Chapter 7: Selling Roasted Sweet Potatoes? No, It's Baiting



"Shout loudly!"

What A Ye heard most in the market was the cries of merchants and vendors.

“What you sell should look good…”

As a girl, Ah Hua was more careful. She observed that when women were selecting goods, they would always compare them one by one to see which pottery jar was more intact and which vegetable was fresher.

After hearing the two children's answers, Chu Yuening smiled and praised them.

"Excellent! You're all right!"

"What if you were asked to sell something that no one has ever seen before?"

The brother and sister were a little confused when they heard this. Aren’t the things sold in the market common?

"For example, the sweet potato porridge you had today."

Chu Yuening gave a hint.

A Ye and A Hua suddenly understood.

It turns out that golden, sweet, soft and sticky thing is called sweet potato.

At first, they did not ask Chu Yuening what she thought. After all, as a slave, she was not allowed to interfere in anything her master said.

"Can we let them have a taste?"

A Ye thought hard for a while before he said uncertainly.

If he had money, he would definitely buy a lot of this delicious food after tasting it!

"No, no, if everyone tries one, won't that mean we'll lose money?"

The calculating Ah Hua retorted.

Chu Yuening couldn't help but chuckle when she saw A Ye scratching his head.

“We can actually let our guests taste it, just by cutting it into small pieces.”

“But we have to identify our target customers first.”

"At the beginning, you can select some elderly people, men, women, and children to try..."

Chu Yuening tried her best to make it easy to understand.

The brother and sister nodded as if they understood, looking at their elder sister with adoration in their bright eyes.

"In short, if we want to sell our products, we must do everything we can to show our customers their advantages..."

"For example, we can tell customers that sweet potatoes are filling, soft, and sweet."

"Of course, you can also let them taste it themselves. Once they understand how delicious the food is, word will spread and customers will flock to us."

Chu Yuening did not intend to teach overly complicated marketing strategies for the time being, as these were not applicable in Daqin, and the law did not allow exaggerated publicity or arbitrary price changes.

A Ye and A Hua listened carefully to their elder sister's teachings, worked hard to acquire knowledge, and looked forward to working for their elder sister as soon as possible.

Chu Yuening smiled slightly, and suddenly felt a sense of responsibility as a teacher.

Next, she carefully explained the sales techniques and then asked the two to play the roles of merchant and customer to practice.

At first, the two were so nervous that they stumbled over their words.

But as I practiced slowly, I became more and more fluent and confident.

During this time, Chu Yuening first went to the kitchen to roast two sweet potatoes. When she returned to the yard and saw the two people having a serious conversation, she suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

These two are really talented people, and many things can be handed over to them in the future.

She interrupted the rehearsal between the brother and sister and whispered to them to promote the roasted sweet potatoes more when they were selling them.

After hearing this, A Ye and A Hua looked shocked, but they did not object and nodded respectfully.

After the sweet potatoes were baked, Chu Yuening put them in ceramic jars to prevent them from getting cold. After packing up, she took the two nervous and excited little ones to the market.

After arriving at her own shop, she looked around.

I found that this so-called shop was only slightly better than a small stall. It was empty except for a small wooden table, which I guess was used to place goods.

Let's slowly arrange it later...

She twitched her lips, asked A Ye and A Hua to stand behind the stage, gave them an encouraging look, and the two of them started shouting loudly.

“Selling delicious roasted sweet potatoes!”

"Eat one and you won't feel hungry all day. It tastes sweeter than honey and is loved by adults and children alike!"

“Don’t miss it if you pass by!”

"These sweet potatoes were brought back by our master from the Western Regions!"

"I heard it can yield 1,000 kilograms per mu, and now it's only one cent each!"

As the two people shouted in a novel and varied manner, many people in the market gradually gathered around them out of curiosity.

At that moment, Chu Yuening had just cut open a sweet potato, and golden molasses flowed out, along with an overbearing aroma that filled everyone's nostrils. By the time she had filled the small table with golden sweet potatoes, the entire shop was packed, and the crowd was buzzing with chatter.

"What is this? I've never seen it before in all my travels."

"It smells really good, and it looks delicious. It's even dripping with honey."

"Why do I seem to have heard two children say that the yield per mu can reach 1,000 kilograms?"

"How is that possible?! It must be fake, right? Are they liars?"

“…”

Various emotions such as questioning, curiosity, and suspicion appeared one after another among the crowd.

Chu Yuening responded with a sad look.

"My father accidentally found this while doing business in the Western Regions. I heard it can yield a thousand kilograms per mu, and it tastes great and is very filling."

"I didn't want to give it out, but my parents died, and I had no choice but to exchange it for some money to make a living."

Hearing this, everyone offered words of comfort.

Times are tough these days, and everyone has their own secrets.

"Everyone, if you don't believe it, you can try this sweet potato for free before considering whether to buy it."

Chu Yuening was afraid that others would not dare to taste it easily, so she took a small piece and put it into her mouth.

Looking at the woman eating with such delicious taste, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

The next moment, a woman picked up a piece of sweet potato and started eating it at lightning speed.
