Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 576 The Snow Stops, Ending Payment

Xu Han smiled after hearing this and said, "Why, are you anxious now that you've finished the work?"

Juxiang lowered her head in embarrassment. It was really because everyone had been so motivated recently that even she was moved. They were so united in doing something, which was something she had never experienced before.

When in the previous master's house, the maids and old women in the yard were always in discord with each other.

There were many secret plots, and we had never been so united in doing anything before.

We have been working together for so many days, so shouldn't I be motivated too?

Seeing that she was shy, Xu Han stopped teasing her and said, "Some people should be coming today. Not to mention other places far away, they are far away and the road is not easy to travel. They should be two days late, so they can come when the road is almost dry.

But the villages near the official road should come to sell today."

The official roads have been repaired. Although it has rained for a few days, the roads are not too muddy and there is no problem walking normally.

When Juxiang heard what Xu Han said, she immediately laughed out loud, "Hey, I'll ask them to prepare now, so that if someone really comes, they can weigh them in time."

Xu Han waved her hand and told her to get busy. Juxiang agreed and immediately took people to move out all the tools needed for harvesting sweet potatoes and put them in use.

Xu Han ignored her and called Mrs. Li over, "Mrs. Li, the sweet potatoes are cooked. After you clean up, you can rest in the shop for a while.

If someone comes to sell sweet potatoes, you can handle them in time to avoid a backlog and being too busy to handle them. "

Mrs. Li responded readily, "Okay, ma'am, don't worry, we'll just wait here and we won't go there."

"Well, just take a rest when no one is around. Everyone has been busy these past few days, you must be exhausted!"

Mrs. Li waved her hands and said, "No, we are not tired. We are really not tired.

This is just the beginning. Compared to the past, the work now is so much easier, not as tiring as farming.”

Of course, the "before" that Mrs. Li refers to was at the previous owner's house, not in the mountains.

"Well, as long as you're not tired, if you are tired, just take a rest. Health is the most important thing."

"Okay, ma'am, don't worry, we got it."

Xu Han and Mrs. Li chatted about other things for a while when there was a knock on the back door.

Xu Han thought it was someone who came to deliver sweet potatoes, so she stood up and walked over.

Liu Erzhu, who was nearby, opened the back door, and Xu Han happened to see the person standing outside the door.

He immediately stepped forward and greeted, "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Shopkeeper Liu. Come in quickly."

When Lu Chuan heard the voice, he also came out. After not seeing each other for a long time, everyone exchanged greetings again.

"Hahaha, Mr. Lu, Madam Lu, long time no see. I'm here to give you a small wine jar today. Do you think it's okay? These are all made according to the samples sent before. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, please tell me and I'll make changes when I get back."

After Manager Liu finished speaking, he lifted the oilcloth on the ox cart. Xu Han and Lu Chuan did not hesitate to stand around and really stood around to look at it.

Xu Han said with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. It's exactly the same as what was delivered before. Manager Liu, please arrange for someone to unload the truck. It's just right for us to go in and settle the previous money."

"Okay, I'll listen to Madam Lu."

Shopkeeper Liu was naturally happy to be able to get the money. Who doesn't want to settle the payment as soon as possible when doing business? After all, he still had a lot of things to do that required money, so it would definitely be better to have more money on hand.

Xu Han did not let Manager Liu enter the house either, as the house was filled with jars for making wine, making it inconvenient to enter.

Shopkeeper Liu was also a careful person, and he stood in the yard very tactfully.

On the table that had just been prepared for collecting sweet potatoes, Xu Han, Lu Chuan, Manager Liu, and Juxiang together calculated the money that needed to be settled recently.

Juxiang had gone over these accounts before, and she calculated them again in front of Manager Liu, adding today's goods.

Juxiang said, "The total amount of the recent payments plus this one is 17 taels and 3 qian. Manager Liu, please check the account to see if it is correct? If it is, I will give you the money."

Shopkeeper Liu and Juxiang had met several times before, and he said familiarly, "Miss Juxiang's calculation is correct, of course it is correct."

Upon hearing this, Juxiang said nothing more. She took out the silver and money that Xu Han had given her a long time ago and gave all the payment for the goods, both in small and large amounts, to Manager Liu on the spot.

After Manager Liu counted the silver and money, he put it away.

Seeing that they had finished the connection, Xu Han said, "I have a few more patterns for wine jars here. Shopkeeper Liu, please see if you can make them."

After Xu Han finished speaking, he took out the jar of fruit wine that he had drawn two days ago from his sleeve. Of course, it was not something that he had kept in his sleeve all the time, but something he had just taken out secretly from the space when no one was paying attention.

Shopkeeper Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect that he could get new business this time.

"Mrs. Lu, you are too polite. I will take a look at the picture first and then get back to you."

After that, Shopkeeper Liu took the drawing, looked at it carefully, and said after a while, "Just like before, I will make a few samples according to the drawing for you to see."

It was neither said to be successful nor impossible. After hearing what Manager Liu said, Lu Chuan knew that there was a high probability that it would succeed. After all, they had cooperated several times and knew each other well.

When Xu Han saw Lu Chuan nodding slightly, she felt relieved. This fruit wine jar was not difficult to make. It just had some extra patterns and it could usually be made.

Xu Han smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have to trouble Shopkeeper Liu then."

Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand and said, "Mrs. Lu, you are too polite. I have a batch of small jars at home. I will send them to you later."

Lu Chuan said, "When you send it off later, please ask Manager Liu to send it to our wine shop. I will show you the way and I will wait for you there in the afternoon."

Manager Liu was not surprised when he heard Lu Chuan talking about the wine shop. After all, with so many wine jars ordered, wasn't it normal to open a wine shop?

The small wine jars are generally not used here, and they just take up space. It would be better to send them directly to the wine shop, where they can be packaged directly.

Manager Liu stood up and said, "Okay, that's settled. You go ahead and get busy.

When I came here, I met a lot of people carrying sweet potatoes and walking towards the county town. I thought they were coming to your house to sell sweet potatoes.

I think people will be here soon, so I won’t bother you anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Han and Juxiang looked at each other, both smiled slightly, and said goodbye to Manager Liu.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, many people selling sweet potatoes came one after another.

The shop, which had been deserted for a few days, became bustling again, and it looked almost as busy as before.

For a moment, everyone in the shop was busy again. Although they were very busy, there was always a smile on everyone's face.

Xu Han also joined the battle and harvested sweet potatoes with everyone. At the end of the day, the results lived up to everyone's expectations and they harvested more than 7,000 kilograms in one day.
