It was after six o'clock in the morning, while Ye Mo was still sleeping, when his cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Oh...Okay, okay..."
Ye Mo received a call from Master Wang, stretched out and got up, put on his clothes... and went downstairs.
"You got up so early?" Father Ye just got up and saw Ye Mo washing up outside and asked.
"Master Wang has passed. I'll go over and have a look..." Ye Mo said.
After washing up, Ye Mo took the keys to the pickup truck and drove to Gaotupo.
Master Wang has just arrived and is sitting on the excavator, which has not started yet.
"Master Wang." Ye Mo shouted.
Master Wang responded with a smile: "The road leading to the mountain should be done as we said yesterday?"
"Yes. Make the slope of the road into the mountain smaller to make it easier for trucks to enter the mountain in the future."
"Okay, then I'll start working."
According to the original roadbed, widen the road. Then when it reaches a steep slope, dig deeper... and take more detours to make the slope of the road less steep.
Ye Mo told Master Wang that the slope should be as gentle as possible. The more time it takes, the more time it will take.
Ye Mo watched here for a while, then went home to eat, put on a red flag and went out, taking a hot water bottle and a big teapot with him.
The thermos was filled with boiling water, and Ye Mo also took a box of tea. The car was parked at the top of the mountain...
The excavator has reached the middle of the mountain.
"Master Wang..." Ye Mo went over with water and shouted.
"Why."
"I brought you a bottle of boiling water and some tea." Ye Mo also had a teapot here: "I'll help you brew it and let it cool here."
"Okay, thank you."
Ye Mo waved his hand and put a pack of Ruoyun here: "There are still cigarettes here. I have something to do later. You can watch the time and get off work at that time."
Master Wang chuckled: "Okay, you are busy with your own business, I promise not to cheat."
In summer, the daytime temperature is too high.
Master Wang came here after six o'clock today. He started work early and finished work early. In the afternoon, he didn't come out until after four o'clock.
Master Wang stopped the car, came over to smoke a cigarette with Ye Mo, took a sip of tea, and continued working.
Ye Mo also went down the mountain and drove away in his car.
Passing by the door of Chen Chen's house, Ye Mo saw Chen Chen and his family, who were about to go out.
Ye Mo stopped and said, "Third uncle, third aunt."
"Why."
"Are you going out?"
"My dad and I are going to Chengdu." Chen Chen said.
"Are you going there by car or taking a taxi?" Ye Mo asked.
"Let's go to the station in the city and take a long-distance bus there."
Ye Mo saw the third aunt riding a motorized tricycle, and it seemed that she was going to take them to Dongmen Town and then take a ride.
"I'm also going to Huacheng and will see you there." Ye Mo got out of the car, opened the trunk, and helped them load their luggage.
The third aunt thanked her profusely.
Ye Mo kept saying no, it was just a matter of convenience.
"Uncle San is going to Chengdu to check his legs?" Ye Mo asked.
"The surgery has been scheduled." Chen Chen said, "My dad's legs have been checked before..."
"Third uncle, I wish you a speedy recovery." Ye Mo said.
"Hahahaha...thank you for your kind words." The third uncle smiled and said: "How much does the excavator you hired cost per day?"
"2,000 yuan a day." Ye Mo said.
"So expensive?" said the third uncle, "I heard before that hiring Master Wang to do work seems to cost 1,700 yuan a day."
"That was last year, or the year before last."
The third uncle nodded.
"Now the oil price has gone up, and the cost of excavators has also gone up." Ye Mo said.
To excavate 20 tons, the oil price used to be around 5 yuan, and 2,000 yuan a day was also the normal price. Master Wang used his own excavator and drove it himself without hiring workers... When the oil price was 5 yuan, he could only do it for 1,700 yuan a day.
Nowadays, gas prices have increased. It is definitely not possible to charge 1,700 yuan a day.
Even if you earn 2,000 yuan a day, you can make a lot of money as a master.
Ye Mo took them to the passenger car, got off the bus, helped them get their luggage, and said to Chen Chen, "Everything went well."
"Um."
"Let's go. When I come back, I'll treat you to dinner and some soju." The third uncle said with a smile.
"You can drink soju, but you have to wait until you recover." Ye Mo said with a smile.
"Hahaha, okay... let's go."
"Bye-Bye."
Watching Chen Chen and the others enter the station, Ye Mo returned to the car, took out his mobile phone and called Tang Xun: "Hey, are you leaving yet?"
"Not yet, I'm making pastries in the pastry shop." Tang Xun said, "By the way, I'm making a cake for my little nephew. I've also made one for you. You can give it to Liang Xin later."
"I'm in town, would you like me to drive over and pick you up?"
"Come here quickly before I go back and drive."
Ye Mo drove to Tang Xun's pastry shop.
"Brother Ye." Wang Yue shouted.
"Hey, brother and sister..." Ye Mo said with a smile: "Where is the little darling?"
Wang Yue's forehead was full of black lines: "In the kitchen."
Wang Xin and two other clerks smiled with their lips pursed.
Tang Xun's voice came from the pastry room: "Guawazi."
Ye Mo smiled and walked into the counter and pastry room: "How long will you be busy?"
"It's almost half an hour." Tang Xun said, "What are you doing in the countryside every day? I've been back for so many days and I don't come out to play even if I ask you."
"I'm too lazy to run. My home is more than 20 kilometers from here, so it would be troublesome to run all the way."
"You are buying a house in the city. You have already bought a car worth hundreds of thousands, so it is not difficult for you to buy a house. Don't come to you for drinks every day. You can't find anyone..."
Two days ago, Tang Xun wanted to drink, so he called Ye Mo after seven o'clock in the afternoon. Ye Mo was too lazy to run.
"I've been extremely busy during this period." Ye Mo said, "Buying land, and then building roads...there are so many things."
"How big is the orchard you made?"
"The area that can be cultivated is 220 acres. It is considered a large orchard."
220 acres, which is a really big orchard in their area.
"Do you want an excavator?" Tang Xun said: "Uncle Wang Yue has more than a dozen excavators and is ready to dispose of them at a cheap price. There are also two new machines..."
"Small excavator?" Ye Mo asked.
"Yes." Tang Xun nodded: "If you are interested, we can go see it in the afternoon."
Ye Mo heard from Tang Xun that Wang Yue's uncle, a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions, mainly engaged in the excavator rental business.
Uncle Wang Yue has small excavators.
In recent years, large excavators have received fewer and fewer jobs, but small excavators have suddenly become more popular.
Ye Mo is planning to buy an orchard excavator to plant trees, dig ditches, etc.
In the orchard, having a small excavator can save a lot of work.
Ye Mo's second uncle's family has one. Because of that orchard excavator, the second uncle's family can barely manage two orchards totaling nearly 40 acres.
It’s not hard to see their orchard excavators and orchard rail cars over there.
However, I heard from my second uncle that their small excavator often breaks down...
It has been three years since I bought the excavator. The money to repair the excavator can be used to buy half of the excavator.
My second uncle’s orchard excavator costs 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. It has low power, loud sound, and is prone to breakdown...
There are high soil slopes and little flat land. The only machines that can be used are hand-held orchard machines. Over the year, there are many places where micro and small excavators can be used in the orchard. Ye Mo is also preparing to dig in the next few days.
