The store was now selling raw sweet potatoes, unlike the roasted ones previously sold, and they were not as evenly sized as the roasted ones. Hence, the selling method had changed, they were sold by weight now, three coins per catty.

In this way, raw sweet potatoes were somewhat cheaper than roasted ones, making them affordable for the general public.

The price of rice, however, was relatively higher. One peck was priced at one hundred coins, significantly more expensive than the sixty coins per peck priced in other rice shops in the county.

Yet, the store employees explained that their variety of rice was different and superior to common rice, being more fragrant and chewy.

The general public would not buy this kind of rice, as their priority was to keep hunger at bay, seeking value for money rather than taste.
