Chapter 341 Red Bean Tea Sold

If the people on Amazon Lily were initially skeptical about the effects of red bean tea, their doubts were dispelled in just two hours.

Because the effects of the red bean tea have started to appear!

Among the tea drinkers was a soldier who had been on night watch. She had originally planned to watch the commotion and then go to sleep, but after drinking a few sips of coffee, she found herself unable to feel sleepy for quite some time.

Many people have experienced the effect of being full of energy. Everyone exercises in their spare time, and each person knows how long they can exercise and what their condition is.

People who drink red bean tea can feel that they are in better condition and can last longer during exercise.

Even his archery skills are much more accurate than before!

The taste itself wasn't bad, and with this unique effect, no one doubted Ning Yuan's words anymore.

Whether the red bean tea market is worth trillions is unknown, but the market is certainly not small!

Moreover, there are not many women on Amazon Lily, only a little over eight thousand.

A small country with 8,000 people, let alone an industry worth 10 trillion, even if it were shrunk a hundredfold to only 100 billion, that would still be more than 10 million per person!

The people on Nine Serpent Island already looked at Ning Yuan with kindness, but now it's not just kindness, it's fervent!

"Um, Bai Longzhi, can we start making this red bean soup now?" Margaret asked excitedly.

She couldn't wait to help relieve some of the pressure on Lady Snake.

"That's right!" Ning Yuan nodded. "By the way, who wants to get involved?"

"Me! Me! Me!" Everyone present raised their hands. The reason was that Nine Serpents was so barren that there was no distinction between warrior and production professions.

As a warrior of the kingdom, Margaret still needs to hunt, doesn't she?

"Very good!" Ning Yuan nodded. "I've checked, there are 32 people here. May I assign you tasks?"

"No problem!" the women nodded in unison.

"Well then, first I need to confirm how many red bean trees there are on the whole island!" Ning Yuan asked.

"There should be 36!" Margaret replied immediately. She had been hunting on the island for many years and knew it very well.

The red beans of the red bean tree are particularly eye-catching and can be used as a landmark.

"37 beans, so let's split them into 9 people to pick red beans. Remember to choose the red ones; green and white ones are no good, don't pick them!" Ning Yuan pointed to 9 tall people: "You guys will do it, each of you will be responsible for 4 trees!"

The nine people immediately nodded, then went home to get their tools and prepared to pick beans.

Ning Yuan then pointed to three tall, leggy girls: "The three of you are responsible for transporting the red beans picked by those nine people to the processing site!"

The three nodded immediately and stood to one side.

"You two are in charge of washing the red beans the first time!"

"You two are in charge of grinding and removing the pulp!"

"You two are responsible for the second washing of the red beans after they have fermented."

"You two are responsible for sorting out the red beans after removing the pulp."

"You two are in charge of drying the clothes."

"You two are responsible for collecting the dried red beans!"

That means there are 24 people, and there are 8 people left.

"What are we doing?" The eight girls asked hurriedly when they saw that Ning Yuan was not speaking.

"You'll be in charge of managing the store and shipping!" Ning Yuan said. "I'll help them manufacture all the production equipment in the next few days, and then I'll train you on how to open a store online!"

The current smart network doesn't have a marketplace, but with the teleportation ability of the Door-Door Fruit, a marketplace function can indeed be enabled.

However, Ning Yuan did not think that using the Door-Door Fruit to deliver goods was a good idea. After all, it would be really foolish to expose such a strategic ability just because of making money.

Cross-border e-commerce platforms can't be opened, but island-based e-commerce platforms can be opened, allowing goods to circulate within each island, which is equivalent to opening a regional network for each island.

As for McCafé, Ning Yuan plans to open one on the island's internal network in Alabasta. After all, it's his wife's business, so he should take care of it.

Although Ning Yuan wasn't a local and had only been there for a day, the girls from Nine Serpents seemed to trust others very easily. At his command, everyone sprang into action.

At first, there were only 32 people, but soon the word spread and by the next day, the number of people coming to work had exceeded 400!

There were over 700 people on the third day!

If the venue weren't too small to accommodate everyone, probably all two thousand people from the town would have come!

There is indeed strength in numbers, especially since they are a group of female warriors who have learned Armament Haki. First of all, the 36 red bean trees were all transplanted together.

Moreover, when they were looking for trees, they discovered that in addition to the 36 large ones, there were more than a hundred small saplings that had not been found, so they simply transplanted them together.

The next day, next to the red bean grove, a patch of trees was cut down, and the trunks were used to build a makeshift production base, including an extruder, a washing pool, a drying room, and so on.

Sun-drying can dry red beans, but it takes more than ten days.

Drying is simple; one night is enough. The only problem is that it consumes a lot of wood.

But it's not a big problem; this just happens to have cleared a forest.

Once this forest is burned down, the red beans will be almost all harvested. The next time they need to be dried will be next year. With a year to go, how can we not accumulate enough timber?

On the third day, the first batch of red beans was taken out of the drying room.

According to Ning Yuan, the coffee beans from Nine Serpents are not of high quality; they are small, have low caffeine content, and taste bitter.

