Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 542 Preparing to open a shop

Grandpa Zhao said, "You are right. Now that we have more servants, we should keep a distance from them, otherwise we will not be able to establish our prestige."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

The three chatted for a few more sentences, and then Lu Chuan came back carrying the hunted rabbit.

Xu Han saw him take the hare from his hand and said, "Why are you back so late? Come back earlier next time."

"I walked a little further chasing rabbits today. There are a lot of rabbits in the mountains now. I caught quite a few in the afternoon."

The Taoist priest continued, "We can start winter hunting soon. Catch more of them and don't let them become too numerous. They reproduce quickly."

"Well, we'll start winter hunting when the weather gets colder soon. There are more people this year, so there will definitely be a lot of things to hunt."

Xu Han changed the subject and asked, "Did you take the prey you hunted directly to the valley?"

"Yes, I delivered it on the way. In addition to the rabbit, there was also a pheasant, so I gave it to them as well."

"Just send it over. Has Han Qi come back?"

Lu Chuan answered Xu Han while washing his hands, "I'm back. I just got back when I went there. Dan Niang wanted to come over to cook, but I didn't let her come. I was busy over there today, so I asked her to stay over there.

I just happened to want to eat the beer duck you made. I remember you have it in your space. We won’t make it later. Let’s just eat it directly!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Han glanced at Lu Chuan. Seeing that Lu Chuan had a frank look on his face, he thought to himself that maybe he was overthinking it!

Then he said, "Okay, there are still a lot of dishes in the space! Take out some more later and we can have a big meal."

Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest naturally noticed this look, but neither of them said anything. Grandpa Zhao agreed, "That's great. Let's not go over there to join in the fun. We can have some fun at home."

After listening to Xu Han, she turned and went to the kitchen. After she went in, the Taoist priest glanced at Lu Chuan, who was still a little confused.

Grandpa Zhao reminded her, "If you have any problem in the future, tell Xiaohan first. The most important thing is to stay away from those girls."

Lu Chuan finally understood Xu Han's look and patted his forehead, thinking, "I was careless."

But he did not forget to say, "Thanks to the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao for reminding me. I was careless. I will be more careful next time."

The two of them didn't know what to say after hearing that; the young couple had to resolve their own issues.

In the evening, after Lu Chuan finished washing up and returned to the room, he apologized to Xu Han when he saw her.

Xu Hanbei was confused by this sudden apology. "I thought it was something else! It's not that I'm petty, it's mainly because other people are watching. If you get too close to them, people will definitely gossip.

Of course, I definitely believe you, you are the best to me."

After saying this, Xu Han hugged Lu Chuan tightly and kissed him.

Seeing Xu Han's reaction, Lu Chuan couldn't help but regret that he really didn't know how to behave. From now on, he decided to let his wife say these words to them.

In fact, Xu Han was not making a fuss about this matter. The main reason was that in this era, men were required to have three wives and four concubines. In the past, Lu Chuan did not have the opportunity to come into contact with so many girls, so naturally he did not have this idea.

But now there are so many young girls in the valley at once, Xu Han can't help but think too much, and of course she is even more afraid that Lu Chuan really has these thoughts.

If that day really comes, Xu Han will definitely choose to let Lu Chuan go, let herself go, and try not to become a resentful couple.

Fortunately, after this incident, Lu Chuan paid more attention. In addition, he himself did not have these thoughts, so he naturally kept his distance from other women.

Facts proved that Xu Han made the right bet, and Lu Chuan never let her down for the rest of her life. Of course, this is all a story for later.

Time passed quickly, and dozens of people worked for four consecutive days before finally picking all the mountain products.

There was no room for them in the valley, so they were later moved to the old house. Now both the old house and the valley are filled with walnuts, pine nuts, chestnuts and the like.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed. During this time, not only have we packed up the mountain products we picked, but we have also transported back all the bricks and tiles. Now the house is half built.

Xu Han looked at the house slowly rising up in front of her and couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to have more people! Everything can be done faster."

That night, the family sat together and discussed, "Now that we have finished picking the mountain products and half of the house is built, I am thinking about whether we can open a shop in the county town and make some money before the New Year."

The Taoist priest nodded and said, "It's time to start planning."

"Well, our canned goods and fruit wine can only be sold at a good price before the New Year. It will also take a lot of time to renovate the house in the county town."

"Then let Han Qi take a few maids over to clean up tomorrow! Then we can live more comfortably when we go there in a couple of days."

Lu Chuan agreed and said, "Okay, let them go first. The two of us will take care of the family affairs in the next two days. We may not be able to come back for a long time."

At this time, Grandpa Zhao asked at the right time, "How many shops do you plan to open? Have you decided where to open them?"

Xu Han explained, "I have discussed this with Lu Chuan before. We plan to open a grocery store first to sell the mushrooms and mountain products we have at home."

The Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this. "Grocery store? Don't grocery stores sell daily necessities? Is it okay to sell mountain products?"

Xu Han nodded and said, "Of course, even though it's a grocery store, it can still sell these. Don't ordinary grocery stores have these?"

We also thought about this problem when we were naming the store, so in order to highlight the things we sell, we changed the name of the store to Lu’s Fresh Mountain Products Store.

Directly highlight what we want to sell, so that others will know what is sold in the store as soon as they hear it.

Although it is also a grocery store, we are different from other grocery stores. The difference is quite big. We mainly sell fresh produce and dried goods.

This way, we can sell our own products, whether it is fruits, meat or vegetables, in the shop."

Grandpa Zhao nodded after listening to it. "This is a good idea. The name is novel, and most importantly, it is especially suitable for us."

Lu Chuan said, "Yes, after a long time, people living nearby can go directly to our shop to buy vegetables, and they don't have to go all the way to the market."

The Taoist priest asked again, "Where do you plan to open it?"

“I wanted to expand this shop, so I simply ruled out smaller shops.

After much deliberation, only the four shops on South Street were the most suitable.

But there are pros and cons to opening there.

The advantage is that people like to buy vegetables at the vegetable market on South Street. There is a large flow of people there to buy vegetables, and the customer base is also precise.
