After they finished speaking, the two of them started shopping again, and this time it was Zheng Ping's detector that went off.
He didn't know if it was because he was shopping with Chen Feng, but his luck had improved today. He was getting a new item every few minutes, much more frequently than usual.
He squatted down, took out the shovel, and muttered, "Gold, gold, gold."
As he shoveled through the detector, Zheng Ping wondered if he could find a large piece of gold on the last day.
It doesn't need to be much, just worth four figures. If he could find one, he wouldn't sell it right away, but take it home to show Mao Min and make her happy.
As he dug a hole in front of him, the detector next to Zheng Ping beeped. He shook off some dirt and passed it to the detector.
Soon, only a third of the soil remained in the shovel. Zheng Ping started searching with his hands, and when he saw the silver grain, he was not disappointed, but rather quite satisfied.
As long as it's not scrap metal, it's fine to keep panning for silver nuggets.
Estimating the silver nugget was worth about forty yuan, Zheng Ping took out a small bottle from the side of his bag and put the silver nugget inside.
"What is that? Is it gold?!"
Zheng Ping had just stood up when he heard Chen Feng shouting behind him.
Turning around, he saw Chen Feng standing there with the detector in his hand, looking at him with curiosity, not even bothering to shop anymore.
Seeing this, Zheng Ping chuckled, somewhat helplessly, "Why are you staring at me like that? Why don't you go and find your own stuff?"
What's the point of staring at me all this time? Why are you so curious?
"Forty yuan is not bad!"
Zheng Ping shook the bottle at him and shouted loudly. Just then, a gust of wind blew, and the two were a bit far apart.
He had to shout at the top of his lungs for Chen Feng to hear what he was saying.
"Forty, that's not bad. You're lucky today!" Chen Feng covered his eyes with his hand and replied in a loud voice.
"It's really good, thanks to you!" Zheng Ping cupped his hands around his mouth like a megaphone.
After saying that, the two continued browsing for goods.
And so it went until noon, and both of them had made quite a haul. Seeing that it was almost time, Zheng Ping waved to Chen Feng, and the two of them ate together.
"I found over three hundred yuan this morning, what a great day!" Zheng Ping shouted loudly, perhaps because he was used to shouting today, even with Chen Feng next to him.
"Hey, keep your voice down, I can hear you," Chen Feng said loudly, covering his ears.
"I'm used to shouting like this, cough cough." Zheng Ping felt a little uncomfortable in his throat and couldn't help but cough.
Zheng Ping had scallion pancakes for lunch, while Chen Feng took out bread, asked Zheng Ping for a scallion, and stuck it in his bread, creating a fusion of traditional and modern styles.
"Thank goodness I've been cooking dinner these past few nights, otherwise I wouldn't have had enough pancakes," Zheng Ping said, looking at the few pancakes he had left.
"Didn't you bring more?" Chen Feng asked upon seeing this.
"I thought a big bag of pancakes would be enough, but I didn't expect that there would be so little left after cooking dinner. I guess I'm hungry because I'm not well-fed," Zheng Ping said, taking a bite of a pancake.
That's true, Chen Feng felt it deeply.
Back when he was at home, Chen Feng would only eat two small bowls of rice per meal, and he would have some meat with every meal, so he wouldn't get hungry so quickly.
Even ham sausages are considered meat here. Chen Feng could finish a whole box of claypot rice at night, and even felt empty in the morning.
It just goes to show that people really can't live without oil and fat; you can't just eat whatever you need to survive.
Next time he comes, he'll have to find a way to get some meat, even just some jerky, otherwise it's not just his craving that's bothering him, his health will suffer too.
Chen Feng took out two sausages from his bag and handed one to Zheng Ping.
He still has four or five sausages left. He'll go home tonight and share them.
Zheng Ping took the sausage and rolled it into a pancake, this time putting the sausage inside.
After taking a bite, Zheng Ping couldn't help but nod.
A little bit of meat makes a pancake taste much better than a dry, bland one.
After eating, the two rested for a while before continuing their shopping spree.
The shouts of the two men echoed across the land from time to time.
"Fengzi, what is that?!"
"Worthless, just a tiny silver coin!"
"Brother Zheng, what did you find?"
"Don't even mention it, it's garbage...!"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng calculated his income for the day.
The gold pieces weren't very large; the biggest one was probably worth about 1,800 yuan.
The total income was around five thousand, which is not as good as usual.
Further ahead, there is a crater that looks like it was hit by a meteorite, but it's not as steep.
Chen Feng looked around and went straight in. The deepest part of the pit was about half a meter above the outside.
He went to the very center and curiously kicked it with his foot, wondering why there was a dent there.
Could it be that the miners at that time dug it?
There wasn't much inside; he could see it all at a glance. Just as he was about to leave the pit, the system gave him a notification.
"bite!"
“There is precious metal within a three-meter radius of the host!”
Chen Feng chuckled upon hearing the sound. Sure enough, the stranger the location, the faster the goods would be shipped.
Next time, I'll deliberately go to those hidden corners; who knows, I might find something there.
This time, he didn't even bother to look around. He just grabbed the detector and started probing in the pit, figuring the goods were definitely there anyway.
Chen Feng explored in circles around the pit, walking several times, and suddenly felt like he was pulling a millstone.
Hopefully, I can pull out a big load.
"Ooh-woo~"
The detector sounded, indicating that the cargo wasn't in the center of the pit, but rather to the side.
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Feng squatted down, took out a small shovel, and began shoveling the goods.
Perhaps because the area had already been dug up once, Chen Feng found it particularly easy to dig in; there weren't many loose stones in the soil, and each scoop yielded a large shovelful of earth.
Chen Feng scooped up a shovelful of soil, ran it over the detector, and when it didn't go off, he dumped the soil aside and scooped up another shovelful.
With one shovelful after another, a pit soon appeared in front of Chen Feng.
After an unknown number of shovelfuls, the detector went off.
"Ooh-woo~"
Chen Feng picked up the shovel of soil, shook it gently, and continued to pass it through the detector.
When only half the soil remained in the shovel, Chen Feng stretched out two fingers and stirred them in the shovel to see where the goods were.
This time, Chen Feng was quick. He reached out and touched something that felt like a commodity. He picked it up with two fingers.
He picked out a small, dark yellow piece, and Chen Feng immediately beamed with joy upon seeing it.
Although this gold nugget isn't as big as the previous one, it's still pretty good. Chen Feng estimates it's worth over a thousand, which is quite good.
Before he could take a closer look, he heard a voice coming from afar.
"Fengzi, where are you?!"
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Feng felt a little guilty and quickly put the gold nuggets into the bottle, then stood up with the detector in his hand.
"I'm here!" Chen Feng shouted.
"Holy crap, what are you doing in the pit? What kind of stuff is that?" Zheng Ping shouted loudly when he saw Chen Feng standing up, as he was standing at a distance.
"Nothing here, just trash!" Chen Feng said, stepping out of the pit and glancing back.
He dug out a small pit in the big pit, giving Chen Feng a feeling of nesting dolls.
