Ang Lee's life in the country of Bolu was very comfortable, and when he was about to leave, he also found a project to make a fortune for the country of Bolu, which can be regarded as doing a little good thing for the country of Bolu.

In order to prevent the people of Bolu from mastering the cultivation and processing of coffee, Ang Lee deliberately wrote down the technical points on paper, so that nothing could be lost.

Before leaving, Li An got a boatload of souvenirs, and he had everything to eat, just the peeled coffee beans were more than 300 catties, and the unpeeled ones were ten times as much, a total of more than 3,000 catties.

Of course, before leaving, Li Ang also left more than 100 catties of white sugar for Bolu Kingdom, and told them that they could buy more white sugar in Datang and let them drink it first, not enough to go to Datang to buy it themselves, or exchange it with merchants who had already gone south.

Giving Li An so many coffee beans, in addition to expressing special gratitude, Li Xiaoyao also has a plan in his heart, since this is a good drink, it should be developed, but if no one recognizes it, it will be very bad.

There are too few people who have drunk coffee now, and if there is a large-scale cultivation in Bolu country, but it can't be sold, it will be a big loss, so it is necessary to popularize coffee and let more people drink this new drink, which will have a good publicity effect.

Ang Lee brought so much coffee, in addition to satisfying himself and his companions to taste, when he arrived in the small country below, he would definitely take out some of it, so that the high-level officials of all the countries along the way could drink coffee, so that when the coffee of Bolu Country was abundant, it would be able to achieve very considerable sales.

After the fleet departed, the next stop was Shengdang country, which is also a very small country, the population is not as large as that of Bolu, and the number of troops is not worth mentioning, but due to its proximity to the western entrance of the Strait of Malacca, the geographical location is relatively better.

Ang Lee's fleet is very large, it takes about two days to reach Shengdeng Kingdom, and in the days when he is floating on the sea, although he can only see the sky and the sea, because the size of the fleet is relatively large, it is not very hard, and the small days are still very good.

In particular, Ang Lee's boat is the largest of all steamships, and it has enough food and daily necessities on it, enough for Ang Lee to enjoy.

After the ship departed, Li Ang asked a large group of people to start peeling the beans, roasting and grinding, making them all into coffee powder that could be used directly, and then loading them all on his own boat.

Although there are 3,000 catties of coffee beans, after being made into coffee powder, there are only 2,000 catties left, and a full third of the loss is made, but even 2,000 catties is not a lot, as long as it is not distributed to ordinary soldiers and let Li An enjoy it alone, he will not be able to drink it for many years.

Ang Lee prefers to grind and make coffee by himself, so at least twenty catties of these two thousand catties of coffee powder are roasted and ground by Ang Lee himself, and in addition, this new drink has also become a good thing that Ang Lee must drink every day, at least three times a day.

The Tang Empire has long made cheese, this is not a high-tech product, it is easy to make it, and Ang Lee also prepared some when he left, but he didn't eat it often.

This time I accidentally made coffee, and the ingredient Ang Lee used was sugar, which is a very sweet food, and the effect was also very good, but if you added extra cheese, maybe it would taste better.

It's just that the cheese is not prepared enough, and Li An also saves to eat, so when he was in Bolu Country, he didn't take it out, so as not to get addicted to the high-ranking officials in Bolu Country and ask for a part of it, and it would hurt his feelings if he refused, so he didn't take out the cheese, and just used white sugar to deal with it, and besides, white sugar and coffee are already a perfect match, and it doesn't matter too much whether to add cheese, it's delicious enough.

But after getting on the boat, Ang Lee has no scruples, and can rest assured that he can study a more delicious cheese version of coffee, which will definitely taste better.

"Alang, sugar, cheese, coffee and boiling water, all brought in."

Yuna and Lady walked over and brought everything Ang Lee needed to the deck.

