Chapter 511: I Want to Catch Cats

Some things are easier said than done. If you want to cultivate a brand that is on par with Blue Mountain Coffee, you can do it without moving around. For example, Blue Mountain coffee, which is produced in Jamaica, began to be cultivated as early as the year of Koukou, at the direct request of King Louis XV of France. Blue Mountain coffee is well-known all over the world, not only because its quality is indeed unique and good, but also because it is directly related to various factors such as its cultivation history and social impact.

If he starts from scratch step by step, it may take more than ten years, or even twenty or thirty years, for Liu Shiqing to be able to erect a brand new coffee brand. As we all know, coffee is actually an extremely competitive industry, only in Hainan Province, there are more than a dozen local coffee brands, coffee planting area, the highest, once as many as more than 200,000 acres. As the largest coffee-growing province in the country, Yunnan's planting area in the province is as high as more than 480,000 mu, accounting for more than the gills of the country's coffee planting and total output.

The best coffee in the world is produced between the northern latitudes and the Tropic of Capricorn.

Coffee is a tropical plant, which is suitable for cultivation in all parts of Hainan, and the coffee grown in volcanic laterite soil has a special fragrance and is the top quality of coffee. It is recognized as the top coffee in the international coffee industry, and the largest area of volcanic laterite in Hainan is in the Qiaotou, Fushan, Jinjiang and Dafeng areas of Chengmai County. As an agricultural product, the yield per mu of coffee is higher than that of sugarcane, rubber and tea under normal conditions.

If Liu Shiqing wants to develop the coffee industry, it is definitely not possible to use normal means. Even if he can effectively integrate the coffee gardens in Hainan Island, he will build a coffee brand and want to gain a foothold in front of century-old brands such as Nestle and Blue Mountain. It's almost impossible to compete with them on the same level.

What Liu Shiqing can do is to be opportunistic, that is, to find a way that can perfectly imitate Indonesian Ruwak coffee, and use this as a starting point to quickly gain a foothold in the global coffee market, and then launch a brand that is quickly accepted by coffee lovers around the world.

Indonesian Ruak coffee beans, also known as Mixiang cat coffee beans, are also called concave four ....... It is produced in Sumatra, Java, and Survesh in Indonesia, with an annual production of only about a dollar, and its price is as high as a pound of US dollars. This coffee is produced in a unique way, in these islands of Indonesia there is a marsupial civet cat, this kind of civet cat likes to eat the coffee cherries from the coffee tree, and the local civet cat excrement picks out the relatively intact beans and is coated in pulp mucus and processes them into Ruak coffee beans. The fermentation of enzymes in the stomach of this coffee bean has a unique flavor.

This coffee has a very thick and caramel flavor. Although the coffee beans have some stale and jungle aromas, the roasted beans have a very complex aroma. Since the stomach acid and enzymes in the tanuki's digestive system are very different from the fermentation process of coffee and the use of water to get drunk, the coffee has a syrupy thickness. Milk Four Mountains... The coffee tastes mellow and smooth. The coffee, which is as thick as chocolate liquor, leaves a long, clear aftertaste on your tongue.

In fact, before Liu Shiqing, there were too many people who wanted to imitate this coffee, but because they couldn't find a substitute for the local Luxiang cat, and the reproduction rate and survival rate of the Indonesian fan cat were extremely low, so there was no way to expand the production of Ruak coffee. In addition, the quality of Ruak coffee is incomparable to other coffee beans, so that the price of Ruak coffee has always been in a high position in the international market.

What Liu Shiqing has to do is to find a replacement for the Suxiang cat, and his goal is the vast primeval tropical forest on Hainan Island, hoping to find the traces of the Suxiang cat and "arrest it"

After Liu Shiqing said hello to the two masters, he separated from the two masters. Liu Shiqing asked people to rent a few cars from a car rental company in Sanya, and bought some necessary equipment at a field equipment store in Sanya, including powerful flashlights, tents, water bottles, mosquito repellent, etc., which are two large backpacks. Then head straight to Lingshui County, located in the southeast of Hainan Province. Liu Shiqing asked Song Yihan to find a way to apply for a hunting license at the Lingshui County Forestry Bureau.

"Mr. Liu, do you want to hunt?" Song Yihan felt that he really couldn't catch up with Liu Shiqing's train of thought, and he wanted to come out of it, but he didn't know what kind of evil he had committed today, but Cai remembered to hunt.

