Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 13 Recipe Book
Thinking about the scene of not having enough to eat and working so hard, I frowned and thought: The time for the court's conscription is uncertain, and it depends entirely on the government's arrangements. There has been no corvee collection this year, and maybe it will start in a month or two during the slack season. Corvene.

Thinking about the scene of serving in the army, it's not that Gu Yu can't bear the hardship. In fact, the job is not something ordinary people do.

The yamen servants will not reduce their burden just because she is a woman. People who serve in the corvee are required to work as hard as they can until they shed a layer of skin.

Those who are in good health are fine, but those who are in poor health leave a lot of sequelae like Gu Wu.

Gu Yu has a strong desire in his heart, and that is to make money. She wanted to earn enough money and accumulate connections through her own efforts, so that she would no longer be oppressed by the government and would not be forced to do corvee labor.

She learned that only ordinary farm families like hers were forced to do corvee service, while big families in the county and town still used money to hire people to serve on behalf of their family members.

Yang looked at Gu Yu's frown and asked with concern: "Yu'er, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Yu replied: "I'm thinking about the corvee." She told Yang that she was worried that the corvee might start in two months.

Yang sighed and said, "Yes, it happens once every year, and I can't escape this year."

At night, Gu Yu lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. For two consecutive days, she went to weed the fields with her parents, and at night she went into the room chosen by the secrets. She held a pen in her hand and wrote and drew on paper.

I was thinking about my family's financial situation. She knew that there was still thirty-eight taels of silver left from selling the wild boar, and in the secret realm, there were gold, silver, jewelry and various precious medicinal materials, which were all resources that could be used to make money.

She even imagined using the money to buy a small yard in the county or town and open a small shop selling food or delicacies.

But her parents knew her so well that they suddenly took out gold and silver jewelry and couldn't tell the origin. And Gu Wu and Yang wouldn't trust her to go out alone, and she wouldn't trust them to leave the two elderly people at home.

After thinking about it, he figured out how to get money, buy a shop with a courtyard in the county or town, and leave the village with Gu Wu and his wife.

She can take care of them while running her business.

When her business grows and she has enough money, if Gu Wu and his wife want to come back, they can come back.

As for whether Gu Wu and his wife are willing to leave with her, Shanren has her own plan. She will definitely make them leave with her willingly.

………………

Last night, we agreed to go weeding in the soybean fields on the mountain today. Gu Yu woke up in the morning and saw the heavy rain outside the window. He couldn't help but be confused: "It was sunny yesterday, why is it raining so heavily today."

Gu Wu also got up early and took a hoe to the backyard to dig a ditch to divert water to divert rainwater and prevent heavy rain from causing water to enter the house. He responded to Gu Yu: "We will see if the rain will lessen later. If it continues It’s so big that we can’t go to the fields today.”

When it rains heavily, let alone working in the mountains and fields, it’s hard to get out. If it keeps raining, I will have to stay at home today.

Yang brought a basin of water and urged Gu Yu to wash his face: "Yu'er, come here and wash your face first."

After Gu Yu finished washing, she looked at the rainwater dripping under the eaves, feeling a little helpless. After breakfast, because it was located in the mountains, the weather was a bit cold. Yang lit the stove, and the family of three sat around the room and chatted from time to time.

Gu Wu dozed off, while Yang was busy embroidering. Gu Yu felt bored and asked Yang to teach her how to sew clothes.

Unfortunately, she didn't seem to be good at this. No matter how Yang taught her, she couldn't master the stitching method. The stitches she sewed were crooked like maggots, and she even pricked herself several times.

Ms. Yang smiled and joked: "You can't even hold a needle well. In the future, you must find a husband who can use needles. Otherwise, how will you and your wife live together?"

Gu Yu: "..." I never thought about marrying a husband!

Her mother has a lot to worry about. She is only eighteen years old now, and her body bones are not fully grown. How can she marry a husband?

He looked at the needle hole on his finger and said: "I won't sew anymore, I'm going to read a book."

I went back to my room and rummaged through the cabinets, and pulled out a book from the bookcase that had been dusted for a long time. I rushed to the main room excitedly and said, "When I was studying in the town, my classmates and I went to the library to read and bought a few miscellaneous books. I just flipped through the books. When I was there, I discovered that one of the books I bought actually recorded many food recipes."

Gu Wu: "..."

Yang: "..."

The couple was a little confused. They had never heard of their daughter buying a book, and it was about food?

Gu Wu was even more confused: "When did you buy the book? Why didn't I know?"

There are not many literate people. Except for the village chief who knows a few words in eight villages in ten miles, there is not necessarily a single scholar in the whole village.

When Gu Yu was six years old, Gu Wu sent her to the town where she studied at Master Han's private school for eight years. Once, the private school ended early and Gu Wu failed to pick her up in time, so she went to the bookstore with her classmates to buy some books.

Last night, I entered the secret realm and looked through the books of my past life, and sorted out many food recipes from my past life. Let Zero One make a paper book exactly like this dynasty and write all the recipes on it.

Today, she had a purpose for taking out this book. Gu Yu explained to Gu Wu: "It was that time Master Han sent us home because of something urgent. You didn't come to pick me up, so I went to the bookstore with my classmates to wait for you. That time.”

After hearing this, Gu Wu finally recalled the time when he went to the private school to find his daughter because Master Han left school early, and he almost went crazy with worry.

Because I was too worried about my daughter being lost, when I found my daughter, I only heard that she had sold some books, but I didn’t ask about the specific books she bought.

Yang asked curiously: "What recipes are written in the books?"

Gu Yu opened the book, pointed to a few dishes and said: "Braised beef tendon, the main ingredient is beef tendon meat; and braised pig trotters, requiring star anise, bay leaves, grass fruit..."

She listed the recipes and methods of more than 50 dishes one by one, including braised eggs, braised peanuts, braised rice with potatoes and sausages, braised beef with tomatoes, braised pork ribs, spicy grilled fish, spicy chicken, cold skin, cold noodles, pickled noodles, etc. Bamboo shoots and so on.

Gu Wu and Yang were speechless for a moment after hearing this. They didn't expect that this book actually recorded the making of various delicious recipes.

The couple looked at each other and asked: "Is it the real formula?"

Gu Yu nodded cautiously and said: "This book is indeed written very clearly. The recipes and methods of each dish are clearly recorded. Although I don't know whether it is true or false, my mother can try it once."

Yang immediately wanted to go to the kitchen and try cooking, but Gu Wu asked, "Did anyone see it when you bought this book?"

Gu Yu gently rubbed the book with her fingers and replied: "Yes! There were several classmates around me at the time. The shopkeeper just said it was a miscellaneous book, so I bought it back."

After hearing this, Gu Wu was silent for a moment and said: "I think this is a bit fantasy! How can such an important thing be sold?"

He was thinking that maybe it was because of the turmoil in the court a few years ago that many high-ranking officials had been dismissed. This book might very well be a precious thing left to future generations by those big bosses through special means. Bought back by my daughter.
