Chapter 1820: Promoting Potatoes
Shao Yunduan laughed softly. He held her in his arms and gently patted her shoulders. "Well, go to sleep!"
Qiao Xuan curled her red lips slightly. The familiar chest was solid and reliable, and a reassuring breath came over her. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep again.
Strike while the iron is hot. The day after An An’s full-month banquet, potatoes were put on the market and sold in a big way.
This is good on your own territory. You don’t have to worry about procedures, stalls, etc.
Song Shi and others selected busy places in the city and set up a total of four potato sales points in various markets.
During the first two days of sales, a simple pot was set up nearby and dishes were cooked with potatoes on the spot, which were provided free for passers-by to taste, and various ways of cooking potatoes were introduced at the same time.
The free dishes are cooked once an hour and come in different styles, including potato cakes, stir-fried spicy and sour potato shreds, stir-fried potato cubes, potato chips, steamed potatoes, etc. There is also a pot of fried potatoes every day.
The potatoes were sold very cheaply, at four cents per pound. The purchase limit was ten pounds, and wealthy families or restaurants could buy up to twenty pounds at a time. If you wanted to buy more, you had to queue up again.
At the same time, tell everyone that the quantity is limited and will be sold out while stocks last. If you don’t buy it, you will have to wait until next year.
Qiao Xuan originally thought that people would be skeptical and it would be difficult to promote it, and that it would require a process from rejection to acceptance.
Who knew it would go so smoothly.
Those wealthy families who had eaten potato dishes at An An's full moon banquet were indeed very respectful and started to buy potatoes.
Some restaurants that were well-informed also followed suit and bought goods when they saw this.
When other restaurants of all sizes saw this, they followed suit.
The people were already grateful for Lord Shao's integrity, and the products produced by the Shao family were popular and not expensive, so they bought them one after another.
When there are too many people in line, others will not even think twice and just queue up to buy. There are so many people buying, so it won’t be a loss if you buy it anyway…
Two thousand acres of potatoes, with an output of about 450-600 kilograms per acre, totaling about 9 million kilograms. Qiao Xuan kept the seeds needed for the two thousand acres of land, and kept a few thousand kilograms for food and gifts, mainly for Zheng Sangge and his people. Each person in the state government sent 20 kilograms. The remaining half was sold in Anze State City, and the other half was distributed to 17 towns. In less than ten days, nearly 9 million kilograms of potatoes were processed cleanly!
The gifts were given to the clerks and yamen runners, and everyone was extremely happy. They all praised and expressed gratitude for Lord and Mrs. Shao's generosity!
I took the potatoes home and fried them that night. Whether they were stir-fried plain, with meat, or stewed, they all tasted amazing.
The next day, when we were on duty at the government office, everyone was discussing the matter enthusiastically. Many people said that their families loved to eat it, and they ran to the market early in the morning to line up to buy it!
This thing is delicious, high-yield and easy to store. Mrs. Shao sells it at a low price, it’s simply perfect!
Even if you don't have any land at home, you can cultivate a small piece of land in the yard and plant some crops. You can harvest a lot in the fall!
For a time, people all over the city were talking about potatoes enthusiastically.
In various restaurants, the ordering rate of potatoes has skyrocketed, and almost every table of guests will order one to try.
The Fan family didn't buy potatoes.
The Fan family didn't dare to buy it, and no one in the Fan family dared to mention this matter in front of Old Mrs. Fan.
This is something promoted by Mrs. Shao. At the full-month banquet for Mr. Shao's child, potatoes made a grand appearance and were highlighted. Everyone in the city knew about it. The old lady would not be happy.
