Chapter 790 Manshan's Wealth

Gu Shuo picked it up and couldn't remember where he had seen it before. After looking at it repeatedly, he thought for a long time: "Isn't this a wild fruit that grows on the hills of the barbarians? What's the use of this thing?"

"They are a good thing, they can be eaten."

"Eat? I remember that I can't eat it." Gu Shuo put the fruit into his mouth in doubt, and suddenly the bitter taste came, his face wrinkled slightly, and he raised his hand and took a few sips of tea, but the tip of his tongue still felt a little bitter.

"It's too bitter to eat."

Ye Qianning smiled, took out an object 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, hesitated, took a bite tentatively, there was no bitterness, on the contrary, it was silky and sweet.

The feeling of melting in the mouth.

"This... what is this?"

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

So I added another piece of sugar in it, and then brought it over: "Gu Daddy, try it."

Watching her move, Gu Shuo felt more doubts in his heart. He took the teacup. The tea was very hot, but a faint fragrance came into his nose, which seemed to have a burnt smell.

Staring at the dark tea in the cup, frowning slightly.

"Father, don't worry, my daughter won't harm you." Ye Qianning laughed seeing him look bitter and bitter.

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

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

Gu Shuo blew on it, took a sip, and savored it carefully. It was a bit bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste was very fragrant. After trying a few sips, he gradually got used to it.

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

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

"Coffee?" Gu Shuo didn't expect that wild fruits grown in barbarian areas could be used to make tea.

It felt bitter just now, but now there is still a mellow aftertaste in the mouth, and it is good to taste it carefully.

"It's a good thing after all. Cocoa fruit can also make a lot of things. The barbarians are everywhere, ready-made wealth."

The place of the barbarians is very large, and the deserted mountains are full of cocoa fruit and coffee trees. It is more profitable to operate than selling animal fur.

Although Gu Shuo doesn't know much about cocoa fruit, the two he ate just now are really good, full of fruits...

He understood!

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

Boycott—

Heh, novelty things have always been the leading giants, and if you want to resist, you have to come up with better things.

Gu Shuo looked at the contract again: "You plan to buy cocoa nuts and coffee...coffee nuts for four copper coins per catty."

It's a bit awkward to call the word 'coffee'.

"I've roughly calculated the price. It's several times more than what they earn from hunting fur. After all, cocoa trees cost nothing to them at present. They are all grown naturally, and a huge sum of money arrives every year. The barbarians will not leave a good business behind."

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