Chapter 473: Choosing a Son-in-law with Talent

Although the hilltop where the mulberry trees are planted outside the waiting room is not big, there is a spring with running water on the top of the hill, which can almost guarantee the irrigation of the trees on the mountain.

It can be said to be a pretty good place, but it would be a waste just to plant mulberry trees.

Building a mountaintop manor is the best choice. I hope I have the opportunity to take it this time.

If he could take down this mountain, he could help a large number of people with work instead of relief.

As soon as I thought of it, I did it, said hello to my sister Xu Jiaorong, turned around and went back to the city.

Han Li quickly came to the door of the courtyard outside the waiting room. After knocking on the door, he directly explained the purpose of his visit to the housekeeper.

"This is Xu Xian and Xu Hanwen, the owners of Xihu Yaju. They are here to help your master get through this difficult time."

The housekeeper naturally knew what was going on at home. Hearing that Han Li was here to help, he didn't care that his master had just woken up.

"It turns out to be Mr. Xu's family. Please come inside. Please come inside."

The housekeeper greeted Han Li all the way to the guest room and ordered his servants to serve tea quickly.

"Dong Xu, please take me with you. I'll go and inform our master right away."

"Well, go ahead."

Not long after, he walked over to the waiter with a sallow face, supported by two maids.

Han Li touched his nose and wondered if his life was too monotonous.

Not to mention a housekeeper, he didn't even have a maid to serve him.

"The grand visit of Mr. Xu's family really makes the humble house look brighter."

"The waiter was laughing outside. If your house is a humble one, then there won't be any luxury houses in Qiantang County."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and the impatient waiter took the initiative to enter the conversation.

"Dr. Xu just said that he could help me get through this difficult time. I wonder if...?"

Han Li: "I don't like beating around the bush, I just say what I think in my heart."

"If anything is inappropriate, please forgive me."

The waiter made an inviting gesture outside, and Han Li continued.

"I've fallen in love with the hilltop with mulberry trees outside the city, and I'm willing to buy it at the current price."

When Han Li mentioned real estate, the waiter's eyes immediately widened and he waved his hands impatiently.

"If Mr. Xu wants to come see the excitement of our Hou family, then you have chosen the wrong place, please."

Han Li was not in a hurry, stood up slowly, and said something before leaving.

"It would be best if you have the confidence to get through this hurdle, but if you miss today, you won't dare to take it even if you want to sell it to me."

"I believe Mr. Hou knows the background and methods of those silk merchants better than I do. I don't have the guts to try to steal food from the tiger's mouth with them."

After hearing this, the waiter's face suddenly turned pale.

He remembered the regulations written in the supply contract, which stipulated that if the goods were not delivered, he would need to compensate the customer ten times.

If there is a bad harvest, even if that group of people controls the market for raw silk, I can go to other places to buy some.

However, their family is currently experiencing no harvest. Even if other places are not affected by the disaster, they cannot collect such a large amount.

In addition, when the news of the disaster in Qiantang reaches the other party's ears, they will soon come to their door.

They are not religious men. If they see that they cannot produce enough raw silk this year, they are afraid that they will fall out immediately.

If they were to count their own assets, they would definitely drive prices down.

Things that originally cost 100 taels may be reduced to dozens of taels. At that time, even if everyone in the house is sold, it will not be enough to compensate the other party.

If this is the case, I might as well sell more cash before they come, at least to leave a way for future generations to survive.

Just when the waiter was about to say something, he found that Xu Xian, the owner of Xihu Yaju, had already been driven away by him.

"Hurry, hurry up and invite Dong Xu's family back. You must be sincere."

The waiter quickly sent the housekeeper to stop Han Li, who kept walking around the room like an ant on a hot pot.

Han Li was almost at the door when he was stopped by the housekeeper who was running over.

"Dong Xu's family will stay. Dong Dong's Xu will stay here. My master, please go back and discuss it."

Han Li glanced at the housekeeper sideways and said, "No, go back and tell your master. I won't watch the excitement in the Hou family."

"It will be the same if I buy it from others in a few days. The price may be cheaper then. I won't be annoying anymore. I'll say goodbye."

"The Xu Dong family will stay, the Xu Dong family will stay..."

The butler could only say from the sidelines that he didn't dare to pull anyone away.

But no matter what he said, Han Li never stopped for a moment.

Han Li returned to the city gate again. He still wanted to see the Miss Liancheng that he liked.

No matter what methods he uses to marry this beautiful lady, Han Li wants to marry her home.

But Xu Jiaorong was still talking there, and he couldn't even ask about the progress.

It wasn't until the evening when the porridge shed was closed that Xu Jiaorong separated from the others, but the look on her face was not pretty.

Han Li: "How can you show emotions while chatting? This is not like my sister."

Xu Jiaorong rolled her eyes at him, then sighed and said.

"The Miss Shijia you are interested in is probably out of business. She plans to choose her husband based on his talents."

"You didn't listen when I asked you to study hard. Now how can you get into people's eyes with your two swords?"

When Han Li heard that this was what happened, it was really the same as the requirements in the original drama "Liao Zhai: Emei Yixiao".

"Sister, don't worry about this. Maybe the two of us are destined to get together naturally."

Xu Jiaorong: "Just daydream there. This is really worrying me to death."

Just as Han Li was about to say something, he saw the waiter running all the way towards him.

"Dr. Xu, I was the one who lost my mind just now. I hope you don't give me any general knowledge."

"Waiter, I don't dare to take it seriously when you say that."

"I have already reserved a seat in the restaurant, and I would like to ask Master Xu to please move over and give me the next opportunity to apologize."

Han Li nodded, walked to Xu Jiaorong and said.

"Sister, let the servants do the work here. You can go home with the two maids, and I'll talk to the waiter about something."

Xu Jiaorong glanced over and whispered: "Everyone says that their family is in ruins. You'd better not get involved with him."

Han Li nodded, ordered the two maids and his sister to go home, and then explained where the young man was.

"Waiting outside, let's go."

"Dong Xu, please come this way."

The waiter entertained him at the 'West Lake Yaju' opened by Han Li and ordered several signature dishes.

Apart from the waiter, Han Li was not mentioned. Anyway, the other party wanted something from him, so he would not be anxious.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the waiter told us what had just happened.
