Although he was confused, Lao Liu was also sitting in the waiting area. The number of each round of evaluation will be displayed on the big screen next to him. Just watch it here.

Lao Liu looked at the scene carefully and was able to select more than 100 people at once. There was a special coffee roaster there, who was in charge of many small woks alone.

Of course, this small wok is like a pot that is commonly used in China for stir-frying melon seeds, but it is just a small trumpet. In front of these small woks, there are also special baristas responsible for brewing.

At this point, Lao Liu gave a thumbs up in his heart. Because the ones that can be selected must be master-level. He thinks that the hand-brewed coffee is better in terms of taste.

No matter how advanced science is and how smart machines are, many things cannot completely replace human handicrafts.

What made Old Liu very depressed was that just after sitting here for a while, Cran actually came over. Even though he was separated by three seats, he was very angry when he looked at his smiling expression.

I just kept thinking about this in my heart, and now he is even more worried.

This guy never does useless things, just don’t know how he wants to mess with himself today. Or he is also very confident that he can achieve good results in today’s preliminaries. The score is higher than his own, and then humiliate himself?

"Mr. Simon, it's really a coincidence. There are so many empty seats over there, but I came here."

Seeing Liu Wenrui coming, Crane greeted him politely again.

"Klan, are you tired of living?" Old Liu asked suddenly.

Clan was stunned for a moment, a little confused about what Liu Wenrui's question meant.

"Look at you, you have to calculate this and that every day, calculate it and spit out blood for yourself. Do you think you are not tired of living like this?" Old Liu seriously helped Klan analyze.

When he heard Liu Wenrui mentioning the blood vomiting again, Cran's face turned darker. He didn't slap people in the face, and did not reveal his shortcomings. Even if he had never heard this sentence, Old Liu would just poke his scars.

"Simon, although you are very confident in your coffee beans, I and many people are more confident in our coffee beans." Crane said looking at him.

"If your coffee beans want to join the CBK unified auction, I can be sure that the price will be very low. If you want to participate in the second window transaction, sell them directly to overseas buyers. I can also guarantee that it will be difficult for you to get the bank's guarantee."

"Cran, I didn't expect you to care so much about my business." Old Liu glanced at him, and was not showing any weakness.

"But don't worry, after this competition, I believe those buyers will contact me directly. Don't be too sad at that time, this is a surprise for you."

Cran shrugged, not planning to continue to quarrel with Liu Wenrui. Anyway, he couldn't argue with him. After a while, he would humiliate him well.

At this time, the above review also began.

Of course, it is now a preliminaries, so these coffee beans are roasted on site and brewed after air cooling. If they reach the national finals, you can prepare cooked and raw bean samples by yourself.

After all, the threshold for the preliminary round is still relatively low, and the finals are the time to take action. And when the finals in the entire African region were at that time, the standards were even higher. Each process would be supervised by a dedicated person.

In the first round, Lao Liu watched it very carefully. However, the quality of this batch of coffee was not very good. At least 120 of the coffee beans selected by the 130 entries were eliminated, and the probability was still very high.

This is just a preliminaries, it is equivalent to auditions.

However, what makes Lao Liu different is that it is obvious that many people at the scene were eliminated. However, there were not many sad expressions on their faces. They thought they just came over and played with them. Through this test, they saw what level their coffee was at.

Lao Liu also paid attention to the reviewers holding the review clips and kept writing and painting on them. During the review, they would take a sip of coffee, then spit out some, then rinse their mouths with clean water, and then taste the next cup.

This evaluation is really strict, with aroma, flavor, afterglow, acidity, mellowness, consistency, balance, cleanliness, sweetness, overall evaluation, and ten major items.

In addition, baking standards will be marked and suitable for grinding will be marked during evaluation. This is a small benefit for free. After the marking is clear, you can give a general recommendation when it is sold in the future.

Anyway, in Lao Liu's opinion, even those who passed the mark have not very high scores, they are all between 80 and 82 points, with slight differences after the decimal point. Those below 80 points are directly eliminated.

