"oh?"

Ling Zhou felt a little curious.

"I heard that Lanling Red Leaf Mountain is rich in a kind of fruit called Red Leaf Fruit?"

Mr. Yao said with a smile.

"Hey! There is."

Ling Zhou nodded.

At this point, even Ling Lanxin and others became curious.

There is indeed a kind of fruit that grows in abundance on Red Leaf Mountain, called Red Leaf Fruit.

The fruit is as big as a cherry, bright red and very tempting. Many tourists who visit Hongye Mountain for the first time can't help but pick one out of curiosity and taste it. But after tasting it, 10 out of 10 people will regret it.

That kind of fruit is sour and astringent, and is definitely not delicious.

One bite and you can spit it out.

There will also be a sour and astringent feeling left in the mouth, which makes it take a long time to recover from the feeling, and everything you eat has no taste.

Some people say that the beautiful scenery of Red Leaf Mountain has been ruined by these fruits.

If these fruits are delicious, then Red Leaf Mountain will definitely attract more tourists to visit.

"Your Highness, please try this drink."

Mr. Yao suddenly opened the medicine box beside him.

Ling Zhou and others looked over curiously.

I saw Mr. Yao take out an exquisite glass bottle, which contained some red liquid.

"This is?"

Ling Zhou became curious.

"This is a drink made from red leaf fruit. Your Highness Zhou can try it."

Mr. Yao poured the drink into a porcelain teacup and said with a smile.

"oh?"

Ling Zhou was a little curious, so he picked up the cup and took a look.

The drink in the cup is very brightly colored, almost the same color as cherries.

I sniffed it and a strange fruity scent came to me.

“Is this the taste of red leaf fruit?”

Ling Zhou blinked, surprised.

When everyone heard this, they became even more curious.

They all know about the red leaf fruit. Although they have never tasted it, they all know what it tastes like.

"good."

Mr. Yao smiled and nodded.

Ling Zhou took a sip out of curiosity, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Such a strong fruity aroma. The sourness has faded a lot, but it seems..."

Ling Zhou exclaimed.

He couldn't find any adjective to describe it.

In this life, he had tasted all kinds of precious drinks, red wine, and fruit wine in the world. But this drink had a very unique taste, and it was addictive.

"Sister, His Highness Qiao Shan, General Zhou, you guys come and try it too."

Ling Zhou said to Ling Lanxin and others with a smile.

As they were talking, a servant came over and poured a cup for everyone.

"What does Mr. Yao mean?"

Ling Zhou asked with a smile.

"Exchange the recipe for this drink for a Lingzhi."

Mr. Yao said.

Then he added: "The main ingredients of this drink are the red leaf fruit from the Red Leaf Mountain, plus a few other common medicinal herbs. Not only does it taste good, it can make people feel comfortable and refreshed, and it also has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin."

Ling Zhou smiled when he heard this and looked at his sister and others.

They had tasted this drink before, and now, they were all amazed.

"I didn't expect that Elder Yao had this recipe. If he had taken it out earlier..."

Zhou Hong on the side said.

Having said that, he stopped.

Although he was a soldier, his family was a business family. Therefore, he first thought of the commercial value of this drink.

But as he thought about it, he remembered that the main ingredient of this drink was produced in Lanling!

Old Yao narrowed his eyes and smiled, but said nothing.

"I wonder if this recipe was developed by the old gentleman himself, or..."

Ling Zhou tried to ask.

"It's an ancestral recipe. My family is a family of medicine. If you trace it back, you can trace it back to the Song Dynasty."

Old Yao sighed and said.

Then, he continued, "According to my family's ancestral home, there was once a place in China where red leaf fruit grew. But it was destroyed due to war. So this prescription has been sealed. Until two years ago, my granddaughter pestered me to go to Lanling for a trip, and we saw this kind of red leaf fruit in Red Leaf Mountain. We picked some and made a drink. Now our family drinks this drink every day."

Ling Zhou nodded when he heard this and glanced at his sister.

Seeing this, Ling Lanxin smiled, as if to say, make your own decision.

After thinking for a while, Ling Zhou shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yao, you may know this in your mind. This drink recipe is not good enough to compete with a 2,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."

Everyone present nodded at his words.

Ling Zhou was telling the truth. This recipe would only fetch a few million at most, or tens of millions of RMB at most. Moreover, this recipe would be useless if it were in someone else's hands! Because Hongye Mountain was the property of the Lanling royal family.

Without the order from the Lanling royal family, no one dared to go to Red Leaf Mountain to pick fruits in large quantities.

It was okay for Mr. Yao to pick a small amount every now and then. However, even if this kind of fruit was considered worthless in the past, he would not allow others to pick it in large quantities.

If a Ganoderma lucidum is put up for auction, it is possible to sell for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

If someone really needs life-saving help, even 1 billion is no problem.

Therefore, the two values are not equal.

"This old man understands, so I came here today and prepared two things."

Hearing Ling Zhou's refusal, Mr. Yao was not disappointed, but smiled.

"oh?"

Ling Zhou was curious.

"Now, we need to talk alone."

Mr. Yao said.

Ling Zhou heard this, but before he could say anything, Qiao Yu, Qiao Shan, and Zhou Hong had already stood up.
