Chapter 41 Greenhouse

After taking care of himself, Qin Mian slowly walked out the door. The sky was still bright, and the cicadas were no longer singing in the autumn. The village was rather quiet.

The sound of footsteps alarmed Lei Tia, who was training in the courtyard.

The young man wore a new green cotton sweater, tied at the waist with a camel-colored belt, and a camel-colored vest over which he wore a pair of green calfskin trousers, and a pair of deerskin boots. He was dressed simply and neatly, like some young man of his family; his long hair was not tied up in a bun on his head like the others, but tied up in a green band with a high ponytail, looking up at the sky as he stretched.

Lei Tia was also wearing a new set of clothes, the style was the same as Qin Mian's, except that his shirt and pants were indigo, his vest and belt were also camel colored. Because he was training, his vest was not on him, but hung on a bamboo pole to dry clothes.

In reality, this was only because Qin Mian was too lazy to draw more clothing designs, so the two of them created the same style, adding a modern element to the conservative style of the ancient times.

Although there was a scar on Lei Tia's face, but it seemed like it did not exist after a long time.

"Morning." Qin Mian sized Lei Tia up from head to toe with an appreciative gaze, and greeted him in a good mood.

Lei Tia looked at him for a moment, then retracted his gaze and resumed his training.

Just let it be! The smile on Qin Mian's face froze, he stared at him, then saw that there was a small stone on the ground. Seeing that Lei Tia did not notice him, he picked up the stone and threw it at the man's back. Seeing him practice so well, who knew if he was just putting on airs? Try him.

As if he did not feel it, Lei Tia continued to practice his palm techniques. Just as the stone was about to touch him, her right hand suddenly changed its move and stabbed into the back of his head, as though he had eyes at the back of her head. He accurately grabbed onto the stone with his forefinger and middle finger without turning her head, and continued to practice his moves.

Qin Mian raised his eyebrows, it really wasn't just a show. It was unknown if he was mistaken, but just now, Lei Tia seemed to have glanced over here. Although it was a very light glance, it seemed to be saying that he had underestimated him.

He rolled his eyes and snickered. The courtyard was not ready, there were still many stones scattered on the ground, he bent down to pick up a few, and threw them at Lei Tia.

Lei Tia was originally practicing the "Moon Slaughter Devil Nest" technique when he suddenly leaped into the air and flipped his body in mid-air. His right hand was like a fan about to fan the wind as he suddenly waved it in the air, collecting all five stones into his palm. At the same time, he landed quietly on the ground and stared at Qin Mian.

Too cool!

Qin Mian's eyes lit up, he rushed forward, "Now that I am old, can I learn from you?"

The corner of Lei Tia's mouth raised in an arc. It was probably because he was not used to smiling that he looked a little stiff, but the smile in his eyes was not fake. When Qin Mian noticed this, his mood immediately improved.

"You're young." Lei Tia said.

Qin Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Of course he didn't mean that. If he was considered old, then wouldn't Lei Tia be considered "old"? If it was anyone else, he would think that they were arguing with him, but it was actually a bit fu

y when it came out of Lei Tia's mouth.

"Of course I don't mean that. I heard that martial arts practice has to start from an early age before one can improve quickly."

"No matter, let's take things step by step. "I'll teach you self-defense first." Lei Tia casually threw the stone away.

A few pebbles landed in the corner, right next to each other. Qin Mian looked at him sideways, "Show what?"

Lei Tia patted his head and began teaching him.

Don't think that only women need self-defense skills. Men need the same, especially if they aren't fully grown up yet. Ancient traffickers were rampant, and there were many young people who were kidnapped by traffickers to sell their teeth.

It was simple, practical, and fast. In other words, in the shortest possible time, it would hit the opponent's vital points, attacking their eyes, temples, lower jaw, neck, abdomen, between the legs, knees, and so on.

Lei Tia stood behind Qin Mian, one arm wrapped around's waist and the other around his neck, "If they can control you from the back ??"

The warm breath landed on his ears, causing Qin Mian to shrink back.

Lei Tia looked at his earlobe which was starting to flush. He paused for a bit before continuing, "I can use my elbow to hit my opponent, or I can use my heel to kick my opponent's knee."

He looked at the head of the person in his embrace, paused, and then added, "If you are tall enough and unable to do anything about it, you can also use your head to hit the head of the person in your embrace."

Qin Mian's face darkened. What did the pause mean? He wasn't tall now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't grow up in the future.

He turned and glared at Lei Tia.

Lei Tia changed his posture as if nothing had happened, "Teach me another move ?? ??"

Just like this, one taught, one learned. Qin Mian had roughly mastered a few basic defensive techniques.

"I'll run a few laps before coming back to make breakfast." Qin Mian was excited about training in the martial arts, so he was very concerned about training everyday. In order to be adept at martial arts, one must first enhance their physical fitness. He waved his hands towards Lei Tia and ran out.

