One person picked up a large pot, filled it with water, and started boiling it; another person took a sealed container and sat on the gas stove.
Chen Feng had instant noodles for breakfast, and he really didn't want to eat them again.
Chen Feng went back to the car to get some rice, found the rice cooker, and cooked some rice. After they boiled the water, he took the pot, opened a can of food, and poured it in to heat it up.
In just a few minutes, a plate of fragrant braised beef was ready.
When Chen Feng started eating, the other gold prospectors sitting at the table were stunned.
"Dude, where did you get this food? Did you make it yourself?" the man said in shock as he drank the noodle soup from his box.
"Damn, buddy, you're amazing! If you'd told me earlier, I would have given you some money and you could have taken me with you." Another guy was slurping his noodles, his mouth watering.
"No, it's canned food. I'm just heating it up. I also had instant noodles this morning," Chen Feng said with a chuckle, looking at the group.
"There's even canned food like this? This stuff is amazing! If you heat it up in the mine, it'll taste much better than bread!" the man exclaimed in surprise.
"Where did you buy this? I'll buy some next time, so I don't have to eat noodles at the mine every day and nobody told me this stuff existed." Another person was extremely envious.
Chen Feng told them where he bought it and how much it cost, and they thanked him profusely.
Sometimes, as people get older, they really don't pay attention to what's on the shelves; they just buy what they need.
Chen Feng has truly opened the door to a new world for them this time.
A plate of beef and two bowls of rice left Chen Feng feeling incredibly full.
He leaned back in his chair and smoked a cigarette. Everyone else had gone out to work after taking a break, leaving only him and one other person in the room.
After finishing his meal, the man became sleepy and seemed to go inside to catch up on sleep.
All I can say is that he's comparable to Huang Fei; it's as if they were taught by the same master.
Chen Feng rested for a while, took two bottles of chilled mineral water from the freezer, and then continued on his way with his bag on his back.
To be honest, he had a feeling that something must have really happened to the old lady.
Otherwise, the Zhang family wouldn't have left without leaving a single person behind.
Moreover, considering what Chen Feng vaguely overheard last night, it's not hard to guess.
"Why."
Chen Feng sighed and drove to the mine.
Soon they arrived at the mine. Chen Feng looked around to make sure no one was there, then got out of the car and chose a direction that seemed right.
It felt really good; Chen Feng hadn't walked more than a few steps when the system gave him a notification.
Chen Feng put down the detector and went up to the cargo to start digging.
Chen Feng didn't manage to cut in with his first shovel. He kicked the ground and discovered a rotten piece of wood that was pressing down on the goods.
"wipe."
Chen Feng could only say that his start was unsuccessful, as he immediately encountered a major problem.
You can't find trees this thick around here, and I have no idea where this rotten piece of wood came from.
Chen Feng took a shovel and began digging around the rotten wood, first uncovering its outline.
The piece of wood was over three meters long, and Chen Feng carefully chipped away at it bit by bit, like he was working on an antique.
After digging through the surrounding area, Chen Feng was so exhausted that he was panting heavily. He sat down on the ground, took out a bottle of mineral water that was still ice-cold, and drank it slowly after a while.
If it were just hot weather, he would drink it directly, but since he had just finished working and his body was hot, he couldn't drink it directly.
After taking several sips, Chen Feng put the bottle back in his bag. He suddenly thought of making a video call to Zheng Ping and the others.
Look, I can even drink iced mineral water, haha.
However, he only thought about it and decided against it; he couldn't actually fight.
Chen Feng picked up a shovel, stuck his head under the wood, and tried to pry it up.
As long as one end can be raised, Chen Feng can push it out.
With just one pry, Chen Feng heard a whooshing sound as the shovel pierced right through the wood.
The wood was so rotten that Chen Feng pried it apart with a single stroke.
Chen Feng had no choice but to go to the middle of the wood, stick the shovel in, and pry it open from the middle. He hoped it wouldn't break again this time.
This time it didn't break. With a little effort, Chen Feng pried the wood up. Using both his hands and feet, he pushed the wood out at an angle.
"call."
After finishing this huge project, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and saw that there were still some debris left in the wood pit, and insects were crawling inside.
Chen Feng carried a shovel to the top of the goods and began to shovel soil one shovelful at a time.
Many insects got a free ride on a plane, but no one knows where they ended up.
Once he felt it was about time, Chen Feng switched to a small shovel and started shoveling the soil.
Chen Feng quickly found the goods, shook the shovel, and started digging with his hands.
Soon, Chen Feng found a dark yellow object in the shovel, and he subconsciously smiled as he looked at it.
After weighing the gold ingot in his hand, Chen Feng estimated it to be worth around three thousand yuan.
"Not bad, it wasn't a waste of time."
Chen Feng put the gold nugget away, quite satisfied.
He packed up his tools and continued walking. But when he passed that rotten tree, he kicked it out of sheer boredom, sending it flying back to where it was.
"Perfect."
Chen Feng smiled and walked forward with a flourish.
He estimated he had walked for about seven or eight minutes. There was a slight slope here, and as soon as he started walking uphill, the system gave him a prompt.
Chen Feng took a few steps back, put down the detector, and began digging a hole.
The pit wasn't very deep, only about 20 or 30 centimeters deep.
Chen Feng quickly and easily grasped the large shovel.
I switched to a small shovel and started digging through the soil. I scooped out the goods in just two or three shovelfuls.
With a slight shake of the shovel, Chen Feng saw the object floating on the surface of the soil.
It was a silver nugget, which Chen Feng estimated was worth about fifty or sixty yuan.
After collecting the silver coins and taking only a few steps forward, the system gave another prompt.
"It doesn't hurt at all."
Chen Feng smiled, walked to the location of the goods, and began to squat down and dig a hole.
The sand here is excellent, without a single pebble; it feels like it could be used as a beach.
Each time, Chen Feng could dig up a whole shovelful before throwing it out, and he had to admit he felt quite satisfied.
In no time, Chen Feng had dug a fairly deep hole. He was about to switch to a small shovel, but then he thought better of it and didn't take it.
He simply reached in and grabbed randomly, and surprisingly, he actually managed to grab something.
Upon scooping it out, Chen Feng saw it was a small gold nugget. He chuckled and gently squeezed it.
The gold nugget is probably worth around 1,400 or 1,500, which is quite good.
Chen Feng continued searching until six o'clock before heading to the Wuling van.
I reckon Old Zhang won't be back home tonight either; the compound will still be empty, so he'll have to cook for himself.
Today's harvest was pretty good, around 31,000 to 32,000 in total.
It can only be said that 50,000 is an exception, while 30,000 is the norm.
When Chen Feng drove the car into the yard, he was suddenly stunned. There were two more cars in the yard, which belonged to the Zhang brothers.
"You're back?"
Chen Feng got off the bus with his bag on his back, somewhat surprised.
