185 coffee beans comparable to boutique
(Thanks to my friend Northwest Flying Wolf for his monthly ticket encouragement)
The entire harvesting work took four days. This was the first time to harvest seriously. In the next week or so, at least ten people would have to patrol under the coffee tree every day to pick the newly ripe cherry coffee.
During these four days, the sun comes out every day and works, and I have lunch and rest for less than an hour and a half, and then I continue to work.
Except for the few people on the first day, in the next three days, Liu Wenrui had 55 workers every day, which is not counting Rudy and the others who don’t need wages.
And in these four days, Liu Wenrui's expenditure had reached 230,000 shillings.
Liu Wenrui had to enjoy this expense secretly because the labor here is cheap, if it were domestic, it would be too hot.
The fourth day ended earlier, so Lao Liu took everyone to have a bonfire party to make these people feel serious.
The labor intensity these days is so high that they have never experienced in their work history. Even Comrade Liu feels so tired that he hasn't done much work yet.
The first batch of coffee beans have been fermented and dried, and each one is great. Anyway, Lao Liu felt happy when he looked at these coffee beans. The chubby coffee beans are very tight.
With this first batch, it can be calculated that the output this year is about 2.2 kilograms per tree. This is the average value, and Lao Liu is happy anyway.
Moreover, these coffee beans have another special manifestation, that is, the yield rate is very high, and not many coffee beans were eliminated during the screening process.
There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone there is nothing to hide this matter. After the first day of picking, the news that the coffee in Brothers ranch had a great harvest began to spread.
This is only once in the two picking seasons a year. If the annual output is included, this is no longer something that can be measured by a "harvest".
Many people only have the envy of themselves. You can choose to watch the fun, but what else can you say in the face of heavy facts?
Clan also received news here one after another that his mood was really not beautiful, and he smashed several bottles of red wine. Anyway, the more comfortable Liu Wenrui lived here, the more frustrated he felt.
Anyway, there is no longer only a company-level hatred, but also a personal hatred. The only thing he can do now is to use his brain, how can he continue to mix with Liu Wenrui in the future. Although your coffee beans have achieved a bumper harvest, we can do everything we can to make you unable to sell, that is also a success.
Lao Liu also knew that in the next process of coffee bean sales, he would definitely be suppressed. This matter was not only Franklin said, but Crane also said it. But now he doesn’t have the heart to care about these things. He has to see how these fat coffee beans are so beautiful this year.
As for whether to suppress or not, it is all a matter behind the scenes. When soldiers come to prevent them, water comes to cover them. Anyway, I am very confident now.
On the kitchen side, a bunch of people stood behind Lao Liu, staring at him stir-frying coffee beans in a pan.
It’s the Liu’s method of roasting goods, you don’t need a shovel and just use your hands. This coffee bean is different from the usual coffee beans. It’s much bigger. When you fry, you can only use a little experience and you have to adapt to the situation.
Lao Liu cooked it very seriously, and it was almost the same if he put all his attention on the pot.
The key to weaving baskets is to close the mouth. Now all performance is very good. The last key factor of stir-frying depends on the quality of these coffee beans.
Usually, Liu Wenrui could stir-fry coffee beans in almost five or six minutes. Today, Liu Wenrui fryed this pot for ten minutes.
After hearing the dense burst sound and smelling the scent, Lao Liu hurriedly picked up the pot and poured the coffee beans into the plate.
Each coffee bean is round and full, lying quietly on the plate, emitting an attractive fragrance.
"Masica, my skill in stir-frying coffee beans is OK now?" Liu Wenrui smiled and joked.
Masica smiled and nodded, "If it were me, I would definitely not be as good as the boss."
"Wait a minute, let's taste it together after it cools. Although it will taste better after one day, I really can't wait now." Liu Wenrui said.
Everyone was happy. At this point, Liu Wenrui was still very easy-going and not as arrogant as other bosses.
"Boss, if these coffee beans taste great, how do you plan to sell them?" asked Kipcorre.
"I really haven't considered this matter very seriously. After all, I've just entered the industry and I don't know much about many situations." Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
"I have been working hard these days to read the relevant information that Harvey sent me, and then I realized that it is really difficult to make your coffee beans famous."
