Cut grains with a knife to make them smaller and you'll make a great profit. By cutting them, now you can get three grains worth of money for what was once a single grain.

Imagine buying some rice. Now cut all the grains with a knife into smaller grains. Now sell them for two, three, four times the profit!

To make an even better profit, you decide to cut up reeds (り) too. You stuff the grains in the reeds and sell that as "self-cooking" sets.
