Chapter 585: Get a job as an official?
Xu Han was very excited when she heard this, and her thoughts were turning rapidly.
The Taoist priest was right. It is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. If I can get a sinecure because of this, my business will definitely be different in the future.
If nothing else, you will definitely not be bullied.
If you hold an official position and meet someone who wants to cause trouble, you should think twice.
These days, the punishment for bullying ordinary people and bullying officials is different.
Although a small official position cannot suppress those aristocratic families, it is completely sufficient in the county town or the provincial capital.
Although she was very excited, Xu Han still had some concerns.
She knew that she was a little special. If she really got an official position, wouldn't she be exposed under the eyes of those people?
Thinking of this, she asked.
Who would have thought that the chief would wave his hand nonchalantly and say, "Don't worry about that. I have already eliminated all those who could pose a threat to you."
It can be said that in Yuanqing Country, as long as you don’t expose it, no one else will know except the few people present here.”
Originally, the Taoist priest's junior fellow had been keeping an eye on Xu Han, but during the war, the Taoist priest simply got rid of him.
Of course, Xu Han didn’t know all this.
It was precisely because there was no one who could threaten Xu Han that the Taoist priest suggested that she take up a small official position.
After so many years of getting along, Xu Han still trusts the Taoist priest very much. Now that he said so, Xu Han can completely put her mind at ease.
He smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say."
"Okay, after dinner I'll send a message to Yunhua and ask him to say a few good words for you."
Xu Han looked at the Taoist priest, smiling like a cunning fox, and pinched her small hand, "It would be even better if you could give me a little more reward.
Hehehe, I want to build a workshop outside the county town, but I don’t have enough money. I don’t mind either the money or the land.”
Fearing that the Taoist priest and Yunhua would despise her, Xu Han immediately continued to seduce him, "Tell Yunhua that if he can do it, I will pay for all his drinking in the future.
Of course, we cannot forget your help, Taoist Priest."
After hearing this, the Taoist priest raised his hand and slapped Xu Han on the head, "Do you think the current emperor is so easy to control?
As the saying goes, living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. If you dare to make demands to the emperor, do you want to die?"
Xu Han covered her head which was hurt by the beating and said with a wronged look, "Isn't that what I said if? If His Majesty is in a good mood, then it will happen."
Grandpa Zhao smiled and interrupted, "Xiao Han is right. The current emperor is not the kind of person who would not take opinions. When the emperor is in a good mood, it is not impossible for him to mention it."
The Taoist priest looked at the two of them with amusement, as if he couldn't do anything about them, but in the end he didn't say anything else.
Lu Chuan, who watched the whole process from the side, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and it was really uncomfortable to hold it back.
The two children probably understood what they were saying, but they were very sensible and never played around or interrupted them when they were talking. They just listened carefully.
After eating and drinking, they moved to the main hall and sat for a while, then got up together and went to the tavern.
With the help of the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao, the group packaged the wine faster.
The two children helped carry the wine jars that had been washed in the morning to Xu Han's side.
Xu Han sat aside and packaged the wine, one by one. After packaging, she placed it on the ground nearby. Grandpa Zhao then moved it over and placed it on the shelf.
Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest continued to clean the wine jars that had not been washed yet.
There were only four large and two small ones forming an assembly line, and in just one and a half hours, they had prepared all the needed fruit wine.
Fruit wine is expensive and men don't like to drink it, so there won't be many people buying it. This amount of wine should be enough for a while.
After packing, Xu Han looked around and found a jar of sweet potato wine nearby, so she quickly asked Lu Chuan to bring it out.
"These will be left next to the counter. When the restaurant opens, we will have people pour some out in small wine glasses and let people outside taste them. This will also help promote the restaurant."
There shouldn't be a lot of people coming to the store on the opening day, mainly because their target customers this time are not ordinary people, so it certainly won't be as crowded as a mountain goods store opening.
"Well, there are quite a few small wine glasses at home, just bring them all over tomorrow."
The few of them stayed in the store for a while. After putting all the washed wine jars into the warehouse, Lu Chuan asked the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao to take the children back first.
"The temporary workshop should still be busy. Let's go over there and take a look. You guys can go back first.
The temperature is low today, and it will be even colder now that the sun is out. You guys go back first, and we’ll take a look and then go back.”
Grandpa Zhao urged, "Then you guys should come back early. We agreed to have hotpot tonight. You can't come back late."
Xu Han smiled and agreed, "Don't worry, go back and ask Wei Yan to make the chicken soup first, we will be there soon, so we won't stay there for long."
After saying that, the two parties walked in different directions.
On the way, Xu Han was still chatting with Lu Chuan about having hotpot in the evening.
"Zer remembers it now. He has been clamoring to eat hot pot since today. This time last year, he didn't know anything!"
"Yes, it's been busy this year. Since winter started, our family hasn't sat together to eat hot pot or barbecue.
Don’t mention them, I want to eat them too.”
After Xu Han finished speaking, she licked her lips unconsciously, looking very greedy.
"That's not difficult. Just cook it if you want to eat it. When we get back later, we can prepare some barbecue ingredients.
Then we can just grill it on the charcoal stove, it won’t be a big hassle.”
Xu Han laughed even more happily after hearing this. "Okay, bring out some mutton later and we'll eat mutton skewers."
The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the temporary workshop.
When they arrived, people in the workshop were busy.
In the middle of winter, everyone only wore an inner layer of clothing without any cotton coats.
There was a fire burning in the yard and the oilcloth on the roof was not removed. In addition, the cooked sweet potatoes were steaming, so it was not cold in the shop.
Seeing her coming, Juxiang hurried over and asked, "How is it? Can you come over?"
"Madam is here, busy as hell. Even though we added a few more pots, there are too many of us! We've used up all the sweet potatoes in this warehouse in just one day."
Xu Han took a look and found that they were indeed moving very quickly. At this time, all the open space in the shop was filled with sweet potatoes drying in the sun. The scene was very spectacular.
"Okay, then you guys keep busy. Everyone has been working overtime these days and it's been very hard. Let them go home early to rest today and continue working tomorrow.
No one is delivering sweet potatoes now. With so many of you, you can finish all of them in a few days. There is no need to rush.
