Autumn arrived swiftly. After the first pot of chrysanthemums at the nursing home turned yellow at the tips, the Agricultural Specialty Store's business, which had initially seen a cold reception, gradually found its own customer base and eventually achieved stable operations.
The store's main product—signature sweet potatoes—saw a price adjustment after a bumper harvest, with varieties of both local and non-local sweet potatoes appearing on the market, causing a slight impact on sales.
Fortunately, Zhuo Feng and her husband swiftly adjusted their strategy and processed the unsold sweet potatoes into sweet potato flour, and also produced small canned goods pickled with sweet potato leaves.
The customer source of the Agricultural Specialty Store also shifted slightly. Even some nearby restaurants began to specifically use their sweet potato flour, saying it was particularly good for thickening sauces or making glutinous rice balls.
