Looking at Qin Feng's dark complexion, Feng Youcai believed his words a little more. It took such a hot weather to show off the complexion of an African brother...
Feng Youcai did not expect that Qin Feng was exposed to the sun at sea, because apart from being exposed to the sun, people who make a living at sea would not have such a complexion, and under that kind of exposure, the skin would have been injured long ago and could not be maintained at all.
"That's right, I worked for two years and finally saved some money. I didn't expect to encounter this shipwreck when I was almost home..."
Qin Feng nodded seriously and said, "Uncle Feng, you also know that it's not easy to make a living outside. I feel really close to you when I see you..."
"Xiao He, don't feel close to me first..."
Feng Youcai shook his head and said: "The sea is not calm. How about you and we believe that you are not a pirate? I will not let you board the ship without proof..."
Although Feng Youcai is kind-hearted, he is not pedantic. He will not do anything that would lead to the death of his own family in order to help others. Naturally, he cannot just listen to Qin Feng's words.
"prove?"
Qin Feng laughed bitterly when he heard this, and looked down at himself. Apart from the backpack he was carrying, was there only a pair of underwear left?
"If you don't prove it, you will have to live on this small boat."
Seeing that he was about to approach the fishing boat, Feng Youcai stood up and said: "Xiao He, it's not that your Uncle Feng is cruel. You will be warm on the boat, but there is nothing else. I will bring you water and food every day..."
There are many weapons on Feng Youcai's ship. As long as they don't cooperate inside and outside, it will be difficult for the pirates to board the ship, so putting Qin Feng in the speedboat is not a bad idea.
"No, Uncle Feng, there are still people on the desert island over there waiting for me to rescue them."
After hearing Feng Youcai's words, Qin Feng immediately burst into tears. If he had waited until he returned to the shore before organizing people to rescue Qin Dongyuan and the others, I am afraid that the young and old would have been anxious for a long time.
"Hey, brother, we are a fishing boat, not a rescue boat!"
Feng Youcai's nephew, Feng Dade, muttered angrily to Qin Feng. Seeing Qin Feng carrying a broken bag, he really didn't look like he had any money. Saving him was a loss-making business.
"Dear Virtue, don't talk like that."
Feng Youcai reprimanded his nephew, looked at Qin Feng and said: "Xiao He, you also know that every time we go to sea, the cost is very high. It's okay if we can catch fish, but if we can't catch fish and go back, we will really lose everything."
…”
Feng Youcai's words were tantamount to politely rejecting Qin Feng. In recent years, almost every family in the coastal areas has been fishing, and all the fish in the offshore areas have been caught long ago.
Feng Youcai followed the trend and bought this boat, and spent a total of nearly three million. But he bought the fishing boat for more than a year, and every time he went out to sea, he only caught small fish and shrimps. He didn't make much money in a year, but he paid more.
Enter four to five hundred thousand in gas money.
Feng Youcai ran a little far this time because he wanted to catch more fish and go back. Otherwise, by the time of the fishing moratorium, Feng Youcai might not even have the money to maintain the boat.
Therefore, Feng Youcai is really unwilling to follow Qin Feng to save people, because if he goes to save people, this trip will be in vain, and he will have to pay hundreds of thousands of gas money.
"Hey, this is easy to do!"
After hearing Feng Youcai's words, Qin Feng's eyes lit up and he said, "Uncle Feng, if I hire you to rescue people, wouldn't this solve the problem?"
"Hire us?"
Feng Dade looked Qin Feng up and down and said, "Why are you hiring us? There is nothing valuable in your body. We don't believe your empty words..."
"Of course it's not just empty talk, you guys come up with a price!"
Qin Feng chuckled, not to mention, there were really two good things in his backpack. He originally took them out as a thought, but he didn't expect that he would use them immediately.
"When we go out to sea, we need to catch at least 300,000 fish before we lose money."
Feng Youcai thought for a moment and said: "If you want to hire my ship, five hundred thousand is enough, but do you have the money?
