Although there were doubts in his heart, Lao Liu also obediently sat in the waiting area. On the big screen next to you, the number of participants in each round of evaluation will be typed, and you can watch it here and you're done.

Lao Liu took a closer look at the scene, and was able to select more than 100 people almost at a time. There's a dedicated coffee roaster, and one person is in charge of multiple small woks.

Of course, this small wok is like a pot like a common machine fried melon seeds in China, but it is just a small one. In front of these small woks, there is also a dedicated barista in charge of brewing.

At this point, Lao Liu gave a thumbs up in his heart. Because those who can be selected must be at the master level. Hand-brewed coffee tastes better to him.

No matter how advanced science is, no matter how smart the machine is, many things cannot completely replace human manual work.

What made Lao Liu very depressed was that not long after sitting here for a while, Crane actually came over. Even if he was separated from him by three positions, he was very angry when he looked at his smiling expression.

He had been thinking about this in his heart just now, and now he was even more worried.

This thing never does useless things, but I don't know how he wants to mess with himself today. In other words, he is also very confident that he can achieve a good result in the preliminaries today. Score higher than your own, and then humiliate yourself?

"Mr. Simon, it's a coincidence. There are so many empty seats over there, but I'm sitting here. ”

Seeing Liu Wenrui looking over, Crane greeted politely again.

"Crane, are you tired from living?" asked Lao Liu coldly.

Crane was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out what Liu Wenrui's question meant.

"Look at you, every day you have to calculate this, calculate that, calculate and calculate, and calculate and vomit blood for yourself. Do you say you're not tired of living like this?" Lao Liu analyzed for Crane in a serious manner.

Hearing that Liu Wenrui brought up the matter of vomiting blood again, Crane's face darkened directly. Hitting people does not slap people in the face, and exposing people does not expose shortcomings. Even if he hadn't heard this sentence, Lao Liu would have poked his scar directly.

"Simon, although you are very confident in your coffee beans, I and many others are even more confident in our coffee beans. Crane said, looking at him.

"If your coffee beans want to be included in the unified auction, I am sure that the price will be low. If you want to participate in the second window, sell directly to overseas buyers. I can also guarantee that it will be difficult for you to get a bank guarantee. ”

"Crane, I didn't expect you to care so much about my business. Lao Liu glanced at him and did not show weakness.

"But don't worry, after this competition, I'm sure those buyers will contact me directly. Don't be too sad then, it's a surprise for you. ”

Crane shrugged his shoulders, not planning to continue arguing with Liu Wenrui again. Anyway, there are some people who can't say him, and after a while, there will be results, and then I will humiliate him.

At this time, the above review also began.

Of course, it's the preliminaries, so the beans are roasted on-site, air-cooled, and brewed. If you reach the national finals, you can prepare your own cooked beans and green beans samples.

After all, the threshold for the preliminaries is still relatively low, and the final is the time to get serious. And when it came to the finals for the entire African region, the bar was even higher. Every process will be supervised by a dedicated person.

In the first round, Lao Liu watched it very carefully. However, the quality of this batch of coffee is not very good, and at least 120 of the 130 coffee beans selected by the competition will be eliminated, which is still very high.

This is just a preliminaries, which is equivalent to an audition.

However, what makes Lao Liu different is that it can be clearly seen that there are many people on the scene who are eliminated. But they didn't have much sadness on their faces, and they probably just came over to play and pass this test to see what level their coffee was.

Lao Liu also paid close attention, and those judges held the evaluation clip and kept writing and drawing on it. During the evaluation, I took a sip of coffee, then spit out some, then rinsed my mouth with water, and then went to taste the next cup.

This evaluation is also really strict, aroma, flavor, aftertaste, acidity, body, consistency, balance, cleanliness, sweetness, overall evaluation, a full ten major items.

In addition, the baking standard will be marked during the evaluation, and there will be a label suitable for grinding. This is a small benefit given to everyone for free, so that after the label is clear, you can give a rough recommendation when you sell it in the future.

Anyway, in Lao Liu's opinion, even if this batch is the ones that have passed the test, the score is not very high, they are all between 8082 points, and there are slight differences after the decimal point. Those with less than 80 points are directly eliminated.

