After observing the environment, Qin Jianye turned his attention to the tall pile of boxes.
At first glance, they look like small hills. When I roughly count them, I find that there are hundreds of them.
Qin Jianye's eyes turned red as he quickly opened one and found a small yellow croaker. He opened another and found another small yellow croaker.
Oh my god, his father-in-law is really amazing. Not only did he hide so much property, but he also cleaned up his identity by "escaping famine".
Qin Jianye was worried that his daughter would be anxious, so he didn't check them one by one. He put all the boxes into the space and then crawled out along the passage.
The moment his feet reached the bottom of the well, Qin Jianye breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened his oxygen mask, took a deep breath, and lowered his voice to shout upwards, "Girl, are you still there?"
"I'm here, Dad!" Qin Siyue lay on the well and looked down, meeting Qin Jianye's eyes.
Qin Jianye smiled and said, "Good harvest, I'll come up right away!"
Qin Siyue said "hmm hmm" and his eyes turned into crescent moons.
She had just noticed that there were a lot of boxes in the space. Perhaps these were the inheritance her grandfather had mentioned, the inheritance left to her mother!
Hey, it’s rare to meet an elder who doesn’t favor boys over girls.
But it is also possible that because his uncle and aunt are no longer around, the old man was afraid that he couldn't protect his little grandson, so he had no choice but to tell Chen Yunwei the news.
Qin Jianye didn't leave in a hurry. He took out a bag of cement from the space and mixed it with water in a basin.
Another pile of stones was put out, along with the broken bricks that had been knocked down, and they were used to build the original hole.
Qin Jianye worked quickly, and soon the hole was patched up. To prevent others from noticing, he even covered the entire bottom of the well with cement.
Once it's done, put out the ladder, carefully avoid the area where cement is applied, climb up, and then put the ladder away.
Fearing that the old man might have missed something, Qin Jianye used a metal detector to scan the house. After confirming that there was nothing left except the wall, the father and daughter climbed over the wall and headed straight for the deserted house.
"Xiao Yueyue, do you know how much treasure your father has collected?"
Qin Siyue clasped his hands together, looked up, and said with sparkling eyes: "How much? Ten boxes?"
Qin Jianye put his hands on his hips: "Haha, more than that!"
He had no idea how many there were, but it was truly spectacular and the space almost couldn't hold them.
I looked at the time and it was only half past three. In that case, let’s put it out and take stock!
Qin Jianye put out the box and counted them, there were a total of one hundred and nine.
They are all big boxes, one meter long and eighty centimeters wide. You can imagine how huge the wealth is.
"Damn, my grandpa is indeed a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan!"
Qin Siyue couldn't help but swear as he looked at the rows of wooden boxes with envy.
Qin Jianye patted the box beside him proudly: "See? Huanghuali wood."
Walk to the other side: "Small-leaf red sandalwood."
Finally, there were a few that radiated golden light even in the darkness: "Golden nanmu, you've been envious for a long time, now you're happy!"
Yes, I’m happy. I’m so happy that I almost cry!
Qin Siyue pouted and stretched out her arms to pick up the golden nanmu box, but was stopped by Qin Jianye: "Stop, stop, stop, it's all dusty, be careful not to get it on yourself."
Qin Siyue chuckled and went to open the box, only to find all sorts of treasures inside.
Besides gold and silver, there were jade, pearls, diamonds, and agates. Some were made into exquisite jewelry and carefully stored, while others were just raw stones, with a small window cut out and stuffed in haphazardly.
In addition, there are books, calligraphy and paintings, and porcelain.
I don’t know what methods the old man used, but not only is there not a trace of mold on the books and paintings, but the paper also shows no signs of weathering or brittleness.
Qin Siyue opened it, took a look, and then put it back, fearing that it would be damaged and affect its value.
However, she was quite interested in the boxes of embroidery. The peonies depicted were so lifelike that it seemed as if the petals would move in the wind.
The kitten next to it is also very cute, stretching out its paws to tease the dancing butterflies. The most important thing is that it is double-sided embroidery.
This thing will be worth a lot of money in the future.
Qin Siyue sighed with emotion, having discovered a new world. Inside the golden nanmu box, there were actually two ready-made garments made with kesi silk craftsmanship.
Although she couldn't wear clothes from the previous dynasty outside, she was so shocked by the exquisite patterns that she was speechless for a long time.
"They say Jiangnan is a wealthy place, and they're not kidding me!"
Qin Jianye hummed, and put the box back into the space. His body was exhausted, but his spirit was extremely excited.
Seeing Qin Jianye's eyes were as bright as light bulbs, Qin Siyue suggested: "Dad, how about we go to the black market?"
Qin Jianye thought about it and said: "Okay!" It just so happened that there was not much cash left in the space, so he had to exchange some for storage.
The father and daughter hit it off immediately, but they couldn't find the location of the black market.
Just when they were about to give up, they saw an aunt coming out of the alley in a panic.
They looked at each other and said, "Hey, I found it!"
It didn't take much effort, I just paid two cents and got in.
I found that this place is much more prosperous than Yang County. There are two long queues just for the stalls, not to mention the people coming to buy things.
Qin Siyue looked over curiously and found that the shops doing good business were all selling various foods.
Those with poor business either sell their products too expensively or are too niche. In short, they are left behind and are quite conspicuous.
Qin Siyue saw a pair of jade bracelets placed in front of an old man. They were a very authentic bright green color with good water content, so he asked the other party how much they cost.
The man shook his head and said, "I don't want money, I want food."
Qin Siyue was puzzled: "I'll give you money, and you can use it to buy food, right?"
The old man curled his lips and said, "This bracelet of mine is a treasure. Don't even think about giving it away for thirty or fifty yuan. If you want it, give me two hundred kilograms of grain."
Two hundred kilograms, how could those farmers afford it!
To be honest, Qin Siyue wanted it, but he felt that this thing was ridiculously expensive.
It’s not that it’s not worth the price, but in this era, two hundred kilograms of food is not cheap, as it is not enough to eat or drink.
In another two years, this person might not even dare to take it out, let alone sell it.
Qin Jianye saw it and nodded happily: "Okay, but I only have corn kernels."
The old man frowned, obviously dissatisfied.
Qin Jianye lobbied: "If your bracelet was easy to sell, you wouldn't have to stay here for so long.
Two hundred kilograms of corn kernels are indeed worthless in the supply and marketing cooperative, but on the black market, they are worth several hundred yuan, more than enough to buy your pair of bracelets.
Think about it, if you miss this village, you will miss this store."
Qin Jianye's "threat" was very effective. The man wrapped up the bracelet and wanted to trade with the father and daughter.
Qin Jianye said, "No hurry, I'll exchange some things first and trade with you later."
"Then, let's meet in the alleys of East Street Laoxiang in an hour?"
Qin Jianye nodded: "Okay, if you have other good things, you can bring them along."
The old man left in a hurry without saying anything.
Qin Jianye strolled around and asked the black market guard, "Does your boss accept this?"
As he spoke, a small yellow croaker appeared from his sleeve.
