A luxury SUV drops three coffee tasters to the coffee plantation. As the owner of the coffee garden, Xiao Ping naturally rushed to greet them as soon as possible.

Coffee culture is very popular in Europe and the United States, so the three tasters are all Europeans, the older one is named Ford, the youngest is called Piero, and one middle-aged person is named Williams. The three of them all received an invitation from Lin Zukang to come to the Holy Pot Coffee Garden to authenticate the quality of the coffee produced here.

The road conditions to the Holy Pot Coffee Garden were not good, and the faces of the three people who had bumped all the way were not good-looking, and they were also indifferent to Xiao Ping, who came to greet them.

According to Xiao Ping's agreement with Lin Zukang in advance, in order to get the most authentic conclusion, he did not let the taster know that the owner of the coffee garden was Lin Zukang's friend. And these three tasters have a cooperative relationship with Lin Zukang, and can even barely be called friends, plus they themselves are well-known in the coffee industry, of course, they will not take this little-known coffee plantation owner seriously.

Ford and Piero, the three of them, were better and greeted Xiao Ping. Among them, Williams had the worst attitude, not only did this guy not talk to Xiao Ping, but even glanced at him with disgust, as if he was blaming Xiao Ping for letting him travel for so long to such a remote place to taste coffee.

The attitude of the three made Xiao Ping know that Lin Zukang really didn't reveal his identity. Anyway, Xiao Ping just needed the other party to determine the quality of the coffee, so he didn't care too much about their rude attitude, and smiled at Williams's eyes.

Although the coffee tasters had a cold attitude towards Xiao Ping, they did not dare not take Lin Zukang's entrustment seriously. On the way here, the three of them agreed that they would definitely take a good look at the coffee produced in this coffee plantation. Mr. Lin must not be disappointed.

So after coldly perfunctory Xiao Ping, the eldest Ford said to him lightly: "Mr. Xiao." We were commissioned by Mr. Lim to give a comprehensive evaluation of your coffee plantation. If you don't object. We would like to take a look at the environment of the coffee plantation first. ”

Of course, Xiao Ping had no opinion on this, and replied with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, you can check it out at will in the coffee garden." ”

Ford nodded to Xiao Ping, and then went around the coffee garden with two other companions.

In order to produce good enough coffee, in addition to carefully cultivating good coffee tree species, the natural environment of the coffee garden is also a very important factor. For example, the world's famous Blue Mountain coffee is named because it is produced in the Blue Mountains region of Jamaica. There have also been people who have moved the species of Blue Mountain coffee to other places to cultivate, but the coffee produced is not as good as Blue Mountain coffee.

That's why an experienced taster doesn't just taste the coffee and make a final evaluation of the beans produced in a particular coffee plantation. They tend to take a hard look at the environment of the coffee plantation. Thus drawing more comprehensive conclusions. At the moment, Ford and the others are doing exactly this, but they met Xiao Ping, who has a demon refining pot, and their tried and tested experience in the past is doomed to failure.

Williams was the most discerning of the three tasters. He just went around the coffee garden and came back with a stinky face.

In Xiao Ping's view, the trio's views on the environment of the coffee plantation are not important. After all, the Demon Refining Pot is the best at turning decay into magic, and it is impossible to appreciate how good the quality of coffee is from the appearance alone.

However, Wang Feng was very concerned about the opinions of these experts, and when he saw Williams coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Williams, what do you think of the environment of our coffee garden?" ”

"Just this coffee plantation?" Williams snorted from his nostrils, "Ordinary." That is, the variety of coffee trees is OK. It's a pipe dream to produce high-quality coffee in this kind of place. ”

Williams's words made Wang Feng's face change drastically, he had poured all his heart and soul into the coffee garden, and he absolutely could not accept such an evaluation. Even if the other party is an expert in this area, it is not possible.

Looking at Williams with a disdainful face, Wang Feng immediately retorted: "But all our coffee trees are growing very well, you can't deny this, right?" ”

"The growth of the coffee tree is only related to the yield. It doesn't have much to do with the quality of the coffee beans, so I don't need to remind you, right? Williams sneered: "I actually thought that if the tree grows well, the coffee quality will be high." Use such people to manage coffee plantations, huh. The quality of the coffee beans produced here is understandable! ”

"You ......" Seeing Williams laughing at himself mercilessly, the angry Wang Feng still wanted to argue with the other party, but was stopped by Xiao Ping with gestures.

Xiao Ping smiled calmly at Wang Feng: "Aren't you planning to roast coffee beans today, let's start now." Let's use facts to speak, not to engage in unnecessary verbal battles. ”

Thinking that the boss's words did make sense, Wang Feng glanced at Williams with dissatisfaction and went to work in the baking room.