"From the current situation, it is very unrealistic to sell coffee beans to a normal price and hand them over to cbk to acquire. Although I don't know how much influence Sunshine Company is, I think they will definitely have an impact."
"We can only look for those private buyers to see if they can give a high price. But the premise of all this depends on the quality of our coffee beans."
"From the first batch of products, they are far higher than AA in terms of fruit shape and weight. Now it has a bad taste. As long as the taste is not bad, I am still confident that I can sell it at a good price."
Although he said it very general, this is enough for those who care about this matter. In fact, in the eyes of Kipcory and Masica, Liu Wenrui is really an omnipotent existence.
After understanding it, I realized that Sunshine Company is very powerful, but what about its own boss? It seems that it is even stronger. Every time I can defeat Sunshine Company’s conspiracy.
Let’s talk about it, these coffee beans were also cooled. Lao Liu grabbed some casually and put them in the grinder.
When grinding, he also felt the difference. The texture of his coffee beans seems to be slightly harder than the previous coffee beans. It may also be that these coffee beans are a bit larger, so they need to be harder when grinding.
However, these are not very important things. The quality of the same variety of coffee beans will also be different in different farms.
He doesn't know other brewing techniques, but he's the same ones as before. But this time, because there are too many people, he should also put more coffee powder.
He carefully stewed the water on the coffee powder and steamed it. After moistening the coffee powder, Liu Wenrui came to him and sniffed it deeply.
The smell is really good, and it gives it the feeling that the fragrance is condensed but not dissipated. It just surrounds the coffee pot, and you can't smell it if you are a little farther away.
He was not overly intoxicated by the taste. Seeing that the steaming was almost done, he carried a kettle and watered the coffee powder.
This job seems very simple, but you have to control the flow rate of water. Especially when you have to make so much coffee this time, you need a lot of water. If you pour too fast and wash the coffee powder out of the pit, the taste will be much thinner when extracting.
Liu Wenrui also always observed the changes in extraction, as if it was a little different from usual.
The coffee products extracted in the past drip at a slow rate. But this time, the slow rate is very fast. Judging from his current experience, it should be at least about one-quarter faster.
This is a feeling, and it actually belongs to nuances. But don’t underestimate these. During the entire brewing process of coffee, these nuances will affect the taste of the coffee.
This pot of coffee is highly anticipated, anyway, everyone's eyes are now focused on the constant falling coffee liquid.
Lao Liu rubbed his hands, took away the filter on it, arranged the coffee cups in a row, and then poured a cup for everyone with the coffee pot.
Lao Liu no longer cares about what others think. Although the coffee is still a little hot, he also tasted it in a small way.
It doesn't swallow it so quickly, but it's like pistachio wine, and carefully sucks the smell of coffee.
If he had to describe it, the characteristics of these coffee beans this time are two words - restraint. It may be a bit inappropriate, but this is his intuitive feeling.
When I just drank it into my mouth, the slight bitterness and sourness, and the faint fruity aroma seemed to be no different from what I used to drink. But when you think so, the rich fruity aroma and a little caramel flavor, which has a very mellow taste.
After swallowing it, the feeling left in your mouth is sweet and fragrant.
It seems that so many complex flavors are hidden in this sip of coffee, and you need to carefully distinguish them. Coupled with the mellow taste, Liu Wenrui feels restrained.
He hasn't drunk much famous coffee, such as Blue Mountain and cat shit, this is only out of his hearing.
Even when we entertain customers in China, the coffee is all very ordinary coffee beans and then rinsed out with a machine. You see, the price is not low, but in fact he feels that the quality is not as good as it was picked here for the first time.
But the coffee beans today give him a much better feeling than the ones picked last time. In terms of taste, they are more complex and mellow. It was originally a very contradictory description, but it was perfectly combined in this mouthful of coffee.
Lao Liu's mood was so beautiful. This coffee bean from his home is not bad.
Even if he is tough, if these coffee beans are just ordinary standards, then the price is estimated to be the same as the average AA-level treatment in Kenya, and it is a big hurdle to be able to sell 13,000 KS.
Although he still doesn't know what position his coffee bean is among the many coffee bean products, he thinks it is very good anyway. At least it is stronger than the AA level in the traditional Kenyan sense, and maybe he can touch the real high-quality products.
