The story of cabbage and gold mine

Two brothers who immigrated from Germany to the United States came to new york to make a living 1845. The two brothers feel that life is very difficult, so they discuss how to live. As an immigrant, my brother used to have a skill. When he was in Germany, kimchi was very good. My brother is too young to know anything. My brother said that it is too difficult for us foreigners to survive in a city like new york. I will go to California. I can grow vegetables and continue to cook my kimchi. My younger brother thought, I don't have any skills anyway, so I just decided to stay in new york, work during the day and study at night. He studies geology and metallurgy.

My brother came to a village in California, where there was very cheap land, so he bought Chinese cabbage and used it to pickle pickles when it matured. My brother is very diligent. He grows vegetables and pickles every day to support his family. Four years later, my brother graduated from college and came to California to visit his brother. The elder brother asked the younger brother, "What do you have now?" The younger brother said, "I have nothing but a diploma." My brother said, "You'd better do it with me. Let me show you my vegetable field. "

In the vegetable field, my brother squatted down to look at the vegetables, then pulled the soil under the vegetables and watched them for a long time. Then he went into the house, took a washbasin, filled it with water, and washed the soil one by one.

He found some golden shiny metal scraps under the washbasin. Then, he raised his head in surprise, looked at his brother, sighed and said, "Brother, do you know? You grow cabbage in a gold mine! "
