Entering the cupping room, besides Kang Yong and Cheng Na, there were others.
Both parties introduced each other.
Only then did Li Yichen find out that those people had come to the manor to exchange baristas, and there were also experts who came to do experiments.
"It's a coincidence, let's try some coffee."
Cheng Na greeted everyone warmly and made everyone a cup of coffee.
Take a sip and see the contrast.
Zhang Jin suddenly felt that the hand-brewed coffee he made in the morning was not even beggar-level.
After drinking coffee, Li Yichen didn't want to disturb Kang Yong and Cheng Na for too long, so he proposed to work in the coffee garden contracted by him.
"Akang, you go with Yichen and the others."
"Okay, Yichen, let's go, I'll take you there."
After leaving the cupping room, Kang Yong habitually began to introduce the coffee beans in the yard, pointing to the metal container in the corner.
“Last time we selected ripe, plump, fresh berries, and most of them were fermented anaerobically in specially designed containers.
The first ones are yellowish in color.
Those are washed beans. "
"What are washed beans?" Zhang Jin asked curiously.
“There are three traditional processing methods for green coffee beans, sun-drying, honey processing, and washing. Nowadays, anaerobic fermentation, fruity fermentation, etc. are popular in the industry.
No matter which processing method is used, it actually involves a core issue, coffee fermentation.
Therefore, different processing methods only use different fermentation environments and fermentation conditions to produce various flavors of green coffee beans.
It’s just the beginning of the production season, and this is the first batch of coffee we are processing.
Usually the first batch of fresh fruits are mainly processed by washing.After the second and third batches, the coffee will be a little sweeter, and then we will start to do some solar processing. "
"So it is."
Everyone nodded, expressing their understanding.
Kang Yong saw that Li Yichen and the others were willing to listen, and he was also willing to talk more.
“You see, these beans with clean and consistent colors are the first-grade green beans we grade.
The color in the middle is a bit uneven, which is the second level.
The last one over there is the third level.
My wife is very meticulous about grading green beans. When some buyers come, they will say that our second-grade beans can be sold as first-grade beans.
Each grade and different batches will be marked with this colored label.
We also have a few greenhouses, but they are not here.When the beans are almost dry, they will be moved to the greenhouse for further slow drying.
Every step, every detail we take now will make different differences, which will ultimately be reflected in the cup of coffee we drink.
So nothing can be careless. "
Ramble.
Zhang Jin used to drink black coffee simply as a fitness drink.Now after Kang Yong's introduction, I realized that there are so many doorways behind a cup of coffee.
Sure enough, it is not easy to be the top in every industry.
No one can succeed casually.
The coffee garden contracted by Li Yichen and the others is very close to the manor.
The moment of Kang Yong's introduction has arrived.
"It's here."
Kang Yong took four bamboo baskets at the entrance: "Put the fresh fruits you picked here. When they are full, take them to our yard. We have arranged special people to handle the fresh fruits."
"Okay, no problem, thank you, Brother Yong."
After Li Yichen thanked him, Kang Yong turned around and left with peace of mind.There are only people from the program team left in this coffee garden.
"Let's start working?"
Li Yichen inquired.
"let's start."
"Teach us how to pick it first."
Zhang Jin and Lin Qingtian are still novices. Everything they see is novel and they feel uneasy.
"It's very simple, like this, just twist your thumb and index finger and it will come down."
Li Yichen gave a simple demonstration and then said: "Only bright red and plump ones, nothing else is needed."
"It looks pretty simple."
Everyone officially started working.
An adult coffee tree produces approximately 0.9 pounds of coffee per year.
At this time, the coffee tree in front of everyone had mostly green fruits on every branch, with red coffee berries mixed in in twos and threes, and they had to pick them one by one with their hands.
“Da da da da”
The movements of all four were jerky and careful.
"It's so healing to pick this."
"It's quite fun to pick them off."
"really."
"Yeah, it's very relaxing."
10 minutes...half an hour...an hour...two hours...
There are more and more red fruits in the bamboo basket.
The four people became increasingly silent.
"I want to take back what I just said."
"I thought I wouldn't be tired picking this."
"My fingers are starting to hurt."
"My legs are sore from standing all the time."
"My back, ouch."
Sigh, regret, groan.
This ups and downs.
Their task today is to go through all the nearly 90 coffee trees.
Now more than two hours have passed, and the progress is less than one-third, which is simply despairing.
"We're going to speed up."
Li Yichen sighed: "Otherwise I won't be able to finish picking them even in the dark."
"It's a little slow."
Zhang Jin looked obviously more haggard than when he first arrived in the morning.
If Zhang Jin is asked to chop firewood for a day, he will grit his teeth and be very happy.But picking coffee beans, a delicate task using only two fingers, really tortured him and drove him crazy.
Lin Qingtian couldn't do anything anymore and asked to rest for a few minutes to slow down.
"I have thought before that when I get older, I will find a small village with beautiful scenery to live in for a year or two, raise flowers, grow vegetables, wait for the sunrise every day, and look forward to the sunset... It will be comfortable and beautiful .”
Li Yichen turned around: "What about now?"
Lin Qingtian put the bamboo basket in his arms on the ground and squatted on the ground, his eyes dull.
"Now? It's time to wake up from the dream."
Chapter 412 Give a Sweet Jujube
Time passes in labor.
Gradually, everyone found the secret to picking, and the speed was greatly accelerated.
Without complaining or laziness, the four people finally worked together to complete the picking work before dark.
"Thank you for your hard work~"
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's really more tiring than I thought."
"It doesn't look like a big place here. How can it be so tiring for four people?"
"hungry."
"Go back and start cooking quickly."
Everyone chatted and walked towards the manor. After handing over the picked fruits, they got in the car and went home.
"Give."
Wang Gaoming, who was in the front seat, turned around and handed over a red envelope.
"What is this? Money? You're not going to ask me to tell you a number and take most of the money away again, right?"
Li Yichen has a bit of post-traumatic stress reaction.
"No, not this time. The money in the envelope is all yours."
Wang Gaoming shook the envelope in his hand: "Do you want it? If not, I can take it."
"Yes, why not!"
Lin Qingtian snatched the envelope and put it in Qin Xiaoyue's hand.
