There has been little progress in immigration matters in Yizhou, 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 motivation to the people!
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 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, blocking the air tight.
In desperation, he chose Zhang Han's mansion.
There is only one street between Zhang's Mansion and Bieyuan. From Zhang's Mansion, 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 in laughter.
After arriving at the mansion, quickly order someone to serve tea!
"There's no need for tea, just 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 are just watching the fun!
After all, it’s a new thing!
"Okay! Come on, bring everything here 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!"
Zhang Han said as he untied 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, almost all are 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 the various seeds scattered on the ground, Ying Feiyu felt dizzy.
Things of different colors and sizes are all mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish them!
"The crew said there are 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, take a look, is there the coffee you mentioned?"
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 when 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 skin should be light or dark brown at this point.
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. The inside was like a kidney bean. 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, only the last one is left in my hand, which is 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 still 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 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...is this coffee beans? There are quite a few of them 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!"
"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 go back and pick this thing out, 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, and it's not that good at all!"
One of the military generals flattened his mouth and looked very disgusted.
"Really? Give it a try...!"
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 this thing tastes very unpalatable. Are you sure it can be made into a drink?
Even if it is good for the body, it is estimated that 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 probably won't taste any better!"
Zhang Han also tasted one, and it didn't taste very good. He spit it out without thinking.
This thing is different from tea! Although the tea tastes slightly bitter, the aftertaste is refreshing.
Even if this thing is spit out, there will be a sour feeling in the mouth.
Even if someone asks him for money, he won't drink it!
"How does the rice taste?"
However, Ying Feiyu smiled indifferently and did not answer the question.
"Uh... it's fragrant and glutinous and delicious!"
Zhang Han was a little confused by this unexpected question and answered subconsciously.
"How does the freshly picked rice taste?"
Zhang Han was a little stunned when he was asked. He looked at the ministers around him and replied: "Hard and bitter!"
"That's right...!"
Ying Feiyu shrugged, picked a coffee bean, bit it open again, and explained in detail to everyone, "Even though this small coffee bean is so bitter, after processing, the taste will change a lot!"
"oh?"
Everyone suddenly looked surprised.
"Then please trouble your Highness to show it to us!"
All the ministers handed over their hands.
Everyone wants to see how such a sour and bitter thing can be turned into a delicious drink!
"good!"
Ying Feiyu thought for a moment and nodded.
Anyway, there's nothing too important today, so it would be nice to have a cup of coffee.
Besides, he missed that smell very much!
