The busy people at the dock had already smelled the fragrance here, but no one came forward to ask!
At this moment, seeing the children in front of the stalls screaming that the food was delicious, the merchant ships that stopped here to unload goods and the people nearby all looked over here.
A burly man looked at the children eating with gusto and asked, "Is it delicious?"
The children nodded vigorously, it was really delicious. Although they had sweet potatoes at home, today was the first time they tasted roasted sweet potatoes.
The man walked up to the stall and asked, "How much is this?"
Chen Dalang, standing by, immediately introduced: "These roasted sweet potatoes are two cents each. Today is our first day of opening, so buy a big one and get a small one free!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man bought more than 40 roasted sweet potatoes from two stoves in one breath, threw down a string of copper coins, and pointed to the merchant ship on the river bank: "Do you see that ship? Send the roasted sweet potatoes to that ship!" After that, he turned and left.
The aunts were so excited that they couldn't believe that just by letting the children stand in front of the stall and eat, a big customer would come. Looking at the string of copper coins, they knew it must be worth more than a hundred coins!
Chen Dalang hurriedly took out the roasted sweet potatoes from the stove and put them into the prepared wooden basin, and told his two companions to deliver the sweet potatoes to the people.
As soon as the business opened, there was a constant stream of customers. When they heard that there was a buy one get one free offer, they all came forward to express their desire to buy something. Some of them were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.
By noon, the 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes we brought were sold out!
No one expected the roasted sweet potato business to be so prosperous. They originally thought it would take a whole day to sell out, but they were all sold out in half a day. Many people who didn’t buy anything asked them to bring more tomorrow!
Chen Dalang had no choice but to apologize and promise: "I will definitely not let you all down tomorrow!"
Everyone packed up their things and headed towards Chenjia Village happily.
Today, villagers from Chenjia Village came to the village entrance from time to time to inquire about what was happening. When they saw a group of people coming this way, they excitedly shouted, "They're back! They're back!"
The villagers who heard the news came to the village entrance to look around.
The villagers gathered around the group and returned to the village. A nearby villager looked at the empty baskets behind them and asked excitedly, "Have you sold all of them?"
The aunt, who had been busy all morning, said happily, "Sold, sold, all sold! The guests in town are blaming us for not bringing enough!"
Everyone was very happy after hearing this, and they all went to the clan leader's house.
Clan leader Chen counted the money he had received today in front of everyone and recorded the account. Seeing that the sweet potatoes had sold for over 600 coins today, the villagers were very happy and decided to bring more sweet potatoes to the town to sell tomorrow.
Li Yan looked at the smiles on the villagers' faces and felt happy for them from the bottom of her heart!
Li Yan brought Chun Ya back home. When Granny Zhang saw them coming back, she immediately brought out the fish soup she had cooked and said, "Come and have some fish soup! Sister-in-law Murakami brought it specially for you to nourish your body today!"
Li Yan scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly: "Mother-in-law, I didn't do anything?"
The mother-in-law stuffed the bowl into Li Yan's hands: "This is a gift from your aunt, drink it while it's hot!"
Li Yan took the bowl, walked to the kitchen, took another bowl and shared half of the fish soup in her hand.
"Chun Ya, take it. You need some nourishment too!"
Chun Ya looked at her grandmother, and after Zhang nodded, she happily took the bowl!