Xiao He, let me tell you, you stay with me at sea for a few days, and when you return, you ask people from the Maritime Safety Administration to come to the rescue, and it doesn’t cost a penny..."
"How many days to wait? How much time do you have to return?" Qin Feng asked. He was already on his fifth day at sea. I'm afraid Qin Dongyuan and others were already impatient to wait.
"If it's faster, half a month, if it's slower, it might take twenty days..."
Feng Youcai smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, there were a lot of fish in this sea area. I don't know what happened these days. I even made several nets but all were empty. Now I am in trouble..."
Feng Youcai now regrets following the trend and joining the fishing boat. He originally opened an auto repair shop and the business was very good. It was because he saw others making money fishing and couldn't stand the encouragement of several relatives that he sold the auto repair shop and bought it.
fishing boat.
But not only did I owe hundreds of thousands of dollars when I bought the fishing boat, but I also lost hundreds of thousands in the past year. I saw that the fishing boat could not make back its money, and it was getting deeper and deeper into trouble.
"Fifty thousand, right? I'll pay for it!"
Qin Feng didn't wait for Feng Youcai to finish complaining, and said directly: "Uncle Feng, you know that I dug gold in Africa, and I don't have any money. Can I use gold to offset the debt?"
"Of course you can use gold!" Before Qin Feng finished speaking, Feng Dade's eyes turned to his backpack.
In coastal areas such as Zhejiang Province, gold is very popular, especially when a girl in the family gets married. If she does not have a set of gold jewelry, she will be looked down upon by people from all over the country. Even the daughter-in-law’s family will look down on her.
Low son-in-law.
Feng Dade had a girlfriend last year, and they have reached the stage of marriage. The girl's requirements are not high. Four gold bracelets, four gold necklaces and four gold rings. If these conditions are met, Feng Dade can marry his wife immediately.
If this condition were compared to previous years, Feng Dade's father would still be able to fulfill it. After all, the total amount is only 100,000 yuan. In a wealthy place like theirs, this number is not very high.
But just last year, Feng Dade's father, Feng Youzhi, bought this fishing boat in partnership with his younger brother. The family had no money left. Where could they get the money for their son's gift?
Because of this matter, Feng Dade was often angry with his father and uncle, so when he heard that Qin Feng had gold, his eyes immediately lit up like a charged light bulb.
"Dade, that was paid for by someone else's life!"
Feng Youcai was a kind man. Although he also guessed that there was gold in Qin Feng's backpack, he did not say it. Instead, he scolded his nephew.
"You can exchange your life for money, and you can exchange your life for money!"
Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Among the people trapped on the island are my juniors. If the adults don't save them, the children must be saved. Uncle Feng, I'm out of the five hundred thousand you mentioned..."
"
While Qin Feng was talking, he took out a bright golden thing from his backpack. When the strong light from the fishing boat was shining on the lifeboat, the gold brick suddenly emitted a bright golden light.
"This...is this gold?"
Seeing the gold bricks that Qin Feng brought out, the three people on the boat were all dumbfounded. Growing up, they had often heard people mention gold bricks, but such a big gold brick belonged to this father, son, uncle and nephew.
Several people have never dreamed of it.
"Yes, it's gold. And it's very pure!"
Qin Feng nodded and said: "We have contracted a waste mine. A lot of horseshoe gold was dug out from it, and it was later refined and made into two gold bricks..."
Although they had not been in contact for a long time, Qin Feng could tell that this middle-aged man named Feng Youcai was a very decent person and would definitely not be someone who wanted to make money.
As for his nephew, although he was a little greedy, he probably couldn't do anything like killing people and stealing goods. Of course, if they really did this, Qin Feng wouldn't mind taking advantage of him and robbed the ship to pick up Qin Dongyuan.
et al.
"Is this...such a big gold brick?"
Qin Feng's words made Feng Youcai wake up, but his son Feng Dajun and nephew Feng Dade still looked straight at the gold brick.
"Cough...cough..." Feng Youcai coughed hard several times, and stabbed his son and nephew several times with his arm. The two boys finally came to their senses and looked at Qin Feng with a look of disbelief on their faces.
