Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 16 Stocking up
Along the way, the father and son were scolded and didn't dare to say a word.

Only after they arrived at the ferry and boarded the boat did Wu Hongwu turn around and leave with his colleagues.

Sitting on the boat and smoking, the father and son were both silent, both still feeling frightened. Thinking about it now still makes them feel a little creepy.

Zeng Wenjie finally couldn't help laughing, and Zeng Xiangdong asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Zeng Wenjie shrugged and said, "I didn't lose my life, and I saved the goods. If you survive a disaster, you will surely have good fortune in the future!"

Zeng Xiangdong also started laughing, and the father and son chatted casually about the characteristics of each mine until the small boat docked.

I paid the boatman ten dollars for the ferry and got ashore. After walking for a few minutes, I walked up the steps into the old street. My home was diagonally across the street.

After returning home and eating the meal heated up by his grandma, Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's so good to be alive!

This time I learned a lesson. I was too excited when I received the goods the first time and didn’t pay attention to the time. I must pay attention next time. If I am late, I might as well just rest on the mountain.

There are sheds in those mines, with a lot of people and some weapons, so there is no need to worry about being robbed.

"We'll purify this batch of goods in a while, then ask grandma to borrow 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and we'll go collect another batch of goods tomorrow." Zeng Wenjie said.

"Huh? Aren't you going to sell it first and then collect it?" Zeng Xiangdong asked in confusion.

"I'll save them and sell them to Boss Yang. Once he has a lot of goods accumulated, he will be in a hurry to sell them to the boss from Tingnan Province. Otherwise, how can I get his contact information?" Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Zeng Xiangdong nodded without saying much. He wanted to see how his son would get the phone number of the boss of Tingnan Province from Yang Wei.

After resting for half an hour after dinner, Zeng Wenjie went to find his grandfather with a bottle of ice cola.

The old man was enjoying the cool under a big locust tree. His face was red, and it was obvious that he had drunk a lot of wine.

"Master, I'm here to learn martial arts from you." Zeng Wenjie said. Although he was tired and sore all over, he still came.

"I thought you were going to be lazy today." Grandpa said coldly.

"I dare not be lazy. If I hadn't met my uncle today, my father and I would probably have died in the mountains!" Zeng Wenjie said with lingering fear.

"Huh?" Grandpa couldn't help but stand up from his chair after hearing this, frowning, "What's going on?!"

Zeng Wenjie told the old man about his experience going down the mountain, and he described it vividly and exaggeratedly. The old man was frightened and most of the drunkenness disappeared.

Grandpa couldn't help but say with a dark face: "Nonsense, you are not allowed to go with your father to collect goods in the future!"

Zeng Wenjie shook his head and said, "Grandpa, I'm an adult, not a child anymore. If my dad goes to collect the goods, won't he be in danger?"

Grandpa stared at his grandson for a long while, then sighed and said, "Come, come with me to practice martial arts first. I'll teach you some fighting techniques."

Zeng Wenjie smiled, drank the ice cola in his hand in big gulps, and went to practice martial arts with his grandfather.

After practicing for an hour or so, Zeng Wenjie invited Shi Jing to take a bath in the Baishui River without telling him what happened today.

The grandfather looked at his grandson's back with a complicated look in his eyes. After a while, he let out a breath helplessly.

Although Zeng Wenjie didn't mention asking him to quit drinking today, he felt even more depressed.

Shi Jing couldn't help but complain, "Where have you been? The old man almost killed Huazi and me in that exercise today. Huazi said he couldn't take it anymore and he doesn't plan to come tomorrow!"

Zeng Wenjie certainly knew that Hu Guohua was a lazy person and his family was well-off, so he didn't even rub his own underwear.

"It's fine if he doesn't want to practice, but don't you want to carry your speakers and dominate the world?" Zeng Wenjie said lightly.

