206 There must be demons when there is an abnormality
The matter of sending the lion back to the grassland had an impact on Xiao Miaomiao beyond Lao Liu's expectations.
In his understanding, after all, he is a child, and he forgets things quickly. When you come back, get some sleep, eat something delicious, and turn around and let go of the matter.
But the little one slept and ate, but the spirit was very bad.
Yesterday, the little guy slept until about three o'clock in the afternoon, and after waking up, he did not run outside to play as usual. Just lying on the bed, holding the lion cub.
Lao Liu and they drank a beautiful meal, and when Lao Liu went upstairs and saw that his daughter had woken up, he hurriedly brought the meal to the little guy.
I ate one piece of braised pork, two slices of meat in the pot, four pieces of cold tomatoes, and then two mouthfuls of egg drop soup, and the little guy stopped eating it.
That's really a lot worse than her usual meal, which is the amount of her usual snacks. Usually, even after eating, you can kill so much.
After eating, the little guy came into Lao Liu's arms, didn't let Lao Liu go out, didn't speak, and hugged the three friends around him with his little arms as much as possible.
If he usually looks at the little guy like this, Lao Liu will definitely tease the little guy well. Take a few photos and show off to the brothers.
It's just that the current little Miao Miao is really sad. At night, they all wake up from sleep. seems to be afraid that when he wakes up, the three friends in his arms will be sent away again.
Even if there is such an important thing as the preliminaries of the coffee competition today, Lao Liu also accompanied the little guy for a night. This is a real decisive battle until dawn, and when I see my daughter wake up, I will pat it lightly with my hand. Then the little one would squeeze into his arms and go back to sleep.
"Mr. Simon, I'll drive today. ”
Seeing Liu Wenrui's big dark circles, Rudy said with some concern.
Lao Liu stretched his waist and shook his body, "Okay, you can also be a little faster on the road." I ate breakfast first, and when the preliminaries are over, I can go to the supermarket to play with Xiao Miaomiao for a while. ”
Breakfast was foolish, and after breakfast, Lao Liu packed a small bag of coffee beans. It's about a kilogram, and I don't need much during the competition anyway. By the way, I packed some fried ones, this one was for Li Tongzhuo and Daisy.
The last time these two girls came over, they took some away, but they are all silly girls, and they don't know how to eat good things alone, so they love to share them with others. This time, Li Tongzhuo went out again with a mission, and Daisy was able to join in the fun.
Holding the little seedlings into the car, Lao Liu inadvertently glanced at the small trees in his yard. It doesn't seem to pay much attention to it these days, but it's a lot more energetic.
Tapping on the little guy's nose, and then stuffing the little monkey baby into her arms, Lao Liu walked up to the little tree and looked at it carefully.
First the color, much brighter than the previous days, and then the little tree grew a little taller. This made Lao Liu very happy, and estimated that no matter what the little tree was upgraded or done, it should be over now and return to normal.
He didn't know if it had anything to do with what happened to him and Xiao Miao Miao in the woods. I also blame myself, after I came back, because of the affairs of the lions, I didn't pay attention to this matter in the past few days.
The two cars set off together, otherwise so many people with animals would not be able to fit in.
Even if she knew that she was going out to play, Xiao Miaomiao's spirit was insufficient. Sitting in the back seat, he also squeezed his small body into Lao Liu's arms, and did not play happily as usual.
Lao Liu's heart, but he was really sad. Looking at the posture of the girl, you have to worry about it for at least a few more days, which is too distressing.
He also reminded himself in his heart that he couldn't treat Xiao Miaomiao as a little doll who didn't understand anything in the future. In the little guy's heart, this is also pretending.
"Simon, Simon, oh my God, what's wrong with Miao Miao, why are you so unhappy?"
Seeing Xiao Miaomiao's appearance, Daisy was startled.
"The lions at home have been sent back to the grassland, so she is a little sad. I'll just ask you to take care of her for me, I think there are still a lot of people coming over for the preliminaries today. Liu Wenrui put Xiao Miaomiao in Daisy's arms.
Daisy nodded, holding Xiao Miaomiao, grabbing her little hand. This is my own daughter, and now I feel distressed when I look at it.
"Mr. Simon, I'm sorry not to be able to see your coffee get good results with your own eyes. Rudy said with a smile.
