Chapter 880: A Flash of Inspiration

reached Kyoto.The Kyoto Pier was larger than any pier I had docked at before. There were no wars or refugees here.Although the common people passing through weren't dressed in fine silks and robes, th...Jia Yin looked at the young daughter-in-law and thought she seemed familiar. She guessed that she might be the wife of one of the guards, so she smiled and asked, "Daughter-in-law, tell me, what troubles you"

When the young daughter-in-law saw that Jia Yin was so amiable, she let out a sigh of relief and said, "Princess, it's cold in winter, and there are fewer people buying noodles. The work in the workshop is also scarce."

“We get a bit restless every day, wondering if the county princess could help us come up with some small business ideas”

"Before the year ends, let's add a few more things to our home..."

Having said that, she was afraid Jia Yin might misunderstand, so she quickly waved her hand and added, "If there's no suitable small business, it's okay. We... we can prepare New Year's goods at home as well."

Seeing her so sincere, Jia Yin couldn't help but smile.

Looking at the others, they all had hopeful faces as well, including Xiao Cui. It was clear that everyone wanted to make more money.

She thought for a moment and said, "There should be a lot of business opportunities, but I need to find something with low cost and quick returns. I haven't found anything promising yet."

"Alright, you guys wait here for a moment. I'll go think about it. When I have a result, I'll come back and discuss it with you."

"Okay, thank you, Your Highness!"

The young daughter-in-law and the women all burst into smiles and unanimously agreed.

They had a kind of blind trust in the county princess. Whatever she said, they believed it, not questioning for a moment that it might be mere polite platitudes.

Jia Yin suddenly felt overwhelmed, waved her hand and got into the car, heading back to the village.

In the courtyard of the old house, Granny Lin was talking to the cook at the entrance of the kitchen. Suddenly, seeing their master return, they both stepped forward to pay their respects.

Jia Yin smiled and asked, "Grandma, what are you busy with Hasn't anything happened at home these days"

"No, no, everything is fine." Nanny Lin hurriedly replied, and then holding the basin in her hand, she said a little embarrassedly: "The old slave thought about germinating bean sprouts with Master Yang, but unfortunately, half of them rotted."

Cook Yang Jiu was a fat man, smiling sheepishly, "I saw Huifu in the backyard growing bean sprouts before, it seemed so easy. I didn't expect that when I did it myself, I realized there was a lot of knowledge involved."

Jia Yin peered into the basin. It was filled with about half a bowl of yellow beans. Some had sprouted tiny white shoots, while others were black and partially rotten.

Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with delight, "Oh my, isn't this a great business opportunity with low costs and quick returns"

Grandmother Lin and Master Yang didn't understand what was going on, but Shuiyun and Shuiling remembered the requests from those women in the second village just now.

Both were delighted. Shuiling said, “That’s right, Miss. We can sell bean sprouts!”

"Shui Yun nodded repeatedly, "A jin of beans can produce eight jin of bean sprouts, a thousandfold profit!"

These bean sprouts were specially taught to Jia Xi and Jia An by Jia Yin before they went out to sea.

Hoping to provide them with some vegetables on their long voyage, adding some nutrition.

As a result, Huiniang was standing nearby and learned after hearing just a few sentences. Occasionally, she would grow a few batches of bean sprouts and send some to various places.

After all, our family never runs out of vegetables to eat. Eating bean sprouts is just a change of taste.

But there's no one selling outside!

Or perhaps for the whole Tianwu it's definitely something new, on a winter day like this it must be a good deal.

"What's the price of a jin of soybeans and mung beans now" Jia Yin asked.

Yang Chuzhi immediately replied, “One jin of yellow beans is three wen, and one jin of green beans is four wen.”

Jia Yin quickly calculated and became even happier, "Shuǐyún, go to the village head's house.

"I remember my master also taught Auntie Wu how to sprout bean sprouts. If there are any ready-made ones, just ask for some back."

"This evening, I'll personally cook a dish and help secure a big client."

Suiyun readily agreed and went out the door.

When the good news came, she changed into her everyday clothes. Shui Yun really returned with a pot of bean sprouts in hand.

