After returning home, Lin Xiuqing also asked him about the big tripod.
"Why did you just give it away? At least bring it back and let it sit at home for a few days so I can see what it looks like."
"Fool, this big cauldron may not look rare, but it is too dangerous to keep at home." Ye Yaodong said as he took off his dirty clothes.
"There is a saying that this tripod was used as a cooking utensil in ancient times to turn living things into dead things. Later it evolved into a clan sacrificial tool and was also used to hold sacrifices. Therefore, it is so dangerous that most people cannot control it.
"
"I didn't think about it at first. Later, Aguang's father reminded me that I could put it in the temple to save space. Then I remembered that most people can't hold this tripod, so it can only be placed in a museum or in a museum.
In the temple.”
Lin Xiuqing didn't know much about the cauldron, so she had no idea after hearing what he said about the serious crime. She originally wanted to take a look at it.
"Then don't move it back. It's good to dedicate it to Mazu. It can also be used in the temple."
"Um."
"Dad just brought me a bucket and said it contained something you wanted. He told me to hide it, but I didn't even dare to open it. What was it?"
"Where did you put it?"
"Put it in the house and hide it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yaodong walked directly towards the house and glanced around the house.
Lin Xiuqing also followed him into the house and reminded him that he was behind the door. Only then did he see the bucket behind the door. He opened the cloth on it and saw the intact black box inside. He bent down and took it out.
"What is this, A Dong?"
"I don't know. I haven't even opened it yet. There's a lock on it. Go get the machete."
"oh."
The machete was placed in the firewood pile in the main room. Lin Xiuqing went back quickly.
I don't know what kind of wood this black box is made of. Ye Yaodong doesn't understand this. The lock on it has been corroded by sea water and is stained with rust. The machete slashed twice between the sparks and flints, and the lock fell off.
He couldn't wait to reach out, but just when he was about to open the lid, he suddenly thought of the rainstorm pear blossom needle in the martial arts drama...
He shook his head again, feeling that he had watched too many TV series and was overthinking, but, ahem~
"Ah Qing, please step aside and go to the side."
Lin Xiuqing was a little confused and didn't understand why she had to go to the side, but she still listened to him and moved to the side.
Ye Yaodong also pointed the black box at the door, and then opened it with a sudden movement. Immediately, the couple took a breath of cold air and their pupils tightened.
The legendary Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle is gone, but what appears in the box shocks their jaws even more than the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle!
I saw a golden area in the black box, and a lot of golden round gold cakes were piled inside. The golden and round appearance looked extremely pleasing and eye-catching.
"Ah...Adong..." Lin Xiuqing's voice trembled with shock, and she still held Ye Yaodong's arm tightly.
Ye Yaodong was also startled, and then he immediately covered the box, covering his violently beating heart. Although Merlot and Ambergris were no worse than this, those things were not cashed out, and there was no pile of golden gold.
It is more intuitive and shocking.
"Oh my god, you ask me every day if I have found money, and this time I really found money."
"Ah? A Dong...I wasn't dazzled just now, was I?"
"It shouldn't be there, should we take another look?"
Ye Yaodong continued to open the box, and the golden cakes came into view again. He couldn't help but swallowed, "There are so many, I'm making a fortune!"
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened as well, "No wonder the ancient emperors' clothes were made yellow, they look so good!"
He nodded in agreement, "It does look good!"
This time he took one out and then closed it. He weighed it in his hand and felt that one weighed about half a catty. "Take a bite and see if it's real?"
Lin Xiuqing actually took it obediently and took a bite, and then said happily: "It's soft! It's a little sweet."
"Sweet? Isn't it? Flatbreads are not just sweet."
"Why is this gold in the shape of a pancake? It's so strange. I have never seen gold in such a shape."
"How many times have you seen gold?"
Uh...it hurts my heart...
Lin Xiuqing glared at him and continued: "Is this black box really fished out of the sea?"
"Well, it was discovered together with the big tripod. It was covered by seaweed around it. Fortunately, I have good eyesight and found it and fished it out."
"Why do I feel like I'm in a dream?"
She couldn't put it down and stroked the gold cakes back and forth. It always felt a little unreal. She was cleaning the table and sweeping the floor before, but suddenly a lot of gold cakes appeared in front of her. This was real gold.
Merlot and ambergris were valuable, but she only listened to his words. She really didn't have such an intuitive and shocking experience of the feeling of windfall from heaven.
The main reason is that she doesn't know what to buy. Those things are not as real as a pile of gold. Only by sitting on a pile of gold can you be truly rich.
Women in the countryside are so tacky!
"Do I want to pinch you to wake you up?"
"Disgusting!" After Lin Xiuqing slapped him, she reluctantly handed him the piece of gold cake she had bitten, "What should I do with these things? Where should I hide them?"
Ye Yaodong put the piece of gold cake into the box again, and then thought for a while, "The lock on it is also broken, so it's not safe to put it at home... Hmm... How about burying it under the two sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted yesterday?
"
"Under the tree?"
