"Oh, these? These are the white rice that Dan Feng grew," the landlady explained with a smile when Mayibeia asked.
"Eh? White rice?" Mayibeia curiously opened one of the burlap sacks in front of her. Inside were countless crystal-clear, plump grains of white rice, like pearls.
"I've never eaten white rice before. I wonder what the texture will be like?" As Mayibeia spoke, she couldn't help reaching into the sack and scooping out a handful of white rice. She carefully felt their texture, experiencing the smooth and delicate touch.
"I'm not sure either. I haven't even tried it myself yet, but we can look forward to it. Dan Feng is already cooking in the kitchen," Roxy quickly finished the apple pie in her hands, shook her head, and then wiped the remaining crumbs from the corners of her mouth with her hand.
"Dan Feng is actually cooking? Then I really have to look forward to it!" Upon hearing this, Mayibeia's already bright eyes instantly lit up even more, as if she could already imagine the fragrant white rice.
However, at that moment, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind Mayibeia and gently knocked on her head.
"Ow!" Mayibeia cried out in pain and turned around to see Galdaruf standing behind her with a serious expression.
"What was that for?" Mayibeia's face showed a trace of grievance as she looked at Galdaruf in confusion.
"You, don't get your hopes up too much. You can't eat too much. It's not good for your body or the child who's about to be born," Galdaruf said earnestly.
"Oh, then I'll just eat a little less."
...
By the time Dan Feng brought all the dishes and the fragrant white rice to the table, Mayibeia still couldn't hold back in the end.
Her gaze was tightly fixed on the bowl of snow-white rice in front of her. Then Mayibeia carefully picked up the bowl of white rice and examined it closely.
Those crystal-clear grains of rice gave off a faint rice aroma, making her nose twitch slightly.
She took a deep breath, savoring the fresh fragrance, then unhesitatingly picked up a spoon, scooped up a mouthful, and put it into her mouth.
When the warm rice touched Mayibeia's tongue, her eyes suddenly widened.
That warm sensation, carrying a rich rice aroma, surged through her mouth.
She gently chewed, feeling the rice grains rubbing between her teeth. Her saliva dissolved the starch of the white rice, releasing a faint hint of sweetness.
This texture and this taste made Mayibeia completely entranced.
Compared to this white rice, those mixed-grain rices were simply insignificant and completely incomparable.
"Delicious!" Mayibeia couldn't help but exclaim in praise. A trace of surprise flashed through her beautiful eyes.
This white rice was already so delicious without any side dishes. If paired with the dishes Dan Feng made, wouldn't it be even more delicious?
Mayibeia's hand unconsciously reached for the stir-fried meat Dan Feng had made. She couldn't wait to taste what these dishes tasted like when eaten together with the white rice.
However, just as her spoon was about to touch the stir-fried meat, an invisible force suddenly stopped her movement.
"Mayibeia, don't use the spoon you've already used," Dan Feng's calm voice came over. There was no blame in his tone, only a light reminder.
"Oh, right! I almost forgot!" Mayibeia smiled embarrassedly, then picked up the spoon from the dish plate and prepared to use it to take food.
After all, they hadn't learned how to use chopsticks yet. Using a fork felt weird, so they simply used spoons.
Seeing that Mayibeia had already started eating heartily, the others also prepared to enjoy this lavish meal.
The meal didn't last long. In fact, it could be said to have been quite fast.
There was no other reason—the white rice was simply too delicious!
The snow-white, jade-like white rice, paired with the side dishes Dan Feng had carefully prepared, greatly stimulated everyone's appetite.
Everyone's appetite was aroused by this delicious white rice and tasty dishes. Their portions increased, and naturally, they ate faster.
"Wow, this white rice is really delicious! If we sold it, we could definitely make a lot of money!" Mayibeia said with satisfaction after eating, unable to help but exclaim in admiration.
"Mm, what Mayi said makes sense!" the landlady nodded in agreement. "But Dan Feng probably doesn't have much stock, right? I'm afraid it won't be possible to sell it in large quantities."
The landlady's words were met with everyone's agreement. After all, the taste of this white rice was indeed several times better than ordinary mixed-grain rice.
In this relatively peaceful era, although the people of Millishion could eat their fill every day, their pursuit of quality of life was also growing. Something like this white rice, which they had never seen before and had such outstanding texture, would naturally attract people's attention and love.
At this point, Dan Feng and Roxy exchanged a glance. Then Dan Feng said calmly, "Stock isn't something to worry about. The method Mayibeia mentioned is indeed feasible, but Roxy and I can't stay in Millishion every day."
"So, if possible, we can cooperate." Dan Feng's words carried a sense of confidence and anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Mayibeia's face showed a trace of confusion. She blinked and asked in puzzlement, "Eh? How would we cooperate?"
A rough plan had already taken shape in Dan Feng's mind.
With the quality of Dan Feng's white rice, it would cause a sensation and sell extremely well no matter where it was placed.
The key lay in pricing and the choice of sales channels.
After careful consideration, the plan in Dan Feng's mind gradually became clear.
He decided that he would be responsible for mass-producing this high-quality white rice and then hand it over to Mayibeia for sales.
Not only that, Dan Feng also thought of cooperating with the landlady's tavern to turn this tavern into a tavern-restaurant.
In this way, Dan Feng only needed to split the profits with Mayibeia, and he himself could take a larger share.
Then, Dan Feng and Roxy would not only achieve financial freedom but would also never again have to waste time going to the Red Dragon's nest for money.
Dan Feng explained his idea in detail to everyone present. They were already stunned. They had never imagined that a simple cooperation proposal could bring such enormous commercial potential.
"I was just saying it casually. We can actually make a lot of money from this!" Mayibeia said in surprise, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Mm, there's no rush. Wait until you've given birth first," Dan Feng said slowly.
"Okay! If we can really make money, then Galdaruf won't have to go adventuring anymore!" Mayibeia looked at Galdaruf beside her, her eyes full of affection.
Galdaruf also responded to Mayibeia.
"There they go again," Roxy said slowly as she watched their reactions.
Just like that, Mayibeia readily accepted Dan Feng's proposal and obtained the sales agency rights for white rice in Millishion from then on.
