"Well, it's okay if it's not enough. We'll work overtime tonight and finish all 6,000 jin of orders for tomorrow."
Although they mentioned in advance when they placed the order that they might not be able to deliver the goods at the same time, let's try our best to expedite the process.
The difference isn't that much; it's hard to say who will get it if they don't give it to them.
Juxiang agreed, saying, "That's what I was thinking too. It's just that we were delayed a bit yesterday, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a tight schedule."
However, Madam, you don't know that our family has a great reputation in the county town now, and it's all good reputation.
Since the imperial edict was issued yesterday, everyone has been talking about you, saying that you are exceptionally selfless and a good person.
Previously, people didn't know that you were the one who came up with the method of composting, but now that they do, they're all going to our shop to buy things to support you.
Yesterday, the local produce shops and taverns were packed with customers.
The mountain produce shops are sold out, and the taverns have received many new orders for sweet potato wine.
Xu Han really didn't know about this. She had been busy from yesterday to today and had no spare time to deal with other things.
Hearing Juxiang say this, she couldn't help but worry, "Huh? Is it that serious? But did you tell the people who ordered the sweet potato wine that we don't have any in stock?"
"We also mentioned that the production process of sweet potato wine is complicated, and if we order now, we might not receive it before the New Year."
But they weren't in a hurry at all and insisted on making a reservation. There was nothing we could do but register them again.
"Look, here's everything from yesterday. It's all small orders, adding up to a total of 1086 jin (544 catties)."
Xu Han took it and looked at it. Fortunately, it wasn't much, and she could finish it in a day or two.
"Well, it's not a lot anyway, so just place the order! You guys work a little harder before the New Year and try to produce as many as possible."
I reckon there will be more big orders coming in later.
Today, the imperial envoy took away quite a lot of sweet potato wine. Sweet potato wine has a strong flavor, and many people should like it.
Especially if even the current emperor approves of something, then everyone else will definitely want to try it.
Once they find out where this sweet potato wine comes from, they will definitely come to buy it.
As a result, the sales volume of sweet potato wine will likely be even greater. It seems we need to hurry up and build the new workshop, otherwise production will not be able to keep up.
Although Xu Han's status is different now, she didn't immediately put on airs and continued to work alongside everyone as usual.
The people in the temporary workshop had all known Xu Han for a long time and understood her personality, so they didn't treat her with special respect, and the atmosphere between them was quite harmonious.
And so, Xu Han spent the whole day working in the workshop, and only started walking home when the sun went down.
When Xu Han returned home, Lu Chuan was already sitting in the main hall, drinking tea and resting.
Seeing her return, he quickly poured her another cup of tea and handed it to her, saying, "It's cold today, why are you still working so late?"
Xu Han took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I had nothing else to do, so I stayed there a little longer."
After yesterday's events, business at the shop is even better.
The workshop is running low on inventory, and it looks like there's not enough space. We need to hurry and start preparing to build the workshop.
"Yes, I went to measure the land today. The county magistrate was quite accommodating. The land that was fenced off is far more than 1,000 mu."
The area you chose yesterday wasn't big enough, so the magistrate took it upon himself to include the surrounding land, creating a large, complete area.
Besides the place you chose yesterday, the county magistrate also specially marked out the intersection where we always go down the mountain for us, and didn't include it in that thousand acres.
That spot is unsuitable for farming; it's just lying fallow. They said it would be better to build houses for us.”
"Well, we'll accept whatever he gives us. Anyway, that's what the Emperor thinks too. So, in a way, we didn't really gain anything."
Lu Chuan nodded. "That's what I was thinking too. I just wanted to let you know so you don't feel pressured about this place."
Xu Han smiled and waved her hand, "Haha, no way."
Then she continued, "Speaking of which, Yunyun should arrive around tomorrow. If Yunyun comes back tomorrow, let's go back to the mountains the day after tomorrow. I've been away from home for a long time, and I really miss home."
Anyway, there's nothing much to do here anymore. The workshops and shops have settled down, so we don't need to keep an eye on things here all the time.
“Okay, if you want to go back, then we will. The New Year is coming soon. We’ve been living in the county town all year, and we don’t know how the preparations for the New Year are going at home.”
Xu Han's eyes lit up. "That's right, we haven't started preparing for this year's New Year's goods yet. Let's go shopping together tomorrow afternoon."
"Also, buy all the things we need to give to the servants for the New Year, otherwise we won't have enough time."
No girl dislikes shopping. So Xu Han took the initiative to accept the task; nothing is more stress-relieving than personally going on a large-scale shopping spree.
"Boss, I'll go shopping with you tomorrow afternoon. You should think about what you want to buy first, and it would be best to write it down."
"Take your time thinking about it. I'll go and have someone set the table."
Xu Han waved her hand. "Alright, alright, go ahead."
After dinner, Xu Han filled out a shopping list in the study, while Lu Chuan helped her make decisions.
A good night's sleep...
The next day, the couple got up together as soon as it was light.
Today is the delivery day for the sweet potato wine order, and Xu Han still feels more at ease if she goes to keep an eye on things herself in the morning.
There will definitely be a lot of people then, and I'll be able to lend a hand.
So after breakfast, she took Lu Chuan out with her.
When the two arrived, the shop had just opened. There were already quite a few people in the shop picking up their pre-ordered goods, afraid that if they came late they wouldn't be able to get them and would have to wait for the next batch.
Seeing the growing number of people in the shop, Xu Han called out, "Everyone, don't rush, line up properly."
Orders placed on the opening day or the second day are all available today.
As for the orders placed later, you'll have to wait a little longer. Please don't worry, we're working overtime to rush the orders so that everyone can receive the sweet potato wine before the New Year, so you can enjoy it during the holiday.
Perhaps Xu Han's voice was too soft to drown out the voices of the other people in the shop, so Li Wen moved a chair over, stood on it, and shouted the same words that Xu Han had just shouted.
Upon hearing this, the people gathered inside the shop began to line up.
Because the shop was busy today, Xu Han specially called Han Qi and Zhu Chunsheng over to help. Together with the shop assistants, the group managed to keep things running smoothly.
The male laborers were responsible for carrying the jarred sweet potato wine out of the storage room in the backyard, while Xu Han and Lu Chuan helped collect the final payment and watched people collect the wine.
