Ye Liwei raised her hand: "Remember."

Li Yichen and Qin Xiaoyue both looked at Wang Gaoming quietly without speaking.

"Is such that."

Wang Gaoming continued: "We urgently contacted the special consultant, Village Chief Hu. After careful discussion, we now have a new plan.

Do you know avocado? "

"Eat every day."

Ye Liwei and Qin Xiaoyue said in unison.

Wang Gaoming smiled and nodded: "Coincidentally, in addition to coffee plantations everywhere, Dingpei Village also has another emerging pillar industry, which is avocado cultivation.

From October to March next year, it happens to be the avocado picking period.

Therefore, the program team provides you with a brand new way to get rich, which is to pick avocados. "

"Is it a contract again?"

Li Yichen asked the question he was most concerned about.

"This time it's not a contract, it's a temporary job."

Wang Gaoming explained: “Taking into account your time and proficiency, the avocado farm provides a flexible employment method with a piece-rate system.

It's easy to understand. The piece-rate system means money is calculated based on the box. One basket can hold about 40 kilograms. If you pick a full basket, you can get 20 yuan.

You may not have much idea about this. Based on the average weight of a single avocado of 200 grams, you can earn 200 yuan for almost every 20 avocados picked. "

"Just... pick 10 for 1 yuan?!"

Li Yichen did a quick calculation and was shocked: "So we now have a debt of 200 yuan, that is... 2000?! 400 kilograms?!"

"2000?!!!"

It’s not that she didn’t know, but she was startled. Qin Xiaoyue exclaimed: “This… this… this is too scary.”

I didn't feel it when I borrowed the money to spend it, but now I have to pay off the debt. The heavy figure of 400 kilograms makes me breathless.

"Fortunately, I'm leaving tonight."

For a moment, Ye Liwei was glad that she was not a regular guest.

"Then, work hard, everyone, the road to wealth is at your feet."

Wang Gaoming gave a word of encouragement and disappeared behind the camera.

2000...

400kg...

400kg...

2000...

These two numbers flashed repeatedly in Li Yichen's mind.

He began to miss Fuhua Island.

I started to miss the leisurely time when I only had to fish.

Isn’t fishing easier than picking fruits?

Did he, the king of fishing, waste his time in the orchard?

Sad, sigh.

Chapter 404 Champion Coffee Manor

The silver-white pickup truck drove on the winding mountain road.

"Haha, if you are really scared, I can drive slower."

The driver was a dark-skinned middle-aged man with a Chinese character, Kang Yong, the owner of the coffee estate, who drove here specially to pick him up.

"I'm not afraid at all."

Li Yichen put on a business smile and held on to the safety armrest with his right hand.

Qin Xiaoyue and Ye Liwei in the back seat were also in the same position. They wished they could get another seat belt to secure themselves crosswise.

The mountain road is really bumpy.

"Then can I drive faster?"

Kang Yong stepped on the accelerator a little harder, and the pickup truck immediately roared in response.

"Don't don't..."

Li Yichen hurriedly stopped: "Boss Kang, Brother Yong, you see the cars from the program team behind us can hardly keep up. Why don't we drive slowly and wait for them."

"Yeah yeah."

The two people in the back seat also echoed.

"Okay, then I'll slow down."

Hearing this, Kang Yong eased off the accelerator and said with a smile: "Your car can't drive on this mountain road. If you had known this earlier, you should have asked my wife to drive here. Even if your program team has many people and equipment, it will take several trips back and forth." . There have been program crews who have come to interview us before, for news, documentaries, etc., but they are very simple, two people, one camera, and my car is enough."

"When we shoot variety shows, there are a little more people and machines."

Li Yichen and the others went to the coffee garden in the morning to receive quick training before contracting the coffee beans. Before they had time to learn about the conditions of Kang Yong and his coffee garden, he said in surprise: "News, documentaries, Brother Yong, your coffee garden is very famous."

"Haha, no, no, just average."

Kang Yong was modest, but his expression showed a vague pride that could not be concealed.

After nearly half an hour of turbulence, the pickup truck drove into an old compound.

Li Yichen and the other three couldn't wait to jump out of the car, and the sense of security on the ground soothed their pounding little hearts.

