"If it's feasible every day, we'll only look for rocks to suck up, and we won't accept anything that's not under a rock," Lin Nian laughed.
"Brother Feng, would it be faster to sift this stuff through a sieve?" Li Chunlai asked, shaking the plate.
"No, although the gold here is mostly in the form of gold nuggets, they still vary in size."
"How do you use a sieve? What size sieve do you use?" Chen Feng asked without even looking up.
The methods Li Chunlai could think of had all been rejected by Chen Feng long ago. There's no good way to filter this stuff; you can only slowly shake it.
“That’s true, then we can only shake it slowly.” Li Chunlai grabbed a handful of sand and placed it in the middle of the plate.
After Lin Nian finished airing the gold in the plate, he reached out and rummaged around, threw out a stone buried in the soil, and picked up a handful of it and put it in the plate.
"Brother, how deep do we need to dig?" Lin Nian asked.
"How deep you pan depends on when you can't find any more gold."
Chen Feng felt the question was a bit idiotic, but since it was Lin Nian who asked it, he was used to it.
"If there is, we'll keep sifting here. What if we end up digging a huge pit that's over ten meters deep and we can't get out?" Lin Nian asked worriedly.
Chen Feng: "..."
He said that Lin Nian was somewhat mentally challenged, since he could even ask such a question.
You're dreaming if you think you can dig more than ten meters deep. You'll run out of gold after digging two or three meters. And have you ever heard of digging a pit more than ten meters deep to pan for gold?
“If it’s more than ten meters deep, then we’ll probably have to widen the pit a bit more and block the sides with something, otherwise if it collapses, we’ll be buried alive,” Li Chunlai said seriously, looking around.
"Then what should we use to block it? Ordinary things can't block it, and will it be securely inserted?" Lin Nian asked after thinking for a moment.
"I've seen them all made of corrugated steel. They can block it, don't worry. Those things are very sturdy when stuck in the ground. Besides, you can't just stick one in; you have to stick several in."
“Even if the soil falls, there are so many boards to stop it, it’s fine, you can run out easily,” Li Chunlai said with absolute certainty.
Chen Feng couldn't bear to watch the two people who had already started talking.
"I'm so stupid, we actually started chatting. They say there's a law of idiots, which is that out of every ten people, there will always be one idiot."
"Unexpectedly, my team of five people managed to get two drops each, and the drop rate was really high."
Chen Feng silently complained in his heart, when Lin Nian looked at Chen Feng.
"Brother, why aren't you saying anything?"
“I think you’re right, I have nothing to say,” Chen Feng said, grabbing a handful of sand.
Today, because of the large stones being driven in, it was a bit late. Huang Fei came out of the water several hours later, and it was already dark.
"This area has been completely sucked clean. In the end, my vacuum tube could barely reach the spot. We'll probably have to move the money-sucking ship forward a bit tomorrow," Huang Fei said, taking off his clothes.
“Okay, let Fengzi move forward a bit tomorrow. I don’t know how to operate the machine, and I don’t dare to do it.” Chen Jianguo said, helping him take off his clothes.
They could just leave their clothes on the shore after taking them off, since they would need to wear them again tomorrow. Huang Fei and Chen Jianguo went back together, and Chen Jianguo went to cook.
Anyway, Chen Jianguo is the one who cooks regularly now. Other people's cooking isn't very good, and he's willing to cook anyway, so it's perfect.
"What are you doing, still shaking it?" Huang Fei said, squatting by the pit and watching them.
"Soon, just shake it a few more times and it'll stop shaking, it'll get dark soon," Chen Feng said, glancing at the sky.
After shaking the rocks a little more, Chen Feng told them to stop and gather their harvest for the day.
Li Chunlai poured the gold he had won into Lin Nian's box; Li Chunlai's gold was the least.
After all, he took over from Chen Jianguo, who scored almost nothing in half an hour. Although things were a little better after he took over, they weren't much better.
The gold he panned was only slightly more than half of Lin Nian's.
Lin Nian, holding the box, poured all the gold into Chen Feng's box.
The difference was immediately apparent; Lin Nian's gold plus Li Chunlai's gold was less than a third of Chen Feng's.
One is so big and the other is so small; the difference is simply too great.
"Wow, Brother Feng, we don't even have as much as you do combined," Lin Nian asked incredulously.
"Hey, Feng-ge, what's wrong with you?!" Li Chunlai asked, sticking his head out.
Huang Fei, who was squatting by the pit watching them, immediately craned his neck to look when he heard this, but his view was blocked, so he had to keep changing positions to see how much gold Chen Feng had actually found.
"It's alright, but you two were too slow and your timing was bad." Chen Feng shook the box in his hand and climbed out of the pit.
"Are we slow? I feel like we're about as efficient as Brother Feng," Li Chunlai asked, somewhat puzzled, as he climbed out of the pit with Lin Nian.
"That's just how the Gold Rush Body is, you'll get used to it," Lin Nian said, shrugging.
"Dafei, bring the scales. Let's see how much gold Xiaotian has shaken up here in a day," Chen Feng said to Huang Fei.
"Okay." Huang Fei ran quickly to get the electronic scale.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen Feng poured all the gold onto the tray.
"How much is this? Does anyone have a calculator? Divide it quickly." Huang Fei, who was really bad at math, asked them.
"Wait a minute, let me calculate. We need to deduct the losses first, and then multiply by four hundred. That's seventeen thousand two hundred and forty."
"Wow, it looks unremarkable, but the three of us made almost 20,000 yuan in just one afternoon!" Li Chunlai said with great surprise.
He never imagined that while they were chatting and sifting through gold, they would actually find so much gold. He thought that four or five thousand would be a great achievement.
"Holy crap, 17,000? You can actually make 17,000 here? This is really something!" Huang Fei was overjoyed, especially since this was pure extra income.
"Great! Why didn't we bring more people with us? With one more person, we could have been more efficient and screened even more people," Lin Nian grinned.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Bring a few more. There are five people in the car. How many people do you want to bring? Besides, this is extra income, so it's already good enough. Do you want to bring the whole village here to screen for gold?"
Several people laughed upon hearing this. Indeed, this was good enough; one shouldn't try to do too much at once.
Moreover, Chen Feng smiled helplessly as he looked at their excitement.
Brothers, not just anyone can make this much money by wandering around in this sandy area. Do you know how long it took me to choose this spot?
This place is the closest to them and has the highest value.
In other places, not only is the gold content low, but in some places, there are hardly any gold grains at all.
"Lin Nian, go and bring up one of the buckets down there. Let's see how much gold the gold panning ship has sucked up today," Chen Feng said as he walked towards the gold panning ship.
