The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

At the market.

Jia Daoshi strolled along the street.

He walked slowly, his eyes scanning the streets on either side.

He observed very carefully, noticing every shop, every stall, the peddlers, the wandering knights, the martial arts practitioners, and even the minor officials on the street!

He pondered in his mind these people's usual spending habits and various needs.

As he wandered around, Jia Daoshi became somewhat bewildered.

He discovered that all his marketing knowledge from his previous life, as well as the industry he had worked in, was almost useless here. The Great Jing Dynasty had no shortage of labor, and craftsmen were everywhere. It would be quite difficult to start a project that could make money immediately.

He considered selling cigarettes, but at that time, tobacco didn't seem to exist yet.

Beer, soap, matches?

needs time.

After much thought, Jia Daoshi felt that all he could do was sell more food.

People eat for food.

Having more products not only increases sales but also enhances the ability to withstand market risks.

His grilled fish business is doing well right now, and launching a new product before other competitors can figure out his recipe is a very good choice.

However, deciding what new products to create is also a problem.

Jia Daoshi frowned and slowly walked forward.

Behind them, Murong Jiu and Di Qinglin bought some glutinous rice cakes from the roadside and ate them.

Girls, their favorite food is sweets.

On both sides of the street, there were stalls selling eggs, flatbreads, spring platters, wontons...

However, Jia Daoshi's attention was eventually drawn to a small stall!

The owner of this stall was a young woman, similar in appearance to Murong Jiu. Her clothes were patched and worn, but very clean and tidy. Her black hair was simply tied up with a black wooden stick, without a single stray hair falling out.

What was placed in front of her was actually corn on the cob!

These corn cobs had been dried and were piled up like a small mountain in front of her!

Moreover, Jia Daoshi discovered that this corn cob was different from the ones he had eaten before; it was shorter and smaller, and had a very strong sheen!

This kind of corn—it's actually Bursting Pearl Corn!

This type of corn likely originated in the Americas. According to historical records, it was introduced to the Qing Dynasty much later, and even then, not many people cultivated it.

But in the Great Jing Dynasty, which doesn't exist in history at all, there are actually exploding pearl corn!

You should know that this kind of corn is specifically made into popcorn!

Thinking of this, Jia Daoshi stopped and walked to the stall, picked up a corncob, and looked up to ask, "How much is this corncob?"

The young woman's stall was deserted; she hadn't had a single customer for a long time. She hadn't expected anyone to be interested in the corn on the cob, so she immediately said, "One coin... three and a half jin!"

The last few words, "little woman," were almost spoken through gritted teeth.

Jia Daoshi didn't say anything, but instead picked up the corncob and began to examine it.

It's definitely a bursting pearl corn.

"My lord, you want to buy corn on the cob?" Murong Jiu asked, somewhat surprised.

Corn on the cob was not a staple food for the people of the Great Jing Dynasty. It was not among the five grains, and there were few farmers who grew corn.

The main reason was that the corn in that dynasty didn't taste good!

The taste of this food is not as good as that of fox nuts!

Some doctors treat corn cobs directly as medicine, without considering their nutritional value.

Seeing that Jia Daoshi seemed to hesitate, the young woman immediately added, "The price I'm selling it for is already very cheap. Others are selling it for three catties for one coin!"

"So what if it's cheap? The corn kernels are too small, and the flour made from it is coarse. It tastes dry and not good at all!"

Before Jia Daoshi could speak, Di Qinglin interrupted.
