Chapter 472: None (2nd Update)
"No! You can't use the small river on the mountain! Dig one yourself, we'll dig it ourselves!" Master Feng said with great certainty, he can't cheapen the Lin family, their Feng family is so embarrassed now, but it is all the Lin family's harm!
If it weren't for Lin Xi asking for a million taels in one go, how could they not even have the money to buy tools by now. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, the old man of the Feng family really hated the Lin family and Lin Xi in his heart.
"Okay, sir, then we have to recruit people quickly, and when they arrive, we can work." Steward Feng said.
"How's the worker's business?" asked Master Feng then, now get the workers in first, and as soon as the stove arrives, you can start digging for gold.
"Everyone heard that it was a gold mine, and the wages were high, so they wanted to come. When Steward Feng said this, his face was slightly red, and he said sincerely, hehe, this salary is not high compared to the Jinhe side.
Because the matter of the gold mine was announced, the master of the Feng family also began to prepare to recruit people to dig gold, and the salary was five taels a month, taking care of food and housing, and working for eight hours a day.
Eight hours is not a short time, and, you know, this is mining, heavy physical labor. Moreover, this time, because as long as he wants to mine, Master Feng does not dare to be old, weak, sick and disabled, it is not good to be too young or too big, and women are naturally not good.
Because of the salary of five taels of silver, there are many people who are willing to go to the Feng family's mine to work, so everyone is inquiring about when the Feng family will start work and when they will have people, and they are all ready to come to the Feng family at any time to give it a try.
Therefore, the Feng family didn't have much effort to recruit people, but in one day, everything was done, which was simply fast. Three days later, the alchemy furnace was in place, and five days later, the big pit for selecting gold was also dug, and the Feng family could finally dig gold with peace of mind.
Lighting firecrackers, it is a celebration of the start of construction, the master who specially spent a lot of money to invite the mining master stood on the side, a look I know very well, really majestic, technical talents, eat everywhere.
As soon as the pickaxe went down, the earth fell down with the stones, and a man came down with a red cloth and watched the battle, as if he wanted to wrap up this bag of dirt and make offerings. Everyone on the side of the watch was stunned, as for it?
In fact, there is really no such custom, and there is no particular emphasis on saying that the first package of soil should be wrapped in red cloth, but the master of the Feng family thinks that this inch of land is golden, and the soil is gold, and it must not be wasted, so he found this red cloth, do nothing else, and then order, don't waste it.
Everyone didn't know, they thought that Master Feng was so particular about it, so they followed, and later, they really couldn't afford to hurt when they knew the truth.
"Master, will we see gold in this mountain of gold soon?" asked Steward Feng, very excited in his heart.
"Of course, let the first batch of stones be transported down immediately to see if there is any gold!" Old Man Feng was in good spirits on happy occasions, and the folds on his face were smiling.
"Yes, yes, it will be shipped immediately!" said the man who had been hired to open the mine at a high salary, and the first frame of stone was transported.
Master Feng's heart was burning when he saw it, this is really great, he will be able to see the gold soon, can he not be excited? Now I have to return to my roots, think about a bright future, and don't be too happy about the days of sitting on the golden mountain.
The crowd continued to dig stones, while mining, while beating the wood into horizontal and vertical beams, supporting the entire mine road, this is afraid of collapse, if you don't lay a good foundation now, it will be easy to have accidents in the future. The master of this mining is surnamed He, he is really experienced, and the things he bought are also very sufficient, so he is not stingy with wood, and he is ready to arrange it densely, and it will be safe in the future, you know, he also has to go down at any time.
"Sir, sir, sir!" shouted the goldsmith below, running up.
"What's going on! Is it gold!" Master Feng stood on tiptoe and looked down, with a look of surprise on his face. His eyes were fixed on the sieve that the man had brought up, without blinking.
"No, sir, I want to tell you that no gold was found in this first basket of stones. The gold washer said this, with a serious face, just looking at Master Feng like this, so angry that Master Feng's heart hurt.
"Why are you shouting so urgently when you don't have gold, and you're shouting so loudly!"
The people who came to watch the mining ceremony today were all merchants who had some dealings with Master Feng on weekdays, and there were seven or eight of them, which was not a few. Seeing that Master Feng was so ugly, everyone couldn't help but want to laugh, and they all clenched their fists, put them to their mouths, and pretended to cough, but there was still a faint laughter.
"Master, I just want to tell you that there is no gold, so that you don't worry. "The worker is also very depressed, he is also very kind, for the Feng family's master, stand so far away and shout, can you hear it?
"Okay, okay, since you haven't come out, why don't you hurry back?!" said Master Feng with some annoyance.
"Yes, master, then I'll go back first. The man was dumbfounded, turned around and ran down the hill. If it weren't for this, it is estimated that he would not have been sent to deliver the letter, and the gold was released, Master Feng was naturally happy, and it was estimated that there would be a reward after getting it done, who didn't want to come? But there was no gold, this was bad news, and everyone didn't want to touch the mold, so this person ran over.
"What's going on?" said the old man of the Feng family, and asked Master He who was standing next to him angrily. You must know that this Master He is a person who can mine invited by Master Feng two months ago. Now that there is no gold to be seen, Master Feng naturally wants to ask him.
"Don't worry, sir, sometimes mining is like this, a basket of stones doesn't mean anything, maybe there is nothing in this basket of stones, but the next basket of stones will come out. And we've just dug up the edge of the mountain, so it's unlikely that there will be any gold. The master surnamed He said so, this person is good at speaking good words, and his lips and tongue are also powerful on weekdays, otherwise he wouldn't be able to fool Master Feng to believe him so much.
"Steward Feng continues to carry stones down the mountain, I want to see when this gold will come out. Feng Lao was also a little unhappy, he bought a mountain of gold, and this first basket of stones did not produce gold, which always felt that it was not a good sign.
"Yes, sir. Steward Feng listened to Master Feng's words, and hurriedly asked people to carry stones down the mountain, anyway, they also have to grind, and they will get it after finishing it early, and it is the right thing to get the gold out quickly.
Steward Feng also saw that his master wanted a good omen, but such a thing could not be forced, it was not something that could be controlled by manpower. Let them grind a few baskets of stones and see which one has the gold to come out.
