The drought is becoming increasingly severe...

"Indeed, Your Majesty, if this isn't resolved soon, I fear there will be food shortages and the people's hearts may turn against us!"

Du Junchu glanced at the parched land around him, his brows furrowed with worry.

Li Er nodded after hearing this. The spring drought in the north had always been a headache for him, and every year he had to transport grain from the south, which consumed a lot of manpower.

But just then, Princess Chang Le saw a patch of green that stood out. She was curious and walked towards it.

I hadn't even reached the spot when a peanut shell hit me on the forehead.

"You?!" Chang Le Princess stared at Zhao Yin, who was nonchalantly eating something unknown with his second leg raised. She was visibly displeased.

"Who is so bold as to attack…my young mistress!"

While Zhao Yin appeared completely unfazed, he merely instructed the surrounding tenant farmers to be careful with their potatoes.

What is this?

But Princess Chang Le was soon attracted by the black stuff in the fire pile of Zhao Yinbian, and immediately walked forward.

Zhao Yin put the peanuts aside and poked his still-roasting potato with a stick. He only then realized that someone was standing next to him, so he gave a dismissive response, "This is a potato. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand!"

"Grandpa, are these things really edible?" The old man frowned and glanced at the green shoots covering the ground. Planting all their land with these things hadn't yielded any fruit. He wondered how Grandpa could think of eating them.

"Let me show you!"

Zhao YIn is a traverser. After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, he discovered that a magical system was bound to him. He could obtain corresponding rewards through people's worship, astonishment, and other emotions.

And you can redeem many things that don't exist in this era at the system mall.

For example, fine salt, seeds of various modern crops, etc.

These potato seeds are what he exchanged for from the system mall.

Zhao YIn poked one of the black lumps out.

"Can you even eat this?!"

Princess Chang Le's face was full of surprise.

But Zhao Yin ignored her, peeling away the charred outer layer blackened by the fire. The steaming, soft food inside immediately stunned Princess Chang Le.

Princess Chang Le went out early in the morning with an empty stomach. When she saw Zhao Yin holding a steaming potato and sprinkling something that seemed like seasoning on it from time to time, she swallowed involuntarily.

"Hungry?" Zhao Yin noticed Chang Le's unusual expression and raised an eyebrow.

Princess Chang Le nodded eagerly.

"What's so simple about it, just pay!" Zhao Yin said as he sprinkled some chili flakes on the potato. Then he took a bite of the steaming hot potato and chewed with satisfaction.

Looking at Zhao Yin's appearance, Chang Le Princess became even more greedy. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "How much?"

Got hooked!

Joe planted so many potatoes with the intention of making a profit. Now that someone is eager to buy, he naturally wants to make a good deal. He opened his left palm.

"Five wen?" Princess Chang Le was taken aback. To think, five wen could buy several days' worth of food for an ordinary commoner.

"Don't give up yet~"

Zhao Yinzhen started eating his potatoes by himself.

Looking at Zhao Yin eating so deliciously, Princess Chang Le's mouth began to water even more.

"Great! I'll buy it! Five cents, five cents!"

Saying that, Princess Chang Le gave Zhao Yin five coins.

To take out five copper coins so easily?

This is no ordinary feat!

Zhao Yimou lingered on Chang Le Princess.

But still the other roasted sweet potato was eaten by Princess Changle.

"Mmm! Delicious!" Chang Le Princess was still very excited despite being burned.

One potato was eaten very quickly.

Congratulations on obtaining the admiration points, the points have been credited to your account!

The system prompt sounded.

Zhao Yinyin paused, back then the worship of nearly ten tenant farmers had only brought him three nods. Ten tenant farmers weren't even comparable to this one?!

"Is there more?" Chang Le Princess looked at the few black lumps left in the fire, her eyes filled with longing.

“Miss…!”

Just as Zhao Yin was about to overpower this person, a loud shout rang out from not far away.

Zhao Yinzhen turned his head and saw several middle-aged men.

Isn't this the family member of this appearance?

But Zhao Yin knew something was up when he saw the middle-aged man standing before him.

A dragon tattooed on his waist, this man is either the emperor or he's on his way to meet his maker.

Then it seems this beauty is ——

Princess Chang'le Li Lijun?

"A-zhi, why did you just leave without a word?"

Li Er frowned as he looked at Chang Le Princess.

Upon hearing this, Princess Chang Le said to her father as if offering a treasure, "Father, everything around us is drought-stricken, but here, it's lush and green. And the fruits he roasts are simply delicious!"

"

?Taste… ?

Li Er turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yin's field, only to see a patch of green saplings. Where were the fruits?

"Young Master, please sell me one more!"

But Chang Le Princess saw those baked potatoes, and suddenly she was craving them again.

“What is so delicious?” Li Er was very puzzled. Princess Chang Le, despite being a princess in the palace and accustomed to delicacies every day, would be so eager for a few black lumps?

Zhao Yinchang then spoke, "Would this master also like to try?"

"Try it, try it, Father, it's really delicious!"

Before Li Er could speak, Princess Chang Le pleaded first. The potatoes just now were simply delicious, a taste of heaven! Just one wasn't enough!

"Alright, more money then." Li Er saw this and felt a bit helpless, so he just looked at Zhao Yin and asked.

Princess Chang Le was about to speak, but Zhao Yin answered first, "Ten copper coins!"

"What? Ten wen?! Wasn't it just five wen a moment ago?"

Princess Chang Le frowned at Zhao Yin.

"You should know that ten wen is enough to buy a month's worth of food!" Du Junchao, who was standing beside him, also shouted loudly.

"Do you think we're fools?"

Changsun Wuji also coldly snorted at this time.

But during a spring drought, let alone ten cash coins, it would be good fortune to be able to buy food at all, wouldn't it?

Zhao Yinfan raised an eyebrow. "And it was just now, now it's ten copper coins, do you want it or not!"

Zhao YIn said, peeling and eating another potato. The soft, delicious taste caused everyone present to swallow involuntarily.

"...Ten wen coins, is that right..."

Li Er hesitated for a moment, just about to take out ten copper coins, when he heard Zhao Yin swallow the potato in his mouth and reply.

"That's not the price anymore, fifty mon!"

What?!

Li Er's eyes widened. Wasn't this clearly treating them all as fools?

Is the starting price even a bit too obvious?

"Doing business is a matter of mutual agreement. If you don't like it, just don't buy it!"

Jo In-sung nonchalantly munched on the potato, causing everyone's mouths to water uncontrollably.
