The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 283 Treasure Hunt in the Old House 4

Old Mrs. Ye tied the small bundle tightly around her waist, then put down her clothes and hid the things.

At this time, there was a gurgling sound in the stomachs of Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing, and the three of them realized that their stomachs were already hungry.

Mr. Ye looked out the window and saw that the sun had already gone to the west. The three of them were only focused on digging for treasures and had forgotten to eat lunch.

Mrs. Ye took the backpack she brought from home and took out a pack of pancakes and two bamboo tubes.

The pancakes are egg pancakes that Mrs. Ye baked specially in the morning, and the ones inside the bamboo tube are the cold boiled ones that Mrs. Ye cooked in the morning.

The house was full of dust and cobwebs. The three of them came to the stone table in the front yard and sat down to eat pancakes. The tables and chairs in the house were all broken, but the stone table was still in good condition.

After eating the cake, the three of them started working again.

Mr. Ye was assigned by Mrs. Ye to clean up the green bricks. They came here to clean up the green bricks today. It would be unjustifiable if they did not clean up the green bricks.

Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing went to rummage in the wing room that Mr. Ye had just packed up. Unfortunately, they turned it over and couldn't find anything valuable.

Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing did not give up and went to the kitchen, woodshed, utility room and chicken coop to rummage through these inconspicuous places.

In the end, the two of them dug out a few taels of silver from under the broken water tank in the kitchen.

It was probably hidden here by the cook. As for why it was dug out and taken away, Ye Qingqing guessed that it was probably sold and there was no time to dig it away.

No matter what the reason was for not taking it away, it was a benefit to their family.

Except for these things hidden underground, there was nothing in the house.

I don’t know if the original owner took it away before selling the house, or if someone sneaked in and took it away after Mr. Li went out.

Mr. Ye packed up a lot of intact blue bricks and brought them out. In addition, the bluestone slabs in the main room and hall were all pried off by Mr. Ye, and he was going to take them back to build a pig pen.

These bluestone slabs are all intact and can be used to lay on the floor of the pigsty. It will be much easier to clean the pigsty in the future.

In addition, Mr. Ye also packed up some tiles that were still intact. Although there were not many, they could be used to build the roofs of two pig pens.

Ye Qingqing has gained a lot here, and Tang Xiaojing has also gained a lot in the county.

The deer and wild goats that Tang Xiaojing hunted yesterday were only seriously injured and were still alive when they went to the Liang Family Restaurant.

Shopkeeper Liang was very happy to see the deer and wild goat. In the afternoon, a rich man was hosting a temporary banquet for guests, and the chef was worried that there was no hard food for the market.

After Tang Xiaojing greeted shopkeeper Liang, he took the prey to the back door of Liang's restaurant by familiar routes.

The restaurant's chef and a waiter came over to inspect the prey. They had just weighed the prey brought by Tang Xiaojing when shopkeeper Liang came over with a smile on his face.

The waiter respectfully said to Shopkeeper Liang: "Shopkeeper Liang, two wild goats total 56 jins, two deer deer total 54 jins, 5 pheasants total 14 jins, and 16 rabbits total 92 jins."

Shopkeeper Liang was in a good mood and happily said to Tang Xiaojing: "Wild goats are rare and they are charged at 30 cents per catty. The rest are still at the old price, deer are 20 cents per catty, rabbits are 12 cents per catty, and pheasants are 16 cents. A pound.”

Tang Xiaojing was very satisfied with the price of these prey, "Shopkeeper Liang is a kind person, and all the boys will listen to you."

Although Tang Xiaojing was not a dedicated hunter, he could often hunt wild animals such as rabbits, pheasants, deer and even wild boars. He was a generous man, and Shopkeeper Liang liked him very much.

It's a pity that Tang Xiaojing is already engaged, otherwise it would be good to introduce her to his niece.

