The high-yield grain was quickly finished. As they were in a hurry, they were all put into the pot and stewed. There were no other tricks.
Brother Jian used a large basin to bring all the things over. He said somewhat cautiously, “Lords, please help yourself.”
Left Guard General said happily, “Brother, just call me Big Brother Shi. There’s no need to be so formal.
What a joke. This was the princess’ father. How could he call him an official? Dalang Jian wiped his hands nervously. “Sure, sure.”

Previously, Ming Zhiyan had sent some high-yield grain to the Capital, but it was only a little bit. The Emperor had eaten it all, so they had only seen it a few times.
He looked at Ming Zhiyan with some resentment. “Crown Prince Ming, don’t you know to send more grain to the Capital? None of us have eaten it yet.”
Ming Zhiyan said calmly, “How much will be enough for you to eat? Will you be responsible for delaying the expansion next year?”
Left Guard General felt a lump in his throat. Although he felt that it was not that serious, he really could not bear the responsibility. So he laughed and said,
“It’s okay. It’s the same for me now.”
As he spoke, he took a big bite of the corn and praised, “Not bad, it’s quite delicious!”
In this era, most of the grain was coarse grain, the kind that stung the throat. Although the corn didn’t have much flavor, it was still much better than coarse grain.
Eunuch Wang picked up a sweet potato. The sweet potato was very big and had been steamed until it cracked open, revealing the purple core inside. He took a bite and his eyes lit up. “It’s sweet! Delicious!”
He was already a little old. Sometimes, he had to chew for a long time to eat a meal. This corn was soft and squishy, and also very sweet. It was very to his liking.
At this time, Father Jian took out another bowl of dipping sauce and said, “That potato doesn’t have much flavor. You can just dip it in the dipping sauce to eat it. This dipping sauce is a little spicy. If you can’t eat it, don’t dip it in.”
Left Guard General immediately looked at the bowl of black dipping sauce in surprise. He had long heard of chili. When the Emperor invited the ministers to a banquet, he had even tried some for them. Although he had only tasted it once, he could still feel its delicacy.
He quickly finished eating the corn in two or three bites and picked up a large potato. He peeled off the thin skin on the outside and dipped the potato into the chili. After eating it in large bites, he said vaguely, “It’s really not bad!”
Although the potato was tasteless and a little dry, it was very delicious after dipping in the sauce.

Jian Qingqing smiled. She was still not used to others calling her Princess, but there was nothing she could do about it. She had to get used to it in the future.
After lunch, Xiao Lang saw that the adults were too bored to talk. Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye went to school again, so he started practicing in the courtyard.
Left Guard General looked at the child who was practicing boxing outside. He was able to move in circles and kick with ease. He said in surprise, “He already has this skill at such a young age?!”
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “It’s all because Brother Ming taught him well.”
Left Guard General observed for a while more and shook his head. “His talent is also very good. He can train so attentively at such a young age.”
When his son was only four or five years old, he did not have such good willpower. He had to beat him up every day before he could train properly. When he practiced, he always thought of slacking off.
Besides having a good focus, the child in front of him also had good bones. When he moved, one could vaguely see his imposing manner..
