The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"That's what you're asking. If I knew, I would have kept it for myself." Gu Yin grinned. Who would complain about having too much money...

Meeting such a person is already a blessing from God.

"That's true..." Ye Ningxin was just joking, she knew what was going on.

Feicui’s current achievements are inseparable from Gu Yin’s cultivation. Even if she was given a Feicui, she would not be able to cultivate Feicui’s current abilities.

The three of them ate and drank along the way, and when they arrived at the milk tea shop, they were so full that they could hardly walk.

"It's so comfortable... I feel so satisfied after eating..." Ye Ningxin leaned back in the chair, touching her stomach with one hand, feeling very satisfied.

In the two months since she returned home, she had been thinking about the delicious food in Ning County, and now she finally had a satisfying meal.

"But it's getting late. We've eaten so much that we won't be able to have hotpot tonight." Song Ruorou was a little worried.

"If you can't eat it today, just save it for tomorrow." Anyway, the restaurant is there and it won't go away, so she can afford to wait for a day.

"This arrangement is not bad. You are tired from traveling these days, so go back early and rest today." Gu Yin said softly.

The three of them rested for a while before setting off, and Ye Ningxin even packed a portion of milk tea.

Song Ruorou looked at her in surprise: "Ningxin, you are packing this too? Didn't you say you would open a milk tea shop when you go back? Didn't you open it?"

If that's the case, wouldn't it make her look really great? After all, she has opened several stores!

Ye Ningxin waved her hand: "It's open, but I always feel that it's not as delicious as here."

"Don't they all taste the same?" Song Ruorou felt that all milk teas tasted similar.

"Of course it's different. The milk tea here always tastes richer. Never mind. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"Maybe it's because you have different feelings about this place that you think the milk tea tastes different." Song Ruorou obviously disagreed with Ye Ningxin's words.

Neither of them could convince the other, so they simply dropped the topic and went back home.

When Ye Jingyu saw Ye Ningxin coming back, he stepped forward to greet her: "Aunt, you're back."

"Well, what's wrong? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Ye Jingyu's attitude seemed like he was deliberately waiting for her to come back.

"There is something I want to tell my aunt." Ye Jingyu said frankly.

"what's up?"

"That's right... before we set off, my grandfather asked me to prepare a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. It was originally intended to be a gift to the county princess, but in the end... as you know, I didn't even have the time to mention it before it was done." Ye Jingyu still feels a little unbelievable and wonders if he is dreaming.

Ye Ningxin chuckled: "Hahaha, who told you to act on your own without telling me. Although A Yin loves money, he cares about the people. He is not like those people you meet in the officialdom who require bribes of gold and silver for everything."

Ye Jingyu was not annoyed at all by what Ye Ningxin said, and said calmly: "We really thought too much about this. But in the end, the county lady gave us such a great convenience, and we are the one who got the advantage after all."

Ye Jingyu even suspected that Gu Yin didn't understand the ways of the world, or didn't know how important core technology was to others, so he agreed so easily.

"So what do you think?" Ye Ningxin asked casually with an indifferent look on her face.

Ye Jingyu said directly: "How about Auntie find an excuse to give her some of it? You have a good relationship, so you must have more opportunities than me."

They did prepare a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but since the other party had already agreed, Ye Jingyu planned to keep a part for himself and he had a new use for the other part.

"This method won't work. Ayin is a person with a bottom line." Ye Ning refused without thinking.

"If you really want to help Ayin, just pay attention to the things in Ning County. If there is a chance to help the people of Ning County, you can find an excuse to donate it. This is the only way to make it work." Although Ye Jingyu's money also came from his family, Ye Ningxin hoped to give Gu Yin more help at this time.

"Thank you for the reminder, Auntie."

"It's a small matter." Ye Ningxin waved her hand generously, then thought of something and said, "By the way, A Yin invites you to eat hot pot together tomorrow, are you going?"

"Of course." Ye Jingyu was more than happy to have the opportunity to get closer to the county lord.

Because Ye Jingyu was involved, Gu Yin called her brother and Zhang Letian to join in.

They were all young people of similar age, and Ye Jingyu was good at dealing with people, so he quickly integrated into this small group.

Ye Ningxin and Ye Jingyu, aunt and nephew, couldn't help but marvel at the hot pot, especially Ye Jingyu, as it was his first time to eat chili.

"So this is chili pepper, very spicy and stimulating, the more I eat it, the more I want to eat it." Ye Jingyu took a sip of tea and resisted the indecent action of Shashasha, "It's a pity that we don't have this thing where we are."

Zhang Letian laughed out loud, looking somewhat smug: "Don't say you don't have it in Nanshui County. You can't see it anywhere else except Ning County."

Gu Yin smiled slightly. Actually, she wanted to say that there was a hot pot restaurant in Beijing, so she could still eat it in Beijing, but she didn't say anything to expose it.

"So that's how it is. Ning County is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It can even produce crops like this." Ye Jingyu seemed to suddenly realize something.

