In another bowl, there are freshly made sweet potato cakes, each one is golden and crispy, exuding a sweet flavor.

The breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of fragrance, attracting passers-by to stop and look into the store curiously.

Brother Liu and his wife stood outside the shop in high spirits, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Don't miss it if you're passing by! Fresh, delicious, tasty, and affordable sweet potato noodles! And soft and sticky sweet potato noodle cakes!"

Seeing someone approaching, Brother Liu called out, "Fellow villagers, come and try some! Our sweet potato noodles are smooth and chewy, leaving a lasting aftertaste. These sweet potato noodle cakes are both affordable and filling. One bite will keep you energized all day!"

Mrs. Liu also agreed, "Yes, yes! We use real ingredients here, and they're all handmade. The taste is amazing! You can eat a full and delicious meal for just a few dollars! Best of all, it's cheaper than rice."

Their shouts echoed in the streets, attracting more and more passers-by to gather around curiously.

A nimble woman skillfully placed the cooked sweet potato noodles into a bowl, then expertly added seasonings. She then handed the bowl over with a smile on her face, saying enthusiastically, "You can try it first. If you like it, buy it. If not, it's free!"

A scholar in a long gown in the crowd heard the words "If it's not tasty, it's free." His eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly walked over to take the bowl. He said with a somewhat skeptical tone, "You mean if it's not tasty, it's free?"

Brother Liu smiled and replied, "Yes, if it doesn't taste good, we won't charge you. Feel free to try it, sir. Honesty is the foundation of our business!"

The scholar thought to himself: It’s free anyway, it might as well be a waste if I don’t eat it.

His brow furrowed slightly. His wife had asked him to go out and buy some rice today, but the price had risen to eighty wen. He looked down at his purse, feeling even more annoyed. He muttered to himself, "I only have a hundred wen on me, and even that little rice isn't enough to eat."

Thinking of this, his eyes fell on the sweet potato noodles in his hand again, and he thought to himself: If these sweet potatoes are really as delicious and cheap as they say, then I can buy some back home. Not only can it let my wife and children taste something new, but it can also satisfy their hunger, which is better than going hungry.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the scholar took the first bite of the sweet potato noodles with a little nervousness.

At that moment, his eyes suddenly widened and his lips trembled slightly, as if he was hit by a wonderful feeling.

The sweet potato noodles were chewy and smooth. Once they entered his mouth, they slid into his throat as smoothly as silk. The wonderful taste made him feel as if he was in a fairyland.

Then, he couldn't wait to take the second and third bites. Each bite brought him new surprises and satisfaction. He couldn't stop at all. His mouth was full. The rich, spicy and delicious soup blended perfectly with the sweet potato noodles, making him unable to stop.

In the end, the scholar devoured the bowl of sweet potato noodles in a whirlwind of time, even finishing off the soup. Seeing him like this, the people around him couldn't help but burst into laughter.

A noblewoman dressed in brocade slowly approached, surrounded by her maids. Seeing the scholar wolfing down his food, the corners of her carefully painted mouth curled up slightly, her eyes filled with contempt, and she said in a shrill voice, "Hmph, just a poor scholar who has never seen the world, eating like this is really unbecoming."

Mrs. Liu quickly handed the mixed sweet potato flour to the lady and said with a smile, "Madam, please try it too. If it's not tasty, it's free."

The scholar snorted coldly, his face flushed red, and he said loudly: "Since you say I have never seen the world, then try it yourself! After all, the delicious taste of this sweet potato noodle is beyond the comprehension of someone like you!"

The woman took the bowl with disdain and said, "Eat it if you want. I've eaten countless delicacies from land and sea. How can this kind of coarse food be any better?"

The lady held her head high with an arrogant look, not taking the sweet potato noodles seriously at all.

The lady frowned, pinched her nose with disgust, and reluctantly picked up a piece of sweet potato flour with chopsticks and put it carefully into the corner of her mouth.

In an instant, she felt as if she was electrocuted and was stunned for a moment. She seemed to see her first love, and the sweet, beautiful and slightly shy feeling surged in her heart.

Then, no longer caring about her image, she impatiently took a second and third mouthful of sweet potato noodles. Her movements became faster and more anxious, and her originally dignified demeanor was completely thrown out of the window.

At this moment, the lady was completely immersed in this unique delicacy. She ignored the gazes of the people around her and just kept eating.

Finally, the lady devoured the sweet potato noodles in her bowl at an astonishing speed. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, licked her lips with a satisfied blush on her face, and was completely different from her previous arrogant and dismissive look.

The people watching were shocked by this scene. Their mouths opened wide, their eyes widened, and they murmured in disbelief: "Is this... is this really that delicious?"

They looked at each other in disbelief. They had originally just been there to watch the fun, but now their hearts were filled with curiosity and suspicion.

Seeing this, Sister Liu and the women from Futian Village quickly and deftly put the cooked sweet potato noodles into bowls and enthusiastically handed them over, saying with a smile, "It's okay, everyone can try it! If it doesn't taste good, it's free! If you think it's still to your liking, we have more in the store, so please come in and buy it!"

For a moment, voices rose one after another from the crowd.

"Give me a bowl too!"

"I'll try it too!"

The atmosphere was extremely lively, with people reaching out their hands to take the tempting sweet potato noodles, wanting to personally experience this amazing delicacy.

After tasting, people were silent for a while, and then burst into amazement.

"Oh my god! This is so delicious!"

"What a delicacy! I've never eaten anything so delicious!"

"It's truly incredible! I never thought that in this famine year, when people everywhere are short of food and clothing, there would be such delicious food!"

"Yeah, yeah! I thought it was good enough to fill my stomach, but who would have thought that this sweet potato noodle could be so delicious!"

Everyone was talking about it and praising the sweet potato noodles.

The scholar put down the empty bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth, and asked anxiously, "It's so delicious, I wonder how much it costs?"

For a moment, the scene became quiet and everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for Sister Liu's answer.
