?Chapter 575: 575. The excavator will arrive at Location 1 Chapter 575: 575. The excavator will arrive at Location 1 The people who drill wells on the mountain have arrived—it’s not that efficiency at home is slow; it’s just that these days, since running water has reached the village, many wells have been gradually abandoned.
The well drillers had no work to take, so these old hands each kept themselves busy with their own things, waiting all this time because they still had to gather a crew.
Fortunately, they finally managed to assemble three people. Early in the morning, they went up the mountain to check out the marked spots, then came back and quoted a price while bringing the equipment:
“Not easy to drill! One is at the top of the mountain, all rocks, we’ll have to use a drill first. The other two are on other hilltops, very tricky angles… It’s not just about getting water, you also have to repair the water tanks and wells, so it’s going to be expensive!”
“Plus, you want to find a water outlet every so often, with upstream and downstream connections for aqueduct construction… All in all, that adds up to over a dozen places.”
It was Wu Lan who negotiated with the locals, and all it took was an exclamation from her: “The locations are all set by you, so that saves trouble! We’re all folks from the same township, how about a fair price?”
The locations weren’t fixed but roughly delineated—Professor Song had been here for several days, and had already drawn up the basic planning with Yan Ran and the others; the route for digging the aqueduct was all laid out.
Within this route, having several outlets at the top of the mountain would be more convenient.
The three big guys huffed and puffed in discussion, then gave an honest quote: “The one on the mountain top, that’ll be 1000! We’ll cover it! Including fixing the tank… If you find good spots yourselves, it’s cheaper, 500. We’ll look around for the others in the next couple of days, 600 each.”
“Too expensive!” Wu Lan cut in decisively: “The other villages paid you only 400 to drill before!”
