"What treasures can be dug out from the sand? Old Patriarch, is this your backyard? Haven't you dug before?"
Xiaoshan was almost sober now. He said doubtfully, and picked up a few grains of sand from the mound:
"Is this a kind of shiny stone that is often found in the sand? I have seen this a lot, it is not a treasure, is it?"
When the old patriarch heard Xiaoshan's words, his face showed some disappointment.
They had made all kinds of speculations, and what Xiaoshan said now seemed to be true.
If you go to the river and turn over the sand, you will find a lot of shiny pebbles under the sun.
This is normal!
So the old patriarch didn't care about it. He turned to look at Arya, with some unhappiness in his eyes.
Erya snorted angrily: "I really brought Brother Zhang here to see the baby."
Erya's innocent and lovely performance makes people smile.
But Hua Yueying exclaimed in surprise:
"It's really a treasure. Maybe there is a gold mine underneath."
Hua Yueying's words had a profound impact on several people.
Even Xu Zijun showed a surprised expression:
"Gold mine? Are you kidding? There can be a gold mine in this place?"
Hua Yueying smiled confidently at Zhang Fan:
"Master, I'm not kidding. This is just the surface of the ore layer. If we dig deeper, we may really find gold."
"Gold? Is this true?"
The old patriarch’s eyes widened.
Xiao Shan, who was standing nearby, slapped his forehead and said:
"Yes, my teacher told me when I was in school that there are many rare minerals in the mountains behind us, but no one mines them because of the difficulty in transportation. How could I have forgotten this!"
People who heard the news also flocked here.
But Zhang Fan just nodded and didn't care about the so-called gold mine.
He was just curious about why it was glowing here, but he was not curious whether he could dig out treasure.
Now that Hua Yueying had given the answer, there was nothing surprising to him.
But for the old patriarch and others, it was a shocking event that turned the world upside down, and they didn't care about Erya's previous behavior of taking Zhang Fan home secretly.
The villagers were immediately summoned, and they rushed here and started digging with torches in hand.
When the villagers heard this, they thought there might be an exposed gold mine in the backyard of the old patriarch's house.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and they heard that these were the words said by the beautiful girl next to Zhang Fan herself.
This credibility suddenly soared.
Everybody came here to dig.
The villagers worked together and almost dug down the wall of the old patriarch's backyard.
However, when they dug about a meter deep, someone exclaimed and held up a few gold particles to show everyone.
This confirmed what Hua Yueying said before.
Arya was no longer blamed. Instead, she was regarded as a great hero by everyone, which made her cheeks turn red with excitement.
However, it didn't take long for everyone to get excited, and the old patriarch sighed.
"This gold mine was discovered by Miss Hua, who works for Mr. Zhang. And the forest behind us has been sold to Mr. Zhang."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding villagers were stunned.
The old patriarch turned his head bitterly, only to see Zhang Fan and Hua Yueying, who were already in the front yard!
The old patriarch then remembered that there were no street lights on the street, and Zhang Fan probably wanted to go back to the center of the village.
Accompanied by the old patriarch, he brought Zhang Fan to the center of the village of Baijiayan. At this time, the old patriarch was a little hesitant.
"Mr. Zhang Fan, I also want to thank you for helping us discover the gold mine."
Zhang Fan smiled slightly, then turned around and waved his hand nonchalantly:
"Old Patriarch, you are too polite, this is just something we discovered.
Hua Yueying just reminded you that the gold mines and treasures mined all belong to the villagers and to you.
If you have any concerns, before the contract is signed, you can take back the mountain behind you, but you have to sell the valley to me."
When the old patriarch heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude and fell to the ground and kowtowed heavily to Zhang Fan on the spot.
"Mr. Zhang Fan, you are such a kind person. This gold mine is of great importance, but you don't care about it at all. This is really noble and has brought great benefits to the villagers in our village."
Hua Yueying giggled:
"Old Patriarch, you don't have to be so polite. The master never cares about these little things. You just need to give us the best ingredients as agreed."
The villagers nearby were secretly amazed, this is a gold mine.
Even when the old patriarch sent Zhang Fan and others to rest, the villagers still felt like they were floating on clouds.
Such a big thing seems like a small matter in Mr. Zhang's eyes.
More importantly, if Hua Yueying hadn't told everyone that there was a gold mine here, and they had signed the contract tomorrow and leased the mountain behind it, it would have belonged to them.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan didn't care about these things at all. Instead, he kindly reminded them. He was really a kind man and made the villagers rich.
"Good man, this is a great good man!"
"Luckily we met Mr. Zhang. If we had met anyone else, we wouldn't have gotten any benefit from such a huge gold mine."
"Everyone, hurry up and raise some money to buy this mine. When we develop something, we can share it with everyone."
At this time, the old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Fan walk into the house with a smile.
Although a gold mine is good, it is useless if nothing can be mined.
The people in their village placed all their hopes on Zhang Fan.
If Zhang Fan is displeased and others are unwilling to invest or build roads, then all our efforts would be in vain.
But I didn't expect that Zhang Fan was so generous and willing to give up this mine. There are definitely not many good people like him.
"Brother Zhang, why did you give up such a large mine?"
Xu Zijun said jokingly.
Zhang Fan and Hua Yueying smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart at all.
After all, with the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth there, this small piece of mine is not worth mentioning at all.
Just taking the 800-li Flaming Mountain as an example, if you want gold, Hua Yueying only needs to use the banana fan and the ground will be covered with gold in minutes.
What’s more important is that Zhang Fan has no shortage of money now, and even how to spend it is a problem.
Having such an opportunity to help these poor mountain villagers is a great thing, so why should we take it to heart?
Xu Zijun understood what Zhang Fan meant. He scratched his head, thinking that he had asked a stupid question, and insisted that the midnight snack must be a heartier one.
After all, outside the mountains, game is readily available, and it would be a waste if so many good ingredients could not be eaten.
Just at this time, Rong Zhikang called and brought some good news.
