Chapter 227 Discussing Countermeasures

Li Yan looked at Grandma Zhang who was about to leave and said hurriedly, "Grandma, wait a moment. I'll bring some roasted sweet potatoes over so the clan leader and the others can have some!"

After hearing what Li Yan said, Mrs. Zhang immediately went to the kitchen to get some empty bowls to put the roasted sweet potatoes in. She smiled and said, "Miss Li is really thoughtful."

Several people came to the home of Patriarch Chen, carrying roasted sweet potatoes.

The patriarch of Chenjia Village is an old man in his seventies and is very respected.

He was currently sitting under a big tree in the yard, picking the sweet potatoes that had just been harvested from his home.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang and the others enter the yard, he quickly dropped his work and asked, "Why is Mrs. Dashan here? What's the matter?" He then shouted towards the main hall, "Old woman, come out quickly!"

Mrs. Zhang said to the clan leader, "Clan leader, I came here to discuss the sweet potato issue with you!"

Clan leader Chen sighed, "Is it to sell sweet potatoes? Alas, I haven't sold any sweet potatoes at home either!"

Mrs. Zhang said anxiously, "Chief, I want to tell you a good idea for selling sweet potatoes!"

Upon hearing this, the clan leader's cloudy eyes immediately lit up and he asked anxiously, "What method?"

Mrs. Chen patted Li Yan's shoulder and said encouragingly, "Go!"

At this time, Li Yan, who was standing nearby, brought the sweet potatoes in her hand to Chief Chen and said, "Grandpa Chief, I think we should sell roasted sweet potatoes! These roasted sweet potatoes are fragrant. We can put the oven by the town's dock, where the most people are working. People who have worked all day are tired and hungry, and they are willing to spend two cents for each sweet potato. Besides, one sweet potato is quite filling!"

Patriarch Chen looked at the sweet potatoes in front of him, which were emitting a rich aroma, picked up one and started eating!

At this time, many of Clan Leader Chen's family members gathered in the yard. Li Yan distributed the sweet potatoes in the bowl to the other people standing in the yard one by one.

The children in the yard got the roasted sweet potatoes and couldn't wait to eat them. As they ate, they praised: "Sister's sweet potatoes are so delicious, sweet and fragrant!"

Patriarch Chen nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Since you thought of this, why did you come to tell us?"

Li Yan explained, "The worst thing to do in business is to avoid malicious competition. I thought it would be better for the clan leader, Grandpa, to come forward and organize the villagers to do this. This way, everyone can make money and it won't hurt the harmony. The most important thing is to prevent people with ulterior motives from coveting us! After all, it's more intimidating to make an enemy of one person than an entire village!"

Patriarch Chen listened with a sidelong glance, unable to help but reassess the child, who was only a teenager. Looking at his silent father, Patriarch Chen's son, standing beside him, said eagerly, "Father, I think this idea is very good. Please agree to it!"

Patriarch Chen came to his senses and ordered his son to go to the village and gather all the villagers in Chenjia Village!

Upon hearing this, Chen Dalang immediately ran out the door. These days, he had been worrying about how to sell the sweet potatoes at home to supplement the family income. Winter was approaching, and Chen Dalang wanted to buy some cotton to make thick cotton-padded clothes for the elderly and children, but he didn't even have the money!

He had just eaten the roasted sweet potato and thought it was a very good idea. Chen Dalang ran towards the village without stopping. He notified the villagers from house to house, telling them that he had the idea of ​​selling sweet potatoes and asked everyone to go home to discuss it.

When the villagers got the news, they immediately put down their work and went to the home of Patriarch Chen!
