Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 472 Discussing the Servants' Room

As they got closer and closer to home, everyone became more and more excited, thinking that this would be where they would live for the rest of their lives. Looking at everything in front of them, they inexplicably felt a strong sense of belonging, which was completely different from the feeling of following their previous host family.

Lu Chuan opened the yard and led everyone in. As soon as everyone walked into the house, the dogs in the yard all rushed towards them. They didn't stop barking until they saw Lu Chuan and the other people in the family coming out.

When the dogs in other places heard the sound, they immediately ran back. Lu Chuan scolded them softly, and the dogs stopped barking immediately. However, seeing that their owners brought back so many strangers, they remained alert at all times. Several dogs surrounded them and followed them slowly, showing no signs of leaving.

When the servants saw so many dogs jumping out of the house, they were all frightened and stood motionless in the yard, not daring to move an inch.

Xu Han smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. There are many dogs in the house, but they don't bite good people."

I have to say that Xu Han's words are particularly artistic. If you think about it carefully, you will find that it doesn't bite good people, but it bites bad people!

At the same time, I also remind everyone to put away your little thoughts. Although sometimes she cannot pay attention to everyone in every aspect, she also reminds you that she still has many eyes.

After hearing Xu Han's words, everyone realized that the master was trying to warn them.

They all responded in unison, “Yes, ma’am.”

Seeing this, Xu Han continued to instruct, "There are not many rooms at home, so from today on, you will have to live together. There are two empty rooms in the backyard, men and women will live separately, so put your things inside first.

After we put the things away, Dan Niang, you will take the people out to cook. Liu Erzhu, you will take the people to follow the master to feed the chickens outside and get familiar with the environment first. After we finish the work, we will eat first and rest later. "

After Xu Han finished speaking, she went back into the house without waiting for others to react.

It was not until this moment that she fully experienced the feeling of having a servant, and she had to say that this feeling was really great.

In the past, after returning from a long trip, the first thing to do was to feed the livestock at home, and then clean the house.

Now that I have these servants, I don’t have to interfere in these matters at all. They can do them on their own.

After Xu Han put away her things, the backyard was also arranged properly. She led everyone to the vegetable garden outside to pick vegetables.

"We have a vegetable garden at home. Dan Niang will leave the cooking task to you for the next period of time. You can cook whatever you see in the garden. If there are any meat dishes, I will give them to you in advance.

You don’t have to cook specially for our family. We will eat whatever everyone else eats. But you must remember that the meal can be simple, but the quantity must be large enough to fill us up.”

Upon hearing this, Dan Niang quickly responded, "Yes, madam, don't worry."

Xu Han continued, "I will arrange the work for the rest of you one by one, don't worry."

Mrs. Ma said with a smile, "Madam, we are not in a hurry. Don't worry, we are here. We are all capable people who can find work for ourselves."

Xu Han smiled and said nothing. It was indeed true. Just now when she came out of the inner room, she saw Zhu Laoer's wife sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard with a broom.

The others were also cooperating with each other to do other things. While Xu Han was taking them to the vegetable garden, Mrs. Zhao and Zhou took the opportunity to squat in the vegetable garden to pull weeds.

"I have seen what you have done. You have put in a lot of effort. There is not much work to do at home. It is mainly some miscellaneous tasks. For now, just do whatever you can and don't be picky.

I will arrange work for you based on your situation in a while."

Then she continued, "If there is any work to do at home, I will arrange for you to do it at any time. Just wait for my notification for details."

As they were talking, they finished picking all the vegetables for today's meal. Since no one had eaten breakfast, the lunch was simple, tomato, egg and noodles. It was delicious and simple. It would be even more fragrant if some wild amaranth was added to it.

Dan Niang and her people had just finished rolling the noodles when Lu Chuan came back with them.

After everyone finished lunch, Xu Han asked everyone to go back and rest for a while. They were all very tired after traveling all morning.

She also followed Lu Chuan back to the room. The two of them had to discuss building a house. There were more than twenty people, and two rooms were too crowded.

The room was packed with people, with no place to step. If anyone wanted to go to the toilet during sleep, they had to step on other people to get through.

Moreover, it is indeed inconvenient for so many people to live together, and friction is inevitable over time. In order to solve this problem as soon as possible, the house must be built quickly.

Lu Chuan said, "Haven't we already decided on the location to build the house?"

Xu Han replied, "Yes, but I'm thinking about how to build this house and how big it should be. I want to start construction as soon as possible. It's not convenient for them to live in the backyard. After a long time, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao will not be used to it."

"Well, we really need to hurry up and build the house. When I took them to feed the chickens today, I took a walk over there. If we want to build a house, the most important thing is to clear that area first."

Xu Han continued, "Then you can take them over to clean up the homestead this afternoon. You can discuss with the Taoist priest where to build it. It would be best if it is closer to the river, but not too close. If the water level rises again one day, it will be a disaster."

"Well, after taking a nap, we will go over there to take a look at the terrain. As for how to build it, I don't know. You have to make the decision."

Xu Han thought for a moment and suggested, "Can we just build them in a row?

They are a large family with many people. It would be inconvenient for them to all live in one yard. We will just build a row of rooms and then enclose a large yard. We will lay bluestone slabs in the yard so that we can dry the food in the future."

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "My wife is really smart. I think this method is feasible.

At that time, four people can live in one room, so it won't be crowded. Four people can share one big kang, which can save firewood in winter. As for couples, let them live in one room with their children, so as not to destroy their small family.

But once you get older, you have to live in a shared room, otherwise it’s inconvenient.”

Xu Han continued, "Well, we can also build a large warehouse in the yard to store grain."
