The lotus root starch was officially put on sale at Gu's Eatery. Zhao Yan set the price at one tael of silver per bowl. Manager Xu hesitated to speak, as in his view, the pricing was far too high. He had originally planned to let it run for a few days before trying to persuade Zhao Yan to change his mind, but within three days, he was proven wrong.
The lotus root starch was in such high demand that it immediately went out of stock.
To ensure the lotus root starch would be an instant success, Zhao Yan had done a significant amount of preparatory work. He had posted advertisements outside the eatery detailing the benefits of the product, embellishing its qualities slightly while still remaining grounded in reality.
