Chapter 1820

Chapter 1820: Promoting Potatoes Chapter 1820: Promoting Potatoes Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Yunduan chuckled and drew her into his embrace, gently patting her shoulders.

“Yes, sleep.” Qiao Xuan’s lips curled into a contented smile.

The familiar comfort of his chest provided a sense of security, and soon she drifted back into slumber.

Taking advantage of the momentum, the day following Anan’s one-month-old banquet, the potatoes were launched onto the market.

With the advantage of their own territory, there was no need for cumbersome procedures or stall arrangements.

Under Songshi’s guidance, four potato sales points were strategically positioned in bustling areas across the city center.

Two days into the sale, a simple cooking setup was added beside each point.

Potatoes were prepared on-site, offering passersby free samples cooked in various styles.

The display showcased the versatility of potatoes in culinary creations.

Every two hours, fresh batches of complimentary dishes were prepared: potato pancakes, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried potato cubes, potato slices, steamed potatoes, and more, including a daily serving of deep-fried potatoes.

Sold at a modest price of four copper coins per catty, the potatoes were limited to ten catties per purchase, with a maximum of twenty catties allowed for wealthy families or restaurants.

Those desiring more had to join the queue once again.

Furthermore, it was made clear that the supply was limited, and once sold out, customers would have to wait until the next year.

Qiao Xuan had anticipated skepticism from the commoners and expected a challenging promotional effort, thus necessitating a gradual acceptance strategy.

To her surprise, the process unfolded remarkably smoothly.

Generous purchases came from the affluent families who had sampled the potatoes at Anan’s banquet, while well-informed restaurants swiftly followed suit.

Observing this trend, other establishments quickly jumped on the bandwagon.

The commoners held Lord Shao in high esteem for his integrity, and the Shao Family’s products, being reasonably priced, found favor among them.

As queues lengthened, others instinctively joined in without hesitation, recognizing the popularity and value of the product.

From 2,000 mu of land, approximately 4,500 catties of potatoes were harvested, totaling around 9,000,000 catties.

Qiao Xuan retained seeds for future cultivation on the same land and set aside a portion as gifts, mainly in gratitude for contributions from Zheng Sangge and others.

The remaining half was divided between Anze Prefecture City and 17 surrounding towns.

In less than ten days, nearly 9,000,000 catties of potatoes were swiftly sold out.

These gestures of generosity were warmly received by scribes and bailiffs, garnering praise for Lord and Madam Shao.

Upon bringing the potatoes home, families wasted no time in preparing and relishing them.

Whether stir-fried, stewed, or prepared in other ways, the taste proved exceptional.

The following day, conversations buzzed within the government office as many shared their enthusiasm.

Families flocked to the market early to secure their share, drawn by the delicious, practical, and affordably priced product.

The buzz around potatoes quickly enveloped the entire city.

Restaurants experienced a surge in potato orders, with almost every table opting to sample the versatile tuber.

However, notably absent from the buyers’ list was the Fan family.

Fearful of Old Lady Fan’s disapproval, no member of the Fan family dared to purchase the potatoes, as it was Madam Shao who introduced them to the city during Lord Shao’s baby’s one-month-old banquet.
