The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"They're all back."

"Then let's prepare the meal. We can smell the delicious food from far away outside. We are all hungry."

Seeing several large plates of fried bacon with garlic sprouts, chicken, and green cabbage on the table, I couldn't wait to pick up some bacon with chopsticks. The bacon had a slightly smoky flavor, and was salty, fragrant and delicious.

After taking a bite of rice, he looked up and saw Zhenzhu still standing beside him. He quickly said:

"Hurry up and sit down to eat. Where are Aunt Chen and the others?"

"They said to eat in the kitchen."

Pearl sat down without any hesitation. Recently, whenever she was alone with the young lady outside, they would eat at the same table. When she first saw Aunt Chen and the others hiding in the kitchen, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Then go get two bowls and give them more. We can't eat so much."

Gu Yin had been in this world for a while. Although the customs here were relatively open, the master-servant concept was still deeply rooted in their bones. She claimed that she could force them to change. If she forced them to eat at the same table, they would not feel at ease. It would be better to just share the food with them and let them eat by themselves.

Gu Yin was very satisfied with the meal and praised Aunt Chen:

"Auntie, your cooking skills are amazing. You're almost as good as the chef in that restaurant."

Aunt Chen was overjoyed when she heard this, her face full of smiles:

"Miss, I hope you enjoy your meal. But this dish was cooked by my daughter-in-law. I don't have the cooking skills to do it."

"Oh?" Gu Yin was slightly surprised.

Then she saw Zhao Jiang's daughter-in-law Qian, a weak-looking woman who bowed to Gu Yin and stood quietly aside with her head down.

"Do you want to start your own food business?"

"Well...it's a small business, but it should be profitable if done well."

Qian raised her head instantly, her eyes bright. Then she thought of something and looked at her husband and mother-in-law beside her, as if asking for their opinions.

"Oh, the lady is willing to help you. That's a great blessing for you. Why are you still hesitating?"

Aunt Chen looked at her daughter-in-law's dull appearance and slapped her thigh anxiously. Her daughter-in-law was good in every way except that she didn't like to talk and often couldn't say a word even after being beaten with three sticks.

Xie remained silent, and glanced secretly at her husband Zhao Jiang with squinted eyes. Zhao Jiang also knew his wife's temper very well. He nodded slightly at her, indicating that she could make her own decision.

"I do." Qian nodded, and then as if she had thought of something, she hesitated and spoke cautiously:

"It's just... I can cook, but I'm not very good at dealing with people. This..."

Seeing her shy look, Gu Yin was also a little distressed. Doing business is not just about delicious food. If someone comes to provoke her, someone must be able to hold up the scene. At the very least, someone must be able to stabilize the scene and call for help. It would be best if they could do it together, but Zhao Jiang needed to help her manage the farmland, and he definitely couldn't do it.

"It's okay, you don't understand, so let me do it. You just focus on cooking." Aunt Chen saw Gu Yin frowning slightly and quickly interrupted her daughter-in-law, fearing that she would make the young lady angry and lose this way to make money.

Gu Yin's eyes lit up when she heard this. This was a good idea, but...

"What about Dabao?"

Dabao is the grandson of Aunt Chen, the son of Zhao Jiang and Qian. He is only three or four years old and is very naughty.

"Oh, this is easy, just take it with you." Aunt Chen said that these are all trivial matters.

Since they all said so, Gu Yin stopped worrying and told them to prepare the necessary materials and do the preparatory work.

"I'll come back in a few days to teach you how to do it."

Several people started to flatter him with gratitude again, and Gu Yin said she was numb to it.

In the afternoon, Zhao Jiang and Zhao He harrowed the fields that had been turned over in the morning several times, and used the plow to rake the large lumps of soil into small clods.

When Gu Yin saw the ready-made plow, she felt particularly fortunate. Finally, there was a ready-made tool and she didn't have to design it herself.

The shadow caused by the leeches in the morning was still there, and Gu Yin and Zhenzhu didn't dare to go to the fields again.

Gu Yin glanced at the system panel and saw several more vegetable seeds. After thinking for a moment, he decided to plant some more peppers and cherry tomatoes.

The two of them didn't work for long before Gu Yin handed the seeds under her body to Zhao Jiang and Zhao He, telling them to plant them when they were free later and not to rush.

When I returned to the county government office, I met the county magistrate coming out of his father's office with a smile on his face.

When Gu Yin saw him, the county magistrate also saw Gu Yin, stepped forward and bowed deeply to her:

"Miss, are you here to see the master?"

Gu Yin nodded, a little puzzled by his behavior. This man seemed quite respectful to her before, but she could feel that was just on the surface.

Now it seems quite sincere?

"The master is inside, please go in, young lady."

As he spoke, he turned sideways and extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation to her. Gu Yin was puzzled but did not show it on her face. She nodded to him:

"Go and do your work, sir. Don't worry about me."

Then she ran into the office to find her father.

Gu Huaiyi raised his head from behind the table and saw his daughter coming. He laughed and said:

"Yin'er is here, come, let's sit over there for a while."

The two of them came to the tea table nearby, and Gu Huaiyi began to make tea. His movements were smooth and flowing, and for a moment the air was filled with steam and the fragrance of tea.

Gu Yin picked up the cup without hesitation, blew on it, tilted his head back and drank it all.

Gu Huaiyi smiled heartily when he saw her graceful and elegant gesture.

She likes her daughter the way she is, living a free and easy life. Although those gentle and kind ladies are also good, she still prefers her own daughter's energetic appearance.

"Dad, I came to tell you something."

Gu Yin put down the cup and said impatiently.

Gu Huaiyi waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, I just got some news, you can listen to it first."

"What is it?"

"I just received a letter from the court, and there is a result on Fengguji's matter."

Gu Yin sat up straighter. The thing that made his father mention it specially should not be as simple as a reward.

Sure enough, Gu Huaiyi continued:

"The court means that in the future, the court will give 1% of the profits from such inventions within three years to the county or state government that reported it."

"Good thing!"

Gu Yin suddenly jumped up and clapped excitedly.

"That's right, it's all thanks to you, Yin'er."

Gu Huaiyi was also very happy and smiled. The two discussed the matter again.

It took Gu Yin a while to remember why he came here, and he took out a blueprint from his pocket.

Before Gu Yin could speak, Gu Huaiyi asked:

"What new things have you created?"

"Hehe, a curved plow."

She then explained to her father the design concept of the curved plow and its advantages such as flexibility and labor saving.

Gu Huaiyi was so shocked that he was speechless. What kind of daughter did he have? How could she be so smart?

Upon learning that there was already a ready-made one in Zhuangzi, and seeing that it was still early, he did not wait until tomorrow, so he immediately called the county magistrate and several of his followers to rush to Zhuangzi to investigate in person.

Gu Yin had just returned from Zhuangzi not long ago, so she didn't plan to join in the fun.

But she didn't expect that just after she returned to the backyard, her eldest brother's study partner Qi Mo came to report:

"Miss, someone is looking for you."
