Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

In the gold mining base in the Yukon region, Jiang Bing was losing his temper. He had a strange temper, but he was actually very reserved and didn't easily get into conflict with others.

His mood has been very unstable these days. Even Lao Zhu has been yelled at by him twice. Wu Xing is probably the only one in the entire base who has not been yelled at by him.

"What the hell, you damaged two buckets in one day. How much gold can you dig? Is it enough to buy two buckets?"

When he got angry, everyone's ears automatically blocked out the sound. There was nothing they could do as he was a skilled worker and they couldn't afford to offend him.

"Brother Jiang, my truck won't start again." Second Brother Liu Jing said carefully, and then he waited for the storm to come.

Sure enough, Jiang Bing got even angrier. "It's freezing cold, and you ask me what I can do. You know you're cold when you sleep, so you cover yourself with a blanket. But you didn't expect your truck would be cold.

I told you that the axle was turning 24/, why did you stop the truck? "

Liu Jing felt very aggrieved. He had just stopped to refuel and check the car, but it turned out that it wouldn't start.

If it came to a fight, he could beat ten Jiang Bing by himself, but this time Jiang Bing scolded him like a grandson and he didn't dare to say a word.

The reason why he was so angry was that Jiang Bing hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. The gold mining personnel could work in two shifts, but he was the only maintenance worker who could do the job.

These days, it often happens that he just lies down and wants to take a nap, and the next moment the machine stops, and he has to get up again.

Even the best-tempered person can't stand this, but no matter how angry he is, the problem still needs to be solved, so let's look at Jiang Bing, a typical Qilu man,

While solving the problem, she kept muttering to herself, and she seemed no different from the woman at home.

"This won't work, Brother Zhu. Did Aqin say when he'll be here?" Wu Xing took off his hat and scratched his sparse hair. He hadn't washed his hair for half a month and it was itchy.

Old Zhu put his hands in his sleeves and stamped his feet from time to time. "This damn weather is even colder than our Qilu area. Damn it, it's not even October yet and it's already snowing three times.

Ah Qin called me before, probably in the past few days."

"I don't think he'll show up tomorrow, so let's stop. There's really no profit to be made from such a loss."

Old Zhu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slowly, "If we keep working on it, Xiao Jiang will get sick, and the soil we prepared is almost used up. It's impossible to dig new soil now."

Soon it was time for lunch, but no one dared to stop the machines, so they had to eat in shifts. While they were eating, a pickup truck drove up to the base.

Kane opened the door and jumped down. Seeing that the machine was still ringing, he shook his head and walked to Wu Xing, "Where's Joey?"

The two of them couldn't understand English, so they had to pull Ruan Cheng over to act as an interpreter, "Uncle Wu, where is Kane asking about Joey?"

Old Zhu couldn't help but snort, "That old guy really knows how to enjoy himself. He ran away when the first snow fell."

Kane naturally wouldn't accuse someone of being lazy or not, he was just an outsider, but out of gratitude to Zhao Qin, he still suggested, "This year's gold rush season is over, you can't keep doing it this way."

"Thank you Kane, we're thinking of stopping tomorrow."

Seeing that they listened to his advice, Kane smiled and waved for help to unload a reindeer he had brought with him. "This is something I hunted myself. You can keep it for yourself."

Old Zhu muttered unmercifully, "It smells fishy. What's so delicious about it?"

The taste of reindeer meat is really not good. It is okay if it is dried and sprinkled with chili powder, but if eaten fresh, it tastes far worse than pork.

Wu Xing thanked him again. Kane was about to leave when he saw another dirty pickup truck driving over. It stopped at the place, the door opened, and Zhao Qin jumped out from the passenger seat.

Seeing that it was him, everyone gathered around him.

"Aqin, you are finally here."

"Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much." As he said that, Kane walked up to him and hugged him.

"Kane, you seem to have gained weight again. This is not a good sign."

"No, no, no, Zhao, this sentence makes me so sad." Knowing that Zhao Qinlai must be busy, Kane didn't want to stay any longer. After greeting him again, he drove away.

Chen Dong gritted his teeth and got out of the car. As soon as he got out, he felt the cold air rushing towards him, and then it kept drilling into the gaps between his bones. In just a short while, his whole body felt like he was naked.

In Anchorage, he listened to Zhao Qin and prepared hats, scarves, gloves, sweaters, down jackets, etc., but it still felt not enough.

The one who drove them here was Lydia, and this girl seemed to be fine.

"How's the situation?" Zhao Qin had just finished asking when he heard the sound of teeth chattering behind him. He turned his head and grinned, "Come into the house first. It's warm inside."

Chen Dong ran into one of the containers without saying a word. It was indeed quite nice inside. Not only was there a heating stove, but there was also a thermal insulation layer inside the container.

Zhao Qin was not in a hurry to go in. He followed Zhu and Wu and went directly to the gold panning site.

Looking at the long icicles formed under the running screening machine, there is no need to say anything, it is indeed time to end.

"The soil should be frozen."

Old Zhu pointed to a pile of soil in the distance and explained, "Following Old Wu's advice, we stopped washing for half a month in August and worked day and night to prepare soil materials.

The soil we are washing now is the soil we dug out before. Although it is frozen, it is not solid. "

Zhao Qin nodded slightly and looked at his watch. "We'll stop working for another two hours. This is the end of the year. After you're done, come home with me and have a good rest. We'll fight again next year."

Lao Zhu and Lao Wu had already made the decision, but they felt a little reluctant when they thought about the imminent shutdown.

"Junior brother, you are here."

Zhao Qin looked at his senior brother Wang Jiasheng in front of him. This guy was thinner than before, with dishevelled hair and a dirty face. He looked completely different from his previous image of a hermit.

"Big Brother, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

"What are you talking about? You can chat with Uncle Wu and Uncle Zhu first. I'm just feeding the soil." Wang Jiasheng greeted them and returned to his work.

Zhao Qin did not enter the house, but stood beside the washing machine.

Old Zhu complained, "That guy named Joey disappeared as soon as the snow started. Aqin, foreigners are just unreliable and too lazy."

After saying that, he felt that this statement was too broad, and added, "Arnold is a good kid, he can endure hardships."

Zhao Qin smiled and comforted him, "Uncle Zhu, this mine used to belong to Joey. When he was the boss, he was even lazier than he is now. But this guy is really no good, so he can forget about this year's bonus."

"No wonder such a good mine went bankrupt."

Zhao Qin couldn't help laughing again.

He didn't have to wait for two hours, because he had been standing there for less than an hour when the two screening machines, as if they had agreed on something, went on strike one after the other.

Jiang Bing, with his messy hair and untidy beard, checked it and sighed again, "The machine also has its limits. It can be repaired, but it will take at least two or three days."

"Okay, stop all work."

There was no cheering, but everyone looked relieved and walked slowly towards the camp.

"Brother Bing, just leave them here. Don't move them this year. We can come earlier next year." Zhao Qin advised.

"Ah Qin, you go do your thing. I have to drain all the water from the machine and the car's water tanks, otherwise the water tanks will freeze."
