They opened the boxes one by one, until they were numb with exhaustion. There were so many real items that they didn't seem very valuable anymore.
There are so many boxes here. There are six boxes of large yellow croaker, two boxes of small yellow croaker, one box of bottles and jars of medicinal herbs, and one box of processed ginseng, lingzhi and other precious medicinal herbs. The largest ginseng is as thick as a baby's arm. They don't even know how old it is.
There were also some antique vases, some exquisite jewelry and headdresses, all well-packaged and beautifully designed. There was a replica phoenix hairpin with really fine workmanship; He Caiwei fell in love with it at first sight.
This thing is really well made; it couldn't be made without a master craftsman with decades of experience.
There was a very finely crafted jewelry box with double doors. Inside the box were small drawers containing safety buckles, gold rings, gold bracelets, gold bangles, a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, and two imperial green jade safety buckles, as well as some miscellaneous small items, including gold melon seeds and gold peanuts.
After looking at everything, the three of them exchanged bewildered glances, then covered their mouths and chuckled in the secret room.
A huge profit!!
"Little sister, hurry up and pack your things away. We've bought the house, and everything in it belongs to us. It's only safe if we hide our things in places we know ourselves." Lu Qingzhu was particularly excited and wanted her sister to pack everything away.
"Aren't you going to leave some here? What if you want to do something later but don't have the funds?" He Caiwei didn't want to take all of these things away; she wanted to leave some for her second brother to use for starting his business.
“But other people used to know about this place. What if they come and steal my things if I put them here? It’s not safe for other people to know that I’m storing things here. This place has had other owners before…” Lu Qingzhu always felt unsafe.
He Caiwei searched through the original study in the space and found a ring and a bracelet. These two items actually contained spaces, although they were less than 100 square meters. However, they were items that could become invisible according to the owner's will. Taking them out for her two older brothers should be fine.
You can't just give these things away randomly. Give the ring to my dear husband, and the bracelet to my second brother. Anyway, the space inside both is about the same.
After taking the items out, I gave them to the two of them, and told them that after they recognized the master, they could wear them on their hands and change their state according to their wishes.
"Brother, second brother, look at your space. Second brother, from now on, you can put all these valuables in your space. These things have recognized their owner and won't be lost. I've prepared a few guns and some bullets for you in there. These gold bars will stay here. Also, put all these medicinal herbs into your space. We're not with you, so you can take out whatever you need. But be careful not to give anything away." He Caiwei had put a lot of delicious food in there. She was worried that her second brother wouldn't have time to cook when he was really working. And since her second brother was alone in the house, there was no need to worry about others seeing it for the time being.
The three of them explored the entire house around 3 p.m., thoroughly examining it. They found no other secret rooms or hiding places, so they stopped exploring.
He Caiwei went to the kitchen to cook. These kitchen utensils were left by the previous owner. She heard that they were bought less than a year ago and were usually kept very clean by the servants, so they did not have any strange smells. He Caiwei was very satisfied with this.
He Caiwei first boiled a large pot of water and scalded all the kitchen utensils, pots, pans and bowls. Seeing that some of the delicate bowls were chipped, she simply packed them all up in a bag and threw them away later.
Living in such a beautiful house, yet using these chipped bowls, they really are...
The three of them forgot to cook lunch because they discovered the things underneath, and now it's past 3 p.m., and their stomachs are rumbling louder than the others.
He Caiwei simply didn't cook; she just took out six dishes and a soup, along with a large bowl of rice for each person, from the refrigerator in her own space.
After finishing their meal, He Caiwei simply put all the dishes back into the dishwasher in her space to wash them, saving them the time of washing dishes themselves.
"Brother, it's still early. Do you want to go out for a walk? We need to buy some more bowls and plates here. I don't know what's wrong with this Mr. Yang. He lives in such a beautiful house, but all the bowls and plates he uses are chipped. Doesn't he worry about getting his mouth hurt?" He Caiwei complained again about Mr. Yang's unreliability.
“Okay, it’s not even 4:30 yet. Let’s go out for a walk and buy some groceries. There’s a refrigerator here; we can put some fresh vegetables and meat in it.” Lu Qingfeng had just gone to the kitchen when he saw the refrigerator. Although it wasn’t very big, it was still quite a novelty.
They do have some in the sea market, since many exotic items are imported from the port there, and they prefer to choose from the sea market first.
He often saw these things when he went abroad to study.
"Okay, let's go then." He Caiwei was calculating how much currency she had left.
She just left a box of large yellow croakers in her second brother's bracelet space, along with all the currency she had exchanged that day, keeping only a little for the next couple of days.
Of course, fresh ingredients are needed. His second brother didn't use any, since he wasn't very good at cooking. These were just for show, kept in the refrigerator.
The food that is actually edible is all placed on the shelves in his space. Because he couldn't cook, He Caiwei put a shelf in his space for him. The shelf is full of prepared meals, with rice and dishes separated. He can take whatever he wants to eat.
The food storage space has a preservation function; it stays exactly the same when you take it out as it was when you put it in. So He Caiwei isn't worried about it spoiling if he can't finish it.
The group locked the door and came out of the small villa. Since they didn't have a car, they had to walk. Not long after they walked out, a car drove past them.
However, it stopped less than 30 meters away and just stood there waiting for them.
Before they even got close to the car, a boy of similar age to them got out. When he saw Lu Qingzhu, he couldn't help but run towards him.
"Little bamboo, little bamboo..."
"Damn, Xizi? What are you doing here?" Lu Qingzhu was also pleasantly surprised when he saw the person running towards him.
I never expected that I would run into his childhood friend after only a few days here.
I was originally planning to inquire about it after I settled down.
"Little Bamboo, Brother Lu, how did you get here? Is your house in a mess? Why did you run away too?" Tao Zhihong was overjoyed and hugged Lu Qingzhu tightly. He spoke the last sentence very softly, afraid that others would hear him.
Seeing them here, he assumed that the country was in chaos and that even the Lu family had nowhere to hide. He knew that the Lu family's parents held high positions and could easily obtain any information. They would not come out unless absolutely necessary.
