Li Yan asked, "What if, like before, no one's interested? Has the clan leader ever considered selling it?"

"Promotion? What's a promotion?"

Li Yan explained, "Grandpa, the clan leader, here's what I'm thinking. Tomorrow, on the first day we sell these roasted sweet potatoes, we'll have a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Of course, the free sweet potatoes will be small, carefully selected ones. This way, others can benefit, and the villagers won't feel bad about it!"

Patriarch Chen nodded repeatedly and praised, "That's a good idea. I'll go talk to them right away!"

Li Yan once again called out to Chief Chen, who was about to leave: "Grandpa Chief, find me a few more smart kids. Tomorrow I'll take them to help you promote your business!"

Patriarch Chen didn't understand, but he knew that this girl had her own ideas, so he said, "I understand!" He put his hands behind his back and walked away with big strides!

After everyone left, Mrs. Zhang smiled and took Li Yan's hand and thanked her, "Miss Li, thank you so much!"

"Grandma, if there's anyone to thank, it should be me! If you hadn't rescued me from the shore and brought me home, I wouldn't even know where I am now!"

This afternoon, the villagers in Chenjia Village were busy and happy, and they were looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.

Early the next morning, many villagers gathered at the gate of Chenjia Village to watch the fun. Clan leader Chen selected four young men from the village to go to the town to sell roasted sweet potatoes, and also selected two women to help them!

The villagers were very enthusiastic. Some were carrying stoves, some were carrying firewood, everyone was very enthusiastic!

Li Yan asked for three children from Patriarch Chen, and took Chun Ya with her, leading the four of them to follow the team into the county town.

Everyone sent the people to the dock, and those in the village who had boats were waiting at the dock early, ready to transport them across the river!

The group successfully crossed the other side of the river, and Chen Dalang found an open and unobstructed place to put down the stove on his back.

Seeing that everyone was busy with work and no one needed her, Li Yan simply took her friends in the village to visit the county town first!

The uncles and aunts quickly lit the stove and began to roast sweet potatoes. After they built the stove yesterday, they immediately tried it many times and were now quite familiar with the process of roasting sweet potatoes.

As they worked, they looked at the many merchant ships docked on the shore waiting to unload their cargo. They hoped that this food could be noticed by the merchant ships coming and going. Everyone was secretly looking forward to it!

Everyone was busy working, and soon the air was filled with the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes!

Although everyone smelled the fragrance, no one came forward to ask, which made the villagers of Chenjia Village very anxious!

Li Yan took her friends for a walk in the city, and when she found it was almost time, she led them back to the shop.

Li Yan walked over to the uncles, blinking and pretending to ask, "What is this? Why does it smell so good?"

The uncles and aunts understood and introduced loudly: "Miss, this is a roasted sweet potato. Would you like to try it? Today is our first day of opening. Buy one and get a small one free!"

Li Yan: "How do you sell it?"

"Two cents each, buy a big one and get a small one free!"

Li Yan: "Then give us five!"

The aunts took the hot sweet potatoes out of the oven, wrapped them in clean leaves they had prepared in advance, and handed them to Li Yan, saying expectantly, "Girl, try it. Be careful, it's hot!"

Li Yan shared the sweet potatoes with the friends behind her and signaled them to start eating!

The little friend received Li Yan's instructions early in the morning and peeled the sweet potato towards the crowd. The tempting golden color and rich aroma drifted far away with the wind.
