Chapter 37 Big Huyou and Admirers
"The boss is not here, so what I say about ordinary matters counts." Qiu Baohua smiled and asked Fan Heng and his son to sit down, then brought over the coffee that had already been brewed, and poured a cup for Fan Heng and his son each.
Fan Heng took a sip, and immediately frowned. He had never enjoyed this foreign thing before, and his mouth was full of bitterness for a while, thinking that Qiu Baohua brought some expired drink.
Looking back at his son, he saw Fan Wubing holding the quilt and tasting it, looking at ease.
"Not bad coffee, this is the authentic taste of Blue Mountain." Fan Wubing took a sip, suddenly a little surprised.
Before Fan Wubing was reborn, he drank authentic Blue Mountain coffee, and it was in its origin, so he was familiar with its taste. This kind of coffee has all the characteristics of good coffee. The combination of sweet, sour and bitter flavors is perfect, so there is no bitterness at all, only a moderate and perfect sour taste, which is hard to forget after one drink.
Unexpectedly, after rebirth, he could actually drink the authentic Blue Mountain more than 20 years earlier, Fan Wubing couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
"Little brother, did you drink it before?" Qiu Baohua was a little shocked.
This bit of coffee was collected by Qiu Baohua's boss, and he never took it out to entertain guests. Today, Qiu Baohua intentionally showed it off in front of Fan Wubing and his son, so he took it out to show off. What kind of taste came out, who knew that Fan Wubing only took a sip before telling the truth about the coffee, how could it not surprise Qiu Baohua?
This guy is really no ordinary kid! Thinking of all kinds of phenomena that happened to Fan Wubing, Qiu Baohua looked at Fan Wubing even more unusually.
"Hehe, I just know it." Of course, Fan Wubing couldn't say that he hadn't drank it before, but he would drink it in the future, so he shook the cup in his hand and laughed, "Almost everyone who has heard of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee knows that it is The most expensive coffee in the world, but not everyone knows why, and like Rolls-Royce motor cars and Stradivari violins, when something acquires the prestige of being the best in the world, this Prestige often makes it a character of its own, and becomes a perpetuated myth."
Fan Heng was in a cold sweat listening to it. Is this what my son said? Why can't I understand a little bit?
And Qiu Baohua looked awe-inspiring, and humbly asked for advice, "Our boss said before that this coffee is the best coffee in the world, but he doesn't know why it is the best. Do you know the details? ?”
Fan Wubing intentionally shocked Qiu Baohua, and said casually, "In 1717, King Louis XV of France ordered coffee to be planted in Jamaica. Imported Arabica seeds, and began to promote planting in the St. Andrew area. Until today, the St. Andrew area is still one of the three major producing areas of Jamaica's Blue Mountain coffee. By 1932, coffee production reached its peak and harvested The coffee produced is as many as 15,000 tons.
The Jamaican government established the Jamaica Coffee Industry Committee in 1950, which sets quality standards for Jamaican coffee and supervises the implementation of quality standards to ensure the quality of Jamaican coffee. The committee issues a special official seal on green and roasted coffee exported from Jamaica and is the highest level of national coffee agency in the world. At present, those who can represent the origin of Blue Mountain coffee include Mafes Embankment Central Factory (M.B.C.E), Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (M.H.C.C.T.), Portland Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (P.X.X.S.H.), Coffee Industry Association (Warren Ford ), Coffee Industry Association (St. John's Peak) and Blue Li (J.A.S) and other six logos.
Later coffee production encountered some difficulties. It was not until 1969 that the situation improved because of the use of Japanese loans to improve the quality of production, thus ensuring market supply.
"
After some words, both Qiu Baohua and Fan Heng were stunned. Seeing this, Fan Wubing smiled slightly and said, "Jamaica's weather, geological structure and terrain together provide an ideal place for coffee planting, so it produces coffee. The best Blue Mountain coffee. Their coffee trees all grow on the rugged hillsides, and the picking process is very difficult, and non-local skilled female workers are simply unable to do it. It is very important to choose the right ripe coffee beans when picking, immature or ripe It will affect the quality of coffee. The coffee beans will be shelled on the same day after picking, and then let them ferment. After that, the coffee beans are cleaned and screened, and the subsequent process is drying, which must be carried out on the concrete floor or thick blankets. Until the humidity of the coffee beans drops to a certain range, they are then placed in special warehouses for storage. When needed, they are taken out, roasted, and ground into powder. These procedures must be strictly controlled, otherwise, the quality of coffee will be affected. Only because Japan People have always invested in the Jamaican coffee industry. Now most of the Blue Mountain coffee is in the hands of the Japanese, and they have also obtained the right of first refusal of Blue Mountain coffee. Ninety percent of the Blue Mountain coffee is in the hands of the Japanese. It's only about 600 tons, so there is always a price for this stuff, but it's thanks to Mr. Qiu that I can have a drink today."
After a long time, Qiu Baohua sighed, "Listening to Brother Fan's words is really a kind of knowledge! When our boss comes back, he can learn and sell now, which shocked him! But I really don't know where Brother Fan's knowledge came from. Where did it come from?"
"What kind of knowledge is this?" Fan Wubing said bluntly, "I usually read more books, newspapers and magazines, and I can know everything."
Qiu Baohua didn't think so. Such a young child not only understands the way of business, but also has such a great knowledge to discuss the history of coffee in the cup. Who would believe this? Originally, he didn't believe in such things as geniuses, but now under the witness of Fan Wubing as a special case, he couldn't help but not believe it. He even thought that even the term "genius" was not enough to describe a freak like Fan Wubing up.
Because of Fan Wubing's flickering, Qiu Baohua became Fan Wubing's fan directly.
No one could have predicted this change.
