The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

He had finished reading "The Monkey King" and quickly connected the four characters in the portrait with the protagonists in the story.

On a cloud, the one on the far left, with a pig face, a big belly and a rake in his hand, must be the lazy Zhu Bajie; then there is Sha Wujing, with a string of big beads around his neck and a scepter on his head, and a full beard on his face; then there is Tang Monk, wearing a red cassock, a Pilu hat, and riding a white dragon horse; on the far right, the Monkey King, wearing yellow clothes and carrying a golden hoop, is standing on one leg, pointing forward, as if he is about to jump forward. The eyes of the four are all looking forward, and Sun Wukong's eyes are shining with golden light...

There are inscriptions on both sides: "Go to heaven and earth to subdue demons and eliminate monsters" Well... Gu Yin asked her father to help write the words, after all, she was just getting started in calligraphy.

The whole painting is brightly colored, the characters are realistic and natural, the movements are clearly visible, and even the hairs on the Monkey King's face are clearly visible. Manager Zhao has never seen such a vivid painting before. The impact is obvious, and he is delighted when he comes to his senses. If the image of "The Monkey King" was still very abstract before, now the image of the character is suddenly full. He believes that this painting alone can attract everyone's attention.

Manager Zhao wanted to hang the painting up immediately for the public to appreciate, but he had to be patient and frame the portrait. Such a good work could not be damaged in the slightest, so that it could be used as a treasure of the store in the future.

In just three days, "The Monkey King" had spread throughout Ning County. People in the streets and alleys were talking about the four characters in the painting. Those who had never seen the painting flocked to the Hanmofang to feast their eyes.

"This, this, this is the Monkey King? He really has the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils."

"So this is what Zhu Bajie looks like. Look at his two big ears. They are really as big as fans. Hahahaha."

"Big belly, big belly, Zhu Bajie, big belly." A little boy pointed at the portrait of Zhu Bajie and shouted.

The people around laughed and started discussing it with the people next to them.

Three days later, the first volume of "The Monkey King" was officially launched by Hanmofang. The young masters and young ladies from various families who had heard the good news in advance arranged for their maids and servants to rush out to buy it. They all wanted to see if the Monkey King was really as powerful as others said, that he could go to heaven and earth and do everything.

In just one hour, the more than 100 books prepared by Hanmofang were sold out, and even those who came later could not get any. In the end, the following scene appeared in front of the door: those who got the books were beaming with joy, while those who came late were dejected, fearing that they would be blamed by their masters and mistresses when they returned.

"Boss, are you hiring someone to copy? I've reserved the next copy!" A young man saw that he was late and shouted to the manager. Manager Zhao heard that someone had actually reserved the copy, so he immediately agreed because he thought it was unreasonable to refuse the money that was delivered to his door.

Seeing this, other people paid deposits to reserve the place. Manager Zhao was so happy that he collected deposits until his hands were full.

But what is Gu Yin doing?

When "The Monkey King" went on sale, Gu Yin was not interested. Whether it sold well or not, the result would be the same if she participated.

The oven she customized was already ready, and Gu Yin was preparing to roast duck in the backyard of the county government office. She asked the cook Aunt Xie to clean the duck, and then Gu Yin took out the spices she had prepared in advance and put them into the duck's belly to spread evenly. There were no steel needles here, so Gu Yin cut a bamboo stick and sealed the opening like sewing clothes.

The next step is the most critical step in making roast duck, blowing air, which can separate the duck skin and meat, so that the roast duck can achieve crispy skin, fragrant meat and uniform color. Then the skin is scalded with boiling water, poured with crispy water, air-dried, and finally put into the oven with charcoal fire.

As time goes by, the aroma of roast duck overflows from the oven.

"It smells so good~" Pearl sniffed the aroma that made her mouth water.

"Yes, yes, the fragrance is incomparable to the roast duck bought outside~" Aunt Qian nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the three boys in the family had all gone to school, leaving only Gu Yin, Xue, their maid, and Aunt Qian. Xue sat aside and watched Gu Yin and the others busying themselves with a smile, while the others gathered around the oven, looking here and there.

Gu Yin opened the light screen and looked at the time. After more than half an hour, he took out the roast duck. He pulled off the bamboo skewers of the duck, and suddenly, a fragrance mixed with spices and meat spread out, causing several people to swallow their saliva.

Gu Yin first cut off a piece, put it in her mouth and took a bite. The crispy duck skin mixed with the fragrance exploded in her mouth. It was oily but not greasy, and the saltiness was moderate.

It worked!

I quickly cut the duck into pieces and gave them to a few people to try:

"How does it taste?"

"Delicious, delicious." Pearl's vague voice came, and she answered while wolfing down the food. It was so delicious. She had never eaten such a crispy roast duck and she couldn't stop at all.

"Mom, do you think I can open a restaurant?" Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal, Gu Yin sought Xue's opinion.

"Yes, the taste of this roast duck is indeed unique in the Daji Dynasty." Xue nodded without hesitation. She had eaten and seen a lot of delicious food in the capital, but she had never seen a duck cooked so deliciously.

"If you trust mother, how about leaving this matter to mother?" Xue touched Gu Yin's head. She had been in Ning County for a while, and it was not a good thing to sit idle all the time. Since her daughter had the idea of ​​opening a restaurant, she might as well help and worry about it.

Gu Music needs someone to help take care of it, and he can just sit back and do nothing.

"Okay, but I have to screen the chef as well." Gu Yin shook Xue's hand and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Xue was helpless. She had never expected her daughter to be so capable. She also learned about the thresher from her husband. She couldn't believe that her daughter had invented such a farm tool. She was shocked for a long time.

Speaking of threshers, it has been a while since the matter was reported to the court. Ning County is about 300 miles away from the capital, in the north of the capital, and can be reached in two days by horseback. I don't know why there has been no news from the court after such a long time.

Otherwise, why do people say that things can't stand being talked about?

The next day, a group of uninvited guests came to the county government office.

"Eunuch Yu, how are you~" Gu Huaiyi bowed to the white-faced, beardless man who was leading the group.

"Master Gu, congratulations, you have given birth to a wonderful daughter." Eunuch Yu smiled. "Please ask Master Gu to bring out Miss Ling. The Emperor has sent me here to bring her a reward."

Gu Huaiyi hurriedly sent someone to the manor to call his daughter back. That's right, after leaving the restaurant business to Xue, Gu Yin ran to the manor again.

By the time Gu Yin returned to the county government office and changed her clothes, nearly an hour had passed.

Eunuch Yu did not delay and quickly signaled Gu Yin to prepare to receive the reward.
