Chapter 41 Handling Coffee Beans
In fact, as early as a few days ago, Yunhe had already begun to deal with it, the coffee beans are delicate, and they must be processed immediately after picking, otherwise it will ferment and produce a peculiar smell, so that this batch of beans is all over.
Thinking about my hard work, tired and tired all day, tired like a pug, I finally picked so many coffee beans, just because I was lazy, the beans were all destroyed, no matter who it was, it is estimated that I have the heart to vomit blood.
So after picking, you can't delay, you have to deal with it immediately, in fact, dealing with this thing is both simple and troublesome, mainly depends on what kind of climate you have and which method you use.
If your climate is dry, the dry season and the rainy season are distinct, it is very easy, as long as you dry it like rice in the countryside, find a clean place, pour the coffee beans on the ground, sprinkle it evenly, pay attention to rolling more, and expose it to the sun until it is fully dry, the dried peel is fragile, easy to fall off, remove it with a machine, and then remove the defective beans, you can bag it for sale, this is the sun drying method, it is extremely simple, but the only deficiency is that the beans are processed in this way, and they do not look good.
This method is simple, low equipment investment, and low cost, so it has been used in almost all coffee-producing countries in the past, but this method has a fatal drawback, it is subject to weather conditions.
After all, not every place has abundant sunshine, and some places, such as the equatorial region, rain all year round, how to get sun?
So the washing method came into being, it first uses a machine to remove the peel and pulp, leaving only the coffee beans wrapped in the inner epidermis, but at this time there is still a layer of mucous membrane attached to the inner epidermis, the washing method is to wash off this mucosa, but the adhesion of this layer of mucosa is very strong, it is difficult to remove.
So someone came up with the ingenious idea of putting it in the tank to ferment to break down the mucous membranes, and I had to marvel at this method is really a wonderful idea, because it not only removes the mucous membranes, but also causes special changes in the seeds and the flesh inside, which is also the step that most affects the flavor of the coffee.
In order to shorten the fermentation time, some unscrupulous coffee estates use hot water or enzymes to speed up the fermentation, which will have a very bad impact on the quality and poor taste of the coffee beans.
Some coffee estates, in order to make their coffee beans more distinctive, will use some unique techniques to make it have a more mellow flavor.
After fermentation, it is cleaned, this is simple, the coffee beans are washed to smooth and clean, but after such a long time of soaking, the moisture content of the coffee beans at this time is too high, and it is very easy to deteriorate and rot, so in the end it must be reduced its moisture content, which can be dried by machine or sun, but the latter is better and has a more natural flavor.
It can be clearly seen that this treatment method, the steps are very cumbersome, need to buy a variety of instruments, the cost is large, but the advantage is that the impurities in the beans it produces, and the defective beans are very few, and the appearance is uniform, everything in this era depends on the appearance, so its transaction price is higher than that of the beans refined by the sun-drying method, so at present, except for Brazil, Ethiopia and other foreign countries, almost all Arabica coffee producing countries have switched to this method.
However, success is also Xiao He, failure is also Xiao He, it is precisely because of the many steps, so the risk is also high, it also has a fatal shortcoming, the fermentation process coffee beans are very easy to be contaminated with the smell of fermentation, and you can't tell with the naked eye, once this happens, this batch of beans is basically ruined.
The coffee beans produced by the two methods are not superior or inferior, each has its own characteristics, the beans of the sun-drying method have a complete natural mellow taste, gentle aroma, and the washing method has a high degree of aroma and lively acidity, depending on the personal taste and preference.
Yunhe, a big turtle, didn't study coffee before, uh, he didn't study it at all, he never drank it as a refreshing drink, and now it's a little leisurely to improve his style, so I don't know which flavor is more suitable for me.
After thinking about it, just do half of each, if you don't like it, you can use it as a benefit to the employees in the manor, the coffee beans made by the boss himself, that is full of care and love for the employees! Thinking of this, Yunhe couldn't help but be moved by his warm care for his employees!
"Hey! It's rare to see a boss like me who is so good to his employees! Do you want to send me a best boss award? Yunhe touched his smooth chin and muttered to himself with a sigh on his face.
