    Thinking of this, Zhou Ying nodded and replied, “Understood.”


    “Oh right, if there’s a harvest in your manor this summer, remember to set aside a portion.”


    “Ship it to the military camp?”


    “Yes,”


    When Zhou Ying heard his answer, she had mixed feelings.


    Because she was sure that if the military camp weren’t extremely short of food, he would not ask her for this.


    After all, there were only 120 acres ofnd in her manor that could be used to grow grain. How much grain could there be left?


    After that, she looked around and made sure no one was around. She didn’t hide anything and told him in a low voice how she had been growing the sweet potatoes and their production quantity.


    “What did you just say?” Manager Liu looked at her in shock.


    Seeing this, Zhou Ying smiled and had to repeat it.


    “You’re not joking?” Manager Liu’s eyes widened.


    “Do you think I would make such a joke in this situation?”


    “Let’s go. Take me to see that white potato.” After Manager Liu finished speaking, he immediately brought her to the manor.


    “Wait, what about the organizer, Mr. Tian, who is waiting for us?”


    “Don’t worry about him; we’ll just show our faces before the meeting ends.” After Manager Liu finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand and hailed an oxcart to send them to the manor.


    Zhou Ying saw that he was so anxious and didn’t object anymore. No matter what, he would be responsible if Mr. Tian were looking for them.


    After the two of them arrived at the manor, they didn’t look for anyone and went straight to the field of white sweet potatoes. Zhou Ying pointed to the roots that grew from the leaves and said, “We can cut them down and transnt them.


    “As for harvest, it’ll be in August or September?”


    “Such a long time?”


    “Not really. I nted it after the Qingming Festival since it would freeze to death if I nted too early.”


    “This whole field is fully grown with white sweet potatoes?”


    “Yes, even the grasnds are mainly nted with sweet potatoes.


    “Also, the leaves of these sweet potatoes grow fast and can be used as fodder. Every bit matters, right?”


    “How many of these are nted in the vige?”


    “At that time, the seeds were limited, so there weren’t many nted. Each family nted about one to two acres of them, but I’m not sure if there were people who continued after that.”


    “I would like to report this to the third prince. What do you think?”


    “Sure. I was nning to report it after it was harvested, but there’s no water in the river now. I don’t know if it canst until the autumn harvest.”


    “No matter what, we have to protect these seedlings. We’ll think of a way to deal with the rest.”


    “As long as you leave me some seedlings, you can do as you please.”


    After that, the two walked around the sweet potato field once more before returning to the town to look for Mr. Tian.


    Mr. Tian had just sent off the few other business owners when they arrived.


    After they left, Tian Jing Zhong turned and asked, “What took you two so long? I was hoping you could help me out.”


    “I’m sorry we arete. I had something urgent to attend to.” Manager Liu apologized.


    He looked at the few people who had left and said, “From what you’re saying, the porridge stand has been discontinued?”


    “Yeah. This drought has been here for two years, and no one has been spared. Let’s go; we’ll have a chat inside,” Tian Jingzhong said.


    “Alright.” Manager Liu and the other two went into the courtyard together.


    After returning to the main room, Tian Jingzhong asked a maidservant to serve them tea. “What are the two of you nning to do? How long can youst?”


    Manager Liu shook his head. “It’s not that I’m not supporting you. To be honest, Hongyun Restaurant has run out of food now. There is also no ce to purchase more.


    “So, I’m nning to close it from tomorrow onwards..”
