Before they knew it, the sun was setting. In the distance, Lu Chuan and Han Qi were laden with prey. Lu Chuan grinned at her, as if waiting for her praise.

Xu Han readily agreed, "Wow, you guys are so lucky today! You've caught so much game in just one day. Looks like we're in for a treat tonight."

Lu Chuan walked closer and turned around. "Look, there's more in the basket!"

Xu Han stood on tiptoe and looked at the basket. "What a tiny nest of rabbits! How did you catch them?"

"Hehehe, madam, I caught these. There were no mother rabbits in the rabbit hole, only these little ones, and they don't know how to find food yet. They probably wouldn't survive if left in the mountains, so I brought them back."

Seeing Han Qi like this, Xu Han laughed and said, "Yes, yes, we can give it to Ze'er to raise. It'll keep him company and help him pass the time."

Han Qi scratched his head sheepishly, "That's what I was thinking too. The young master told me a few days ago that he wanted to raise rabbits, so I thought I'd bring them back for him."

Xu Han took the little rabbit, and Lu Chuan and Han Qi went to deliver the game they had hunted to the valley.

There are houses on the other side of the valley now, and all the poultry, livestock, and game we hunt are sent there.

Xu Han is very clean. In the past, there was no other way but to keep her at home. Now that she can be given away, she will definitely give her away.

However, Black Wind, Black Spot, and Edamame and Peanut still stayed at home as usual.

Although Xu Han is a clean person, she can't bear to part with them. Over the years, she has long regarded them as part of the family, so she naturally can't bear to part with them.

Fortunately, they are very obedient and sensible, and do not urinate or defecate indiscriminately.

Yunhua and the Taoist priest returned a little late, and it was completely dark when they got home, but their harvest was still quite plentiful.

After a few more busy days, it was already the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

The mountain produce shops and taverns had been closed for a few days, and it was time for them to reopen.

The temporary workshop has been shut down for a long time, but it's about to reopen.

To make it in time for the opening on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole group left yesterday morning.

After they left, the mountains became much quieter, and Xu Han was still a little unaccustomed to it.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Erzhu first went to the villages near the county town to inform them that the sweet potato harvest would begin the next day.

The rest of the people were busy cleaning the shop and preparing for the reopening on the eighth day of the lunar new year.

The mountain produce shops and taverns remained the same as before, everything was as usual.

The canned fruit sold out before the Lunar New Year, and there's none left this year. If you want to eat it again, you'll have to wait until next year.

The sweet potato wine workshop's wine will be temporarily stored in the large shop. It will be moved to a new location after the workshop outside the city is completed.

After all, building a workshop takes time, and a large workshop cannot be completed in a day or two.

During this period, it was impossible to stop working indefinitely, since she could earn a lot of money every day, and Xu Han was reluctant to stop working.

This means we can only continue operating in the larger shop. Fortunately, we cleared out most of the inventory before the Lunar New Year, and there's still plenty of space available.

Since the location of the land granted as a reward was determined, the sweet potato residue used for brewing wine has not been transported to the mountains anymore; it has been dumped directly on the ground as compost.

It has to be said that not transporting it up the mountain is much more convenient, saving a lot of time in the round trip.

Both the shops and workshops had settled down and Xu Han no longer needed to keep an eye on things, so Lu Chuan and Xu Han simply didn't go to the county town with them.

Li Wen and Ju Xiang had Han Qi relay all the information and results back to them every day.

Now that things have stabilized, Xu Han can't keep an eye on things forever. She needs to let them solve things themselves as much as possible, and only step in when they encounter problems they can't handle.

Although Xu Han loves money, she doesn't want to exhaust herself every day.

Many things can be delegated to subordinates, so let them do it. Isn't all the money I've earned just for this day?

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, all the shops selling mountain products, taverns, and temporary workshops started work as scheduled.

Early in the morning, both shops were packed with people, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

Especially those who have tasted sweet potato wine at taverns and shops, can't forget the flavor. So when they heard that a tavern was opening, they rushed over immediately.

Fortunately, we rushed to make a lot of sweet potato wine before the Lunar New Year, otherwise we really wouldn't have enough to sell.

Even so, Li Wen was still very worried, mainly because there were just too many people coming to buy sweet potato wine today, the first day of work.

The amount sold in one day was nearly two thousand kilograms, which truly shocked everyone.

After hearing what Li Wen said, Ju Xiang instantly felt immense pressure. She was very anxious about what to do if she couldn't get the work done.

It's so frustrating to see such good profits, but we don't have any stock.

When Han Qi told Xu Han about this, Xu Han smiled slightly and immediately wrote a letter to Ju Xiang, telling her not to feel any pressure and to just do what she was supposed to do.

There's nothing she can do; the place is too small right now, so even if she wanted to produce more, there's nowhere to put it. She can only wait.

Meanwhile, things are going well for Li Wen. The bricks and tiles have already been pre-ordered, but there isn't enough stock to build the house yet, so they have to wait.

It's not just the bricks and tiles that are the problem; the weather is still too cold, and it freezes at night. Given the current weather, we can't build a house now; we can only wait until spring.

So there's no use in being anxious. The only thing we can do now is to prepare the raw materials for building the house.

Although the matter of building the workshop cannot be resolved for the time being, Li Wen has already taken action on the matter of the tenancy land at the foot of the mountain within just a few days, and the progress is quite good.

And so, Xu Han kept an eye on things happening in the county while also spending time with her child at home.

While continuing to plan for the future, Xu Han, having nothing better to do, wrote her plans in increasing detail. Li Wen and Ju Xiang felt much more relaxed after receiving their assignments.

Just follow Xu Han's plan directly; you don't even need to think.

During this time, Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun also stayed in the mountains.

Yunhua originally planned to return after a month, but now that she has learned that Zhao Yunyun is getting married, she simply decided not to leave and will wait until after January to go to Nancheng with everyone to attend Zhao Yunyun's wedding.

That's right. After the second day of the second lunar month, the whole family planned to set off together for Nancheng to attend Zhao Yunyun's wedding.

The whole family went together, leaving no one behind.

Go early, and you can take advantage of the good weather to enjoy the scenery and have a good time.

Going early means you don't have to rush on the way, which is less strenuous and more relaxing.

Of course, the group wasn't bored during their time in the mountains; they were always making a lot of noise and creating a lively atmosphere.
