Gu Shuo picked it up and couldn't remember where he had seen it before. He looked at it repeatedly, and it took him a while to remember: "Isn't that a wild fruit that grows on the barbarian hills? What's the use of that thing?"
"Are they good enough to be eaten?"
"Eat? He seems to remember that it is not edible." Gu Shuo said as he put the fruit into his mouth doubtfully. A bitter taste suddenly came over him, and his face wrinkled slightly. He raised his legs and drank a few sips of tea, and the tip of his tongue felt a little bitter.
"It's so bitter that I can't even eat it."
Ye Qianning concealed a smile, took out an object from the space, and handed it over again: "I'm trying that."
Gu Shuo picked it up and looked at the dark thing in his leg with some hesitation. He took a tentative bite and found that it was not bitter, but instead tasted silky and sweet in his mouth.
It feels like it melts in your mouth.
"Then...what is that?"
Ye Qianning didn't answer, so she stood up and walked to the table, poured a packet of coffee-colored powder into a cup, and then brewed it with boiling water. She knew that Gu Shuo preferred something sweeter.
So I added another piece of sugar to it, and then brought it over: "Dad, let me try it."
Gu Shuo watched her actions, and more doubts arose in his heart. He took the tea cup. The tea was very hot, but the faint fragrance of the liquid reached the tip of his nose, and it seemed to have a burnt smell.
Staring at the dark tea in the cup, he frowned slightly.
"Dad, don't worry, my daughter won't harm me." Ye Qianning laughed when she saw his bitter and resentful look.
"Qian Ning, why does he feel that the tea is bad?"
"It's a little bit, it tastes good and has a refreshing effect."
Gu Shuo blew it, took a sip, and tasted it carefully. It was a little bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste of the bun was very fragrant. He tried to drink it for a few sips, and gradually got used to it.
"What kind of tea is that?" He was surprised.
"That's called coffee. It's ground from that fruit. Drink a cup when you're sleepy. It's very refreshing." Ye Qianning picked up another fruit: "That's called cocoa fruit. The chocolate I just ate is from that fruit."
made."
"Coffee?" Gu Shuo didn't expect that the wild fruits growing in barbarian areas could be used to make tea.
It felt bitter just now, but now it has a mellow aftertaste in your mouth, which is good to taste carefully.
"The cocoa fruit is a good thing. The cocoa fruit can be used to make many things. The barbarians are all over the mountains and plains. It is a ready-made wealth."
The barbarian territory was vast, and even cocoa fruits and coffee trees grew on the deserted mountains. The operation was much more profitable than selling animal skins.
Although Gu Shuo didn't know much about red cocoa fruits, the two he had just eaten were indeed good. They were everywhere...
Is he really famous?
"The Nanyuan Prince United Chamber of Commerce will boycott the Gu family industry, but if it is novel enough, the boycott will be literal and will not affect sales at all."
resist--
Oh, the giants that have always failed to lead the way with novel things, if you want to resist, just come up with better things.
Gu Shuo looked at the contract again: "I plan to buy cocoa fruits and coffee...coffee fruits for four copper coins per pound."
The word "coffee" is a bit awkward to pronounce.
"He has roughly calculated the price. It is several times more than what they earn from hunting furs. After all, the cocoa tree currently costs them nothing and is grown naturally. Every year, a huge amount of money comes in."
Well, the barbarians will not leave a good business unfinished."
Gu Shuo nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "I have only been back for less than two months, how can I know so many things about the clan?"
