After a while, a man who was about the same age as Zhou Huaiming walked out.

The man was dressed in a black brocade robe with silver trimmings. He looked exceptionally tall and steady despite his young age.

Unfortunately, his handsome face, which seemed to have been cut by a knife, looked particularly cold. It gave people the feeling of an iceberg, making them not want to get close to him.

Seeing that Manager Liu was more respectful toward him than toward Zhou Huaiming, Zhou Ying immediately had an answer in her heart.

This person was most likely the Third Prince, who was in charge of the Dongyang Navy.

She just didn’t know why he had suddenly come to visit.

She quickly stopped the barking Er Zhuang and said, “Please come in.”

After sensing her gaze, Zhou Huaiming asked in surprise, “Did you know who he is?”

“I guessed,” Zhou Ying said, nodding.

However, she was too embarrassed to greet him because they didn’t take the initiative to introduce him. Instead, she bowed according to her original owner’s memory and welcomed them into the house.

After they sat down, Zhou Huaiming asked curiously, “Sister, can you guess who he is?”

The Third Prince frowned and glanced at him, but he still looked at Zhou Ying curiously.

To be honest, he really didn’t expect that Zhou Ying, who had lived in Beijing with him for many years, wouldn’t recognize him.

“This commoner greets the Third Prince.” Zhou Ying stepped forward and bowed.

“Rise; sorry for the intrusion today.” The Third Prince said.

“Thank you. Please wait a moment; I will go and make tea.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around to leave.

Zhou Huaiming stopped her. “Wait a minute. You can bring the mutton over as well. We’ll have a hot pot for lunch. Please prepare a table for eight people.”

Zhou Ying took the lamb thoughtfully and said, “Alright, please wait a moment.”

After that, she took the mutton to the kitchen and made them a pot of Longjing tea. She brought in nine teacups and poured them one cup each. “Help yourselves. I’ll go to the kitchen to prepare the food.”

Not long after she left, Gu Chengrui returned with a carriage. At the same time, he brought along County Magistrate Sun, Tian Jingzhong, the village chief, and the patriarch.

Gu Chengrui was carrying a copper pot. After sending them into the house, he handed the copper pot to Zhou Ying and said, “Babe, I’m afraid you won’t be able to make it to the table today. Save some food for yourself.”

Zhou Ying nodded and asked, “Did that person come over because of the white potato?”

“I’m 80% sure. I’m afraid we’ll have to collect a portion of the sweet potatoes from the village and transport them to the south.”

“I see. There’s boiling water in the pot. You can entertain them by yourself.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she prepared the hot pot in the kitchen.

It was far too difficult to cut the meat with a knife, so Zhou Ying took it into her interspace and froze it. Then, she cut it with an automatic knife cutter, but she tried to make it as thick as possible.

The base of the hot pot was a spicy and sour soup.

The side dishes were mainly the vegetables that existed in the village, such as white radish, cabbage, bok choy, lettuce, pumpkin, and sweet potato.

Finally, she took some extra tofu, vermicelli, agarwood, and taro.

After they were ready, she started the fire. Gu Chengrui walked over and asked, “Do you need any help?”

“Are they done with talking?” Zhou Ying raised her head and asked.

“Yup.” Gu Chengrui nodded and continued, “According to the number of people in the village, every strong laborer will keep 500 pounds of sweet potatoes, and each child will have 300 pounds, and the rest will be transported to the south.”

“County Magistrate Kong didn’t say anything, but there are many victims elsewhere.”

“The Third Prince said a batch of rice would be shipped here soon. They will be ground into powder together with sweet potato vines and various dried vegetables..”
