Chapter 37 Big Fudge and Admirers
"The boss is not here, I will count on what I say about ordinary things." Qiu Baohua smiled and asked Fan Heng and his son to sit down, then brought over the coffee that had been brewed and poured a cup of each of the Fan and his sons.
Fan Heng took a sip and frowned. He had never enjoyed this foreign thing before. He felt bitter in his mouth for a moment. He thought Qiu Baohua had gotten some expired drink.
When I looked back at my son, I saw Fan Wubing holding a quilt and savoring it, looking leisurely and contented.
"Good coffee, this is the authentic Blue Mountain taste." Fan Wubing took a sip and was suddenly surprised.
Fan Wubing had drunk authentic Blue Mountain coffee before he was born, and it was in its source, so he was familiar with its taste. This coffee has all the characteristics of good coffee. It not only has a strong and mellow taste, but also because of the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter taste, it does not have a bitter taste at all, and only has a moderate and perfect sour taste. It is hard to forget after drinking it.
Unexpectedly, after rebirth, he actually drank the authentic Blue Mountain more than 20 years in advance. Fan Wubing couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"I've drunk it before?" Qiu Baohua was a little shocked.
This little coffee was collected by Qiu Baohua's boss. He had never taken it out to entertain guests. Today, Qiu Baohua was deliberately showing off in front of Fan Wubing and his son, so he took it out and showed it. It turned out that he didn't expect them to taste anything. Who knew that Fan Wubing only took a sip and revealed the background of the coffee. Why didn't Qiu Baohua surprised?
This guy is really not an ordinary child! Thinking of the various phenomena that happened to Fan Wubing, Qiu Baohua's gaze at Fan Wubing was even more extraordinary.
"Haha, I just know." Fan Wubing certainly couldn't say that he had never drunk it before, but he had drunk it later, so he shook the cup in his hand and laughed, "Anyone who has heard of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee knows that it is the most expensive coffee in the world, but not everyone knows why. Just like the Rolls-Royce cars and the violin made by Stradivari, when something gains the best reputation in the world, this reputation often makes it form its own characteristics and becomes a myth that will last forever."
Fan Heng was sweating profusely on the side. Is this what my son said? Why don’t I understand a little?
Qiu Baohua looked even more respectful and humbly asked for advice after hearing this, "Our boss has said before that this coffee is the best coffee in the world, but he doesn't know why it is the best. Do you know the details?"
Fan Wubing intentionally shocked Qiu Baohua and said casually, "In 1717, King Louis XV of France ordered the cultivation of coffee in Jamaica. In the mid-1920s, Sir Nicholas Rauss, the Governor of Jamaica, imported Arabica seeds from Martinique and began to promote planting in the St. Andrew area. Until today, the St. Andrew area is still one of the three largest producers of Blue Mountain coffee in Jamaica. By 1932, coffee production reached its peak, and more than 15,000 tons of coffee were harvested.
The Jamaican government established the Jamaica Coffee Industry Committee in 1950. It sets quality standards for Jamaican coffee and supervises the implementation of quality standards to ensure the quality of Jamaican coffee. The committee has issued special official seals for raw and roasted coffee exported by Jamaica, and is the highest-level national coffee institution in the world. Currently, six signs that can represent the origin of Blue Mountain coffee include the Central Factory of the Maffith River Embankment (M.B.C.E), Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperation Factory (M.H.C.C.T.), Portland Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperation Factory (P.X.X.S.H.), Coffee Industry Association (Warren Ford), Coffee Industry Association (St. John's Peak) and Blue Mountain (J.A.S).
Later coffee production encountered some difficulties, and it was not until 1969 that the situation improved by using Japanese loans to improve production quality, thus ensuring market supply.”
After saying this, Qiu Baohua and Fan Heng were both a little stunned. Seeing this, Fan Wubing smiled slightly and said, "The weather, geological structure and terrain in Jamaica provide an ideal place for coffee planting, so the best Blue Mountain coffee is produced. Their coffee trees all grow on rugged hillsides, and the picking process is very difficult. It is impossible for non-local skilled female workers to do it. It is very important to choose the right mature coffee beans when picking. If they are not mature or ripe, they will affect the quality of the coffee. The picked coffee beans must be shelled on the same day and then let them ferment. After that, the coffee beans are washed and screened, and the subsequent process is to dry them.
The drying must be carried out on cement floor or on a thick blanket until the humidity of the coffee beans drops to a certain range, and then placed in a special warehouse stack to store. Take it out and roast it and grind it into powder when needed. These procedures must be strictly controlled, otherwise the quality of the coffee will be affected. It is only because the Japanese have always invested in the Jamaican coffee industry. Most of the Blue Mountain Coffee is now mastered by the Japanese, and they have also obtained the priority refusal of Blue Mountain Coffee. Ninety percent of Blue Mountain Coffee is in the hands of the Japanese, and it is only about 600 tons a year, so this thing is always priceless. It is thanks to Mr. Qiu to drink a cup today."
After a long time, Qiu Baohua sighed, "Listen to Brother Fan, it's really a kind of knowledge! When our boss comes back, he can learn and sell it right away, which shocked him! I just don't know where Brother Fan's knowledge comes from?"
"What kind of knowledge is this?" Fan Wubing said suddenly, "You can know anything when you read more books, newspapers and magazines."
Qiu Baohua didn't think so. A child of such a young man not only understood the way of management, but also had such a great knowledge to discuss the history of coffee in a cup. Who would believe this? He originally did not believe in genius, but now under the witness of Fan Wubing's special case, he couldn't help but believe it. He even believed that even the statement of genius was not enough to describe a freak like Fan Wubing.
Due to Fan Wubing's deception, Qiu Baohua directly became Fan Wubing's FANS.
