Chapter 581 An order has arrived.



Xu Han smiled slightly. "Yes, that's really good. You did a great job."

This is just the beginning; in a few days, there will likely be even more orders.

When they place an order, remember to register everything. We don't have a large quantity of canned fruit, and our sweet potato wine is also limited, so don't oversell.

Also, when they order sweet potato wine, we must tell them that we don't have it in stock, and even pre-orders have quantity and time limits.

Especially for those who plan to buy it to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year, our sweet potato wine can only be shipped closer to the New Year. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait.

If someone gets impatient and wants to cancel their deposit halfway through, don't argue with them; just cancel it.

Li Wen nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I remember everything."

"Well, there are only a few days left before we leave. No matter how busy you two are, you must not let things fall apart internally. If things fall apart internally, we'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, both men's expressions changed, and they quickly bowed and solemnly promised, "Madam, rest assured, we will absolutely manage internal affairs well, keep records of everything, and never make a mistake."

Xu Han waved her hand, urging them to get up quickly, and then continued to promise, "Once this busy period is over, everyone will be rewarded. Don't worry, as long as you work diligently for those who follow me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Once we sell all this stock, let's have a prosperous New Year together, and everyone can have a good time."

Upon hearing this, everyone was delighted and looked forward to the New Year even more.

In the afternoon, Xu Han and Lu Chuan continued to help out at the shop.

Whenever they had time, the others would also come to the temporary workshop to work.

Xu Han was naturally happy to see this. She couldn't give them anything else for the time being, but she could treat everyone to a good meal.

In the late afternoon, the couple left after working for half the day.

Lu Chuan and Xu Han first went to the tavern and each took a two-pound jar of hawthorn preserves and a two-pound jar of pear preserves.

Then they also bought various one-pound bottles of fruit wine and two pounds of sweet potato wine.

After putting them in the basket, I went to the mountain produce shop and got some mountain produce to pack.

These are all gifts I prepared specifically for my visit to the county magistrate tomorrow.

It was the first time for both of them to meet the county magistrate, so they naturally had to take it seriously and try to leave a good impression on him.

Although the magistrate wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for them with the Taoist priest around, Xu Han also thought about cultivating a relationship with the magistrate herself, rather than troubling the Taoist priest with everything.

Most importantly, she also wanted to use the county magistrate to advertise her products.

If even the county magistrate eats it, then wealthy families will naturally crave it.

If the county magistrate said a few nice words, or even bought something from their shop, would her products still have a reputation? Would they still have trouble selling?

At that time, I'm afraid the prices of everything in the shop will rise accordingly, and may even double again.

However, Xu Han does not plan to raise the price again, but she really wants to see the situation of supply falling short of demand.

After everything was prepared, it was time to cook dinner.

Without further delay, the two headed straight home.

When she was almost home, Xu Han took out ten pounds of beef from her spatial storage.

We promised to improve everyone's meals, but we can't just talk about it; we have to take concrete action.

She couldn't just take the beef; she also took out a basket of eggs from her spatial storage.

Giving an egg to the servants every day is indeed a bit too extravagant, and Xu Han can't afford it either, but it's okay for them to eat it occasionally.

The food we eat at home now is better than what ordinary families eat.

Although it's still mixed noodles and coarse grains, it's enough to fill you up.

They can even eat meat and eggs every now and then, which is much better than what ordinary people eat, isn't it?

In this era, there are too many people who don't have enough to eat. For them, being able to eat their fill is something they don't even dare to dream of.

If a family could afford to eat their fill, they could be considered wealthy and well-off.

What's more, they can also eat eggs and meat!

Ordinary people can only afford to eat meat during the Lunar New Year, while better-off families can only eat it once a month.

Many ordinary farming households have not eaten meat for one or two years.

These past few years have been filled with natural disasters and wars; it's already quite an achievement to have survived.

Many people survived natural disasters and man-made calamities; those who survived were definitely from wealthy families.

Even farmers were in the same boat; those without any savings would have starved to death during the drought, let alone survive the natural disaster.

Xu Han handed the beef to Wei Yan, saying, "Tonight I'll make beef stew with radish. Also, prepare some dumpling filling with the rest, and we'll make some dumplings for everyone tomorrow."

Wei Yan looked at the ten-pound piece of beef in his hand, his eyes reddening. "Waaah, the master is so kind, he actually gave them beef to eat."

Since it wasn't bought with money, Xu Han wasn't particularly distressed and naturally couldn't understand Wei Yan's feelings at that moment.

After handing the items to him, she added, "Prepare plenty of hot water; my husband and I will be taking a bath soon."

Guo Daya, who was standing nearby, quickly agreed, "Yes, Madam, I'll do it right away."

After all, she was going to see the county magistrate. Xu Han had never seen such a high-ranking official before, both in her past and present lives, so she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

When visiting the county magistrate, one must not be impolite. At the very least, one must be clean and presentable, so as not to leave a bad impression.

The two took a comfortable hot shower. Xu Han sat in a chair drying her hair, while Lu Chuan shaved his beard beside her.

The house was heated by an underfloor heating system, so it didn't feel too cold.

"The tavern is about to open, I wonder if the Taoist priest and the others will come."

We've been away from home for almost a month now, and we really miss those two little rascals.

I wonder if they're obedient at home, and if they've grown taller?

Lu Chuan turned around and looked at Xu Han, asking, "Missing them?"

Xu Han rolled her eyes at him. "It's not like you don't want to."

Lu Chuan chuckled, ignoring the conversation. "When Han Qi goes to prepare the goods tomorrow, just have him pass on a message. It's almost the New Year, and the county town is more lively than usual. Let the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao bring them down to stay for a few days, so our family can have a reunion."

"That's fine, but you can't study every day of the year, or you'll become stupid. You still need to relax when it's time to relax."

"Yes, have someone clean their rooms tomorrow. They should arrive this afternoon."

Xu Han dried her hair, her stomach rumbling. She hadn't eaten enough for lunch and was now very hungry.

He then said, "I'll make the arrangements for tomorrow. Dinner should be ready soon, so let someone bring it directly to the room. It's too cold outside, and I don't want to go to the dining room."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Lu Chuan said, then turned and left the room. When he returned, he was carrying a plate.
