Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"One hundred yuan."

If this happened in the country, it would probably only cost a few cents, not even enough to cover the cost of medicine.

However, since he was abroad, he still wanted to impress his foreign friends, so Mr. Zhou felt that his price was already at its maximum.

But Su Wanqing thought for a moment and then gave an even bolder number. After all, she had also consumed several tens of grams of her spiritual spring water:

"I have a thousand dollars here."

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhou and Old Lin's eyes widened in surprise. This girl really dared to ask for it.

Young Arendt nodded, finding it reasonable, and said to Victor:

"These acupuncture techniques in China are unique and top-notch, and the doctors I invited are the only ones in all of China who can treat this rare disease. I spent thirty million US dollars to have her treat my father, and you know, he was almost cured. But she's very kind and only charged you one hundred thousand US dollars. Oh, it's like a merciful God sent to save you."

As soon as Shen Ruolan translated, Deputy Commander Zhao's eyes widened. He had thought Su Yatou was bold enough, but he hadn't expected Little Arend to be even more ruthless.

"Would they spend $100,000 to save a few of their men?"

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

But when Victor on the other side heard this, he actually thought it made perfect sense.

These men aren't miners; if they were, he wouldn't pay them a single penny.

But these were all his trusted men, and given the failure of this mission, if they lost more men, he wouldn't be able to explain it back home. Victor surprisingly nodded:

"That makes perfect sense. Thank you, merciful God."

"One hundred thousand US dollars!" Deputy Commander Zhao exclaimed excitedly.

In the past, they had to sell a lot of good stuff to earn $100,000 in foreign exchange.

Although Little Arendt gave a lot during this trip abroad, this time it was Chinese medical techniques, and only a few acupuncture needles were used, yet so much was actually earned... The return obtained under such a strong disproportionate effort is simply unbelievable.

Old Zhou was also very excited: "I am willing to hand it all over to the organization to increase the country's foreign exchange reserves!"

Su Wanqing didn't care about this small amount of money. She was counting on the organization to create the materials for upgrading her space in the future, so she immediately said, "I'm also willing to hand it over to the organization."

Deputy Commander Zhao: "Very good, very good, the organization will not forget your contributions. The country is facing difficulties right now, and this is precisely the time when we need this foreign exchange… I won't stand on ceremony any longer, let's eat, everyone, hurry up and eat!"

Everyone was overjoyed; this trip abroad had been worthwhile! In the past, when they sent inspection teams abroad, they not only failed to earn foreign exchange, but they also had to lose money. This time, however, they were able to earn so much!

So everyone ate in a lively atmosphere, and even Chef Liang, who was serving the rice, gave Old Zhou and Su Wanqing extra portions.

Today's lunch was indeed unbelievably lavish.

First, there were several large pots of braised marmot meat. Chef Liang cut the marmot meat into chunks, blanched it to remove the fishy smell, and then stir-fried it in a pot with soy sauce, sugar, star anise, cinnamon, and dried chili peppers. He stewed it until it was tender and flavorful, with a firm texture but not dry, and it was even more fragrant than pork.

Next up is a mushroom stew, made by cooking three kinds of mushrooms together with wild yam and Jerusalem artichoke. The soup is rich and flavorful, the mushrooms are tender, the yam is soft, and the Jerusalem artichoke is crisp.

There was also a large plate of fried cicada nymphs, golden and crispy, sprinkled with salt and Sichuan peppercorn powder, one bite and your mouth is full of fragrance.

Finally, there were roasted button mushrooms. The mushroom caps were filled with juice, and a sprinkle of salt made them incredibly delicious. Everyone received a large bowl, even the miners who had worked that day received a bowl of thick meat soup with a few pieces of marmot meat and mushrooms.

Deputy Commander Zhao also gave the miners who helped with the work on the other side of the road a small bowl of food, but this food was only enough to fill them up a little.

When half of the Crawford family miners took the food back to eat, the others were incredibly envious.

This dish not only has meat but also mushrooms, and most importantly, the seasoning is incredibly fragrant. One bite and your tongue will melt from the aroma.

Those who didn't help could only watch enviously, while the others devoured the food with relish. Before they could even process it, it was all gone.

Now things are even worse; it would have been better not to eat at all, as they're now even hungrier and more craving food. They could only watch as Su Wanqing across from them devoured meat and drank soup with gusto, their mouths watering.

Victor, with dozens of wounded men, just watched from the opposite side.

Victor gritted his teeth; he originally wanted to buy some, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Besides, these were all picked by the other side. Why is it that the other side can pick such mushrooms and find such plump marmots, while we can't find anything here?

As the time was almost up, little Arendt chuckled.

Now he understood what Deputy Commander Zhao meant by "we'll talk about it after we've eaten."

"Listen up, everyone over there! My Arend family is willing to take you in! Come over now, and each of you will receive one hundred dollars, along with the same treatment as us. You can have another bowl of food! Anyway, your Crawford family's mines are all gone, and you're all out of work, so you might as well come and continue digging with my Arend family! The bonuses will also be the same as before! If you don't want to, then stay. But I'm telling you in advance, although you'll get money and food, you must work!"

When he said this, the hundreds of miners opposite him were stunned and couldn't believe it.

"Oh my god, a hundred dollars? Did I hear that right?"

"Not only do they give you money, but they also give you food? Oh my god, is that the little bit of delicious food we just ate really good? The food and meat were so delicious, I didn't even have time to savor it before it was gone!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"The key point is, will I be able to work at the Arend family's mines from now on?"

"Oh, God is merciful! I've long since left the Crawford family, I want to go now, I can start working immediately! I'm now willing to pledge allegiance to the Arendt family!"

"Now the Crawford family's mines are gone, and we've lost our jobs. It's amazing that the Arendt family is willing to take us in!"

"I'd do it, I'd do it! Just give me a little more food, I'll do anything!"

The miners on the other side didn't hesitate at all.

They got paid, had food, and most importantly, could work at the Arend family's mines in the future. Where else could they find such a good deal? So they flocked over immediately.

Seeing that everyone was arriving, Howard, the mine manager of Little Arend, shouted, "Alright, don't rush! Everyone who's here, register. Get your money now, and you can even go have another bowl right away!"