Zhang Letian became excited and began to talk about the development and changes in Ning County in the past six months. He was very excited and lively when he spoke.

Ye Jingyu kept nodding in agreement, and then found an opportunity to ask, "When I came from the south, I found that once I entered Ning County, the official road was completely different from other places. There was a layer of black stuff on the road. I wonder what it is?"

When he saw it, he deliberately got off the carriage, looked at it carefully, touched it, and even smelled it, but he found that it was something he had never seen before.

"Bitumen is also unique to our Ning County. It is used to pave roads. It is not only strong but also very smooth. A carriage can drive on it without feeling any bumps." This is no longer a secret in Ning County. Any child knows it.

"Asphalt? What is that? Where does it come from?" Ye Jingyu asked.

Zhang Letian was stunned by the question: "Asphalt is asphalt. As for where it comes from, you have to ask Gu Yin."

Ye Jingyu shifted his gaze to Gu Yin.

Gu Yin pursed her lips and smiled: "Asphalt is a substance separated by a special method. I'm sorry I can't tell you the details."

Ye Jingyu smiled dumbly and cupped his hands apologetically: "Sister Gu, I'm sorry, I was rude."

Something that important would definitely not be told to others easily. He accidentally asked about someone's secret.

"fine."

"But I wonder if this asphalt is for sale?" Ye Jingyu asked tentatively.

Gu Yin raised an eyebrow: "Do you want to buy back your Nanshui?"

Ye Jingyu nodded: "That's right. We have a wide variety of fruits in Nanshui, and they are sweet and delicious. We have thought about transporting them to nearby counties for sale. Unfortunately, the roads are bumpy, and every time we transport the fruits, only one in ten survives. Most of them are damaged on the way."

"Yesterday I was lucky enough to see such an official road in Ning County, so I wondered if we could build the same one in Nanshui. In this way, it would be much easier for merchants to transport fruits and vegetables."

Moreover, driving on a smooth official road can increase the speed by more than a little bit, and the time is shortened, so the preservation effect of fruits and vegetables will naturally improve.

"If you want to buy, that's fine. But I'll let Wu Yinian talk to you about the details of the cooperation some other day." Gu Yin didn't expect that there would be business coming to her just for a hot pot meal. "Wu Yinian is the manager who specializes in managing asphalt trading. He can make the decision on anything."

Ye Jingyu happily stood up and thanked him, the smile on his face becoming brighter and brighter.

Full of food and drink (no alcohol...)

Gu Yin thought of the inn incident, so she said casually, "I have something else to do later, do you have any plans for the afternoon?"

"No, what is Ayin going to do? Can you take me with you?" Song Ruorou said without thinking.

"Gu Feng said the inn has been built, and he plans to go take a look. If you don't mind, why don't you come with us?" At the construction site, it was estimated that some things had not been put away yet, so it was definitely a mess.

Song Ruorou shook her head suddenly: "What are you disgusted with? Where you can go, I can go too."

The others were also curious about Gu Yin's inn, so they went to visit together.

Shitianxia was not far from the inn, and the group had just finished their meal, so they walked over there to help digest their food.

Just as he arrived at the door of the inn, he happened to meet Gu Feng coming out. Gu Feng saw Gu Yin coming and said happily: "Miss, you are here!"

"Well, what are you busy with?" Gu Yin nodded with a smile.

"There are still some wood scraps and other things in there. The workers are cleaning them up, so I'm just walking around to supervise." Gu Feng explained truthfully. Seeing Gu Yin bringing a group of people over, he took the initiative to say, "Miss, how about I take you on a tour?"

Gu Yin readily agreed and turned to look at her friends. Just as she was about to suggest going to take a look together, she saw Zhang Letian speaking curiously.

"Miss Gu, why does your inn seem different from other places?" Zhang Letian couldn't remember exactly what was different.

Jiang Jingwen also nodded in agreement and added, "It seems that this inn doesn't provide food on the first floor?"

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a large open space with a long counter in the middle. There are passages on both sides of the counter, which looks like you can walk into the store. This is completely different from the usual inn where you have a counter on the left or right side of the door and you can see the stairs leading upstairs as soon as you enter the door.

After listening to their questions, Gu Feng took the initiative to act as a guide: "You two gentlemen are right, this is all arranged according to the young lady's wishes. Our inn does not cook, we only provide accommodation."

"The reason is very simple. Cooking requires a kitchen. If there are too many ingredients, it will inevitably attract a lot of rats. It is not clean, and guests will not feel at ease staying here."

"I see... That sounds great, but I wonder if guests can bring food into the room if they need it?"

"Of course you can. If the guests have leftover food residues, we will arrange for the waiters to clean them up in time." Gu Feng has put a lot of effort into this inn and is familiar with the layout of the inn and the reasons for setting up every part of it.

"Will this place always be empty?" It was empty and probably about the size of two or three houses...
