Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Feng peeled away the soil layer by layer. After removing a third of it, a somewhat dark yellow object surfaced.

Before Chen Feng could even reach out, someone exclaimed from the side, "Holy crap, it's gold! It looks like real gold!"

"Quick, pick it up and take a look! It really looks like gold!"

"It's not small, damn it!"

Chen Feng reached out and picked up the small gold piece, wiped the dirt off it, and ran it through the detector.

The detector emitted a "whoosh" sound, confirming that it was indeed the one.

"Is this really gold?"

"I don't know, this is the first time I've ever seen it!"

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen wild gold. This must be a nugget."

When Liu Ping saw what Chen Feng was holding, she couldn't help but exclaim with delight, "Fengzi, is this gold?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Yes."

He's already looted so much gold, he definitely wouldn't be mistaken, especially with the system helping to corroborate his claims.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's affirmative answer, the crowd gasped in surprise once again.

"It's real gold! You're rich now!"

"How much is such a large piece of gold worth? Must it be several thousand?"

"My God, I can find gold while working in the fields! How can this be fair?"

"Fengzi, how much is this actually worth?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng weighed the gold in his hand and said with a smile, "It's probably around 1,200 or 1,300. This kind of gold nugget has to be burned at a jewelry store, and about one-third of it is lost, so it's not as valuable as you think."

Those around him sighed in disbelief, with one exclaiming, "It's not even worth that much! Twelve or thirteen thousand! My goodness!"

"Exactly, what more could you want? This is already quite a lot. I'd be ecstatic if I could find a hundred or two hundred pieces of gold."

Liu Ming watched from the side with mixed feelings. He hadn't said a word since Chen Feng's detector went off.

He had previously said that Chen Feng used the detector to avoid being caught, and that there was no gold in the ground.

To his surprise, there really was gold in the ground, and he actually found it.

One pill costs 1,200 or 1,300 yuan, which is more than half a month's salary for his son.

Compared to this piece of gold, his son's salary increase was negligible.

Although Chen Feng lost the bid yesterday, he made it all back today.

While everyone was still marveling at the gold, Liu Ming picked up his hoe and silently began to work.

He no longer knew how to face Chen Feng and his older sister.

The main problem is that the slap in the face came so quickly that it's embarrassing just thinking about it. He even wishes he could dig a hole and bury himself in it right now.

Chen Feng carefully put the gold into his pocket, then took the detector and said to his mother, "Mom, you guys get back to work. I'll go check other places and see if there's any more stock."

He said this mainly to others through his mother.

After all, those people are hired for fifty a day. What's the point of you bragging that I don't work? The money is just wasted.

And he really wanted to go see other places, because if there was one, there might be a second.

"Alright, alright, you go ahead, you don't need to do this." Liu Ping couldn't stop smiling. Who would have thought there would be gold in her land? It was a miracle!

When the people around heard Chen Feng say that, they all picked up their hoes and started working.

After all, no one is stupid; they can all understand what Chen Feng meant by saying that they've already taken half a day to rest here, which is quite considerate.

Chen Feng held the detector and pretended to probe left and right, but in reality he just kept walking forward, waiting for the system to give him a response.

Chen Feng walked back and forth around the area, and it could be said that he was the busiest among all the people there.

Unfortunately, after walking for two hours, Chen Feng's system still didn't ring. Around noon, Liu Ping waved and said, "I'm going home to cook. I'll call you when the food is ready."

Everyone nodded in agreement, saying that it was fine, and besides, they were all hungry after working all morning.

That's how it is when they recruit workers in the village. They usually provide lunch, but not dinner.

Chen Feng was also a little tired from walking, so he prepared to go home and help his mother cook. After all, cooking for more than ten people was no small task.

Before leaving, he went to his uncle's side and said, "Uncle, go home and rest for a while."

Liu Ming was there to help out; he and his sister didn't need to pay, so Chen Feng thought he should let him rest for a while.

"No need, Fengzi, you can go home and help your mom cook. I'll stay and work with them for a while longer," Liu Ming said quickly upon hearing this.

He really didn't want to be alone with Chen Feng and the other guy right now; the thought of it was just too awkward. It was much better here.

"Okay, I'll call you when the food is ready." Chen Feng took out a cigarette and lit one for his uncle.

Liu Ming took a drag of his cigarette and nodded, indicating that he should go back.

Chen Feng put away his cigarette and walked back home, soon arriving home one after the other with Liu Ping.

"I'll cook the rice first. You go to the grocery store and buy some dried tofu and cucumbers to make a cold dish later. I'll also stew some potatoes, green beans, and meat. That'll be two dishes," Liu Ping planned.

"Okay." Chen Feng unloaded his equipment, took a sip of water, and then took the cash to the grocery store.

Although he has money in WeChat, he plans to spend all the cash first, as carrying cash around is too cumbersome.

Before leaving, Chen Feng made a point of putting the gold into his small bottle and placing it in the house, lest it fall out of his pocket and be ruined.

We soon arrived at Old Zhang's house, where he ran a small vegetable shop in the village.

As soon as you enter, you see Old Zhang sitting at the small bar, and the room is filled with all kinds of dishes.

"Fengzi's here. Usually, it's your mom who comes," Old Zhang greeted him with a smile.

"She's staying home and not eating, so I came to buy some groceries." Chen Feng looked around to see where the cucumbers were.

"Okay, pick whatever you like and look around," Old Zhang said, waving his hand.

"Give me ten sheets of dried tofu and four bags of cold noodles," Chen Feng said as he picked up the cucumbers, seeing them.

"You bought so much, did someone come to your house?" Old Zhang asked curiously.

“My uncle hired someone to till the land at my house,” Chen Feng replied.

"Oh, no wonder you bought so much. It's like you guys planned it all together today."

"If you had come any later, all the dried tofu would have been sold out," Old Zhang said with a smile, counting out ten sheets of dried tofu.

"Who knows?" Chen Feng walked over and said with a smile.

After weighing everything, Old Zhang calculated and said, "It's thirteen in total."

After saying that, he handed Chen Feng a bunch of cilantro as a gift.

"Okay." Chen Feng took out the money and handed it to Old Zhang, then carried the groceries home.

"Let me cut it for you." Chen Feng washed his hands and took out the dried tofu to prepare for slicing.

"Just leave the chopping to me to mix." Liu Ping was worried that Chen Feng's hands weren't sure of the proper technique and that he might not add the seasonings correctly.

"By the way, your uncle thought you were going to run away, and he gave me a good scolding," Liu Ping said with a smile while picking vegetables.

"No wonder he didn't say a word just now, so that's why." Chen Feng chuckled.