The second round was a little better, this time above 80 with 16 places. However, that score is still not very high. With this result, it was only barely shortlisted. It's simply impossible to get a higher name.

In the third round, seeing the numbers that were typed, Liu Wenrui saw his own 58642 very accurately, and he was a little excited.

The scores in front of them are so low, and giving them a high score this time will definitely attract the attention of many people. Can it be regarded as a fight to become famous?

Mei Zizi thought about it, but it was also pleasant to see Crane's expression when she accidentally saw it. He was very depressed, could it be that the number of this goods was also in this round?

Although he was very confident, he was still a little nervous. After all, it is also a competition, and whether it is successful or not will only be revealed at the last minute.

There is still some distance from the evaluation site, even if Lao Liu's eyes are very good, he can't see which one is his own coffee.

There was a little torment during this time, because while looking forward to it, he was also a little worried. Crane's smile was bright, how could he rest assured?

Wait, wait, boil, boil, this round of the game is finally over, Lao Liu stared at the screen on the side. However, he was shocked to find that there was no 58642 of his own among the eight numbers displayed on the screen. The highest score was 60173 coffee beans, which reached 86 points.

How is this possible? How can you not have your own coffee beans? Even if you roast and brew freshly, your coffee beans perform very well.

"I was lucky to get a high score of 86. It seems that both in the final in Kenya and in the finals in the whole of Africa, they will be able to achieve a good ranking. ”

Lao Liu was flustered, and the annoying voice of Crane on the side sounded again.

Lao Liu glanced at him expressionlessly, then stood up and walked towards the staff on the side. He must apply for a reconsideration of this matter, his coffee beans are so good, it is impossible to fail even the preliminaries.

He didn't believe that it was a coincidence with Crane's unification test, this was Crane's conspiracy, and he must have bought off the relevant people.

"Simon, what are you going to do, why do I see you're in a hurry?" Crane shouted with a smile behind him.

Liu Wenrui stopped, looked back at him seriously, and walked towards the staff again.

The staff were surprised by Liu Wenrui's request for reconsideration. I've been working for years and have never encountered such a request.

However, because Liu Wenrui has now put forward this request, the staff contacted the leader and attached great importance to this matter. In the preparation stage before the fourth round, Lao Liu can be given a chance to go to the scene to watch.

Lao Liu's abnormal behavior also made the rest of the people very curious. They're all regulars here, and they come here once a year. It's still good to spend a little money to be able to get a professional review.

People like to watch the excitement, and now they see the staff leading Lao Liu to the evaluation site. I also knew that this was happening, so I was very curious.

In fact, Lao Liu also knows that his current move will definitely annoy the organizers, because it is a distrust of the organizers to hold the event. But now he doesn't care about this, all he thinks is to find out where the problem is.

Before reaching his coffee number, he first checked the green beans and roasted cooked beans on the side. Just like you have at home, there are no subtle changes. And their coffee beans are too special, and it is impossible for others to cheat.

Then he picked up his coffee cup and took a sip.

As soon as the coffee was in his mouth, his brow furrowed, this was not the right taste. The astringency is too strong, and it is definitely not the same taste as what I usually drink. And now I drink this coffee fruit aroma is also very weak, there is very little sweetness, and the bitterness is a little heavier.

He's really blindsided, what's going on? It's obviously not what his coffee should taste. Not to mention the variety of flavors, even the ordinary taste is not as good.

If I didn't know much about coffee before, I wouldn't have drunk this. But after coming to Kenya, I didn't drink less coffee, and if anyone dared to sell such a bad coffee to himself, he would definitely fall to the ground.

"Mr. Simon, now you have an idea of your coffee, right? The judge here said expressionlessly.

"I'm sorry, I have a small request, can you let me grind some cooked beans and try it?" asked Lao Liu.

The judges shrugged their shoulders, very indifferent.

Lao Liu hurriedly came to the grinder, grabbed some coffee beans, and began grinding.

In fact, when he first grabbed it, he sensed that something was wrong with these cooked beans. After grinding, he was also more certain that there was something wrong with the cooked bean.

This time, the cooked beans are slightly heavier than usual. When grinding, there is also a very stubborn feeling.

He knew that he had indeed been hacked. This must have something to do with Crane, but he doesn't know what the problem is.