Liu Shiqing smiled, "Yes, I want to catch cats." Sister Song, don't ask so much, hurry up and do it. ”

Song Yihan had no choice, so he drove to the Lingshui County Forestry Bureau alone, directly found the director, showed her ID card of the National Security Bureau, and asked him to apply for a hunting license for himself. When did the director of the Lingshui County Forestry Bureau see the documents of the staff of the National Security Bureau, he didn't say a word, he immediately applied for a hunting license for Song Yihan, and by the way, he also gave her a few blank hunting licenses, and asked Song Yihan to take them, and she could fill in anyone's name if she wanted.

Song Yihan was angry and funny, threw the blank hunting license back to the director of the Forestry Bureau, and left with the completed permit.

Twenty or thirty years ago, hunters were still a legal profession in China, but with the dwindling number of wild animals and the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, hunters have basically disappeared in China under the leadership of the government. But there are still a lot of poachers, all over the north and south of the river, the most well-known is probably the poachers who poached Tibetan antelopes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

After Song Yihan got the hunting license, he made peace with Liu Shiqing. Liu Shiqing asked Song Yihan to put away the permit, and then the convoy went straight to Diaoluo Mountain National Forest Park. Liu Shiqing and his entourage parked several rented cars in the parking lot outside the park.

Diaoluo Mountain National Forest Park has the original tropical rainforest area that is extremely precious in China, and the scenery in the scenic area is beautiful, where there are many natural tourist landscapes such as lakes and mountains, peaks and peaks, waterfalls and streams, giant trees and ancient trees, exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts, caves and strange stones, etc., and there are the famous Fengguo Mountain waterfalls and the beautiful southern pastoral scenery on the island. It is one of the most worthwhile scenic spots in Hainan.

After Liu Shiqing and his entourage entered the park, they were deeply attracted by the charming scenery in the scenic area, Guo Qianrong and others just wanted to have a few more pairs of eyes to come out, so that they could take in the beautiful scenery around them at one time.

Most of Liu Shiqing's attention was on the woods and bushes that can be seen everywhere in the scenic spot, and after Guo Qianrong enjoyed the scenery for a while, she felt that her boyfriend's expression was a little abnormal. "Shiqing, you said you want to catch cats, Wei Ao is going to catch cats in Diaoluo Mountain National Forest Park?"

Liu Shiqing nodded, "There is a kind of fragrant cat in Diaoluo Mountain, I want to catch a few wild ones to go back." Do a little bit of real yàn. ”

"Can the fragrant cat of Diaoluo Mountain help you make coffee? Is it similar to the fan cat on Ruak's island in Indonesia? Since knowing Liu Shiqing's purpose for coming to Hainan Island, Guo Qianrong also checked some information in private, and immediately guessed Liu Shiqing's purpose for doing so.

Liu Shiqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's so easy there." The Mixiang cat of Diaoluo Mountain is just an introduction, after grabbing, a series of work needs to be done, the first is to feed them, let them achieve self-reproduction, expand the population, and then they also need to cross with some other kinds of fan cats, and breed a new hybrid Mixiang cat "Anyway, it's quite complicated, even if we can catch the Mixiang cat of Diaoluo Mountain smoothly, and then it is the same qiēshun lì, and when the coffee is successfully made, it will take at least more than a year." In terms of time, it will probably be possible to see results next summer. ”

Some things are not urgent, just like a woman giving birth to a child, she must have a ten-month gestation process before she can give birth, and the only thing she can do before is to wait patiently.

"Shiqing, isn't the fragrant cat very beautiful?" Wang Fujia finally withdrew his gaze from the surrounding lakes and mountains.

"The cat is actually quite an interesting animal, and it is a second-class protected animal in our country's animal protection list. The body length is larger than that of ordinary domestic cats, and the weight is generally more than ten catties. The color of the hair is mainly gray-yellow-brown, and there is a sac-like aromatic gland on the body of the fan cat, which can secrete an oily civet fragrance, once it encounters a foreign enemy, the civet cat will spray out this civet incense, this civet incense is very smelly, and generally those who hunt the natural enemies of the fan cat will be smoked away. However, after artificially refining and dilution, this civet incense can be made into a fixative with a singular fragrance. Guo Qianrong briefly refined the information she found about the fanxiang cat, and in a few words, she said the main characteristics of the fanxiang cat.