"Brother He, is mining in Africa... so profitable?"
Until this moment, Feng Dade's eyes were still full of gold stars. He was almost driven crazy by the betrothal gift. When he saw this gold brick, he wished he could go to Africa to dig gold mines.
"Pure workers naturally don't make money, but if you can buy a small mine, you have the possibility of making a fortune." Qin Feng opened his mouth and started talking nonsense. Anyway, these words were told to him by Bai Zhentian, and Qin Feng was just paraphrasing them.
That’s all.
"Yes, that is also a place where individuals can eat people. Not everyone can go there."
Feng Youcai sighed and said: "Dade, didn't a few young people in the town to the east go to Africa to mine? Five of them went, but one came back, and the other four died there..."
"Yes, Second Uncle, we can't do that job." Feng Youcai's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down Feng Dade's neck, immediately extinguishing his desire to mine.
"Brother He, can you show me this gold brick?"
Feng Dade finally had some insight. He wanted to see whether the gold was real or fake. It would be a big joke if someone took a piece of brass and mistook it for gold.
"Here, this thing is quite heavy. You have to hold it!"
Qin Feng handed the gold brick to Feng Dade. Feng Dade panicked and quickly stretched out his hands to take it. As soon as he got it, his hands suddenly sank, and he almost lost control.
The weight of gold is much heavier than ordinary metals. Such a large gold brick weighs more than five kilograms. According to Qin Feng's estimation, it may reach seven kilograms.
"Yes...it's gold..." After taking the gold brick, Feng Dade held it to his mouth, took a hard bite, and then placed the gold brick in front of him. Several teeth marks were clearly visible.
Although he couldn't afford gold jewelry, Feng Dade often went to jewelry stores with his girlfriend, and he still had a good eye for identifying gold. After taking one bite, he immediately became convinced.
"Of course it's true." Qin Feng glanced at Feng Dade and said, "Do you have any knives on you?"
"What do you want a knife for?" Feng Dade glanced at Qin Feng warily and took a step back.
"I cut this gold into pieces so that you don't think it's just coated with gold," Qin Feng said.
"Can't the knife cut it?"
Feng Dade knew that although gold was very soft, it could not be cut with a knife, but even so, he still handed Qin Feng a small knife on his waist.
"Watch it!"
Qin Feng first placed the gold on the deck of the lifeboat. Then he pressed the blade on the gold brick and pressed down hard. The gold brick was cut into two pieces silently.
"This...it's cut." Feng Youcai and others rubbed their eyes as if dreaming. None of them expected that Qin Feng actually cut the gold with a knife.
"With skill, anyone can cut it if you become proficient." Qin Feng smiled. He handed the cut section of gold to Feng Dade and said, "Brother Dade, look at whether this is gold..."
Compared with the surface of the gold brick, the color of the cut surface was purer. Feng Dade just stuck out his tongue and licked it, and then said with certainty: "It is gold, and the purity is very high, it can reach 24k..."
"How about it? I will use this gold to hire your ship, do you agree?" Qin Feng struck while the railway was hot.
"Give us all this...all the gold bricks?" Feng Dade's eyes almost burst into flames. He firmly grabbed the half of the gold bricks and couldn't bear to let go.
"Master, what are you talking about? Half a piece is more than enough."
Feng Youcai glared at his nephew. The price of gold has increased a lot in the past two years. It has reached more than 150 yuan per gram. One kilogram is 150,000 yuan. The other party's gold brick is at least five kilograms. Then
But it’s nearly a million.
"Uncle Feng, as long as you can save people, this gold brick will be yours." Qin Feng said: "There is no value in gold before human life. Will you accept this job?"
"Take it, why don't you pick it up!" Before Feng Youcai could say anything, Feng Dade shouted: "We will bring a lot of oil when we go out to sea this time. We can even go to the Pacific Ocean..."
"Don't make such nonsense..." Feng Youcai interrupted his nephew and said, "Xiao He, are you really willing to use this gold brick to hire us? Don't you have any other ideas?"
