Everyone turned their eyes to the pretty girl coming down the stairs. She was smiling with her eyebrows curved and looked very approachable!
The guests came to their senses and realized that it was the county lady herself who was speaking, and they hurriedly stood up and bowed to greet her.
"No need to be so polite, everyone!"
The diners were very excited to see Li Yan. Among them were people from Suzhou City and merchants who had come here from far away to make a living.
Their lives changed because of Li Yan's arrival, and their days became better and better, and they became more and more hopeful.
Seeing how approachable Li Yan was, one of the merchants, thinking back to their previous conversation, couldn't help but ask, "County Lady Li, I heard you're selling these vermicelli noodles?"
The diners in the lobby all looked at Li Yan, waiting for her next reply.
Li Yan nodded, "It's for sale! If you're interested, you can go to Li's Grocery and take a look!"
The diners couldn't help but cheer, and some even couldn't wait to eat and ran back to discuss the matter with their companions!
Originally, such delicious crops could only be tasted in Suzhou City. Now that Li Ji was going to sell them publicly, they had to bring some back with them!
Once these vermicelli spreads through the hands of these merchants, who knows how many caravans will flock to this border area next year!
In fact, this is also an inducement to attract foreign merchants to Suzhou City!
As the imperial court vigorously promoted sweet potato planting, the people of Suzhou also started planting sweet potatoes this year!
Just planting two or three acres of land can yield thousands of kilograms of harvest, which was unimaginable in the past!
If you plant too much and can't eat it all, you can dry it into sweet potato chips in the winter, and then add it to porridge when there is a shortage of food. It tastes very good.
The only drawback is that if too many are planted, the sweet potatoes will not be very valuable.
Looking at the sweet potatoes piled up like a small mountain at home, I feel satisfied but also a little regretful!
It's truly a sweet burden.
When Li Yan heard about this, she built a vermicelli workshop outside the city and actively bought sweet potatoes from the people!
The sweet potatoes in the hands of the people used to be unsellable, but now one acre of sweet potatoes can be sold for three taels of silver. Everyone was grinning from ear to ear!
Some of the smart ones called their nephews and nephews, pushed a wooden cart to other counties and towns to collect sweet potatoes, and then sold them to Li Yan.
You can earn two or three cents in one trip!
Today's Suzhou City is no longer a desolate place where people are displaced and suffer from hunger and cold.
Here are opportunities, hope and a bright future!