"This is our coffee estate, welcome."

Kang Yong's voice brought back the spirit of the three of them to leave.

Li Yichen took a quick look and saw that the spacious yard, which was at least a thousand square meters, was sparsely decorated with a kind of net-shaped bed. The net was full of bright red fruits.

“Brother Yong, are the coffee fruits drying on top?”

"Yes, the drying bed is full of fresh coffee fruits that we have just harvested. We are now preparing for further selection. At that time, experts will conduct comparative experiments using different processing methods."

Kang Yong took Li Yichen and the others to a drying bed and randomly picked a dark red fruit: "A fruit that is all red like this is a ripe fruit. It is ripe and plump. It is specially used for this year's coffee." Do you want to try the competition coffee beans prepared by the contestants in the division competition?"

"Is this still edible?"

"Of course you can eat it. Like me, if you squeeze it with your hands, the white pulp will come out."

Perhaps in order to increase his credibility, Kang Yong directly threw one into his mouth: "The reason why fresh coffee fruits are called fresh fruits is because they are originally a kind of fruit. The Arabs have not found that you can drink coffee with water." Sometimes, in order to refresh myself, I sometimes just eat coffee and fresh fruit.”

"Then I'll take one."

Li Yichen imitated Kang Yong's actions, picked a bright red and plump coffee fruit from the drying bed, pinched the peel and took a bite.

"Hey, it's sour and sweet. It tastes better than I imagined."

"There is less rain this year, so fresh fruits with low moisture content will be sweeter."

Kang Yong smiled and said: "Our place is mainly a Katim planting base, and there is also a small amount of Typica."

"Is there any difference?" Li Yichen was confused.

"The difference...how to put it..."

Kang Yong thought for a moment and explained: "To put it simply, the output is different.

If we want to delve deeper, we have to start with their varieties.

In our conventional knowledge, there are three main types of coffee beans in the world, namely Arabica, Robusta and Liberica.

In high altitude areas, Arabica coffee grows best and has a wide planting range. About 80% of the global coffee production every year is Arabica. The flavor of this coffee is much more delicate than other coffees, and it also contains caffeine. The content only accounts for 1% of the total weight of coffee.

Robusta coffee has a mellow taste, strong resistance to pests and diseases, and a high yield per plant.This type of coffee grows in low-altitude areas and is mostly used as a blended bean, accounting for about 15-20% of global production each year.

The Liberica species is very rare in our country. Due to its low yield and difficulty in commercialization, it only accounts for about 1 to 2% of the annual global production.

Therefore, both Katim and Typica can be regarded as variants of Arabica.

Compared with Typica, Katim has a quarter of the Robusta bloodline, so it has stronger resistance to viruses and higher yields. It is easy to plant and manage, and everyone is willing to grow it. "

"understood."

Ye Liwei nodded.

"So...Sister Li Wei, how many types of coffee beans are there?" Qin Xiaoyue's CPU was already overloaded. She pulled Ye Liwei's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"not understand."

Ye Liwei replied quietly.

Qin Xiaoyue: "..."

"Three types. It can be understood that Typica is a pure Arabica bean, while Katim is a hybrid between Arabica and Robusta."

Li Yichen, who was close by, smiled and explained: "Arabica has better quality and richer flavor; Robusta has a higher concentration of caffeine and a sour and astringent flavor. Catim inherits the advantages of the two varieties, But it also has the disadvantages of being a little sour and astringent.”

"So that's it." Qin Xiaoyue looked at Li Yichen with admiration. He was indeed her top student brother Yichen.

"Host Li is right."

Kang Yong was a little surprised by the learning and understanding ability of the young and handsome male host in front of him.

"I just usually like to drink coffee, and I have learned a little bit about it out of curiosity."

Li Yichen waved his hand: "Brother Yong, you can just call me Yichen or Xiaochen. My friends and colleagues all call me this."

"Haha, okay then, I'll call you Yichen."

Kang Yong raised his hand in a 'please' gesture: "In that case, I will ask my wife to make a few cups of coffee for you to taste. By the way, you all drink coffee, right?"

"I drink."

"I drink too."

"We all drink."
