Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Seeing that she was always like this, Lu Chuan couldn't stand it, so he tried different ways to make her happy every day.

The others didn't even dare to make a sound, for fear of upsetting her.

In the end, there was no other choice. In order to stop her from thinking about it, Lu Chuan simply started assigning him work to do.

There are still many shops in the county town that have not opened yet. The New Year is over and it’s time to open them.

So Lu Chuan asked Li Feng to report to Xu Han every day about the opening of the shop. Sure enough, when Xu Han heard about the opening of the shop, he immediately became excited.

Since then, he has been busy with the opening of the business and studying braised food recipes with Wei Yan.

Yes, Xu Han wants to open a braised meat shop. The chickens, ducks and geese at home must be sold. Just selling them in the mountain product shop will not consume much.

Especially in the later period, the feeding amount was increased. If we don’t find other ways to consume it, there will definitely be a backlog.

So Xu Han simply opened a braised meat shop, specializing in selling braised goose, braised duck and braised chicken.

Not only that, he also sells the claws, neck and wings separately, which actually makes a higher profit.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye the workshop was built and the sweet potato wine workshop was moved out of the big shop.

Because canned fruits sold well last year, Xu Han asked Li Wen to collect a lot of seasonal fruits early this year, and all those that could be canned were canned and preserved.

When the fruits in the mountains are ripe, they are made directly in the mountains and then transported down.

In addition to canning fruits, this year Xu Han also led his team to make a lot of dried fruits and jams.

Since I don’t know whether it will be popular, I won’t make much. I plan to test the market conditions this year. If it sells well, I will increase production next year.

The workshop was thriving, and except for the key technical personnel who were servants on death row, the rest of the workers were all villagers from nearby villages.

Female workers were paid 15 cents a day, male workers 20 cents a day, and they were provided with one meal at noon. People from nearby villages were scrambling to get in, hoping to be chosen to work.

Therefore, after the workshop opened, the nearby villagers also became much richer.

Now that the family has a stable income and can have enough food to eat, life is getting better and better, and there is more hope.

Things turned out just as Xu Han had predicted. After the New Year, many people from other places came to the workshop specifically to buy the sweet potato wine and canned fruits.

Since canned fruits are out of stock, they can only be ordered in advance.

The same goes for sweet potato wine. The daily output is in short supply and the orders have been scheduled for a month later. This is only controlled because of limited sales.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that no matter how much is produced that day, it will not be enough to buy.

At the beginning, the temporary workshop was small and the daily output was only about 1,000 kilograms. It was only after moving to the new workshop that the output gradually increased.

Unfortunately, there are not enough sweet potatoes and raw materials, so there is not much we can do even if we want to.

Helplessly, Xu Han could only spread the word that nearby villagers could grow sweet potatoes in large quantities, and he would purchase them at the same price next year.

But Xu Han also thought of one thing, that is, she was afraid that they would not sell next year because the price was too low, so Xu Han directly planted a lot of sweet potatoes in the official fields and her own fields.

Moreover, the method used is intercropping, which not only does not delay the planting of crops, but also provides extra income from sweet potatoes.

Xu Han also planted sweet potatoes in some corners and nooks. Sweet potatoes are not picky about the soil and are easy to manage, so they can be harvested no matter how they are planted.

Of course, if sweet potatoes are planted in sandy soil, the yield will be higher.

Therefore, Xu Han also encouraged nearby villagers to reclaim wasteland from the sand. Perhaps influenced by Xu Han, nearby villagers, like her, began to plant sweet potatoes wherever they could.

Sweet potatoes are planted in every corner and place where they can be grown.

Sweet potato vines grow fast and can be used to feed pigs. Xu Han told everyone that they could use sweet potato vines to raise pigs, and the sweet potato residue in the workshop was also sold outside, so some people with better financial conditions persuaded others to raise a lot of pigs.

In this way, in just one year, wouldn't people's lives get better? Their lives became more and more prosperous.

Of course, this is all a story for later...

Now let's talk about the mountains. The situation in the mountains is also stable. Old Man Zhu leads everyone to manage the orchards and fields, and they are busy.

In my spare time, I can take people to the mountains to pick mushrooms and wild fruits, and my life is very fulfilling.

Xu Han and Lu Chuan also returned to the mountains after they left.

The house in the county town was too big, and it felt very empty for two people to live in. Xu Han didn't like this feeling, so she went back to the mountains after they left.

Everything was developing in an orderly manner according to Xu Han's expectations, and everything was going smoothly.

And there was news about the New Year gift that Xu Han gave to the current emperor before the New Year at the end of February.

It is said that when the emperor received the gift, he had people work on it overnight, and finally tried it himself and was very satisfied.

If His Majesty is satisfied, he will certainly give some rewards.

The current emperor thought that the official position he gave her was already eye-catching enough. In addition, Yunhua had previously told him some information about her family and he knew that her family was in business, so he directly rewarded her with four shops in the capital.

Xu Han even specifically asked about Yunhua's location. When she learned that the location was very good, she immediately sent someone to check it out.

At the same time, they increased their inventory and stocked up on more goods, hoping to open a store in the capital after winter.

As the days passed, Xu Han's belly grew bigger and bigger.

Seeing that she was already five months pregnant, Xu Han looked at her abnormally large belly and fell into deep thought.

She's only five months old, so why does she look almost the same size as when she was seven or eight months old?

Especially in the past few days, my belly has been growing like crazy as if it was inflated.

In the past two days, several experienced maids also asked about this matter, and asked her indirectly if she was feeling unwell anywhere.

Seeing this, Xu Han also took it seriously, and the next day she asked Lu Chuan to take her to the county town.

Since coming back, Xu Han has hardly gone out again. She is getting heavier and heavier, and she is becoming lazier and lazier.

Apart from taking a walk in the yard every day, I don't go anywhere else. Although the morning sickness is not serious, I always feel very tired and exhausted and have no energy.

Seeing that her belly was getting bigger and bigger in recent days and Grandpa Zhao was not at home, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

But she didn't have any obvious discomfort in her body, so she couldn't help but have some vague guesses in her heart.

Not only did she have a guess, but everyone else had the same guess. However, because of her master, they were afraid that the result would not be the same as everyone else's guess, which would make the master happy for nothing, so they did not dare to speak carelessly.

In order to confirm whether this speculation was true, the couple went to the county clinic early in the morning.
