The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 615 Treasure Hunting in a Small House (2)

Ye Xilin took Old Mrs. Ye to one of the wing rooms.

The wing room is only two-thirds the size of an ordinary main room, but there are many things in it.

There were two small beds, two small wardrobes, a dressing table and a set of small tables and chairs. The room looked extremely crowded.

But as for the place where the servants live, you can't ask for too much.

Mrs. Ye looked at the dressing table and said with a smile: "This room has one more dressing table than the room next door. It should be the place where the maid lives."

"The materials and workmanship of these furniture are very average, but if you move some of the two empty main rooms in the past, you can make do with it."

Mrs. Ye was very happy when she thought that she could save money on furniture.

Two small beds were placed side by side against the innermost wall, with a small wardrobe on each side.

The old couple walked to a small closet in perfect agreement and began to search silently.

The wardrobe was not big and nothing was left in it.

Ye Xilin went straight to the dressing table as always.

The dressing table was neatly tidied up. Ye Xilin moved it away and took out the drawers. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find even a hair.

Ye Xilin also looked at the tables, chairs and beams one by one, but still found nothing.

Ye Xilin muttered in frustration, "It seems that the servant is still too poor, and there is nothing valuable in the house."

"The Xiao family must have deducted money from their subordinates. It's really unkind."

At this time, there was a loud noise from the wing next door. It must be someone else coming over to the wing.

Mr. Ye searched around the closet and found nothing except dust all over his body.

Then Mr. Ye got under the bed again, and finally found something in the gap under the bed.

Mr. Ye got under the bed and tapped on the bed board as Ye Xilin said. Unexpectedly, he touched a corner of oil paper exposed in the gap of the bed board.

The things wrapped in oil paper were so well hidden that Mr. Ye immediately thought of the banknotes.

Mr. Ye was overjoyed, and his hands were trembling with excitement.

Mr. Ye carefully tugged on the exposed corner of the oil paper, but the exposed part was too small to exert force, and the oil paper inside did not move at all.

Mr. Ye was afraid of tearing the contents inside and did not dare to use brute force. He could only quickly find a way to remove the surrounding wooden boards.

"Old woman, Xilin, come here and help. There is something hidden in the gap between the bed boards."

Mr. Ye called everyone over while tearing down the wooden boards.

Hearing Mr. Ye's voice, Ye Xilin ran over from the closet and immediately got under the bed to help.

The small bed was not big, and the bottom of the bed was low, so Ye Xilin almost crawled in.

Ye Xilin saw the oil paper exposed from the gap between the bed boards, and a big smile appeared on his face.

"You've made a fortune. What's hidden in the cracks shouldn't be banknotes, right?"

Ye Xilin was very familiar with this. Isn't this his method of hiding banknotes on the bed board? It's just that this person was too careless in hiding it, and the oil paper was exposed.

At this time, Mrs. Ye also got in.

The three of them worked together to quickly remove several pieces of wood around them, and happily took out the oil paper from the gaps.

After crawling out from under the bed, Mrs. Ye carefully opened the oil paper and was disappointed to find that there were not bank notes inside, but two slips of paper.

Ye Xilin opened the note and found two recipes, one for red date cake and the other for braised pork.

"Although it's not a banknote, this prescription is worth more than silver."

Mr. Ye finally found something, a precious braised pork recipe, and he was so happy.

Old Mrs. Ye also smiled happily, "There are food recipes hidden on the bed. I think the person who originally slept in this small bed should be a cook."

Seeing that it was a recipe for eating, Ye Xilin hurried to the next door and called Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu over.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard Ye Xilin say that they had found two recipes, they ran over happily.

But the happiest thing was Father Ye, "Hahaha, Braised Pork Recipe, God has been so good to me, let's see how good Yan Dafu will be in the future."

All of a sudden, everyone squeezed into the adjacent wing.

Mother Ye knew how to make red date cake, so she didn't pay much attention and gave it to Wang Chunyu beside her.

Then he excitedly picked up the braised pork recipe, "tangerine peel, bay leaves, cumin, grass fruit, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, licorice, angelica, some cardamom and licorice, and a little sugar."

"There are quite a lot of spices used in it, and there are several that I haven't seen often."

Ye Donglin, who was squeezed into a corner, said cheerfully:

"Mom, many of these spices are herbal medicines. I have seen them in the herbal medicine books at home. You should be able to buy them at the drug store."

The two books on herbal medicine at home had been turned over by Ye Donglin a long time ago. He had gone to the mountains to look for herbal medicine for a while before, so he knew a lot about them.

Father Ye looked at Mother Ye expectantly, "Madam, with this braised pork recipe, can I make braised pork that is even more delicious than the ones from Yan's braised pork shop?"

Ye Mu shook her head, "How can it be so easy? This recipe is only half written. The types of spices are known, but the specific amount of each spice is not written on it."

"The amount of spices and the order in which they are put in are also particular, and the taste will be different if the amount is different."

Seeing that the smile on Father Ye's face had disappeared, Mother Ye said with a smile:

"But I already know the specific spices. I'll try more when I go back. Maybe I can figure it out soon."

"Thank you for your hard work, madam." Ye's father smiled at Ye's mother with a look of shamelessness.

Wang Chunyu looked at the pastry recipe in his hand and thought of a good idea.

"Mom, I can also make some simple pastries. How about we make some pastries and sell them in grocery stores and braised meat shops."

"The two shops are close to the academy. The students in those academies are eight or nine years old when they can eat. I think there should be a business in pastries."

"Yes, yes, those who can go to school in the town should not be short of money. This pastry business is good." Father Ye nodded desperately.

Although the braised pork business is average, he can add some new things.

"Madam, don't you know how to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake and red date cake? You can sell them in the shop."

"Especially red dates. We have planted many jujube trees at home. If we make red dates into red date cakes and sell them, the profit will be higher than selling the red dates directly."

Several people talked about their opinions.

Mrs. Ye originally thought that there would be nothing valuable in the place where the servant lived.

Who would have thought that there would be a surprise hidden inside? I really bought this house right.

Seeing that everyone was standing still around here, Ye Xilin quickly urged:

"Let's study the matter of the prescription and shop after we go home. The most important thing now is treasure hunting. Don't get in the way here."

Seeing that everyone was still happily discussing the business of the two shops, Ye Xilin simply went to the wing next door.
