Kudzu root powder?
Upon hearing this, Ganli tentatively asked, "Is it powder made from that thing that looks a lot like a sweet potato?"
"That's right!"
Ganli's eyes lit up: "How many copper coins per pound?"
"I originally bought it for four coins, but it got a little damp, so I'll give it to you for two coins! Don't worry, just dry it at home and it'll still taste good, it just won't look as nice."
Gan Li went over to take a look and saw that it was indeed a little damp, but not seriously. Thinking that if this kudzu root powder was really the same as the powder she knew in her previous life, then she would have another way to make money, so she said, "Then give me some too... ten catties to start."
She was still cautious. What if it wasn't the tapioca flour she thought it was? Wouldn't that be a waste? She decided to take a small amount first and try it when she got back.

Thirty coins a day, and that adds up to nine qian of silver a month, which is almost one tael!
This was a large sum of money, and Gan Qishan was naturally overjoyed, but he also had some reservations. He already knew that Gan Li was going to do business, but before the business had even started, he saw her money being spent like water, and he couldn't help but worry about her.
Gan Li knew he meant well and comforted him, "Don't worry, Brother Qishan, I know what I'm doing."
Gan Qishan couldn't say anything more. Looking at Gan Li's smiling face and thinking of Uncle Qingtian's weathered face, he felt a mix of emotions. But remembering Old Man Gan's instructions, he ultimately said nothing.
