"It's alright, it's only a few o'clock. We'll probably have some good stuff this afternoon," Chen Feng reassured him.
"Okay, let's keep exploring, it'll be lunchtime soon," his companion chimed in.
Huang Fei sighed, got out of the car with them, and the group split up to continue searching for goods.
Chen Feng wasn't so lucky this time; the system only beeped after he had been browsing for twenty minutes.
"Give me a bigger one, so I can pay off my debts," Chen Feng muttered, holding the detector.
He borrowed money from his mother to buy the detector, although his mother didn't intend to keep it, as long as Chen Feng did a good job.
But Chen Feng wouldn't do that. He believed that once the money was borrowed, it was borrowed. He would only feel at ease if the money was returned to him, and he would only feel comfortable spending money he had earned himself.
Last time I made over a thousand, and I can share a few hundred with the gold that Lin Nian found. If I find another fifteen hundred this time, I'll be able to pay off the money I spent on the machine.
"Ooh-woo~"
As the detector beeped, Chen Feng crouched down.
After a few shovelfuls, nothing came out on the detector. But with the next shovelful, before Chen Feng could even put it on the detector, he saw a grayish-white silver particle in the pit.
He casually ran the shovel of soil over the detector, then tossed it away to prevent any double-yolks, before reaching out and picking up the silver nugget.
The silver grains were uneven and had a dull surface, looking like they were worth about thirty yuan.
"good."
Chen Feng threw the silver granules into the bottle, patted the dirt off his legs, picked up the detector, and continued forward.
Even excluding that one gold nugget, Chen Feng's harvest this time was more than last time. Last time, he only got about four or five nuggets in the whole morning. He felt like 1,500 nuggets were right in front of him.
After finding another silver nugget, it was time for lunch, so Chen Feng continued searching as he walked back.
This time, thanks to the van, we no longer have to eat under the scorching sun or in the wind.
The group gradually returned to the van and took out the food they had brought that morning.
When Chen Feng returned, six or seven people in the car were already eating, and some hadn't come back yet.
Sitting next to Zheng Ping, he still had the classic scallion pancake in his hand.
First, dip a scallion in some sauce, then spread it on the pancake. Finally, place the scallion on the pancake, roll it up from both sides, and you're done.
"You're doing great today. Before, you'd be drenched in sweat while eating a meal, and it was so tiring to eat in the car. Huang Fei, you made the right choice coming here," a companion said with a smile.
"Well, you all have to thank me. It's not too much for me to take a scallion from you, is it?" Huang Fei walked over from the front, chuckling as he took a scallion from the man's plastic bag.
"Okay, come again tomorrow, and I'll give you some scallions again," the man laughed.
The scallions are all homegrown and worthless. It's perfectly fine for everyone to share them, regardless of who brought more or less.
"Damn it, don't even mention it. It's made me lose all confidence. How come I didn't find anything all morning? Chen Feng, do you have some secret you haven't told me?"
"Otherwise, how come you have so much stuff while I don't even have a hair?" Huang Fei said, eating half a scallion in one bite, looking at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng bought sliced bread this time. He took out two slices, sandwiched ham and scallions in the middle, and it tasted pretty good. It was a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
Taking a bite of his homemade six-pack sandwich, Chen Feng looked up and said, "There's no secret to that, it's all about luck."
As for why it's called a "six-sided sandwich," a sandwich is bread cut in half, but this one isn't cut in half, so isn't that a six-sided sandwich?
"How much did you find this morning?" Zheng Ping nudged Chen Feng with his elbow and asked curiously.
He remembered that Chen Feng had found four or five silver coins at lunch last time. He wondered if he would be so lucky this time and find four or five more.
"Similar to last time."
Chen Feng was too lazy to reach into his pocket, so he held the bottle of mineral water between his legs and opened it with one hand.
"You've found another four or five silver coins?" a companion on the other side of the aisle asked in surprise.
"Um."
Chen Feng finished his homemade six-sided sandwich in a few bites, then took out a piece of bread and rolled it up again.
"Damn, how come you're always so lucky? How big are those silver nuggets?" a companion in the back seat exclaimed.
Chen Feng took a swig of mineral water, then pulled out a small bottle from his pocket to show them.
“They’re all about the same size, none of them are particularly big,” Chen Feng said.
When Chen Feng took out the bottle, everyone craned their necks to look. When they saw that there was significantly more stuff in the bottle than last time, someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Holy crap, you call this about the same as last time? This is clearly more than last time!"
"Wow, what luck you have! I found one this morning, and it's not even as big as the one in your bottle."
Zheng Ping couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly as he looked at the bottle. He thought that if Chen Feng could get the same result as last time, he would be incredibly lucky.
To his utter surprise, he reaped even more rewards this time than last time.
"Hey, you guys think this is too much?" Huang Fei stood up and said, picking up the angle iron from the ground.
"Look, this is my brother Feng's biggest gain today. Isn't that amazing!"
Everyone laughed upon hearing this, but their tone remained somewhat incredulous.
"Although iron is not as valuable as silver, such a large piece of angle iron is still very rare."
"Damn, this angle iron can sell for ten or eight dollars. I'd be happy if I could find an angle iron this big."
"I thought Chen Feng would only offer high-quality goods, not these worthless items."
Hearing this, Chen Feng laughed and said, "Sometimes I make mistakes too, haha."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Song Hui rolled his eyes in annoyance and snorted, feeling both sour and jealous.
As they were finishing their meal, the rest of the group gradually returned.
Normally I can only sit on the hard ground, but now I can finally have a proper rest at noon.
Everyone who came in was slightly surprised when they saw the angle iron on the ground.
"Holy crap, such a big piece of iron is not easy to touch. Who's lucky enough to be here today?"
"Who else could it be but your brother Feng?"
Upon hearing this, the man looked at Chen Feng in surprise and joked, "Fengzi, you've picked up some gold and silver, but leave some of this scrap metal for us too. Don't take everything, big or small, leave us something to eat."
Hearing this, Chen Feng said helplessly, "I can't help it. You can't just not want it to ring."
The man walked back and said with a smile, "Next time if you think it's too heavy, just ask me to carry it for you. I don't think it's too heavy. Someone as capable as you can still pick up this thing. It takes up too much space."
"Okay, okay, I'll call you next time we run into each other," Chen Feng said with a smile, taking out a cigarette.
He handed Zheng Ping a cigarette, and the two of them lit it and started smoking in the car, enjoying a moment of rest.
Huang Fei finished eating, lit a cigarette in front of him, and said, "Damn, how come I'm sleepy even sitting here?"
"Then why don't you take a nap?" someone joked from behind.
"That won't do. If I sleep, all the gold will be picked up by you." Huang Fei said, opening a crack in the window.
