on his back, "Wife, I'm going to the mountain." He left without saying anything more.
Qin Mian didn't ask but casually said "be careful" as he fetched a coarse toothed wooden rake to turn over the paddy grain for drying. Therefore, Qin Mian didn't notice that Lei Tie's body shook when he heard these two words. He took a look back at Qin Mian before he left. The expression in his eyes was deeper than before.
Qin Mian went to the vegetable garden to pick the vegetables he wanted to eat in the evening. When he got home, he didn't see "someone" coming to find fault, which was quite unexpected.
Without Du Shi, Zhao Shi, and the others came to be an irksome presence, he readily took the opportunity to be at ease. He turned around and saw hawthorn and apple on the ground.
He cut down bamboo and made dozens of long and thin bamboo sticks. He then grabbed a handful of hawthorn, cleaned them, cut in two, and dug out the core before closing the two halves. After that, he fetched a few apples from the space, washed them, and cut them into dices.
He wanted to make tanghulu. So many hawthorn and wild apples couldn't be wasted, right?
After washing clean the bamboo sticks, he skewed the hawthorn and apple; two hawthorns and a dice of apple for each skewer. After he did a series of ten skewers, he lighted a fire and heated water.
After the water was boiled, he added a proper amount of white sugar, boiled it slowly over medium heat, and constantly stirred it with a spatula. When sugar liquid started to foam, he put the tanghulus in it and rolled them quickly. Then, he put them onto an oiled plate.
After cooling for about ten minutes, the tanghulus were ready, with bright color and attractive aroma.
Hearing the "bang" from outside, he picked up the plate and walked out quickly. Sure enough, it was Lei Tie who came back and was looking at the wooden block and the cut-off bamboo. At his feet laid two logs.
Qin Mian grabbed a tanghulu and took a bite. He nodded and handed out the plate to Lei Tie.
"Taste it."
Lei Tie frowned. He hadn't seen it before, but it didn't look like an adult man's type of food. His wife carried the plate and did not withdraw his hand. He picked up one and bit it reluctantly.
"It's not poisonous." Qin Mian joked, "Don't worry, you won't be forced to finish all this. I didn't see anyone selling this in the town before. I think this is a new thing. It tastes good, sour, and sweet. How about making it to sell?"
"En." Lei Tie was frowning all the time. It really looked like he was taking poison. He only unfolded his frown when he bit the apple.
Qin Mian saw clearly that Lie Tie swallowed the hawthorns directly but he would chew the apple before it entered the stomach.
"What are these logs for?" Actually, Qin Mian didn't like sweets either and he was just trying something new today.
"Useful." Lei Tie replied vaguely. "There's another trip."
Qin Mian saw that it was getting late, "Don't be too late."
"En." Lei Tie quickly finished the tanghulu, took out a pheasant in the basket, and left in a hurry.
After Qin Mian cleaned the pheasant, he made more tanghulus, but he didn't use the apple in the space anymore. It was too troublesome to remove the core and so he omitted the process. Lastly, he counted them and there were more than sixty altogether.
Lei Tie had already come back and was sawing the log into planks.
Qin Mian made a firm stand out of bound paddy straws and stuck the tanghulus on it one by one.
Lei Tie looked at over for a few times, as if thinking of something.
After that, Qin Mian began to cook dinner. A big wok of stewed fowl with chestnut, the strong aroma was captivating. When it was done, he ladled up a large bowl and handed it over to Lei Tie.
"Send it over there."
Lei Tie was dumbfounded.
Qin Mian knew what he was uncertain about and said with a smile: "We still have to live in the village, so we can't really become enemies with them over there. It's fine to tolerate them on the surface, lest we become the cause of people's gossip."
With that, he winked at Lei Tie. "At this moment, the busy people in the field are going home one after another. You pick the place where there are many people to walk."
Lei Tie's eyes flashed a ghost of a smile and he touched Qin Mian's head.
Qin Mian rubbed his nose and turned into the kitchen. "Cough, I have other dishes to make."
The 100 Wen which needed to be given to the old house over there for this month was already prepared at an earlier time. But Du Shi was a capricious mule-headed person. Even if this dish diffused the trouble at this time, there would be another. The 100 Wen should be kept for the next time to block her mouth.
Sure enough, until the next morning, no one from the old house over there came looking for trouble.
Qin Mian got up at dawn, but Lei Tie was no longer in bed. When he saw that the ox was gone, he was shocked. He ran back into the house and upon seeing that the plowing tools were not there, he was relieved.
As he was about to enter the room, he caught a glimpse of several planks that had been nailed together in the shape of a handcart model placed against the wall. He was surprised and pleased.
After breakfast, Lei Tie didn't come back. Qi Mian took the meal and delivered it to him.
As expected, Lei Tie was in the middle of urging the ox to plow the field. The ox was really docile, pulling the plow forward without any trouble. Half of amuarea had been plowed.
"Brother Tie, have a meal."
Lei Tie tied the ox's rope to a wood post before he came over.
"I see some planks outside the room. Are you going to make a cart?" Qin Mian asked.
