Chen Feng took the thick wad of money from Boss Bai and put it in his pocket.
To be honest, four thousand yuan is really thick; Chen Feng's wallet couldn't even hold it all. No wonder some people say that because cash is now digitalized, people have lost their sense of money.
Chen Feng had also charged into 648 before; although it was heartbreaking, it was nothing special.
But if you were to tell him now, "Take out seven tickets now and exchange them for a few more chances to win a prize," Chen Feng would absolutely refuse!
That's real money, the kind you have in your hands, who would be willing to give it away?
After Chen Feng stepped back, everyone stepped forward and handed over their day's earnings to Boss Bai.
Boss Bai had been burning silver in bulk just now, but now that he saw the tiny amount in their bottle, he was losing his motivation.
What's the point of burning just one? It's much more satisfying to burn a whole bunch!
Only one person had the biggest harvest today, finding two silver coins worth forty dollars.
Everyone else has one, and the size isn't that different.
As for Huang Fei, he could only watch them burn the food with a pursed mouth.
He didn't find anything today, and his memory was terrible.
"twelve."
Seven pieces.
Forty-one.
"Eight pieces..."
Even as Mr. Bai burned his own gas, he sighed, wondering if this was enough to cover the cost of his spray gun, since a can of gas cost three yuan!
Finally, everything was finished, and everyone got into the car and drove home. It was getting dark.
After Chen Feng got off the bus and returned home, Liu Ping had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him to come back.
"Go wash your hands and eat," Liu Ping said, bringing him a basin of water when he returned.
"Okay." Chen Feng took off his backpack, washed his hands, and sat down at the dining table.
Today, Liu Ping made Mu Shu Pork and also prepared a cold dish.
After taking a bite of food, Chen Feng took out the money and put it on the table.
When Liu Ping saw the thick wad of money, her eyes widened instantly.
"What...what is this?" Liu Ping said blankly.
"That piece of gold yesterday, plus today's harvest," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"How come there are so many?" Liu Ping said in disbelief.
"Just lucky, born to be a gold prospector," Chen Feng said, pouring himself a glass of water.
"My God, other gold prospectors only make a few hundred dollars a month, how come it's completely different for you?" Liu Ping exclaimed.
"Making money is a good thing. I can pay you back the money I borrowed today. Besides, a few hundred yuan of it belonged to Lin Nian, so it's not that much," Chen Feng reminded him.
Liu Ping ate a bite of rice in a daze, still finding it unbelievable.
Even if you remove a few hundred dollars, it's still a huge sum of money.
Earning three thousand a day? Who would believe that?
"I don't want it. You should save it carefully. Don't spend money recklessly once you make it. Build a new house and get married later. That's better than anything else."
Liu Ping cautioned him, worried that Chen Feng might start spending money recklessly again once he made some.
"No, I'm still young, why the rush to get married?" It seems that the older generation is obsessed with marriage, Chen Feng shook his head helplessly.
After finishing their meal, Chen Feng counted out three thousand yuan and handed it to Liu Ping. Liu Ping eventually accepted the money and saved it for Chen Feng.
He sat down, lit a cigarette, and called Lin Nian via WeChat.
A short while later, Lin Nian pushed the door open and came in.
"Auntie, brother, you were looking for me?" Lin Nian greeted Liu Ping and said as he sat down in a chair.
"We sold seventy-nine fish in total, let's say eighty, and that piece of gold sold for one thousand two hundred and forty."
"Six hundred and sixty yuan per person."
Chen Feng did the calculations and handed him the money he had prepared.
Lin Nian looked at the money, his face filled with excitement and disbelief. He couldn't help but look up and ask, "Brother, can such a small amount of gold be sold for so much money?"
"What do you think? Otherwise, why would so many people be out there panning for gold?" Chen Feng laughed.
"Take the money." Chen Feng stuffed the money into his hand.
This was the first time Lin Nian had received so much money, and he was at a loss for what to do, feeling both excited and hesitant.
"Brother, how about I take two hundred and you can have the rest? After all, you're the one who found the gold, I'll be happy with just a small portion."
As Lin Nian spoke, he pulled out two red bills, intending to hand the rest to Chen Feng.
"Stop talking nonsense. Just take it. We agreed that the two of us would go out and make some extra money and split the profits equally. If I take the lion's share now, what kind of person would I be?"
Chen Feng pressed down hard, forcing him to accept it without further ado.
Lin Nian finally gave in to Chen Feng's insistence and put the money away, saying excitedly, "Brother, next time you go out to pan for gold, can you take me with you?"
"I don't want money, I just want to play along."
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's not that it's impossible, but the key is that you don't have anything, so going there would be a waste of time."
"Maybe we'll have a chance to get the whole machine sometime in the future."
Now is clearly not a good time to let Lin Nian go gold panning. Only with a system can you have goods every day. Lin Nian doesn't have a system, so going there would be a waste of time.
If you want to play, let's talk about it later.
"Okay." Lin Nian didn't insist and nodded vigorously.
The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Nian went home. When he got home, Lin Nian's grandfather came out wearing a coat.
"What's up? What does Chen Feng want with you?"
Lin Nian couldn't hide his joy upon hearing this, and he even ran all the way back.
"Let's split the money," Lin Nian said, reaching into his pocket.
"Oh, it's the money from selling fish last time, isn't it?" Grandpa Lin Nian remembered and said, sitting on the stool.
"Look!"
Lin Nian took out the wad of money from his pocket, crumpled it up, and showed it to him.
Grandpa Lin thought it was only a dozen or so yuan, but when he saw the several red bills, he was stunned, and his cloudy eyes widened instantly.
"Wait... how much is this? Why is there so much?"
"How many fish did you two catch?" Grandpa Lin Nian stood up excitedly.
"The fish only cost a few dozen yuan, and the rest was money to be split among the gold. I was thinking of just taking a small share, but Brother Chen Feng wouldn't allow it and insisted on splitting it in half."
"That's a total of six hundred and sixty yuan," Lin Nian chuckled.
"My God, he really gave you the gold money?" Grandpa Lin Nian said incredulously.
He knew that the two of them had panned for gold, but Grandpa Lin also knew that it was all Chen Feng's doing and had nothing to do with Lin Nian.
He didn't expect to get half, after all, people should be reasonable. Grandpa Lin was an honest farmer who had lived a simple life.
Unexpectedly, Chen Feng still gave Lin Nian half of the money, which was a huge sum of money.
"I told you my brother was good to me. Here's the six hundred, but I won't give you the sixty. I'll keep it for my own spending money."
Lin Nian gave the whole bill to his grandfather, and kept the change for himself with a grin.
"Alright, alright, Chen Feng is really something. You've made a good friend of his. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have shared with you." Grandpa Lin Nian, a wise man, couldn't help but sigh.
