The happy little days of the Ye family

After finding silver in the cellar, several people became even more excited.

Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye seemed to have taken a panacea and did not feel tired at all. They dug hard in the ground with hoes, hoping to dig out some more treasures.

Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing, two siblings, took down the shelves. Logically speaking, this shelf was not a cabinet, so it shouldn't be able to hide things. However, the two younger ones were determined to take down all these shelves.

These shelves had been in the cellar for a long time, and most of them had rotted away. The three of them easily cut all of these shelves into eight pieces.

The cellar was torn apart by three people, and the wood was all over the floor, but unfortunately nothing was found.

Ye Xilin took the torch again and started banging on the cellar wall with Ye Qingqing. The siblings firmly believed that there must be a secret room in the house, but they hadn't found it yet.

Mother Ye felt that the siblings must have read too much. This was just a slightly larger house in the town, and it was not one of those high-end mansions. How could there be such a thing as a secret room?

However, the two siblings were excited, and Mother Ye didn't say anything to disappoint them.

Several people worked in the cellar for a long time, but unfortunately no other treasures were found later.

Father Ye and Ye Donglin were thinking about their family's treasure hunt in the old house. They were absent-minded all day, either in a daze or making miscalculations.

Father Ye sold out the braised pork rice early and drove the donkey cart to the old house, fearing that he would be late. How could such a good thing as treasure hunting be omitted from him?

Ye Donglin originally wanted to go back with Father Ye, but as soon as he was about to pack his things, several businessmen from other places came to the stall, all ready to buy some local specialties to take home.

The guests all brought money to the door, and Ye Donglin had no choice but to earn the money. He could only watch his father's donkey cart drive away helplessly.

Ye Donglin happily introduced some of the more expensive items on the stall to the merchants, but kept thinking in his heart, it must rain tomorrow, it must rain tomorrow, it must rain tomorrow.

The old house is near the academy, and most of the people living around it are students from the academy. I saw not many people along the way, and it was even a little deserted.

Father Ye came to the door of his old house and found that the door was locked from the inside. Father Ye called several times but no one responded.

Father Ye put his ear against the door and listened carefully inside, but did not hear any movement.

Father Ye murmured in a low voice, "Could it be that he was hunting for treasure in the house and was too happy to hear it?"

Afraid of attracting nearby people, Ye's father did not dare to shout for people, so he could only sit on the donkey cart and wait for a few people to come out.

After an unknown amount of time, Father Ye heard the voices of several people coming from inside. Father Ye quickly jumped out of the donkey cart, banged the door and shouted excitedly:

"Qingqing, Xilin, help dad open the door quickly."

Hearing the cheerful laughter of several people, Father Ye guessed that they must have found the treasure. He felt excited and annoyed at the same time. Why didn't he come over earlier?

Hearing Father Ye's voice, Ye Xilin reacted the fastest, running to the door and opening it.

After Ye's father came in, he quickly locked the door from the inside, for fear of being discovered by others.

Father Ye asked in a low voice: "I just heard your laughter outside. Is it a good harvest today?"

Ye Xilin was very proud, holding his little head high, and proudly asked Father Ye for credit, "With me taking part, the harvest will definitely be good. I found most of the things."

Mother Ye looked at the proud Ye Xilin happily, "I will kill a chicken tonight to celebrate. You are a great hero, and I will reward you with a big chicken drumstick."

Not to be outdone, Ye Qingqing hugged Ye Mu's arm and acted coquettishly, "I want it too."

"I have it, I have it. You two siblings each have a big chicken drumstick."

Mrs. Ye pulled Father Ye's sleeves with a smile on her face and whispered in Father Ye's ear: "There are more things than what we found yesterday. What we found in these two days is enough to buy two houses."

Father Ye's eyes widened. If he had known that there were so many treasures hidden in this house, he would not have gone to the pier to set up a stall. He did not participate in the treasure hunt at home. Father Ye felt bad.

Ye Xilin looked at Father Ye and thought of the box of familiar spices he found in the cellar.

