Chapter 515 Noble Stone!

Zhuang Buyuan's first idea was to dig a tunnel.

After all, all the previous stone materials came from tunnels.

But the problem is that there are currently no tunnels to be dug in Xucheng, and the reason why tunnels were dug so fast and at such low cost before was all because Zhuang Buyuan directly used empty grass for transportation.

If the hollow grass is not used, the stone used in a pyramid is about 2.7 million cubic meters, and a large truck with a load of 40 tons will have to pull it 200,000 times! Even if it is overloaded to 200 tons, it will still take 50,000 trains to pull it!

Not to mention how long it takes to transport so many cars, depending on the route, this is at least hundreds of millions or even more than a billion in transportation costs!

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked. No wonder building a tunnel is so expensive.

However, the number of empty-containing grasses is not unlimited. Zhuang Buyuan only has 100 empty-containing grass seeds in total. Each time he builds another courtyard, three seeds are consumed, so the stock is not much at all.

During these two tunnel digs, Zhuang Buyuan took advantage of the opportunity to build a separate courtyard in the manor. In the future, the upgrade will become slower and slower, and the opportunities to build additional courtyards will become less and less. So what should we do?

But... we have money, why don’t we buy, buy, buy?

After all, the initial payment of 10 billion is still in Zhuang Buyuan's account, and the subsequent more than 20 billion will also be paid one after another. Zhuang Buyuan feels that he will not be short of money in a short time.

If you want to buy stone, who should you contact?

Thinking of the last time he was banned by Huanzhou, Zhuang Buyuan felt that since he had such a high influence in the supply chain, it was right to turn to Jia Yelian.

After receiving a call from Zhuang Buyuan, Jia Yelian frowned and said: "Mr. Zhuang, do you want stone? Or do you want stone with such a large length, width and height? This kind of high-end stone is not easy to buy. I still have some stock here, otherwise I will give you some first. ?”

"High-end stone?" Zhuang Buyuan was a little confused. What's so high-end about stone? "I want about 10 million tons..."

"How much?" Jia Yelian shouted, "Do you think there is a mountain in my house?"

"Is it too much?" Zhuang Buyuan still didn't quite understand, "Isn't the stone quite cheap..."

"It's not just too much! You can't even bring out this much even if you kill me!" Jia Yelian almost cursed, "The cheap ones are stones!"

"The kind of stone you want is five meters long and about two meters high and wide. That is already a very high-end stone, right?"

"Not to mention that natural stone is a non-renewable and precious resource. Large and complete stones are originally very scarce. Simply speaking, they are brittle and hard, making it difficult to mine and transport, and there are various gaps and cracks inside. There are very few faults that can be used. The requirements for processing and transportation of your kind of stone are really too high. A good one cubic meter will cost more than 10,000 yuan. If you want such a big piece, you can get it. In a small county, maybe you can get a new house!"

Zhuang Buyuan calculated the price.

If the unit price is 10,000 yuan per cubic meter, each piece of stone cut by Daniel costs about 310,000 yuan. Isn’t it almost enough to buy a house in a small county?

"Last time when a new villa area was opened for sale, I fell in love with a huge street sign. I finally spent a lot of money to buy it, but when the workers brought it to me, it broke on the road! It broke!"

"Another time, I fell in love with a big stone and planned to put it in the living room. Who would have thought that the workers broke off a corner for me! A corner!"

"These days, man-made things are not expensive, and the most expensive ones are natural things!"

Amid Jia Yelian's roar, Zhuang Buyuan hung up the phone dully.

Looking back at those pyramids, what came to Zhuang Buyuan's mind was not pyramids one after another, nor rows of stones.

But a house, a house, and a house...

And with all my assets, I can only buy 32,000 yuan!

Damn, how extravagant am I?

Zhuang Buyuan added the amount with his hand.

Thinking again about the huge pyramid in Blue Stone Leaf Manor, Zhuang Buyuan felt that he was worthy of being a city-state-level manor owner to build such a big pyramid!

No wonder the manor owners are so obsessed with stone. It turns out that stone is not an outdated material. On the contrary, it is much more noble than Zhuang Buyuan imagined!

This is probably the feeling of a little girl on the street who suddenly transforms into an upper-class socialite.

But there is no stone, what can we do?

Zhuang Buyuan frowned and went out, thinking about a question in his mind...

In Blue Stone Leaf Manor, there are no mountains not far away from the village. So, how were those huge pyramids in Blue Stone Leaf Manor built?

Was it transported from outside the manor?

Even for the manor owner, this is too difficult and the cost is too high. Have you overlooked something?

Walking out of his master room, Zhuang saw not far away that Zhuang's father was sitting under the maple tree. Beside him were squatting Little Dot, Gateda, Daniu, Erniu, Xiaoguai, and even Xiaofu stood up from the tree. Hang upside down and gather around Dad Zhuang.

It is so strange for these demon kings in the manor to be together so peacefully without fighting or quarreling.

Before Zhuang Buyuan asked, he smelled a strong sweet smell.

"It tastes so sweet. Dad, aren't you going to entertain the winemakers? Why aren't you in the winery and why are you here?"

"Son, come on, it's delicious!" Dad Zhuang waved to Zhuang Buyuan. Zhuang Buyuan walked over in confusion and saw a small stove placed in front of Dad Zhuang.

In the small pot on the stove, amber liquid was rolling, and the sweet smell came from here.

"What is this?" Zhuang Buyuan wondered.

"Maple syrup!" Dad Zhuang said cheerfully, "Today a guest from the Maple Leaf State came and said that maple syrup is very delicious when mixed with wine, so I plan to try it and see if I can make wine with maple syrup. "

"I didn't expect these little guys to smell the smell and come running over. They are all greedy little cats!"

As he said that, Zhuang's father took a small spoon, scooped a little from the pot, blew it to cool it, and dropped it into Zhuang Buyuan's mouth.

"Hoo ho, it's so hot, so sweet, so delicious!" Zhuang Buyuan immediately squatted in front of Dad Zhuang.

"Brother, owner of the village, here it is!" A small bucket was placed in front of Xiaodiandian. She scooped out a large amount of shaved ice from it and put it in a bowl and handed it to Zhuang Buyuan, "It's delicious when you pour it on!"

Sweets always have an irresistible charm, and these are sweets produced in the manor.

The maple trees in the manor are originally sugar maple trees, which are the most suitable tree species for producing maple syrup. Although there is no winter in the manor, the maple syrup produced is only relatively light, but still tastes great.

Zhuang's father boiled maple syrup under the maple tree for a long time, but in the end he only took away the bottom of the pot, and the rest went into Zhuang Buyuan's belly.

"I'm going to gain weight today." Zhuang Buyuan rubbed his belly and walked towards the room with satisfaction.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

etc……

I seemed to be troubled by something just now...

The maple syrup produced at the manor is so delicious, wow wow, I really want to eat it again...

Ah, no, maple syrup? Maple sugar?

Zhuang Buyuan suddenly widened his eyes and thought of something.
