HCB Chapter 467 Calm Muer
Chapter 467 Calm Muer
Although there are not many people in the county town right now, it is quite safe.
It’s not good to stay in the mountains all the time. You should find a chance to go out for a walk. Otherwise, you will get bored if you stay in the mountains all the time.”
"Come on, I think you're just having fun."
Xu Han just laughed and didn't respond.
After the family had a happy dinner, everyone went to bed.
I have to go to the county town tomorrow. Although I don’t have to rush, I still have to go to bed early. Otherwise, if I go too late, I will be too hot when I rush.
The group could not stay in the county town for too long, otherwise there would be no one to feed the chickens, ducks, geese, etc. at home, which would definitely not be a good idea.
But she couldn't rush back all night. Xu Han was thinking of taking the Taoist priest and the others to have a good look around the house tomorrow and check out the newly purchased shop.
As she thought, she felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and her thoughts slowly drifted farther and farther away, until she finally fell into a deep sleep.
It has to be said that Xu Han's insomnia problem has been completely cured since she came to the ancient times. Every day she falls asleep as soon as she touches the pillow when she is tired, and she never has trouble sleeping.
When she woke up again, Lu Chuan and his family had already cleaned up the house and fed the chickens, ducks, geese and so on. They had breakfast together and then went out happily together.
Ze'er and Mu'er knew that they were going to the county town today, and they were very happy along the way.
Xu Han said to the two children, "Today, Mom will take you to see our new house. There are two children about your age there, one is a boy who is about five years old, and the other is a girl who is about three years old. You can play together then."
Sure enough, when the two heard this, their eyes lit up instantly. The two brothers had never had any other playmates since they were little, and the only people they saw every day were the adults in their family. Now when they heard that they would have friends to play with in the future, how could they not be happy?
"Yeah, yeah. Mom is the best."
Xu Han asked again, "Why don't we let them come back with us then? Then you can play together every day."
Ze'er was very happy and agreed immediately, while Mu'er frowned and said nothing.
Seeing this, Xu Han thought Mu'er disagreed, so she patiently asked, "What's wrong with Mu'er?"
"Has mother met them? What are their characters like?"
The adults present were stunned when they heard this. Obviously, they didn't expect Mu'er to ask such a question.
Sure enough, Mu'er was still too calm. These questions were not the right ones to ask at his age.
"So that's what you're worried about! Don't worry, Mu'er, I've seen them. They are all servants that I bought. If you're worried, you can observe them carefully. If you think it's not okay, I won't take them back to the mountains, and I'll let them work in the house in the county town."
Mu'er nodded then. Seeing this, Xu Han touched the layer of sweat that had inexplicably appeared on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Grandpa Zhao laughed and said, "Hahahaha, Mu'er is really becoming more and more calm."
"Yes, the children have grown up and now have their own ideas."
Xu Han said in a depressed tone, "It's not good to be too calm. If a child is too mature, I always feel like we as parents owe him something."
Lu Chuan patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't think too much, our son is very sensible."
After listening to this, Xu Han said nothing more. She turned around and walked forward, chatting and laughing with the children.
The whole family talked and laughed all the way, and it was already 10:30 in the morning when they entered the county town. Lu Chuan first rented an ox cart, and then several people went to the brick and tile store to transport the tung oil ordered yesterday and other materials needed for building the house.
This time, I spent a total of 58 taels of silver to buy materials for building the house, and these are just the material costs, not including labor costs.
If labor costs are included, the price of building these houses will definitely double. Fortunately, we now have the experience of building houses last time, so this time Lu Chuan will be in charge, and others will help everyone build them together.
This way, a lot of money can be saved. The most important thing is that it is difficult to find someone to build a house now, and Lu Chuan and Xu Han don’t want people to know about this place yet.
For the two of them, the more mysterious the place they live in must be, the better. Now the world is not completely stable yet, and Xu Han is worried about exposing this place to outsiders.
After paying the final payment, Xu Han calculated all the money left in the family.
After buying the property last time, there was a total of 637 taels of silver left. After deducting the cost of buying materials for building the house this time, there were only 579 taels of silver left in the family. The remaining silver completely exceeded Xu Han and Lu Chuan's budget at the time.
I thought it would be great to have two hundred taels of silver left after buying the house, but I didn't expect to have so much silver left after some bargaining.
With this money, the family can live well for many years even if they don't work hard.
But now that there are so many servants in the house, it is obviously impossible not to do it, otherwise everyone will definitely not have enough to eat.
Xu Han secretly told Lu Chuan the result of the calculation. Sure enough, when Lu Chuan heard the number, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Not bad, not bad. I thought there weren't many left. This is really a pleasant surprise."
Lu Chuan never cared about the family's money. Even if Xu Han told him about it, he could only remember a rough idea. If you asked him how much money he had and where he spent it, he definitely couldn't tell you.
"With this money, plus the output of our family, it will be enough for us to live for a long time."
"Well, the silver is gone, I'm making it, don't worry about the money."
Xu Han chuckled and said, "I'm not worried. Even if we don't make any money in the future, the rent from the store will be enough for our whole family to eat and drink."
"Hahaha, you're right. We own a shop now. But we can't rent it out right now. We can only wait and see the market conditions next year."
"No rush, we've found a bargain now, so we don't mind the small amount of damage."
The family drove a ox cart and transported the goods to the newly purchased largest shop.
Ox carts enter directly from the back door. Because the shop is large, the back door is also left large to facilitate the entry of ox carts to transport things.
After entering the shop, Lu Chuan closed the gate. Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest took the children around the shop, looking left and right. Xu Han took the opportunity to put all the things into the space.
Then I followed them to look around the shop and introduced the layout of the shop to them.
After walking around, Xu Han asked proudly, "How is it? Is this shop worth buying? Lu Chuan and I have been eyeing this shop since we saw it, and we decided to buy it as the first shop. It has a good location and a large space. It is simply a shop chosen by God."
