Xanadu must be hidden, not known to outsiders, so that it can be called Xanadu, if everyone knows this place, and all want to come and see, then this place must not be called Xanadu, but a scenic spot, or called a tourist attraction.

The geographical location of the Bolu country is relatively remote and not very wealthy, so there have been no thieves for a long time, but with the Tang Empire's strong attack on the Malacca pirates, these pirates who can't survive are likely to develop to the periphery, and the Bolu country is a very good place, which fully meets the requirements of being a safe haven, which Li Xiaoyao knows, so he has only recently become worried, worried that if he really doesn't cooperate with the Tang Dynasty, just the pirates will be enough for him to be busy.

The conditions offered by the Tang Dynasty were still very tempting, so that Li Xiaoyao could not refuse, for the sake of the future of the Bolu Kingdom, he had to agree to these conditions and choose to cooperate with the Tang Empire.

Issues such as tariffs and investment, as well as laws, are non-negotiable, but the rest of the minor issues are still negotiable, as long as they do not violate this general direction.

Through the investigation and understanding in the past few days, Ang Lee and Li Xiaoyao have understood each other, especially Li Xiaoyao, who understands the benefits of cooperating with Datang, as well as the serious consequences to bear once Datang is rejected.

The times have changed, and the country of Bolu must not continue to implement the policy of closing the country, otherwise, it will inevitably suffer the consequences and fall into a situation of no return, this point, at the beginning, Li Xiaoyao did not understand, but after Li An's education for many days, he understood, and began to change his thinking, and willingly cooperated with the Tang Empire.

can persuade Li Xiaoyao to agree to cooperate with Datang, Ang Lee's task can be regarded as completed, and he can pat his ass and leave, however, it is too hard to travel all the way, and Li Ang still wants to rest for a few more days, by the way, enjoy the customs of Bolu country, if possible, you can also inspect the industry of Bolu country, and give Li Xiaoyao some reliable suggestions.

The location of Boru is a little remote, but it is not far from the busy Strait of Malacca, that is, it is a little farther away, and overall, the location is quite good.

As long as characteristic industries can be formed here, the lives of the common people can still be greatly improved, but in addition to the beautiful scenery and environment, there are also special resources here, and Li An has not had time to investigate.

Li An, who was idle and bored, took a team of soldiers and horses to hunt near the royal city, so that he could not only get a lot of prey, but also relax at the same time, and it was still very good to change his mood.

Li An went with the guards by himself, there were more than a dozen Tang guards, and a few Polu people who led the way, of course, this is a close guard, a few hundred meters away, there are three hundred Tang soldiers and horses to follow, just hunting, you can't follow too closely, otherwise you will scare away the prey.

"Big brother, I said a long time ago that the king of Bolu Kingdom did not dare to disobey the meaning of the Tang Dynasty, this is not a happy promise to cooperate, haha!"

Li Feiyu said proudly.

Before arriving in the country of Bolu, Li An had worried, afraid that Li Xiaoyao would not cooperate, but Li Feiyu was not worried at all, and the final facts seemed to prove that Li An was too worried, and Li Feiyu was right, so he naturally laughed happily.

Li An naturally would not admit defeat, and opened his mouth to defend: "A happy promise, just like Li Xiaoyao, can it be called a happy promise?" Eldest brother, my mouth is about to wear out, and my voice has been hoarse many times, which persuaded Li Xiaoyao, where is he happy to agree, even at this moment, this kid is still muttering in his heart? He is still worried that he will suffer a loss if he cooperates with Datang. ”

Said that I gave Li Feiyu a blank look.

Li Feiyu was stunned for a long time, and said with a smile: "No matter what, didn't Li Xiaoyao still agree, I said a long time ago, he didn't dare not agree." ”

Li An didn't bother to argue, so he aimed at a moving bush and shot over.

"Li Shilang, it's a hare, and it's quite big."

The soldier rushed over and carried the hare.

"Big brother, I've hit a lot of prey today, isn't it time to go back?"

