Hurry

Because of the King's visit, Meara and Theron had to act fast. Having four people at the store is enough so they went back to the village immediately. Bringing Eclipse along, Tahra can sleep at the extended house. Calla has her own room in the courtyard.

They may have nurseries at the store and home. But they cannot afford to deplete their stocks because of this bulk order.

They went straight to the Coal's pottery and ordered 200 pots. Both for the King's order and to replenish their stocks. Good thing, the family has enough pottery and their kilns have been working full time in the past few days. They can have the purchase delivered that day.

They visited the old bamboo man and ordered 100 strips of bamboo strips. To their surprise, the strips were readily available and he insisted on making them take all 300 pieces. Since it is fairly cheap, Theron bought it all.