"Buy you a new one when I have money." Lei Tie took a quick look at him as he said in a muffled voice and took over the bowl.
Qin Mian couldn't help but laugh out. He didn't know what he was feeling at that time. He changed the topic, "I'm going to sell the tanghulu in town later."

"Wait, I'll send you off." Lei Tie ate with absorbed concentration.
"No, I can"
"Send you." Lei Tie didn't back down.
Qin Mian was thinking that it was quite far from the village to the town and it was a busy season, there would be no one on the road. In case of wild animals or someone robbing in the middle of the road, it would be really unsafe. "Might as well. By the way, where are our vegetable fields? It's going to be cold. If we don't grow vegetables, we won't have vegetables to eat in winter."
Lei Tie thought about it before saying, "The field was divided into half amu."
Qin Mian said: "We have too few fields. There's no harm to grow vegetables in the half a mu field. If we have enough money, we can buy more fields."
"Nn." The little wife was indeed a person with ideas, Lei Tie had no objection. After thinking about it, he spoke, "No one eats sweets too early [in the morning]."
Qin Mian suddenly realized that who would buy sweets in the morning? It's really something he had ignored.
When Lei Tie finished eating, Qin Mian took the bowl and went home. When he passed the grain-sunning ground, Xiao Hu and the little boy from yesterday impatiently looked at him. He suddenly lost his smile and beckoned them.
Two little demons came running over excitedly.
"Uncle Qin."
"I only need two people here." Qin Mian was afraid that Xiao Hu would call all the children in the village.
The two little demons, who dared to do mischief, understood his meaning and tapped their small chests to pledge, "Uncle Qin can rest assured. If there are more people coming, our share will be less."
Qin Mian then knew that the other little demon called Gou Dan was Xiao Hu's older male patrilineal cousin. They enjoyed playing together.
"I'll call you guys over when I have to leave."
When Lei Tie was done with ploughing and came home, it was about ten o'clock. Qin Mian locked the door, wrapped the tanghulu's stand with a clean cloth and let Lei Tie carry it first to keep it away from Xiao Hu and Gou Dan. It's not that he was stingy and didn't want to give them the tanghulu, but he still counted on to earn small money from the tanghulu. The children couldn't hide it and if the information was leaked, it was far from good.
Assuming that Lei Tie had left the village, Qin Mian went to the grain-sunning ground to call Xiao Hu and Gou Dan over and tell them to turn over the paddy grain to dry it for a while before he left in a hurry.
Both sides of the road out of the village were planted with poplar and locust trees. It was still yet the time for trees to lose leaves, so the cascading leaves blocked one's view. Qin Mian ran a few steps before he saw Lei Tie looking back from a hundred meters away.
"Where is eldest sister-in-law in a hurry to go?" Carrying a water jar, Zhao Shi walked over quickly and followed his gaze, "Isn't that eldest brother? Are you guys going to town again? You just got a big ox yesterday. What do you want buy in town today? Your lives are getting prosperous ah."
Qin Mian ignored her and quickened his pace.
Zhao Shi's voice was so kind that it made one's back chilled, "Eldest sister-in-law, I'm not telling you off. But if there's any way to get money, take more care of the parents. Otherwise"
Qin Mian interrupted her, "Second younger brother's wife, I have something else to do. I'll go first."
"Hey!" Upon seeing that he was evading her so fast, Zhao Shi became more and surer of her guess. She gnashed her teeth, stamped her foot and swung her willow hips to turn back to walk home.
Qin Mian caught up with Lei Tie and wiped his sweat.
Lei Tie threw an eye at the back and said lightly: "Don't mind it."
Qin Mian waved his hand. For those people in the old house, he had nothing to say and simply gave a cold treatment.
When they got to the town, they went straight to the most prosperous street. On both sides of the street were stalls selling all kinds of things, pancakes, cloth, umbrellas, rouge and gauche, vegetables The shouting of the hawkers sounded from time to time with some of the tones were lethargic and drowsy, while some were high-pitched and sonorous like singing, making people laughed. The ordinary people who strolled around the streets, the merchants who traveled in a hurry, and even the ruffians who did nothing at all, picked and chose in front of the small stalls, which was interesting.
Qin Mian found a place to set stand, but his enthusiasm suddenly faded in half who was going to hawk?
He looked at Lei Tie with ardent gaze.
Lei Tie took a quick look at him and put the tanghulu's stand on the ground without squinting or squeaking.
Qin Mian walked closer to him, patted him on the shoulder and looked at him smilingly. "Brother Tie, you'll shout 'delicious tanghulu, 2 Wen for a skewer'."
Lei Tie still did not utter a sound or a word.
Soft approach did not succeed, Qin Mian used force, "If you don't shout, you can't eat at noon."
Lei Tie's mouth opened wide and suddenly shoved the stand into Qin Mian's hand. "I'll ask butcher Zhang if he needs preys."
After saying that, without waiting for Qin Mian to respond, he walked away quickly.
"Hey, you" Qin Mian was speechless. Seeing that Lei Tie really didn't return, he became angry and his heart felt empty and cold. This town was completely strange to him and when he came here before, there was no special feeling. Today, there was an inexplicable sense of loneliness in his heart and a feeling of uneasiness surged from the bottom. It was as if he was the only one in such a big world.