Liu Wenrui patted him on the shoulder, "Remember my words, go to my farm to play when you have time." ”
The four of them nodded in unison, even if Lao Liu didn't say it, they would go. The time spent on the brothers' farm was a real joy for them.
The registration procedure is very simple, take the invitation letter, which is also the qualification certificate. Do a good job of registering, hand in the coffee beans you brought, give you a number, and you're done.
This is also for the sake of fairness, which is a blind test. The judges were only faced with the number, and had no idea who the beans belonged to.
After coming here, Liu Wenrui knew how big the scale of this coffee competition was. Anyway, Lao Liu roughly estimated that there must be hundreds of organizations and individuals participating in this preliminary competition.
Of course, this game can't be played by the big guys. This has to be divided into batches, otherwise there won't be so many reviewers.
"Simon, my friend, what a coincidence. ”
As soon as he finished the formalities, he heard Crane's annoying voice behind him.
Lao Liu turned his head and glanced at him, "Your company is very slow, and the workers on my farm have already put forward conditions, why don't you deal with it?"
"Doesn't it mean that your company has a lot of economic power, and you will respect the opinions of the locals? ”
"No, no, Mr. Simon, we're a big company, and everything has to go through the process. Crane said with a smile.
"These things are completely small, small things for our company. Oh yes, I forgot to congratulate you, the coffee beans have had a good harvest and the yield is very high. I wish you a very good result in this coffee competition. ”
With that, Crane began to register.
Listening to Crane's words, Lao Liu's heart began to churn.
This is the weasel giving the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart. If it was said that when the two of them hadn't torn their faces before, Crane said some congratulations against his will, that would be forgivable.
But what is the situation between the two now? This is almost a direct battle when they meet. Even if you give Crane money, he won't give you anything nice.
When things go wrong, there must be demons, and Crane is now so hard to congratulate himself and say good things to himself. That smile didn't seem to be fake, but really happy, and Lao Liu felt that the problem might be in the preliminaries of this coffee competition.
This is the only way out for his coffee to sell well, and Crane once said that he would kill his coffee business. It would be strange if he didn't do something about this competition.
But he filtered it through his head, and it seemed that there was no place for Crane to do his hands and feet.
The coffee beans brought are numbered, and the roasting of the coffee beans is also done uniformly, and the brewing is also brewed by others. Then the judges went over and drank a little bit of each glass, tasted it carefully, and then began to score it.
In the whole selection process, there are many people involved, and there are also many variables. Unless Crane can buy off the entire staff, it will be difficult for him to make a mix for himself.
Besides, the quality of his coffee beans is so good, even if he can really buy the judges and deliberately give himself a low score, he will have to take a big risk.
He really couldn't figure it out. Because Crane gives him the feeling of confidence, which is also in line with Crane's usual standard of doing things. No matter what he does, he will definitely arrange it. That is, when he encounters his often willful actions, it will disrupt his plan.
"Simon, what's wrong?" Seeing Lao Liu's sad look, Daisy asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just think this Crane is not in a good mood, and he will definitely wreak havoc on me in today's tournament. Lao Liu said casually.
Daisy also glanced over there, "Probably not, I've heard people say that this kind of competition is very strict. ”
"I hope I'm blind to it, let's go inside and wait first. I really didn't expect there to be such a big place in Nairobi. Lao Liu said with emotion.
"Simon, don't you know that this kind of preliminary round has to take five days?" asked Daisy curiously.
Lao Liu scratched his scalp a little embarrassed, but he forgot about it. The competition time is arranged according to the order of registration. I signed up early, and it was only the first day.
What I see now is only a part of the contestants. The next four days will be held in the preliminaries. In other words, the number of organizations and individuals participating in this competition in Kenya is really large.
Come to think of it, there are 47 districts in Kenya, and each of them has a coffee plantation operator. Some are cooperatives competing in groups, while others are large coffee estates that seem to be the only ones working alone on small farms.
After all, in Kenya, the export trade of coffee is only second to tea.
However, they also have their own shortcomings. For example, this auction is signed up in the name of the cooperative, so it is difficult to trace it back to the specific producers.
Their coffee beans will be mixed together, processed and sold in one place. If it is well managed, it will definitely be more powerful to hold together. If it is not managed well, there will be a phenomenon of falling behind.
However, these things are not what Lao Liu should care about. After operating for so many years, they must have their own set of management rules. Now he is actually very worried about what Crane said just now, and he always feels that this thing is not holding back a good fart.