Half of it is mung bean sprouts, and the other half is soybean sprouts. They are all plump and tender...

In the evening, Lord Hou and Li Lao Er and Mr. Wen returned home from the city as promised, only to find their house bustling with activity.

The village head and his wife, along with several elder gentlemen like Zhao Shushu, even Liu the鏢頭 were all present.

They were a little puzzled, but didn't think much of it, assuming that Jiayin just preferred having more people over for dinner to make things livelier.

As a result, the dishes arrived one after another. The pièce de résistance was surprisingly two plates of bean sprouts.

A plate is stir-fried mixed vegetables, using mung bean sprouts, eggs, chives and vermicelli. The colors are bright, crisp and tender, just looking at it makes you feel hungry.

The other dish was stir-fried bean sprouts, using only bean sprouts and dried chili peppers with vinegar. Just smelling the aroma, you know it must be sour, spicy and refreshing.

Li Lao'er, guessing that his niece must have something on her mind, jokingly asked, "What's the matter, Fu Niuer Your grandma just left and life at home is already unbearable. Are you eating beans to stave off hunger"

Everyone started laughing along.

The village head also chimed in, "Oh come on, it can't be that bad. I still have over a hundred taels there. I'll bring them all tomorrow to buy meat for the princess!"

Jia Yin giggled and gave the Marquis a serving of stir-fried mixed vegetables with her chopsticks. Then, she beckoned everyone to eat, saying, "Oh, Second Uncle, Village Head, these two dishes of bean sprouts are made by me personally. Please try them first and tell me how they taste"

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and reached for the two plates of bean sprouts.

I have to say, Jia Yin's skills are pretty good.

Mr. Wen praised, "If there were rice porridge and steamed buns, paired with these two dishes of bean sprout vegetables, it would definitely be more suitable."

The Marquis also nodded, looking at Jia Yin and silently inquiring about her intentions.

Jia Yin quickly said, "Father-in-law, what kind of dishes do they usually eat at the military camp on the pier, cabbage, potatoes and radishes

"Would you like to add some bean sprouts for a change of taste"

Everyone was stunned, and then they understood. Jiayin had set her sights on the bean sprout business, and she wanted to land the biggest client right away.

But the marquis was very puzzled!

Every day, the fruit and vegetable stall is selling well. The hot pot restaurant also opened soon. Jia Yin should look down on such a small business...

Jia Yin, without waiting for them to ask, said: "The aunts from the Second Village said that they were bored and wanted to do some small business to supplement their income."

"I suddenly saw bean sprouts and remembered that this business is not bad."

"A jin of yellow beans costs three cash, and yields eight jin of bean sprouts. Even if the bean sprouts are sold at two cash per jin, there would still be thirteen cash in profit."

"If the military camp needs one or two thousand catties a day, Xiankelai and other restaurants sell a thousand catties. Plus, with so many people in the new capital city eating vegetables, selling another two thousand catties wouldn't be difficult."

This adds up to four or five thousand jin a day, with a profit of five or six liang.

"It's not a lot, but over a month it's more than one hundred taels, enough for the aunts in the two villages to use every day.

"

"Even when bean sprouts become popular and everyone is used to eating them, there will be more ways to eat them, and sales will definitely increase! This profit margin can still be increased!"

"The most important thing is that growing bean sprouts is particularly easy. You just need some baskets and beans, and you're done with watering them every day. It doesn't interfere with any household chores, and even children can do it!"

Jia Yin grew more and more excited as she spoke, finally looking at everyone with an eager expression, hoping for praise.

One look from each person to the other, and there was a shared sense of surprise and admiration.

Sometimes they can be really strange, little Jia Yin's mind is beyond me.

It's not easy for a grown man to earn enough, two or three taels of silver, to support his family.

She actually just randomly thought of two dishes and can earn over a hundred taels per month!

This is something that would make so many people envious!just chat as friends, how about that"Hearing him be so candid, Li Laer didn't seem angry at all. He said, "Please ask Dr. Zhou to dismiss everyone else."The director was stunned, and his heart skipped...
