In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 5: Night Visit to the Wang Residence

Wang's house was very big, with three courtyards and many houses. It was pitch black at night, and it was not easy for Chen Ruotong to find the storehouse. A wealthy family like this would have a storehouse, which should be in the second courtyard.

This kind of deep courtyard seemed eerie at night, and the cold wind blew, which made her shudder. She immediately returned to the space and calmed down. Damn, the damn Ma Wu scared him. Ma Wu was still useful, so let him stay in the space for now and throw him out tomorrow.

I have to get the money quickly! Chen Ruotong left the space and walked cautiously towards a house by instinct. Since Wang Yuanwai was injured, the servant Xiao Si went to Wang Yuanwai's yard, so there was no one here. This house has no windows and there are two locks on the door. It seems that there are good things inside! Why is it that I feel a little addicted and excited when I plunder gold and silver? Why don't I feel guilty? Most of Wang Yuanwai's property is ill-gotten gains, right? I feel at ease to take his property.

But she couldn't open the big lock without the key. Now she had a bunch of keys on her. Why not give it a try? Maybe she could open the lock here? As soon as she thought about it, she got the key and took out the flashlight and started to open the lock. After trying several keys, she finally opened it. She was so busy that she was sweating.

I entered the room, closed the door tightly, and turned the flashlight to the brightest. I could see everything in the warehouse at a glance. There were more than a dozen large wooden boxes placed against the inner wall. On the left were furniture, and on the right were two rows of antique shelves. On the shelves were porcelain and jade. I didn't have time to look at them carefully, so I put them all away. I left the room, closed the door, and locked it.

This night's work was not in vain, and I gained a lot! Don't be complacent yet, hurry out of Wang's house. Chen Ruotong walked quickly to the main door. Fortunately, the old man who was guarding the door was talking to his wife about Mr. Wang. The main door was closed, but the small side door was open, so she slipped to the side door.

"Who are you? Stop!" the old gatekeeper called her.

"Ahem, ahem, I'm a waiter at Renjitang, I'm going back to get some medicine for Mr. Wang!" Chen Ruotong lowered her head and answered in a hoarse voice, "Time is running out, I have to get back to the clinic quickly."

"Go quickly, go quickly!" the old man urged.

Chen Ruotong ran away from Wang's house. It was such a close call. She would never be a thief again! It was too risky! Fortunately, she was lucky and made a big fortune. It was enough for her to live comfortably in ancient times, right?

Chen Ruotong looked at her watch. It was past nine in the evening. There were few pedestrians on the road and the vendors had all closed their stalls. It was probably almost curfew. She walked into a small alley and entered the space.

I haven't had dinner yet, but my stomach is growling. Let's go to the food area to eat pork chop rice. I teleported to the door of the pork chop rice shop. Chen Ruotong served a big bowl of rice, a small pot of steaming pork ribs, some pickles, and a can of beer. Let's enjoy the food!

It's so comfortable to eat and drink enough! Let's lie down like Ge You, calm our stomach, and rest for ten minutes. It's time to see what we have harvested today.

Chen Ruotong came to the twelve big boxes, and was about to open the blind box. She was so excited and nervous! The boxes were all locked. She didn't have the patience to study how to open the locks, so she just used a machete to chop off the locks. Haha, the stalls selling beef in the fresh food area had machetes! With a machete in hand, everything was ready. Open it! She opened the first box. What was this? A box of books. I didn't realize that Mr. Wang was a book lover. He must be a fake scholar! Why not put it on the bookshelf and lock it up?

Chen Ruotong was curious and picked up a book to look through. Oh, it was an account book. She couldn't understand it, so she threw it into the box. She looked through a few more books and found it was still an account book. There must be something wrong with the account book. She would study it later.

When she opened the second box, her eyes were blinded by a box of small gold bricks, each with 20 taels engraved on it. There were 40 gold bricks in one layer, and there were 10 layers, which meant 400 gold bricks, 8,000 taels of gold, equivalent to 80,000 taels of silver. Ah! She was so proud, what kind of physique was this? A physique that attracted money!

