Recap: As we saw last time, the Vice-Minister wanted to get revenge on Li Yufeng, so he bribed a cook to pour slop into the Spirit Rice paddies. But the cook accidentally dumped the barbarian Spirit Spring water that Ayina had brought, mistaking it for waste.
Guess what happened? Once watered with that Spirit Spring, the Golden Dan Rice actually bloomed with seven-colored rice flowers, and their fragrance got the onlookers so high they fell into a collective "rice-drunk" stupor.
When the Vice-Minister heard about it, he flew into a rage, smashed a teacup, and cried out, "I wanted him to stink to death, not smell me to death!"
