Then he continued, "Are there people keeping watch over there?"
Zhu Chunfeng said, "He stayed. Han Qi is still not back."
"Okay, that's enough to leave people here. Let's start loading the truck."
Lu Chuan also went along this trip. With the goods that were just transported, it should be enough to fill a boat. The main thing is that there are dozens of people, and each person can carry just as much as they need.
When it was time for breakfast, everyone ate together and then continued loading the truck.
It took everyone a whole morning to finally move everything that needed to be transported. Of course, this didn't include canned fruit and fruit wine.
The shop over there isn't ready yet, so we don't need these things for the time being. Once Xu Han and Lu Chuan get over there and sort out the mountain goods shop, we can start working on the other shop.
Before leaving, Xu Han also took Liu Sanzhu, Zhu Chuntian, Li Feng, and Juxiang with her.
Let's take these people to the shop to help out for now. In addition, Li Wen is there, and Xu Han and Lu Chuan are also there. With seven people, we can manage to keep the shop busy.
Fortunately, this era was not too harsh on women, and some women were able to work and earn money. Otherwise, Xu Han would not have dared to bring Juxiang along. As an unmarried woman, she would probably have been bombarded with gossip.
With a precedent set, there was nothing to fear. Everyone grabbed their pre-packed bags and followed Xu Han toward the small dock.
When the two children saw that their mother was about to leave, they insisted on going to the small dock to see Xu Han off. Grandpa Zhao couldn't persuade them otherwise, so he took them with him.
Xu Han, who was on this side of the valley, was surprised to see the two children coming over. "Why are you two here? Aren't you in class?"
Mu'er was the first to answer, "Mother, we've come to see you off."
Xu Han glanced at Grandpa Zhao, and seeing him nod slightly, she smiled and said, "Okay, everyone's here, let's go."
Accompanying them were other people who had gone there to deliver goods; the group walked slowly toward the small dock.
As they walked and chatted, Xu Han didn't forget to instruct Dan Niang on how to make pickled vegetables, giving her detailed instructions.
"If there's anything you're unsure about, ask someone for advice. You absolutely can't try to figure it out on your own. Making pickled vegetables is a delicate process; they can easily spoil if you're not careful."
Previously, when Danniang was at her former master's house, she had only cooked meals and had hardly ever made pickled vegetables or anything like that, so she was a little worried that Danniang might waste so many vegetables if she wasn't careful.
Dan Niang replied with a smile, without the slightest impatience, "Yes, Madam. I've remembered everything you said. I'll definitely keep that in mind when making pickled vegetables."
As they talked, they arrived at the dock. Xu Han saw Lu Chuan returning and knew that he had come to pick her up, so she didn't say anything.
Lu Chuan disembarked and took the bundle from Xu Han's back. The others began loading cargo once the boat stopped.
After about ten minutes, the cargo was finally loaded. Xu Han hugged the two children and said, "You two must listen to Grandpa Zhao at home and not fall behind in your studies, because I will be checking them later."
Ze'er, despite his young age, said with great confidence, "Don't worry, Mother, I will definitely take good care of my brother."
Mu'er, standing to the side, looked disdainful and retorted directly, "You should mind your own business!"
Seeing that the two children were about to quarrel again, Xu Han quickly said, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy it for you next time you come back."
Sure enough, as soon as they heard there was food, their attention was immediately diverted. "I want to eat mung bean cake."
"I want to eat roast chicken."
"Alright, alright, Mommy will buy it for you. Let's go back with Grandpa Zhao now."
Neither of them left until Xu Han boarded the boat and sailed away before they went back.
While Xu Han was saying goodbye to the two children, Lu Chuan was also instructing the servants, "Just do what the Taoist priest tells you to do during this time."
If you have any problems, just go directly to the Taoist priest, and he will help you solve them.
Actually, Lu Chuan didn't need to say these things; they already knew they had to listen to the Taoist priest's arrangements, because the Taoist priest often assigned them tasks on a daily basis.
Grandpa Zhao doesn't concern himself with these trivial matters; he usually focuses on his medical writings in his spare time.
After arranging everything, the group boarded the ship. Because they were transporting quite a lot of goods, the ship was a bit crowded.
Xu Han sat down next to Lu Chuan. The boat was quiet until they arrived at their destination, at which point everyone became more lively.
Li Wen, who came with the oxcart, quickly bowed to Xu Han and Lu Chuan upon seeing them.
Xu Han waved her hand without saying anything. Now was not the time to talk. She should focus on getting the things to the shop first, and they could talk about it later that evening.
Once inside the shop, Xu Han looked at the mess in the backyard, rubbed her forehead, and thought to herself, "Another huge project."
He immediately instructed, "Juxiang, go check the inventory. The rest of you, start arranging the cabinets according to my instructions."
Because the layout of the shop was based on Xu Hanhua's design, it was crystal clear where each cabinet was placed.
She quickly directed everyone, and in no time all the cabinets were arranged.
Because some cabinets are not yet finished, some areas will have to remain empty for the time being.
Xu Han said, "Go get a rag and clean the cabinet first, then bring in all the inventoryed goods."
It's getting late. Let's head back after we've moved everything. We can finish the rest tomorrow.
After receiving their orders, the young men immediately got to work, while Xu Han went to the backyard.
Ask Juxiang, "How is it? Have you figured it out?"
"Reporting to Madam, everything has been counted and is exactly the same as on the list, with no discrepancies."
Xu Han took the form Ju Xiang handed her, looked at it, and nodded. "Hmm, well done. You're very meticulous."
Juxiang beamed with joy upon hearing the praise, "Thank you for the compliment, Madam. I will continue to work hard."
Xu Han said, "From now on, you will work for me. After a while, I will call Qi Yu and the others over as well, and you will mentor them."
Juxiang was even happier to receive the new order and quickly promised that she would do a good job and live up to her expectations.
Xu Han smiled but didn't say anything, waving her hand to let her go about her business.
Juxiang also very perceptively helped move things.
The group didn't return to their house until sunset.
Xu Han looked at the house, now sparkling clean, and nodded in satisfaction.
There were a few old women and Li Wen's father there, and by the time Xu Han and the others arrived home, the meal was already prepared.
Granny Zhao asked, "Does Madam wish to serve a meal?"
"Let's set the table!"
Xu Han and Lu Chuan washed their hands and began to eat.
The two of them were eating in a large side hall, which felt particularly deserted.
Xu Han didn't like servants attending to her, so she became even quieter.
