Li Yan carried the food and followed the shopkeeper to the second floor.
Qian Wang frowned as he looked at the two desserts in front of him.
He took a bite of the sweet potato pancake first, then put the unfinished one aside.
It just has a little more flavor than white flour pancakes, and is similar to those sweet pastries at home!
Qian Wang tried another piece of candied sweet potato, which was too sweet and greasy, not to his taste.
Qian Wang put down his chopsticks and said to Li Yan, "That's it?"
Li Yan saw that he didn't seem to be interested in these foods. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Maybe you don't like sweets, Master Qian. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean the diners don't like them! You can ask someone else to try!"
Qian Wang didn't think of refuting Li Yan's words for a moment!
Looking at the silent Qian Wang, Li Yan quickly got to the point. If she annoyed him, her purpose this time would be ruined.
In this unfamiliar county, Li Yan only knows Qian Wang, the big money bagman. She has to find a way to get some money from him!
Li Yan handed a plate of cut raw sweet potatoes to Qian Wang and said, "The two dishes we just mentioned are made from this. How about giving it a try, Young Master Qian?"
Qian Wang picked up a piece of sweet potato slice, took a bite and said, "It's just okay!"
Li Yan: "If I tell you it's very productive, yielding over a thousand kilograms per acre, would Master Qian still be interested?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Wang sat up straight and signaled Li Yan to continue.
Li Yan: "Not only does this thing yield a thousand kilograms per mu, it's also very easy to grow. It can grow on mountaintops or in wasteland! If we bring this thing back to the northwest, I wonder how many food crises it can solve! I just don't know if General Xing is interested!"
Qian Wang narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but look at Li Yan. Suddenly he laughed out loud: "What a clever little girl!"
Qian Wang was often with Xing Yun, so he was very familiar with the situation of the Northwest Army.
The military pay allocated by the court in recent years has been exploited at every level, and it is pitifully small when it reaches General Qin's hands. If General Qin had not found ways to make money to supplement his salary, many soldiers would have starved and fled, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy and defend the country!
If this thing can also produce such high yields in the Northwest, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the Northwest Army, which has a food shortage every year!
Qian Wang: "Talk to the villagers tomorrow. I want all of this!"
Li Yan: "I'm afraid we can't take all of it. Besides the 3,000 kilograms I want, the villagers will probably have to keep some for their own homes to get through the winter!"
"Then I'll send the shopkeeper to go to Chenjia Village with you tomorrow!"
After the two of them happily discussed it, Li Yan looked at the food on the table that had barely been touched and asked, "Are you still going to eat this?"
Qian Wang: "I don't like sweets. If you don't mind, you can have it yourself!"
Li Yan happily carried the food back to the room.
At this time, Lin Feng was sitting at the table in the room, slowly drinking tea from the cup.
Seeing Li Yan coming back, he looked up and asked, "How did you meet Mr. Qian?"
Li Yan told Lin Feng about her past experience selling her house at Piaoxianglou. Li Yan said, "I didn't expect to meet Young Master Qian here. We were lucky to have him help us with the farce at the dock. Otherwise, we might have suffered."
Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder, "Why would he stand up for us? Your relationship with him shouldn't be this close!"
Li Yan smiled, sat down next to Lin Feng, and placed the two plates of food on the table. "I told him about the high-yield crops in Chen Village. I'm afraid he's more worried about those sweet potatoes than anyone else right now!"