"According to you, isn't the fan-incense cat like a weasel, who excretes the stench to smoke away the enemy?" Originally, the women were quite interested in the fan cat, but when they learned that the fan cat actually used this method to block the enemy, they immediately lost interest in this kind of little guy.

"Rong Rong, if you meet a fan cat later, you, Sister Yang, Tiantian, Jiajia and Sister Song will stay together, and Sister Duan and I will go to catch the cat." Liu Shiqing simply arranged the task, and then turned to Duan Liyi, "Sister Duan, no problem, right?" ”

Duan Liyi shook her head, isn't it just catching cats? Not to mention that the Mixiang Cat just used low-level means similar to farting to deter the enemy, even if there were more powerful means, Duan Liyi wouldn't care. When she used to survive in the wild on the island, sometimes when she woke up, she could find a few poisonous snakes from the bed, and the scene was much more dangerous and exciting than it is now.

Liu Shiqing walked around Diaoluo Mountain National Forest Park for more than an hour, not to mention the shadow of the fanxiang cat, and they didn't even touch a single cat hair.

Speaking of which, Liu Shiqing just knew that the Duxiang cat in Diaoluo Mountain could be used as a fermentation source for coffee after being crossed. But I don't know where the Xiangxiang cats in Diaoluo Mountain are haunting and what rules they have.

It didn't turn in vain for more than an hour, at least the waterfall under the flying stream "Ding Dong's spring water has seen several, and other unknown wildflowers also abound. There is water everywhere, flowers and trees everywhere, and the sound of birds is constantly pleasant.

"Boss, isn't it a way to go on like this? Shall we ask a local question? It's better to be able to find one. The locals who are familiar with Diaoluo Mountain will give us a tour guide and take us to look for the fan cat. Yang Nuoting said.

Liu Shiqing thought about it, and nodded in agreement. Diaoluo Mountain National Forest Park covers an area of 10,000 hectares, and in such a place that stretches for dozens of miles, it is really difficult to find a fan cat that is not much bigger than a domestic cat

Because today is Saturday, there are relatively many tourists in the scenic area, but they are just tourists, and their understanding of Diaoluo Mountain National Forest Park may not be as good as Liu Shiqing, who has made some preparations in advance. It was simply impossible to expect them to help him find the cat.

The women and Liu Shiqing looked for people who looked like locals, and about another hour later, a middle-aged man wearing Li costume walked down from the mountain next to him, carrying a medicine hoe in his hand and a medicine basket behind him. Inside the medicine basket are some freshly collected herbs

Diaoluo Mountain National Forest Park is not only a paradise for animals, but also a treasure trove rich in Chinese medicinal materials, local people often go up the mountain to collect some Chinese medicinal materials, or use them for their own use, or after simple processing, sell them to the recipients.

Liu Shiqing's eyes lit up, and he took three steps and two steps, and rushed to the front of the medicine picker, "Uncle, can you understand what I said?" ”

The middle-aged man opened his mouth to say a string of obscure words, although Liu Shiqing has mastered a variety of foreign languages, but he has no research on the language of the Li nationality.

Looking at Liu Shiqing's blank face, the middle-aged man slowed down his speech, almost one word at a time. The words jumped out, Liu Shiqing still couldn't understand, at this time, Duan Liyi walked over, she said: "Boss, this big brother of the Li nationality seems to say that he can understand Mandarin, but he can't speak." ”

The middle-aged man nodded again and again, and gave Duan Liyi a thumbs up with a smile.

It's nice to be able to understand. Liu Shiqing even gestured and said, "Uncle, we want to have a good tour of Diaoluo Mountain, and there is a lack of someone who is familiar with the environment of Diaoluo Mountain, can you be a guide for us?" ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and he even said something with a gesture, Duan Liyi didn't know much about the Li language, and even guessed, "Boss, he seems to be saying that he doesn't have time." There are people in the family who are anxiously waiting for these herbs to cure their diseases. ”

The middle-aged man nodded again.

Liu Shiqing thought for a while, "Can we go to your village and find someone who is familiar with Diaoluo Mountain." Will you be our guide? ”

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, and said in Mandarin with great difficulty, "Welcome to our Shansai as a guest." ”
