Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1191 Picking Coffee Beans

Seeing Zhao Lei, Elisa immediately ran towards him, and asked with a charming smile, "Zhao Lei, why are you here?"

"Everyone started picking coffee fruits today, of course I want to come and see." Zhao Lei said with a smile, "But I didn't expect that you would come to help too."

Elisa smiled and said: "My father said that since everyone is a worker on the farm, we can't just care about the tobacco field. As long as it is the farm, we must care about it. Picking coffee fruits is a big event, of course everyone should come together Just do it."

The girl's words made Zhao Lei nod secretly. Lopez still has a good view of the overall situation. Letting him be in charge of the work of the tobacco farmers is indeed a correct decision.

Elisa didn't think so much about Zhao Lei, she turned around in front of him and asked, "Do I look good today?"

"Ahem..." Unexpectedly, Elisa would ask herself such a question in front of so many people, and Zhao Lei couldn't help coughing in embarrassment.

But embarrassment is embarrassment, and Zhao Lei has to admit that Elisa is really beautiful in a tight T-shirt and shorts.He couldn't bear to ignore the girl's expectant gaze, so he nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "It's pretty, it's really pretty!"

"Hee hee, as long as you like it! I'm off to work, goodbye." Elisa smiled at Zhao Lei, and went back to work with her little friend.

When a girl saw Elisa coming back, she didn't know what to say to her, which immediately aroused the mixed-race girl's coquettish anger, and the other girls all giggled.

Seeing this scene, many elderly employees showed meaningful smiles and looked towards Zhao Lei involuntarily.

And those young employees who have a crush on Elisa feel very hopeless.The girl of their dreams is apparently very close to the boss, so there is obviously no hope for them.

Even Elisa's father, Lopez, saw what happened just now, but he didn't express anything. Instead, he smiled and smoked a homemade cigarette, as if letting things develop freely.

On the contrary, Zhao Lei felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly excused himself to see other people picking coffee fruits, and left here as if fleeing.

In order to pick ripe coffee fruits in time, Zhong Jiahong transferred almost all the workers to the coffee garden, and busy workers can be seen everywhere in the coffee garden.

Everyone picked the ripe red coffee cherries and sent them all to the sink, where they were continuously rinsed with the stream water drawn from the mountain.Until the red flesh on the outside is washed away, leaving only the nuts in it.

This process will last for several days, and the coffee cherries will gradually be washed to the end of the sink, and all that will remain at the end of the sink will be clean nuts.

The next step is the most important step in making coffee beans - roasting. This step can determine the flavor of coffee beans, and it must not be neglected.The good thing is that Richard Hammond, the master coffee roaster who is being introduced, will arrive in a few days, so Zhao Lei doesn't have to worry about this part of the steps.

Watching the workers pour the large frame of coffee fruit into the sink, Zhao Lei said to Zhong Jiahong with satisfaction: "It seems that the harvest of coffee trees this year is good."

Zhong Jiahong said with a smile on his face: "It's not only good, it's a surprise! Judging from today's picking situation, the yield of each coffee tree is at least [-] kilograms!"

Hearing this data, Zhao Lei was also secretly surprised.

The output of coffee trees varies according to the variety. The output of the relatively high Kadim variety is generally only [-] to [-] kilograms per tree.As for the coffee trees in the Malaysian farm, the first yield is [-] kilograms. If it enters the high yield period in a few years, the yield will definitely be even higher. This is simply a miracle in the coffee industry.

But since these coffee trees are all cultivated in Hulu Space, it is not surprising that they have performed so well.Now just wait for that master coffee roaster to come to the farm and see how good the final coffee beans are.

For the next week or so, the focus of the farm's work will be picking coffee cherries.As the coffee cherries mature, everyone works harder to send more and more coffee cherries to the tank for the first step of processing.

As all the coffee fruits on the tree were picked, Zhao Lei also knew the exact yield of the coffee tree. The average yield of each coffee tree reached a staggering 720 kilograms, which was exactly the same as Zhong Jiahong's speculated data.

Based on the ratio of one kilogram of coffee beans per five kilograms of coffee cherries, it is speculated that the coffee bean output of the entire coffee garden this year will eventually be around 150 tons.Considering the small-scale coffee garden, it is definitely a bumper harvest.

This also made Zhao Lei very happy, announcing in public that in order to celebrate the harvest of the coffee garden, every employee will be paid double salary this month to celebrate.This news naturally made everyone overjoyed, and they were all happy to have such a generous boss.

At the same time, the coffee cherries picked on the first day have been thoroughly rinsed off the pulp in the sink, exposing the kernels.Zhong Jiahong personally led the workers to collect nuts, and now everything is ready, just waiting for Richard Hammond to come to the farm.

Of course Yu Zheng would not disappoint Zhao Lei, and he and Hammond came to Zhao Lei's farm two days later.

Zhao Lei didn't expect that Yu Zheng would come with Hammond, so he hurriedly went to the gate of the farm to greet the two, and walked towards Yu Zheng with a smile: "Mr. Yu, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came in person."

Yu Zheng laughed and said: "Haha, Master Zhao, you also know that I only have two hobbies, horses and coffee. Knowing that Xianhu Company is about to launch coffee, how can I still sit still, of course I have to come and have a look, and strive to be the first A person who has tasted the fairy gourd coffee!"

Speaking of this, Yu Zheng looked at the middle-aged man next to him and said to Zhao Lei: "Let me introduce you, this is the famous coffee roaster, Mr. Richard Hammond, Hammond, this is The young and promising man I told you about, Mr. Zhao Lei, the owner of this farm."

Hammond is a middle-aged man with a short stature and a slightly melancholy expression. Wearing an English suit, he looks like a very old-fashioned British gentleman.

This also means that Hammond will definitely not be as enthusiastic as Yu Zheng. He just nodded politely to Zhao Lei, and after a few pleasantries, he cut to the point and said, "Mr. Mr. trusts me. But one thing must be said first, I come to your farm, does not mean that I agree to roast coffee beans for you. First of all, it depends on the quality of the coffee fruit. If the quality is average, I suggest you still Get someone else to do the job!"
