A man around Zhou Huaiming's age came out later.

The man was wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with silver trim, which made him look extraordinarily calm and tall despite his young age.

It's a pity that a handsome face like a knife looks extraordinarily cold, giving people the feeling of an iceberg, and people don't want to get close after seeing it.

But seeing Shopkeeper Liu treat him more respectfully than Zhou Huaiming, he immediately had an answer in his heart.

This person is probably the third prince guarding the Dongyang Navy.

I just don't know why he came to the door suddenly.

Afterwards, Er Zhuang hurriedly stopped the screaming Er Zhuang and said, "You guys are here, please come inside."

After sensing her scrutiny, Zhou Huaiming asked in surprise, "Why don't you know my cousin?"

Zhou Ying nodded and said, "But I guessed it."

But because he didn't take the initiative to introduce the reason, she didn't have the nerve to shout, but saluted according to the original owner's memory, and welcomed them into the house.

After they sat down, Zhou Huaiming asked curiously, "Sister and brother, who do you think he is?"

The third prince frowned and glanced at him, but still looked at Zhou Ying curiously.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that Miss Zhou's family, who lived together in the capital for many years, would not know him.

"Ms. Gu Zhou, a civilian woman, has met the third prince." Zhou Ying stepped forward and saluted.

"Pingshen, I took the liberty to disturb you today." The third prince said.

"Thank you, third prince, wait a moment, the women will go make tea." Zhou Ying turned to leave after finishing speaking.

Zhou Huaiming hurriedly stopped her and said, "Wait, you can take this mutton too. We will have hot pot at noon. Please prepare a table for eight people."

After hearing this, Zhou Ying took the mutton thoughtfully and said, "Okay, wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he took the mutton and went to the kitchen, made them a pot of Longjing tea, took nine teacups in, poured each of them a cup, and said, "Do your own thing, I'm going to the kitchen to prepare meals."

Not long after she went out, Gu Chengrui came back with the carriage, and brought County Magistrate Sun, Tian Jingzhong, the village head and the patriarch at the same time.

Gu Chengrui was still holding a mandarin duck copper pot in his hand. After sending them into the house, he brought them over and handed them to Zhou Ying, saying, "Girl, I'm afraid you won't be able to serve the table today, so I'll leave a stutter for myself."

Zhou Ying nodded and asked, "Is that person here for the sake of sweet potatoes?"

"It's probably true. I'm afraid that some of the sweet potatoes will be confiscated in the village and transported to the south."

"So that's how it is. There is boiling water in the pot. Next, you can entertain them yourself." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she began to seriously prepare the hot pot in the kitchen.

It must be too late to cut the meat with a knife, so after Zhou Ying processed it, she took the meat to the space for a quick freeze, and then cut it with an automatic slicer, but cut it as thick as possible.

There are two kinds of spicy and sour soup prepared as the base of the hot pot.

The side dishes are mainly vegetables that are available in the village, such as white radish, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, lettuce, winter melon, pumpkin and sweet potato.

Finally, I took some yuba, vermicelli, fungus, and taro wide noodles.

After getting ready, Gu Chengrui came over and asked, "Do you need any help?"

"Are you finished?" Zhou Ying raised her head and asked.

"It's over." Gu Chengrui nodded, and then continued: "In the village, according to the head, each strong laborer keeps 500 catties of sweet potatoes, and the children keep 300 catties, and the rest are shipped to the south."

"Magistrate Kong didn't say anything, but there are many disaster victims in the county?"

"The third prince said that a batch of rice and taro will be brought over in a few days, and then they will be ground into powder together with sweet potato vines or various dried vegetables."
