The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

After persuading the people to leave, the Gu family members went about their business.

Gu Huaiyi had just returned to his small courtyard with his wife and daughter when a servant came to report that Lord Shen was visiting.

"Master Shen? Which Master Shen?" Gu Huaiyi asked doubtfully. He didn't know any Master Shen in the capital...

The servant looked at Gu Yin, and Gu Yin asked him to leave and greet the guests first, then she looked at her father guiltily.

"Hehe..." Gu Yin laughed awkwardly, "Dad, that's the doctor from the Ministry of Works, Lord Shen Cong."

The familiar feeling came again. Gu Huaiyi felt something was wrong and said with a stiff upper lip, "Tell me, what did you do again?"

"Dad, come and have some tea!" Gu Yin picked up a cup of tea and handed it to her father.

Gu Huaiyi put the teacup back on the table, glanced at her, and said unhappily, "It's no use trying to please me! Have you forgotten what your father told you before we returned to Beijing?"

"How dare I forget what Dad said! You said that the capital city is full of good and bad people, and told me to be quiet and not get into trouble." Gu Yin said righteously, and then changed the subject, "But Dad, I didn't get into trouble!"

"Why did the doctor from the Ministry of Industry come to see you?"

"Well, he started a business with the emperor, and he was sent by the emperor to help."

"What?" Gu Huaiyi suddenly jumped up from his seat, "You actually went to the palace?"

"What are you talking about? Dad, that's not nice to hear." Gu Yin was unhappy. "Look at how good the emperor's vision is. My daughter just mentioned it casually, but he saw the prospects of this business and insisted on investing!"

"You!" Gu Huaiyi sat back in his chair, pointed at Gu Yin with his finger, and said unhappily, "Dad is not forbidding you to make trouble, but if you make trouble, it will be related to the emperor and the court. What if you get into trouble one day?"

Gu Yin comforted him, "Oh, Dad, don't think too much. Your daughter knows her limits and won't get into trouble. Besides, you're back in Beijing now, so I'll come to you to discuss anything I encounter. How about that?"

Gu Huaiyi snorted coldly, "This won't happen again!"

Although this statement has no binding force, it still needs to be said.

"I'll listen to you, Dad." Gu Yin replied with a smile, "I'll definitely tell you next time I do something!"

Gu Huaiyi was coaxed into asking, "What kind of business are you planning to do with the emperor?"

"Dad, Lord Shen is..." waiting.

Before Gu Yin finished speaking, the servant came back and handed her a letter, "Fourth Miss, your letter!"

Then he placed a small cloth bag on the table, "This came with the letter."

Gu Yin took it and saw that it was from Nanshui County. Thinking of what she had just promised her father, the corners of her mouth twitched.

"What's wrong?" Gu Huaiyi didn't miss his daughter's strange expression. "Did you get into trouble?"

Gu Yin could guess what the content of the letter was without even reading it, so she simply handed it to her father, "Read it for yourself!"

Gu Huaiyi looked at his daughter suspiciously. Why was she so proactive this time? Did he wrongly accuse her?

His hands kept moving as he opened the letter and read ten lines at a glance.

"This, this..." Gu Huaiyi stuttered and was unable to speak.

Gu Yin blinked her innocent eyes and said, "Dad, you can't blame me. I told you the first time this time."

Gu Huaiyi's mind was full of the contents of the letter at this time. He ignored his daughter's mischief. He inadvertently glanced at the cloth bag on the table, opened it quickly, and exclaimed, "Candy!"

"The letter says that one acre of sugarcane can produce nearly 300 kilograms of this kind of sugar? Is that true?"

Gu Yin walked forward and took a look at the sugar. It was reddish brown sugar and the quality was pretty good. "Of course it's real. Nanshui County has long sunshine hours and the sugar content of sugarcane is high. As long as the extraction method is correct, it is reasonable to boil 300 kilograms of brown sugar from one acre of sugarcane."

"Unfortunately, the process of extracting white sugar is too demanding. Ye Jingyu only sent brown sugar, which means that the method of extracting white sugar has not yet been studied clearly."

Before Gu Huaiyi recovered from the brown sugar production, he heard about white sugar again, "Do you know how to make white sugar?"

"I know a little bit." Gu Yin grinned. "The extraction method of the first half of white sugar is the same as that of brown sugar. Compared with brown sugar, white sugar is just purer and has fewer impurities. In the production process, we just need to find a way to remove the impurities in the sugar juice."

“Since we know how to remove impurities, why can’t we make white sugar?”

"This is the gap between theory and practice..." Making white sugar is not so easy, and Gu Yin does not expect Ye Jingyu and the others to figure it out in a short period of time. The main issue at hand is how to deal with the sugar.

"Dad, are we going to sell this candy ourselves?" Gu Yin asked tentatively.

Gu Huaiyi glared at his daughter and said, "The man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure! Sugar is an important military supply. How can you handle it alone?"

"What should we do then?" Gu Yin asked knowingly.

"You can handle it yourself!" Gu Huaiyi threw down the letter and left. He could no longer control this girl. She caused deadly things every day. Who else could protect her except the royal family?

"Dad, you said this yourself, didn't you?" Gu Yin smiled secretly as she watched her father leave, and deliberately shouted loudly, "Don't say that your daughter didn't report it to you in advance in the future."

Gu Huaiyi's pace of departure suddenly quickened.

Just as Gu Huaiyi said, sugar is an important military material. With such a high output of sugar, she and Ye Jingyu's background alone cannot support this business.

They still have to seek support from the emperor in this matter, but it shouldn't be too much to let the Gu family have a share of the candy they worked so hard to make, right?

Thinking of her second brother's performance after the provincial examination, Gu Yin felt that she could have a chat with him.

Gu Yin walked towards the main hall while thinking.

The construction of the club is in full swing. Although some problems are inevitable along the way, they have all been solved one by one.

"The main materials have been delivered. At the current rate, the clubhouse will be completed in February next year." Shen Cong has been working on the construction of the clubhouse for nearly two months and now knows everything about the clubhouse.

Gu Yin's eyes curved, "That's great! My people are already in training, and they will definitely be trained by then."

When they first started recruiting people, all the girls and boys were unwilling to give massages to customers. But when they heard that they would receive not only a monthly salary of five taels of silver but also a bonus, they all rushed to sign up, fearing that they would not be able to get a spot.

In order to train excellent technicians, Gu Yin spent a lot of money to invite famous doctors to teach them how to recognize acupoints.

In addition, other staff of the club are also being interviewed and trained.

Considering the progress in recent days, Gu Yin is full of anticipation for the opening of the club...
