Not the Novel World

16. Coffee

Lilian and Rosa now normalized their heartbeats. Lilian feeling his heart will soon be dislodged so shocked, fortunately he did not have heart disease could-can he die for the second time.

"Should you appear like that all of a sudden?" Lilian said annoyedly.

"You mean?" Say that guy.

"You shouldn't have turned up like that, to my surprise, what if I had a history of heart disease, it wouldn't be so funny if there was news of Duke Marven's youngest daughter dying of shock." Lilian said annoyedly.

"What are you doing here?" Ask the guy.

"I should have asked what are you doing here?" Lilian asked annoyed.

The man sighed softly. "This is my plantation." Her speech.

"This is my plantation too." Said Lilian lazily.

"Continue?" Her speech.

"Keep what?" Lilian was confused.

The man sighed again. "What's your name?" He pointed it towards Rosa.

"Honor your Highness the Prince, my name is Rosa." Said Rosa while bowing her body.

The one who suddenly emerged from the bushes was Seint, as he was examining something on his plantation, he heard the voice of a person who was chatting and the voice he was very familiar with. Seint walked towards the source of the sound while wagging the bushes that blocked his path using the sword.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Seint to Rosa.

"Although Your Majesty, we are preparing something for the upcoming festival event." Said Rosa who still looked down occasionally glancing fearfully at Lilian.

Lilian looked resentfully at Seint, "Why are you asking him?" Lilian was still upset.

"Because it's free to ask you." Say Seint flat.

When Lilian wanted to reply to Sein's words, Zheyan's voice was heard calling her name making Lilian not reply to Seint's words.

Zheyan ran towards Lilian and when he came to his brother, he looked down at Lilian. "Are you hurt ? Why are you yelling?" Zheyan said worriedly.

"Because of him." Point Lilian towards Seint.

Zheyan stared at Lilian's pointer and bowed respectfully as he looked at Seint. He did not pay attention around because he was worried to hear Lilian's screams were very loud.

"My honor is noble." Zheyan.

Seint nodded briefly then from behind Seint, Artem suddenly appeared. Artem previously also heard a very loud scream without a second thought he ran towards the source of the sound.

Artem looked one by one at a time at the person before him and asked. "What are you doing here?"

"We're preparing materials for the festival later sir." Zheyan.

"It doesn't need to be that formal, you can just call me Artem like Lilian and I'll just call Zheyan how?". Artem.

Zheyan. "All right."

Seint cleared his throat slowly looking at the familiarity of Artem and Zheyan then stared intently at Artem. Artem who was in the face pretended not to pay attention to Seint.

"Have you decided on something you're going to show me at the festival?" Artem.

"Yes we have already determined it." Zheyan.

"What?" Ask Seint briefly.

"We will cultivate the fruit of that tree." Zheyan said as he pointed at one of the cacao trees.

Seint raised his eyebrows curiously. "How?" Ask Seint.

"For the way I don't know yet, but my brother Lilian knows how to process it." Said Zheyan and looked towards Lilian.

Lilian raised her haughty face as Sein looked at him curiously.

"Tell me." Seint.

"Why do you want to know?" Lilian was suspicious.

"Because I'm not sure you can handle it." Say Seint flat.

"Heiiii, I can process it but I won't tell you how, or maybe you also want to cultivate this fruit considering that this plantation was previously a member of the kingdom does not rule out the possibility of this tree also growing in your plantation." Lilian was suspicious.

"That tree only grew on your estate Lilian." Artem.

"How should I believe it?" Lilian.

"You can check it out yourself." Seint.

Lilian seemed to think for a moment and then agreed with Seint's words. "All right."

Seint immediately jumped over the border wall and raised Lilian's body. Everyone who was there was shocked to see him including Lilian herself.

"What are you doing? Put me down." Said Lilian irritatedly while hitting the chest of Seint's field.

Seint himself did not care about the reaction of the people, after he again jumped through the border wall, Seint lowered Lilian.

"Oh my heart feels like it's coming back" said Lilian, holding her chest. "What was that ? His chest was so hard and contained.astaga Lilian be aware." Lilian nodded back while shaking her head.

"I'm fine." Lilian.

They followed Seint and Artem from behind. They're using the same train as Duke Marven's estate.