People passing by all looked at the red tanghulu curiously. They wanted to come and have a look, but all he did was only smile. Did he really have to hawk? At this time, he regretted the idea of selling tanghulu. Why didn't he expect such a problem?
"Little brother, what are you selling?" An old lady with gray hair cheerfully asked.
Qin Mian said: "This is tanghulu. It's sour and sweet, suitable for children. Does Aunt want to give a skewer to your family member?"
"Tanghulu? Is it delicious?" The old lady asked with a strange look in her eyes.
Qin Mian saw that she was plainly dressed and there were several patches on her clothes; she was probably not a generous person. But anyone dropping in was a customer. He took a skewer with a smile on his face and handed it over to her. "How about tasting it first and buy it if you think it's delicious?"
A few other people around also showed some interest. Who wouldn't want free food?
Qin Mian simply took three more skewers and handed them to several envious children.
"Have a taste, the children definitely like it. 2 Wen for a skewer."
The old lady took a bite and frowned at the sourness, but she was very kind and still smiled, "This old lady can't eat it, but the little baby definitely like it."
After saying that, she fished out a few coppers from her bosom and took four to hand over to Qin Mian, "Give two skewers."
The business was finally opened. Qin Mian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took two skewers to exchange with the money.
"Mother, it's delicious. I want another one." A little girl about six years old, tugged at her mother's sleeve as her eyes stared at the bright red fruit on the stand, shining brightly.
"It's very sour, how can it be eaten." The woman glanced at Qin Mian secretly and pulled the little girl away with some embarrassment. That being said but the skewer of bitten tanghulu in her hand was not thrown away.
Qin Mian felt helpless. He felt that today was a blunder. Looking in the direction where Lei Tie left, he still couldn't see the man's figure, so he harbored even more bellyful of fire. This aroused his fighting spirit instead. Carrying the stand, he shouted, "Take a look, come visit, sweet and sour tanghulu, 2 Wen a skewer. Take a look, come visit…"
He walked half the street and also shouted for half the street but only sold six skewers.
Qin Mian realized the reason being that there were few people who dared to try because this thing was new. But he really couldn't believe that as an open-minded modern man, he couldn't help turning into a conservative ancient man.
Instead of hawking, he went back to the original place and handed two skewers to the woman in her fifties who sold cloth on the left and the young man who sold vegetables on the right.
"If you don't mind, try it."
People who did business were basically adept at dealing things for others' interest. The two people generously thanked him after receiving the skewers.
Qin Mian took a skewer to eat himself and shouted loudly, "2 Wen for a skewer of delicious tanghulu; 2 Wen for a skewer of delicious tanghulu…"
"Not to mention," The woman said with a smile, taking a small bite. "It's a little sour, but it's just perfect. It's delicious."
The young man also bit a hawthorn from the bamboo stick, "I don't like it very much, but my wife likes to eat sour and sweet snacks. Little brother, give me five skewers."
This method actually worked. The people who passed by saw all three of them eating and even chatting, they became interested. It's worth spending 2 wen to buy a skewer and try something new.
Soon Qin Mian sold more than ten skewers. A girl less than ten years old came from the opposite rice shop and bought five skewers.
Qin Mian generously gave her an extra.
The little girl looked at him with a smile and ran back happily. After a moment, a little girl about her age was dragged from the deli food shop next door and also bought five skewers.
Qin Mian also gave her an extra.
After more than an hour, the tanghulu was sold out.
Qin Mian felt a sense of achievement. Looking at the declining sun, he unhurriedly found a small restaurant with the stand carried on his shoulder. He ordered a scrambled egg with tomato, a fried meat with green pepper and a bowl of rice, and ate by himself. As for Lei Tie, who cares?
He only took two bites and a shadow fell in front of him. Qin Mian looked up and saw that Lei Tie had come out of nowhere and automatically sat beside him.
A waiter ran over immediately. "Are you two together? What else do you need?"
Qin Mian ate without saying anything.
Neither did Lei Tie speak.
The waiter looked at Qin Mian suspiciously and then at Lei Tie. Both of them kept silent, so the waiter had to walk away helplessly.
Qin Mian raised his eyelids and looked at Lei Tie defiantly.
Lei Tie's expression was indifferent as before.
The dishes in this shop were well fried. Qin Mian ignored him and ate with big bites.
"Wife, I'm hungry."
Qin Mian was shocked and immediately covered his mouth. "Shut up!"
Mouth covered by the other person, Lei Tie still didn't move. He blinked and because Qin Mian's hand blocked the area under his nose, his dark eyes turned more and more deep.
Qin Mian's heart was shaken by his blink. He turned to look at other customers in the shop. Seeing that no one heard Lei Tie's words, he took a sigh of relief and gave Lei Tie a fierce look.
Lei Tie backed away from his hand and said, "I'm hungry, wi"
"Waiter, another bowl of rice!" Qin Mian shot a dagger look at him.
The waiter almost dropped the dish he was carrying in his hands by Qin Mian's roar.