In fact, the conditions in the cabin are better, but Li Ang dislikes that the cabin is a little breathless, and still feels that it is more comfortable to stay on the deck, and he can carefully prepare delicious drinks while looking at the sky and the sea.

"Come, Ah Lang is going to prepare coffee cheese today, this taste must be much better than without cheese, I will definitely let you taste it later."

Li An said happily.

Although these are the most high-grade luxury ornaments, ordinary soldiers can't enjoy them, but beautiful women like Yun'er and Beauty, who have a relatively close relationship with Ang Lee, can naturally drink it, and anyone can not drink it, but the two of them are indispensable.

"Thank you, Ah Lang, hehehe!"

The second daughter smiled happily.

Ang Lee smiled faintly and began to make cheese coffee himself.

The configuration of this drink is very simple, you only need to put the coffee powder, sugar, and cheese into the cup according to a certain proportion, and then pour boiling water.

It's just that the ratio of various materials takes a certain amount of time to explore, and if the ratio is different, the taste is definitely different, and you need to experience it slowly.

Everyone's appetite is different, so different people will have different opinions about what tastes best.

Ang Lee prefers not to be bitter or sweet, it would be better if it was full of rich milky flavor, and other people seem to prefer sweeter.

"Come, I'll try it, it's good, it's the taste, it's milky, it's so delicious."

Li Ang prepared it for a long time, and finally drank the satisfactory milk-flavored coffee, he was very happy, and took a few more sips to slowly taste the milky aroma in the mouth.

"Ah Lang, is it really so delicious? I'm going to take a sip too. ”

Yuna said coquettishly.

Li An nodded and took Yun'er into his arms, and said, "Come, open your mouth quickly, let Ali feed you, hahaha!" ”

"Ah Lang, I want to drink it too."

Seeing that Yun'er wants to drink milk-flavored coffee, the beauty also wants to drink it.

"Okay, don't worry, it's all shared, come, let's configure it more, this time Bolu gave us so much coffee, enough for us to drink."

Li An said happily.

"Ah Lang, this thing is so good, don't give it away on the road, if you send some every time you pass through a small country, it will definitely not be enough."

Yuna said.

Li An nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but it is still necessary to let others taste it, otherwise, how can coffee be popularized?" This is the great inheritance of the country of Bolu in the future. ”

"Ah Lang just thinks about others, but don't give more! We have to keep enough for us to drink. ”

Yuna said coquettishly.

Li An smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, sugar and cheese can be bought from the Tang merchants who go south, as for the coffee powder, if it is not enough, send someone to buy it in the country of Bolu, and since there is coffee in the wild of the country of Bolu, there may not be no coffee in the country of Shengdeng, maybe there will be more coffee?" After all, these two countries are not far apart, and the climate is about the same. ”

Coffee is a plant that lives in the tropics, and as long as it is in a tropical climate, it can almost survive, so since this plant can be found in the country of Bolu, maybe there is also a plant in the country of Shengde.

The word coffee originated from a small town in Ethiopia in later generations, which means strength and enthusiasm in Greek, and coffee, tea, and cocoa are known as the world's three major beverages.

The coffee that is usually drunk is made by grinding and roasting coffee beans, and the production process is relatively simple.

The world's first coffee tree was found in Africa, but this does not mean that coffee is only found in Africa, coffee trees exist in many parts of the world, but they were not the first to be discovered.

It is said that in a certain tribe in Africa, the fruits of coffee were ground and kneaded with animal fat to make many ball-shaped balls that were eaten by soldiers on expeditions.

The reason why the soldiers who went out to eat this food was naturally because they took a fancy to an important function of coffee, that is, the function of making people excited, and the soldiers could fight the enemy more energetically and achieve more brilliant victories after eating the balls containing coffee.

As for why coffee is exciting, people in ancient times did not understand it, and they thought it was so mysterious that it became the exclusive domain of religious fanatics and priests and physicians.

