Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 561: A sharp drop in traffic

Lu Chuan nodded, not quite understanding, "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

Xu Han picked up the account book beside her and knocked on Lu Chuan's head. "Idiot, what do you mean by 'seemingly'? It is exactly that."

After saying that, he ignored him, picked up the account book and left.

When he left, he did not forget to say to Lu Chuan, "Bring the money box over here."

Well, why didn't she hold it? It was too heavy. Most of it was copper coins. It was very heavy.

After hearing this, Lu Chuan quickly picked up the money box and followed Xu Han to the shop.

The two stayed in the shop until the sun set. Seeing that there were not many people in the shop, they went back to the house first.

Li Wen and Juxiang also went back with them. Xu Han had something to discuss with them when they got home.

As for the shop, the remaining people were enough. There were fewer people at night anyway, and the shop was not busy.

The shop has just opened for the past two days, so they all need to stay in the shop and can only go back home after it is completely dark. After a few days when the flow of people is not so large, only one or two people will be left in the shop. The others can come back first after the peak period.

After arriving home, dinner was not ready yet, so Xu Han called them to the study and began to arrange tomorrow's tasks.

"I have asked Han Qi to go back to prepare the goods this afternoon. Li Wen, you need to get up early tomorrow morning to pick up the goods.

When the time comes, you can ask someone to go with you in a bullock cart. Qi Yu and the others will also come. I guess a horse-drawn carriage with people in it won’t be able to hold much cargo.”

"Yes ma'am, I'll let Li Feng go with me tomorrow."

Xu Han turned around and gave Juxiang instructions, "After the goods arrive, Juxiang, you will be responsible for registering them into the warehouse.

Don't worry about checking the bills, I'll do it for now. This is a good opportunity for me to learn how to do the accounting."

Although Juxiang felt very strange about Xu Han's last arrangement, she didn't ask too many questions. She just had to do whatever the master said.

Of course Xu Han didn't dare let him check the bill. There were quite a few eggs in there that he had pasted from the space. Wouldn't everything be exposed if they checked the bill?

As for other useful stuff, Xu Han had already secretly stuffed it in when she was at home.

Anyway, they don’t know exactly how much is in the warehouse, so they just say how much is there.

The number of eggs is too large, otherwise this method can also be used.

Fortunately, through today's efforts, the number of eggs in the space has been reduced by one third.

Xu Han had been in charge of the eggs at home before. Now that Xu Han came to the county town, it was Grandpa Zhao who was looking after them. If the eggs in the space cannot be used up this time, the remaining eggs can be slowly added to the newly collected eggs later.

I add some in every time I deliver the goods, and it will be used up in no time.

After Xu Han arranged some other things for the two of them, she waved her hand and asked them to leave first.

Xu Han and Lu Chuan continued in the study, talking about harvesting sweet potatoes to make wine.

When we were in the mountains, we had already discussed with the Taoist priest and others where to make the sweet potato wine. The two of us discussed the details again and finally decided to make it directly in the county town for convenience.

It was in the largest and best shop. That shop had a good location and a large space. Most importantly, there was a well inside, which made it convenient to work.

If you make it in the mountains, although all the ingredients are ready, it is too troublesome to transport the sweet potatoes to the mountains, make them and then transport them down.

It would be better to let the people in the mountain come down and make the sweet potato wine before going back.

Anyway, the houses in the county town are big and can accommodate many people.

After finalizing all the details, Lu Chuan began to make arrangements.

In order to save time, Lu Chuan decided to take Han Qi to a nearby village to harvest sweet potatoes tomorrow.

He also quickly sent a message to the people in the mountains, asking them to send more people the day after tomorrow to help wash sweet potatoes and so on.

Xu Han definitely agreed with Lu Chuan's plan. Starting one day earlier means ending one day earlier. There is nothing wrong with that.

There were four fewer people at dinner today, and the table was a little deserted. The two were not used to it, even though they had just been apart for half a day. Xu Han said that she suddenly missed her two little boys.

Xu Han bit her chopsticks and frowned. "I was so busy this afternoon that I didn't feel lonely. Now that it's just the two of us eating, why do I feel so quiet?"

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I've been so busy today that I wish I could split myself into two people. Now that there are only two of us in the room, how can it not be lonely?"

"Too."

After saying this, the two of them stopped talking, finished their dinner quietly, and went to rest, preparing for the busy second day.

As expected, there were fewer people on the second day, but the flow of people was still large, and several people were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.

Many people who came to buy things yesterday also came today, but the things they bought were indeed much less than yesterday.

Today I mainly bought some vegetables for daily consumption, but I didn’t buy much dried goods.

Of course, there are also many people in this group who just learned about this shop and came here because of its reputation.

Yesterday, many people on the streets of the county town were discussing the newly opened Lu’s fresh mountain produce shop.

Everyone says that the things sold there are very complete. Not only are the vegetables we eat every day sold, but also meat. The most important thing is that the mountain products there are of very good quality, and there are also various pickled vegetables that have never been eaten.

The price is affordable and the quality is also very good. The most important thing is that you can buy all the ingredients you need for cooking in one shop, which is very convenient.

Because of the newly opened Lu’s fresh mountain products shop, business at the market was temporarily very bleak. The usually bustling market was now only populated by people in groups of two or three, and it no longer had the liveliness of the past.

Of course, Xu Han was not aware of these things. At this moment, she was busy stocking the shelves in the shop!

As he looked at the empty shelves one after another, the smile on his face never stopped.

At noon, Xu Han looked at the money box which was almost half empty than yesterday, and her face wrinkled into a bitter gourd.

He complained to Lu Chuan who was standing beside him, "I thought today there were a lot of people and the shelves were empty again and again, so today's business shouldn't be too bad. Look, the money box is almost half empty."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she pushed the money box forward so that Lu Chuan could see it more clearly.

Although the two had already prepared for the decrease in customer flow yesterday, they did not expect that there would be so many fewer people today.

Lu Chuan consoled them, "Maybe they haven't finished eating the vegetables they bought yesterday. Didn't Li Wen say that there aren't many people at the market today? That means they have a lot of stockpiled goods, so they don't need to buy vegetables for a while."