Williams completely ignored Wang Feng's gaze and just looked at his watch impatiently. After seeing the environment of the coffee plantation, he felt that there was no need to stay and taste the coffee, and he just wanted to leave the place as soon as possible when the other two colleagues returned. If you leave now, you might be able to make it to Kuala Lumpur in time for dinner.

In fact, Ford and Piero didn't stay in the coffee plantation for too long, and the two returned soon after. Xiao Ping didn't need to ask at all, just from their expressions, it could be seen that the two were not satisfied with the environment of the coffee garden.

"Two, I think we should all come to a conclusion." Williams, who had been waiting a little impatiently, said to the two colleagues: "The conditions of this coffee garden are very ordinary, it is impossible to produce high-quality coffee beans, I don't think there is any need to waste time, it is better to leave and go back early!" ”

Williams's attitude also made Xiao Ping a little unhappy, and he couldn't help but say lightly: "You haven't even tasted coffee, so it's too perfunctory to make such an arbitrary judgment, right?" ”

Xiao Ping's words shocked the three of them, and they all remembered that this was a matter entrusted by Lin Zukang, but they couldn't be so perfunctory. The eldest Ford hurriedly came out to play the round, and said to Williams with a smile: "Since you have come, it is better to finish the coffee and leave, and there is no hurry at this time." ”

Williams was also afraid that his perfunctory attitude would be known to Lin Zukang, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful about what he said just now. However, he didn't want to lose face in front of Xiao Ping, so he pretended to say to Ford: "Mr. Ford, I'll just keep your face for a while." If you hadn't opened your mouth, I'd be leaving right now! ”

Xiao Ping is now a person with status, so naturally he will not be as knowledgeable as this kind of guy. He had already seen that Ford was the leader of the three, so he smiled and said to Ford, "Please follow me." ”

Xiao Ping took the three of them to the roasting room, and Wang Feng was already busy, manipulating the equipment to roast the first batch of coffee beans.

Ford carefully inspected the equipment in the roasting room, observed Wang Feng's coffee roasting technique for a while, and said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "The facilities in this roasting room are very advanced, and it is one of the best roasting rooms I have ever seen. And just by looking at the action of this gentleman roasting coffee, you can know that he is obviously a veteran of roasting coffee. ”

Ford said this, of course, to ease the tension that had been in place, after all, he didn't want to stiffen his relationship with the coffee plantation. Piero understood what Ford meant, and nodded in agreement with a smile on his face. Only Williams still looked impatient, looking at his watch from time to time, hoping that the baking would be over soon, and that he would get out of this place as soon as possible.

The first batch of coffee roasted by Wang Feng was specially tasted for Ford and others. So he didn't roast much coffee, and it didn't take long for the roasting job to be done.

Wang Feng turned off the baking equipment and said to Xiao Ping a little nervously: "Mr. Xiao, it's done." ”

This is the first batch of coffee beans produced after Xiao Ping took over the coffee plantation, and even Wang Feng is full of expectations for it.

Of course, Xiao Ping also wanted to know the results quickly, but he didn't want to be too excited in front of the three coffee tasters, so he just nodded and said lightly: "Then let the three of you taste our coffee." ”

Wang Feng nodded, and opened the container of roasted coffee beans in front of Ford and others. A rich aroma immediately wafted out, and even Xiao Ping, who didn't understand coffee, felt that the taste was indeed different from the high-grade coffee he had drunk before.

As for Ford and others, who are experts, they all showed surprise when they smelled this aroma. Waiting for roasted coffee to come out of the pot is a daily routine for them, but never has they ever been able to smell such a strong aroma.

Ford and Piero exchanged glances, and couldn't wait to take the container from Wang Feng's hand, leaned in front of his nose and took a deep breath.

"Hmm...... Very good aroma. Ford closed his eyes and reveled, "I didn't expect coffee to smell so good." ”

Piero next to him also sniffled vigorously, and at the same time nodded his head in agreement with Ford's words, obviously fascinated by the aroma of coffee.

Only Williams was not quite willing to accept this fact, and said sourly next to him: "Coffee is for people to drink, not for people to smell." No matter how fragrant the coffee is, if it doesn't taste good, it's just as rubbish! ”

Williams's words reminded Ford, and he hurriedly asked Xiao Ping: "Mr. Xiao, can we taste these coffee beans now?" ”

For someone like Ford, nothing else is more important than the best coffee beans. After smelling the extremely attractive aroma of these coffee beans, his attitude towards Xiao Ping was also much more polite.

Xiao Ping replied with a smile: "Of course." There is a full set of coffee utensils upstairs, please come with me. ”

Ford nodded with satisfaction, personally took the coffee beans in his hand, and followed Xiao Ping upstairs. Naturally, Piero followed Ford's footsteps, with Williams leading behind. He looked at the backs of several people, and the expressions on his faces became more and more gloomy. (To be continued......)
