Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 584: Manure Follow-up

After being picked up by his father, Ze'er did not struggle, and kissed Lu Chuan on the face. The old man was instantly overjoyed, but he still kept a straight face and walked towards the main hall without making any noise.

Xu Han took the hand of her eldest son and asked, "Are the Taoist priest and great grandfather here?"

"We are here. The Taoist priest and Grandfather are drinking tea in the main hall and don't want us to disturb them."

"Well, how are you doing at home lately? Are you eating well? Is it cold at home?"

Xu Han walked towards the main hall while asking about the two children's recent situation.

By the time we reached the main hall, we had already learned all the basic information about the two children.

When Xu Han saw the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao, she greeted them first, and then sent Ze'er to the kitchen to tell them that dinner was about to begin.

Mu'er was worried about her brother going alone, so she ran out too.

When Grandpa Zhao saw Xu Han, he smiled and said, "You don't look very well. Are you tired recently?"

Xu Han smiled slightly. "A little bit. I've been busy with the mountain goods store and the temporary workshop recently. Plus, the wine shop is about to open. I'm a little tired."

Grandpa Zhao looked at Xu Han's face and saw that it was not a big problem, so he stopped asking and said, "Your body is your own, no matter how tired you are, you must rest well.

If there is anything to do, let the people below do it, don't be silly and do everything yourself."

"I understand, Grandpa Zhao."

The Taoist priest at the side snorted coldly, "It's useless for you to say anything. Do you think this girl will listen? She is born with a desperate temper. It's impossible to make her calm down."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han stuck out her tongue guiltily and didn't dare to respond.

Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest punched Lu Chuan directly. Lu Chuan was caught off guard and was hit hard.

"You little bastard, you can't even control your own wife, what are you doing?"

After being scolded, Lu Chuan did not dare to refute. The couple lowered their heads and secretly looked at each other, holding back their laughter. They saw indescribable thoughts in each other's eyes, as if they were saying, it's all your fault, why don't you dare to refute.

Finally, it was Grandpa Zhao who came out to smooth things over, "Okay, they are both parents now, so they should be sensible in what they do.

Let's go to the side hall to eat. We have beef dumplings for lunch today. Didn't you complain a few days ago that you haven't had them for a long time? "

Xu Han quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes. We're having beef dumplings for lunch today. Taoist priest, please try Wei Yan's dumplings and see if they're delicious. If you don't like them, I'll make them for you later."

As they talked, they walked towards the dining room.

After Guo Daya set the table, Xu Han waved her hand and asked her to leave.

The family sat in the dining room, eating and chatting about family matters.

"Is the house finished? What kind of work have they been doing lately?"

The Taoist priest explained, “It’s finished. It was just finished a few days ago. The ground has also been paved. We used the leftover bluestone slabs.

These days we are using the adobe bricks we made earlier to build the courtyard wall. The wall is easy to build and will be finished in two or three days."

Lu Chuan looked up at Grandpa Zhao and asked, "Are the clay embryos from before enough?"

"Enough. After you came to the county, I asked them to take advantage of the good weather and spend a few days making adobe bricks. After all the walls are built, there should be some left."

"Well, it's enough. There's a lot of open space over there in the valley, and it'll be safe to live in if we build a yard.

After the pile is built, you can also dry things in the yard, and then you won’t have to worry about being attacked by wild animals even if no one is watching.”

Grandpa Zhao agreed, "That's right. The open space in the yard is paved with bluestone slabs. If you want to dry something, someone has to watch it, and it's really troublesome to put it away at night."

When they were building the wall, the Taoist priest had them build it very high, almost as high as the wall at home. Not only that, he also put a row of sharpened branches on the wall, so that even if the few of us who are good at martial arts are not at home, we don’t have to worry about them.

Xu Han gave them a thumbs up and said flatteringly, "Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest are still reliable. It's worry-free for you to do things."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Chuan and said, "Look how attentive you are! You even thought of this."

The Taoist priest rolled his eyes at Xu Han and said, "Girl, stop flattering us. Everyone knows what you are thinking. If you make us happy, we will have someone to look after the children and help take care of the family. Your plan has come back at me."

Xu Han was too shameless to admit it. "Look at what you said. Am I that kind of person?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Ze'er even clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Mom is not that kind of person."

This sentence successfully made everyone laugh.

After laughing, Xu Han changed the subject and talked about his visit to the county magistrate today, and asked about what the county magistrate had told them.

The Taoist priest peeled garlic in his hand and looked at Xu Han. "Are you talking about this? I remember I just told you about it some time ago, but you didn't pay attention to it at that time. You left after I said a few words."

Xu Han thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. She continued to ask, "Is what the county magistrate said true?"

The Taoist priest took a bite of garlic with a crunchy sound, and then took a bite of dumplings. "Yes, it's true. It was only during the summer harvest this year that it became popular throughout the country.

In the first half of the year, only a small number of areas used it. Later, the current emperor saw that the effect was indeed very good, so he ordered that it be used throughout the country. "

Grandpa Zhao added, "The Taoist priest told me about this, but the specific harvest statistics will not be available until mid-November."

There was no way. Communications were not well developed at that time and Yuanqing Kingdom was very large.

It takes several months to report the statistical data layer by layer. After the autumn harvest, the data will be counted in mid-November. It can be seen that this is the result of constant urging.

Otherwise, it will be even slower.

The Taoist priest picked up a handkerchief beside him, wiped his mouth and said, "Once the result comes out, I guess the emperor will give you more rewards, so I wrote a letter to Yunhua a few days ago, asking him to try his best to get you something practical."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared. She diligently served the Taoist priest a bowl of dumpling soup so that the original soup could be used to digest the original food.

"The Taoist priest loves me the most. I would like to thank him first."

The Taoist priest looked at Xu Han with a sly smile and asked, "Do you want to be an official?"

Xu Han was stunned. Is this still possible? "Are you going to take up the post? If you are, forget it."

“No need, knowing that you don’t like these, Yunhua will definitely not let you go.

What I mean is, do you want to get a sinecure, the kind where you just collect salary but do no work?

I was thinking, aren't you going to do business in the future? It's not a big deal to keep clinging to others. If someone messes with you one day, you'll be finished.

In that case, I'll get you an official position. It's better to rely on yourself than on others!

If you hold a position of power, you won't have to worry about other people's opinions. "
