Chapter 444 [Alternative Coffee]
These Chinese herbs are too precious, Yang Nianzhong's movements to put them away became cautious, and after they were neatly packed in the suitcase and settled, he directly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the hot sweat on his head, and couldn't help but start to smirk. щ.com
Isn't there a fourth box? That's right, there is a fourth box, and I took out the fourth suitcase and opened it, and inside it was actually four barrels carved from unknown wood. This kind of wood looks different from the red sandalwood and yellow rosewood that everyone knows, and the color is actually black.
What kind of wood is black? Yang Nianzhong didn't know him, and now Yang Nianzhong's laptop was in the luggage, and he wanted to dig it out and find it, and it would take half an hour just to pack up the clothes. So although Yang Nianzhong was curious about these black woods, he didn't use his laptop to check what they were.
The four barrels were pulled out of the box one by one, and the surface was carved with some flowers and plants, and they were all tropical flowers and plants, and the carving technique was very rough.
But underneath these carved plants, there are actually product introduction manuals carved in English and Chinese languages, because the four black wooden barrels are basically the same size, and the contents inside are basically the same weight. In the first wooden barrel, it was actually filled with the best civet coffee, which also had a name called cat poop coffee that Yang Nianzhong couldn't accept.
It sounds disgusting, and its manufacturing process is even more disgusting, but civet coffee is actually the best coffee in the world, with a limited annual production and a gram of civet coffee worth more than $50, and you want to order a cup of civet coffee at a Starbucks coffee shop, you can't do it without $200.
Because the number of civet cats is too small, and civet cats like to eat coffee beans very much, because of their sensitive nose and strong body, they eat coffee beans and only pick mature ones to eat. The coffee beans go around in the civet's stomach and are then expelled from the stomach, and then the barista will collect the cat poop coffee, rinse it, and then roast it to make civet coffee.
Because the price of civet coffee is too expensive, and the taste is also very unique, it is much more expensive than the so-called Blue Mountain coffee, and the price is calculated by grams, which is basically about the same as gold. So over the years, there have been more and more civet cat breeding, but is the gift from His Royal Highness the Prince to Yang Nianzhong so simple? These civet coffees are all wild.
Other people's civet coffee is made by breeding civet cats, and the coffee beans in this black wooden barrel in Yang Nianzhong's hand are actually wild civet cats, and the civet cat coffee that was shot out of wild coffee beans can be imagined as difficult to collect.
What's more, the land area of Brunei is so small, and the number of civet cats is so small, in the civet cat excreted cat feces coffee, these coffee beans must be collected within 12 hours, otherwise it will be moldy, how much effort does it take? As you can imagine, this is the best coffee in the world.
Of course, no matter how good and precious this kind of coffee is, even if it is several times the price of gold, Yang Nianzhong is not interested in him. As soon as Yang Nianzhong thought of the production process of cat poop coffee, he felt disgusted, Yang Nianzhong didn't like it, it couldn't prove that others didn't like it, not to mention these superb wild civet cat coffee, others would like it very much.
So Yang Nianzhong didn't plan to open these civet coffee and let it come into contact with the air, but planned to take it home as it was, and give it to whoever he liked, anyway, Yang Nianzhong didn't drink these things. The second black barrel is still filled with coffee beans, which are even better than civet coffee, and are called elephant coffee beans.
You heard it right, that is, the substances that elephants eat coffee beans and then excrete from their stomachs are actually the same as cat feces coffee, which is called elephant feces coffee and is also a specialty of Southeast Asia.
It was actually collected by wild elephants who ate coffee beans and excreted them from their bodies, Yang Nianzhong wondered why good coffee beans had to be eaten by those animals.
Walk around the field, then defecate, clean it, and roast it into the best coffee beans, do you have to let the gastrointestinal tract of these wild animals help to make such a superb coffee?
What is the logic of this? If you don't drink good coffee beans, you have to drink these disgusting things, which really makes Yang Nianzhong a little puzzled. And these elephant coffee beans are not as precious as those civet coffee beans, and the production volume is much larger, after all, the size of elephants is not comparable to civet cats. But there are a lot of quantities, and it is also very precious, or Yang Nianzhong didn't drink it, and he felt sick when he thought about it.
Yang Nianzhong originally thought that the third barrel was filled with some kind of excellent coffee beans, but was it not the third barrel that was filled with a kind of wild honey, and the honey was not yellow, not milky white but real black, black honey who has ever seen it.
The bee that makes these black honeys, called needleless bees, is smaller than a small ant and has less defense because it does not have a sealed sting needle on its tail to defend itself against.
And it is also a bee species unique to Kalimantan, you can't find this needleless bee anywhere else but Kalimantan, and it is impossible for him to survive on any other island.
Because this needleless bee is so small that it lives in a very high tree hole, the number of bees in a colony will definitely exceed tens of thousands. However, because the nectar collected is too small, it is an extremely precious wild flower, and this extremely precious wild flower has a symbiotic relationship with needleless bees.
What is a symbiotic relationship, the fate of two species is tied together, which species disappears, and the other species in symbiotic relationship will die. Needleless bees can pollinate this special wild flower and make it bloom and bear fruit. The nectar produced by this wild flower is the honey eaten by needleless bees, and no matter how few of the two species there are, no one can survive and reproduce, which is called symbiotic relationship.
Because it is small and lives on the trunk of a tree dozens of meters high, after the honeycomb is destroyed, the amount of honey taken out of it will never exceed 50 grams, and this bamboo tube is actually filled with 25 kilograms of black honey. How many nests of bees do you have to make it, it's so precious, both the collection process and the brewing process are extremely precious.
And it's also from Kalimantan, special products Except for this place, you can't find this kind of black honey in the whole world, such a precious thing, it must be quite beneficial for people to eat it. After laboratory testing and testing by professional laboratories, black honey can supplement various nutrients that the human body cannot ingest through meat plants.
In other words, these honeys supplement human nutrients, which cannot be obtained from other meat plants, and only this kind of honey can supplement humans with this trace element.
Because there are too many of them, we won't list them all here, anyway, these honeys are so good, whether adults or children use them to nourish the body, they are the best, because the quantity is small.
So if you have money, you may not be able to taste the taste and nutritional intake of black honey, and only a top nobleman like Prince Khalid has the ability to obtain so much black honey.
