Chapter 54: Half a Day's Harvest

The sun is scorching, the time is almost twelve o'clock at noon, this is the hottest time of the day, although it is already late autumn, but in Loulan, only summer and winter exist, and the so-called winter is not cold, but there will be a cool breeze at night.

Without too much nature protection, no hills, no walls to block the wind and sand, you can only endure under the scorching sun.

At this time, there is no one in the entire Loulan City who can hold on outdoors, the power of the autumn tiger is really ferocious in the desert, the temperature is close to 50 degrees, and you can feel what sweat is like a pulp in just a few seconds after going out, and the angle of 45 degrees obliquely above you squints at the sky with your residual light, and the hot sun can't help but make people feel that the sun is not fried.

Or maybe it's.

"Hold the grass, the sun is blowing up, why is it so hot!" There may only be two people under the scorching sun, today is the day when the gold mine is open, but for the people of Loulan City, this is an ordinary day, they are all in their own shops or return home to escape the heat, yo night is the time to really start business.

But for the two bitter miners, now is the time for mining, and it is also at night.

It will be open until two o'clock in the second half of the night, and then the mine will be closed for rectification, and in the second half of the night, all the sediment excavated by people will be sent away, and then the mine will be inspected to deal with some of the hidden dangers caused by mining.

Of course, unconscionable mine managers will even backfill the deep pits dug during the day with a certain amount of sand.

But for the two current diggers, working in the scorching sun is also acceptable.

"Brother Liu, let's go rest for a while, we have to burn to death when working in this state now. The old farmer complained to Liu Jianguo, he was already sweating, and there was a huge bucket beside him, and he held a water scoop in his hand and poured cold water on his body again and again.

It's just that now this cold water has also turned into lukewarm water, which can't bring him too much coolness.

"Brother, if you want to rest, go and rest. I'm short of money now, I have to work quickly, and it seems that there are not many opportunities for the two of us to work, we must cherish it, and can't we tell others about the things that have made money?" Liu Jianguo knows the efficiency of making money from this gold mine.

The old farmer was holding a small shriveled pocket in his hand, and looked at Liu Jianguo and had nothing to say.

"We just scooped up such a little sand this morning, and we can sell it for a few bucks, so let's rest for a while. ”

"You said that you dug up the dog's head gold, we have been digging all morning, and we haven't seen a shadow of the dog's head gold. He still complained a little as he spoke. And right next to them, there was a makeshift pergola, and three or five people were sitting in the pergola watching them work.

"Hey, brother, work hard, we're still waiting for you to dig out the gold and buy it!" A few people are under the pergola, covered with cold towels, eating ice cream, drinking frozen Coke, it is really very comfortable, one by one folding lounge chairs are placed around, people lying on it is called a sour.

Looking at these people, the old peasant said angrily: "If you want gold, come down to work, you can dig for five hundred yuan, why bother so many people waiting for the two of us to work?"

Liu Jianguo also looked at them curiously, these people really didn't seem to be short of money, they were just waiting to receive their gold.

In the crowd, a fat man with a wet bath towel on his body smiled: "Everyone has their own job, each has its own duties, we are the mine's professional gold appraisal, gold acquisition, that is to do this, if you go to the mine, the job will be gone, I don't want to lose this hard-won opportunity." Besides, there are few people mining in this mine now, and who knows how many people will come in a few days, and there will not be much time to mine. ”

The fat man said vigorously, but looking at his expression, it was: Lao Tzu just doesn't want to work, Lao Tzu is waiting to accept your gold as a second-class dealer's expression.

But they knew that the fat man was hired by the mines, and that he was also the supervisor in charge of the gold mines' acquisition and refining.

Liu Jianguo looked at them, then looked at the old farmer beside him, and finally sighed.

"Okay, Lao Ping, since you're tired, let's take a rest, it's the hottest time, go take a shower, and then have a bite to eat, there's a free meal here, let's eat at noon, and eat dry food at night." ”

The old farmer next to him, that is, the old man in Liu Jianguo's mouth, was crowded together, and the face of Fengsha was about to become a statue.

"Okay, okay, let's hurry up and eat, I'm going to starve to death." Lao Ping said excitedly.

Liu Jianguo took out a small pocket from his clothes, then untied the rope from his neck, opened the small pocket and looked at the dotted golden sands inside, his face was satisfied.

Lao Ping beside him pouted: "How much money can you have for such a little rough stone, don't always look at it for three or two hundred yuan." ”

As he spoke, he also took out his pocket, and took a closer look, compared with Liu Jianguo, it was much worse, he was cheating and playing tricks all morning and didn't work much.

But there are still gains.

"Okay, let's go and change the money first, I don't feel at ease with this thing. Liu Jianguo said.

Lao Ping also nodded, this is gold, who knows if it will be robbed on the road.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you going to eat? If you eat, send all the gold to the exchange, and we'll smelt it into gold for free, and you can take it or exchange it for money." The fat man said.

Liu Jianguo nodded excitedly when he heard this.

It's finally time to settle the money earned in the morning.

"Let's go!" he excitedly walked over and stood beside the fat man to urge, but he didn't dare to pull the fat man, how to say that people are also the leaders of the exchange, if one gram or two grams is less when smelting, it will be hundreds of dollars.

The fat man smiled and said, "Okay, let's walk, it's the first day of opening, I don't see you guys digging much in the morning, I just don't know how much." ”

He urged to start going, when he left, they were all public transportation, and when he arrived at the rail station next to him, he slapped twice on the button, and after a while, two rail cars arrived, the fat man took one, and Liu Jianguo and Lao Ping took one.

However, Liu Jianguo and the two of them took off themselves before they got into the car, wearing a pair of boxer beach pants, all covered with dust, and their gray faces described them now, but their clothes were packed into a large plastic bag, and the tools were also placed in the box, only the red rope was still in place.
