Chapter 358 - 358 357 Burden
?Chapter 358: Chapter 357: Burden Chapter 358: Chapter 357: Burden Richard walked into the courtyard and opened the gate.
He saw outside the gate, Alex, as squat as a winter melon, standing there with a smile plastered across his face. Behind Alex were several horse-drawn carriages, all loaded with goods, and a number of laborers waiting for orders.
Seeing Richard, the light in Alex’s eyes brightened, and then he rubbed his hands together and said, “My dearest friend—Lord Richard, I’ve obtained all the goods for you this time. However, I must say, some parts were quite difficult to procure. I really exerted myself. I…”
“I’ll add ten percent to your price,” Richard said simply.
“Great!” Alex’s dense eyes widened, and he laughed like a two-hundred-pound child, “Great, I knew Lord Richard would never let me down!”
With that, Alex turned his head, waved his hand quickly at the laborers behind him, and shouted, “Hurry up, don’t dawdle, quickly move the goods into Lord Richard’s place.”
“Yes!”
The laborers didn’t dare to slack off and hurried into action, carrying boxes down from the carriages and into the courtyard. Knowing the boxes contained glassware, they were exceptionally careful, gently placing them on the ground.
After the boxes were moved, the laborers began to carry in one iron barrel after another, each incredibly thick and sturdy. The barrels were cylindrical, about eighty to ninety centimeters tall, with a diameter of more than twenty centimeters. The mouths of the barrels had been specially treated so that once sealed, nothing inside them would leak. Furthermore, to meet Richard’s need for durability, the walls of the barrels were remarkably thick. Each iron barrel was like a cannonball, requiring several men to lift. With great difficulty, they carried it into the courtyard, and upon releasing their grip, the barrels immediately smashed into the ground, creating a deep pit.