Li Feiyu pointed to the harvest behind him and opened his mouth to suggest.

Since going out in the morning, Li An and his party have hunted at least dozens of prey, and the dozen or so guards behind them, each of whom has a horse on their back, are full of all kinds of prey, and there is also a light transport vehicle with large prey on it.

It can be said that Ang Lee's harvest is still very good, thanks to the better climate here in Borneo, there are more wild animals, and the key is that it is a little stupid.

This is enough to show that there are not many hunters in the country of Bolu, and if there are often people hunting, these prey will not wait stupidly to be killed, and when they see people, they will have already run away.

Animals are also vigilant, and only when they feel threatened, they will choose to flee, and what is a threat? Nature is something that can cause harm to animals, such as natural enemies or something.

Natural predators often hunt prey, which will naturally make the prey vigilant, and if humans do not hunt prey often, these prey will not be afraid when they see people, let alone run away, but will stare at humans curiously until they are killed, and they don't know what is going on.

And once humans often hunt in a certain forest, the animals in the forest will choose to flee immediately after seeing people to protect their lives, and hunting will become much more difficult.

In the previous life, when fishing for lobsters at the entrance of the village, you always had to carefully pull the line and catch it with a net, and if you are not careful, the lobster will escape, this is because the lobster at the entrance of the village is often fished, and they have learned to be shrewd, and it is very difficult to catch.

And you only need to change places, to the reed fields where there are few people in the wild, and you can easily catch a lot of lobsters, and you don't even need to prepare nets, you just need bait.

This is because lobsters in the wild are rarely fished by people, and they don't know that the food with the line in front of them is bait, so even if they are mentioned to the shore, they don't know what is going on, and the lobsters at the entrance of the village are already familiar with this routine, so as long as the line moves slightly, they will choose to loosen the food and save their lives.

Of course, in addition to the instinct of animals to protect themselves, human beings are the same, and when faced with threats, humans will also choose to protect themselves, which is the so-called vigilance.

Urban scammers are rampant, which is a very common phenomenon, but after a long time, many people are afraid of being deceived by scammers, and gradually scammers can't deceive people, so scammers will target the countryside, because rural people are relatively honest, especially many left-behind old people, their heads are a little confused, and they are easy to be deceived by scammers.

Of course, these hateful liars are too bad to die sooner or later.

There are fewer hunters in the country of Bolu, probably because the population is small, and the land and sea can support them, so they will never go into the mountains to hunt so hard.

The land can be used to grow crops and get a lot of food, and the sea can provide them with a constant supply of fish and shellfish to survive, so that they don't have to venture into the mountains, where the beasts are man-eaters.

Li An caught so many prey at once, naturally he had the intention of returning to his residence, and besides, the sun began to set westward, and it would be dark in a few hours.

"Hey, what are these little red fruits, I don't know if I can eat them."

Li Feiyu picked a branch casually and looked at the Bolu people beside him.

"General, this is an ordinary wild fruit, it seems that you can't eat it!"

The Boru replied.

"Oh, that's a pity, let's throw it away!"

Li Feiyu stretched out his hand to throw it.

Li An glanced at it, felt a little familiar, and said, "Wait, show it to me." ”

"Big brother, this is just an ordinary wild fruit."

Li Feiyu said, handing a branch to Li An's hand.

Li An took the branch in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "This seems to be coffee!" There is coffee in the country of Bolu, what a good thing! ”

Not only did the discovery of coffee excite Ang Lee, but most importantly, the coffee in front of him grew very well, very large and full, which shows that the climate here in Bolu is very suitable for the growth of coffee, and it is an excellent place for coffee planting.

"Big brother, what is coffee! Can you eat it? ”

Li Feiyu asked curiously.

Li An smiled: "You can't eat, you can drink." ”

"Can't eat, can you drink? Interesting, oh, this is the same as tea! ”

As soon as he heard that he could drink it, Li Feiyu suddenly thought of Datang's tea, which was a little unaccustomed to drinking at first, but he got used to it when he drank it, and he would think it was delicious.

