"Why did it take you so long to buy a pack of cigarettes? Did Lu Dahai roll them for you right away?" Huang Fei's father said, looking at Huang Fei who had just walked in, even though he had almost finished his meal.
Huang Fei's family all lived together, including his parents, grandparents, and so on, making it a particularly lively place.
"Oh dear, after chatting with them for a while, they kept asking me if it was true that Chen Feng earned 1,700 yuan." Huang Fei sat down at the table and picked up his rice bowl, which was now a little cold.
"What? Chen Feng made 1,700 today?" Huang Fei's grandfather asked incredulously.
"Of course! I saw it with my own eyes. Isn't it a coincidence? I just happened to run the gold over with my car. Damn it."
"If I had a detector, the gold would be mine," Huang Fei said with considerable regret.
“That’s their money, no matter how much you try to suppress it, it won’t work,” Huang Fei’s father snorted.
"Dad, this thing really makes money! 1,700 a day. I only make 50 or 60 a day driving. Why don't I buy one too? Let's ask them about it."
"The fact that I can put gold under my car proves that I still have the talent to do this job," Huang Fei said, tempted.
"You should just give up. Do whatever you can. Driving a car all day is fine. Don't be tempted just because others make money. He might earn 1,700 today, but he might not earn a penny tomorrow."
“Isn’t this line of work inherently unstable?” Huang Fei’s father disagreed.
"No, I'm just dropping them off anyway, so buying a detector to check things out is a piece of cake. Besides, I don't even have to pay for the ride, and I'll make fifteen yuan more."
"Don't you think that makes sense?" Huang Fei felt that his plan was flawless and perfect.
"Actually, that's fine too. Otherwise, we'd have to send them off anyway. This way, we can come back with them and save ourselves the trouble of running back and forth. Wouldn't that be better?"
"Even if we don't earn that much, earning an extra five or six hundred a month would be fine, wouldn't it?" Huang Fei's mother thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement.
"Stop supporting him. He thinks he's so capable, but he has no patience for anything. The machine will cost several thousand, and he'll quit before he even earns back the money."
Huang Fei's father had long seen through Huang Fei's character.
He's just jealous because Chen Feng is making money. If Chen Feng hadn't made money, he wouldn't have taken him along even if you asked him to.
"No, you don't trust me at all. Even if I earn an extra twenty yuan a day, it's still free money, isn't it?"
"No way, I'm going to buy the machine right now, and I'll go explore with them tomorrow." Huang Fei couldn't contain his excitement and put down his chopsticks to go to Han Jian's house to get the same set as Chen Feng.
"No, come back here!"
"Let's discuss this some more! Why do you always have to do things right away?" Huang Fei's father was furious, pointing at Huang Fei, who was about to leave, with his chopsticks in hand.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely last long. I'll bring you a piece of gold tomorrow." Huang Fei waved his hand, went upstairs to get the money, and ran out.
"Damn it, how did I raise such a beast?" Huang Fei's father slammed down his chopsticks and cursed angrily.
“Actually, if he can do it long enough, it’s not a bad thing,” Huang Fei’s mother said after thinking for a moment.
“I know he can work long-term, but the key is that your son won’t last long. He’ll have to come back to sleep in less than three days. Look at what I’m saying,” Huang Fei’s father said confidently.
"Not necessarily. What if the child grows up and becomes more sensible?" Huang Fei's grandfather also advised from the side.
At least you know that doing more work is a good thing, isn't it?
"Your grandson will never be sensible in his entire life." Huang Fei's father knew Huang Fei all too well and said with a sneer.
Huang Fei had already arrived at Han Jianguo's farm machinery shop. There were two or three people chatting inside, and Han Jianguo was packing up his things. It looked like he was going to sleep soon.
"Old Han, get me a metal detector, exactly the same one as Chen Feng's," Huang Fei shouted as he entered the room.
"What's going on? Weren't you driving them around? Are you going to pan for gold too?" Han Jianguo asked curiously.
What's going on lately? Why are all these people suddenly thinking about striking it rich?
"Absolutely! You wouldn't believe it, Chen Feng earned 1,700 today, and he even found that piece of gold under my car!"
"Do you think I'm rich or not? I was born to do this. Driving is just a waste of my talent," Huang Fei said enthusiastically.
"What did you say? Chen Feng earned 1,700 today?" Han Jianguo's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, and he said in utter surprise.
He had previously said that Chen Feng didn't look like someone who was trying to strike it rich, and that he was probably just playing around.
Unexpectedly, I made 1,700 yuan on the first day. If I keep doing this for a few more days, I'll have already made back the cost of the machine.
"Do you have any machines like Chen Feng's?" Huang Fei urged, looking at the astonished Han Jianguo.
"Yes, yes, yes, come with me to the warehouse." Han Jianguo snapped out of his daze upon hearing this and beckoned to him.
To be honest, he had to thank Chen Feng. If Huang Fei hadn't been so tempted by Chen Feng's profits, he really wouldn't have been able to sell another machine.
"Look, this is the same machine as Chen Feng's, even the color is exactly the same," Han Jianguo said to Huang Fei, picking up a machine.
Huang Fei took it and looked at it. It did seem to be the same as Chen Feng's, so he nodded.
“Okay, the rest is the same as Chen Feng’s. Just give me whatever he buys,” Huang Fei said, waving his hand.
"Okay, he also bought a black backpack and a small shovel..."
"These two glass bottles are exactly the same as his. This bottle is for you." Han Jianguo quickly gathered them up for him and handed them to him.
"Okay." Huang Fei didn't even look at it carefully; as long as it was the same as Chen Feng's, that was fine.
The two returned to the store carrying their purchases, and Han Jianguo picked up a calculator and began calculating the prices.
"The detector is 2600, the backpack is 120, I'll give you a 100 discount, and the shovel is 10..."
"A total of two thousand seven hundred and one."
Last time, Chen Feng spent a total of 2,630 yuan, while Huang Fei spent 2,710 yuan on the same thing.
Huang Fei rarely haggles when buying things; if he does, he simply asks, "Can you make it cheaper?"
"cannot."
The conversation ended there.
Logically speaking, since they're all from the same village, it wouldn't look good if they sold things at two different prices.
But Han Jianguo didn't care about those things; his priority was making money. He'd deal with the rest later.
Upon hearing that he was being given a 20-yuan discount, Huang Fei immediately took out his money and said, "Thank you."
"Oh, you're welcome." Han Jianguo accepted the money with a smile.
"I hope you strike it rich tomorrow!" Han Jianguo said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind words!" Huang Fei said happily.
After Huang Fei left, Han Jianguo leaned on the counter, his eyes filled with surprise.