Lei Tia locked the door, and carried his bow and arrows up the mountain.

By the time Qin Mian returned, Lei Tia was back as well. There were three pepper trees in the courtyard.

"I failed." Qin Mian entered the door, panting with a face covered in hot sweat. He fa

ed the wind with his hands, "I'm covered in sweat. I forgot to prepare a set of ru

ing clothes and shoes. "

"Next time I'll buy it in town." Lei Tia held onto a shovel and asked, "Where do I plant it?"

Qin Mian poured a cup of water and drank it all in one go, his eyes swept across the courtyard once, and then he walked to a place not far from the courtyard door and lit it up with his foot, "This thing doesn't smell good, grow it here."

Lei Tia nodded and bent down to dig the hole.

Qin Mian stood at the side and watched for a while, then went to make breakfast.

At breakfast, the two of them agreed on a date for the greenhouse ?? two days later.

After breakfast, Lei Tia went hunting. Qin Mian sprinkled some Spirit Spring Water s on the three pepper trees, then went from door to door inviting the villagers to eat at the Flowing Water Seat, and get to know the villagers.

He did not go to the old residence first, but instead went from the west side of the village to the east side.

When she arrived at the old house, Madam Du was fetching water from the well. Seeing him enter, her eyelids twitched, and she impatiently asked: "What are you doing here?"

The other party didn't like him, so Qin Mian didn't go and use his hot face to cover his cold butt. He said directly: "Mother, the date of the warm room is definitely the day after tomorrow.

Madam Du's expression relaxed a little, "Thanks for your concern, we will be there soon."

Qin Mian continued: "We plan to make eight dishes, four meat and four four vegetables. At that time, I'm afraid we still have to go to the garden to pick some vegetables."

Four meat and four vegetables was a good noodle soup. Madam Du thought that if all her family members were to eat there, it would be better to not let him pick vegetables, "I understand."

Qin Mian did not want to tell her more, "Mother, you are busy. I still need to go to the next house."

Madam Du waved her hand.

When Lei Tia returned at night, he set down a menu with him. Eight dishes, four meat and four four elements are hot chicken, red braised fish, homemade meat, sweet and sour pork, ground three fresh, braised tofu, golden corn, and stir-fried lettuce. There was no soup, and the people in the manor preferred benefits. Very few liked soup and water.

The snacks and snacks used to entertain the guests were very common, such as stir-fried melon seeds, fried peanuts and ci

amon cake. I can't prepare anything too good, or else it would be too eye-catching.

There were a total of three people. One of them was Aunt Wang, while the other two women had also been to Aunt Wang's table before. One was Aunt Liu, from the village, while the other was Sixth Sister Ma, from the neighboring village.

On the day that they were invited, early in the morning, Qin Mian and Lei Tia rushed to the town to buy vegetables, wine, snacks and snacks. After returning home, Qin Mian cleaned the house, and went to the village to borrow a table and a stool.

Aunt Wang and the other two came early, as they busied themselves in the kitchen. There were more than seventy families in the village. Even if there were only two people from each family, there were still more than a hundred people. Furthermore, most of the villagers loved to take advantage of the situation. Those with children would definitely come along with them. One could imagine how many ingredients would be needed for so many people.

Fortunately, Madam Qian and Lei Chuntao came over early to help clean the ingredients.

was surprised that the Madam Qian would come, he secretly asked Lei Chuntao and found out that it was Lei Xiangyi who had scolded her and forced her to come.

Around noon, the villagers came one after another with gifts, all ordinary but practical. Some of them were eggs, some of them were vegetables, some of them were a cloth, and some of them were even a piece of cured meat or a jar of wine. No matter which village it was, no one would say anything.

Qin Mian happily accepted them and politely invited them to take a seat.

The dishes were served plate by plate. The early ones could be eaten first, but the late ones didn't have to be rushed. They visited the new room, praised the new furniture, and then ate the snacks while chatting and waiting.

Qin Mian had good foresight, he expected that most of the people in the world would be in chaos, so he made an agreement with Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee in advance, asking them to help entertain the guests, and with Lei Tia, there were no mistakes.

Even so, Qin Mian was exhausted. When he saw the last batch of guests out, he sat on the sofa and did not want to move. His stomach was growling with hunger.

The three chefs, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee also did not have time to eat. After a while, he sat down and carried out a table of dishes that had been reserved for them, finishing them off completely. Not even a single drop of wine remained.

When Sister Zhang and the other two left with Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee, Qin Mian had also prepared a set of dim sum for each of them, in addition to paying the generous wages of the three cooks.

After everyone left, Qin Mian hugged his stomach and laid on the sofa, his legs lazily touching Lei Tia's back. "Wash the dishes."

Lei Tia also sat on the sofa, he had drank too much, so he supported his head with one hand, patted on his legs and stood up, "Sleep for a bit."

Qin Mian heard the sound of water and dishes colliding in the courtyard from time to time, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised, as he fell asleep in a daze ??
