Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 500 Asking Wei Ya about something

"Okay, I understand." After saying that, Zhu Qiang started to lead people to transport straw outside.

Xu Han and Lu Chuan walked around near their home for a while, fed the chickens, ducks and geese, and went to the orchard to pick some pomegranates and dates. After a walk around, they felt much more relaxed and were finally no longer depressed.

After dinner, the servants went back early, leaving the whole family sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

Lu Chuan said, "Tomorrow morning, Xiaohan and I will go to the county town and find someone to make a batch of ceramic jars. We will also find someone to carve the patterns we drew today. It will probably take until very late, and we won't be back at night."

Grandpa Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, go and do your own things. You don't have to worry about the house."

The Taoist priest said, "When you come back, why don't you buy some bricks and tiles? I went to the valley tonight and saw that there were not many bricks and tiles left. I guess they are not enough. We haven't started the kitchen yet. There will be many places to use them in the future. Bring some back every time you go out, so you don't have to buy them later."

Xu Han said, "Well, I understand. But it will be more troublesome to buy it this time. You can't transport too much by ship at one time. If I had known, I would have bought more last time."

Lu Chuan smiled and held Xu Han's hand, "It's okay, we can ship it back by boat, and then we can ask them to go to the place where the boat is docked and pull it with a cart.

There isn't much at a time, so it will be done in a few trips. Besides, we will have to do this when we go home to buy things or transport things outside, so it's better to let them get used to it as soon as possible."

Grandpa Zhao added, "The road to that place has been deserted for years, and both sides are covered with weeds. Now carts can't even get through.

Let the Taoist priest take some people to clear the road tomorrow, so that when you come back the day after tomorrow, the road will be almost cleared, just enough to use carts to transport bricks and tiles."

Xu Han thought that this was indeed an important matter, so he said, "The road over there needs to be cleared. There will definitely be more and more people using it in the future. Even if it works this time, it will still be difficult to use next time. We might as well take this opportunity to clear it all at once and build the road directly.

The trees on both sides of the road should be cut down, and the potholes should be filled with soil. If we take care of it regularly in the future, this road will not continue to be abandoned. "

Lu Chuan also agreed. "Well, Xiaohan is right. But we definitely can't fix it tomorrow. Let's just roughly clean it up tomorrow. As long as it can pass a bus, it will be fine. When I have nothing to do later, I will take them to fix it properly. We will try to fix it as soon as possible so as not to delay its use later."

Of course Xu Han had no objection to what Lu Chuan said. After all, it was really impossible to repair such a long road in one day.

The Taoist priest waited until everyone had finished speaking before he spoke, "Okay, then after you leave tomorrow, I'll take people to clean up. Let's just do a rough clean up first. Just make sure the cart can pass and doesn't overturn, isn't that enough?"

"Sure. We will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest. Master, you can bring your people, ox carts and donkey carts to pick us up then."

After everyone discussed and confirmed it, Xu Han and Lu Chuan went back to rest. They planned to set off for the county town before dawn tomorrow. They had to go to bed early today, otherwise they would not be able to get up tomorrow morning and would waste time again.

The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao were enjoying the cool breeze in the yard, chatting casually...

The next day, after Lu Chuan woke up, he called Xu Han to get up. They got up together, washed up, and set off early without even having time to eat breakfast.

When they arrived at the place, Xu Han took out the big boat, and the couple took the boat to the county town.

I ate a quick bite of breakfast on the boat and kept on traveling without stopping. When I arrived at the county town, it was just a little after nine o'clock.

Lu Chuan asked, "Do you want to go back to the house and rest for a while?"

"No need for that. Let's take advantage of the fact that the weather is not too hot now and find someone to carve the seal. Then we can ask where we can find ceramic jars."

"Okay, let's go ask first."

The couple were not familiar with the current county town and after thinking for a long time they still didn't know who to ask.

So Xu Han said, "Why don't we go to Guanya and ask the people from Weiya, maybe he knows!"

After the last transaction, Wei Yaren had become an acquaintance of the couple in the county, so it would be most appropriate to ask him.

After all, he is a dentist, so he is well-informed and knows many people.

"Okay, let's go and ask."

"Would it be a bad idea for us to just go there like this? How about we bring a bag of pastries with us? After all, we are asking for help, and it would be a shame to go there empty-handed."

Lu Chuan pointed to the pastry shop in front and said, "Then let's go to the shop in front and buy some more to bring back for the two children."

Xu Han looked in the direction Lu Chuan pointed and found that it was the store she often bought from. The pastries there were quite delicious. She nodded and agreed.

The two of them went to the pastry shop together, and Xu Han picked and chose and bought ten bags of pastries, eight of which were bought for her own children, and they were all snacks that Mu'er and Ze'er liked to eat.

For the other two bags, Xu Han picked two items that were quite standard and in line with the general public’s tastes. They would never go wrong as gifts.

After buying the things, the two went straight to Guanya. After nearly a month of changes, Guanya now felt obviously more lively than before.

When the two arrived, Wei Yaren happened to be seeing off a customer at the door. When he saw the couple coming, he was a little surprised, but he was only stunned for a moment, then immediately came over to greet them with a smile.

"So it's Mr. Lu, Madam Lu. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

Lu Chuan went up to greet Wei Yaren, who brought Xu Han and Lu Chuan into the hall. After they exchanged a few greetings, Lu Chuan went straight to the point and said, "We came here today to ask Wei Yaren something. I wonder if Wei Yaren knows where in this county there is someone who can help carve a seal."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yaren thought about it seriously, and after a while he said, "It's true. There is a carpenter named Wang in the alley of South Street. His craftsmanship is first-class. The things he carves are lifelike, and his price is very reasonable.

I happen to have nothing to do right now, how about I take you there?"

When Lu Chuan heard what Wei Yaren said, he thought that they had been walking for a whole morning and his wife must be tired, so he asked, "Is it convenient?"

The Wei Ya people chuckled and said, "Look at what you said, that must be convenient. Please wait here for a while, I will go and pull the ox cart."
