Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 6 Gold Laundering
The arctic grayling weighing almost two catties has been skillfully descaled and gutted. Now the only thing to do is to stew a pot of fish soup.

"If you persist, I will definitely buy you more dog food when I get rich." After carefully pulling out the fishbone, Chen Ruobai handed a piece of fish to Da Zhuang, "We have been doing well these two days, and we have dug a lot of ore. "

Da Zhuang didn't understand that, he was just feasting on it. He still liked fish, but he didn't like it as a staple food.

"This pit is not very good, I only dug about one meter before bottoming out." Looking at the pile of ore sand not far away, Chen Ruobai said to Da Zhuang, "That is to say, there is some ore sand on the surface, and the bottom is full of stones. It doesn't have much value, but it's not bad, I can save some capital first, so the mining difficulty is also low."

Da Zhuang still ignored Chen Ruobai, continued to feast, and got into the shack after eating.

Chen Ruobai looked at the pile of ore in front of him in a daze, and said to himself, "According to the expectation, it will take about ten days to dig out all the ore here. But I don't have enough supplies here, let's wash the ore tomorrow. Get some gold back and exchange it for money."

The method of washing ore is actually relatively simple, and Chen Ruobai actually has some preparations.He made some preparations before he came out, but he was full of confidence in his ability.

Maybe the method of washing ore is not advanced enough, and it is even no different from the miners 100 years ago.In some respects, Chen Ruobai, a novice, is not even as good as those experienced miners, and he actually only has a half-knowledge of many things.

Even if I have made up some knowledge before, it is still not rich enough, and the experience is relatively lacking.

Inexperienced, there is no way, and the only way to make up for this shortcoming is through continuous efforts in the future.

I am quite excited in my heart, because I am about to start mining, and I will know how much income I can get right away, and it is difficult not to be excited.

Chen Ruobai, who got up early, simply ate some dry food, and immediately started to act.

In the past two days, I still cut some wood. Although the manual chainsaw is a little smaller, it is barely enough.Anyway, he also worked as a professional lumberjack, and some things can be regarded as handy.

These logs were also cut into planks by Chen Ruobai during the work breaks. After a clanging effort, a mine trough with a length of about two meters was travelled, which was basically enough for use.

Fixing the mine trough in the pit dug in advance, Chen Ruobai continued to dig the pit hard to introduce the water flow.

Seeing the rather violent river water entering the mine trough, Chen Ruobai nodded in satisfaction.It is necessary to wash the ore with water, and the water flow is too fast, because it will wash away the gold sand.It will definitely not work if the water flow is small, then there is no way to wash away some gravel.

Although the river water flowing in the mine tank is only about ten centimeters deep, it is completely enough for Chen Ruobai.

Fortunately, the place Chen Ruobai dug this time was a river, so there were not many particularly large stones.It is basically some river sand, so basically there is no need to worry about it. Even if this small mine tank is a little smaller, it is barely enough.

Put the cheap carpet you brought at the end of the mine tank so that things like gold sand can be left behind.

When everything was ready, Chen Ruobai immediately started to act, digging up the ore piled up next to it and pouring it into the mine trough.

The river water was already turbid, but now that the ore was poured in, it looked even more turbid.

Repeat these seemingly unskilled tasks, and occasionally need to pick up and throw away the larger stones left in the mine tank.

Looking at the stone particles of different sizes on the mine trough, Chen Ruobai looked greedily at the tail of the mine trough.There is a golden light shining there, Chen Ruobai can be regarded as having a big explosion now, this time the washing of ore can be said to be quite successful.

"Stop working first, and collect it." Rubbing his sore arms, Chen Ruobai made a decision, "If you continue to wash, the mine tank won't be able to stand it."

Quickly blocked the small dam mouth upstream, and there was no water flow in the mine trough.Seeing that the water stopped completely, and seeing the densely packed pebbles on the mine trough, Chen Ruobai hurriedly cleaned the mine trough with a small broom made of branches.

They need to be reused, which naturally means that they need to be carefully protected. These things cannot be regarded as disposable products, otherwise the workload in the future will definitely increase.