"I want to!" Shi Jing said, and couldn't help humming the background music of Xiao Feng's appearance, "Dangdangdangdangdang, dangdangdangdangdang~"

"I look forward to the day when you will be able to dominate the world." Zeng Wenjie patted his shoulder and stood up from the water. Shi Jing saw his brother's brother and couldn't help but curse. His name was Niubai, but he was not really that awesome.

After taking a bath, Zeng Wenjie and his father purified the raw goods they received today. After weighing them on the scale, they found that the total weight was 600 grams, and they could make about 6,000 yuan after selling them.

Based on the current gold price, a businessman like Zeng Xiangdong can only make a profit of about ten yuan per gram.

If there are no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference, the price can be increased by another two or three yuan. If you are willing to sell it yourself in other provinces, the profit will be even greater.

"This coal ash must be properly collected, so that people can pay to recycle it later." Zeng Wenjie cleaned the stove and collected the coal ash in a large bucket.

When gold is placed in a porcelain cup and melted, it will splash due to the high temperature and some of it will fall into the furnace. After cleaning and filtering, the gold can be extracted from the coal ash.

Zeng Wenjie said: "From now on, we don't have to pay people to clean the sewers. People will pay us to clean them."

Zeng Xiangdong asked, "Why?"

Zeng Wenjie was amused and said, "Those sulfuric acid solutions contain some gold and silver, so isn't that money?"

Zeng Xiangdong nodded, glanced at the time, and since it was already late at night, he said, "Go to bed early. We'll continue to collect goods at Yinziping tomorrow. I've already gotten the money from your grandmother!"

Zeng Wenjie gave a thumbs up and said, "Dad is reliable!"

After a good night's sleep, Zeng Wenjie got up early as usual, but this time he rode his father's motorcycle to Xinjie instead of running there foolishly.

After learning Russian with his grandfather for an hour, Zeng Wenjie returned home on his motorcycle, holding a bun in his mouth.

"Hey, Lao Zeng, you're out picking up the goods so early?" Zhang Laosan happened to pass by Zeng's house. When he saw Zeng Xiangdong, he couldn't help but say hello.

"Yes! I was unlucky yesterday and didn't receive any raw goods. I'd better go out early today." Zeng Xiangdong said.

"Haha, I thought you could make a lot of money if you went it alone!" Zhang Laosan said with a smile.

Zeng Xiangdong gave him a cigarette, chatted with him for a few minutes and then sent him off. He happened to see his son coming back.

Zeng Wenjie said: "Let's go and collect the goods!"

Zeng Xiangdong patted him on the back and said, "You're really capable of doing this. Can you only sleep for a few hours a day?"

Zeng Wenjie rubbed his red and swollen eyes and said, "I'm young! Besides, this is just a new business, so we won't have to work so hard in the future."

The father and son set out on their journey again, crossed the Baishui River by boat, and went to Yinziping to collect the goods.

The first stop was still Liu Zheng's, and I also asked if the goods from yesterday had been found.

"Don't mention it. Those two bastards are from Tingnan Province! They ran directly across the provincial border, and our people didn't dare to chase them." Liu Zheng said helplessly.

Baishui Town is located at the junction of Chongshan Province and Tingnan Province. If you go a little further from Yinziping, you will reach the territory of Tingnan Province.

The people of the two provinces are simple and hospitable. They often greet each other with stones, shoulder poles, and hoes in order to compete for several sensitive gold mines. The more enthusiastic ones even throw explosives at each other.

Liu Zheng hadn't produced any new goods yet, and the stone crusher was in operation. Zeng Wenjie didn't plan to wait, so he took his father directly to the next gold mine.

After all, we also need to get more familiar with other gold mines so that it will be easier to obtain goods and negotiate prices in the future.

After collecting 20,000 yuan worth of raw goods, totaling more than 200 grams, it was only three o'clock when the two of them went down the mountain.

As soon as I reached the ferry, I saw an old man coming down from the boat with a plastic bag in one hand and a stick in the other...
