"You have to have dreams, what do you know?" Huang Fei said expectantly.
"Ooh-woo~"
Just as they were talking, Lin Nian's shovel made a sound, proving that the goods had been dug out.
"Hey, hurry up and rummage through it to see what kind of stuff it is," Huang Fei urged.
"Don't rush, don't rush," Lin Nian said, shaking the shovel.
"Don't make it too small, don't make it too small, it has to be worth at least five thousand!" Li Chunlai squatted down excitedly, as if he were announcing a lottery.
And as the four people looked on expectantly, Lin Nian flicked his wrist again, revealing just the tip of the iceberg of the item.
"Hey, hey, it's yellow, it's yellow!" Li Chunlai laughed heartily.
"As long as it's yellow, it's worth it; it's better than silver," Huang Fei nodded repeatedly.
Lin Nian didn't hesitate and immediately pulled the gold out. When the gold was exposed to everyone's view, the three people in the pit cheered.
"Holy crap, holy crap, I'm rich!"
"Holy crap, is this really gold? How can it be so big?"
"My God, that's awesome!"
"Holy crap, five thousand? This must be worth more than fifty thousand! How come it's such a huge piece?"
The three men were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths; none of them had expected the first item to be so big.
Lin Nian brushed away the dirt with his hands, revealing the true appearance of the gold. It was definitely pure gold nugget.
"What's going on? What are you all shouting about? The goods have been shipped!"
Chen Jianguo, who was on the excavator, heard their shouts, but he couldn't see what was going on down there. He was so anxious that he could only jump down, squat down by their pit, and stick his head out to ask.
"It's here! And it's such a big piece! Look!" Lin Nian showed him the gold.
"Wow, it's huge!" Chen Jianguo's mouth formed an "O" shape when he saw the gold.
No, this mine has been mined for so many years, how could there still be gold down there, and in such a large quantity?
For a moment, Chen Jianguo felt as if he were in a dream; this was too unreal.
"Quick, quick, let's go out and get a scale, let's weigh this gold to see how heavy it is." Li Chunlai said as he climbed out.
The group threw their tools up first, and then climbed out of the pit one by one.
"I should have brought the scale earlier; I completely forgot about it," Li Chunlai said, slapping his forehead.
"Then go get it," Huang Fei chuckled. The road was so far, and he didn't want to go anyway; walking would be too tiring.
"Okay, wait for me." Li Chunlai was quick on his feet, and walked quite a distance away as he spoke.
“Come on, wipe the mud off and see how big this is,” Huang Fei said to Lin Nian.
Lin Nian carefully wiped the mud clean, and Chen Jianguo took it and weighed it in his hand.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is really heavy. In my experience, it will cost at least 60,000 yuan." Chen Jianguo said with a confident look on his face.
Chen Feng squinted at his father, somewhat speechless.
Such a large piece of gold, and you're telling me it's only worth 60,000 yuan? You really dare to guess.
I have to say, you're lucky that Brother Qi didn't fire you.
"Is it really that heavy? I don't think it's worth that much money," Lin Nian said with surprise.
"Don't worry, it's definitely there. I'm good at finding gold; I can spot it every time," Chen Jianguo assured him.
"This gold is worth around 100,000 yuan," Chen Feng said from the side.
"Hey, Fengzi, that's a bit of a stretch. How could there be 100,000? And you didn't even touch it. How do you know?" Huang Fei said with a skeptical look.
"You don't need to touch this thing, you can tell just by looking at it. My eyes are my scales," Chen Feng said matter-of-factly.
"Tch~"
Upon hearing this, the group all raised their hands in response; they were already used to Chen Feng's matter-of-fact attitude.
"It'll be around 60,000 or 70,000, maybe 70,000 for the edges at most," Chen Jianguo said, weighing the money in his hand.
“Indeed, I feel the same way,” Huang Fei agreed.
“A big idiot leads a second idiot, and a third idiot agrees. If you don’t believe me, wait until Li Chun comes back and you can measure it. Isn’t it around 100,000 yuan?” Chen Feng said, pursing his lips.
"Come on, feel it. It's not that heavy at all. Although it looks big, it's oddly shaped and forked. How could it possibly weigh over 100,000?" Huang Fei said, trying to weigh it for him.
"I don't care. Why would I care about this? I can just glance at it and be done with it," Chen Feng said, lighting a cigarette with an air of nonchalance.
"Don't worry, it's not that heavy. I've been panning for gold for years, I've handled more gold than you've ever seen. If you don't believe me, weigh it and see." Chen Jianguo was getting excited.
“Alright, spring is back, let’s take a look.” Chen Feng shook his head and said.
“I’ve brought a small brush with me, so I’ll give the gold a good scrubbing.” Li Chunlai said, placing the scale on a flat stone.
"What are you all doing? Why do you all have such strange expressions?" Li Chunlai asked curiously.
“We’re making a bet to see how heavy this piece of gold really is. Fengzi says it’s worth 100,000, but we say it’s only worth 60,000 or 70,000. Hurry up and weigh it, and prove him wrong,” Huang Fei said, handing him the gold.
"Anyway, I can't tell. Before I hung out with Brother Feng, I had no idea what gold looked like." Li Chunlai was quite self-aware. He swept the gold clean and put it on the scale.
Seeing the numbers displayed on the electronic scale, Li Chunlai took out his phone and calculated it.
"Ah, how can it be so heavy? Something's not right!" Huang Fei exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the numbers.
"Hmm?" Chen Jianguo frowned as he looked at the numbers. How could this be so different from what he had guessed?
“After accounting for losses, this piece of gold is worth approximately 104,700.” After calculating, Li Chunlai turned his phone over to show them.
After Li Chunlai finished speaking the number, the entire room fell silent. Chen Feng took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled softly.
Chen Jianguo and Huang Fei stared at the number, their faces filled with disbelief.
“I’m not shaking my head to admit defeat, but because you guys still need to practice.”
"Pack your things and move on to the next spot."
Chen Feng patted them on the shoulder, then turned and left, leaving them with his back to him.
"Holy crap, Fengzi has reached this level now. He can tell how much gold is worth just by looking at it, without even touching it?" Huang Fei said incredulously.
"Can this gold really be that heavy?" Chen Jianguo still couldn't believe it. He squatted down, removed the gold, put it back on, and then moved the scale around a bit.
The numbers on the scale remained unchanged; it was still the same result.
"I..." Chen Jianguo's eyes were full of disbelief as he scratched his head vigorously.
This is so different from what I expected. Could it be that I'm really no good anymore? No, I've been working in the gold mining business for so many years. How could I be worse than my son?
