Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 501: Shop Price Increase

The people of Wei Ya would definitely help with this small favor if they could.

Apart from anything else, the two of them had done a huge deal with him, and he took a lot of commission.

And taking advantage of the cheap housing prices at the time, he scraped together enough money to buy a sizeable shop.

All this is thanks to Lu Chuan and Xu Han, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford it even if he wanted to.

After buying a shop now, when the county town recovers in the future, I can earn a lot of rent just by renting it out for a month.

The family can live well just by relying on the rent of the shop. If it weren't for Xu Han and the other one, their life would not be so easy.

So when Xu Han and Lu Chuan found him, he agreed without thinking. Besides, it was a small matter and didn't take much effort, so he would definitely help if he could.

If the two of them want to buy a store in the future, the first person they think of will definitely be him. This is also to stabilize customers and prepare for the future.

Wei Yaren took the couple to South Street. During the conversation among the three of them on the way, Xu Han learned that in just one month, the housing price had increased by more than ten taels of silver.

Upon hearing the news, Xu Hanle's mouth couldn't close. That is to say, according to the current situation, he had earned more than one hundred taels of silver in just one month.

Who wouldn't be happy if he earned more than a hundred taels of silver for nothing?

Wei Yaren said, "The war zone is getting farther and farther away from here. In recent days, many businessmen have come here, and many people have brought their families with them. I'm afraid the housing prices will continue to rise in the future."

Lu Chuan laughed and said, "Hahaha, it seems we bought it at the right time. If it was later, we would have to spend a lot more money."

The Wei Ya people smiled and said, "Of course. Looking at the current situation, this side should be safe.

However, the situation has not really settled down yet, and many people are still waiting and watching the situation. Many people went to the real estate brokerage offices in the past few days, but most of them just came to take a look, and not many people actually bought properties.

There are many foreign merchants these days, and the inns in the city are full every day in the past few days."

There hasn't been a caravan coming to the county for a long time. Now that the war is gradually stabilizing, there will definitely be some bold people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

Xu Han smiled and said, "It's good to have more people. Our county has been deserted for a long time. It's time to liven it up."

The three of them arrived at the place while chatting, and with the help of Wei Ya people's introduction, the matter was quickly settled.

Lu Chuan paid the deposit and agreed to expedite the work and come pick it up early the next morning.

Carpenter Wang took the deposit and guaranteed that it would be finished by tomorrow morning.

After leaving the courtyard, Lu Chuan asked Wei Yaren about the place where ceramic jars were fired. Coincidentally, Wei Yaren also knew the place, but it was a bit far away.

Lu Chuan asked for the address and planned to go there with Xu Han in the afternoon, so he would not let Wei Yaren accompany them. After all, Wei Yaren had his own things to do and it would not be good to bother him all the time.

"Okay, if you have any questions, feel free to come to Guanya to find me."

"Okay, thank you for following us."

Wei Yaren waved his hand and said, "Master Lu, that's nothing. It's just a small favor."

After bidding farewell to the Wei Ya people, Xu Han asked, "Where are we going now?"

Lu Chuan looked up at the sky and said, "It's still early! Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat something before going back?"

"I don't want to eat anymore. I'm tired after walking all morning."

"Then let's go back and rest. We haven't lived here for a while, so the house must be covered in dust. We'll have to clean it up before we can move in."

"Well, let's go." After saying that, Xu Han took the lead and walked towards the house.

When I opened the gate, I saw that there were many fallen leaves and weeds growing in the yard.

A house that has been uninhabited for a long time will easily become abandoned and especially unpopular. It seems that it will need someone to come and clean it regularly in the future, otherwise it will become dilapidated over time.

Lu Chuan took a broom and simply swept the fallen leaves in the yard, while Xu Han returned to the room, wiped the furniture in the house and mopped the floor.

The house was too big and the two of them didn't have the energy to clean it all, so they could only clean their nightly residence and the yard first.

Leave the rest of the place alone for now, and bring people to clean it up when you have free time.

Fortunately, they were gone for a short time, and the doors and windows were closed when they left, so the house wasn't particularly dirty. It took them about half an hour to clean up everything.

Xu Han asked Lu Chuan, "What do you want to eat for lunch? Let's eat directly in the space. No one uses the kitchen, and it's troublesome to clean it."

"I'm fine with anything. I can eat anything."

Xu Han glanced at the space and said, "Then let's have some rice and stir-fried vegetables, and a portion of West Lake beef soup. After eating, we will take a lunch break. We still have to order ceramic jars in the afternoon!"

"Okay, let's eat in the room."

The two of them took a rest after lunch. Because they were worried about the afternoon things, Xu Han didn't sleep well. After sleeping for about an hour, he got up.

Lu Chuan said dazedly, "Do you want to sleep a little longer? The sun is still very bright outside."

"I can't sleep. You go on sleeping. I'll sit for a while."

Lu Chuan immediately sat up after hearing this. "What's wrong? Are you not used to it?"

"No, maybe he woke up."

Lu Chuan jumped out of bed and said, "I won't sleep either. I'll chat with you."

Seeing that Lu Chuan really didn't want to sleep, Xu Han said, "I feel that there are a lot more people in the county this time than before. Do you think we can start renting out our shop?"

“You’ve also heard from the people of Wei Ya that now the people coming from outside are all businessmen from other places, and there aren’t many people who actually settle in the county, so it should be difficult to rent a house now.

But if you want to open a shop, you can start preparing now."

Xu Han nodded, thinking that Lu Chuan was exaggerating. "That's right, we can start opening the shop now. It seems that I need to plan it carefully."

"No rush, just tell me what you need me to do."

Xu Han pulled Lu Chuan's arm and said, "Then I need you to do something now. Since you can't sleep, let's go to the grocery store.

Making canned fruit requires a lot of sugar and rock sugar, and the ones in the space alone are definitely not enough. We need to buy some more, and we need to buy more."

"Okay, let's go. Let's rent a bullock cart on the way. We need to go outside the city to order some ceramic jars. We can't do it without a bullock cart. It's a long way away!"

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he began to bend down and put on his shoes. Xu Han didn't waste any time and quickly started to put on his clothes.
