Chapter 25: A Cave Full of Gold, Silver, Jewels, and Treasures

Iron Orchid rushed out without even eating lunch. She had no appetite now, her mind was filled with treasure. It was better to get it to the space as soon as possible. If someone got there before her, she would be heartbroken.

The address of the treasure left by the original owner’s father was a place in the suburban mountains. He had only been there once, and he had only taken a quick glance before leaving. He didn’t dare to touch this unexpected fortune, he was afraid that he would lose his mind if he got it. Moreover, in this era, having a lot of wealth wasn’t a glamorous thing, it might even be a death warrant.

Therefore, he never told his wife and daughter about this secret. His wife knew that her husband had left a letter for their daughter, but she never opened the wooden box to look at it. So now, Iron Orchid was the second person to know about the treasure.

It was three hours later when she arrived at the suburban mountains. According to the description in the letter, Iron Orchid found a large stone with a cross carved on it at the foot of the mountain. Following the stone, she walked forward, passing a small stream, then a dense forest, and finally reached a cliff.

Iron Orchid had a shadow over cliffs. In her previous life, she had died by jumping off a cliff, and she still felt a little apprehensive when she saw this kind of place.

There was a trigger button on the cliff, with a small yellow fish pattern carved on it. Iron Orchid pressed it lightly.

A rumbling sound echoed. A revolving stone door suddenly appeared on the cliff.

Iron Orchid’s eyes lit up. This old landowner was really clever, hiding the treasure here, who would find this place?

The stone door was pitch black inside. Iron Orchid took a 2-meter long bamboo pole from the space, lit a candle, and walked forward, exploring as she went.

After walking through a narrow passage, another stone door appeared. This stone door had a rotating mechanism, it needed to be rotated to the corresponding pattern to open.

It has to be said, the old landowner was really cautious.

Iron Orchid followed the method given in the letter, and quickly opened the second stone door.

As soon as she opened the door, Iron Orchid was stunned by the sight before her.

The space wasn’t big, probably about ten square meters, but it was densely packed with hundreds of wooden boxes.

Iron Orchid casually opened a wooden box, and she was almost blinded by the light.

My God, so many small yellow fish!

They were so dazzling, they were simply golden!

Iron Orchid’s heart pounded wildly, she opened several boxes in a row, all of them were small yellow fish.

Finally, she opened all the wooden boxes in one breath.

Then she was completely shocked.

So many! So many! So many treasures!

There were more than ten boxes full of small yellow fish alone!

There were also gold ingots, gold bars, dozens of boxes of various gold and silver jewelry. There were ten boxes of rubies, sapphires, various jade, emeralds, agate, and jewelry, sparkling and dazzling.

There were also dozens of boxes of ancient precious porcelain, calligraphy, embroidery, stone carvings, bronzeware, etc.

Iron Orchid’s eyes were dazzled, she was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth.

This was all money! In later generations, it would be worth over a billion yuan!

Hahaha, today was another day of getting rich!

Her excited little hands started to dance!

Iron Orchid waved her hand, and all the wooden boxes in front of her were collected into the space.

Then she followed them into the space.

The Treasure House had so many new items, she had to organize them.

Iron Orchid used her mind to arrange the items one by one.

Soon, the whole room was filled to the brim, neatly organized.

Looking at the treasures in front of her, Iron Orchid felt very satisfied.

These were her capital for retirement, they were probably worth hundreds of billions of yuan combined.

Oh my, I accidentally became a billionaire, what a sin, what a sin.

Hehe(≧▽≦) ～

After collecting the things, Iron Orchid finally felt hungry. She had collected some cured meat and sausage from Aunt Ma’s house a few days ago, so she decided to make a pot of cured meat rice.

Iron Orchid found that her appetite was particularly good when she was happy. So she directly took two sausages and a strip of cured meat, sliced them, put them in a bowl, added soy sauce and sugar, and stirred them.

Then, she washed two jin of rice and soaked it for a while.

She brushed oil on the clay pot, put the rice and hot water in the pot, and simmered it over low heat for 10 minutes.

When it was almost cooked, she opened the lid, used chopsticks to poke a few holes in the rice to release the steam, and then placed the stirred cured meat and sausage on top of the rice.

She covered the lid and simmered for another 8 minutes. When the time was up, she placed the clay pot on the table and let it sit for a while.

Finally, she opened the lid, sprinkled some scallions, poured hot oil over it, stirred it, and a pot of fragrant cured meat rice was ready.

Iron Orchid took a bite and fell in love.

It was so delicious!

The rice was rich in sauce, the cured meat and sausage were salty and sweet, the combination of the two was delicious with every bite.

Especially the crust at the bottom of the clay pot, golden and crispy, it was so satisfying to eat with a crunch.

Iron Orchid ate until her stomach was full.

But she still ate all the remaining rice.

Every grain of rice is hard-earned.

Thank you for the hard work of the working people.

Today was still very happy.

After dinner, Iron Orchid slept soundly.

When she woke up again, it was almost dark outside.

“Alright! Time to work!”

Iron Orchid jumped out of bed with a somersault.

She sat down at the dressing table and started to get ready.

20 minutes later, a middle-aged woman with dark skin appeared in the mirror.

“Tonight, I’m going to visit the deputy director of the textile factory!”

Iron Orchid came out of the space and left the cliff cave. She wiped away all the traces she had left. Although there was nothing left inside, she still preserved it a little, maybe she could use it later.

……

It was around 8 pm.

When Iron Orchid arrived at the deputy director’s house, the whole family was already resting.

But the deputy director and his wife hadn’t gone to sleep yet, they were lying in bed chatting.

“Old Zhang, how did your trip to the Iron family go today, did the girl agree?”

The deputy director’s wife asked.

The deputy director shook his head: “She didn’t agree, that girl is very bold, she’s not afraid of anything.”

The deputy director’s wife: “I don’t care, my nephew is waiting for this job, you have to deal with it quickly, otherwise, my family will be nagging me again.”

“Okay, I know.” The deputy director: “I gave the girl three days to think about it. If she doesn’t agree, I’ll write a letter of accusation and make her father’s reputation stink, let’s see how she deals with it.”

The deputy director’s wife hesitated: “Is her father really in contact with the old landowner, how do you know?”

The deputy director: “I heard a rumor before, but I wasn’t sure, actually, it’s probably not true, I just used it to scare the girl. Anyway, in my position, I can make anything true.”

The deputy director’s wife laughed and punched him:

“You’re so bad… you’re just scaring the little girl…”

The deputy director: “Who am I doing this for, it’s for you! Wife, we haven’t done that in a long time, why don’t we… hehe…”

The deputy director’s wife: “Humph! You’re so annoying!”

After a while, a series of ambiguous smacking sounds came from the room.
