What? Grain and potato vermicelli? Liu Feng was stunned by Xiao Wan's words.

"Although the letters Mingyuan brought me were all about safety, I could also see that the border was short of food, and waiting for relief from the imperial court might be slow, so I sent Zhang Liang and his men to various places to collect some food and transport it back."

"There's about 50,000 kilograms of grain, but it's not top-quality rice. It's all second-rate, just a little less delicious."

"You know what my workshop does. Besides supplying daily buyers, I store the rest of the potato vermicelli in the warehouse. Potato vermicelli is dry and can be stored for more than half a year without any problems. It is also very filling."

"It's perfect for troops stationed at the border. It's soft and sticky, and I believe everyone loves it. You can stew a pot of it in winter and skip the main course."

"The stewing method is also very simple. I've written down the recipe. You can take it with you. These potato vermicelli noodles weigh about 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms. They should be enough to last for a month or so."

"You will take some time to rest tomorrow, and they will pack up their things and find a grain truck. You can take your things back first. When the potatoes here are ripe, I will send them to you."

"You've eaten potatoes and vermicelli before, they're very filling. Eat them first. I'll collect the food and send more later. Combined with the relief from the imperial court, we shouldn't be running out of food."

Xiao Wan finished telling the whole story in one breath and explained it to Liu Feng in detail.

Liu Feng was stunned by what he heard. He must have heard it right. The county lady actually prepared food for the soldiers at the border?

She was just a county lady from a peasant family. Even if she made a lot of money by running a workshop and a hot pot restaurant, it was impossible for her to selflessly contribute so much food.

But she said and did it clearly, and Liu Feng just felt a little sour in his nose.

Yes, they are actually very short of food. The Ministry of Revenue of the imperial court said that they are short of money now and they don’t have much money. Even with the Second Prince’s efforts to mediate, the amount of food needed at the border is indeed not a small amount.

Even though the general gave the county lady a gift, it came from his own private treasury.

They destroyed many strongholds and exchanged all the items they obtained for money to buy food, but even so, it was still not enough.

Not only them, but the General Zhenxi was also short of food, and the General Zhenxi was also the future father-in-law of the second prince.

They also tried to collect grain from the wealthy, but how could those rich families be willing to give them grain? They said nice things, but in fact they were just crying poor to them.

The general could not demand food by force, otherwise he would become a soldier. Only a few rich families still had conscience and were willing to provide food, but their willingness was limited.

Now, hearing that the county lady, a weak woman, was actually thinking about the soldiers at the border, Liu Feng, a seven-foot-tall man, couldn't help but be shocked.

This food was enough to sustain them for more than a month. Liu Feng could not refuse and could only bury his gratitude deep in his heart.

At the same time, he was also very ashamed of his previous suspicion that Xiao Wan was collaborating with the enemy. How could such a righteous woman collaborate with a foreign country? He was too radical and one-sided.

"County Lady, I..." Liu Feng took a deep breath, "On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers guarding the border, I thank you for your generosity."

After saying this, he knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and bowed solemnly. Xiao Wan was so panicked that she quickly asked Zhang Liang to help her up.

"This is my responsibility and obligation as a citizen of the Great Yuan Dynasty and a county lord. I have been blessed by the Emperor and protected by the soldiers at the border, allowing me to live a peaceful life with my family and enjoy the joy of family. Now that I have the ability, how can I not do my part?"

"If I still have the energy, I will continue to deliver food. Thank you for fighting to protect our country. You have worked hard." Xiao Wan was deeply touched when she saw Liu Feng saluting her.

Influenced by modern society in my previous life, I naturally have deep feelings for soldiers and respect them very much.

They have paid so much to protect the country and the people, even at the cost of their lives, and dedicated their pure love to the country and the people.

Also in this fictional era, Xiao Wan also has great respect for the soldiers who defend their country.

They fought bravely but were not able to eat enough. If she had the ability now, she would definitely not just stand by and watch.

He had previously earned hundreds of thousands of taels in dividends from making ice from saltpeter, and earned hundreds of thousands more taels by selling the recipe to Duan Hongyi. Later, when he asked Chen Xin to go south, he sold the ice-making recipe to several places.

Each of them was sold for more than 100,000 taels, plus half of the city's businessmen now make a fortune, so it is no exaggeration to say that he makes a fortune every day.

How could she just stand by and watch when she was making so much money? What's more, Zhao Mingyuan was also stationed at the border, and everything she did had his reasons.

After hearing what Xiao Wan said, Liu Feng, a grown man, actually had red eyes.

Many people would say what the county lady said, but when it comes to actually doing practical things, how many people can actually meet her?
