Chapter 926: Taste

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xuan grew increasingly eager to taste the taro rolls – she knew they would be delicious!

Shao Yunduan smiled and inquired, “It looks delicious. Do you have more taro? Would you be willing to sell some to me?”

The businessman was taken aback by the request. In his eyes, the taro was just an ordinary crop, like peanuts or potatoes. It was filling but not particularly flavorful. How good could it really be?

Shao Yunduan reassured him with a smile, “l simply want to try it for myself.”

Understanding the situation, the businessman realized that this man must have observed his own enjoyment of the food and now wanted to experience it for himself. It wouldn’t fetch much money, but he could sell a few rolls at least.

He was growing tired of it anyway.

The businessman responded with a genuine smile, “Alright, we have a few more rolls at the hostel. If you’d like to try them, I can sell them to you later. But I’ll sell them out soon.’

Shao Yunduan nodded appreciatively and asked for the location of the businessman’s residence, stating that he would visit him later.

Together, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan left, with Qiao Xuan obediently refraining from displaying her eagerness to obtain the taro rolls. Being too eager might drive up the price, and their objective was to maximize their profits.

After all, this was a simple transaction, and there was no need to pursue long-term benefits. They intended to make the most of the opportunity.

When evening arrived, Shao Yunduan and Songshi headed to the hostel as planned.

The businessman was taken aback but quickly regained his composure, smiling as he said, “Oh, you’re serious! I thought you were joking!’

Shao Yunduan chuckled, “l keep my word. I’m genuinely curious about the taste of taro, and I must try it. How much do you have? If you don’t mind, you can sell them all to me.’

He explained that his wife loved such delicacies and wanted to buy as many as possible.

The businessman, playing along as a fellow food enthusiast, laughed and agreed to Shao Yunduan’s proposition. He retrieved a bag from the guest room and said, “I only have 10 left. If you’d like them, you can give me 100 wen. It’s quite a rare price, isn’t it?”

Songshi took the bag from the businessman and opened it, while Shao Yunduan leaned in for a closer look.

The taro rolls were gray and about the size of goose eggs, with traces of mud on their surface. They appeared unremarkable and didn’t evoke much appetite.

The price of 100 wen was reasonable for Shao Yunduan, so after a moment of hesitation, he nodded and paid for the purchase. With the taro rolls in hand, he bid farewell to the businessman.

The businessman happily pocketed the 100 wen and chuckled to himself. They could enjoy some drinks tonight.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xuan anxiously awaited Shao Yunduan’s return. As soon as he walked in, she eagerly grabbed his sleeves, asking, “Darling, did you buy the taro rolls? Where are they?”

Shao Yunduan had initially planned to tease her, but seeing her genuine anxiety, he couldn’t bear to do so. He called for Songshi to bring the rolls and reassured her with a smile, “Yes, they’re all here. 1 bought them all!”

Qiao Xuan’s face lit up with joy. However, it seemed that there weren’t many rolls left.

She carefully placed the taro rolls on the table, counting them one by one. There were a total of 16, but perhaps due to the absence of cultivated potato varieties in this era, they were all relatively small in size..
