The domestic plane was relatively fast, and it took more than two hours to fly from the provincial capital to Nanjing. I called a car and went straight to it according to the address.

It's a very sophisticated coffee shop, and even though it's just over the New Year, it's still full of customers.

There are couples who bow their heads and whisper, and there are single customers who hold books and read. Anyway, in Lao Liu's eyes, this is what they expect the coffee shop to look like.

The environment is elegant, and the soft music you hear in your ears can also make you relax and not feel that it will break the "quiet" at all. The weather outside was a bit damp and cold, but when I entered this shop, the dampness and cold were directly dispelled.

"Hello, we have an appointment with Ms. Du, my name is Liu Wenrui. ”

Seeing the waiter coming over, Lao Liu hurriedly said.

"Hello, I've reserved a seat for you, wait a minute. The waiter said with a smile.

"Third, it's the first time I've come to such a serious café. has style and aura, let's do it in the future. ”

After sitting down, Sun Baofeng lowered his voice and said.

Zhou Xianhao also nodded, "It seems that I have time to take a look outside, we don't have experience in this area, so we have to learn from these coffee shops." ”

"Hello Mr. Liu, I've kept you waiting, I'm Du Jianing. ”

At this time, a barista with short hair came over.

"Hello Ms. Du, I'm Liu Wenrui. Lao Liu hurriedly stood up.

"You don't have to be so polite, I heard that you have your own farm in Kenya to grow coffee beans?" said Du Jianing with a smile.

"Laughing, the main thing is that your fame is too big. This time, I still have a request for you, and I am a little nervous. Liu Wenrui said.

"These beans are the ones that come out of my farm. It's a Kenyan SL-34, but it's much larger than the normal SL-34. Soybeans in small grains, there are raw beans and cooked beans, you want to try it now?"

"Okay, can I take a look first?" said Du Jianing with a smile.

Lao Liu nodded violently and opened the bag containing cooked beans and raw beans.

Du Jianing looked at it very carefully, and the cooked beans were also sent to the side of his nose and sniffed carefully. It can be seen that she is also very curious about this PLUS version of the SL-34.

Even if Lao Liu is very confident in his coffee beans, he can't help but feel a little nervous now. I was even more nervous than when I met Smith.

These are two completely different concepts, if your coffee beans can be accepted by Du Jianing, it means that your coffee beans have stepped into the ranks of fine beans.

Now there is no news from Hank's side, and this is all he can hope for.

"I'll make a pot first and taste it. ”

After reading it, Du Jianing said.

It can be seen that Du Jianing's popularity is very good. After she moved all the tools for making coffee, many people around her picked up their mobile phones to take pictures. But it's not messy, it's all sitting in place.

Other people's brewing tools are much stronger than Lao Liu's, and they look very exquisite.

The program is the same as when brewing with Liu Wenrui. After brewing coffee, Du Jianing also poured out four small cups, one for each person.

This hand-poured coffee, when Sun Baofeng and Zhou Xianhao drank it, in fact, the first feeling was that it was really bitter. It's not like Liu Wenrui and Du Jianing who can taste the real taste of coffee.

It's also very normal, I usually drink bagged instant coffee? Even Comrade Liu has been adapting to it for a while in Kenya before he can be regarded as a beginner lover of coffee.

But once you've stepped through the threshold, you'll be able to taste the aromas of the coffee.

Lao Liu drank coffee and always paid attention to Du Jianing's expression. If it doesn't work out, it depends on this dynasty. And now he drinks it, as if the coffee made by Du Jianing tastes better than the one he brews.

This is something to admire, I thought my craft was already very good. But there is still a gap for people at Du Jianing's level.

"Mr. Liu, I think this coffee bean is very good. Did you bake it yourself?" asked Du Jianing.

Lao Liu nodded, "I fried it in an iron pot myself." Then use a vacuum cooler, cool the bagging. This bag has been in place for half a month now, and it was fried before returning home. ”

"Mr. Liu, I'll tell you the truth. Du Jianing thought for a while and said.

"This bean of yours is great, a little better than some of the fine beans we have in store. But I think there is still a bit of a gap compared to Geisha's beans. ”

"It seems that it is not good at baking, or it is a little mismatched with the water I usually use. Each bean has its own characteristics. If I were to use this bean of yours, I would have to adapt and adjust it in a new way. ”

Hearing Du Jianing's words, the brothers all had a feeling of emptiness in their hearts.

