Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 563: The Worrying Han 7

The more she thought about it, the more she thought about it. Before she knew it, the sun outside had already set. By the time she realized what was happening, she hurried downstairs.

As Xu Han just walked downstairs, she saw Lu Chuan coming towards her.

Lu Chuan paused when he saw Xu Han. “So you’re here. I thought you went back to your house!”

Xu Han said as she walked into the yard, "She hasn't returned yet. The shop over there isn't busy in the afternoon, so I came over here to see how the plan is going."

Then he turned around and asked, "By the way, why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to the nearby village?"

"Well, because they all choose to wash and then send it here to sell, Han Qi and I have already run around all the nearby villages today, so we came back a little early.

I thought it would be okay to come back empty-handed, so I went to the farm I visited first that morning. They had already washed the sweet potatoes, so I brought them back to save them the trouble of carrying them back tomorrow."

Xu Han raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "No one is making a fuss? If you go and get them back today and ask them to pick them up and sell them tomorrow, will you give them the same price?"

Lu Chuan laughed out loud after hearing this. "You really think I'm stupid as the boss! Of course the price is different. I gave ten cents less. Otherwise, those people would not be willing to do it."

Hearing this, Xu Han changed the subject and asked, "Where's Han Qi? Why haven't I seen him come back?"

Lu Chuan shook his head. "He should still be behind. We separated in the afternoon, and he was driving a bullock cart, so he must be slower than me. But he should be here soon. The sun is about to set. If he doesn't come back soon, the city gates will be closed."

When Xu Han heard him say this, she was very curious about how many villages they had visited today, so she asked.

"Not many, only about eight or nine. But when I left, I told them that if they have relatives or something, they can notify them to come over and sell them. We will take whatever we can."

In ancient times, villages were relatively far apart, so for two people to visit eight or nine villages a day was indeed a lot.

It would be inconvenient to deliver sweet potatoes to places that are farther away.

The main reason was that the sweet potatoes were too heavy, and they didn’t have ox carts or anything like that, so one person couldn’t carry much at a time.

Xu Han frowned slightly and said, "These eight or nine villages can harvest a lot of sweet potatoes. I'm a little worried whether we can eat them all.

This restaurant looks quite big, but there isn’t much space that can actually be used. It’s not convenient to put things upstairs.”

The sweet potatoes of this season have just been harvested not long ago, and every household has a lot of them. If they were all sold, this place would not be able to accommodate all the sweet potatoes of eight or nine villages combined.

"If there's no room, we can put it over at the house. There's plenty of space there. If that doesn't work, don't we still have several shops? We can put it there temporarily then."

"It can only be the."

Xu Han roughly estimated that a lot of sweet potatoes must have been harvested this time. Although sweet potatoes can fill the stomach, eating too much will cause heartburn and stomach acid. Now that there is a chance to sell them for money, most of them will probably choose to sell the sweet potatoes and use the money to buy a grain truck.

Whole grains are much more delicious than sweet potatoes, and after being converted into money, you should be able to save some money if you eat them sparingly.

After the servants unloaded the sweet potatoes, the two returned to the house together.

After dinner, Xu Han called Li Wen and Juxiang over and said, "The master and Han Qi have notified all the nearby villages today. Li Wen, you don't need to harvest sweet potatoes tomorrow.

You should continue to stay in the mountain goods shop tomorrow morning, and go to the big shop to help harvest sweet potatoes in the afternoon when it is not busy.

Juxiang, come with me to the big shop. Someone will deliver sweet potatoes to you tomorrow morning.

Let’s go together and watch the sweet potatoes being harvested and the money being collected.”

Li Wen responded, "Yes, Madam. Han Qi told me when he came back just now. After that, he went back to the mountain and said he would bring people here early tomorrow morning."

"Back to the mountains? It will probably be dark when he comes back. If he goes back to the mountains at this time, he will have to walk at night."

Xu Han really didn't know that Han Qi had returned to the mountains. If she knew, she would have stopped him no matter what. Traveling in the dark is the most dangerous thing, let alone traveling on a mountain road.

She turned her head and glared at Lu Chuan, thinking that he had instructed her to do so.

Lu Chuan looked at the look in his wife's eyes and quickly waved his hands to deny, "I don't know either. I didn't ask him to go back."

Then he sighed again, "He's really trying too hard. He's relying on his skills to travel in the dark. He's really brave. Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson when he comes back."

Xu Han looked at Lu Chuan's expression and was sure that he really didn't know about this. "Don't lecture him, just talk to him properly tomorrow.

After all, he was working for us. I guess he must have thought of advancing the plan to harvest sweet potatoes, and was afraid that we would be too busy tomorrow, so he went back to the mountains to call for help overnight.

He is doing this for our own good. He is really working too hard.

It's fine if nothing happens, but if something does happen, I'll beat him up tomorrow or not."

The more Xu Han spoke, the angrier she became. This man always did things without regard for his own life. Ever since he was bought back, the longer he stayed with Lu Chuan, the harder he worked.

I don’t know what kind of magic potion Lu Chuan gave him to make him work so hard.

The last time I heard from the Taoist priest, Han Qi did the same when he was hunting. He took risks many times just to hunt more game.

Not only that, but also when doing farm work, I always have the motivation to work hard as long as I don’t die of exhaustion.

Don’t think about it, don’t think about it. The more Xu Han thought about it, the more anxious she became. She must talk to him carefully tomorrow. If he continues like this, something bad will happen sooner or later.

Even if you don't encounter wild animals, you will be exhausted. How can you bear to do this every day at such a young age? You will be sick all over when you are old.

Seeing that Xu Han was really worried, Lu Chuan quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, that kid is very skilled! He will be fine. I'll help you beat him up when he comes tomorrow."

Seeing that Juxiang and Li Wen were still there, Xu Han didn't know what to say. She talked about today's revenue and the situation in the shop, then waved her hand and asked them to go back and rest.

After the two left, Xu Han glared at Lu Chuan again, "Han Qi follows you every day, and you don't even bother to persuade him to change his temper."

Lu Chuan touched his nose and wanted to say that he couldn't control him.

That night, Xu Han didn't sleep well because she was worried about Han Qi having to travel back to the mountains at night.

On the other hand, looking at Lu Chuan who was fast asleep beside him, he thought to himself that this man was really carefree and not worried at all.

Regardless of Lu Chuan's peace of mind, the main reason was that Xu Han had never seen Han Qi's skills in person. Although she had heard Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest praise his skills many times, she had never seen it herself. That was why she was worried and couldn't sleep well.

The next day, when Xu Han appeared in front of Lu Chuan with a haggard face, Lu Chuan felt heartbroken.