“56斤野山羊一共1680文,54斤獐子一共1080文,14斤野鸡一共224文,92斤野兔子一共1104文,总共是4两88文。”

Tang Xiaojing felt that the price of prey was high, and it was much more cost-effective to dig traps to catch these small animals in the mountains than to work hard on the land, so he planned to go back and dig more traps in the mountains.

Now that his family has a long-term worker, he arranges to patrol the mountain in the morning and evening to take out the prey from the trap, and then sell it to the county.

After selling the prey, Tang Xiaojing talked to Shopkeeper Liang about raising rabbits at home.

Shopkeeper Liang was very happy, "The restaurant has several dishes made with rabbits, but unfortunately rabbits are not available every day and the supply is unstable."

Shopkeeper Liang patted Tang Xiaojing on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "If you raise rabbits here, the restaurant will need at least three or four rabbits every day. Don't worry about raising them. I can wrap up these rabbits for you."

Now Tang Xiaojing was completely relieved. With Shopkeeper Liang's guarantee, Tang Xiaojing could feel confident about expanding the scale of rabbit breeding.

Tang Xiaojing took the money from selling the prey and came to Rouge Gouache's shop in a good mood.

There were several young women in the shop. Tang Xiaojing felt a little uncomfortable and did not dare to look at those women.

Tang Xiaojing hurriedly found the proprietress and took a box of the face cream Ye Qingqing often used and a box of hand cream he bought last time.

Tang Xiaojing came to the counter and was about to pay when he saw some exquisite silk flowers on the counter.

Tang Xiaojing carefully picked up the silk flowers again, and finally picked a pair of small pink silk flowers for Ye Qingqing. The little girl is pretty and cute. Wearing this silk flower, she must be more delicate than the flower.

There were many young women in the shop. When they saw Tang Xiaojing picking up the silk flowers so carefully, they all guessed that they must be picking them for his sweetheart, and they felt very envious of that woman.

In the corner, a young girl dressed richly also glanced at Tang Xiaojing several times, and was yelled at by the maid on the side several times before she came back to her senses.

When Tang Xiaojing drove the ox cart to the old house near the academy, Mr. Ye had already packed away the green bricks.

In addition to blue bricks, there are also a lot of intact tiles and a pile of bluestone slabs.

Tang Xiaojing knew that this house was big, but it had been lost for a long time. He didn't expect that most of the blue bricks were still intact.

Mr. Ye packed so much stuff that Tang Xiaojing and Tangshan's two oxcarts alone could not transport it back.

Mr. Ye hired three more oxcarts in the town to transport all the bricks, tiles, and bluestone slabs back.

The things found in the old house today were all hidden by Mrs. Ye.

I just went to the old house today. If I take the things out now, someone will definitely find them. They were found in the old house.

Mrs. Ye planned to keep these things for a year and a half and then deal with them slowly.

Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing carefully looked through the empty jewelry boxes that Ye Qingqing found and found nothing unusual. Mrs. Ye ignored them and let Ye Qingqing play with them.

After dinner, after the Tang family and his son went back, Ye Qingqing took out all six jewelry boxes.

There were a total of 6 jewelry boxes that Ye Qingqing brought back. Ye Qingqing picked two of his favorites and prepared the remaining four jewelry boxes for Mother Ye and Mrs. Ye to hold jewelry.

Ye Xilin picked up the two jewelry boxes that Ye Qingqing picked and looked through them carefully.

Ye Qingqing: "Grandma and I have looked carefully many times this afternoon, and there is nothing there."

As soon as Ye Qingqing finished speaking, Ye Xilin somehow managed to pull out a small piece of wood from the bottom of the box, and then two small gold nuggets fell out from the bottom of the box.

A few people sitting around chatting were very excited when they saw the gold nuggets falling out of the box, and quickly gathered around.

Ye Qingqing was also very impressed and quickly pushed the remaining jewelry boxes in front of Ye Xilin.

Looking at Ye Xilin expectantly, "There are several boxes here. If you can find Jin Kuai in each box, you will make a fortune."

Unfortunately, only one jewelry box found gold nuggets, and nothing was found in the remaining boxes.