Without asking for help from other cowboys in the manor, Yunhe began to deal with it himself, he was idle for so long, he always had to find something to do, to kill time, let's also look up to the ideological realm of old Liman, enjoy the process, Yunhe found a high-sounding reason for himself.
How nice to say! In fact, the manpower in Ya's manor was already a little nervous, and Yunhe was afraid that he would have to find someone to help, so Old Joseph would take the opportunity to tell him, boss, to recruit people.
Although this five-good young man who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze has not long since he entered the degenerate and decadent capitalist empire, he has quickly adapted to the identity of a capitalist with all evils, and is becoming more and more qualified, and even has the essence of the word "stingy".
Hey! Speaking of human hands, the corner of Yunhe's eyes suddenly swept to a small black mountain of meat, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but laugh evilly.
The black skin of his dream was beautiful, and Harazi flowed down unconsciously, but suddenly, a cold struck, and it felt as if it was being targeted by something, like a mang on its back, waking it up from the dream, it wiped off the corners of its mouth, and stood up angrily and looked around, his uncle, which one of the people who didn't have long eyes dared to disturb the uncle to sleep?
But as soon as he raised his head, he happened to meet Yunhe's smiling eyes, and the arrogance that was still angry withered in an instant, and this girl even shook her short tail without any discipline, blushed her face, trotted to Yunhe's side, rubbed Yunhe's body with her furry head, and was like a pug shaking her head and tail!
When Yunhe saw this, he couldn't help but have black lines all over his head, who taught you this? What a mighty and domineering big black bear, so spineless as a pug, your uncle, I am such an iron-clad tough guy, how can there be a pet like you?
Thinking that this soft bone would be useful to wait a while, Yunhe forcibly gave it a burst, and put on a pleasant expression, smiling like a spring breeze, and gently stroking this hairy head.
But before Yunhe could speak softly, Heipi seemed to have sensed something, and stepped back tremblingly, revealing deep fear in his pupils, like a frightened weak and helpless little white rabbit, because Yunhe's expression left a deep impression on it, every time as long as he saw this expression, something bad must have happened, and now it wants to dig a hole immediately and quickly get into it to hide.
Seeing Heipi retreating back in fear, Yunhe's old face couldn't help but blush, cough cough, it seems that Heipi has a little wrong understanding of me! No, I have to change the image I have in its mind.
He picked a few huge and delicious apples from the fruit trees in the space, handed them to Heipi, and then said seductively: "Heipi, wait a minute, help me do something, I'll give you more food tonight, how about it?" ”
Yunhe's lewd expression, coupled with these words, the picture is so beautiful that it is impossible to look at it directly, just like a salty and wet uncle holding a lollipop to tempt a simple child, "Little pot friend, how about Shu Huang take you to see the little goldfish?" ”
First began to see these apples, the black skin was already a little moved, the little eyes were spinning around, and his heart was entangled, and then when he heard Yunhe promise to add dinner at night, the last hesitation was immediately kicked by it to the clouds, instantly jumped three feet high, and the eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, his two eyes were bigger than a light bulb, and he looked at Yunhe in disbelief, as if asking, "Are you sure you are not lying to me?" ”
Seeing that Heipi was so excited to eat at night, Yunhe couldn't help but be a little stunned, and only after half a sound touched its fat head with emotion and said, "Heipi, you are a good comrade!" Rest assured, there will be an absolute extra meal in the evening. ”
Seeing Heipi's happy appearance, Yunhe suddenly felt so guilty, he was simply a heinous villain, and he deceived simple children like this.
However, as a qualified black-hearted capitalist, Yunhe quickly put away this little guilt, and began to secretly wonder in his heart, or, adopt a few more pets in the future? It's a lot cheaper than hiring a cowboy! As long as you provide three meals a day, where can you find such cheap labor?
However, after working in this free labor force, Yunhe no longer had this idea, looking at the messy ground, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: The ancients didn't deceive me, it's really cheap and not good! Why is this here to help? Were you sent by Daddy Jesus to deliberately trick me?
A man and a bear were just busy with the roar and grief of the cranes.
