Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 37 Drip Irrigation Systems
Before Zhao Lei could speak, Hu Qiang was dissatisfied and said: "Brother, the price is too expensive, isn't it just a cement pool with a few rubber pipes, as for more than 7 yuan?"

Hu Jun smiled wryly and said, "You said it lightly. To build a water storage tank on the hillside, just laying the foundation is a big project. You also need to install pumps and pipes to facilitate water extraction from the river. These are all costs."

Hu Qiang said: "Of course I know this, but Leizi is my own, the price is too high!"

Seeing that the two brothers were fighting first, Zhao Lei quickly smoothed things over: "Uncle Hu, in fact, Boss Hu's price is not too high, it's within my tolerance."

Complacent, Hu Jun glared at his cousin and said, "See, Xiao Zhao said so."

Not to be outdone, Hu Qiang said, "That's because he was young and inexperienced, and he was deceived by you!"

"Stop, let me say a few words!" Zhao Lei interrupted the two of them and said, "Boss Hu, I won't bargain. There is only one requirement. The quality of the project must pass the test. I don't want to use it for a year or two before it breaks. no."

Hu Jun said seriously: "Don't worry about this, I, Hu Jun, have always had a good reputation, and I will never do those tricks that cut corners, and you were introduced by my cousin. If something goes wrong, this kid still has to scold you." kill me!"

Hu Qiang said loudly: "If something goes wrong, you deserve to be scolded!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled like this. When can we start work?"

Hu Jun simply said: "I'll have someone bring over the construction machinery and start working tomorrow morning!"

Zhao Lei said with satisfaction: "Then, Boss Hu, please take more care and try to finish the work as soon as possible."

For this kind of project, advance payment must be received. When Hu Jun made this request, Hu Qiang immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

Zhao Lei didn't mind this, so he transferred 3 yuan to Hu Jun first, as long as he started working as soon as possible.

Hu Jun kept his word. Early the next morning, he brought the engineering team to the construction site and started working.

A small excavator drove up the hillside and excavated the ground at the place designated by Zhao Lei to level the foundation for the future storage tank.Some workers came to the river to install water pumps and water pipes, so that in the future, Zhao Lei can easily pump water from the river and fill the storage tank with just a click of a switch.

Such a big movement also attracted the attention of the villagers. After inquiring, everyone found out that it was Zhao Lei who built the water storage tanks for the vegetable fields and orchards.

Everyone has different opinions on Zhao Lei's decision.

Some people think that Zhao Lei has ideas and courage. After the water storage tank is built, it will be of great benefit to the vegetable fields and orchards. It is a correct decision.

Some people think that Zhao Lei is just wasting money by doing this. He is a prodigal son for spending tens of thousands of dollars to build a water storage tank with less than six acres of land in total.

The one who most supports this statement is Xu Xiang, the only college student in the village.Knowing that Zhao Lei spent tens of thousands of dollars to build a drip irrigation system, this guy is also jealous and hateful.If it wasn't for the fact that his face was bruised and purple by Wang Xu and others and it was inconvenient to go out, Xu Xiang would have been running around the village to speak ill of Zhao Lei.

This incident also aroused the interest of the village head Wang Chenggang. After hearing about this incident, he habitually squinted his eyes and muttered to himself with a sneer: "Zhao Lei is so willing to spend the capital. Could it be possible that those few acres of land can really give us money?" He makes a lot of money? Hehe, it seems that we should pay more attention to this kid in the future. If there are really such big benefits...hehe!"

Zhao Lei doesn't care what other people think about this matter, he still builds the drip irrigation system according to his own ideas.Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is not worth spending tens of thousands of dollars to implement a drip irrigation system for several acres of land.But doing so can save a part of the fairy dew, which is very worthwhile for Zhao Lei.

Hu Jun is a real businessman. Although the price is not cheap, he has paid close attention to the quality and speed of construction.Whether it is building a water storage tank or a drip irrigation system, he has used the best materials, and personally supervised the site to prevent his workers from cutting corners and affecting the quality of the project.

At the same time, in order to ensure the completion of the project on time, Hu Jun also brought generators and lighting systems. The workers worked in shifts and did not rest even at night.

Since the boss is so attentive, the workers don't dare to be careless, and they all work hard.With the entire engineering team working together, the progress of the project was even faster than Zhao Lei hoped.In just one week, all the facilities, including the storage tank, were completed.

Even Hu Jun was very satisfied with this efficiency, and excitedly came to Zhao Lei to check and accept the project.

In all honesty, the entire drip irrigation system was built under Zhao Lei's supervision. Even without inspection and acceptance, he can know the general quality of the project.

For example, the pipes used for drip irrigation are all the best natural nitrile rubber. Zhao Lei checked on the Internet that this kind of rubber pipe can be used for at least five years.

The storage tank is even stronger, not only the foundation was dug very deep, but also a [-] cm thick cement base was poured, which is completely reassuring.

As for the pumps for pumping water, the switches for controlling the pipelines, etc., the best materials are also used.In recent years, there is no need to worry about damage at all.

Hu Jun introduced the situation of each facility to Zhao Lei in detail, and finally said to Zhao Lei seriously: "I have worked hard on this project, and there is no problem in terms of quality or construction period. In order to save face, I will at least charge you an extra 1 yuan in overtime pay."

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "I understand Boss Hu's meaning, this time I really trouble you."

Hu Jun is also a straightforward person, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "We are all friends, so there is no need to thank me. There will be other projects in the future, just remember to call me."

"Definitely." Zhao Lei nodded, and quickly asked Hu Jun: "By the way, if I want to use the three-acre orchard and turn it into a chicken farm, how much will it cost?"

Hu Jun made a calculation secretly in his heart, and quickly said to Zhao Lei: "The chicken farm doesn't need to be too troublesome, just build a fence, and it only costs 2 to [-] yuan."

Zhao Lei added: "The fence alone is not enough. I plan to raise pheasants, and it needs to be closed in all directions."

"In this case, the price will be higher." Hu Jun told Zhao Lei: "The fence should be at least two meters high. If it is fully enclosed, the cost will at least double. If the stainless steel grid that will not rust is used, the price will be even higher. Expensive."

Recently, Zhao Lei bought fruit trees, built a drip irrigation system, and borrowed a sum of money to Chen Lan. The income from selling ginseng was almost used up, and he had no money to rebuild the chicken farm.

After hearing Hu Jun's offer, Zhao Lei pondered and said, "I see, let's think about it first."

Hu Jun nodded, and said excitedly to Zhao Lei: "You have seen the entire drip irrigation system, let us try it out and see if it works!"
