For dinner, it is appropriate to slurp multi-grain porridge at the dining table.

In the middle of the table was a plate of very salty pickled vegetables, which several people were eating with gusto.

It can be seen that when people are hungry, even such a simple meal can be cooked to taste like a full-scale banquet.

Shi Tou was very satisfied because today's porridge was finally thick.

Yesterday I had clear soup and porridge. I felt full after drinking it, but when I peed, I felt hungry.

King Dongshan could have eaten in his own room, but today he suddenly felt like sitting with everyone.

Also sitting at the table were Magistrate Tang, Bantou Wang, Shi Yi, Shitou, Qing Qiu, and Mu Feng, who of course sat next to the prince.

Seeing Shi Yi eating happily, King Dongshan suspected that the girl's tongue was broken.

Otherwise, how could she eat such hard-to-swallow coarse grains without any pressure?

Although Mu Feng was also eating, his frown showed that he was trying hard.

Qingqiu's food tasted fine. She grew up eating coarse grains, and it was only after she followed the young lady that she started to eat fine food.

King Dongshan picked up a piece of pickled vegetable and looked at it for a long time. What a color!

It really doesn't arouse his appetite at all. What kind of pickled vegetable is this?

As soon as Shi Yi raised her chopsticks, she was frozen by King Dongshan's inquiring gaze.

No, what do you mean? What are you researching if you’re not eating?

Who cares! This guy is more or less seriously ill.

Her chopsticks picked up a piece of pickled vegetable, and King Dongshan's gaze shifted from his own piece of pickled vegetable to the piece of pickled vegetable on Shiyi's chopsticks.

Shi Yi bit off a small piece of pickled vegetable, quickly scooped out a big mouthful of sticky porridge, then chewed it frantically, and finally swallowed it in one gulp.

King Dongshan wrinkled his nose: This way of eating is too vulgar.

He turned his gaze to Qingqiu. Qingqiu was eating silently, taking a bite of pickles and a mouthful of porridge, and seemed to be enjoying the food very much.

King Dongshan suspected that the porridge in his bowl was different from the porridge in Qingqiu's bowl!

Otherwise, why does it taste so bad?

King Dongshan then turned his gaze to Magistrate Tang, who was eating the most voraciously. He had already finished his first bowl and was already eating his second.

My forehead is sweating. Is it really necessary to put so much effort into eating?

Wang Bantou ate most reservedly. He seemed to bury his face in his bowl and didn't dare to raise his head to pick up food.

Of course, the pickles have no other flavor except saltiness, so King Dongshan thinks they are really not worth eating.

In fact, Wang Bantou was guilty and afraid. The county magistrate gave the prince coarse grain porridge and pickles. This was too...

He was afraid that the prince would get angry and overturn the table at any time, which would affect him, a small fish.

But after waiting for so long, the prince didn't move.

He secretly looked up and saw that the prince didn't seem to have eaten a single bite!

Ouch! County Magistrate Tang is a stubborn ass, as timid as a rabbit, but he always does things that even tigers dare not do.

Have you ever seen a prince who drinks mixed-grain porridge and eats pickles?

Eh? The prince actually ate... ate.

Even if the prince is in dire straits, if you bully him now, will he not retaliate against you when he returns to Kyoto? !

Isn't it like a prince crushing an ant to death?

So, what future can he have by following such an ignorant county magistrate!

Oh! What a miserable life.

Shi Yi pushed the bowl away, she was full.

King Dongshan managed to eat only half a bowl, which was barely enough to fill his stomach.

Shi Yi saw that he was having a hard time eating, and she raised her lips and said:

"Although multi-grain porridge may not taste good, it is very nutritious. Eat more! It is good for your body!"

King Dongshan swallowed the rice grains that stung his throat with difficulty and asked, "What's the benefit?"

Shi Yi held up her chin with her hand and said with a smile, "At least it can help with bowel movements and remove the fat from your intestines."

Is it really good to have a bowel movement while eating?

King Dongshan put down his chopsticks. The little appetite he had managed to maintain was ruined by this unrestrained girl.

It didn't affect other people at all, they still ate what they were supposed to eat.

King Dongshan stood up and said, "I'm going to go for a walk. You guys eat."

The others stood up symbolically, and when they saw the prince leave without looking back, they sat down again and continued eating.

Only Mu Feng followed King Dongshan out.

Shi Yi smiled and said, "Your Highness's temper is really much better now." If it were in the past, what she said would be enough to anger him.

Now he didn't even get angry with her, tut tut!

It turns out that life will smooth out your edges and remove all the thorns from your body.

Good!

County Magistrate Tang: "Did the prince have a bad temper before?" I didn't notice.

Shi Yi: "Yeah! Anyway, if you dared to give him pickles and mixed grain porridge before, he would have skinned you alive."

The pickled vegetable strips that County Magistrate Tang picked up fell onto the table halfway...

Bantou Wang: Look, what did he say?

County Magistrate Tang: How about adding some vegetables tomorrow?

Since the disaster victims arrived, the city gates have been almost closed, and there are not many supplies in the city.

There is a vegetable garden behind their county government office. The vegetables in it have not grown yet. County Magistrate Tang would feel a little distressed if they were to eat them now.

Before the disaster victims came, he only had one meat and one vegetable for meals.

Isn’t it that after the disaster victims arrived, the vegetable sellers no longer came!

Because they simply cannot bring supplies into the city, they will be snatched away by the victims on the way, and they may even get injured if they encounter brutal people.

Even lives have been lost.

At the beginning, the yamen runners handled many such cases, but they always ended up in nothing.

Because there were so many victims, the thieves who had stolen things hid in the crowd and could not be found.

Didn’t you see that the grain delivery team was coming? They had to use the yamen runners to draw their swords and threaten others before they could enter the city smoothly?

In order to ensure the safety of life and property of the people in Dan County, County Magistrate Tang had already sent a message to the villages and towns below, asking them to hide their food and property.

If you can avoid entering the city, do not come. Wait until the victims are repatriated by the court before entering the city.

Yamen runners and soldiers confined the victims in an open space near the city gate and did not allow them to go to the countryside of Tan County.

If this situation cannot be controlled, the victims will swarm like locusts and wipe out the small Dan County.

Therefore, this is one of the reasons why County Magistrate Tang was afraid of running out of food.

Fortunately, we have food now and the situation can be stabilized for a short period of time.

But the city was short of supplies. No one came to the city to sell vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and meat...

Therefore, the food on the county government's dining table was like an old lady celebrating the New Year, getting worse day by day.

Today, there was only a plate of pickles.

Magistrate Tang: "These pickles are the last vegetables left in the government office. In two days, even the pickles will be gone."

Band leader Wang asked listlessly: "How long will it take for the court people to arrive?" When will this kind of life end?

County Magistrate Tang picked up the pickles that had fallen on the table, put them into his mouth, and chewed them hard.

Everyone: It seems that what the county magistrate is chewing is not the pickles, but those officials who do not take their Dan County seriously!

Wang Bantou quickly lowered his head, picked up the chopsticks and scraped away the remaining porridge at the bottom of the bowl.

Just eat as much as you can!

No one can say what will happen if we go too far!
