Rebirth 1988 Farming and Raising Children

Chapter 259
It takes a long time to obtain a health license for abalone processing, a business license, and some procedures for exporting overseas.

Jiang Ancheng couldn't stay here for a long time, and Xiao Yu'er also missed her mother.

Jiang Ancheng thought about sending Xiao Yu'er back to China first, and then handle the matter here himself.

When he decided to return to China, Xiaoyuer was obviously much happier.

Although the place is very good and the commercial, economic and artistic atmosphere is better than that in China, my mother and sister Qilin are both at home.

Xiao Yu'er couldn't wait to go back and show Sun Miaolan and Duoduo the photos and the DVD of the day he won the award.

Jiang Ancheng decided to return to China and asked Zhang Zhen to book a flight. He also asked Zhang Zhen to stay here and handle the export issues. After Jiang Ancheng returned to China, he would also go to the Sun Country and the Kimchi Country to find suppliers for long-term cooperation.

When he came, he only brought Zhang Zhen, a relatively reliable and familiar employee. Jiang Ancheng could not trust the others for the time being, so Jiang Ancheng could only choose Zhang Zhen.

As a secretary, being able to receive such a big and important task, and handle this kind of business abroad, and also have the use of the boss's big villa and car, is simply the beginning of a luxurious life.

Zhang Zhen quickly agreed and booked a flight for Jiang Ancheng.

What a coincidence, the air tickets have been sold out in the past two days.

The fastest air tickets are available only after midnight.

The day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow!

Since he was going back soon, Jiang Ancheng planned to take the children to have fun for a few more days and buy some famous local specialties.

Many foreign things are strange. Xiao Yuer likes cheese ice cream, Li Guoguo likes local velvet chocolate, and Zeng Shuanglin likes coffee.

When Jiang Ancheng saw Zeng Shuanglin taking a lot of coffee and putting it in the shopping cart, he suddenly thought that Yuncheng would become a national coffee planting base in the future.

The traditional drink in China is tea, and milk tea derived from it will also be very popular in the future.

However, coffee flows into the country from abroad and has always occupied half of the domestic market. In the international market, coffee is far more popular than milk tea.

Its huge profits allow Yuncheng's coffee planting area to expand every year.

Coffee has also become an indispensable thing in the life of urban beauties.

When working overtime, a cup of coffee can refresh your mind and make more hardworking workers flock to it.

I don’t know if it has any effect, but it is true that it makes money.

Jiang Ancheng suddenly thought that coffee was not grown in Yuncheng yet, nor did it have the technology to grow coffee.

In preparation for this trip, Jiang Ancheng brought back coffee saplings and hired someone to take care of the planting.

Anyway, now that he has money, Jiang Ancheng will be able to hire the most powerful planting master.

Jiang Ancheng found Chef Al and asked Chef Al to ask where the largest coffee plantation was.

Chef Al was a little confused, "Why are you asking? Do you want to experience picking coffee?" Just like the last time he went to Yuncheng to experience truffle digging?
But soon, Chef Al’s eyes lit up.

Coffee is such a good thing, but there are still very few shops open in China.

People in their country love drinking coffee so much. In the future, more and more Chinese people will like to drink coffee. This represents a huge market!

Chef Al said cheerfully: "You want people to grow coffee, right? But isn't the most popular drink in your place tea?"

Chef Al is not sure whether the Huaguo market will be overtaken by coffee in the future. After all, he is not as vicious as Jiang Ancheng.

If he hadn't started the truffle exporting business with Jiang Ancheng, he would still be just a somewhat famous cook without having such a lot of wealth.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "Yes, that's the plan."

Jiang Ancheng planned to grow coffee, and Chef Al wanted a piece of the pie. He hurriedly said: "I can invest!"

You will definitely make money by following Jiang Ancheng!
Jiang Ancheng would definitely not be happy if he gave away some of the company's things that he expected to make money.

But the more funds, the better. If it becomes a big company, it will definitely need financing.

Jiang Ancheng didn't refuse. He asked Al to inquire about the plantation first and then asked the children to set off.

The coffee plantation that Chef Al heard about is a two-hour drive away.

The children got on the bus and saw the landscapes of Europe all the way. They couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful it was.

Although they are all beautiful places on earth, the feelings are just different.