There are many different legends about the origin of coffee. The most popular and popular are the stories of the shepherds. Legend has it that there was a shepherd who, when shepherding sheep, stumbled upon his sheep jumping and dancing, and upon closer inspection, it turned out that the sheep had eaten a red fruit that caused the sheep to behave strangely. He tried to pick some of these red fruits and boiled them, but he didn't expect that the room was full of aroma, and the boiled juice was even more uplifting and refreshing after drinking, and since then, this fruit has been used as a refreshing drink, and it is quite popular.

Also, in ancient times, the Arabs would dry and boil coffee beans, and then brew them as tea, they thought it would help digestion, and later found that coffee also had a refreshing effect, and Islam strictly prohibited drinking, so they used coffee instead of alcoholic beverages as a usual refreshing drink.

Both alcohol and coffee can make people high, but alcohol is more harmful to people and can damage people's liver, while coffee is milder and will not cause damage to people's liver.

Therefore, replacing alcoholic beverages with coffee for a long time is a very good way to protect people's health.

Although coffee was first discovered in Africa, it was in Europe that caused large-scale application, and Europe formed a very large coffee culture in a few hundred years.

Coffee entered China in modern times, when the West invaded the Chinese Empire, it was introduced by their missionaries, and at first, they drank it themselves, but it didn't take long for the high-ranking people in China to learn to drink it.

In the beginning, the Chinese nobles felt that coffee was bitter and difficult to drink, and they had to add a lot of sugar to drink it.

But after drinking too much, I got used to it, and I thought it was a good drink, and then it spread at the top level.

The main components of coffee are caffeine, fat, acidic fat, minerals, fiber, sugar, etc., and there are quite a lot of substances, so it can be seen that it is a good thing rich in nutrients.

Among them, the most talked about is caffeine, which has a particularly strong bitter taste, which can stimulate the central nervous system, heart, and respiratory system, thus making people feel high.

A moderate amount of caffeine can reduce muscle fatigue and promote the secretion of digestive juices, and because it promotes kidney function, it has a diuretic effect and can help the body to excrete excess waste from the body, but if you drink too much, it can lead to caffeine poisoning.

Therefore, although coffee is a delicious drink, you must not drink too much, otherwise, it will not be good to cause poisoning.

In addition, there is a very special coffee in later generations, which is made by collecting semi-digested coffee seeds from a kind of cat feces, which is called cat feces coffee.

This coffee is said to have a particularly unique taste and a great taste that anyone who drinks it will never forget.

It is said that due to the very scarcity of this cat in the wild, the production of cat feces coffee is very small, and the price is also high, and only the very wealthy can afford to drink it.

However, Ang Lee will not spend money to drink this kind of drink, which is scooped out of animal feces, although the production process includes rinsing and deodorizing, and there will be nothing dirty, but after all, this is a fecal product of wild cats, and it feels a little disgusting when you listen to it, how can you drink it, and the price is still so expensive.

In Ang Lee's view, the so-called unique taste is a kind of hype, a kind of commercialization, and people pay a high price to buy this drink, in fact, this kind of thing is not much different from ordinary coffee, at least it should not be sold at a sky-high price.

Once people have money, they will toss blindly, but no matter how much they toss, they should not eat poop! The poop is so disgusting, how can I drink it.

In addition to drinking cat feces coffee, there are also people who eat maggots, grasshoppers, caterpillars, foot skins, and disgusting food, which is too toss-up.

"Sheng Deng Guo may also have coffee beans? If this is the case, we can prepare more, so that even if we sell to the smaller countries behind, we can make a lot of money. ”

Yuna said.

Ang Lee smiled: "Are we still short of money?" Your little lady is too greedy for money, these coffee beans have not been recognized by the world, and they are only suitable for promotion in the early stage, even if you prepare more, you have to give them to people for free to taste, not sell them to businessmen, do you understand. ”

"Oh, that's what it looks like! I actually want to give it away for nothing. ”

Yuna replied.

Any new product needs to be promoted before it is recognized by the world, so that the effect is the best.
