Chapter 562 Negotiating the Price and Building a Cable Car
Several people sat at the table, and Lu Xingchen spread out his planning drawings: "Master Ba Wu, take a look, is this plan easy to build?"
Ba Wu's lips curled up slightly.
This was the first time someone had called him a master.
Although it didn't live up to its name, he enjoyed it immensely.
This Lu Xingchen is different from the rumors; he's not cunning and is actually quite honest.
Just from the fact that he returned the tools and gave me gloves, we can tell that this person is actually quite reliable.
At least they showed some sincerity.
Ba Wu likes this kind of person.
Huh? He was taken aback. He actually thought Lu Xingchen was a good person?
That's strange, why would I have such a thought?
Ba Wu couldn't understand it, so he stopped thinking about it.
He looked at the planning map and nodded: "The planning is good. I will expand on the construction details based on this map, and we will discuss it again later."
Lu Xingchen quickly asked, "I wonder what materials are needed to build the market, how many people are needed, and what other supplies are required? I can make arrangements in advance..."
Ba Wu: "We can discuss what materials you need. We can purchase them for you, or you can purchase them yourself. However, there are many types and quantities of materials needed, so I estimate it will be difficult for you to collect them on your own."
Ji Twenty-Three suddenly interjected: "You can ask Fifth Uncle to help with the purchase. He can get a lower price. Moreover, the reason why Fifth Uncle has a good reputation is because he doesn't inflate prices or cheat. Lu Xingchen, you don't need to worry about this at all."
Lu Xingchen readily agreed: "Okay, no problem. Then please take good care of me, Master Ba Wu."
It’s right to listen to Ji Twenty-three.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that her clumsy acting and the random throwing of some tools managed to change Ba Wu's attitude is enough to tell us that.
Ba Wu is a simple person.
Hearing Lu Xingchen's words, Ba Wu felt a little more at ease.
Not bad, you're smart enough!
He nodded: "Okay, but we've never built such a large market before. You might need to gather some manpower, and if you have any special needs, you might need to collect the supplies yourself."
Lu Xingchen: "How long will it take to complete the construction?"
Ba Wu did the math: "One month!"
No, it takes too long.
Lu Xingchen: "Can you do it within 10 days?"
She only had 15 days to complete the construction, so in order to finish the task, she had to bring the time forward again.
Ba Wu frowned: "How is that possible!"
Impossible? Then why did the game give her this time setting? Was it deliberately making things difficult for her?
Lu Xingchen didn't have time to think too much and could only ask Ba Wu: "Okay, I want to finish the project within 12 days. How can I do that? Gather materials and recruit people. I can arrange it as soon as possible."
Ji Twenty-Three spoke up, "Fifth Uncle, what do you think we could do to move the time forward a bit? For example... if there were any tools that could improve efficiency?"
Ba Wu's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "That axe, unless you give me that axe... no, just lend it to me."
He really wanted the dwarven battle axe, but he couldn't find a reason to, so he had to borrow it.
He would be overjoyed even if he could just borrow it for a moment.
That's a legendary battle axe!
Of course, it would be better if he could snatch it, but Lu Xingchen had done so much that Ba Wu's impression of her had changed, so he didn't really want to snatch it anymore.
Besides, with Ji Twenty-Three and Forty-Nine here, he felt embarrassed to take it.
Lu Xingchen smiled to himself.
The reason she deliberately let Ba Wu touch the dwarf battle axe was actually as bait.
If it weren't for this, Ba Wu probably wouldn't have agreed to help so easily.
She nodded: "Okay, if you can guarantee it will be completed within 12 days, I can give you a few days' use."
Ba Wu, whose wish had been fulfilled, immediately nodded: "No problem, I'll try my best!"
Now it's time to talk about the price.
This is the most crucial issue, and also the one that Lu Xingchen cares about most.
Ji Twenty-Three first flattered Ba Wu: "Lu Xingchen, you don't need to worry about Uncle Wu asking for exorbitant prices. As I said, Uncle Wu has an excellent reputation, and his prices have always been very fair!"
Lu Xingchen immediately followed up: "I noticed it a long time ago. Master Ba Wu is not only highly skilled in architecture, but also a kind person. He has always taken good care of poor people like me..."
Ba Yiba said proudly: "Of course, my fifth brother sometimes builds houses for people for free!"
Xiluo Weiwei: "Really? Fifth brother is really a living Bodhisattva!"
Ba Wu: ...
