At the top of the jar were a bunch of silver ingots, packed full, with silver coins filling in any gaps.
This gave a clear idea of just how dedicated was the person who packed this jar.
Yu Jingting casually picked up an ingot. Though he had never seen one before, he knew from storytelling podcasts that they were valuable.
"Shall we melt one down later to make some jewelry?" Yu Jingting picked up a large one, about to put it in his pocket, but Suizi snatched it away.
"We can't melt it down!!!" Suizi noticed the words "Qing Dynasty Treasury Silver" engraved on the bottom of the ingot and quickly envisioned an auction price string in her mind.
This kind of intact treasury silver, kept for a dozen or twenty years, would not fetch a low price at auction.
Silver itself is cheap, but if it's an antique, that's another matter.
If he melted it down to make ordinary jewelry, that would be like throwing pearls to swine!
