The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 658 Treasure Hunt in the Backyard (3)

There was a lot of straw under the stable, and the three of them worked together to clear out all the straw, and then exposed the mud under the stable.

The three of them took small hoes and dug directly into the ground around the stable.

There is money hidden around the kitchen, and there may be treasures hidden in the stable.

Thinking of this, the three of them worked very hard.

Anyway, they had already spent money to buy this house, so finding an extra penny was something they earned.

Moreover, the people of the Guan family, beheaded or exiled, everything they find belongs to their family, so they are not afraid of trouble.

Ye Qingqing held a small hoe and waved it in the open space in front of the stable.

The rhubarb and small yellow on the side were smelling in the field next to the stable and stayed for a long time.

Suddenly, Xiao Huang started digging in the ground and hummed at Ye Qingqing who was not far away.

Ye Qingqing thought of the wooden box that Da Huang and Xiao Huang had just discovered, and quickly rushed forward, holding a small hoe and digging hard in the small hole dug by Xiao Huang.

"bump---"

Suddenly the hoe hit a hard object and made a harsh sound.

Ye Qingqing felt something down there, and felt excited and excited.

"Did you find another gold or silver hairpin? The voice is so deep, it might be silver."

Ye Qingqing waved the hoe vigorously and shouted excitedly: "Dad, sir, come here quickly, there is something."

Hearing Ye Qingqing's excited voice, the father and son knew they had found something good again and ran over quickly.

When the two came over, Ye Qingqing just happened to dig out the hard object that the hoe hit. It was a full purse.

The purse looked ordinary, and the fabric looked like an ordinary burlap fabric. It looked like it was hidden by a servant.

Ye Qingqing couldn't wait to open her purse and dumped the contents on the ground.

Most of the purses were filled with broken silver, and one tael contained the most broken silver.

Ye Qingqing happily counted the silver. There were a total of eight taels of silver in the purse, as well as a pair of silver earrings.

Ye Qingqing hugged Xiao Huang excitedly and rubbed Xiao Huang's smart head vigorously.

"Xiao Huang is so awesome. I will reward you with a big chicken drumstick tonight."

In Ye Qingqing's heart, Xiao Huang is as powerful as his younger brother, both are little experts in treasure hunting.

Dahuang on the side saw that Ye Qingqing was only playing with Xiao Huang. He got jealous and moved to Ye Qingqing's side, pushed Xiao Huang away with his brain, and then rubbed Ye Qingqing's arm like a baby.

Ye Qingqing patted Rhubarb's big head, "You also have Rhubarb. To complement the shape, I will reward you with a chicken head to complement the brain."

Ye Qingqing found the purse, and Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing dug even harder as if they had found a treasure.

Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan turned the stable upside down and found nothing useful except a basin for feeding the horses.

The surrounding ground was dug into holes by the three men.

Seeing that nothing could be dug out, the three of them buried the excavated ground again, and then moved the straw that had been moved aside back to the stable.

Although Tangshan didn't find anything valuable today, he was very happy to see that his son and daughter-in-law found treasures.

Before going back, Ye Qingqing pulled the father and son with a smile on his face and took stock of today's harvest.

Jade Guanyin, a silver earring, a jade safety buckle, 1 tael of 102 coins in the purse, a gold gourd, a silver hairpin, eight taels of silver and a pair of silver earrings.

Tangshan conservatively estimates that it is worth about 23 taels of silver.

Although what they found today were all small things, the three of them were very satisfied.

The 9 taels and 102 coins found today were divided equally by Ye Qingqing on the spot, with Tangshan and the young couple each having half.

As for the remaining things, the father and son plan to go to Xiaohe Town tomorrow.

Change all the gold and silver objects in your hands into gold nuggets, and take other small items such as jade pendants to the pawn shop to pawn them.

Before leaving, Ye Qingqing did not forget to ask Tang Xiaojing to bring half a sack of lotus roots soaked in water.

The oxcart was loaded with most of the fodder. Although the oxcart was a bit heavy, it was transporting the big ox's own rations, so he sensibly did not lose his temper.

The big ox worked hard and took his ration back.

After returning home, Ye Qingqing soaked the lotus roots in water and took them to the spring on the mountain to plant them tomorrow.

Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan consciously went to the backyard to kill chickens and prepare chicken soup at night.

Ye Qingqing also went to the backyard together and re-selected the bamboo fungus picked today.

Keep the good ones to dry and sell them, and pick out the ones that are of average quality to stew chicken in the evening.

As soon as the sun goes down, the fragrant chicken stewed with bamboo fungus is ready.

Ye Qingqing filled a large bowl with a large bowl of chicken soup, then took two lotus roots and returned to Ye's house with a smile.

At this time, Mrs. Ye was walking in the yard with Xiao Qi in her arms. When she saw Ye Qingqing coming, she came forward with the little guy in her arms.

"It smells so good. You greedy girl, what are you cooking for?"

"I went over to the newly bought house today. Isn't there a small bamboo forest there? It rained a few days ago, and a lot of bamboo fungus came out. I just picked it and made stewed chicken with bamboo fungus."

Ye Qingqing carried the small basket and went directly to the kitchen. At this time, Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu were cooking in the kitchen. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were holding a spoon and lighting the fire.

Ye Qingqing put the chicken soup directly on the kitchen table, "Mom, sister-in-law, this is chicken soup, I put it on the table."

Mother Ye, who was cooking, saw her daughter coming, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Why did you suddenly kill the chicken today?"

Ye Qingqing said what he had said to Mrs. Ye again.

"I picked some bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest near my new house. I happened to have chickens at home, so I made bamboo shoots stewed with chicken."

When Ye Qingqing saw Mrs. Ye coming with Xiao Qi in her arms, he simply sat at the door and talked to the three people about planting lotus roots.

"Isn't there a small lotus pond in the front yard of my house? There are a lot of lotus roots growing under the lotus flowers."

"We dug some back today. I see that the lotus roots have mud and roots, so they are good for planting."

As she said that, she took out the lotus root in her hand and took a closer look. There were indeed many roots on it.

"This lotus root is well preserved and should be able to be grown."

Ye Qingqing continued: "There are many springs on the mountain. My husband and I plan to plant some lotus roots in the springs."

"Besides, there is a fish pond and a big puddle at home. I thought that these lotus roots could also be planted, so I brought two lotus roots to the house."

Mrs. Ye smiled and said: "This is a good idea, but you can't plant fish ponds. You have to catch fish every day, so it's inconvenient to plant them in it, but you can plant some in the big puddle."

Then Mrs. Ye looked at the two lotus roots that Ye Qingqing brought over. There were roots on each lotus root. It was estimated that they could be planted if thrown into water.

"I'll ask your grandpa to take these lotus roots to the big puddle early tomorrow morning and plant them. Next year I'll probably be able to eat home-grown lotus roots."

"The big puddle is full of mountain spring water. The fish raised in it are delicious, and the lotus roots grown there must be delicious too." When it comes to food, Ye Qingqing immediately gets excited.

After the meal was prepared at home, Ye Qingqing didn't stay too long. He told her about the lotus root and hurried back.

Chicken soup tastes best when it's hot.
