It must be said that the Taoist priest was truly generous, giving away five thousand taels of silver in one go.
Such a large sum of money definitely wasn't for the two of them.
With the funds given by the Taoist priest, the things we buy certainly can't be cheap! We pick the best of everything, money is no object at all.
Xu Han's space now contains over 50,000 jin of food, which is far more than enough for four people and their dogs.
With so much food, and with the two of them having more than enough to eat, there was even more to spare.
And this doesn't even include the sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and soybeans in the household.
If you add these grains, it will only be more. A person can't eat only grains in a day; they will definitely also need other things like vegetables and fruits.
After settling the score, Xu Han straightened her back. Back at the inn, it was already quite late. After a quick wash, the two went to rest.
The next morning, Lu Chuan and Xu Han went to the money exchange and exchanged the silver notes the Taoist priest had given them a few days earlier for gold.
Xu Han still felt that gold and silver were the most practical things in this chaotic world. So she simply exchanged all her silver notes for gold and silver.
After storing everything in their space, they went to a general store to buy some more things, and then the two of them started preparing to go home.
Neither of them plans to go down the mountain recently, especially Xu Han, who has no intention of going down the mountain at all. After her previous experience, Xu Han is now acting more cautiously.
Xu Han didn't want to experience something so exciting again. This time she was lucky to have met allies, but she might not be so fortunate next time.
When the two returned home, it was still early. As soon as they opened the gate, the dogs immediately surrounded them.
We've been away from home for quite a while this time, and the dogs are starving.
Xu Han didn't have time to open the door to the main room. She immediately took out the food she had prepared earlier from her spatial storage and fed it to the dogs.
I haven't been home for the past few days, and the food I left for them has all been eaten. They're wolfing it down; they must have been starving.
Xu Han fed the dogs in the front yard, while Lu Chuan went straight to the back yard to feed the livestock. The two had a clear division of labor and cleaned the house in no time.
In the evening, Xu Han boiled water for the two of them, preparing them to take a nice hot bath later to relieve the fatigue of the past few days.
These past few days have been incredibly exciting! I took a short trip and experienced some truly thrilling things along the way.
It will definitely take a few days to recover. Don't rush the project in the next few days, mainly because I'm afraid my body won't be able to handle it and I'll get sick.
After taking a bath, the two sat at the kang table to eat while discussing their next plans.
“Now that we’ve confirmed we won’t be fleeing the famine, let’s take advantage of the drought before it gets too severe and plant everything we need to!” Lu Chuan said.
“Okay, we still have plenty of time, and the space has expanded, so we won’t have to worry about food. Let’s prepare more fresh vegetables and meat!” Xu Han agreed.
"Hmm! After I finished the reservoir, I started tilling the land. I wasn't planning on planting anything, but since I have time now, I'll plant some drought-resistant plants!"
"We can also plant some corn and beans. The earlier we plant them, the earlier we can harvest them, so it won't be a problem. It's just that watering them later will probably be a bit of a hassle," Xu Han said.
"It's alright, I won't go hunting so far away then, I'll focus on staying home."
“That works too. If we want to go hunting, we can go to the mountains together for a few days. That will save us time.”
“Then I’ll start drawing water tomorrow so I can till the land,” Lu Chuan said.
"Should we rest for a few more days? This trip to the prefectural city was quite tiring," Xu Han asked.
"It's alright, drawing water won't be a big deal."
"Okay then! I'll go with you tomorrow."
After they made their decision, they went to rest. As they slept, Lu Chuan held Xu Han tightly and said, "Wife, no matter what happens, I will do everything in my power to protect you."
The room temperature rose rapidly, and a warm night ensued...
Xu Han also sensed Lu Chuan's fear. Lu Chuan still felt that he was too weak. When faced with a powerful enemy, he didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Since returning from the prefectural city, Lu Chuan has been training himself relentlessly every day. Xu Han saw this but didn't say much, so she could only cook more delicious food for Lu Chuan to nourish him.
Of course, that's a story for another time...
The next morning, both of them overslept. They felt more at ease sleeping at home because it was a familiar place and they had their trusted dogs. They relaxed and easily overslept.
The two got up one after the other, and Xu Han took out breakfast directly from her space: a steamed bun, a bowl of soy milk and an egg for each of them.
Fearing that Lu Chuan might not have enough to eat, Xu Han brought out a few more steamed buns.
They also prepared some soy milk and multigrain biscuits for the dogs.
After breakfast, Xu Han and Lu Chuan went to the backyard, fed the livestock together, and then started preparing to draw water.
There was already a bamboo water pipe in the backyard, and the water that was brought in flowed directly into the water tank. The overflowing water was discharged outside through the drain next to it.
So it's especially convenient to draw water from the backyard today; all you need to do is connect it with bamboo and lead it to the reservoir.
Moreover, the reservoir was dug right next to this side for convenience, so it was very close by.
Lu Chuan went to the front yard and got two bamboo poles, split them in half, connected them, and then fixed them directly next to the water tank.
After setting up the bamboo frame, the two of them looked at the water pipe that was flowing normally and left it alone to let the water flow on its own while they went to draw water from outside.
After locking the gate, Lu Chuan and Xu Han took the dogs to the waterfall behind their house.
The reservoir here is much bigger and deeper than the one at home, so it can hold a lot of water!
They had originally planned to dig a deep well at home, but neither Lu Chuan nor Xu Han knew how, and they didn't want anyone else to find the place, so they had to give up on the idea.
Lu Chuan and Xu Han each took a shovel and began digging a ditch to divert the water flowing down from the nearby waterfall into the reservoir.
After all the excavation was completed, the area near the reservoir and the waterfall were connected, allowing the water to flow directly into the reservoir.
It's lunchtime now, but Lu Chuan and Xu Han got up late and had breakfast late, so they're not hungry yet!
So Lu Chuan and Xu Han went to the woods and brought over the large trees they had cut down earlier.
The tree has been split in half by Lu Chuan, so it won't be round and won't be easy to slip away.
At the same time, it is very thick and heavy, and ordinary small animals cannot destroy it.