It is already obvious that Lao Liu's coffee bean has not entered Du Jianing's eyes. And people have a point, it's the same as cooking. No matter how good the chef's skills are, you have to consider the differences in ingredients.

It is the same chicken, and the cooking method of the farmed and the wandering chicken is definitely different. Even if the same chicken grows in a different year, the method used will be adjusted.

"Mr. Liu, I do think this bean of yours is very good. Du Jianing spoke again.

"Kenyan coffee beans are already very good, and we also have coffee beans from Berman Estate in our store. I would also recommend it to Jeon Joo-yeon, but to make espresso, the coffee beans require a special roasting method, so I'll show you some. ”

"Thank you. Lao Liu hurriedly said.

In fact, he already thinks the current result is very good. Let Du Jianing directly choose his own coffee beans, which is really difficult for some strong people.

In a few minutes, Du Jianing sent a bowl of coffee beans in a small bowl.

"These are the beans that we buy from Berman Estate and roast them a little deeper. It is at the end of the second explosion and the stage when the bean table produces oil. The bitterness is a bit stronger, but with a strong roasted flavor and burnt aroma. Du Jianing said.

"In our shop, more customers actually order espresso. With a beautiful latte art, it is not only delicious, but also beautiful. ”

Lao Liu nodded, and then pinched a few black coffee beans and observed them carefully.

To him, the coffee beans seem to be roasted into carbon, and there seems to be a layer of oil on the surface of the bean body. This heat is not so easy to master, and it is more difficult to master than his stir-fry heat.

Then he took a coffee bean and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Du Jianing was shocked by his way of appreciating it, but he didn't expect anyone to come like this. Coffee beans are very hard, even if they are roasted very deeply, are they a little toothy?

There is no way, Lao Liu's baking method is to follow the roasting method. At the beginning, he also determined the heat by tasting the taste.

Of course, not now. If you fry a lot, you will naturally have experience. As soon as you look at it, you know how it is in condition.

The little Miao Miao on the side looked curious, and also grabbed one and put it in her mouth, and then this little face became a little worried. My little teeth are not strong enough, and I can't chew like my father.

"Ms. Du, do we have a kitchen here? I'm going to fry some now, and let you judge. Liu Wenrui asked after spitting the coffee beans in his mouth into the napkin.

Du Jianing smiled and nodded, "Of course you can." I'm curious, and roasting coffee beans by hand is also a science. ”

Lao Liu grinned, it seems that he should really change careers to sell fried goods in the future. In the future, if my brother opens a few coffee shops, don't you have to fry them yourself?

Thinking about sitting by the pot every day, clicking and roasting coffee beans, this thing seems to be a bit bitter.

In fact, Du Jianing wanted to use the roaster in the store to deal with it, but Liu Wenrui's coffee beans are too special in size, and they have to go through many attempts in terms of temperature and time. Now that Lao Liu proposes to fry some by himself, it will be better.

"Ms. Du, do you think that if you make pour-over coffee, my beans will be fried more lightly?" asked Liu Wenrui after coming to the kitchen.

Du Jianing thought for a while and nodded, "Maybe it has something to do with the water I use, but I personally feel that a little lighter will taste better." ”

"Cheng, I'll also fry a shallower pot. When it cools, you can taste it again. It doesn't matter if I don't have my beans to compete, I'm thinking about trading coffee beans in the future. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"It's also in Kenya, and this business can be said to have taken advantage of the right time, place and people. After all, we also have the opportunity to cooperate, although the specialty coffee beans are good, the ordinary coffee beans also have a large market. ”

After finishing speaking, Lao Liu still boiled water and brushed the pot in the pot.

This is the pot that I use to cook in the coffee shop, and it smells of oil and smoke. The coffee beans you have fried smell of vegetables, even if you fry them well, he is not like that.

In fact, many cafes in China purchase cooked beans directly, and few roast them themselves. After all, some stores that use a small amount of money will take up a large part of the money for bakers and equipment alone.

And if you don't handle the freshly roasted beans well, even if the beans are very good, the taste will be affected. If you consider various factors, it is more worry-free and more quality assurance to import cooked beans directly.

This shop is one of the best coffee shops in the world, and there are many customers every day, so you don't have to worry about the beans that won't be sold in the future. So I also have my own small baking equipment and baker, and now this baker also comes over to watch the fun.

This is not to be on a par with Lao Liu, but simply curious.

I've heard of hand-fried beans, but even he hasn't tried it. After learning this skill, I started to operate it with a baking machine.
