Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 114 Offering Potatoes

After Gu Xiaoshu got married, Gu Yao gave her a few days off so that she could spend time with her husband. If she could get pregnant, then Gu Xiaoshu would have a complete family.

Su Gu Xiaoshu has indeed been in high spirits these days. After all, Wei Sanlang is really good and takes good care of her.

What's more, because Wei Sanlang is good-looking, she is very proud of him.

Gu Yao usually issued orders and County Magistrate Qian would do his best to help, so that Gu Yao could sometimes have some time to rest.

Although Gu Yao wanted to vigorously develop Shicheng, she couldn't do it without food. She thought she would wait until the potatoes she planted were harvested before doing it.

So her most important thing now is to ask her mother to take good care of the potatoes she planted and see how much they can yield.

As the end of the year approached, it was very cold and snowy, and the snow was so heavy that many poor families' houses collapsed.

Gu Yao asked the government to take care of them, and even sent people from the Sun Gate to help them repair their house.

This also won the gratitude of many ordinary people. After all, they really lived a good life with such an adult.

However, because Gu Yao made the decision quickly, the people had a good winter.

Gu Yao also organized ordinary people to clear the snow on the roads or from some poor families, but she gave them money so that these people would have some money to celebrate the New Year.

Because of this action, Gu Yao was recognized by many people. She even organized some merchants in Shicheng to donate some money to help lonely elderly people or some orphaned children.

Although these wealthy businessmen were somewhat reluctant, they had to bow their heads under the eaves.

After all, Gu Yao was an official, and a Tongpan, and he even had the approval of the prefect, so these wealthy businessmen had no choice but to accept it.

Fortunately, Gu Yao gave plaques to the first few people, saying "a family that has accumulated good deeds", which also gave these wealthy businessmen some glory. After all, this was a reward from the Tongpan.

Some wealthy businessmen still looked far ahead and hung the plaque high at their gate.

It is to let the people know that not many of these businessmen are cunning and deceitful, some of them are kind.

The sons of these wealthy businessmen were also looked up to because of this plaque, and even some good families came to look at them when they were engaged.

They thought that paying money to the Tongpan was not a bad thing.

Gu Yao was very satisfied that the wealthy businessmen in Shicheng were willing to work with her to do good things for the people.

At least she had firmly established her foothold in Shicheng, and no one was disobedient to her.

The Gu family also had a good year. After all, the family was harmonious, and her children were even one year older. She had seven daughters, so she could be said to be very satisfied.

Mother Gu and the others were also satisfied. They looked at Father Gu and smiled, "I didn't expect our Gu family to have such a good thing. In the future, our Gu family will definitely become a big family."

Father Gu knew what Mother Gu was thinking, after all, they had been in the capital for so many years.

Everyone knows what other big families are like. Their family is doing well now. They have a smart daughter and seven grandchildren. The Gu family is already far ahead of others.

"Head of the family, I just hope that A Yao can be fine. She is now an official and there are risks involved. Moreover, I sometimes have to go to the countryside. I will bring my two younger brothers to the temple to pray for A Yao. I also hope that our A Yao can live a long life."

In Gu's father's heart, nothing is important, his daughter is the most important.

After all, only with a daughter can their Gu family have a future. If he didn't have a daughter, how could he live such a good life.

Gu's mother had the same idea when she was alive. After the beginning of the new year, she found that the potatoes she grew were growing better and better. They would be mature in April and May, which made her happy just thinking about it.

However, she asked her tenants to loosen the soil, weed, water and fertilize her potatoes every day so that they would grow better and better.

Potatoes are resistant to the sun and can grow successfully even without watering. This is just to be on the safe side.

By April and May, we received feedback from the tenants that the potatoes had matured.

She immediately put down everything and came to the table with Gu's mother.

Seeing the baskets of potatoes being harvested, Mother Gu was very happy. She looked at Gu Yao excitedly and said, "Ayao, the yield is really high. If everyone in Shicheng grows potatoes, then they won't go hungry so easily."

Gu's mother also knew that although potatoes could not replace rice and flour, they could at least fill the stomach, and in this way, they could also provide a way for the common people to survive.

She had experienced hunger before, so she valued the food even more.

She looked at Gu with eyes full of anticipation. In her heart, her daughter was truly a deity who could actually find this kind of food to fill her stomach.

"Of course, and I also want to make these potatoes into potato flour, so that it will be like noodles. But I want to give these potatoes to the prefect first, so that it can also give our Gu family more confidence."

Gu Yao knew that if these potatoes were sent up, it would be a huge achievement, but it would all depend on how the prefect would handle it.

Gu's mother agreed with Gu Yao's approach. After all, Gu Yao was an official and she must know how officials act.

Afterwards, Gu Yao had people put all the potatoes into bags and drag them to the prefect's residence.

The prefect met Gu Yao and was surprised to hear her words: "Ayao, are you sure that cooking potatoes can fill people's stomachs?"

"I'm sure. This yield is already very high. I only bought a few potato seeds at the beginning, but I didn't expect to have more than a thousand kilograms of potatoes now. It's really shocking."

The prefect was very shocked. It was the first time she heard the name of potato.

But looking at this round thing, it looks quite cute, and then said: "In this case, how do we eat this potato? We can't just eat it raw, right?"

Gu Yao smiled and said, "I'd like to trouble you to borrow the kitchen from your house. You will know when the time comes."

The prefect naturally had no objection to her words. After all, she also wanted to know whether this potato could give her a way to heaven.

After a while, a fragrant smell came from not far away, and then Gu Yao came over with some servants. The servants were holding potato dishes and even hot pot.

The prefect almost drooled when looking at the food because it smelled so good.

"I didn't expect that potatoes could be used to make such a delicious dish. It must be delicious."

"You will know if you try it. I believe I will not disappoint you."

Zhizhou enjoyed the meal very much. She felt that it was the best food she had ever eaten, and she felt very full after eating it.
