183 Unusual coffee berries
(Thanks to friends Mani and Nima for their encouragement)
For Brother Farms, today is a real big scene.
Raven: There were twenty people in total, both men and women. In addition to the four serious drivers, they are all good at picking cherry coffee.
Raven isn't bragging, maybe he has a worse farming ability here in Kenya, but when it comes to picking cherry coffee, it's really the best of the best.
Counting Masika, that's seventeen qualified pickers. With them, Liu Wenrui's coffee trees here are definitely something you can take care of.
The wives of Masika and Kipkori will not be idle. They have to help cook, if so many people's meals are kept busy by Lao Liu, they will really be tired enough.
Even if you say that you will eat the noon meal first, you can't really be fooled. It's just that I'm afraid of affecting my work in the afternoon, so I drink less.
Raven and the other three drivers, including Rudy, and the four of them couldn't sit idle. They are qualified porters who assemble the cherries that have been picked.
Liu Wenrui's coffee berries here are a bit special, they are relatively large, and one is as big as two of other people's families. Therefore, when picking, the weight of the basket under the same number is also heavy, and it needs to be transferred in time. Otherwise, the pickers will be very tired, which will affect the work efficiency.
Today is also the first day of the official harvest, and the proportion of ripe cherry coffee here is also very high. At the very least, you can pick two or three baskets on a tree, and this work sequence must also be coordinated.
Breakfast was also eaten here at Lao Liu. However, this breakfast is a bit simple, and you can only use porridge to fool around first. This is the fastest, even if Lao Liu wants to make cakes, so many people can't make them.
After breakfast, it also announced the official start of today's picking activity.
None of the people Raven brought over had ever seen such a big coffee berry. Therefore, at the beginning of the picking, they are also very cautious, afraid that the harvest will not be fully ripe.
This is a conscientious and responsible work. They all came to help, Liu Wenrui gave such a high salary, and he would make such a good meal, you can't be fooled with this job, right?
But no matter how inefficient they are now, you can't stop these cherry coffees from getting too big. In just half an hour, the basket that was picked quickly was a little unmoving.
Under normal circumstances, they can almost finish picking an entire coffee tree in this basket. They are all experienced pickers, and how many cherry coffees are picked by a coffee tree, it is all about the same.
Some of their usual experience today is not enough, the proportion of cherry coffee here is too high, the number of fruit hanging on each tree is high, and the size of cherry coffee is also large.
High, many, big, three factors come together, which leads to the current result.
Even if you just start picking, the coffee berries in these baskets come together, and that's a lot.
"Boss, I'm happy now. Sitting on the ladder, Masika said beamingly.
"Haha, I'm happier than you, this year is the real harvest year. The old Liu who was holding Xiao Miao Miao said happily.
"Masika, do you estimate how many beans we can harvest from each coffee tree this time? ”
"Boss, I think it's at least more than two kilograms. Masika thought for a moment and said.
"Our cherry coffees are too big, and they're a lot heavier than normal cherry coffees. Perhaps, they will surprise us even more. ”
Lao Liu nodded with satisfaction, each tree can harvest two kilograms of coffee beans, then he is already very satisfied.
How many coffee beans were harvested last time? Not even 0.3 kilograms per tree. This is a big turnaround of salted fish, and production has soared.
Don't forget, this is just the beginning of these coffee trees. By the time next year, the entire harvest season will be over, and the annual yield per plant will almost exceed five kilograms.
What kind of concept is this? Even if Liu Wenrui has only 883 coffee trees here, that can have a total output of nearly four and a half tons.
Anyway, Lao Liu is looking at the more and more cherry coffee piled up on the small car, which is called a happy, and he will grab a handful and put it in his hand. This is the real joy of harvesting, and the last time I picked it, it was a false joy.
Xiao Miao Miao took a look, grabbed a cherry coffee, and then stuffed it into her small mouth.
As soon as he took a bite, the little guy spit it out. The expression on the little face is also very exciting, the eyebrows and eyes are all together, and the small mouth is constantly clicking.
I choked Lao Liu enough, wiped my daughter's mouth, and then he also picked up a pill, intending to taste the flesh of this new coffee berry.
After taking a bite, he was stunned. Because this taste is really not good, it feels very astringent, no wonder Xiao Miaomiao has such an expression.
But this situation is not right, he tasted it the last time he picked it. At that time, the pulp of coffee berries had a little sweetness.
