Mountains of wealth

Gu Shuo picked it up and couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and watched it repeatedly, before he remembered: "Isn't this a wild fruit growing on the hills of the barbarians, what's the use of this thing?" ”

"They're a good thing, they can be eaten."

"Eat? I remember it as if it wasn't edible. Gu Shuo said and put the fruit in his mouth suspiciously, and suddenly the bitter taste came, his face was slightly wrinkled, and he raised his hand and drank a few sips of tea, and the tip of his tongue still felt a little bitter.

"It's too bitter to eat."

Ye Qianning smiled hiddenly, took out an item from the space, and handed it over again: "You are trying this." ”

Gu Shuo picked it up, looked at the black thing in his hand and hesitated a little, and took a tentative bite, there was no bitterness, but a silky sweetness in his mouth.

A melt-in-your-mouth feel.

"This ...... What is it? ”

Ye Qianning didn't answer, just stood up and walked to the table, poured a packet of coffee-colored powder into the cup, and then brewed it with boiling water, she knew that Gu Shuo liked sweeter.

So I added another piece of sugar to it, and then brought it over: "Daddy Gu, you taste it." ”

Gu Shuo watched her move, and more doubts gathered in his heart, and took the teacup, the tea was very hot, but a faint fragrance came to the tip of his nose, and the taste seemed to have a burning smell.

Staring at the black tea in the cup, he frowned slightly.

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter won't harm you." Ye Qianning laughed when he saw that he looked bitter and hateful.

"Qianning, why do I feel that this tea is Hu?"

"It's a little, but it tastes good, and it has a refreshing effect."

Gu Shuo blew it, took a sip, and savored it carefully, the entrance was a little bitter, but the aftertaste was very fragrant, and he tried to drink a few sips, and gradually got used to it.

"What kind of tea is this?" He was amazed.

"It's called coffee, it's made from grinding this fruit, and it's refreshing to drink when you're sleepy." Ye Qianning picked up another fruit: "This is called cocoa fruit, and the chocolate you just ate is made from this fruit." ”

"Coffee?" Gu Shuo didn't expect that the wild fruit grown in the barbarian region could also make tea.

I just felt bitter, but now I still have a mellow aftertaste in my mouth, and it's good to taste it carefully.

"It's a good thing after all, and cocoa nuts can also make a lot of things, and the barbarians are all over the mountains, and they are ready-made wealth."

The barbarian land is huge, and the deserted mountains are full of cocoa and coffee trees, and the operation is more profitable than the sale of animal skins.

Although Gu Shuo didn't quite understand these things, the two that he had just eaten were really good, full of fruits......

He kind of got it!

"The Nanyuan Prince's United Chamber of Commerce boycotted the Gu family's industry, but if it is novel enough, the boycott is only literal, and it will not affect the sale at all."

Boycott –

Oh, novelty has always been the leading giant, and if you want to resist it, you have to come up with something better.

Gu Shuo glanced at the contract again: "You plan to buy cocoa fruit and coffee for four copper plates and one catty...... Coffee cherries. ”

The word 'coffee' is a bit of a mouthful.

"I've roughly calculated the price, it's several times more than what they earn from hunting furs, after all, the cocoa tree has no cost to them at present, it grows naturally, and a huge amount of money arrives every year, and the barbarians won't let go of a good business."

Gu Shuo nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "You have just been back for less than two months, how can you know so many things about the clan." ”
