Chapter 1807 EP1809. Summer Vacation (Part 2)

After listening to a story told by James, the girls had a deeper understanding of the origin of this hotel.

Of course, compared to the history of the hotel, they are still more interested in the matter of going down the river to pan for gold.

"Let's get started~, what's the first step?" Looking at James with full expectation, Kong Xiang couldn't wait to pick up a gold pan and hold it firmly in his hand.

"Uh..." Looking at the eager fantasy, James hurriedly stopped: "Before going into the water, it is best to put on a pair of rubber overalls. Although it is summer, the temperature is much higher than other times, but this creek The stream in the lake is actually a bit cold. After all, its source is groundwater, unlike lake water which is always exposed to the sun.”

"No way..." Blinking, Xiangxiang suddenly turned around, ran to the edge of the stream a few steps, squatted down and touched the water.

"It's not that cold."

For ordinary women, these streams flowing from underground rivers may be a bit cold.

But if it were Xiangxiang and a group of ship girls, this temperature would not make them feel cold, let alone cause them to catch a cold or contract other diseases.

However, thinking that it is better to have less than more, Shi Xiaolei still stood up.

"You have a lot of things to do." Shi Xiaolei rubbed Xiang Xiang's head, while nagging, he carried her back from the stream: "Hurry up, pick something that fits you and put it on."

"Well~, alright, alright, I'll take it as a way of saving face for you."

A total of more than 30 people followed to participate in the experience activities. The vast majority of them are expulsion girls and submarine girls, and there are only seven or eight people in the team who can be regarded as 'adults', including Shi Xiaolei and Skye.

Fortunately, the hotel often receives guests who stay as a family, and has prepared a sufficient number of rubber leather clothes for children early.

"Hey~." Putting on the rubber jacket clumsily, Dianxiang raised his head excitedly while moving his hands and feet: "Commander, I'm ready~!"

Without avoiding James at all, Fang Xiang carelessly called Shi Xiaolei to his face as commander.

Why didn't you change your name to another name? Wouldn't James and the other staff be suspicious of calling the commander directly? There may be many friends who will question this point.

Don't worry.

In the first place, Shi Xiaolei actually paid a lot of money, which has already left a deep impression in the hearts of the hotel staff. As practitioners in the service industry, they were already dazzled by the gold coins that Shi Xiaolei threw out, and it was impossible for them to risk offending the money owner to think about what they had.

On the other hand, it was because Shi Xiaolei had explained to James in advance. In his words, the 'commander' that the girls yelled was just a nickname.

"Mr. Locke, do you need my help?" It is not difficult to see from James' reaction that he has no doubts at all.

"No need." Shaking his head, Shi Xiaolei exerted a little more strength, and put on a pair of trouser legs awkwardly: "Well, it seems a little tight."

"This is the first time we have received a guest of your stature." Looking at Shi Xiaolei, James had a sorry smile on his face.

"It's okay, I can understand." Feeling it for a few seconds, Shi Xiaolei felt that it was too tight, so Shi Xiaolei simply took off the half-worn rubber leather jacket: "Forget it, I won't wear it. Anyway, we are old men, The lower the water temperature, the lower it is, no big deal."

"I'm really sorry for not being well prepared."

"It's okay, it's not your problem, and you don't need to apologize anymore." Waving his hands and smiling, Shi Xiaolei turned his head to look at the girls.

Some move faster, and some move a little slower. With the help of each other, the girls spent nearly ten minutes finally changing into the outfits suitable for going into the water.

Seeing that Shi Xiaolei wasn't wearing it, Kongxiang clung to him relentlessly: "Commander, why aren't you wearing it? It's not fair~."

"Is it because I don't want to wear it?" He bent his finger and flicked it on Kongxiang's forehead, Shi Xiaolei rolled his eyes: "There is no suitable size, so I didn't wear it. This is called an irresistible factor, understand?"

"Hmph, it's unfair anyway~."

"That's enough." Shi Xiaolei was too lazy to argue with Xiang Xiang, so he simply changed the subject: "Isn't it meant to compare who can find the most gold dust? If you continue to grind, others will take up the space."

James is not the only staff who came to guide the gold panning by the creek, and his job is the hotel manager, so he doesn’t often end up in person to provide guidance to the guests...

While fantasy was still entangled with Shi Xiaolei, someone had already waded into the creek, and began to operate under the guidance of more skilled employees.

"Huh? Oops~!" Turning his head to look, Xiangxiang quickly ran away from Shi Xiaolei, and rushed into the creek with the gold pan that he had never left his hand.

"Be careful, don't fall~!" Looking at Kongxiang's bluffing back, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help exhorting again.

"I got it, I got it, Commander, you're really long-winded."

Staring at the fantasy, until she went to Missouri and started to work under the guidance of the 'teacher', Shi Xiaolei then looked away and looked at James who was still standing in front of him.

"Please, James."

"Should be, this is my job." Shrugging his shoulders, James also stepped forward, walking side by side with Shi Xiaolei towards the creek: "Come with me, I know a place with a lot of sand~www.mtlnovel. com~ Going down to the stream, Shi Xiaolei gently scooped up a plate of river sand from the stream.

According to James' instructions, half-immerse the gold pan in the water, sometimes shake it twice in the direction of the water flow, and sometimes carry it back to avoid the washing of the water flow, and wait for the gravel in the plate to settle. As time passed, after three to five minutes, most of the gravel in the plate had been washed away, and some small golden dots had appeared in the remaining fine river sand.

"Are these all gold dust?" Picking up the gold pan, Shi Xiaolei pointed to the shining golden dots, and turned to look at James beside him.

"That's right, what you see now is the light from the golden sands." Taking a closer look, James replied with a smile: "Although the main ore veins have been mined out, there are only a few that are not worth the effort. The gold sand is mined, but if you are lucky, you can find more than ten grams of gold in a day."

"A dozen grams?" Shi Xiaolei raised his eyebrows, and asked suspiciously: "Are you sure? One ounce is just over twenty-eight grams, and if it is more than ten grams, it is almost half an ounce. According to the current price of gold, Half an ounce of gold can be worth eight or nine hundred dollars. I mean... if you can earn eight or nine hundred dollars by panning river sand for a day, a daily income like this should attract many people to come here to pan for gold. ?”