It's not as sweet as fruit, but it doesn't taste like anything else.
Just as he was about to spit out the coffee berry in his mouth, and then taste if the other coffee berries also tasted the same way, a faint sweetness exploded on his taste buds.
The sweetness that should have been very light and faint is now coming after this astringency, that is, sweet, satisfying, and drooling.
And the sweeter you are, the sweeter it feels.
"Let's try this coffee berry, isn't it a little different from usual. In order to be sure, Lao Liu shouted.
This little proposal is not a difficult thing to do, as long as it is not a hard bite and does not destroy the coffee beans inside, it is nothing.
Everyone's movements were similar, and after Lao Liu finished shouting, he threw one into his mouth and bit it lightly with his teeth. Then they looked almost the same as the little seedlings, although they were not as exaggerated as the little ones, but there was a certain pause in their picking.
But they didn't vomit it right away, and after holding on for a while, the sweetness came up, and their faces were full of surprise.
They have never tasted such coffee berries before.
In Kenya, there are basically 4 main coffee varieties, but either way, the taste is slightly sweet and not astringent.
Although these coffee berries have become larger, their varieties have not changed, and they are still the same trees. But how did this taste change so strangely?
Even if they are experienced in battles, they really can't understand the abnormal performance of this coffee berry now. Now even Masika is confused, not knowing what will happen to the color of these coffee beans after processing.
"Let's pick it with confidence, no matter what, we have to pick it anyway. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
He doesn't have that many worries in his heart, and this performance just proves that the quality of these coffee beans is extraordinary. This is a product covered by a small tree, so it is not bad.
I don't care what this principle is, anyway, I choose to believe in Xiaoshu and it's over. Why are there so many? It's not a study of a hundred thousand whys.
Xiao Miaomiao looked at Lao Liu's arms for a while, and felt that it was not interesting, so her little body arched. Lao Liu understood this, and directly put the little guy on the ground, and the little guy ran around happily.
This little guy is also a little guy who loves sports, and basically can be a little more honest every day when he sleeps. If you hold her all the time and control her range of motion, she will not be happy.
Her two loyal friends naturally followed the little one around the neighborhood. It's just that after the little monkey baby wandered around for a while, she probably thought it was fun to climb the tree and play, and then jumped to the coffee tree.
Lao Liu didn't care, now he doesn't have to watch the children, he also joined the ranks of porters. The pickers are used to it, and they are starting to speed up, and Raven and the others are a little too busy to do it.
After being busy for a while, the little monkey baby jumped down from the tree and ran to Lao Liu's side, and began to pull Lao Liu's pants.
"You go to the side and play by yourself first, I don't have time to care about you, I have to work." Lao Liu touched the little monkey baby's head.
The little monkey baby was quite persistent, and then spread out her little paws, with a cherry coffee on it.
"If you want to eat it too, then eat it yourself. Lao Liu said casually.
The little monkey baby is gone, why can't this person get his own point?
Throwing the cherry coffee into the basket on the side, he climbed onto the coffee tree with a "whoosh" twice, and then squatted on the trunk, and the cherry coffee fell down with a bang.
Enough to choke Lao Liu, this little guy lost his temper. I can only lean over, hold it in my arms, and touch it from beginning to end like a child.
"Oh my God, Mr. Simon, it just plucked these, and they're all ripe cherry coffees. Does it pick cherry coffee too?"
Lao Liu was still comforting the little monkey baby, and Raven on the side shouted in surprise.
Lao Liu turned his head to look over, and Raven was holding the cherry coffee that the little monkey baby had just picked up. Anyway, Lao Liu came to see that these were ripe fruits that could be picked.
At this time, the little monkey baby, just like the usual Xiao Miaomiao, hugged Lao Liu's neck, and a little monkey face also looked at Raven.
Lao Liu pondered for a moment and put the little monkey baby on the coffee tree. The little monkey baby didn't hesitate any longer, and walked while picking on the tree.
Lao Liu paid attention this time, the ones that fell on the ground were really ripe cherry coffees. The little monkey baby is not picking indiscriminately, and people also have real skills.
Even if Raven and the others already felt that this farm had brought them a lot of surprises, but now seeing the performance of the little monkey baby, they were surprised again.
Needless to say, even Lao Liu and Masika are impressive about the little monkey baby's current performance.
