The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

When Ying Ji returned to her bedroom, she opened the letter. As expected, it was a letter from home instructing her to sell grain to the state of Han. She opened the envelope, separated it from the inside, and found the real letter inside.

Upon seeing Zhang Liang's reply, Ying Ji became somewhat nervous, fearing that she would witness a scene she did not wish to see.

Fortunately, throughout the call, although she was slightly dissatisfied with her favoritism towards Bai Changchuan, it didn't reach the point of mutual dislike. She even threatened and warned him not to provoke other men before ending the call.

Ying Ji gave an awkward smile. Two people were already in dire straits, and she really had no intention of provoking anyone else.

With a great weight lifted from her heart, Ying Ji began to consider how to distribute the grain.

Niu Dazhuang was summoned because the Qin army's rations consisted of potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were easy to store, but the Han people ate millet and the like. It would be troublesome if they didn't know how to eat the rations after they returned.

If someone gets sick after eating a sprouted potato, then a good thing will turn into a bad thing.

The next day, the Longmen Inn hung up its signboard:

The Koreans were poor, and Princess Yingji was heartbroken to see this. Today, she distributed food for free. Anyone in need could line up to receive a meal consisting of three potatoes and three sweet potatoes.

As soon as the signboard was displayed, a crowd gathered at the entrance.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, what does this writing mean? I heard they're giving out grain for free, is that true?"

"What are all these foods? They smell so good!"

“I’ve heard of these potatoes and sweet potatoes. The village vendor went to Xianyang to sell meatballs and made a lot of money. Now he says he doesn’t plan to stay in South Korea and is going to Xianyang to follow his son.”

“I know, you’re talking about the old man who sells meatballs. I haven’t seen his son before. Turns out he went to Xianyang to work.”

"What old man are you talking about? Tell me about potatoes and sweet potatoes, what are these things?"

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. When that old man's son came back, he carried a whole bag of grain. One potato was enough to keep him full for a day. And those sweet potatoes, they said they were sweet. I could smell them from far away, and they really were sweet."

"Sugar, there's sugar in it! My God, the people of Qin are so good, so rich, they eat better than even the landlords and rich people."

While a group of people were still crowding around and asking questions, Niu Dazhuang raised a megaphone made of copper sheet.

"Those who want to receive food should bring their own bowls. One bowl per person. Families should line up together, and the amount of food will be calculated based on the number of people."

Now, instead of crowding together, they quickly went back to call their families, and one person lined up in front while another went home to call for bowls and chopsticks.

The irresistible aroma of hot and sour shredded potatoes is enough to make Koreans' taste buds drool even before they've tasted it.

There are also steamed sweet potatoes and steamed potatoes, half a piece per person.

The last dish is stewed potatoes and sweet potatoes with meat. A group of people who might not eat meat all year round, just smelling that meaty aroma makes their mouths water.

Niu Dazhuang had asked ten men to help serve the food in advance. It wasn't that he didn't want women to help, but some men thought women were easy to bully and would take more food than they needed.

But even ten strong and valiant men wouldn't dare to do that.

The first one in line was the man who said he couldn't read. He had a family of seven, including an elderly person who was bedridden and in poor health, whom he carried on his back.

Since it was the first one, Niu Dazhuang specially picked out a piece of meat for the old man's bowl.

Everyone looked and saw that the family of seven each had a serving of shredded potatoes, half a steamed sweet potato, half a steamed potato, and a spoonful of potato and sweet potato stew with meat. When they left, they were given three raw potatoes and three raw sweet potatoes, and were warned that potatoes that had sprouted were poisonous and should not be eaten, and that they should eat them as soon as possible.

Seeing that everyone around him was staring at him, and fearing that his family would be robbed of their food if they returned home, the man simply sat down on the spot and let his family eat.

After all, everyone was focused on getting their rations and dared not cause trouble. Even if someone was watching them, there were guards standing watch to maintain order.

The only piece of meat went from the old man's bowl to the man's bowl, and then to the youngest son's bowl. The child swallowed hard, but still gave the meat to his mother and ate potatoes himself. The woman's eyes filled with tears when she saw her youngest son's behavior.

He looked at his daughter, who was dressed in rags and had never eaten meat in her life, and put it in her bowl.

The woman's eyes sparkled. Seeing her mother's gentle smile, she was already very happy. She took the initiative to put the meat into her older brother's bowl and said sweetly, "Big brother, you have to go to school. Eat some meat to nourish yourself. There's enough in my bowl."

The boy who was called "Big Brother" froze, tears welling up in his eyes, but he couldn't eat at all. In the end, he divided the meat into 7 portions, and each person took a small piece, while he himself gnawed on the piece with the most bones and the least meat.

Ying Ji was quite impressed with this group: "They are all a good family. The elders are virtuous, the men are upright, the wives are gentle, and the children are filial. Not bad. Go and give each of them a piece of meat, and while you're at it, find a doctor to examine the elders' ailments."

Yuan Ge accepted the order and left. In front of everyone, he said that his princess had seen a connection with this family and had taken the old man to see a doctor and covered all the subsequent medical expenses.

The people around them forgot about the queue and stared blankly at this family, as if it were the odds of winning the lottery.

"My goodness, this Lord Danyang is the same lord in the picture book who took the common people as his retainers."

"If this woman is truly meticulous, she is unlike some important figures who send gifts of fine silks and satins. We would never dare to use those."

"This family is lucky. Maybe they can even work as cooks at the Dragon Gate Inn in the future and enjoy a life of luxury together."

"The name 'Dragon Gate Inn' sounds grand. I wonder if I'll ever be able to have a meal there in my lifetime."

"Haha, that's fine. Even though it wasn't made by a master chef, look at the people in front who got their food, they practically buried their faces in their bowls."

"Move forward quickly, those in front."

Seeing that it was almost her turn, the woman stopped chatting, grabbed her child, went to get her food, and then followed suit, sitting down to eat before going home.

These days, food is precious, let alone shredded potatoes with salt and vinegar. They're practically gone. Families with many strong men would gather together, surrounding the food in the middle to protect it as they went home to eat.

Women with less strength always eat before leaving. Although it's a pity they can't eat it in several meals, as long as the food is in their stomachs, it's safe.