Feng Youcai was older after all, and he was afraid that Qin Feng was part of some pirate gang, so he took a gold brick and asked them to make it into a urn and send it to his door automatically.
"Second uncle, what else can you think about?"
Feng Dade said dissatisfied: "If he is really a pirate, can the pirate gang trust him to use such a large gold brick as bait? I think what Brother He said is true..."
"pirate?"
It was only at this moment that Qin Feng understood why this family was so defensive about him. He couldn't help but said in a dumbfounded voice: "Uncle Feng, your imagination is too rich. I am floating on the sea with two gold bricks in my bag. If pirates
If so, aren't you afraid that the gold brick will fall into the sea?"
As he spoke, Qin Feng took out another gold brick. The bright gold brick emitted a dazzling golden light, making Feng Youcai and others stunned again.
"It seems I misunderstood you..."
Seeing Qin Feng take out another gold brick, Feng Youcai's doubts disappeared. The combined value of these two gold bricks can buy a fishing boat like theirs. Only the pirate boss's brain is broken, so he would let his men take it.
To make bait.
"Come up, let's go up and talk. Brother He must be hungry after spending a day floating on the sea..."
At this moment, Feng Dade's attitude was completely different from before. He shouted at the fishing boat to lower the hook and prepared to use the winch to pull the lifeboat directly up.
"Brother Dade, please keep these two gold bricks for now..." Seeing that Feng Dade had not let go of the hand holding the half of the gold brick, Qin Feng simply handed over the other half of the cut piece.
past.
"This... my second uncle should take it!" Feng Dade was also sensible and stuffed the two gold bricks into Feng Youcai's arms.
"I don't care who takes care of you. If you come next, you have agreed to my employment!" Qin Feng laughed and made a joke with a few people.
"Xiao He, you should tell me the location of the deserted island first!" Feng Youcai paused while holding the gold brick. Although the gold is good, he must be able to earn it.
"Go all the way east from here. With the speed of your ship, you can definitely get there in two days..."
Qin Feng pointed to the east. At this time, he had already seen that the golden falcon flew to a signal receiver at the highest point of the fishing boat, but it regarded it as a temporary bird's nest.
"Going east? It's quite peaceful over there..."
Feng Youcai knew that after the kidnapping case at sea last year, the Maritime Safety Administration and the navy conducted a sweep of the coastal waters. Now, even if there are pirates, they have all hid far away.
"Xiao He, we took over this business!"
Thinking of this, Feng Youcai nodded heavily, but handed the gold to Qin Feng and said: "It won't be too late to give me the gold when you get to the place..."
"Uncle Feng, you'd better take it."
Qin Feng pushed back with a smile and said: "You don't know, gold is nothing in the sea. Even if someone offered me such a big piece of bread in exchange, I would be willing to..."
"That's true!" Feng Youcai nodded in agreement. When a person is in a desperate situation, things outside the body really have no effect. Sometimes, they are not even as effective as a glass of water.
"Second uncle, hurry up and let Brother He get on the boat and have something hot to eat!"
Seeing that his second uncle was still pushing back, Feng Dade wanted to hold the two gold bricks in his arms and keep them for himself. At this time, the lifeboat had already risen to the deck, and Feng Dade took advantage of the situation and pulled his second uncle down.
"Yes, yes, look at me being so confused..."
Feng Youcai nodded repeatedly and said to his son: "Dajun, hurry up and get a bowl of noodles, crack a few eggs and bring it over. Dade, go find some suitable clothes and take Xiao He to take a bath first. Then soak in the sea water."
It’s not comfortable on me…”
Feng Youcai's fishing boat was full of family members, so naturally he did all these things himself. After the arrangements were made, the people on the boat immediately became busy, and no one even checked the net that had just been lowered.
"The power of this money is really great!"
Listening to Feng Youcai's arrangements and feeling the enthusiasm of Brother Feng Dade, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. The ancients said that money can make ghosts go around, and they are really honest.
