Chapter 1624 - 1623: What You Eat Is What You Gain
Sweet potatoes are one tael silver per jin, and if processed into snacks, the price will at least multiply by five.
However, even if the price multiplies by five, there will be buyers. As long as you taste it, you can tell that these sweet potatoes are made by Qiao Xiaomai. Since when were Qiao Xiaomai’s products ever cheap?
Compared to the thousands of taels for Floral Dew, this small dish of sweet potato balls for five taels silver is cheap enough to make them cry!
It’s just five taels. Buy, buy, buy, they must buy, not only while watching the shadow puppet theater but also when leaving.
But this is impossible. The theater has a rule that these sweet potato balls and sweet potato cakes are sold only at the theater. If you want to eat them, come to the theater to watch the show!
Watch the show!
Anyway, there’s nothing else serious going on!
In autumn, it is the busiest season for farmers, as they must race against time to harvest crops. But for the nobles in the Capital City, this isn’t different from any other day.
After decades of work by Yang Wenxiao, almost all officials in Daqi are selected through the Imperial Examination. These aristocratic families no longer hold official positions, and those with ability do some business, while those without ability idly enjoy themselves, focusing daily on pleasure.
