The happy little days of the Ye family

Mr. Ye looked at the cellar in front of him and specifically warned: "The cellar that has been closed for a long time must be re-ventilated before going down."

When Mr. Ye saw Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin staring eagerly at the entrance of the cellar, he was afraid that they would run in early because they were ignorant, so he simply sent them to clean the yard.

The entrance to the cellar faces the yard, and Mr. Ye is not afraid of the two little guys sneaking in.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin didn't want to leave yet, but Mrs. Ye glared at them, so the siblings went to the yard to weed.

Most of the weeds in the yard had been cleared in the morning, leaving only a few flower beds.

Most of the flower beds are full of weeds. In addition to weeds, there are also a few half-lived chrysanthemums, orchids and some unknown flowers.

Mother Ye looked at the flowers in the garden and suggested, "Wouldn't we build a house for rent in the future? In fact, we can keep these flowers for now."

"This place is not far from the academy, and it will be rented to the students of the academy in the future. Keep these flowers, and they will look good when planted in the yard. Scholars like these flowers the most."

Old Mrs. Ye felt that what Mother Ye said was reasonable. These flowers cost nothing anyway, and they might be useful in the future.

Several people pulled out all the weeds in the flowerbed, but the flowers inside were still there.

When pulling weeds, Ye Xilin and Mrs. Ye deliberately used small hoes to dig up the soil in the flower bed, but nothing was found.

After clearing away the weeds, they rested for a while. Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin couldn't wait to pull Mr. Ye to the entrance of the cellar, with their mother and Mrs. Ye following behind them with smiles.

Mr. Ye specifically ordered Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin not to move and to wait for him to come back.

Then Mr. Ye entered the house and came out with a pile of wood blocks.

Mr. Ye got two torches, and then tentatively threw a few large pieces of wood into the cellar. The people calmed down and listened carefully, and found that there was no movement inside.

Mr. Ye lit two torches, holding one torch himself and giving the other to Mrs. Ye.

"I'll go in and take a look first. You guys wait here until I tell you to come down. If I don't come up, you can run away."

This house must have been abandoned for many years. No one is sure what is under the cellar. Mr. Ye wants to go down and have a look first.

Old Mrs. Ye was so excited about treasure hunting that she suddenly remembered that this cellar might be dangerous.

Mrs. Ye grabbed Mr. Ye and said with some fear: "Why don't you go in? What if there are poisonous snakes or wanted criminals hidden inside?"

Mr. Ye smiled and said, "It's okay. We have turned this house upside down. If there is anything going on in this cellar, I'll go down and take a look first."

Mr. Ye has been too excited about treasure hunting in the past two days, and he is a little carried away. If Mr. Ye is usually calm, he will definitely not risk entering this gloomy cellar.

Mr. Ye entered the cellar with a torch. As soon as he went down into the cellar, it was a little dark and smelled of musty and dust.

The light of the torch slowly illuminated the entire cellar. Through the light of the torch, Mr. Ye found that the cellar was empty, with only a few wooden shelves and a few broken baskets and baskets.

Mr. Ye shouted outside the cellar, "You all come in, there is nothing here."

Old Mrs. Ye led the charge with a torch, closely followed by Mother Ye and Ye Qingqing.

Ye Mu stood in the middle. Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin each held one of Ye Mu's hands. The three of them entered the cellar with excitement and fear.

It must not have been used in the cellar for many years. There was a strong smell of mold and dust. Ye Qingqing didn't like this smell very much.

Mr. Ye had already said before coming down that there was nothing inside, but several people were still a little disappointed when they saw the empty cellar with only a few shelves.

Mrs. Ye said disappointedly: "This is just an ordinary cellar, there shouldn't be anything valuable."

Ye Xilin didn't believe in evil, "I'm not here. I dug out the jade pendant from the half-collapsed rockery just now. I don't believe I can't find the treasure in such a big cellar."

Ye Xilin took the torch from Mr. Ye's hand and walked to the shelf.

There were several small backpacks and baskets placed on the shelf. Ye Xilin held a torch and moved closer to look through the contents one by one.

There were mostly some spices on the shelf, but the quantity was relatively small, and most of them were rotten and spoiled.

Ye Xilin flipped through it and could still vaguely recognize some common spices such as star anise, bay leaves, and cinnamon.

After flipping through it, Ye Xilin found a small box on the shelf. Ye Xilin did not open the box immediately, but called Ye Qingqing and others over.

Old Mrs. Ye patted Ye Xilin's shoulder excitedly, thinking that this boy should be the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, and his wealth was really good.

Under the attention of several people, Ye Xilin opened the box with excitement.

Inside the box were white granular spices. Ye Xilin looked familiar, but he couldn't remember what they were.

The spices were well preserved in the box, with no traces of being eaten by insects.

Ye Xilin was going to take it back and ask Ye's father. Ye's father set up a stall on the pier every day. There were merchants from all over the country on the pier. Ye's father had seen a lot on the pier and might know this spice.

Ye Xilin handed the box to Mrs. Ye for safekeeping, and then rummaged through the shelves.

Mrs. Ye put the box away and took the torch with the remaining three people to rummage in the cellar.

But this is indeed an ordinary cellar. There is nothing in it except a few shelves and a few broken backpacks. Even if there were ingredients before, they have long since rotted away.

Seeing that there was indeed nothing in the cellar, Mrs. Ye urged Ye Xilin to go up quickly. Ye Xilin refused to give up and was still circling the shelves.

Seeing that Ye Xilin refused to go up, Mrs. Ye simply went back to the yard, took down the hoe, and dug up the ground again.

I thought to myself that I could find silver under the water tank in the kitchen yesterday, and maybe there was silver hidden in the cellar.

Mrs. Ye brought down two hoes, and she and Mr. Ye each had a hoe and started digging in the cellar.

After digging and digging, Mrs. Ye finally found a small broken clay pot.

Mrs. Ye opened the pottery jar excitedly and found a few pieces of broken silver inside. Mrs. Ye counted it and found that there were 8 taels of silver.

Mrs. Ye immediately thought that the person who hid the money should be the same person who hid the money under the water tank, either the chef or the maid in charge of the kitchen.

Mrs. Ye originally thought it was just an ordinary cellar, but she didn't expect to find eight taels of silver and about a pound of unknown spices.