The situation in the second round was slightly better, and this time it was higher than 80 and there were sixteen places. However, the score was still not very high. This score was just barely shortlisted. It was impossible to get a higher name.

In the third round, when Liu Wenrui saw the numbers that were drawn, he accurately saw his own 58642 and was a little excited.

The scores in the previous game are so low. This time I give them a high score, which will definitely attract the attention of many people. It can be considered a fame in one battle? How strong will it be?

Thinking happily, he accidentally saw Cran's expression very happy. He was very depressed. Could this guy's number be in this round?

Although he was very confident, he was still a little nervous. After all, it was a competition. Whether it was successful could only be announced at the last moment.

There is still some distance from the review site. Even if Lao Liu has a good look, he can't see which one is his own coffee.

This period of time was a little tormented, because while expecting, he was also a little worried. Crane's smile was very bright, how could he rest assured?

Wait and wait, and the game was finally over. Old Liu stared at the screen next to him and looked at it. But he was shocked to find that among the eight numbers displayed on the screen, there was no 58642 of his own. The highest score was the coffee beans with 60173, reaching 86 points.

How is this possible? How can I not have my own coffee beans? Even if I roast them and brew them, my own coffee beans will perform very well.

"I was so lucky, I actually scored 86 points. It seems that I can get a good ranking in the finals in Kenya and the finals in the entire African region."

Old Liu was feeling nervous, and the annoying voice of Cran beside him rang again.

Old Liu looked at him expressionlessly, then stood up and walked towards the staff next to him. He had to apply for a review of this matter. His coffee beans were so good that it was impossible for him to pass the preliminaries.

He didn't believe that it was a coincidence with Cran's unified theory test. This was Cran's conspiracy. He must have bribed the relevant personnel and made trouble.

"Simon, what are you going to do? Why do I see you are very anxious?" Crane shouted with a smile behind him.

Liu Wenrui stopped, turned around and looked at him seriously, and walked towards the staff again.

The staff were surprised by Liu Wenrui's request for reconsideration. They have been working for many years and have never encountered such a request.

However, because Liu Wenrui has made this request now, the staff contacted the leader and attached great importance to this matter. In the preparation stage before the fourth round of the game, Lao Liu can be given a chance to watch it on site.

Lao Liu's abnormal behavior also made the rest of the people curious. They are all regular customers here and come here once a year. It is still very good to spend a little money to get professional reviews.

People like to watch the fun. Now they see the staff leading Lao Liu to the review site. They know that this is happening, so they are very curious.

In fact, Lao Liu also knew that his current action would definitely annoy the organizer because it was distrust of the organizer's event. But now he would not care about these things. What he thought was to find out where the link of this problem was.

Before he came to his coffee number, he first checked the raw beans placed next to them and roasted cooked beans. They were the same as those at home, without any subtle changes. Moreover, his coffee beans were too special and others could not fake them.

Then he picked up the coffee cup and tasted it carefully.

As soon as the coffee was in his mouth, his brows frowned. The taste was not right. The astringent taste was too strong, and it was definitely not the same as what I used to drink. Moreover, the aroma of this coffee fruit is very weak, with very little sweetness and a little bitterness.

He was really confused. What's going on? This is obviously not the taste that his coffee should have. Not to mention the ever-changing taste, even the ordinary taste is not as good as that.

If I hadn't learned much about coffee before, it would be fine to drink it. But after coming to Kenya, I had drunk a lot of coffee. If anyone dared to sell such a bad coffee to himself, he would definitely fall to the ground.

"Mr. Simon, do you know your coffee now? It's really bad." The judge here said expressionlessly.

"Sorry, I have a small request. Can I let me grind some cooked beans and try it?" Old Liu asked.

The judge shrugged his shoulders, it didn't matter.

Lao Liu hurriedly came to the grinder, grabbed some coffee beans, and started grinding.

In fact, when he just got the grip, he felt something was wrong with these cooked beans. After grinding, he was even more sure that there was something wrong with the cooked beans.

This time the cooked beans feel a little heavier than usual. When grinding, they also feel very stubborn.

He knew that he was indeed a thug. This matter must have been related to Crane, but he didn't know where the problem was.
