Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 468: Pay wages in advance

The Taoist priest nodded and said, "It's quite good, not bad, it's really worth it to be able to buy such a big shop in this location at this price."

Grandpa Zhao also agreed, "Yes, this shop is a good buy. It will be a good choice to open a restaurant or something else in the future. The place is large, the location is good, and there is a lot of traffic. Any business will be easy to sell.

Even if I want to rent it out in the future, it will be easy to rent in this location. And the rent will be much higher than the market price.”

Lu Chuan also laughed and said, "That's what I liked about it at the beginning, so Xiaohan and I wanted to buy it immediately after seeing it. Most of the money we spent on buying real estate was spent on this shop and house."

Xu Han interrupted and said, "This shop and the house originally belonged to the same owner. The house is more beautiful than this. Come on, I'll take you to see our new home."

As she spoke, she led everyone out. Along the way, Xu Han chattered and pointed out some other shops, but because the weather was too hot, no one went down to take a look.

It was almost noon and the sun was too strong outside to stay here.

Otherwise, Xu Han would definitely show off their newly bought shop with the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao.

The three of them drove the ox cart all the way home. As soon as they entered the house, Zhu Qiang came over. It seemed that he was waiting at the door in case the host came back and couldn't get in.

"The master and the mistress are back." Zhu Qiang said and took the rope from Lu Chuan.

Xu Han said, "Well, call everyone to the main hall."

Lu Chuan added, "This ox cart was rented at the livestock market. Remember to find someone to return the ox later."

"Okay, sir, I'll do it right away."

"Don't worry. The weather is hot now. You have only rented it for one day, so there is no need to rush to return it. You can go in the afternoon when the sun is not too bright."

"Oh, I understand, sir."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he led everyone into the yard, introducing the new house to the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao as they walked.

When they met Wang Lin on the road, Xu Han asked, "Is the house clean?"

"It's all cleaned up. We've cleaned up every corner."

"Okay, I understand, you go down first."

After Xu Han finished speaking, he said to Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest, "Taoist priest, Grandpa Zhao has cleaned up the house now. You two can go around and choose a yard. There are quite a lot of rooms here. You can choose the one you like."

Grandpa Zhao said, "I'd better live with the Taoist priest. We have been used to living together for so many years. If we each have our own yard, we won't even have anyone to talk to at night."

"Yes, yes, yes. We can live together. Just find anyone. We are not picky."

After hearing what the two said, Xu Han took them directly to the largest and best yard in the front yard. Now that the house was big, it would not be appropriate for them to live in the backyard.

So Xu Han took them directly to the front yard, which was very close to the big study. Of course, the small courtyard also had its own study, which was large and bright.

As soon as he entered, the Taoist priest said hello three times, "Haha, this courtyard is nice, and the name is good, I like it."

The name of this small courtyard is Lanxuetang, and the backyard where Xu Han and Lu Chuan live is Yushengju.

The two children are still too young. Xu Han is worried about them living in a courtyard by themselves, and they are not familiar with the newly bought servants. So before leaving yesterday, she specifically ordered everyone to clean up the side hall of Yushengju and let them stay here temporarily tonight. She will give them courtyards when they grow up.

After everyone put their things away, they followed the two men to the main hall.

The weather is too hot now. Let’s wait until it’s cooler in the afternoon before going to visit the yard. If we go to visit the yard at this time, we might get heatstroke before we can even walk around.

Xu Han didn't want to take the medicine. After all, they were her own family and she couldn't run away. She could go shopping anytime. It didn't matter what time it took.

After they arrived at the main hall, the servants were already waiting in the corridor.

"Come in, it's hot outside, don't get a heat stroke."

The couple sat at the main seat, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao sat on both sides, and the two children also sat with them.

After everyone was seated, Xu Han took a look at the new clothes everyone had changed into. They were clean and tidy, and she was very satisfied.

"Is there enough fabric? Is the dress finished?"

Yue Niang said, "Madam, now everyone has made a set to wear, and there are still a few sets that have not been sewn. I estimate that we can finish them tonight if we hurry up and finish them."

"Well, don't forget to make the shoes."

"Yes, ma'am. The remaining scraps have been made into soles this morning. After they are dried, we can start making shoes."

Xu Han smiled and said, "Today the sun is strong. We can finish it in two days. Thank you for your hard work these days."

Then he continued, "We will go back to the mountains early tomorrow morning. There are not as many rooms in the mountains as here, and the place is not big. You won't even have a place to stay after you go there. So we have to hurry up and build a house after we go back tomorrow. Otherwise, when it gets cold in a while, you won't be able to sleep on the floor even if you squeeze together."

No one had any objection to Xu Han's statement of wanting to go back to the mountains. After all, they were told to stay in the mountains when they were bought.

Seeing that no one was talking, Xu Han continued, "This afternoon, you should pack your things first. Take your clothes, shoes, and our newly made bedding with you. Everyone should come to me to collect one month's wages. In the afternoon, you can go to the county town to take a look and see if there is anything you want to buy.

After all, our home is far from the county town, and it will not be easy to come to the county town in the future."

Everyone was overjoyed to hear Xu Han's words, and they all thought about what to buy after receiving their wages. Some people still had some money in their hands, and thought they would have no chance to go out shopping, but they didn't expect that the master would be so thoughtful. Not only did they pay them a month's salary in advance, they even gave them an afternoon off.

In this era, there is really no master who can give servants a holiday. Where can I find such a good master? I secretly made up my mind to work hard in the future and try to please the master so that I can live a better life.

After Xu Han had arranged everything that needed to be arranged, she introduced the people in the family to each other. After everyone got to know each other, they started to have lunch.

Yue Niang had prepared today's lunch in advance with the remaining ingredients. It was almost time for lunch when they came back, and after talking for a while, everyone felt a little hungry.

Fortunately, after it was made, it was placed in the pot to keep warm. Although it doesn’t look very good, it still tastes very good.

Xu Han and his family had their meal in the side hall, and after eating, they all returned to their own courtyards to take a nap.
