The happy little days of the Ye family

After lunch, the whole family sat together and took out all the things they found this morning.

Mrs. Ye took stock of everyone's gains with a smile on her face.

Old Mrs. Ye: an embroidery pattern album, various tools for making embroidery, two 30-tael silver notes, two gold pieces of one-tael weight, a pair of silver earrings, a pair of silver earrings, 12 taels in cash silver.

Not counting things used for embroidery, the remaining items totaled 92 taels and 8 yuan.

This was a huge amount of money, and everyone raised their thumbs, and there was an endless stream of compliments.

Mrs. Ye was originally in a good mood, and she was even more elated by everyone's kind words.

Father Ye: 9 taels and 8 coins in cash, and a gold safety lock of taels.

One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, a total of 39 taels of 8 coins.

"Dad, you've got a good harvest today." Ye Xilin's tone was sour, and he was very greedy for the shining golden safety lock.

"No problem, I'll just look for it."

Ye's father said it lightly, but his face was full of pride, which made Ye Xilin so angry that his teeth itched.

Ye Donglin: 5 coins in cash, a jade pendant, three writing brushes, three ink sticks, an inkstone, a Persian carpet, and two travel notes.

If everything is sold, there will be about 12 taels here.

Although Ye Donglin didn't find much today, when he glanced at the small pile of copper coins in front of Ye Xilin, his face was full of pride, and his tail was about to go up to the sky.

Wang Chunyu: One or two gold gourds, two copybooks, a set of enlightenment books, four writing brushes, four ink sticks, a knife of fine rice paper, and two old sets of the four treasures of the study.

All things added together are probably worth about 15 taels.

Looking at the small pile of things in front of him, Wang Chunyu felt particularly happy.

Ye Xilin: 44 articles.

Pushing the copper plate in front of him to Mrs. Ye, Ye Xi's face was full of depression and frustration, and he didn't even want to say anything.

Father Ye and Ye Donglin didn't want to pay attention to them if they provoked them.

李果儿：13两4钱现银、一只二钱重的银耳环、一张10两的银票，总共23两6钱。

It was the first time that she participated in a treasure hunt at home and found so many good things. Li Guoer was so happy now.

I thought to myself, if I searched more carefully, I might be able to find the money to buy the house.

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and Li Guoer grinned silly.

Old Mrs. Ye pulled out a small abacus from somewhere and began to calculate with squinting eyes.

After a while the old lady said cheerfully:

"The total of these things is 183 taels and 244 taels. The total cost of buying this house is 580 taels. Excluding the things I found in the morning, it actually only cost 397 taels."

Except for Ye Xilin, everyone was smiling and in high spirits.

Seeing everyone giggling here, Mrs. Ye quickly urged:

"Okay, let's search the hall first, and then search the remaining rooms and kitchen."

"Okay, let's try to find out the money to buy the house today." Father Ye cheered everyone up angrily.

"Everyone is lucky today. I have a hunch that we will definitely find something good later."

Ye Donglin was beaming with joy, turned around and walked to a small shelf in the corner.

Li Guoer was also full of energy and patted Ye Xilin on the shoulder, encouraging him with a bright smile:

"Come on."

Although the hall is quite large, it can't handle the large number of people. One person occupies a corner, and Ye Xilin, who is a step late, has no place to stand.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to turn around silently and go to another occupied wing.

When leaving, Ye Xilin secretly cheered himself up. He was the luckiest in the family and would definitely be able to find good things.

There should have been some valuable furnishings in the hall, but they were all looted by the government officials, leaving many places empty.

There is strength in numbers, and a few people quickly turned the entire hall upside down.

All the useless things were cleared away, and the useful ones were put aside. After a while, a small pile of still usable things was collected.

But they were all worthless little ornaments. Mrs. Ye took the initiative and put them back in their place.

The house should be reserved for the family to live in, and it cannot be empty. It doesn't look good when it is empty.

Before buying the house, everyone walked around the house. Mrs. Ye remembered that the kitchen had not been turned over very much, and many things were there.

So I immediately took my two grandsons-in-law to the kitchen.

Mrs. Ye stole the show today. She found more things by herself than the whole family combined.

Wang Chunyu and Li Guoer looked at her with admiration on their faces and followed her over.

The remaining father Ye and Ye Donglin planned to check out the empty rooms.

Although no one lives inside, there might be some unexpected gains.

Grandma and grandson entered the kitchen talking and laughing.

The rooms in this house are spacious and the kitchen is as big as the wing.

At a glance, the kitchen was fully stocked with kitchen knives, two large iron pots, small clay pots for making soup, and other pots and pans.

There are several bundles of firewood neatly stacked next to the stove, so it's no problem to just start cooking here.

Ye Donglin wants to open a grocery store in the county, and Xiaoqi will come to study in the academy here in two years.

Wang Chunyu thought that there was a high probability that he would follow, so he paid great attention to the various kitchen utensils in the kitchen.

Iron pots, bowls, chopsticks, and kitchen knives all look pretty good. If you scald them with boiling water later, you can continue to use them.

I guess the previous owner also loved pastries. Wang Chunyu also saw many flat disks used to steam pastries.

The two large iron pots are also big enough. If she makes pastries here in the future, it will be no problem.

There are two shops, one large and one small, in front of the house. The larger one is used to open a grocery store. The younger Wang Chunyu thinks it would be good to open a pastry shop.

At that time, her son was studying in college. She and her husband opened a grocery store and a pastry shop, making money to support the family.

Speaking of the shop in front, Wang Chunyu planned to clean it up before leaving later.

Wang Chunyu was silly and happy for a while. He looked up and saw a small basket hanging on the wall of the stove. He raised his hand and took down the bamboo basket.

"It's quite heavy."

Wang Chunyu didn't expect the things inside to be so heavy, and he almost couldn't hold it.

After taking down the heavy bamboo basket, Wang Chunyu was immediately happy. There was actually most of the dry goods in the basket.

Bacon, sausage, cured duck, dried gallinobacteria and some common dried mushrooms.

Wang Chunyu put the things on the table aside, and then happily searched around the kitchen.

In the corner, there was a 4-layer chest of drawers. Li Guoer and Mrs. Ye opened the door with great energy.

The chest of drawers is full of things, and the top layer contains brown sugar, red dates and dried white fungus. The quantity is not much, but each item weighs about two kilograms.

On the lower floor, there are sesame oil, meat oil, vinegar, salt, aniseed, and various seasonings.

The third layer contains half a basket of eggs and a small bag of dried seafood.

At the bottom of the chest of drawers, there are three small clay pots, which contain refined rice, white flour and brown rice respectively. However, the quantity is not much, only about one or two kilograms of each item is left.

Although there was nothing valuable in the kitchen, they found a lot of delicious food, and the three of them were in a very good mood.

Li Guoer was very strong, so she directly carried the food and put it all into her donkey cart.
