Chapter 536: Excavator to Arrive

The people who dug wells on the mountain came—it wasn't that the family was slow, it was really hard to invite people these days, because tap water has been connected to the village, and the wells of each family have been abandoned slowly.

Those who dig wells can't get work, these old hands are busy with their own things, and they waited for so many days because they had to save manpower.

Fortunately, three people were finally gathered. They came early in the morning and walked around the marked places on the mountain first, and came back to report the price while bringing equipment:

"Hard to dig! One is on the top of the mountain, all stones, have to use a drill first. There are two others on other mountain tops, and the angles are tricky... You don't just want to dig out water, but also repair the pool and well, the price is expensive!"

"And you want to find a water outlet every distance, and connect the water channels... Counting this, there are more than a dozen places in total."

Discussing with locals, this matter was Wu Lan's turn. Only heard her say "Oh my": "The location is almost set, how much trouble it saves! Neighbors, give a real price?"

The location is not set, but the location is roughly circled—Professor Song has been here for a few days, and has already made basic plans with Yanran and them, and the route of how to dig the water channel is set.

Within this route range, more water outlets on the top of the mountain will be more convenient.

The three big men discussed for a while, and honestly reported the price: "The one on the top of the mountain is 1000! We will pack it! Including repairing the pool... the ones you found a good place are cheaper, 500. We will slowly find the others these two days, 600 each."

"Too expensive!" Wu Lan was decisive: "Other villages invited you to dig wells before, only 400!"

"You also said it was invited by the village, flat land, all soil, different from the mountain... Just say our machine, it's hard to lift it up..."

"I have a tricycle, the tricycle will send you... have to be cheaper! In this way, the rest are 400..."

The two sides fought back and forth, and finally successfully priced according to Wu Lan's idea.

When people went up the mountain, Wu Lan smiled satisfactorily: "This price is not bad, fair."

Then why are you still in a posture of enduring pain and having to recognize it?

"What do you know!" Wu Lan looked at the group of people who didn't know how to live lightly: "These are all labor costs, high and low are not standard. You put on such a posture, people also feel that their price is worth it, and they are in a good mood when working."

Song Tan:...

And just at this time, she also received a call—

【Super Affordable Excavator Brother】

Huh huh huh?

On the other end of the phone, the excavator brother's voice was a bit twisted and a bit shy:

"That what, sister, does your mountain still need an excavator to work recently?"

Yes, why not? She has two or three hundred mu of mountains! Without an excavator, she has to work until the end of the world!

But...

"In such hot weather, is it okay?"

"Okay, okay!" The excavator brother's voice was full of excitement: "Start work at four or five in the morning when the sky is bright, and end at ten. Start at five in the afternoon, and end at seven or eight. One day can steadily do a shift, definitely eight hours!"

"Then how do you charge for this?"

The new mountain top is not as good as her back mountain. The back mountain has no stones, but there are high and low stones, shrubs, small trees, and weeds on the mountain slope. The excavator came from the suburbs, and the starting fee was one thousand.

"Not much, not much!" The other party was happy: "Pack food and accommodation, 1500 a day, how about it? Is it okay?"

How about it? Song Tan laughed and cried, symbolically haggling:

"Is it a bit expensive?"

"Not expensive, not expensive, sister! Your mountain has stones and earthwork, I open a Komatsu, and I have to add a crushing hammer, one shift is only 1500! The fuel consumption alone is over one thousand a day, plus maintenance costs and labor costs... I won't charge extra for the crushing hammer!"

When the back mountain started work, Song Tan specifically understood the price of the excavator, and this young man was so honest, she actually had a good impression and trust, and was puzzled at this moment:

"Komatsu? The one you drove last time wasn't that what, Kobelco?"

Don't look at her as if she understood, in fact, brand popularization was only learned from chatting with the person in charge of the engineering team last time.

But the excavator brother didn't know. At this moment, he only sighed: "Sister, you are so knowledgeable now. I drove my cousin's excavator last time. He doesn't do it now, the excavator was mortgaged to others, and I bought a second-hand one myself."

In fact, he wanted the machine his cousin had, but his cousin owed online loans, and people were obsessed with money... Finally, he gave up.

"Oh my, you are awesome!" Song Tan was a bit surprised: "Second-hand also costs hundreds of thousands, right?"

On the other end of the phone, the excavator brother only kept laughing: "Still okay, the market has not been good in the past two years, and the excavator has progressed fast, the price is not that expensive."

"My down payment is only thirty thousand, I have enough money."

"Brother Xu said it can be bought, I work steadily, and he calls me when he has work."

Brother Xu is the person in charge of the engineering team. In the past few years, the excavator brother has been an apprentice to others, and later a substitute in the team. When there is no work, he also goes to work on any project that lacks people. He learns everything and is miscellaneous, but he is steady.

Young people like this are hard to find now! Therefore, the person in charge still likes him quite a bit.

Coincidentally, what Song Tan likes is this steadiness.

At this moment, she smiled: "Okay, then you come. My two hundred mu must be worked well for a while."

"Okay, sister!"

On the other end, the excavator brother was even happier: "I just like working for your family, the food is delicious, and the wages are not delayed. I will come tomorrow!"

This is sincere.

A few years ago, the excavator business was hot. The work the excavator brother took now, when it was high, one shift was over two thousand.

In the past few years, it hasn't been good. Many people can't get work, and many people in their excavator group can't do it, and they all sold their cars and changed careers.

Even if they get work, getting money is a difficult thing.

He has been a substitute for others for these years, and it's not that he hasn't encountered arrears and defaulting, or the agreed price, and after finishing, people went back on their word...

Only working in Song Tan's family is so comfortable!

Although the excavator he drove at first was small, the fuel consumption was low, and his asking price was also low.

But Song Tan has always said what the price is, and when settling the account, it is fast and not vague. This point is far better than others.

And... and the food in her family is really delicious!

Thinking of this, the young man's saliva was about to flow out.

He was so honest, Song Tan was not vague:

"Okay! Then you come over these two days. But my family has no place to live, you live on my grandfather's side."

The plan has not been fully made, but it does not affect digging the mountain and turning the soil to dry first. ===== CHAPTER 537 =====
