Chapter 244: Chapter 244 You two are really talented!_1

An Jing: "..." No wonder this person cried at every turn; it turns out he was still so young.

An Jing was silent for a good while before she said somewhat complicatedly, "Why are you so young?" Even though she felt that he should be young, she had not expected him to be younger than her current age.

And she and her husband had actually become friends with such a little kid...

Wang Youbao was somewhat baffled and asked, "Are you very old then?"

An Jing immediately said, "In three more months, I will be nineteen!"

"And Changyi, he...?" Wang Youbao looked towards Xiao Changyi, who had an expressionless face.

An Jing looked to the sky and said, "He’s twenty-four."

"So I’m the youngest," Wang Youbao actually laughed, "No wonder I’ve always felt like you’re the older brother and sister."

An Jing: "..." What older sister, she’s only a year older than he is now!

Before An Jing could speak, Wang Youbao noticed the grain rice and Stepping Dehusking Machine in the yard and promptly asked in amazement, "What are these?"

An Jing pointed with a hand, "That’s the grain rice." She pointed again, "That’s the Stepping Dehusking Machine, both are for husking rice."

Wang Youbao had only seen rice being pounded with a mortar and had never seen these kinds of agricultural tools, so he became even more interested, "Compared to using a mortar, how effective is it?"

An Jing said indifferently, "About three to forty times faster, I guess."

"That fast?!" Wang Youbao immediately looked shocked, his eyes wide. Then, with gleaming eyes, he asked, "Did you and Changyi come up with this together?"

"Mmm."

"You two really are talented! Have you considered selling these to make money?"

An Jing really wanted to roll her eyes at Wang Youbao; she could practically see the symbols of silver flashing in his eyes. True to a businessman, he could spot a business opportunity in anything.

"Haven’t considered it," An Jing replied truthfully.

Wang Youbao immediately said, "It’s not too late to consider it now. Right now, only your family has these, and since the grain rice and Stepping Dehusking Machine can husk rice so quickly, surely many people would want to buy them."

An Jing was speechless for two seconds, then said, "Making the Stepping Dehusking Machine is simple, but this grain rice, my husband and I spent a full eight days to make it well. The cost is quite expensive; ordinary farmers can’t afford it."

"Then sell it to rice shops!" Wang Youbao was quite excited, "The rice shops can definitely afford it! Common rice shops have their own rice-pounding workers, and if you sell it to them, they’ll definitely be able to husk rice faster and would reduce the number of people they hire to husk rice. The rice shops will definitely want to buy it!"

An Jing was actually not very enthusiastic about doing business. Moreover, in her view, as long as there was enough money, that was fine, and her family currently had more than seven taels of silver. As long as they didn’t spend excessively, they were genuinely fine for the time being.

This was why she was not currently doing the fermented bean curd business to make money, but instead focusing on clearing land for terraced fields.

Seeing Wang Youbao completely with a businessman’s demeanor, An Jing was quite speechless. She silently exchanged a look with her husband before saying to Wang Youbao, "We are currently clearing land and don’t intend to do any business."

Wang Youbao suppressed the urge to scold An Jing for her lack of ambition and said kindly, "This item is a rarity; the money you earn from selling one to the rice shops would probably be enough to buy you a lot of land."

His family owned so much land that he naturally knew how much land cost per mu. Precisely because he knew, he especially wanted An Jing and Xiao Changyi to do this business, as it would be much easier than clearing land.

Seeing that Wang Youbao was still trying to persuade her, An Jing knew that Wang Youbao had good intentions, and without getting angry, simply said, "Everyone has their own ideas. Right now, we don’t want to do business to earn money; we just want to clear the land."
