The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"Dad, you're finally back!"

"Daddy is back!"

As soon as Gu Huaiyi returned home after resigning from his job, he was warmly welcomed by his two young sons.

Seeing his youngest son being so thoughtful, Gu Huaiyi immediately showed a gratified smile on his face.

However, the next second, Gu Chenjun went straight to the kitchen:

"Sister, sister, Daddy is back! We can start making new dishes!"

At this time, Xue came forward to help take off Gu Huaiyi's official uniform and said with a smile, "These two little ones have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time..."

"Humph!" Gu Huaiyi scolded with a smile, "This brat, I thought he was really happy because I came back! It turns out it was because of the food..."

Xue couldn't help laughing, "That's right, they kept pestering their sister to do it, but Yin'er said she had to wait until you came back."

"After all, my daughter is caring..."

"What is this?"

Gu Huaiyi suddenly pointed at the table and asked.

Xue looked in the direction of his finger and replied, "These are newly grown by Yin'er. She said they are called peanuts."

"It's cooked, try it."

Gu Huaiyi sat down at the table, picked up one curiously and looked at it carefully. It was earthy yellow in color, and he squeezed it and found it was hard.

"Peel off the shell and eat the fruit inside." Xue took the initiative to peel one for him.

Gu Huaiyi said as he ate, "It's very firm and pink, and it tastes salty. Did you add salt?"

"That's right. Cooking it with the shells on will inevitably waste salt." Xue nodded, and then seemed to remember something, she covered her mouth and laughed, "I heard that Aunt Xie was frightened by Yin'er's generosity..."

Aunt Xie was in the kitchen at this time. Seeing Gu Yin throwing a handful of sugar, she felt distressed and couldn't help but said, "Miss, isn't it too sweet if you put so much sugar in it?"

"No! It tastes better only when it's sweet!" Gu Yin kept moving his hands.

Because the corn had just been picked and there was no time to make corn starch, Gu Yin used glutinous rice flour instead of the starch needed to make corn pancakes.

Mix the cooked and drained corn kernels, glutinous rice flour, sugar and eggs together and stir well.

The next step is to heat the oil in a pan and slowly fry the mixed batter until both sides are golden brown.

“Done!” Gu Yin put the fried corn cakes on a plate.

The sweet smell spread out, and Gu Chenjun drooled as he watched, "Sister, can we eat it now?"

Gu Yin nodded, "Just let it cool down for a while."

Then he sighed again, "It's a pity there is no granulated sugar, otherwise it would be even more amazing if we sprinkled a layer of granulated sugar on it..."

Aunt Xie: It’s incredible. I almost use up a pound of sugar for one dish…

Gu Chenjun didn't care about that. When he heard that it was time to eat, he picked up the plate and went to the side hall.

"Hey, go slower. If you fall, you won't have anything to eat..." Gu Yin said anxiously.

The sweet and crispy corn pancakes won the favor of the whole family.

Seeing the new crops, Gu Huaiyi couldn't help but ask about them.

When Gu Huaiyi heard Gu Yin say that corn could also be used as a staple food and that the yield was not low, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

He wanted to ask her where she got the seeds from, but he didn't dare to ask.

"Dad, do you want to distribute corn to the people for planting?" Gu Yin saw that his father seemed to be struggling with something, so he asked directly.

Gu Huaiyi shook his head. "This is something you grew, so it's up to you to decide."

"You are doing a great deed by giving the sweet potatoes to the people to plant, not to mention the high-yield rice seeds that the court will soon distribute..."

Gu Yin smiled and said, "Hehe, thank you for your understanding, Dad. I really didn't think of giving away corn and peanuts directly or selling seeds, at least not in the past two years."

"You don't need to explain to Dad, just do as you think."

His father didn't give her any mercy, and Gu Yin was very relieved. She patted her chest and said, "Dad, based on your attitude, I have to make something different for you no matter what!"

"Huh?" Gu Huaiyi was startled. "No! No need! Just stay at home and don't get yourself into so much trouble at once."

Everyone in the county government was so busy that they had no time to rest.

"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Gu Yin said angrily, "I just want to make you a dish to go with your wine..."

"Snacks? What snacks?"

"You'll know in a few days. I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating it!"

Gu Chenjun and Gu Chenheng blinked their shining eyes. Although they didn't say anything, the meaning in their eyes was very clear: they want it too!

Five days later,

Gu Huaiyi held a pair of chopsticks in his right hand and a small wine glass in his left hand. He picked up a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth. He took a sip of the wine and squinted his eyes, savoring it with relish. "Salty, fragrant, and crispy!"

"This appetizer is absolutely amazing!"

"Yin'er, do you have a lot of peanuts? I don't want too much, just give me a small plate every now and then!"

Gu Huaiyi was afraid that if he asked for too much, he would not be able to eat it all.

Gu Yin smiled and said, "I want to use it to press oil and sell it. What we grow now is not enough, but it should be no problem to fry peanuts."

"But eating too much fried peanuts can cause internal heat, so you have to be more careful, Dad."

"Oh! It's not that simple to have a sore throat. Just drink a few cups of herbal tea to cool it down!"

Then Gu Huaiyi asked again, "Peanut oil? What's the difference between it and the rapeseed oil you made?"

"Peanut oil tastes more fragrant and mellow. When we grow a large batch next year, it will definitely sell well!"

"You said it's good, then there will be no problem." Gu Huaiyi nodded in agreement and suggested, "If your restaurant sells fried peanuts, there will be more customers buying drinks."

"As they say, old ginger is wiser! Just do as Daddy says!"

A lot of corn was grown this time, but Gu Yin still decided to save as many seeds as possible so that he could produce corn starch in large quantities in the future, and he could also make popcorn.

Gu Yin felt helpless as she thought about it. For the first batch of seeds of each new crop, she could only plant as many as the system gave her. If she wanted to plant on a large scale, she had to save a large number of seeds continuously. Only when enough seeds were planted could she use them as raw materials for production.

But Gu Yin didn't mean to complain at all. After all, if there were no seeds provided by the system, she would be helpless...

Compared with corn and peanuts, the benefits of cassava are much more obvious!

Because you can eat as much cassava as you grow! To save cassava seeds, you just need to collect the cassava stalks, which is perfect.

The cassava planted in the spring has grown for more than eight months and part of it has been dug out.

When she had nothing to do, Gu Yin ground the dried cassava into powder and made glutinous rice cakes.

Take out some cassava flour, put it into water and stir it, then filter it with fine cotton cloth to separate it, and finally get white and delicate cassava starch...

At this time, Mr. Meng, who had been immersed in the study of papermaking, suddenly came to the door...
