Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Preparing to Move into the New Ho
Seeing Li Dazhuang and Gu Yi squatting in front of the construction site of the factory, Xia Liu stopped the car and went over to greet them.
Gu Yi was now his father-in-law, after all, so he ought to give him a warm welco.
“Brother Xia Liu, you’re back.”
“Yep, got in last night. Everything’s going smoothly with the project, I hope?”
Xia Liu nodded. With him not in the village, he had entrusted everything to Li Dazhuang. He was really thankful to this guy.
“Yep, everything is very smooth. With Uncle Gu here, it’d be hard even if we wanted to have problems.”
“Heh, I definitely believe that. Uncle Gu’s years of experience aren’t a joke.”
“Hehe, Xia Liu, you flatter
too much,” said Gu Yi modestly, but the confidence on his face was sothing no newcor could display.
“By the way, Brother Xia Liu, following your advice last ti, I only sold half of the Osmanthus Wine to Yang Tian and Huang Yilong, and I’ve taken care of it.”
“Hmm, very good. So how many bottles of the Osmanthus Wine are packaged up now?” Xia Liu asked with a nod and a smile.
“About five thousand bottles now.”
“Five thousand bottles, if it all sells, that’s fifty million. Not bad at all,” Xia Liu nodded in satisfaction.
“Pfft!”
Gu Yi, who had been taking a deep drag of his old cigarette, couldn’t help but spit it out.
He had visited the winery and knew the process of making Osmanthus Wine, which had virtually no cost.
It could be said that Xia Liu had made a net profit of fifty million in just a few days.
However, to Xia Liu, making fifty million in a few days was rely considered ‘not bad’…
“Uncle Gu, it’s about ti for a break. Let the guys rest and have a al; let’s go have a few drinks,” offered Xia Liu.
“No, no, it’s only ten-thirty right now. We should at least work until twelve,” Gu Yi decisively refused Xia Liu’s suggestion.
Although he wanted to go, he had his principles. Even though Xia Liu was involved with his daughter, work and life needed to be kept separate; otherwise, the rules would be in disarray.
“Alright then, Dazhuang, when you and Uncle Gu finish work at twelve, drive over to my place.”
“Okay, see you later.”
Watching Xia Liu leave, Gu Yi couldn’t help but feel touched, his daughter had indeed found a suitable husband.
Although Xia Liu had sowhat more won, he was capable, personable, and everything he did was reasoned and principled, far better than those rich second-generation young n.
Moreover, Gu Yi had learned from Li Dazhuang that the reason Xia Liu had started this silk factory was to increase the inco of nearby farrs. As for profit, neither he nor the Osmanthus Group’s planners had thought about it.
Because of this, Gu Yi truly understood that Xia Liu not only had a sense of responsibility but also an unmatched level of compassion.
After driving back to Osmanthus Village, Xia Liu went to the hill where the Osmanthus Chickens were bred and personally caught a few.
Then he went into the forest to pick fresh wild vegetables and herbs for cooking the Osmanthus Chicken.
In the end, he also took a thirty-pound plastic jug to the winery and filled it to bring back.
The appearance of Xia Liu at the winery, where everyone was working, almost caused them to scream in excitent.
In recent days, all of them had benefited from the Osmanthus Wine, and their bodies had beco substantially healthier.
After greeting everyone, Xia Liu hurried ho to cook.
He had to personally treat Li Dazhuang, and he couldn’t leave out his future father-in-law, Gu Yi.
To Xia Liu’s surprise, during the cooking process, Gu Fangxia suddenly appeared at the kitchen doorway.
“Sister Gu, shouldn’t you be cultivating right now?”
“Just now, Lili was explaining the Cultivator’s Technique to us. We couldn’t rember too much, so Lili told us to rest and digest it and continue in the evening. I had nothing to do back in town, so I thought I’d co back to the village to take a look.”
“I see, well then, hurry and wash your hands, it’s almost ti to eat.”
Xia Liu nodded. It was his first ti encountering a Cultivator’s Technique, and even with a guide, it would take several days for Xiao Bai to learn it all.
“I saw a car outside, and I thought it wasn’t you. Why did you think of coming ho to cook?”
While washing her delicate hands, Gu Fangxia asked.
“Because I’m inviting your dad for a drink. Where else would I be if not at ho?”
“Ah! My dad! Does he know about us?” Gu Fangxia asked in surprise.
“Of course, he does. I told him a while back,” Xia Liu said, shrugging nonchalantly.
“This is bad, this is really bad. The day before yesterday, I was still fooling my parents, and you, you told them without even giving
a heads up!”
“It’s fine. Uncle Gu and Auntie probably almost died laughing at the ti.”
“You dare to make fun of !” Gu Fangxia was about to hit Xia Liu when a horn sounded at the door.
Gu Fangxia imdiately ran into the house, setting the table like a daughter-in-law.
Upon entering the house and seeing his daughter doing this, Gu Yi couldn’t help but smile.
“Fangxia, what a coincidence, you’re also here.”
“Yes, I ca to report the progress of the villa to Xia Liu,” Gu Fangxia still didn’t dare admit her relationship with Xia Liu in front of her father.
“By the way, Sister Gu, how’s the villa project going?”
Xia Liu, who ca out of the kitchen with dishes, beca puzzled upon hearing what Gu Fangxia said.
He had checked it out last ti and it seed almost done, so it should be completed by now, right?
“The villa district was completed three days ago, but since you weren’t here, I didn’t say anything.”
“Oh, it’s finished?” Xia Liu’s heart jumped.
The big project that took months had actually been completed.
That ans everyone can move into the villas whenever they’re ready!
“It’s all finished,” Gu Fangxia said seriously.
“Haha! That’s great; we’ll have to pick a day to move in,” Xia Liu said with a beaming smile.
What began as a small, inconspicuous plan had now co to fruition!
With this move, Osmanthus Village might well be the most prosperous village in the county.
“You’re impressive. Here, Xia Liu, your uncle toasts to you,” Gu Yi said as he clinked glasses with Xia Liu as soon as the al started.
In truth, he was craving the Osmanthus Wine; it was, after all, fifty thousand a bottle.
Now, with thirty jin under the table, how could Gu Yi possibly be polite.
“Dazhuang, when you go back tonight, tell Uncle Li that we are moving into the villas in three days,” Xia Liu said to Li Dazhuang, clapping him on the shoulder after a few rounds of drinks.
“Brother Xia Liu, isn’t this a bit rushed? Didn’t we just talk about picking an auspicious day?”
“Yes, I checked. Three days from now is an auspicious day according to the almanac, perfect for moving into a new ho.”
“Pfft! Which calendar says that…”
Gu Fangxia, who was sitting by the side, couldn’t bear to watch anymore; Xia Liu was completely disregarding common practice.
For moving to a new ho, most people would consult an Earth Daoist for an auspicious date, even inviting one to their ho.
“Okay, it’s not written anywhere, but the sooner we move, the sooner we can enjoy it. A peaceful and happy life is inevitable, and you don’t need to check to know that,” Xia Liu replied.
“Haha! Well said! We should be free and easy, live as we wish. That’s the happiest life. Fangxia, you should learn more from Xia Liu,” Gu Yi praised Xia Liu outright, now finding him very pleasing no matter how he looked.
Li Dazhuang didn’t delay and called his old man right away to share the news about moving into the new hos…
