The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Seeing the two people hesitant and embarrassed, Gu Yin realized that in ancient times, chefs, carpenters, blacksmiths and other people who made a living by hand were very cautious and secretive about their own skills and would not easily let outsiders learn them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. Just pretend I didn't say that."

Gu Yin came to her senses and quickly apologized.

When the two heard her apology, they quickly waved their hands, looking nervous, but didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, it was indeed my negligence. This does not affect the terms we agreed on before, everything remains the same."

The two men were relieved to hear this, as they were afraid that they would upset the young lady on the first day.

Gu Yin didn't have any other ideas. After all, it was someone's ancestral job, so it was normal to keep it secret. You couldn't lose the ancestral job just for a job.

"I do have a birthday cake here, and I need your help to make it."

Since the restaurant has prepared a birthday-themed private room, how can it be without a birthday cake? Fortunately, Gu Yin knew how to make a cake, but she had all the tools and materials, so she needed to think about it again.

"Birthday cake?" It was the first time that Mr. Bao and Aunt Feng heard of it.

Gu Yin nodded and said:

"Yes, birthday cake. I will let Feicui teach you the specific production method later. I have also ordered the tools and ingredients needed to make the birthday cake. They will be delivered tomorrow. You can start practicing tomorrow and try to finish it within three days."

The other ingredients for making the cake were easy to find, but the milk really stumped Gu Yin at first.

I never thought that when I was chatting in the courtyard a few days ago, I heard his two younger brothers complain:

"Second brother, next time Guan Hongfei invites us to his house, you must not agree."

Gu Chenheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he thought of some bad memories. He frowned slightly and nodded slowly.

Gu Yin found it a little funny to see the two people still in fear, so she asked casually:

"What's wrong? Didn't you have fun at your friend's house?"

The two shook their heads and complained:

"It was fun, but every time we went to his house he gave us milk to drink, which tasted a bit fishy."

Hmm? Hearing about milk, Gu Yin raised her eyebrows secretly, sat up straight and confirmed with the two of them:

"They have milk? Where did it come from?"

"Yes, he has a cow at home and has plenty of milk to drink every day."

Gu Yin was delighted when she heard this and continued to ask questions. It turned out that their classmate Guan Hongfei was very thin when he was young. His father Guanwai heard from somewhere that drinking milk can nourish the body, so he bought a dairy cow from the border. Later, seeing that Guan Hongfei was indeed fat and white, he urged him to drink milk every day.

Cows produce a lot of milk, so every friend who goes to his house will be warmly offered two bowls of milk. This matter is not a secret in Ning County, but Gu Yin's family has just arrived and has not heard of it yet.

In that case, she didn't hesitate and immediately sent Feicui and the servant to the government to inquire whether the cow could be bought back.

When the official heard that the visitor wanted to buy a dairy cow, he was surprised. His young master was in good health and should not be short of milk. However, he had no say in the matter.

"My young lady said that if you still want to drink milk every day, you can send someone to the backyard of the county government office to get it every day. It's free."

Seeing that the housekeeper seemed a little worried, Feicui hurriedly put forward the conditions proposed by her young lady.

It was obvious that Feicui really wanted to buy the cow, and he was buying it for the county magistrate's daughter. The housekeeper did not dare to delay and hurried to ask his master for permission.

The results are obvious.

The two guessed that the birthday cake should be a novel snack, and their curiosity was aroused. They also nodded and agreed that they would do what the lady asked them to do no matter what.

In addition to birthday cakes, Gu Yin also plans to launch several kinds of sweet soup. How can you miss a bowl of cold sweet soup on a hot day? Fortunately, she has no shortage of milk now. She began to miss the colorful and chewy taro balls. If there is no sweet potato, pumpkin can be used as a substitute. In addition, taro, red beans, yam, etc., as long as they can be steamed and mashed, can be used to make taro balls. You can prepare them according to the ingredients.

Add some soft and glutinous red beans to the milk taro balls, and you can add some suitable fruits. The thought of it is fascinating.

Fortunately, sugar water is easy to make, and almost anyone with hands can make it. Gu Yin believes that they will be able to do it after trying it once.

I briefly mentioned it to the two aunts.

"Okay, then you guys go get busy first."

After saying everything that needed to be said, Gu Yin let them go about their business.

Uncle Zhu’s cold noodles were just ready.

Gu Yin picked it up and found that the dough was relatively soft. The side dishes included cucumber, carrot, fungus, chopped green onion and coriander. She picked up a piece of dough with chopsticks and tasted it carefully. The dough was indeed soft, and it should be made of rice. The side dishes and sauces were very good. The shredded vegetables were crisp and refreshing, with a slightly numbing taste.

It's a pity that there are no peppers, otherwise it would taste better, but this can only be considered after her peppers are ripe. In addition, there are some things missing, such as peanuts and lotus root noodles. It's understandable that Dajichao hasn't made lotus root noodles yet, but lotus root noodles should have been made a long time ago.

"It tastes great, you are worthy of being a great chef." Gu Yin praised, and then asked the uncle: "Uncle, can you make lotus root noodles?"

"Yes, Miss, do you want to use lotus root noodles as a side dish for cold noodles?"

Chefs are different. They are very sensitive to food and guessed Gu Yin’s intention when he heard the question.

"Yes, you can also use flour to make cold noodles, which will make them chewier. I'll give you the recipe later and you can try it."

Regardless of whether it was soft or hard, Gu Yin thought it was delicious, so she didn't force it. After the uncle learned how to make it, maybe he could let the customers choose for themselves.

"Miss, do you mean to provide a prescription?"

Uncle Zhu was surprised when he heard this. Nowadays, everyone’s recipe is kept secret, and he has never seen anyone share a recipe like this. If he could learn a few more tricks, he would be able to hold his head high when he met his ancestors in the underworld.

Gu Yin nodded to indicate that he had heard correctly. She didn't want to be a chef herself. Wouldn't it be nice to just sit back and wait for the food to come? Why did she have to do it herself? It would be so tiring.

"There will be many more recipes in the future. As long as you are willing to think about it, I can provide you with them."

The atmosphere has been set to this point, it would be a waste if we don’t add some finishing touches.

Uncle Zhu was instantly excited when he heard this:

"I'm happy to, miss, whatever you want to eat, just leave it to me!"

The restaurant's affairs had been mostly explained, and Gu Yin planned to let them familiarize themselves with the situation for two days, so she only sent Feicui to keep an eye on it.

It was already August, and the rice in the farm had been harvested. It was time to plant the next season's rice. Gu Yin had not forgotten her hybrid rice, which was a top priority. Whether the people of Daji Dynasty could have enough food in the future depended on it.
