Hearing what Mr. Fan said, Gu Yunxi frowned slightly and looked at the potatoes placed in front of the grain shop, thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Mr. Fan hurriedly said, "Young Madam, don't worry. There will be many people coming to buy food later. I will ask the waiters to introduce them to the guests one by one."

"Maybe people don't know that these potatoes are edible, and they don't know how to eat them, so not many people buy them."

I have to say that Mr. Fan is very smart and he thought of the key issue right away.

Gu Yunxi naturally thought of it, and after a little thought, she said, "Manager Fan, how about this? Pick some smaller potatoes, have someone cook them in the backyard, and then bring them to the door for people to taste."

"Cooking potatoes is similar to cooking sweet potatoes. You can tell whether they are cooked by poking them with chopsticks. You can eat them only when they are cooked."

Gu Yunxi gave detailed instructions, and Mr. Fan heard it. He quickly agreed and told the servant in the shop to cook potatoes.

The waiter worked quickly and the fire got burning brightly. The small pot of potatoes was cooked quickly and was brought out in a round winnowing basket.

"Come, come, it's free to try. Don't miss it if you pass by. You'll miss it if you don't try it. You'll want to eat more after trying it!"

The waiter followed Gu Yunxi's instructions, stood at the door of the grain store, and shouted loudly: "Free potato samples, steaming hot and delicious potatoes!"

"Auntie, would you like to try one? Don't worry, it's free!"

As the first customer came over, he looked at it hesitantly, took the potato handed to him by the waiter, and under the waiter's instructions, slowly peeled the skin and took a bite.

Gradually, more and more people came to watch, and they all asked, "How is it? How is it? Can this be eaten?"

The first lady who tried it couldn't help but nodded: "Well, this thing is a little powdery, and the taste is a bit like sweet potato, but not like it."

"Oh, I don't know how to describe it. This is the first time I've tasted it!"

The old lady finished a potato in just a few bites, her eyes still fixed on the potatoes in the round winnowing basket held by the waiter, and she swallowed her saliva.

Seeing this, the onlookers rushed over and asked the waiter for some potatoes to try.

"Hey, hey, don't be anxious, one per person, first come, first served!" The waiter hurriedly entertained everyone and handed out the cooked potatoes one by one.

Those who got the potatoes followed the old lady's example and peeled the potatoes before eating them.

"Oh, this potato tastes really special. I've never eaten anything like it before. But it's quite delicious. It doesn't make you choke like sweet potatoes."

"Yes, I think it tastes good too. And this...potato, right? Even though I can finish one in just a few bites, it's still quite filling."

Everyone started talking about it, and many people were vying for the cooked potatoes from the store clerk.

But how could a basket of potatoes hold up to so many people coming to try them?

When the last potato was served, the waiter couldn't help but spread his hands and said, "No more, no more. Today's tasting is over. If you want to try tomorrow, come early. First come, first served!"

"You can also buy some potatoes from our food store and try them. They're not expensive, about the same price as sweet potatoes!"

The guy finally got to the point - selling potatoes!

When everyone heard this, they noticed the sacks of potatoes placed at the door of the grain store and hurriedly asked about the price. When they got a positive answer, they realized that potatoes were as cheap as sweet potatoes, so almost everyone bought several kilograms.

The waiter smiled as he packed the potatoes and introduced: "Ma'am, you can not only boil these potatoes directly, but also slice them and stir-fry them as a dish."

"If you have meat at home, you can stir-fry it with meat. It's delicious!"

The guy patiently repeated these words to almost every person who bought potatoes. Gu Yunxi watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh.

The clerk at the grain store was very eye-catching and good at entertaining customers, so she was completely relieved.

As more and more customers came in to buy potatoes, in less than half an hour, all the sacks of potatoes were sold out.

Mr. Fan kept using the abacus, never stopping for a moment, collecting money, keeping accounts, collecting money, and keeping accounts.

After all this trouble, Gu Yunxi felt exhausted.

She wondered, when will I hand over arithmetic to Mr. Fan? But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she quickly shook her head and denied the idea.

Now, only Achuan knows that she traveled through time, but Achuan is her husband and the father of three children, so naturally it is different.

Although I have been in contact with Mr. Fan for such a long time and have a very good impression of him, I still cannot completely trust him.

Forget it, forget it, alas!

Gu Yunxi watched Mr. Fan record the accounts, then sat down and looked at the account book carefully for a while. After confirming that the account book was correct, he nodded, explained some other things to Mr. Fan, and then left the grain shop.

Gu Yunxi took Xiao Cui and strolled on the street for a while. When they passed by a teahouse, they saw that it was very lively inside. They were a little curious and couldn't help but walk in.

It turns out that there are people telling stories in the teahouse! No wonder it is so lively!

It was the first time that Gu Yunxi heard someone telling a story, so he immediately pulled Xiao Cui to sit down, ordered a pot of tea, and listened carefully.

"It is said that the daughter of a rich family, unable to get the love she wanted, actually poisoned the man's wife, intending to kill her!"

The storyteller paused here.

Someone in the crowd suddenly became angry and shouted, "Ah...this rich lady, she is simply an ungrateful and ungrateful bastard!"

"Yes, that's right. That man shouldn't have saved her in the first place. Otherwise, he wouldn't have led the thief into the house and caused his wife to be poisoned by this ungrateful bastard!"

"It's so hard to be a good person in this world, alas..."

Gu Yunxi listened to everyone's discussions and slowly pieced together the story. It turned out that this was a story about a scholar who saved a rich girl on his way to an imperial examination, and the rich girl fell in love with the scholar.

When I first heard the previous story, I thought it was quite beautiful. However, what was surprising was that this scholar already had a wife and children at home.

Moreover, the scholar saved the rich young lady purely out of kindness. The scholar only had his wife in his heart and could not tolerate any other women in his eyes.

When the rich young lady found out about this, she was so angry that she chased the scholar to his home and poisoned his wife!

"Mr. Storyteller, please continue. What happened next?"

The storyteller took a short break during the intermission. The people watching in the teahouse had already become impatient and couldn't wait to know what would happen next.

Gu Yunxi pursed her lips. Her curiosity was aroused. She also wanted to know whether this good man would be rewarded.
