Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 583 Purpose

Then, without waiting for the county magistrate to reply, he continued, "These jars are some canned fruits made by the common women. They are not expensive and are only eaten fresh in winter.

We also sell it in our wine shop. If it tastes good, let me know and I’ll send some over to you.”

The county magistrate was so smart that he immediately understood the purpose of Xu Han's visit.

Although I know that I may be being taken advantage of, I can't help but feel comfortable hearing the nice words.

The county magistrate thought to himself, "Besides, the other party is Madam Lu, a mysterious figure that has been frequently mentioned in the court recently. I am willing to be used by her.

While I am still valuable to him, I must make Mrs. Lu owe me a favor. When the Lu family becomes prosperous, I can also have some connections with them."

Of course, Xu Han had no idea what the county magistrate was thinking at the moment, and she continued to be polite and try to get close to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate did not hesitate and directly promised, "Madam Lu, please rest assured. As long as I am in office, I will protect your shop well. In the future, I will also remind the people below to take care of it more.

From now on, in the county town, as long as it is your shop, I guarantee that no one will dare to cause trouble."

The reason why the county magistrate could say this was, on the one hand, because the Taoist priest had specifically reminded him of this, and on the other hand, because the method of composting manure given by Xu Han really benefited the people of Yuanqing State. This was definitely a good thing that benefited the country and the people and was worthy of respect.

Xu Han said politely, "Then I'll have to trouble the county magistrate to take care of it."

After a few polite words, Xu Han and Lu Chuan stood up and said goodbye.

This trip to the county government office went exceptionally smoothly, and the county magistrate's attitude was particularly cordial, even a little flattering.

After leaving the gate of the county government, Xu Han couldn't wait to say, "I didn't expect the county magistrate to be so easy to get along with. Judging from his clothes and conversation, it's not hard to tell that he is a good official."

Lu Chuan smiled and said, "This county magistrate has been working hard to achieve political achievements since he was transferred here after the disaster.

Whether it was overhauling official roads and riverbanks, repairing county towns and villages, or restoring the county economy and war donations, he made many political achievements.

I have to say that from the perspective of the common people, our county magistrate is really a good official who cares about the people."

Xu Han said with a smile, "It's true. It's a blessing for the people of our county to have such a county magistrate.

But why did the county magistrate suddenly treat us so well? Is it really because of the composting method?"

Ever since Yunhua brought back the bounty last time, Xu Han never asked about anything related to composting. The Taoist priest had mentioned it before, but was interrupted by Xu Han.

At that time, I was only busy with the three acres of land at home and didn't want to care about so many things. So I told the Taoist priest directly that he could handle the matter of composting on his own. Anyway, the method had been given to him, and I didn't care about the rest.

After that, I never asked about the follow-up and effects of composting. It was really too long ago and I had long forgotten about it.

After listening to this, Lu Chuan frowned slightly and shook his head, "I don't know. No matter what, this is a good thing for us. I'll ask Master when I see him later. He will definitely know."

"Well, I can only ask the Taoist priest."

The two talked as they walked towards the tavern. It was only a few days away from opening, and the servants were busy in the makeshift workshop.

There was almost no one else coming to the tavern except Li Wen. Today, the couple came mainly to distribute the wine and fill jars.

The fruit wine I brought from home is all packed in large wine jars. After the business opens in a few days, it will definitely be packaged and sold.

The servants didn't have time to come over to work, so the two of them had to do it themselves.

We can't wait until the opening day and then package the food when customers want it. That would be too slow.

While there are still two days left, quickly package some of the goods out so that customers can just take them when they come to buy them.

The two men opened the door of the shop and went directly to the backyard. Lu Chuan first cleaned the newly delivered wine jar inside and out, and then turned it upside down on the ground to dry the moisture.

The shop has two rooms and the yard is not small, which can hold a lot of empty wine jars.

Today is a nice day with a strong sun. I washed it in the morning and it will be completely dry in the afternoon, so I can start packaging the wine in the evening.

Xu Han took a basin, filled it with water, and went outside to clean the cabinets.

It has been several days since the last cleaning. Although the shop has been closed, some dust has accumulated.

Take some time today to clean all the cabinets and the floor, and you can open the business in two days.

The couple were busy with their own things, and before they knew it, it was time for lunch.

Xu Han looked up at the sun and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back first. I think the Taoist priest and the others should be here by now."

"Okay, go home first and come back this afternoon."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, Xu Han immediately threw the rag onto the cupboard, thinking that she would soon be able to see her long-missed son, so she had to go back quickly.

When walking back, both of them couldn't help but walk much faster than usual, looking forward to returning home as soon as possible.

I haven't seen my two sons for many days, and I miss them so much!

Not only do the couple miss their children, but the children also miss their parents.

Before leaving, Xu Han told Wei Yan that he would be back for lunch at noon, and also told him that the children at home might come over, and asked him to cook at noon depending on the situation.

If the children come, add an extra dish. If they don’t come, just eat normally.

The Taoist priest brought the two children back to the house first. Mu'er and Ze'er knew that their father and mother would come back for lunch, so they waited for them in the front yard.

At this time, he heard the voices of Xu Han and Lu Chuan talking, and hurried forward to open the door.

After seeing who was coming, the two children hugged one of Xu Han's legs, saying "Mom, I missed you so much!"

Xu Han squatted down and hugged them. She also kissed them on the face and said, "Mom misses you too.

Come on, let your mother see if you have grown taller."

The two children cooperated very well and turned around. Lu Chuan, who was left out in the cold, said at the right time, "They have all grown taller and stronger. Especially Mu'er, she is much taller than before."

Lu Chuan has now become accustomed to the double standards of his two sons. After being hurt so many times, the pain no longer occurs to him.

Although the two sons were very cold to him, well... I can only say that compared to their enthusiasm towards their mother, they were indeed very cold to their father. But his father also missed them!

Lu Chuan automatically ignored the two children's indifference, picked up his younger son and went straight to the main hall.
