The table wasn't big, but it was just big enough for two people. The surface of the table reflected the light, and it looked quite expensive.
Not to mention the two matching European-style chairs.
Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh.
Now that's what a dining table should look like! Look at what's sitting at the doorway.
It was a small, broken table made of plywood; it couldn't even be called a table, it was more like a large, long bench.
"Please sit down."
Xia Yingying spoke from inside.
Chen Feng pulled up a chair and sat down, his usual playful demeanor gone, and said softly, "Thank you."
He knew Xia Yingying had a small face, so he definitely shouldn't mention the four dishes she specially made for him at this time; just saying thank you would be enough.
Xia Yingying nodded, and the two of them served themselves rice.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Chen Feng said with a smile, picking up his chopsticks.
"Um."
Chen Feng picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with his chopsticks, chewed it, and looked at Xia Yingying with considerable amazement.
"You're quite skilled! Did you make this?"
"I didn't expect you to cook so well."
Chen Feng wasn't lying; Xia Yingying's cooking really was delicious, something he never expected.
After all, which rich woman like Xia Yingying can cook? Aren't they all hands that never lift a finger?
"It's alright. There's not much to do when I'm alone, so I can only cook some food to pass the time," Xia Yingying said, picking up a piece of garlic sprouts.
"I haven't thought about doing anything else, or finding some hobbies?" Chen Feng ladled out a bowl of soup, handed it to Xia Yingying first, and then handed it to himself.
Xia Yingying paused for a moment, then lowered her eyes and shook her head.
"It's no good to make money without knowing how to spend it, otherwise it's all for nothing." Chen Feng took a sip of the pork rib soup, smacked his lips, and exclaimed that the soup was really delicious.
"So what about you? What are you going to do with the money you've earned?" Xia Yingying looked up and asked in return.
"I?"
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "If I save enough money, I'll go home and never have to run around like this again."
"You'll feel comfortable then."
He was incredibly excited just thinking about his plan.
That's a gold mine that you can never spend all of, and you'll have it soon. Who wouldn't be excited?
"When will I be able to save enough money?" Xia Yingying asked, taking a small bite of rice.
Many people say they'll do this or that once they've saved enough money, but they never actually save enough until they die.
"When will I be able to save enough... I guess it'll be a few months at the latest," Chen Feng said after calculating.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yingying looked up at Chen Feng in surprise.
She had assumed that Chen Feng's goal, like everyone else's, was something he would never achieve in his lifetime, but she never expected that he would be achieving it so soon.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Chen Feng seems different from other gold prospectors. He's a gold prospector who made 400,000 in three days, and he even found a piece of gold worth 17,000 a couple of days ago.
While it might take others a long time to buy a car or a house, these things might not be a problem for him.
"Going home, going home is so good." Xia Yingying looked at her bowl of pork rib and corn soup, her eyes filled with a sense of loneliness.
"So, are you planning to stay here alone from now on?" Chen Feng asked, gnawing on a rib.
"Otherwise, perhaps for someone like me, rotting here is the best end."
"What right does a wanton, shameless woman have to demand anything else?" Xia Yingying said with a self-deprecating smile.
Chen Feng was momentarily at a loss for words, it seemed that Xia Yingying was actually well aware of her reputation.
"You could invite your best friend over occasionally to keep you company," Chen Feng suggested.
"I have no friends." Xia Yingying shook her head.
"Family members can come over occasionally."
Most other people's mining sites are run by large families, so Xia Yingying could do the same.
Bringing the whole family over would be a good idea.
“My family…is too far away.” Xia Yingying shook her head gently.
"this…"
Hearing this, Chen Feng was also at a loss, as if there was no solution.
"Do you really want to make money?" Xia Yingying looked up and asked Chen Feng.
"Of course, I'm extremely short of money right now, desperately short of money." Chen Feng repeated the important words twice.
Xia Yingying thought for a moment and then said to Chen Feng, "If you trust me, I'll give you an address. Go there and try your luck."
"Perhaps there will be more goods there than here."
"What do you mean? Explain in detail." Chen Feng immediately became interested upon hearing this and began speaking while holding his rice bowl.
Xia Yingying organized her thoughts and slowly began to speak.
“That’s a place Gao Xiaowen mentioned before. It’s a gold mine, but it’s not very big.”
“Gao Xiaowen was originally very excited and prepared to get the permit and start excavating himself, but after he went to the site for inspection, he found that there was a problem there.”
"To put it bluntly, the mine itself is small and has low gold content. To others, this place is a treasure."
"But for Gao Xiaowen at the time, this place was like a chicken bone—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away. He didn't think much of it."
"So he later abandoned that place and focused all his attention on the mine now."
"But Gao Xiaowen died later, and that place has remained empty ever since, and no one has discovered it."
"But then again, even though that place isn't great, it still yields more gold than this gold mine that Gao Xiaowen has drained dry."
“If you want to give it a try, I’ll give you the address. But I heard Gao Xiaowen say that the mines there are generally about two meters deep and it’s still an uninhabited area, which is why it hasn’t been discovered for so many years.”
"If you want to go shopping, you'd better be prepared."
After listening to Xia Yingying's words, Chen Feng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you willing to tell me about this place?"
He didn't think he had gotten to know Xia Yingying so well in the past few days that she would tell him about such a great place.
If that place is really as Xia Yingying said, even though Gao Xiaowen doesn't think much of it, it would still be a treasure trove for any gold prospector.
Even if they were to openly mine, they should be able to make a lot of money, at least in the eight figures.
Did Xia Yingying really tell herself that?
To be honest, for a moment Chen Feng even thought Xia Yingying was teasing him.
“That place is just sitting there, and I have no ability to manage a mine myself. Besides, that mine may not be as good as Gao Xiaowen said.”
"For me, this one mining site is enough. The others are just sitting idle anyway. I'm just giving you a suggestion."
"Go if you want, don't go if you don't." Xia Yingying took a sip of her drink and continued picking at her food, just like she was having a casual chat.
It was as if what she had just described wasn't a gold mine at all, but rather a worthless piece of trash.
Chen Feng lowered his head and thought about it. To be honest, he was tempted.
Even a not-so-rich gold mine is still much better than a mine that Chen Feng has already mined.
