He guessed that his wife must have been kept awake all night because of Han Qi, and he was determined to give him a good beating later.
After having this thought, Lu Chuan realized something was wrong and felt uneasy.
His wife was worried about another man. Although Han Qi was a servant and a few years younger than Xu Han, he was a man! A man!
What should I do? I'm even angrier now, I'm furious!
Meanwhile, Xu Han, unaware that her man was consumed by jealousy, asked him upon seeing him, "Is Han Qi back?"
When Lu Chuan heard his wife's first words to him today, which were about another man, he became even angrier.
He snorted and ignored her, walking straight outside.
Xu Han was puzzled by his reaction, thinking, "What's wrong with him? Did this man take the wrong medicine today? Or did he not hear me just now?"
Hmm, it must be the latter. No, why was he humming about himself just now?
I didn't do anything to him this morning!
If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. Men are creatures you shouldn't reason with; otherwise, you two might end up arguing about it later.
It's so early in the morning, and I still have so much to do today! Oh well, never mind him.
Xu Han washed up by herself, and then went to the dining room to have breakfast.
Lu Chuan was already waiting for him in the dining room, but he didn't say anything when Xu Han came over.
Xu Han couldn't ignore the resentment on his face, so she patiently smiled and leaned over to ask, "What's wrong today? Who made our master angry?"
Lu Chuan glanced at her, then reached out and ladled a bowl of porridge for Xu Han without saying a word.
Seeing that he was ignoring her, Xu Han began to reflect on whether she had offended him yesterday and this morning.
After thinking it over carefully, it seemed that I hadn't offended him in any way, but judging from Lu Chuan's reaction today, it didn't seem like nothing had happened.
After confirming that she hadn't offended Lu Chuan, she gradually lost patience with his series of reactions, and woke up to find him with a sour face.
Being given the cold shoulder first thing in the morning would annoy anyone, even if I tried to appease him.
Xu Han lost her temper and said directly, "Tell me what happened, don't force me to take action."
Lu Chuan noticed that she didn't look well and realized that he had gone too far.
He casually picked up another steamed bun for Xu Han and said, "Eat your food. You're not allowed to care about other men anymore."
Xu Han was taken aback, then realized what was wrong with this man so early in the morning, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She leaned closer with a cheeky grin and said, "Are you jealous?"
Lu Chuan's ear tips turned pink with embarrassment, and he nodded imperceptibly.
Seeing this, Xu Han laughed even louder, "Okay, okay, but next time you should just tell me directly. You have such a sour face first thing in the morning, it makes me angry."
The two chatted and laughed for a while longer, and after finishing breakfast, they reconciled and walked hand in hand towards the sweet potato shop.
When they arrived, several people were already waiting at the shop entrance, each carrying a shoulder pole filled with sweet potatoes. It was already time, so they must have come in the dark.
These days, it's not easy to make a living by exchanging money. As soon as everyone hears that someone is buying sweet potatoes at a high price, they all rush to sell theirs, afraid that if they go too late, the owner will have already bought enough and won't buy their sweet potatoes anymore.
However, since it was their first time there, they didn't dare to take any risks. If the owner didn't buy what they had picked out, it would be a complete waste of their time and effort.
So each of them carried a shoulder pole, and only a few households from each village came.
Juxiang and the others had already arrived at the shop and were preparing the tools they would need to harvest sweet potatoes. When they saw Lu Chuan and Xu Han coming over, they quickly went up to them and said, "These people have arrived quite early. We were thinking that since they live far away, it would probably take them a while to get here."
I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic. There were already three or four people waiting at the door before we even opened it, and a few more people came in a little while later.
Xu Han smiled and said, "It is quite early. Have you prepared everything? Let's put it away first. Han Qi and the others are far away, so it will probably take them a while to get here."
"Ready, let's begin." Juxiang shouted to the people outside, and they rushed in like a swarm of bees.
Lu Chuan shouted, "Everyone, don't rush, line up, we can sell them one by one."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately followed Lu Chuan's instructions and began to line up in an orderly manner.
Since there were no able-bodied men in the shop at the moment, Xu Han simply asked the people who came with her to help lift the sweet potatoes and weigh them.
Lu Chuan and Ju Xiang were responsible for keeping track of the weight and calculating the money. The calculated money was written on a small piece of paper, and they could take the paper to Xu Han to collect the money.
The paper strips were made of the most basic paper, and each one was cut into small pieces, so there was no waste.
To make taking notes easier, Juxiang and Luchuan used charcoal pencils, and they were very fast.
After weighing the sweet potatoes, the seller came to Xu Han with a slip of paper to collect his money. After settling the payment, Xu Han stamped the slip with her family's seal and then put it away for easy accounting later.
This way, the transactions are clear and it prevents people from taking advantage of the situation when things get busy, and from using a slip of paper that has already been used to collect money again.
The two groups worked simultaneously and quickly finished weighing all the sweet potatoes in no time.
Because there were many people selling sweet potatoes, Xu Han was afraid they would block the way by standing on the main street, so before leaving she told them to come in through the back door when they came to deliver sweet potatoes in the future.
I'll also pass on the message to the people who brought me sweet potatoes on my way back, and to the people in my village.
We had just seen this group off when another group arrived. Perhaps because they hadn't run into the previous group, they came in from the front again.
Passersby were curious when they saw that there were people selling sweet potatoes in front of the shop. They couldn't help but ask, "Are you buying sweet potatoes?"
Xu Han smiled and said to the person who came up to ask, "Yes, sir, we buy sweet potatoes here. If you have any sweet potatoes to sell, you can bring them over."
We've been buying sweet potatoes here recently. Washed and dried sweet potatoes are one cent for two jin, and unwashed sweet potatoes are one cent for three jin.
Of course, we won't accept any rotten or broken ones, but we'll accept all the others, big or small, and even the ugly ones.
When you go back, you can also tell your villagers or relatives that they can bring sweet potatoes here to sell. Remember to deliver them through the back door, as the front door gets too crowded and can easily block the road.
