People who come to eat just need to bring their own eating utensils, and they get a free spoonful of salted vegetable.
The salted vegetable isn't worth much, but the thing is, something you get for free is pure profit.
The most important thing is, the salted vegetable has a salty taste.
Salt, in this era, is truly valuable.
Salt merchants are all from wealthy families.
Of course, behind these salt merchants are the court and many nobility.
Manual laborers do physical work, sweat a lot, so their demand for oil and salt when eating is really high.
Yuan Yindi set up this cheap food shop really considering the needs of the laborers.
And as Yuan Family's Cheap Food Shop became popular, followers emerged.
