Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"Sister Huairu, my brother, his master, and Brother Damao all told me that their jobs are different. Working in a steel rolling mill, the salary is very low, only two or three hundred thousand yuan a month."

My brother earns over a million yuan at the restaurant. He's still learning to cook; the better his skills, the higher his income will be.

In the restaurant, Uncle Qi, who is also my brother's mentor, earns a salary of 1.8 million yuan. When he goes out to cook banquets, he earns at least 120,000 yuan per table. He only cooks for a few restaurants a month, and his income is the highest.

Second Stove is Uncle Ma, whose salary is 1.2 million. When he goes out to cook banquets, he earns 10 yuan per table.

Sanzao is my brother's fourth senior apprentice. He charges three to five yuan for preparing banquets, and usually... "He Yushui explained to Qin Huairu.

"That's right. The better your skills, the higher your income. If you cook for three tables when you go out, your income will be higher than that of an ordinary worker."

Zhu Zi is only eighteen years old and already earns a million. There aren't many people like him. He will earn a lot of money when he goes out to work at banquets in the future.

They also need to learn technical skills at the restaurant. This seems to be like the college graduates I've heard about – long study time, high salary, and fast promotion. Zhu Zi will have a bright future.”

Qin Huairu was praising He Yuzhu and at the same time determined to build a good relationship with him, as he was far superior to Jia Dongxu in every way.

"Zhu Zi is young, but he works very hard. Young people should be like that." Tan Guilan has always thought He Yuzhu was very good and the best young man in the compound.

"Sister Huairu, the steel rolling mill is hiring. I heard from Brother Damao during dinner that the kitchen staff at the steel rolling mill is also hiring."

We need to build three new canteens and hire more than sixty workers. You could give it a try; there are quite a few female workers in the restaurants as well.

"Xiao Qin should give it a try. Having a stable job means you won't have to be at the mercy of others. You're still young; you have the opportunity to work. Staying at home and only doing housework isn't a good thing."

"Rain, could you please ask about the job openings for me? I'd like to give it a try. I don't have much housework to do at home." Qin Huairu immediately understood what Tan Guilan meant.

"I'll go ask Brother Da Mao."

.......

In the evening, He Yushui went back to her small room to rest, and at ten o'clock, He Yuzhu turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Eager to enter the system space, I swallowed hard as I looked at the 868 boxes in front of me, wondering what treasures were inside.

He Yuzhu began to open all the boxes. After all 868 boxes were opened, only satisfaction remained, and he was still very satisfied.

There were 396 boxes filled with gold, not just large and small yellow croakers, but also most of the gold ingots from the Qing Dynasty.

The core characteristics of Qing Dynasty gold ingots include their unique boat-shaped or horseshoe-shaped design, pure gold material (99% or higher gold content), mint marks or inscriptions such as the character for longevity, exquisite casting techniques, and dual attributes of monetary function and collectible value. These features embody the typical design and cultural connotations of Qing Dynasty gold and silver coins.

Gold ingots from the Qing Dynasty were mainly boat-shaped (horseshoe-shaped), with upturned ends and a low, flat middle, making them easy to carry and store.

尺寸多样，常见小型元宝高约1.1厘米、长4.5厘米、宽2.5厘米，大型元宝如湖北厘金锭可达长11.4厘米、重1950克。‌‌

Material: Made of pure gold, with a gold content of over 99%, it is solid in texture and has a pure golden color.

Inscriptions: The surface is often stamped with the mint name, the year of minting (such as "December of the 26th year of Guangxu"), and a "pure gold" mark. Some longevity-themed ingots are decorated with the seal script character "寿" (longevity), symbolizing good fortune.

He Yuzhu saw that there were both large and small gold ingots, and each box weighed about 20 kilograms. The 396 boxes weighed about 7920 kilograms.

They weigh nearly eight tons, which is quite impressive, and worth eight or nine million Ugly Yuan, which is no small sum these days. Moreover, these gold ingots aren't ordinary gold; selling them at the price of regular gold would be a huge loss!