Maybe it's the cloud, or maybe it's the person, or maybe it's the round mountains and short, fat trees.

In his last life, Jiang Ancheng had thought that he would be able to take his children and wife to Europe.

It's a pity that he was just a cripple all his life, and in the end, Sun Miaolan died before him.

Looking at the blue sky and Xiao Yu'er's little face, he couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. If this was a dream, he hoped he would never wake up.

Suddenly, Jiang Ancheng saw a short hilltop coming out in front of him. There were some very neat shrubs planted on the hilltop, which looked a bit like the neatly trimmed tea trees in his country.

At this time, Chef Al said: "There are coffee trees in front of us!"

When they heard the word coffee, the children discussed it for a while, and finally the clever Zeng Shuanglin told them: "Coffee is the coffee drink we drank last time."

Xiao Yu'er frowned: "That one doesn't taste good, it's so bitter!"

Li Guoguo said: "It tastes delicious with sugar! In fact, it's not that bad! Although I don't like it very much!"

Soon, Jiang Ancheng and the others got off the bus.

No greeting was given in advance, and the host was confused as to what they were here for.

The translator explained that he wanted to visit the coffee garden and was willing to buy coffee seedlings.

The owner immediately beamed with joy and welcomed Jiang Ancheng and the others into the plantation.

European plantations are very well behaved and everything looks clean.

Their labor is relatively expensive, so many of the planters are foreigners.

These foreigners have all traveled across the ocean to work.

Among them was a Chinese.

When Zhang Tiansheng saw Jiang Ancheng, he was stunned and thought he was from the Sun Country or the Kimchi Country.

Suddenly, when he heard Xiao Yu'er speaking Chinese, he smiled excitedly and waved to them: "Hello!"

He seemed to have been here for too long, and he spoke with an English accent.

Jiang Ancheng was surprised that there was a Chinese here, and the owner called Zhang Tiansheng to come forward and asked Zhang Tiansheng to explain the service to them.After finally being able to communicate with his compatriots, who still acted like big bosses, Zhang Tiansheng became more enthusiastic and asked actively: "What are you here for? If you have any questions, you can ask me, I know everything. I’ve been working here for five years!”

Xiao Yu'er was shocked: "Five years, have you not been back home in five years?"

Zhang Tiansheng's smile froze for a moment.

He quickly returned to normal and said: "I haven't been back home in five years. Isn't it quite busy here? I can't go back even if I want to!"

Children believe it, but only adults understand the sadness.

Nowadays, international air tickets are quite expensive. Zhang Tiansheng probably doesn't have the money to go back. If he has money, he probably takes a boat.

Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Jiang Ancheng came here to see the coffee trees.

Zhang Tiansheng led them to the coffee tree and introduced them carefully: "This is the coffee tree. It has just begun to bear fruit. You have come at the right time."

When everyone took a closer look, they saw coffee cherries that looked like red beans and were slightly larger than red beans.

Xiao Yuer asked curiously: "Uncle, can this coffee fruit be eaten?"

Zhang Tiansheng smiled and said: "It's edible, it's edible, and it's also sweet!"

Xiao Yu'er grabbed one and gave it to Li Guoguo and Zeng Shuanglin first, then threw one into his mouth.

Jiang Ancheng had eaten coffee cherries in his previous life. In fact, they didn’t have a good taste. They were just a layer of sticky pulp on the outside and coffee beans, or coffee seeds, on the inside.

The little fish chewed it and felt that the taste was very strange, not sweet at all.

Xiaoyuer wanted to vomit, but out of politeness, he swallowed it hard.

Xiao Yu'er said: "I don't like it very much."

Zeng Shuanglin also said: "The coffee seems to taste better, but the fruit is not delicious."

Li Guoguo agreed: "It's better to make it into coffee!"

Li Guoguo didn't think coffee tasted good before, but after eating the fruit, between raw coffee cherries and coffee, she would still choose coffee.

Xiao Yu'er asked curiously: "Dad, how is this processed into coffee? I don't think it tastes like it at all?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tiansheng hurriedly said to Xiao Yu'er: "I will take you to visit our coffee processing workshop. You will know after seeing it!"

Xiao Yu'er's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay!"

As they walked toward the processing workshop, they could see workers carrying coffee beans on their backs and pouring them onto a conveyor belt.

