031 Coffee roasting is not simple
(Thanks to my friend Likeicewolf 100,000 Coins, thanks to my friend for a beautiful woman who can't keep 100,000 Coins, and thanks to my friend ljx73 for his encouragement)
Comrade Lao Liu drove the car to lead the way in front, and after returning home, he designated a warehouse for the delivery person to unload the goods, and you don't have to worry about it. The loading has to be loaded for half a day, and the unloading time is not short.
He waved to Comrade Lao Ma, who was looking forward to it, and Lao Ma also followed him happily to the house. His eyes were always fixed on the contract in Liu Wenrui's hand.
This is when Liu Wenrui drove from the government department here when he was waiting for the car to be loaded. Otherwise, you have to write by hand, which is too laborious.
The current Comrade Lao Ma is a serious full-time worker. Therefore, you can't pay a daily wage, you have to pay a monthly wage. Twenty-five thousand shillings a month, six days a week.
There is an additional clause in the contract, after all, the planting and operation of this coffee garden is still a little different, so in terms of working hours, it is flexible. Not only do you have to take care of the coffee trees, but you also have to help manage the entire farm.
Now this month's salary also covers his housing allowance. At noon, if Liu Wenrui is at home, they can eat together.
But even so, after signing, Masika directly gave Liu Wenrui a big hug, which made Comrade Liu a little breathless.
Masika really couldn't control her excitement, as a perennial worker, of course she knew what kind of rank a monthly salary of 25,000 shillings represented in Kenya.
Let's put it this way, in Kenya's economically developed cities such as Nairobi and Kisumu and Mombasa, the monthly salary of most workers is about 15,000 shillings.
Now the price code given by Liu Wenrui is definitely the price code of the executive level. How can Comrade Lao Ma not be crazy?
If it is said that the salary given to him by Comrade Liu for the first time was adjusted to a daily salary of 400 shillings, it was a thousand dollars to buy horse bones. This time it was even more thorough, "click" all of a sudden, and directly bought the horse heart.
As far as Masika is so excited now, Comrade Liu feels as if it is a little excessive. He knew that Lao Ma would definitely be happy, but he didn't expect that he would be so happy that he almost forgot what he was doing.
In his mind, it was a very simple thing.
Positioning Masika in her job is similar to that of a farm supervisor or housekeeper. If it is said that it is an executive of the company, it is not bad.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to make up such a supplementary agreement below, and Comrade Lao Ma would be equivalent to a full-time worker on the farm, where he needed to go.
And although he hasn't been here for a long time, his behavior and inherent concepts are still following domestic standards.
A monthly salary of 25,000 shillings will be shocking. That's a lot, it's over 10,000. But what if it is changed to the domestic standard? It's less than 1,700 yuan.
In China, even if you find a cleaning yard for the factory, and do other sanitation work by the way, if you hire such a person, you won't be able to get off for 1,700.
This is also a cognitive error, but even if there is an error, the overall effect is still very good.
Comrade Lao Ma's face was full of tears, which made Liu Wenrui's heart very satisfied. It may be a little bit more than what you pay, but it's worth it. It's not just one person, it's a family.
And if Lao Ma really helps him manage the coffee garden well, then the future income will definitely be worthy of his salary.
Let the old horse be happy on the side, Liu Wenrui moved all the coffee beans down when he got to the car. Don't look at the bag is quite heavy, for him now, it's really nothing.
He didn't plan to sell it, so he pondered and roasted some coffee beans himself. It doesn't matter if you drink it yourself or give it away, it's not a branded coffee.
Realistically, this coffee bean roasting process has an orthodox name, which is called roasting.
Liu Wenrui thought this was a very simple thing at first, but after slipping around on the Internet, he realized that it was not so simple.
After a little inquiry with Lao Ma, what is the taste of a cup of coffee, the color of coffee beans accounts for sixty percent. The baking process, that is, the frying method, accounts for 30%. The rest is the credit for extraction.
There are too many requirements for baking in all aspects. Anyway, after Liu Wenrui looked at it for a while, he felt that his head was big.
Fortunately, Franklin, a young man, has some pitfalls, but he can still do it. He has an electric oven at home, which is specially used to roast coffee.
It's all computer programs, you put the coffee beans in it, press the corresponding button, and the machine goes by itself. The whole process takes about 18 minutes.
This is still Liu Wenrui's relatively small number of coffee beans, if there are more, it will take a little longer.
The main thing is that he hasn't done this job before, and he doesn't know what this machine looks like when it's finished. Anyway, I took Masika's suggestion and chose medium baking. It's mild-medium, and below this level, there's a higher level of medium baking.
Lao Ma was not idle, he didn't ask Liu Wenrui for instructions, he also grabbed two handfuls of coffee beans and put them in a pan, then lit a fire, and carried a shovel to stir-fry.
"Masika, you can also roast coffee?" asked Liu Wenrui curiously.
Masika shrugged her shoulders, "Boss, do you think you can afford finished coffee for a poor person like us? ”
"A lot of the time we pick wild coffee in the field, process it, and fry it ourselves at home. For us, that kind of coffee is already a great drink. ”
Masika said it very easily, but Lao Liu felt a little sad when he heard it.
But this is also something that can't be helped, helping the urgent is not helping the poor. What kind of life can be in Lao Ma's family depends on his own efforts.
"Oh, by the way, boss, it's better not to use freshly roasted coffee beans directly for coffee. Leave it on for a while, huh...... It will take about ten hours or more for the taste to be at its best. Masika continued.
"Haha, thank you, I really want to drink it after the roast. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
If Masika hadn't said it, he really didn't know there was such a thing.
However, it can also be seen from this simple knowledge that it is really not easy to drink a cup of coffee with a mellow taste.
This baking process is so cumbersome and complicated. Not to mention, there is also the craft of making coffee in the back.
I don't know, there are many people selling roasted food in my hometown, and this baking is similar to roasted food. Some people are good to fry it, and some people are not popular if they are fried, which means that there is technology in it.
