Upon hearing this, Li Wen scratched his head sheepishly, "I misunderstood."
Xu Han smiled nonchalantly, "You're doing this for the good of the shop."
However, our shop mainly sells agricultural products and mountain goods, so don't expect to make a lot of money from it.
Xu Han's original purpose in opening this shop was not to make a lot of money, but mainly to sell some of her own products.
They produce a lot of local mountain goods and agricultural byproducts, but if they sell them to restaurants or wealthy households, they will not only be pressured to lower the price, but they also don't have a fixed buyer.
So after doing the math, I decided to just open my own shop and sell everything myself!
Anyway, the shop and the people are already there, so there's no need for a large investment.
When Lu Chuan heard this, he agreed, and the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao agreed even more.
And that's how this mountain produce shop came about.
Li Wen felt ashamed after hearing Xu Han's words and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Xu Han waved her hand and said nothing more. At noon, everyone went back to the house for lunch, and then came to the shop again in the afternoon.
Xu Han led Ju Xiang around the mountain produce shop to see what areas needed improvement and to fill in any gaps.
Lu Chuan then led his men to clean the shop in preparation for opening the tavern, and also to take measurements so that they would be ready for fighting.
A tavern doesn't need to be very big; two storefronts are enough.
The shop the two chose wasn't far from here, but its location was excellent; it was only a ten-minute walk away.
As soon as Li Wen got the shop's dimensions, he rushed off to pick up the cabinets. The time he had agreed upon with Liu Erzhu was fast approaching, so he had to hurry.
After Li Wen delivered the cabinet, Xu Han led a group of people to arrange the remaining goods.
I was busy until it got dark before I finally got everything organized.
She stood inside the shop, surveying its appearance before nodding in satisfaction after a long while.
"Great job, everyone. Thank you for your hard work today. There's only one day left until the opening. We'll open on time the day after tomorrow."
We don't have much time, so let's make the most of tomorrow's staff training to ensure a smooth opening.
After listening to Xu Han's words, everyone felt extremely excited and looked forward to the opening day.
"Alright, everyone, go home and get some rest today! Let's keep going tomorrow!"
Lu Chuan, Xu Han, Li Wen, and Ju Xiang returned to the house first, while the rest of them stayed behind to turn off the lights and close the door.
On the way, Xu Han didn't forget to ask Li Wen about other things at the shop, "Have you prepared everything needed for the opening?"
"Reporting to Madam, everything is ready. I went to get the plaques and other items this afternoon, and they are now piled up in the shop's storeroom."
Xu Han's eyes were full of praise as she said, "Hmm, not bad. Remember to check again tomorrow to see if there's anything you've missed. If you find it now, you can buy it in time. If you wait until that day, it will be too late."
"Yes, Madam, I will look at it again tomorrow."
Then he continued, "The staff on duty in the shop have all been assigned. There are a lot of goods piled up in the shop now, and someone needs to watch over them. Starting today, these few people will be responsible for guarding the shop."
Xu Han mentioned this matter yesterday, but she didn't expect Li Wen to be so quick and resolve it today.
"Are they getting enough to eat every day? Even though they live in the shop, they can't skimp on their meals. Health is the foundation of everything, so we can't neglect it."
Hearing that Xu Han cared so much about the servants, the two were even happier.
He thought to himself, "I really didn't make a mistake in choosing this master. What other master would care about his servants so much?"
In many people's eyes, the lives of servants are the least valuable, and they don't care at all, let alone whether they can eat well.
At the same time, they were also very fortunate to be able to follow such a good master, and secretly resolved to be more careful in their work in the future, so as not to make mistakes and be betrayed by their master.
Despite thinking this way, Li Wen replied to Xu Han, "Don't worry, Madam. Every day, the people who aren't on duty will bring breakfast to you when they go to work."
Everyone ate lunch together in the shop, with the food delivered by people from the house.
As for dinner, everyone went back to eat together, and then came back to take up their posts.
Xu Han thought about it for a moment and felt that this method was the most suitable at present.
The house isn't far from here, so food delivery is always on time. Even in winter, the food won't be too cold when it arrives.
But I still couldn't help but remind you, "Go buy another pot tomorrow and put it in the shop. In case the food isn't delivered on time, it can be reheated if it gets cold."
Especially in winter, you must not eat cold food, as it can easily cause diarrhea.
"Oh, Madam is so thoughtful. I remember, I'll take care of it first thing tomorrow morning."
The group walked and talked, and soon arrived home.
By the time I got home, it was completely dark. Fortunately, even though it's winter, the night market was still open, though it wasn't as crowded as in the summer. It was cold, and everyone was huddled at home warming themselves by the fire!
A few shops are scattered along the street, and the street is brightly lit, making it easy to walk home at night without feeling scared.
Xu Han and Lu Chuan ate the dinner prepared in the kitchen. Although the taste was so-so, it was still edible.
Lu Chuan rummaged through the food in his bowl, looking resentful, and said, "If we plan to come to the county town often in the future, I think it would be better to hire a cook."
Xu Han was surprised, not because she was the one who said it, but because Lu Chuan, who was usually indifferent to food and clothing. How could she not be surprised?
Seeing this, Xu Han teased, "What? It doesn't taste good?"
"No, it's just that I often eat your cooking, and I'm used to it. Dan Niang's cooking isn't exactly delicious, but it's edible."
It's really hard to get used to eating other people's cooking for two days in a row.
The thought of eating this kind of food for the next few days makes me feel nauseous.
These old women's cooking is bland and tasteless; it's really bland to eat. I still prefer salty and spicy food; that's much more satisfying.
Xu Han rarely saw such a childlike side on Lu Chuan's face, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Okay, okay, if you want to buy it, we'll go buy it tomorrow. It's not like we're short a little money anyway."
Xu Han was actually tired of the food, but because she was so tired every day when she came home, she naturally didn't feel like complaining about the taste of the food.
Now that Lu Chuan had brought it up, it suited her perfectly, so she naturally raised her hand in agreement.
The next morning, after having breakfast, the two went straight to the official market.