Zhang Tiansheng said to the operating conveyor belt: "This conveyor belt can transport freshly picked coffee cherries to the water tank. The coffee cherries need to be soaked in it for a day. Everyone, follow me!"

Zhang Tiansheng led them to the sink and pointed to the coffee fruits that had sunk to the bottom of the water. "The fruits will sink after soaking for a long time. If they float on the surface, they are unqualified and need to be removed."

Xiao Yu'er saw someone salvage the unqualified coffee berries and put them in a basket on one side, and asked curiously: "Are these all going to be thrown away?"

The worker shook his head and Zhang Tiansheng explained: "It will be sent to be processed and made into fertilizer."

Soon, everyone followed Zhang Tiansheng's footsteps and came to a row of machines.

After the washed and soaked coffee cherries are fed into the machine, the machine rumbles and flips several times before the outer skin of the coffee cherries is knocked off, revealing the shape of the coffee beans.

At this time, fermentation and degumming need to be carried out.

Fermentation is to break down the mucous membrane of the coffee beans, and degumming is a further step through machinery to remove the mucus on the mucous membrane.

After both steps are completed, wash again and then dry or bake.

In the past, when there was no machinery, farmers dried coffee beans naturally.

But now, with the acceleration of mechanization, they all use dryers.

The cleaned coffee beans are sent in, and after a while, you can get the roasted and dried coffee beans.

After reaching this step, you need to put it in a dry enough place and peel off the outer skin of the coffee beans to get coffee beans with pure flavor.

Jiang Ancheng listened to Zhang Tiansheng's explanation and realized later that he was talking about the most troublesome method of making coffee beans.

There are several common coffee bean processing methods. The method used by this farm is the water washing processing method. It is a bit of a water washing process. The coffee beans will be more complete, and there is no need to worry about mildew. The quality is relatively stable, but it is not good. The problem is that the cost is relatively high, the process is more complicated, especially the water consumption is relatively large.

There is a river below the plantation, and the farmer draws his water from there. Although there will be a small amount of pollution to the river water, the farmer feels that the impact should not be big. The water is cheap, so the cost will be low.

There are two other methods, both of which Jiang Ancheng heard from coffee bean growers in his previous life.

First of all, the semi-washing process is similar to the water-washing method, but it uses less water than the water-washing method. It can be said to be a combination of water-washing and sun-drying. Therefore, the shortcomings are also obvious and the process is extremely cumbersome.

The third method is the simplest method. The process is very simple. Just shave off the bad coffee beans and then dry them in the sun.

The cost is very low, but the risk is also the highest.

Because if the weather is bad and the moisture returns, the coffee beans will easily become moldy and the appearance will not be good, resulting in a loss of more money.

As they continued to move forward, everyone smelled the strong smell of coffee.

Xiao Yu'er said happily: "Dad, the coffee tastes so good!"

I really didn't think it tasted very good before, but now Xiao Yu'er even thought about trying it.

Jiang Ancheng followed Zhang Tiansheng into the processing room and saw rows of roasted coffee.

The quality of these coffees seemed to be very good. Looking at the dark and shiny color, Jiang Ancheng couldn't help but touch it.

The coffee beans are of really good quality and have a rich aroma.

Only roasted coffee beans have the strong aroma of coffee. Now you only need to grind the coffee beans to get mellow coffee powder and brew coffee.

Zhang Tiansheng smiled and said to Jiang Ancheng: "Foreigners nowadays are very particular. What they like most is to grind the coffee before brewing, because when the coffee is ground into powder, it oxidizes and releases the aroma. I will give you a taste now. What? It’s real coffee.”

Soon, Zhang Tiansheng saw the ground coffee powder put into a beautiful cup.

Xiao Yu'er said: "Isn't this our cup?"

Zhang Tiansheng said: "Everything I gave you was given to you. Who told you to behave so well?"

Xiao Yu'er was very happy. When he looked at the two friends around him, he quickly shook his head and said, "Thank you, I don't want it anymore. None of my friends have it!"

Zhang Tiansheng didn't expect that Xiao Yu'er, at such a young age, would already care about his elders.

He quickly said to Xiao Yu'er: "We still have a few brand-new cups. I'll get them for you later!"
