Chapter 573 Shipping Cargo
Li Wen quickly replied, "The master just mentioned this when he came to deliver the goods. They have delivered all the sprouts.
There is not enough space in the shop, so the master said to put everything in the house, so it will be convenient to take it back and forth."
Xu Han felt relieved after hearing this. This way, the sprouts would not be out of stock immediately after they were put on the market.
It seems that these freshly made goods still need to be made at home. Otherwise, if it is cloudy or rainy one day, the goods from the mountains cannot be delivered down, which will delay the business of the shop.
Fortunately, both of these are very simple and can be made with a little effort.
"Okay, I get it. Go ahead and get busy. When you're not busy here, remember to help out in the workshop."
After Xu Han finished speaking, she walked out and headed towards the workshop. As luck would have it, she met Han Qi driving a ox cart on the road.
Xu Han asked, "Where are you going?"
"Ma'am, I'm planning to go to the cattle market to rent two ox carts.
Grandpa Zhao said he was afraid of heavy snow in the next two days, so he transported all the goods that could be transported out of the mountains down.
Just now the master said that he wanted to send down some fruit wine and other things, and he was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough cars, so he asked me to rent two more.”
Xu Han nodded and said, "Okay, go to the shop and ask two people to drive the ox cart. When you see Grandpa Zhao, remember to ask him to prepare some soybeans and mung beans to bring down.
It’s better to prepare more, so I told him that I was going to cook bean sprouts and tofu in the house.”
After a pause, he added, "Bring more chickens, ducks, and geese. The meat in the shop is also selling well."
Han Qi nodded, "Okay, Madam, I will definitely bring it over."
The weather has been cold recently, which is a good time for winter hunting. Han Qi and Lu Chuan are both in the county town, and the Taoist priest has nothing to do at home, so he goes to the mountains every day.
All day long, we hunted a lot of rabbits and pheasants, and even a lot of wild sheep and roe deer.
The hunted prey would usually be delivered by Han Qi the next day and sold directly in the shop.
It is precisely because of the prey hunted by the Taoist priest that the shop has such a high profit.
The Taoist priest refused to accept the money from selling game in the shop. He got angry when he counted the money, and later Xu Han stopped settling accounts with him.
But he still asked Li Wen to make a separate account book for each prey delivered, and when he had enough in the future, he would give them all to him to avoid the trouble of counting them every day.
Seeing that the Taoist priest was very happy going up the mountain to hunt every day, Xu Han just ignored him and let him do what he wanted.
After saying goodbye to Han Qi, she went back to the workshop. Perhaps because the weather was cloudy today, there were fewer people selling sweet potatoes than yesterday.
Having said that, there are still a lot of people, but you don’t have to queue like yesterday.
Weighing each sweet potato one by one, the speed of harvesting sweet potatoes is quite fast.
While Juxiang was settling the money, she also copied today's accounts into the new account book in her free time. The others also took time out of their busy schedules to do other things whenever they had time.
Seeing that she was not needed to harvest sweet potatoes, she went straight into the kitchen and started helping to light the fire.
She didn't leave the kitchen all day, and even ate her meals sitting around the stove.
It is really too cold today. It is gloomy outside, and the north wind is howling. It looks like a blizzard is about to come.
Fortunately, God was kind to us. Although there were strong winds all day long, it didn't snow.
They were given just one day to deliver all the goods that the shop would need in the recent period.
In the afternoon, Xu Han learned that the shelves had already been set up at the wine shop, and she couldn't wait to go over and take a look.
The tavern had been cleaned when it was not busy before, and there was no dust inside at this time. Lu Chuan directly led people to set up the shelves and put the goods on them.
The wine shop is half the size of the mountain goods shop. There are only two shops here, but it is enough for the current use.
The shelves in the room on the left are filled with all kinds of canned fruits, some weighing several kilograms.
If we only sell goods weighing one kilogram, the goods on the shop will not be good enough as the variety is too limited.
So after Xu Han saw this, she quickly asked Han Qi to put out two bottles of other types of goods of different weights, so that the shelf would appear to be full.
There is nothing on the shelves of the shop on the right for the time being. The fruit wine jars are too big to fit in, so they are all placed in a row on the ground against the wall.
After a few days when Manager Liu delivers the jars of wine, you can just package them individually and put them on the shelf.
Since all the wine jars were made the same, Xu Han asked them to stick paper labels directly on the lids later.
There is not enough time to make different jars for this batch. When I have time later, I will design some separate fruit wine jars.
Try to paint different fruits on each jar of fruit wine so that people can tell what fruit wine is inside by just looking at the pattern on the jar.
Lu Chuan followed Xu Han around the new shop and said, "The placement of these things is in accordance with what we discussed before. See if there is anything you want to change."
Xu Han looked around again and said, "Everything is good. There's nothing to change. Let's leave it as it is."
Then he asked, "Did you bring the wine bag?"
"I brought it. The wine container was made by Grandpa Zhao out of bamboo when he was free. It's all new."
Xu Han nodded and said, "That's fine. Put one in each wine jar to prevent the taste from mixing."
Currently, all the wine sold in the shop is fruit wine. Last time, Grandpa Zhao said that he wanted to mix some medicinal wine, and then he would sell it in the shop!
It’s just that there is not much sweet potato wine at home now. There are medicinal herbs, but not enough wine, so I didn’t soak them.
But it doesn’t matter. You can add more slowly after the shop opens. There’s no rush anyway.
Xu Han looked back at Lu Chuan and asked, "Have all the canned food from the mountains been delivered?"
"I kept some for myself to eat during the New Year, and some for Yunhua and Yunyun. The rest was shipped here."
"Well, just leave it here. I was afraid you had already transported them all down! Is there anything else that needs to be transported down? Have you finished transporting them all today?"
Lu Chuan thought for a moment and replied, "Except for what we eat at home, almost all the other supplies in the mountains have been transported down.
It’s just that we didn’t transport too many chickens, ducks, geese, etc. There’s no place to raise these things in the county, so we only transported a few dozen. When they’re all sold out later, we can ask Han Qi to transport more.”
Xu Han nodded and said, "That's right. If we transport them down now, the chickens, ducks and geese will become thin and hungry if we leave them there. We can wait until the weather clears up before we get them."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and the sky gradually darkened. The couple closed the shop door and walked towards the workshop.