"Yes, just bury it under the tree! Bury it deeper. You can't put the eggs in one basket. If you put all your treasures at home, you won't be afraid of being carried away in one pot. Anyway, the tree has just been planted and the soil has been newly buried. So you need to dig it again.
It’s a hole. Even if you bury it, you won’t be able to see it. Anyway, all the neighbors know that I planted a tree yesterday.”
"And I discussed with the Zhou family next door to buy materials with them and borrow workers for a few days to build another room for the old lady to live in. Then we can spend more money to enclose a yard and enclose the door.
"
"That's fine, you can figure it out. Anyway, we don't have a lot of money on hand right now. Let's just bury it first. It's useless to put it in our hands."
"It's useless."
Ye Yaodong suddenly wasn't as happy as he was just now. He couldn't spend this money immediately and his happiness would be halved...
Alas, we still have to go to sea to continue our work.
"Count the number first and then bury it..."
Maybe the couple were talking too loudly in the room, which directly affected the child's sleep. The baby's cry suddenly sounded, and Lin Xiuqing hurriedly went to comfort the child.
"I'll coax the child, and you go and eat quickly. Then get busy after eating. We've all eaten."
"Okay, where are the two sons?"
"Where else could they go? They went next door to play."
"I haven't seen anyone since I came back all day long. I'm even busier than me." Ye Yaodong muttered a few words before going out to eat.
After eating, he didn't bother to take a shower. He went inside and counted the gold cakes. No more, no less, exactly 100. He calculated silently, and it was about 50 kilograms!
No wonder this black box doesn't look big and is quite heavy.
In fact, the weight of this gold cake is 248 grams each, but there is no scale, so he can only weigh it by feeling with his hands.
After counting, he put the gold cakes back into the black box and covered it, but in an instant he took out another one and said, "Would you like to keep one next to you? So that you can take it out to take a look and touch it from time to time?"
When he mentioned this, he remembered that in her previous life, she didn't even have a piece of gold jewelry. Their family was poor, he didn't do anything, and they had no daughters. When she was 50, she didn't have a daughter to give her gold to make ten. She didn't even have gold earrings.
No.
Thinking of this, Ye Yaodong felt that he was not very competent after starting over. He didn't even think of buying her a gold necklace, ring and earrings. He had to find time to arrange it.
"How many are there?" Lin Xiuqing asked while breastfeeding.
"Exactly one hundred, no more, no less, I guess that's a good number."
"Then take one out and keep it next to you. You can look at it occasionally and feel happy... Just keep the one with the tooth mark that I bitten just now. The others are useless if you keep them on hand. Just bury them.
Bar."
If there are conditions, what woman doesn't like gold, silver and jewelry? Those who say they don't like it either don't have the conditions or are too sensible.
Ye Yaodong originally took it out casually without identifying any of them. After hearing what she said, he started rummaging through it again, and then took it over for her to play with.
Lin Xiuqing took it and said with a smile: "How could these ancient people think of making gold into the shape of a pancake? It's quite creative and looks festive."
"Who knows? Maybe the flatbread can fill the stomach, so it's shaped like this, which means something good!"
"It's possible. Our family is rich and we have enough to share. Meloz, ambergris, and this box of gold cakes. From now on, the three brothers and sisters can choose any of them."
"You are thinking too far ahead. They are still young, and you are thinking of dividing the family property."
"Anyway, whatever I earn will be theirs."
Father Ye: Does this sound familiar?
"You go take a bath and go to bed early. Don't get up until there is no one around at night to bury it."
"Well, there are a lot of goods these days. After I finish working these days, I will take the time to go up the mountain to cut some firewood and come back. I heard you saying a few days ago that there is almost no firewood."
"No need for you, you should go out to sea. Wait for the sun to rise for two days, and then I will ask the elder sister-in-law or the second sister-in-law to help look after the child. I can just cut it on the mountain."
"We should be able to burn for two more days, and then we'll finish the burning." Maybe people from the county would come from somewhere at that time, and he happened to be resting and took some time to go to the mountains to chop wood. The time was just right for him.
When he got up at night, he saw that his eldest brother and his second brother's carts were gone at the door. He knew that they had left early and went to sea again.
He looked around and saw that there was no one around, and there was no movement at all. He quickly dug a deep hole with a hoe right under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, buried a box of gold cakes in it, and filled it with soil to restore the ground to its original state.
Then we hurriedly and slowly went to the pier.
If he was late, he would undoubtedly be scolded by his father.
"Why are you waiting so long without knowing how to get out? You haven't rested enough for more than 20 days? What time is it? You just came... Your eldest and second brother's ship has already left..."
"Okay, okay, I'm delayed because of something, and I'm not a child. You can scold so many people."
"What's wrong with so many people? There are so many people. You are also my son. Even if you are old, I can still beat and scold you."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Okay, go back and tell the old lady now and let her scold you to death!"
The villagers nearby started laughing...
Father Ye got angry and cursed a few more times before following him on the boat.
Chapter completed!
