Chapter 920: Coffee Beans(1/2)

Immigration matters in Yizhou have not made much progress, with only a few people signing up.

Ying Zheng also hoped that those who went to Yizhou in search of wealth would come back and give the people motivation!

But this mediocre income not only failed to motivate the people, but actually made them laugh!

"Your Highness, my crew has brought back a lot of seeds, please go and take a look!"

"My family is the same. Among the things that are missing, there is the kind of coffee that His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned!"

"It's better to go to my mansion...!"

After Ying Feiyu told him about coffee in the morning, all the ministers have been thinking about it.

If their harvest includes coffee, they can increase their income even more.

After all, this thing doesn’t exist in Da Qin yet, so it’s considered a rarity!

"Then let's go to Zhang Shangshu's residence!"

As soon as the scumbag left, Ying Feiyu was surrounded by a group of ministers, and the blockage was airtight.

In desperation, he chose Zhang Han's mansion.

There is only one street between Zhangfu and Bieyuan. From Zhangfu, you can go directly to Bieyuan, which saves you unnecessary trips!

"Haha, okay, okay!"

Zhang Han was so happy that he was selected, and his facial features were all tangled up in laughter.

After arriving at the mansion, quickly order someone to serve tea!

"There's no need for tea, it's better to bring the things over quickly!"

Ying Feiyu waved his hand and refused.

When I heard that I was looking for coffee, almost all the officials came.

Those who have a boat want to see what coffee looks like, and after returning home, they also search among the things brought back by their own crew.

Those who don’t have a boat can just watch the fun!

After all, it’s a new thing!

"Okay! Come here, bring everything up quickly!"

Zhang Han bowed his waist and greeted his servants with a smile on his face.

"yes!"

The servant responded and quickly went to do it.

In just a moment, he walked in carrying several sacks!

"These were brought back by the crew on the island! I opened them and saw that they were all seeds, so they were thrown aside!"

As Zhang Han spoke, he went to untie the rope tied to the sack.

The rope seemed to be tied very tightly, and it took a long time to untie the knot!

"Wow..."

After the rope was opened, the contents of the sack instantly flowed out.

As he said, they are almost all seeds.

Originally there were a lot of spices in it, but Zhang Han ordered his people to pick them all out last night.

The remaining ones are going to be sent to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for them to help identify and see if there is anything valuable.

If not, I plan to throw it away!

Seeing all kinds of seeds scattered on the ground, Ying Feiyu felt dizzy.

Things of different colors and sizes are all mixed together inside, making it difficult to distinguish!

"The crew said there are still a lot of fruits on the island, but they couldn't find sugar cane that can be used to make sugar, so they couldn't make cans and bring them back!"

"Yes, I also heard from the crew that there are many fruits over there that we don't have in Daqin, and they taste very sweet!"

When they saw those dry seeds, other officials around them also defended the crew members.

"Your Highness, please take a look, is there the coffee you mentioned here?"

Zhang Han couldn't wait to pour out all the seeds from the two sacks for Ying Feiyu to search carefully.

Their crew was the first group to land on the island, and their target must be those valuable gems.

Everyone can understand why we pick these unknown things because we really can’t find gems!

"good!"

Ying Feiyu nodded, squatted down, and began to search among the pile of seeds.

The coffee beans seen in later generations have undergone a series of treatments, and the ripe fruits just picked from the trees should be red.

After these few months, the outer skin should be light brown or dark brown.

Flipping back and forth among the various seeds, I found several kinds of small brown seeds!

A few of them looked wrong in appearance and were thrown back by Ying Feiyu.

The remaining few are very similar in shape and size to coffee beans, and they can only be distinguished by their taste!

Ying Feiyu bit open the first one. It was like a kidney bean inside. It was a pure seed, not a coffee bean at all.

Coffee beans are the fruit of the coffee tree. After removing the outer skin and pulp, what is inside is the real coffee bean, not the pure seeds!

After eliminating a few more, there was only the last one left in my hand, which was also the one most similar in appearance to a coffee bean!

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the last one.

If it's not right, then it proves that the Zhang Han family doesn't exist at all!

"Crack..."

The last one was bitten open by Ying Feiyu.

The thin skin wraps the thin pulp, and inside is a small hard core.

A faint sour taste mixed with a slightly bitter smell swept through the entire mouth.

Even though it’s only such a small piece, it still has a rich flavor!

"Um!"

After tasting this familiar taste, Ying Feiyu nodded slightly, and the tough lines on his face began to soften.

"How is it? Your Highness, what kind of coffee bean is this?"

Zhang Han's expression was not as relaxed as his, and he kept frowning, waiting for the answer.

"Yes, that's it...!"

He spit out the dry and hard coffee beans in his mouth and nodded with a smile. "This is the coffee bean!"

I picked up a few identical coffee beans and handed them to the ministers around me, asking them to recognize them.

"This...this is coffee beans? I have quite a few in my mansion!"

"Yes, when I checked the things brought back by the crew last night, I also found a lot, but I don't know what they were!"

"That's great, haha, I have this little thing at home too!"

"Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince spoke in time, otherwise, we would have thrown them all away if we couldn't save them all...!"

A few small coffee beans were circulated back and forth among the ministers, and many people laughed out loud after seeing them.

If you pick this thing out later, you can exchange it for money!

"Bah, bah..."

While everyone was happy, a discordant voice came from among the ministers.

"Your Highness, I just tasted it. It tastes sour and bitter, but it's not that good at all!"

A military general flattened his mouth and looked very disgusted.

"Really? I want to try it too...!"

Hearing this, the ministers picked out a lot of coffee beans from the seed pile and threw them into their mouths.

"Ahem...bah...!"

Afterwards, everyone's expression was the same as that of the general just now. They all spit out the coffee beans in their mouths with a grimace on their faces.

Now I have indeed found the coffee beans, but they taste very unpalatable. Are you sure you can make a drink?

Even if it's good for the body, probably not many people will buy it.

It’s more like using medicinal materials to treat diseases!

"Your Highness, this thing is too unpalatable. Even if you soak it in water and drink it, it won't taste much better!"

Zhang Han also tasted one, and it didn't taste very good. He spit it out without even thinking about it.
To be continued...