Moreover, it soon became popular in Datang, and after that, it was even more popular all over the world, and those who did the tea business made a fortune, especially after shipping overseas, and made a lot of money.

Li An smiled and nodded: "That's right, this coffee is similar to tea, and it can be drunk, but the taste is very bitter, very bitter and bitter." ”

"Bitter taste, no one should like to drink this!"

As soon as he heard that the taste was bitter, Li Feiyu suddenly lost interest and felt that coffee had no future.

Ang Lee continued: "Although coffee is very bitter, it only needs to be mixed with sugar to make it taste very good, and it also has a refreshing effect, which is best when people are tired." ”

"Oh, what does bitter coffee taste like with sugar? Truth give it a try. ”

Li Feiyu said curiously.

Li An smiled, looked at the guards behind him, and ordered: "You go and collect this small red fruit, you can collect as much as you can, hurry up, before dark, you must return." ”

"Yes."

More than a dozen guards and people from the Bolu Kingdom all went to collect ripe coffee fruits, and Ang Lee himself dismounted to collect red coffee fruits.

Before dark, Li An and more than a dozen guards had collected at least more than 100 catties of coffee cherries and transported them back in a big bag.

After returning to his accommodation, Ang Lee had all the red coffee beans poured out and prepared to make coffee drinks, which could become a major industry in the country of Bolu as long as they tasted authentic.

"Ah Lang, what are these red fruits for?"

Seeing that Li An had prepared so many red wild fruits, Yun'er asked.

Ang Lee said: "Don't ask, prepare the grinding plate, these red fruits must be ground into powder, go quickly." ”

"Yes, Aaron."

Yun'er answered, and soon brought the grinding disc that was originally used to grind soy milk.

"Ah Lang, why do you grind these little red fruits into powder? What is it for? ”

The beautiful woman asked curiously.

Li An replied with a smile: "Don't ask so much first, come and help me remove the skin of these fruits, if you want to grind the powder, you must use the seeds inside." ”

"Ah Lang, so many red fruits, and they are still so small, when will this be peeled!"

Yun'er looked at the red fruit in front of her and frowned.

Li An smiled: "What are you afraid of, it's not for you to peel all the red fruits at once, how much can you peel, it's so late today, just peel three bowls, let's have one bowl per person." ”

"Yes, Aaron."

The three of them carefully peeled the red coffee beans and quickly peeled a bowl, but Ang Lee, Yun'er and the beauty also felt very tired, especially their fingers were painful, and they didn't want to continue peeling them.

"Ah Lang, there are so many people here, why are there only the three of us peeling, let them come and work together, it's not very fast, their fingers hurt so much."

Yuna said coquettishly.

Li An felt that it made sense, so he called all the guards and servants nearby and asked them to peel the skin together, so that all the coffee could be peeled faster and better.

"Alright, let them skin them! We start baking, and then it's ready to grind. ”

Ang Lee said with a smile.

Now that there is a bowl of peeled coffee beans, it is completely ready for roasting and grinding, and with so many people in charge of peeling, roasting and grinding can go on forever.

The method of making coffee powder adopted by Ang Lee is a relatively simple method, and no matter what the effect is, it is right to drink it anyway, as for the commercial coffee in later generations, it may have to go through a lot of complicated processes, and Ang Lee is not capable of doing this for the time being, after all, this is too complicated.

As long as it is coffee and can drink it, the pursuit of details and quality is not needed for the time being, and the key is to solve the problem of whether there is or not.

Baking requires the appropriate equipment, however, an iron pot and firewood are enough to cope with it, and as for grinding, it is even simpler, using a small grinding disc for grinding soy milk.

"Go get the iron pot and the firewood, ready to be set up here, and the iron spoon."

Ang Lee asked a cook to fetch the equipment.

"Ah Lang, don't you need oil and salt?"

Seeing Li An preparing the iron pot and iron spoon, Yun'er asked curiously.
