The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

After having a delicious sweet potato feast, Gu Yiyao didn't want to go out with her grandfather and others to dig sweet potatoes anymore.

She is going to start teaching her aunt how to make vermicelli, which is an important raw material for making hot and sour noodles in the future!

I can earn a few copper coins from selling sweet potatoes, so I still have to process them. Then I can let my aunt open a food shop in the capital, and then I will have a profitable business!

She had already inquired about it, and knew that there was no rule in this dynasty that merchants could not take the imperial examinations, so her aunt opening a food store would not have any impact on her uncle and her younger cousins.

In fact, the production process of vermicelli is very simple. After making the paste, let it settle overnight, pour out the clean water on the surface, and then put the sweet potato starch underneath in the sun to dry.

Then she mixed the dried sweet potato flour into a paste and steamed it over high heat, and then poured it into a large gourd that she had asked her second uncle to make for her in advance.

There are some small holes at the bottom of the big gourd, which is constantly beaten to make it leak into the boiling water. Finally, the floating vermicelli is scooped into the cold water pot with specially made extended chopsticks.

Finally, hang it horizontally on a horizontal bar and pour cold water on it repeatedly until the vermicelli is frozen through. Dry it in the sun and you're done!

What Gu Yiyao didn't know was that while she was enthusiastically teaching Yang how to make vermicelli, a secret guard of the Xie family returned to the Xie Mansion in the capital and went to Xie Tingzhou's study.

……

Gu Yiyao didn't plan to make too much for the first time. She learned the method of making vermicelli from a video shared by a food blogger when she was bored in the end times. She had never practiced it before and didn't know if she could make it.

Gu Yiyao felt inexplicably excited. She used to like browsing food and the process of food preparation on Star Brain. After a long time, she memorized all kinds of recipes. This hobby was considered by her mother to be a waste of time.

After all, in the apocalypse, the staple food is nutrient solution. Even if you know the recipe by heart, what’s the use? Do you have the ingredients to cook?

No!

But now, her hobby which her mother thought was a waste of time can actually be put to good use. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't proud!

It turns out that famous saying is true, every step in life counts!

It’s just a bit of a pity that my mother in this life has no memory of her previous life.

Otherwise, she will let her mother know what it means to be slapped in the face!

"Yao girl, this big stone mill you asked your second uncle to make for you is actually for making sweet potato flour!"

Only then did Yang understand the purpose of the big stone in the yard.

Yang is usually a good worker. At this moment, she was full of curiosity about the hot and sour noodles that Gu Yiyao described, and she worked vigorously.

The craftsmen made the millstone very delicately, and it is not tiring to push it.

Yang ground 4 basins of sweet potato paste in one breath. If Gu Yiyao hadn’t stopped her, she would have ground 4 more basins!

Yang is very talented in cooking. Gu Yiyao only needs to explain it to her once, and she seems to be able to cook it on her own without any instruction, and there is no need for her to remind her again!

Gu Yiyao felt that this might be because she had given the Gu family members the marrow cleansing pill, which had stimulated their talents to the maximum extent.

For example, little Gu is very good at embroidery. If you give her a pattern that she has never embroidered before, she can embroider it calmly after studying it for a while!

Even if Yang gave her a handful of wild vegetables, she would cook them better than others!

And because she had awakened her healing powers, she had a natural passion for medical books and would forget to eat and sleep once she read them!

Gu Yiyao and Yang worked hard for an entire afternoon and finally hung the vermicelli on the rack in the yard!

Brothers Gu Xiucai and Gu Yulang have returned pushing ox carts, followed by more villagers!

This afternoon, Gu Xiucai and his team brought back even more sweet potatoes, and they made several trips back and forth to transport them back!

Gu Xiucai was still very generous and let each of them take four sweet potatoes back home, and the villagers all went back happily.

This sweet potato tastes so delicious!

In this way, the 5 acres of sweet potatoes planted by the Gu family were dug up in 2 days with the help of the villagers of Gujia Village!

200 stones of sweet potatoes could not even be stored in the huge cellar dug by the Gu family!

Not to mention that the villagers of Gujia Village were extremely excited, even the Gu family members felt like they were in a dream. They were unable to react when looking at the mountains of sweet potatoes.

This is what they really grew!

"Well... well, Mr. Gu... Mr. Gu, can you give me some sweet potato seeds next year? I... I also want to plant some in my own fields!"

A farmer looked at Gu Xiucai with a red face. He spoke haltingly at first, but then he just made up his mind and blurted out everything!

The farmer kept his head down and stared at his straw sandals, which had already exposed his big toe, and he didn't dare to look up!

"Gu Xiucai, please give us some sweet potato seeds. Sweet potatoes are high in yield, delicious and filling!"

The villagers of Gujia Village were already ready to make a move, and when they saw someone take the lead and speak out, they all started talking at once.

"That's not difficult. Next year, I will grow sweet potato seedlings in my fields. You just need to come and buy them. 1000 sweet potato seedlings cost ten cents. You only need to buy 3000 seedlings for one acre of land."

Gu Xiucai was very happy to help these villagers who worked so hard but still could not get enough food. He had experienced hunger himself and naturally knew how painful it felt!

He had long thought about selling sweet potato seedlings to the villagers of Gujia Village.

But my granddaughter said that if the soil is not improved, one acre of land will only produce about 10 stones.

Moreover, the taste may not be as good as the ones grown at home.

Gu Xiucai thought about it and felt that it would be better to say some things in advance, so he spoke again:

"We use a special planting method to grow them, so the yield is so high. You may only get about 10 dan per acre. If you are willing, I will ask my Dalang to come back for a few days next year to teach you how to ferment fertilizer, so that the yield can be higher."

"Living Bodhisattva! Gu Xiucai, you really are a living Bodhisattva!"

An old man with white hair heard what Gu Xiucai said, and he knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Xiucai!

Seeing this, the other villagers also knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Xiucai. They were unwilling to stop even when blood oozed from their foreheads!

The farmer who had nothing could only express his gratitude in this self-mutilation way...

Many elderly people even started to wipe their tears. With this sweet potato, they will never go hungry again!

Gu Daniu didn't care how Gu Xiucai tried to pull them up, he just followed the villagers and banged his head together!

Gu Xiucai was so scared that he shouted, "If you keep knocking, I won't sell you sweet potato seedlings!"

The villagers finally stood up, but some people were still crying silently!

Gu Yiyao's eyes also became red as she watched this. She grew up in Gujia Village and knew very well how hardworking these villagers were.

But despite their hard work, they still could not get enough food or warm clothes.

One reason is that most of the grain they grow has to be handed over to the imperial court, and the second and most important reason is that the soil in Da Deng Kingdom is too poor.

The yield of grain grown in the fields is very low. The yield of the best paddy fields is only one stone per mu, not to mention the dry fields, which yield less than half a stone per mu!

With such yield per mu, how could ordinary people dare to eat to their heart's content?
