After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he pulled Xu Han to leave. Xu Han paused slightly, turned around and said to the people working in the yard, "It's getting late, and it's quite cold right now. You don't need to work anymore. If you can't finish, put it inside and go back to rest. You can come back to work early tomorrow morning."

Sister-in-law Li said, "Madam, we're not cold. There's a fire burning in the stove right now, it's warm and cozy, not cold at all."

Although they were washing sweet potatoes, the well water they were using was warm and not cold to the touch. With so many stoves around them and the constant work, they didn't feel cold at all. Some people even took off their cotton-padded coats to make it easier to work.

Those who hadn't taken off their cotton-padded coats had beads of sweat on their foreheads, which were particularly noticeable in the firelight.

Seeing this, Xu Han didn't try to persuade them. "Alright then, but hurry back after you've finished dealing with things in the yard."

"I can do it tomorrow if I want; if I'm too tired today, I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

After saying that, she turned to leave, but then remembered something and added, "Oh, right, I asked Chef Wei to prepare some sweet egg soup for you. Remember to eat it as a late-night snack when you get back."

Each person gets two eggs, and can drink as much sugar water as they want. Hot water is also kept warm in the pot.

When you go back, don't forget to check the kitchen.

The people who were working enthusiastically became even more energetic after hearing Xu Han's words, and laughed even more happily. However, they did not forget to say to Xu Han, "Madam has gone to so much trouble, so we won't stand on ceremony."

"Thank you, Madam. Don't worry, we certainly won't forget. You and Master should go back and rest early."

And so, the couple turned and went back, thanking each other profusely.

Granny Li even wanted to go back with her to help the master and mistress with their washing up, but Xu Han refused.

When they arrived home, Wei Yan and his wife were still awake and preparing their late-night snack in the kitchen.

Lu Chuan didn't ask them for help. He carried the hot water for washing up himself, and after the two of them finished washing up, they went straight to sleep.

Before going to sleep, Xu Han nestled in Lu Chuan's arms and didn't forget to ask him if he had beaten up Han Qi.

Lu Chuan rubbed his forehead and smiled indulgently, "I beat him up, I beat him up badly, I guarantee it will work."

Xu Han chuckled, "You should also talk to him properly, and tell him that if it happens again, you shouldn't want him anymore."

Listening to her words, Lu Chuan thought to himself that his wife really knew what Han Qi's weakness was.

Whether I beat him up or talked to him nicely about it, it probably wouldn't be as effective as Xu Han saying those words.

"Or you could tell him that your words are more impactful than mine, and that my words are useless."

Han Qi and Lu Chuan have become close. If Lu Chuan said something, Han Qi might just laugh it off. But if Xu Han said it, Han Qi would definitely break out in a cold sweat.

Xu Han rolled her eyes at him, turned over and moved away from him. "I won't say anything. You're the one who should be in charge of your people. Go to sleep."

Without waiting for Lu Chuan to say anything more, she wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Chuan chuckled, reached out and hugged his wife who had fallen asleep instantly, then adjusted his own position to prepare for sleep.

The next day, when Xu Han woke up, the sun had already risen. After getting dressed and getting out of bed, she realized that there was no one in the yard and that she had overslept.

Just as I was about to turn around and go to the kitchen, Guo Daya came over with a bowl of hot water.

"Madam, you're awake. Master said you were tired and wanted you to sleep a little longer, so I didn't wake you."

Xu Han countered, "Where is the master?"

"Master went to the main shop. Before he left, he told me to tell you not to rush, but to have breakfast first and then go there slowly. He's keeping an eye on the shop!"

Xu Han nodded slightly. "Okay, let's set the table!"

After having breakfast, Xu Han strolled to the shop by herself. When she passed the large sweet potato shop, she saw that there weren't many people inside, so she continued walking and went to check out the mountain produce shop first.

I spent the whole day here yesterday and didn't even go to check on the local produce shop. It just opened, so I can't just abandon it now.

When she arrived at the mountain produce shop, it was bustling with activity. Everyone greeted her briefly before returning to their busy work.

Xu Han didn't mind. She inspected the area herself and found that the goods were arranged well and the place was very clean. Then she turned around and went to the warehouse.

The warehouse is running low on stock; it looks like we'll have to go to the mountains to get more goods.

Although the shop was crowded, it was relatively orderly. Xu Han stayed in the mountain goods shop for a while before getting up to leave.

Before leaving, he reminded Li Wen, "I see there aren't many goods left in the warehouse. Remember to organize the items that need to be restocked later, and have Han Qi go back to prepare the goods this afternoon."

I think the sprouts I posted a while ago are ready to sell. I'll have Han Qi bring them over tomorrow.

You can also promote this in the shop today, tell the customers that we'll be getting fresh bean sprouts tomorrow, and the price is one coin per pound.

He then added, "The activity board we made last time can still be used. You just need to change the content."

This way, other people will see the signs we display and know that we have new products.

"Alright, madam, I'll do it as soon as I'm done with this."

"Okay, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll go take a look over there first."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she turned around and walked away, strolling leisurely all the way to the large shop.

In just a short while, the sweet potato wine workshop was surrounded by people, many of whom blocked the road to the back door, making it impossible for Xu Han to get in.

Helpless, she could only go around to the front and find someone to open the door.

Fortunately, everyone could recognize her voice, and after she knocked on the door for a while, someone came to open it for her.

Xu Han smiled and said to the person who came, "There are just too many people today. The back door is blocked. I tried to squeeze in for ages but couldn't."

By the way, how did everyone who delivered the sweet potatoes get out? They're all crowding around the back door, which is no good! They're blocking other people's way.

As she asked questions, she walked inside. The person who opened the door explained, "There are so many people in the courtyard that it's so crowded you can't even stand up."

Xu Han frowned slightly. "Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and get busy."

After saying that, he went to find Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan was so busy that he barely had time to breathe. After hearing Xu Han's words, he asked, "So many people? I really didn't know. Don't worry, I'll have Han Qi go and check."

"Okay, go ahead and make them line up one by one. The more crowded it is, the slower it will be."

"Okay, I understand. Han Qi and I will go maintain order. You keep an eye on things here."

Xu Han took the slip of paper from Lu Chuan and began weighing and calculating the bill.

A short while later, Lu Chuan also arrived and joined in calculating the bill and weighing the items.

Now that there are three people keeping track of the accounting and weighing, the speed has increased dramatically.