After cleaning the mine trough, Chen Ruobai ran back to the small shack in two or three steps, and brought over the hanging pots and pans.Usually they are kitchen utensils, but this time they are about to become Chen Ruobai's gold dishes.

"I still need to buy a gold washing plate when I go back. The frying pan is not suitable for my hand." Chen Ruobai, who walked lightly, said to himself, "The gold washing plate is still easy to use, like a gong, and the gold washing efficiency will be high. a lot of."

Collect the carpets, not to mention that Chen Ruobai can see the golden light.Even people who cannot see the golden light can still see the dense layer of golden dust on the carpet.Some particles are bigger like rice grains, and some are even similar to sand.

After cleaning the carpet carefully, Chen Ruobai put the gold sand, river sand, etc. inside into the hanging pot.These seemingly ordinary sand and gravel still need to continue to be filtered.

The excited Chen Ruobai stood in the river, carefully touched some gravel, and began to shake gently.Throw away any sand, small rocks that have wobbled to the edge of the pan, and proceed to wash the gold.

Repeating these tasks, Chen Ruobai was excited when he saw a small layer of gold on the bottom of the pot.

"I will definitely have to remove impurities when I go back, but it should be very pure now!" Chen Ruobai carefully put the gold sand into the bottle he brought, thinking in his heart, "If this standard is followed, I can have at least two ounces of gold today."

Nearly three thousand dollars, even if you count the three days on the road, Chen Ruobai has been out for seven days.An income of three thousand dollars in a week is really not a small amount.

Chen Ruobai used to be a fisherman and logger, both of which were low-income groups.After a year of hard work, the annual income is basically about [-] US dollars.

Not to mention the developed economy in the United States, many people in the United States cannot reach the so-called middle class of $[-] to $[-].Farmers, waiters in restaurants, etc., basically have an annual income of [-] to [-] U.S. dollars.Those who are receiving assistance are disdainful, that's how they are working hard, they might as well just lie down and wait for government assistance.

Chen Ruobai started washing the ore carefully again, collected some gold, and became happier.

"According to this standard, we can dig here for another ten days, and we can wash the ore almost five times. Each time we can get two to three ounces of gold, that's at least ten ounces, about [-] US dollars!"

Thinking of this figure, Chen Ruobai was extremely happy. This income can greatly increase his net worth, and it can also make his future work much easier.

Continuing to wash the ore happily, it took Chen Ruobai more than half a day to completely complete the work here, and the first time to wash the ore was quite satisfactory.

Looking at the gold dust in the bottle, Chen Ruobai was even happier.Even after going back, there will definitely be a need for further cleaning and removal of impurities. Chen Ruobai thinks that this is a harvest close to three ounces, a relatively optimistic harvest, a little stronger than expected.

"Da Zhuang, let's go!" Chen Ruobai couldn't wait any longer, his heart was burning now, "Let's go now, let's catch the night road. I know the location here, let's go forward, through the forest, we should be able to walk to the road."

The dirty Da Zhuang wagged his tail and followed Chen Ruobai, he didn't need to care so much, just set off.

With one step deep and one step shallow, Chen Ruobai, who looked like a savage, set off like this, first walked along the river, and then got into the forest.

He took out his mobile phone from time to time, and although it took ten days and a half months to make a phone call with his family, Chen Ruobai was also worried that his family would call him and cut off the messages during this time.

In fact, when I came out, I also sent a message, a white lie saying that I would go out to work.Even Chen Ruobai didn't tell his family when he was indirectly blind some time ago, it was also a habit of reporting good news but not bad news.

This might not be good, but Chen Ruobai is really used to it.

Finally, there is a mobile phone signal, but there is no more important information.

Chen Ruobai also started calling immediately, "Ruen, hurry up and pick me up! Drive east along No. [-] Road, and you will see me soon."

Ryan Lesnar, one of the good buddies, couldn't recover, and muttered, "Dude, it's early morning now!"

"I know, but I'm on my way now with a flashlight!" Chen Ruobai said angrily, "Hurry up, I'm about to reach the highway, and I'm almost at the place where we used to fish."

Even if Lesnar is confused, but his good buddies have said so, he can only get up quickly.

Putting on his clothes in a hurry, Lesnar was still worried, "Javier, Robert may be in big trouble, with a gun, let's take him home!"
