Chapter 282: Ordered Water Turbines
Seeing that Xu Xiang and the carpenter had finished negotiating the price, Huan Yun handed over the blueprints to the carpenter and said, "We need five water turbines. Big Brother, how long did it take you to make them?"
This time, when the carpenter heard that five water turbines were needed, he was stunned. Five water turbines of this size would cost at least five hundred taels of silver, but Huan Yun could casually say that she wanted five of them.
As a former worker in the county town, the carpenter also met several wealthy merchants in the past, and those merchants were equally casual when talking about buying expensive things like Huan Yun right now.
The carpenter glanced at Huan Yun’s beautiful dress, then at Xu Xiang’s coarse cloth. Judging by the quality of their clothes, it should be the beautiful lady in the high quality clothes who pays for the water turbine.
Thinking of this, the carpenter took the water turbine blueprint from Huan Yun and said politely: "It will be completed within five days."
Xu Xiang and Huan Yun exchanged a glance, and both of them knew that they needed the water turbine before they could start their plan. Moreover, they don’t know when Xiao Shao will come back. If he comes back tomorrow, then they can only cancel this plan since following Xiao Shao is their top priority for now.
Xu Xiang looked at the carpenter and asked, "Can it be finished tomorrow? I can pay you more."
The carpenter was taken aback again, but quickly said, "I can finish five turbines tomorrow, but I need to hire more people, and I must start working now."
Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Then let’s start now."