Some of Seint's plantations were dominated by citrus trees, apples, pears and herbs. After a long look at the plantation, they rested under a very shady apple tree. Along the way they plucked the fruit they could reach and ate it while resting.

"Now do you believe?" Ask Seint.

Lilian shook her head violently. "I haven't seen that one over there." Point Lilian eastward.

"It's only grown in the wild vines." Artem.

"I still want to check on him." Said Lilian kekeh.

"All right, come on." Said Seint standing up from his seat and returning to the carriage.

The last place they visited was the eastern part of Seint's estate. As Artem said there were no useful plants, there were only spiked by thorny bushes. When Lilian wanted to turn around and return to her blind eye, she accidentally saw something.

"Artem here." Call Lilian hard.

All stared at Lilian and walked closer towards her. When Artem came before him Lilian told him to shake off the bushes that blocked his way with the sword.

When the bushes managed to clear Artem Lilian opened her mouth in disbelief as she looked at the security in front of her.

"It's a coffee plant." Said Lilian girly.

"Why don't you harvest it ? Look at these plants ready to be harvested." Lilian said happily.

"Do you know what plant this is?" Seint.

"Of course I know, it's called a coffee plant." Lilian.

"Coffee?" Everyone is confused.

"Yes this is the name of the coffee plant, you have to harvest the fruit first you will process it into a drink, the benefits are also many eg....." Lilian paused her speech seeing the confused expressions of everyone.

"You don't know this plant?" All simultaneously shakes.

"Continue your explanation." Seint.

"No way." Lilian.

"Why?" Artem.

"You don't know this plant but I understand how to cultivate and know the benefits of this plant." Lilian.

"Then?" Seint.

"I won't give you any information for free, I've been exploring my estate but I don't see any coffee plants growing there." Lilian.

"How much do you want?" Ask Seint.

"Seeing so many of these plants grow, I don't want to name the nominal but I want you to work with me, we'll split the profit equally." Lilian.

"I don't think Duke Marven's youngest daughter is good at negotiating." Say Seint flat.

"Of course I have to be smart, how do you agree?" Lilian.

"If I don't want to?" Ask Seint.

"Well, if you don't want to, the plant will only be part of the bush if you don't understand the processing." Lilian's words are heating up.

"I agree with my sister, in this kingdom no one will know how to process the plant, like the cacao trees that grow on our plantations, if my sister knows the processing aren't you the same ? His Majesty has plants but does not know how to process them while my sister knows how to cultivate them." Zheyan.

"We'd better take it than the plant will just be a bush." Brisking Artem on Seint.

"Oh yes the plant will be very useful for the palace and when fighting." Said Lilian .

Seint sighed softly then nodded. "All right." Her speech.

Lilian smiled happily at it. "Alright first we discuss first about the benefits, the results of the coffee plant that we will divide by two, but the benefits are already clean. That means the net profit is the result of the sale of coffee later we will use to pay workers, then for plant care, delivery of goods and other things we need, he said, the rest of that need is the net income we have to split two how?" Lilian.

"All right." Seint.

Artem walked over to Lilian and gave her a badge with the crown prince's coat of arms as a sign of their cooperation. Lilian accepted it with pleasure.

"Then explain." Seint.

Lilian nodded. "This is the name of the coffee plant, we can process it into a drink, before processing it we have to harvest the fruit that is red and do some processes, and then we have to harvest the fruit that has a red color, the first process we have to dry this coffee fruit directly in the sun for several days, after the water content is reduced we will remove the coffee beans in the middle of the coffee fruit by hitting it hard, the third process we will filter the good seeds and seeds that are not good by soaking in the container, the, we will separate the coffee beans that sink and float on the surface of the water and then we dry them again, the fourth process is roast where we have to roast coffee beans on a skillet that is very hot to charred, the fifth process mash coffee beans that we have roasted until smooth and then strain using a cloth to separate the beans that are still smooth and rough after that become coffee powder and ready we process." Obviously Lilian long.

"Then?" Seint.

"We just process it, heat the water after boiling the input of coffee powder as much as a tablespoon into the glass and add a little sugar according to taste, then add a little, we can also mix milk if we want it will add to the taste of coffee for people do not want bitter coffee, the benefits for coffee are very much one of them can eliminate drowsiness, very useful for palace guards who are on guard at night even useful when on the battlefield, coffee powder can also be used for face mask." Lilian.

Everyone just nodded hearing Lilian's explanation.
