The people who dug wells in the mountains have arrived - it's not that the family is inefficient and they hired such talented people, but it's actually that now that tap water is connected to the village, all the wells are slowly being abandoned.
The well diggers couldn't get any work, so these old masters went about their own business. They waited for so many days because they still had to save manpower.
Fortunately, we finally got together three people. We came early in the morning and went to the marked place on the mountain for a walk. When we came back, we brought the equipment and quoted the price:
"It's not easy to fight! One is on the top of the mountain, and it's full of rocks. You need to use a drill first. The other two are also on the top of other mountains, and the angles are very tricky... You not only have to pump out water, but you also have to repair the pool and well.
, the price is expensive!”
"And you want to find a water outlet every once in a while and build canals in series... Then after all, you need more than a dozen places before and after."
After discussing with the locals, it was Wu Lan who took action on this matter. She just heard her say: "The location has been reserved for you. It will save trouble! As a fellow villager, can you tell me the real price?"
The location was not decided, but roughly circled - Professor Song had already made a basic plan with Yan Ran and the others after he had been here for a few days. He already had a route for how to dig the canal.
Within this route, it would be more convenient to have more water outlets at the top of the mountain.
The three big men discussed it for a while and made an honest offer: "The one on the top of the mountain is 1,000! We'll cover it! And we'll also repair the pool... You can find a cheaper one in a good place, 500. We'll slowly look for the others in the next two days."
,600 each.”
"It's too expensive!" Ulan said firmly: "The other village asked you to dig a well, and it only cost 400!"
"You also said that the village hired us. The flat land is full of dirt, which is different from the ones on the mountains! As for our machine, it takes a lot of effort to lift it up..."
"I have a tricycle. I will give you a tricycle...it must be cheaper! Let's do this. The rest is only 400..."
The two parties went back and forth, fighting for a while, and finally succeeded in setting the price according to Ulan's idea.
When they went up the mountain, Wulan smiled with satisfaction: "The price is not bad, it's fair."
Then you still look like you are reluctant to admit defeat and have no choice but to do it?
"What do you know!" Wulan glanced at a group of people who didn't know how to make a living: "They are all labor fees, and there is no guarantee of whether they will be high or low. If you pose like this, people will think that the price is worth it.
I feel good when I’m alive.”
Song Tan:......
At this moment, she also received a call——
[Super affordable excavator guy]
Huh huh huh?
On the other end of the phone, the excavator guy’s voice was a little twitchy and shy:
"Uh-huh, sister, do you need an excavator to work on your mountain recently?"
If you want it, why don’t you want it? What about her two to three hundred acres of mountains! If you don’t rely on an excavator, you’ll have to work until you grow old!
but……
"Is it possible on such a hot day?"
"It can be done!" the excavator guy's voice was full of excitement: "I start working at four or five in the morning and finish at ten. I start at five in the afternoon and finish at seven or eight. I can steadily work one shift a day.
, there must be eight hours!”
"Then how do you charge for this?"
The new hilltop is not as good as the back hill. There are no rocks at all on the back hill, but there are hillsides with high and low rocks, shrubs, trees and weeds. The excavator comes from the suburbs, and the starting fee is one thousand.
"No more, no more!" The other party said happily: "Food and accommodation are included, 1,500 a day, how about it? Is that okay?"
How about it? Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry, so he bargained for a symbolic price:
"Isn't it a bit expensive?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, sister! There are rocks on your mountain, and you have to do earthwork. I'll drive a small pine tree, and add a breaker. It's only 1,500 per shift! The daily fuel consumption is over a thousand, plus
Maintenance and labor costs... I won’t pay for it if I install the breaker for you!”
Song Tan knew the price of the excavator when the back mountain construction started, and the young man was so honest. She actually had a good impression and trust. At this moment, she was confused:
"Komatsu? Didn't you drive that Kobelco last time you came here?"
Even though she seems to understand what she said, she actually only learned about brand science when she chatted with the person in charge of the engineering team last time.
But the excavator guy didn't know, and he just sighed: "Sister, you are so knowledgeable now. Last time I drove my cousin's excavator, but he doesn't make it now, and the excavator was given to someone else.
I bought a second-hand one myself.”
In fact, he wanted his cousin's machine, but his cousin owed an online loan, and he was obsessed with money... and finally gave up.
"Ah, you can do it!" Song Tan was a little surprised: "A second-hand one costs hundreds of thousands, right?"
On the other end of the phone, the excavator guy just giggled: "It's okay, the market has been bad in the past two years, excavators have made rapid progress, and the price is not that expensive."
"My down payment is only over 30,000 yuan, so I have enough money."
"Brother Xu said he could buy it. My work is stable, and he called me when he got a job."
Brother Xu is the leader of the engineering team. In the past few years, the excavator guy has worked as an apprentice and later as a substitute in the team. When there is no work, he will work on any project that lacks people. He can do everything and learn everything.
Although complex, the people are down-to-earth.
It's hard to find young people like this nowadays! Therefore, the person in charge quite likes him.
Coincidentally, Song Tan also likes this kind of practicality.
At this moment, she smiled and said: "I want you to find work here to pay the monthly payment! Okay, then you can come. I will have to work hard for a while on my two hundred acres."
"Okay sister!"
On the other end, the excavator guy was even happier: "I just like working for your family. The food is delicious and the salary is not delayed. I will go there tomorrow!"
This cannot be said sincerely.
The excavator business was booming in the past few years. For the job that the excavator guy is taking now, when it was high, there were people hiring more than 2,000 people per shift.
In recent years, things have been going bad. Many people have been unable to get jobs. Many people in their excavator group can no longer do it, so they have sold their cars and changed careers.
Even if you get a job, it's difficult to get money.
Over the years, he has been working as a substitute for others, and it’s not like he has never encountered people who defaulted on their debts or defaulted on their debts, or who had negotiated a price and then regretted it after the work was done...
It's so comfortable to just work at Song Tan's house!
Although the excavator he drove at the beginning was smaller, it had low fuel consumption and the price he charged was also low.
But Song Tan has always said that the price is whatever it is, and the checkout is quick and unambiguous, which is far better than others.
And...and the food at her house is really delicious!
Thinking about it this way, the young man's mouth started to water.
What he said was so true that Song Tan was also unambiguous:
"Okay! Then you can come over in the next two days. But my family has no place to live, so you can live with my grandpa."
The planning is not complete yet, but it does not affect the excavation of the mountain, turning over the soil and exposing it to the sun.