The third box was opened, and it was also a box of small gold bricks, just like the second box, with 8,000 taels of gold. The fourth and fifth boxes were both 20 taels of silver ingots, a total of 20,000 taels. The sixth and seventh boxes were agate jewelry, rubies, sapphires, gold and silver jewelry. The remaining five boxes were silk fabrics, calligraphy and paintings, and ancient books. It was breathtaking, breathtaking!

Chen Ruotong loves gold and silver jewelry the most. Didn’t she travel through time just to buy a gold ring? She couldn’t bear to spend money on the gold ring, so she came to the ancient times to pan for gold just to try it on. God knows her too well. She is God’s own daughter! Ah! She is so beautiful that she can be a salted fish in ancient times and lie down!

Chen Ruotong put the things she collected in the corridor between the Chow Tai Fook counter and the Chow Tai Seng counter, forming a counter of her own. Let's call it the Chen Gold and Silver counter, ha! ha! ha!

"We ordinary people are so happy today, so happy today..." Chen Ruotong sang while holding a gold brick in one hand and a silver ingot in the other, jumping to the spectrometer to test the content and purity of gold and silver. Wow! 990 gold, 995 silver, the purity is quite high! It seems that the smelting technology of the Daliang Dynasty is good! The overall strength of this country is quite strong! I can live happily here.

Tired of all the hard work, she sat down beside the gold brick box, resting for a while while touching the gold. Now she was an invisible rich woman, with 16,000 taels of gold, no, she had received 100 taels of gold ingots from Qin Mama before, a total of 16,100 taels; 20,000 taels of silver plus 100 taels from Qin Mama, 21,000 taels, and 4,500 taels of Qin Mama's silver notes and 500 taels of Wang Yuanwai's silver notes, a total of 25,100 taels! There were also two boxes of jade, jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, which must be worth a lot of money! How to spend so much money? It was so worrying, haha...

She put the gold and silver into the box, closed the lid, and put the fifty taels of silver from Qin Mama's desk, the twenty taels of gold found at the bedside, and the bag of silver from Ma Wu on the counter for easy access later. After sorting these out, she went to the home improvement area to take a shower. After taking a shower, she put on clean pajamas and went to sleep comfortably!

I slept too late last night, so I didn't get up until after 8 o'clock in the morning. The men's clothes I wore yesterday were dirty, so I couldn't wear them today. I changed into a light blue robe with wide sleeves. It had the temperament of an ancient scholar, but it was a little big and fat, and it didn't fit me. I had to buy a few sets of suitable men's clothes, and a few pairs of shoes.

Chen Ruotong didn't eat breakfast in the space. She planned to spend money, go to a restaurant, and taste ancient delicacies. She dressed herself up and looked like a handsome scholar today. No one passed by in the alley, it was very quiet. Chen Ruotong left the space, put her hands behind her back, walked out of the alley in a square step, and imitated the scholar in the TV series.

There are a lot of pedestrians walking on the main street. The shops on both sides of the street have started business. There are also many roadside stalls selling buns, pancakes, noodles and wontons. It is very lively and has a strong smell of fireworks.

Wontons are good to eat in the morning. Chen Ruotong ordered a bowl of wontons stuffed with cabbage and pork. The skin is thin and the filling is large. It is delicious and fresh, and the portion is large. A bowl costs eight cents, which is not expensive and quite affordable. Not to mention, Ma Wu has more than ten copper coins in his purse, which is easy to spend. Chen Ruotong paid eight cents and continued to stroll around to buy food. She also bought a large meat bun, which cost three cents.

The prices in ancient times were not bad. One penny was equivalent to one yuan in modern times, and one tael of silver was equivalent to one thousand pennies, which was equivalent to one thousand yuan. Ordinary people were very good if they earned three taels of silver a month. How strong would Chen Ruotong's purchasing power be if she had so much silver? Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh, hahaha!