"Grandma, take out the spices you found in the cellar and show them to my dad. I always feel a little familiar with these spices. Maybe my dad knows them."

Old Mrs. Ye quickly took out the box. Father Ye took a look, wasn't this the spice from the Western Regions? It seems to be called pepper.

"This spice seems to be called pepper. I saw merchants from the Western Regions selling it on the dock for 10 taels of silver per pound."

Mrs. Ye exclaimed: "Ten taels of silver per pound, what kind of spice is this? It's too expensive."

Father Ye picked up a few white spices and smelled them, "Things are rare and valuable. They have come all the way from the Western Regions to transport them. The cost of the journey alone is quite high. Naturally, they are more expensive than the spices produced here." It’s more expensive.”

"It does look like pepper from the Western Regions, and it smells similar. How about I take it to the dock tomorrow and ask?"

Mrs. Ye glanced at Mr. Ye, and the two murmured for a few more words. Then Mrs. Ye said, "Okay, you can take it to the dock tomorrow and ask. If the price is right, you can sell it all by the way."

Mother Ye looked at Mrs. Ye excitedly, "Mom, can you leave me a few of these spices? I have never used such expensive spices before, and the food I make will be delicious."

The whole room in the Ye family is full of delicious food. Everyone wants to try the spices worth ten taels of silver per pound, and they all look at Old Mrs. Ye eagerly.

Mrs. Ye thought that this thing was for nothing, and she no longer felt bad about the money, so she said in a good mood:

"Okay, it's free stuff anyway. Let's keep some. Let's all taste what 10 taels per kilogram of spices taste like. But we have to make sure that these are edible spices before we can use them for cooking."

Ye Mu nodded, feeling very happy. The flavor of this spice was quite special, and Ye Mu quite liked the taste.

Father Ye looked at Mother Ye tenderly and said with a smile: "I'll help you ask those merchants how to use this pepper for cooking."

Father Ye put the small box away, raised his head and asked, "Have you finished searching this house?"

Today's harvest was quite fruitful. Mrs. Ye smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. "No, there are still things I haven't found in the front yard and the back yard."

"The backyard is big and overgrown with weeds. I don't have time to tidy it up today. I'll rummage through the front yard first and I'll go home later."

When Father Ye was excited, he took the hoe from Mrs. Ye and started digging from the corner of the door. Not to be outdone, Mr. Ye started digging frantically in the other corner.

Ye Xilin thought for a while, found a branch, and then broke the branch to make several uneven breaks. If there are small things such as earrings and jade pendants that have fallen off, they should be caught by the breaks in the branches.

Ye Xilin took a branch and continued to scratch the soil in the pool under the rockery, while Mrs. Ye and Ye Mu moved away the collapsed rockery bit by bit.

Ye Qingqing felt that Ye Xilin had a talent for treasure hunting, so he followed Ye Xilin to find a branch.

There were people coming and going in the front yard, and Ye Qingqing didn't think he would hide anything here, but with too many people walking around, there might be treasures that were accidentally lost, like the jade pendant that Ye Xilin found in the pool.

Ye Qingqing took a branch and dug hard under the stone table. After digging, Ye Qingqing found a small silver bracelet.

The silver bracelet is not big. It looks like it is worn by a child of several years old. There are some cute little bells on it. It is probably because the child was playful and hid the bracelet in the ground.

Ye Qingqing held a small bracelet in one hand and put her hand on her waist, laughing very proudly.

As soon as Mrs. Ye saw Ye Qingqing's arrogant appearance, she knew she had found another treasure. He trotted over quickly, and others gathered around him when they heard the noise.

Old Mrs. Ye took the bracelet from Ye Qingqing's hand. The bracelet was not big, but the workmanship was very exquisite.

Father Ye looked at Ye Qingqing excitedly, "Where did you find this silver bracelet?"

Ye Qingqing said with a smile: "It was dug out of the ground next to the stone table. It is probably hidden there by a child out of fun."
