Bab 250: Be More Generous

People started asking about the price, and Gu Zi replied, "20 cents per catty. You can have it for breakfast, eat it while working in the fields when you're hungry, especially the kids love it. It's a healthier and more economical snack for children compared to spicy snacks like la tiao."

Li Zhu's mother and Zhang Cuihua secretly admired Gu Zi's articulate way of speaking. After she mentioned this, they both wanted to buy another catty (half a kilogram).

However, other villagers, not knowing the specific taste, were still hesitant to buy. They thought, "Fermented cakes, why so expensive? We can make them at home ourselves. With this price, we could buy a catty of rice; it doesn't seem cost-effective."

"Yeah, it'd be nice if it were cheaper." The people around also started chiming in. If it were cheaper, they would buy some just to show respect to Su Shen.