But it's already quite good that coffee can grow like this without artificial selection. Ningyuan isn't picky; it's already good enough that there's something to drink.

With the product in hand, the next step is sales.

During these three days, Ning Yuan not only introduced the smart network to the eight sales staff, but also took the other female soldiers on a virtual tour of the internet.

Therefore, it's not just eight salespeople watching the store's backend now; all two thousand female soldiers in the town are watching!

"The first batch will be 50 kilograms, 8000 Berries per kilogram!" Following Ning Yuan's description, the sales staff placed the goods on the shelves one by one.

"Will anyone actually buy this?" the girl asked, a mix of curiosity and nervousness in her voice.

It's just red beans grown in the countryside, isn't 8000 peles per kilogram too expensive?

Keep in mind that one kilogram of white sugar is only worth 3000 berries.

"Don't worry!" Ning Yuan said with a smile.

With the King of Alabasta personally promoting the products, how could they possibly not sell?

Of course, he didn't abandon the coffee business; he used a better method: official procurement!

Coffee is a beverage that is well-suited for government employees, and with New Year's Day approaching, Ningyuan simply included coffee in the New Year's Day benefits for its officials.

There are nearly 60,000 government officials in Alabasta. If each person were given 1 jin (50 catties), that would amount to 60,000 jin (30,000 kg). A mere 50 kg is simply not enough!

Not to mention that it's not just for officials; army and navy soldiers can also drink it.

Anyway, Ningyuan can buy as much as he wants without worrying about where to use it.

So the girl discovered that the fifty items she had just put on the shelves had been sold out in an instant!

At the same time, the funds in the back-end account also increased from 0 to 40!

"Huh?" The girl's eyes widened. "It's...it's sold?"

"Of course it sold!" Ning Yuan laughed. "What are you all standing there for? Keep stocking up!"

The saleswoman nodded quickly, then clicked the button and served all the coffee beans at once.

It looks impressive, but in reality, it only weighs 130 kilograms.

That's right, 36 coffee trees produced a total of only 180 kilograms of coffee beans, averaging 5 kilograms per tree.

This yield is already quite remarkable on Earth, as the highest yield per coffee tree on Earth is only 5 kilograms.

Moreover, the coffee beans harvested in Kuja are all ripe; there are still half unripe beans left.

Including the uncooked ones, we need to add another five kilograms.

That means one tree can produce 10 kilograms of coffee beans, twice the Earth's total production!

The reason for such a high yield is that the soil and water in the world of One Piece are special, with a high concentration of oxygen, making it easy for large fish, animals, humans, and even plants to grow.

Coffee trees that have not undergone artificial selection can yield up to 10 kilograms. If they were selected, it would not be impossible for them to yield 15 kilograms, 20 kilograms, or even 30 kilograms.

Ning Yuan was still pondering when suddenly everything went black before his eyes, and then he was buried between two soft mounds.

"Wow, Bai Longfei, they're all sold out!"

Margaret was excited. She clearly saw that the 130 items in the store's backend instantly dropped to zero, and at the same time, the funds rose from 40 to 144 million!

144 million Pelés!

Is it too much?

That's really not many. When has the Nine Serpents ever gone out to raid with a smaller number of raiders?

But this time the concept is completely different, because the red bean tree is entirely produced in Kuja, which means that this money was earned entirely by Kuja's local production capacity!

This money is sustainable and permanent!

Moreover, it's very safe!

Sometimes when they go out to rob, they don't get any money, and sometimes they encounter danger, and some people even die.

But what about planting red beans?

The most dangerous thing is simply falling out of a tree and landing on your bottom.

"Now is not the time to get excited!" Ning Yuan patted Margaret on the shoulder, gesturing for her to come down, and then looked at all the female warriors present.

Nearly two thousand people, which is a quarter of the entire population of Kuja.

"As you can see, although the money has been received, the goods are still in our hands. I will contact a ship to transport the goods. In the meantime, we will need to do some packaging for the red beans."

"But!" someone raised their hand. "Apart from the Kuja Pirates, no one else in Kuja is allowed to communicate with the outside world!"

"That's easy!" Ning Yuan laughed. "I see there are other islands out there, right? We can build a warehouse on one, and then let the cargo ships go up there to pick up their goods!"

"That's a good idea!" The girl nodded. Building a warehouse is too simple.

Ning Yuan continued, "Also, as you can see, we have too few red beans. They sold out as soon as they hit the shelves, and we really don't have enough. Now we don't even have enough red bean tea for ourselves. In this situation, shouldn't we do something?"

"Expand the red bean tea production?" Margaret said excitedly. "But we've only found a little over a hundred seedlings, which adds up to only 150 in total. That won't increase production by much!"

"So we can't just wait for the red bean tea to sprout naturally; we have to take the initiative to plant them!" Ning Yuan stood up and waved his arm. "This whole hillside will do. Cut down all the trees and use it to plant red beans!"

"And that island, that island!" He pointed to two islands in the distance. "Coffee plantations could be developed on those islands too!"

"I've even come up with a slogan for you: The bolder the people, the greater the harvest!"
