Chapter 1807 EP1809. Summer vacation (Part 2)

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

Of course, compared to the history of the hotel, they were more interested in the gold panning in the river.

"Let's get started~, what's the first step?" Looking at James with expectation, Kongxiang couldn't wait to pick up a gold panning plate and held it tightly in his hand.

"Uh..." Looking at Kongxiang who was eager to try, James quickly stopped him and said, "Before going into the water, it's best to put on a pair of rubber overalls. Although it is summer now and the temperature is much higher than other times, the water in this stream is actually a little cold. After all, its source is groundwater, unlike lake water that is always exposed to the sun."

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

"It's not that cold."

For ordinary women, these streams flowing out of the underground dark river may be a little cold.

But for Kongxiang and the other shipgirls, this temperature would not make them feel cold, let alone catch a cold or contract other diseases.

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

"You are the one who has too many troubles." Rubbing Kongxiang's head, Shi Xiaolei nagging while carrying her back from the stream: "Hurry up, pick a suitable one to wear."

"Well~, okay, okay, just give you face."

There were more than 30 people who came to participate in the experience activity. Most of them were destroyers and submarine girls. There were only seven or eight "adults" in the team, including Shi Xiaolei and Skye.

Fortunately, the hotel often receives guests staying in families, and has prepared a sufficient number of children's rubber clothes early.

"Hey~." After putting on the rubber jacket clumsily, Kongxiang moved his hands and feet while raising his head excitedly: "Commander, I'm dressed~!"

Without avoiding James at all, Kongxiang called Shi Xiaolei "Commander" in person.

Why didn't he change his name to another one? Wouldn't calling him commander directly arouse suspicion from James and other staff? Perhaps many friends would question this.

No need to worry.

Firstly, Shi Xiaolei actually paid a lot of money, which has left a deep impression on the hotel staff. As practitioners in the service industry, they have been dazzled by the gold coins Shi Xiaolei has thrown out, and it is impossible for them to risk offending the sponsor to think about those things.

On the other hand, it is because Shi Xiaolei explained to James in advance. In his words, the "Commander" called by the girls is just a nickname.

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

"No need." Shaking his head, Shi Xiaolei added a little strength and put on one leg of pants awkwardly: "Hmm, it seems a little tight."

"This is the first time we have received a guest with your figure." Looking at Shi Xiaolei, James showed an apologetic smile on his face.

"It's okay, I understand." After feeling it for a few seconds, Shi Xiaolei felt that it was too tight, so he simply took off the rubber jacket that he was half wearing: "Forget it, I won't wear it. Anyway, I'm a big man, the water temperature is lower, it's no big deal."

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

"Okay, okay, it's not your problem, you don't have to apologize anymore." Shi Xiaolei waved his hand and smiled, and turned to look at the girls.

Some moved faster, and some were a little slower. With the help of each other, the girls spent nearly ten minutes and finally changed into the clothes suitable for going into the water.

Seeing that Shi Xiaolei was not wearing anything, Kongxiang pestered him again: "Commander, why aren't you wearing anything? This is unfair~."

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

"Humph, it's unfair anyway~."

"Okay, okay." Too lazy to argue with Kongxiang, Shi Xiaolei simply changed the subject: "Didn't we say that we should compare who can pan out the most gold sand? If you keep on wasting time, others will take up all the space."

There were more than just James who came to the creek to guide the gold panning. In addition, his main job was the hotel manager, and he often went out to provide guidance to the guests in person...

While Kongxiang was still pestering Shi Xiaolei, someone had already waded into the creek and started to operate under the guidance of more skilled employees.

"Hmm? Oops~!" Turning around, Kong Xiang quickly ran away from Shi Xiaolei and rushed into the stream with the gold pan in his hand.

"Be careful, don't fall~!" Looking at Kong Xiang's noisy back, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but remind her again.

"I know, I know, Commander, you are so nagging."

Watching Kong Xiang until she went to Missouri and started to work under the guidance of the "teacher", Shi Xiaolei retracted his gaze and looked at James who was still standing in front of him.

"Thank you, James."

"Yes, this is my job." Shrugging, James also took steps, walking side by side with Shi Xiaolei toward the creek: "Follow me, I know a place with more golden sand."

Going down to the stream, Shi Xiaolei gently scooped up a plate of river sand from the stream.

Following James' instructions, he half-immersed the gold pan in the water, sometimes shaking it twice in the direction of the water flow, sometimes turning his back to avoid the erosion of the water flow, and waiting for the gravel in the plate to settle. As time passed by, after three or five minutes, most of the gravel on the plate had been washed away, and some tiny golden dots were revealed among the fine river sand that remained.

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

"That's right, what you see now is the light emitted by the golden sand." Taking a closer look, James replied with a smile: "Although the main vein has been mined out, there are only some left that are not worth the effort. It’s gold sand mined, but if you’re lucky, you can find more than ten grams of gold in one day.”

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