Craftsmanship: Cast by the official mint, the molds are exquisite, resulting in a natural patina and smooth edges after casting, demonstrating a high level of craftsmanship.

Uses: Primarily used for tax collection, large-scale trade currency, and national reserves; special types, such as those with the "longevity" character pattern, are used for prayer and sacrificial rites, also carrying cultural symbolic significance.

The standard weight of a gold ingot in the Qing Dynasty was 1562.5 grams (50 taels). There was also a common ten-tael gold ingot, which weighed about 375 grams. This was a common but non-standard weight in circulation.

Special longevity character patterned ingot: approximately 58.8 grams.

Specially crafted pure gold ingot: approximately 3941 grams.

The weight of gold ingots varied across different dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, one tael (两) weighed approximately 37.3 grams, a standard also used in the Qing Dynasty.

These gold ingots, all of which weighed the same, could be found in the box. He Yuzhu didn't need them much in the future, so he wanted to keep them as souvenirs rather than sell them.

There are 472 boxes left!

There were 412 boxes containing silver ingots and silver dollars. Each box weighed 40 to 50 kilograms, with 20 rolls of sealed silver dollars and silver ingots laid flat inside.

These boxes are so heavy, it's no easy feat for just one person to carry them. Thank you to these hardworking delivery workers. Next time, it would be even better if you could deliver more; I never mind having more treasure.

There were a total of ninety-seven boxes of silver dollars, less than two hundred thousand silver dollars, which was still a huge fortune.

As for the remaining silver ingots, He Yuzhu was unsure of the exchange rate with gold, which varied from several hundred to several tens of yuan, and he also didn't know the timing.

I only remember that in the 1970s, there was a book called "Silver Empire" in the United States. It was worth a lot of money and could be exchanged for silver, leaving a few ingots as souvenirs.

There are still sixty boxes left, containing various antiques, gold and silver jewelry, and jade.

There were more than a dozen Qing Dynasty dragon and phoenix crowns, as well as ministers' robes, in a total of five boxes.

These items cannot be melted down and sold as gold or gemstones, and the quantity is not very large.

There were forty-six boxes of antiques. He Yuzhu didn't understand them. His appraisal skills were only at a beginner level, especially with calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain. He was still a novice. He skipped them and said he would look at them later when he was more capable.

Finally, there were nine boxes of Hetian jade pebbles and top-quality jadeite. These people had quite a lot of collections, and if they went to the port city in the future to open a jewelry company, they would have a certain amount of raw materials.

This harvest was huge, but it's still a bit short of being able to fully expand the business in the port city.

With this gold, He Yuzhu also had capital. Having obtained the treasure, he increasingly wanted to go to the port city to make a name for himself.

Having a system should allow one to rise above others. Moreover, as a prominent businessman in Hong Kong, having made contributions to the country, it serves as an excellent safeguard.

It would be a complete waste of time to do it in the country!

After letting out a few shouts in the system space to vent his excitement, He Yuzhu went back to bed and started to sleep.

It seems my mental fortitude as a transmigrator is lacking. I tossed and turned in bed until around 2 a.m. before finally falling asleep. When the alarm rang the next day, I was very reluctant to get out of bed.

Finding the treasure eight or ten more times should improve one's mental fortitude.

"Brother, last night, Sister Huairu wanted to work at the steel mill's canteen and asked me to inquire about the specific recruitment time. I agreed, but before going to bed last night, I thought it would be better for you to ask Brother Damao."

"Qin Huairu wants to go to work, why doesn't she ask Jia Dongxu instead of you?"

"I told her about the cafeteria job openings, and Aunt Tan said that she was young and should be working."

"I'll go ask Xu Damao. Is there anything else?"

"there is none left."

Whether Qin Huairu's early start to work will affect Jia Zhangshi remains to be seen!

Before they knew it, it was mid-July, and He Yushui began her summer vacation.

Teachers are more lenient these days. He Yushui has been in school for a year, and the school has never mentioned holding a parent-teacher meeting.
