Transmigrated into a Tough Country Woman, Fleeing the Famine with Four Babies

Mo Qiansheng woke up and found herself transmigrated to a famine era. Not only was she struggling to eat, but she and her four children almost became someone else's meal.

Chapter 137 Selling Potatoes

The next day, Mo Qianshang loaded the necessary items into the car, but this time she did not bring Qin Baiyi.

Qin Baiyi didn't care, but Mo Qianchang didn't think he looked like someone who set up a stall. If she was busy at the stall while he was the one wearing the black veil, the scene would be too strange.

Mo Qianshang took a car to the county town. When Chang Fei saw her stop at the shop entrance, he quickly came out to help.

Mo Qianshang brought dozens of kilograms of potatoes, as well as tables, chairs, and stoves for the stall... Moving these things up and down was no easy task, but luckily she was in good physical condition.

Mo Qianshang had already baked some potatoes at home, and they were still a little warm, so she put them in the oven to keep them warm.

Mo Qianshang naturally began to hawk her wares: "Potatoes! Potatoes! Soft and filling potatoes! One coin each, one coin each!"

Her voice was clear and energetic, and she didn't seem embarrassed at all. Given that there were many men setting up stalls on the street, a woman's voice was indeed very eye-catching.

She would rotate the potatoes on her stall, each roasted potato emitting steam. One of them, broken open, revealed a yellowish-white potato inside, which looked delicious.

She persisted in hawking her wares, and gradually people stopped and stood near her stall. After all, these were potatoes that the government had recently been promoting, and many people had never bought them before, but they were still curious to hear someone hawking them.

Mo Qianshang's original intention in setting up the stall was to promote herself, not to make money. Whenever someone came by, she would very enthusiastically break off some potatoes and offer them to her.

Especially since she herself is beautiful and always has a smile on her face, but she is not aloof. When everyone heard that a potato only costs one coin, they felt it was no big deal. One coin could only buy a handful of wild fruits, so buying roasted potatoes was much more cost-effective.

"Hey, give me two!" "Me too!"

Of those who tried the potatoes, more than half would spend at least one cent. Many of them would stand next to the shop and eat them right after buying them, and the aroma of the potatoes would quickly spread.

Mo Qianshang is good at business; she even took out her spice jar: "Hey, sister-in-law, let me sprinkle some of this on you, it'll taste even better!"

She used her own salt and pepper seasoning, as she had always enjoyed salt and pepper potatoes in her past life. Although she baked a whole potato, it still tasted pretty good.

As everyone ate the potatoes, their initial excitement turned into something else entirely, and they never expected the potatoes to be so delicious!

"I have to say, this thing called potato is really delicious. How come it's so soft!"

Mo Qianshang laughed and said, "This is what it looks like when it's cooked, so soft!"

Hearing that this is how it turns out once it's cooked, many people were tempted, thinking that these potatoes could last a long time!

“I think my mother and daughter can eat it. The old rice at home is too hard, and it takes a long time to cook porridge. The elderly and children don’t have good teeth. They will definitely like this when I take it back.”

The speaker was a man who ate his potato whole: "Give me four more, pack them up and take them with me!"

Mo Qianshang agreed, and seeing that there were quite a few people around, she began to promote the potatoes: "If you like to eat them, you can buy them at the grain store behind me. These potatoes can be eaten as a staple food. One stone costs one thousand coins, which is cheaper than grain. You can roast them, steam them, or slice them and stir-fry them!"

Upon hearing her say this, someone immediately became interested: One thousand coins for one stone?!

A shi (a unit of dry measure) of grain now costs more than two thousand wen!

Many people were speculating whether Wenmo Qianshang was real. Many of them didn't know about the government's announcement, or even if they saw it, they couldn't read it. They were all very curious when they heard it.

"Yes! But if you have a small family, you can just buy more when you need them. Remember, these potatoes can't be eaten raw, or you'll get sick! They can last about two weeks at home, so just buy more when you run out!"

Everyone initially thought it was just a snack, but the price was so low that they were all eager to try it. At this moment, Chang Fei, standing at the entrance of the grain store, also started shouting to promote it: "Everyone, come and buy in groups! This is a collaboration between the government and Boss Mo. It's the most convenient place to buy from here in our county!"

"I have 100,000 jin here now. Everyone can go back and discuss with their families and neighbors about coming together!"

Many people don't know Mo Qianshang, but Chang Fei's family has been buying grain in the county town for many years. His family owns the largest grain store in the town, so he wouldn't lie.

Hearing him say that, many people were eager to try it out. Those who were more familiar with him went up directly to ask Chang Fei what was going on with the potatoes.

Mo Qianshang seized the opportunity to remind Chang Fei to bring the potatoes out of the warehouse and pile them up in the shop and at the entrance for everyone to see.

Chang Fei, being a seasoned veteran, immediately understood her meaning and instructed the shop assistants to bring out the potatoes.

Originally, Mo Qianshang was selling roasted potatoes at a stall, but this time she upgraded it to promoting grain stores, attracting many people from the surrounding area.

Mo Qianshang simply moved a chair, stood on it, and started calling out to the customers present.

"Doesn't this roasted potato taste good? To be honest, I'm the only one trying to grow this potato right now. At this price, even if grain prices drop one day, it's still possible to keep potatoes on hand at home, especially for people with dental problems!"

"Hey, sir, you bought so much! Thank you for your support. Brother Chang, could you please add another one for him?"

While they were talking, Mo Qianshang took the opportunity to hand out the potatoes she was holding to customers who had bought more: "Dear brothers and sisters-in-law, please remember to help promote our grain store when you get back! This year's potatoes have already been harvested, and we'll sell them all before winter! Don't miss out!"

It's said that you can't refuse a favor if you eat someone's food. Even people who love bargains will feel bad if they don't help promote the food when it's already inexpensive and the seller is so generous.

Everyone present laughed and agreed enthusiastically. Such a happy scene was impossible for passersby to ignore, and the already narrow street was almost completely blocked.

The stall was bustling, and business was bound to be good. Although these retail potatoes were only a drop in the ocean compared to her hundreds of thousands of potatoes in stock, with such a good start, once the potatoes became famous, big business would naturally come knocking.

There were too many people, and Mo Qianshang didn't notice that Qin Baiyi, who had arrived at some point, was watching them from the second floor of the teahouse diagonally opposite.

It was already afternoon. Qin Baiyi had been thinking that since she had nothing to do at home, she might as well come to the county town to see how her roasted potatoes were selling.

He didn't expect to see so many people on the street. He had to stand here to see the woman surrounded by people in the crowd. There seemed to be some sweat on her forehead, but she was smiling and talking to someone with her head down.
