My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Many long-established merchants, however, have a different opinion on this.

They noticed more details and gained a deeper understanding of the grand yet simple and low-key banquet.

Many people think that Ji Yunshuang is more of a show-off. All she does is try to cultivate an image of integrity and honesty so she can squeeze a hefty profit out of them.

They've seen plenty of officials like that.

Each person, preoccupied with their own thoughts, was led by a guard into the back garden.

Ji Yunshuang chose this place not so that everyone could easily enjoy the view, but mainly because the place is spacious and can accommodate more people.

It also makes it easier for her to display the sweet potatoes.

In the garden, all sorts of trellises were erected.

Some were taken directly from Ji Yunshuang's spatial storage, while others were personally modified by Ji Yunshuang over the past few days.

Now, these cooking utensils are emitting a wonderful aroma.

The aroma instantly drew everyone's attention.

Not only ordinary people who had never seen the world, but also noble families who were used to fine food were instantly attracted by the aroma emanating from these strangely shaped cooking utensils.

It smells so good and it's so unique.

They had never smelled such a unique fragrance before.

Moreover, this approach was unusual; they had never heard of it before, nor had they ever seen it.

The aristocratic families who had previously thought the banquet was incongruous and meaningless now had a different opinion.

Everyone was drawn to the strange cooking utensils.

In front of each strange cooking utensil stood one or two people, who were busy working.

As you get closer, not only does the aroma become stronger, but you can also see it more clearly.

Many people discovered that what was placed there was a type of food they had never seen before.

Guo Xiaofei asked, "What are you doing?"

Those following Guo Xiaofei unconsciously pricked up their ears.

At that moment, a man standing in front of a teppanyaki grill stall, grilling sweet potato skins, said, "This is grilling sweet potato skins."

Guo Xiaofei asked, "What is sweet potato skin?"

The man explained, "Sweet potato skin is something extracted from wild yams that adults have discovered. It's especially delicious and nutritious."

As they were talking, the sweet potato peel in the man's hand was already roasted. He skewered it with a bamboo stick and handed it to Guo Xiaofei, saying, "Please try it, young master."

Guo Xiaofei was dumbfounded when he saw the bamboo skewer the man handed him.

Are we just going to let him eat like this?

How do you eat it with just a bamboo skewer?

The man seemed to sense his question and took the initiative to explain the way of eating, then added, "As soon as our superiors arrived in Jingyang City, they threw themselves into the fight against the epidemic without sleep. These days, our superiors haven't had a full night's sleep, and their eyes are bloodshot from exhaustion."

Today's banquet was prepared hastily, and we didn't have enough tableware, so the banquet was rather rough, which is truly unfair to everyone. I apologize to everyone and ask for your understanding regarding my family's situation.

His words brought tears to many people's eyes again. They all sighed, saying how hard Lord Ji had worked and how difficult his life had been.

Some people said that they were the ones who had caused trouble for Lord Ji, while others looked at Guo Xiaofei with reproachful eyes.

The gist of it was that he couldn't possibly blame Lord Ji; he was utterly heartless.

A rare feeling of guilt arose in Guo Xiaofei's heart.

He felt a strange sense of regret for not immediately accepting the food offered by the man. It made it seem as if he were criticizing Lord Ji, as if he felt the banquet he had prepared was not good enough.

He quickly explained that he absolutely did not mean anything by it; he had just never seen this kind of food before and did not know how to eat it.

After explaining, he was stunned.

Why would he have such a strange mentality?

The man roasting sweet potato noodles handed him the roasted noodles understandingly, saying, "Young master, you enjoyed your meal. These sweet potato noodles were delicious."

Guo Xiaofei took the string of sweet potato peels skewered with two bamboo sticks, and the aroma hit him right in the head.

His throat was drooling profusely. At that moment, he suddenly forgot why he had such strange thoughts.

He just wanted to taste it first, this delicious food that made his mouth water.

The roasted sweet potato noodles were chewy and soft, sprinkled with all sorts of spices. With just one bite, Guo Xiaofei felt like he was ascending to heaven.

He had never eaten anything so delicious.

Moreover, each subsequent bite offers a new flavor.

The sweet potato noodles were filled with various fragrant side dishes. He unconsciously became very careful, afraid that he might accidentally spill the side dishes and spices inside.

Those watching him eat couldn't help but swallow hard.

But at this moment, the sweet potato skin in the man's hand was not yet ready to be roasted, so everyone could only watch Guo Xiaofei eat it.

But the aroma kept wafting out from the barbecue grill.

Amidst everyone's envious and salivating gazes, Guo Xiaofei finished the sweet potato noodles in his hand.

After finishing his meal, he licked his lips with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

Given his upbringing, he shouldn't have made such a move.

With the Guo family's wealth, he had never lacked food or drink. But at this moment, he felt as if the previous twenty-odd years of his life had been wasted.

He had no idea that there was something in this world that could taste so good.

Like Guo Xiaofei, many people felt that a new world had opened up for them.

At this moment, in the garden of the Prince's Mansion, all the stalls selling hot and sour noodles, roasted sweet potatoes, fried sweet potato cakes, steamed sweet potato glutinous rice cakes, candied sweet potatoes, fried sweet potato fries, sweet potato pancakes, and other sweet potato dishes were crowded with people.

Everyone was amazed by each and every one of them!

They can stroll around the various stalls like they're shopping, and then choose the food they want to try.

This feeling is both enjoyable and fun.

Moreover, it was more comfortable than the banquets I had attended before, without any sense of restraint.

Those who previously thought Ji Yunshuang lacked knowledge and that her banquet was inappropriate have now quietly retracted their previous comments.

This banquet was much more interesting than any they had attended before.

Everyone exclaimed in admiration, "Lord Ji is truly a genius. How did she come up with this idea?"

However, more than how Ji Yunshuang came up with such a method to hold the banquet, they were curious about how she discovered this wild potato.

Those merchants who were initially somewhat reluctant, thinking that Ji Yunshuang was no different from ordinary corrupt officials, were now very eager to see Ji Yunshuang.

They all saw a business opportunity in it.

If they could get the seed from Ji Yunshuang, their entire family would be rich!

He listened to the explanations from the men making food at each stall.

They now know that these foods are made from the wild potatoes that Ji Yunshuang discovered.

As for why so many foods look different, it's simply because they are prepared in different ways.
