Chapter 569: Crowded
After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he pulled Xu Han to leave. Xu Han paused for a moment, turned around and said to the people working in the yard, "It's getting late, and it's quite cold now. You guys should stop working. Leave the unfinished work in the house. Go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Li said, "Madam, we are not cold. There is a fire burning in the stove now. It is warm and not cold at all."
Although they were washing sweet potatoes, they were using well water so it was warm and did not freeze their hands. In addition, they were working non-stop and there were so many stoves around, so they really did not feel cold. Some people even took off their cotton-padded jackets to make it easier to work.
Those who did not take off their cotton-padded jackets also had beads of sweat on their foreheads, which were particularly obvious under the light of the fire.
Seeing this, Xu Han did not try to persuade them, "Okay, but go back quickly after you finish dealing with the things in the yard.
If you want to do it, do it tomorrow. If you are too tired today, you won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. As she was about to leave, she remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, I asked Chef Wei to prepare some sugar-water eggs for you. Remember to have them as a midnight snack when you go back.
Each person gets two eggs, and there is as much sugar water as they want. Hot water and other things are also being heated in the pot.
Don’t forget to look for it in the kitchen when you go back.”
The people who were working enthusiastically worked even harder after hearing Xu Han's words, and laughed even more happily, but they also said to Xu Han, "Madam, you spent money, so we won't be polite."
"Thank you, ma'am. Don't worry, we will definitely not forget it. You and the master can go back and rest early."
Just like that, the couple turned around and went back, saying thank you repeatedly.
Mrs. Li even wanted to go back with them to help the master and mistress wash and dress, but Xu Han refused.
When I got home, Wei Yan and his wife were still awake and were preparing supper for the night in the kitchen.
Lu Chuan didn't ask them for help. He fetched hot water for washing himself. After they washed up, they went straight to bed.
Before going to bed, Xu Han nestled in Lu Chuan's arms and did not forget to ask him if he had beaten Han Qi.
Lu Chuan held his forehead and smiled indulgently, "Beat him up, beat him up hard, I guarantee it will work."
Xu Han laughed and said, "You should talk to him properly. If it happens again, don't want him anymore."
Lu Chuan listened to her words and thought that his wife really knew what Han Qi's weakness was.
No matter whether I beat him up or explained the matter to him in detail, it probably wouldn't be as effective as what Xu Han said.
"Or, you tell him that what you say is more intimidating than what I say. It's useless."
Han Qi and Lu Chuan are familiar with each other. If Lu Chuan said something to Han Qi, he might just laugh it off. But if Xu Han said this, Han Qi would definitely be scared to death.
Xu Han rolled her eyes at him and turned away from him. "Don't tell me. It's your people that you are in charge of. Go to sleep."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Chuan to say anything else, he wrapped himself in the quilt tightly and fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Chuan laughed foolishly, put his arms around his wife who fell asleep in seconds, and adjusted his own posture to prepare for sleep.
The next day, when Xu Han woke up, the sun had already risen. She got dressed and got out of bed. There was no one in the yard. Only then did she realize that she had gotten up late today.
Just as I was about to turn around and go to the kitchen, Guo Daya came over with hot water.
"Madam, you are awake. The master said that you were tired and asked you to sleep a little longer, so I didn't call you."
Xu Han asked back, "Where is the master?"
"The master has gone to the big shop. Before he left, he told me to tell you not to worry and to go there slowly after breakfast. He is watching over the shop!"
Xu Han nodded slightly, "Well, let's set the table!"
After breakfast, Xu Han strolled to the shop by herself. When she passed by a big shop selling sweet potatoes, she saw that there were not many people inside, so she continued walking forward and went to the mountain goods shop to check out the situation.
I was here the whole day yesterday and didn't even go to the mountain product shop. It just opened and I can't just leave it alone.
When she arrived at the mountain goods shop, the shop was very crowded and busy. Even when she came in, everyone just greeted her and then lowered their heads to get busy.
Xu Han didn't care. She inspected the place and saw that the goods were well arranged and clean, so she turned around and went to the warehouse.
There is not much stock left in the warehouse, so it seems we need to go to the mountains to transport goods again.
Although there were many people in the shop, it was still orderly. Xu Han stayed in the mountain goods shop for a while and then prepared to get up and leave.
Before leaving, he reminded Li Wen, "I see there are not many goods in the warehouse. Remember to sort out the goods that need to be replenished later, and let Han Qi go back to prepare the goods in the afternoon.
I think the sprouts I planted some time ago can be sold now. I’ll ask Han Qi to bring them over tomorrow.
You can also advertise in your shop today and tell the people who come to buy vegetables that we will have new sprouts tomorrow, and the price is one penny per pound."
Then he continued, "You can still use the activity board you made last time. You just need to modify the content.
This way, other people can see the signs we put out and know that we have new products.”
"Okay ma'am, I'll do it after I'm done with this."
"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'll go over there and take a look."
After Xu Han finished speaking, he turned around and left, strolling all the way to the big shop.
In just a short while, the sweet potato wine workshop was surrounded by people, many of whom blocked the road to the back door, and Xu Han couldn't get in.
She had no choice but to go around to the front and ask someone to open the door.
Fortunately, everyone could recognize her voice, and after knocking on the door for a while, someone came to open the door for her.
Xu Han smiled and said to the visitor, "There are too many people today. The back door is blocked. I squeezed there for a long time but couldn't get in.
By the way, how did the people who delivered the sweet potatoes get out? It’s not good for them to crowd at the back door! It’s holding up other people’s way.”
She asked as she walked inside, and the person who came to open the door explained, "There are so many people in the yard, it's so crowded that there's no room to stand."
Xu Han frowned slightly, "Okay, I got it, you go ahead and do your work."
After that, he went to find Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan was so busy that he couldn't keep up with the pace. After hearing what Xu Han said, he asked back, "So many people? I really don't know. Don't worry, I'll ask Han Qi to go and take a look."
"Okay, go ahead and make them line up one by one. The more crowded it is, the slower it will be."
"Okay, I understand. Han Qi and I will go to maintain order. You keep an eye on this side first."
Xu Han took the note from Lu Chuan and began to weigh and settle the bill.
After a while, Lu Chuan also came over and joined in the calculation and weighing.
Now with three people keeping accounts and weighing things, the pace suddenly increased.
