As Lin predicted before, what limits coffee will not be related knowledge and technology. To be honest, this thing has no technical content at all.
As long as it’s something to eat or drink, someone will always come up with something similar after eating it once or twice. Even if there are some differences, shouldn’t we be able to eat or drink? It’s like running. Is there no professional coach?
If you don’t compete in world-class competitions, will people stop running? Of course not.
The so-called coffee technology is, at best, a discipline that many people agree with, and everyone praises each other. The same goes for tea ceremony. In essence, it is just the pursuit of a taste that one feels is more delicious, but there are always people with different tastes.
There is only one thing that really limits coffee, which is the source of raw materials. The reason why Wuyishan Dahongpao can sell for such a high price is not because of its rarity. It has been more than ten years since Lin came to Midi, and maybe the place where he went is not yet
Although there are many, most of them are limited to the southwest peninsula of the Lost World. Besides, I am not a botanist, but I have only seen coffee in that mountain village, and I have never heard of tea.
But what does that sentence say? The power of the masses is great. Driven by interests, not only magicians are mobilized, adventurers or mercenaries, and even some residents living in remote mountain villages are also mobilized.
The reason why news can spread so quickly is of course due to the dissemination power of the forum.
In this way, within the Xijia District alone, several wild coffee forests of a certain scale were found. Even in the other three subdivisions of the Southwest Peninsula, there were also gains.
However, no matter what kind of production, there will be cost considerations, including labor and transportation, which are difficult to ignore. What's more, in some places deep in the mountains and old forests, where there are more monsters than people, it is not easy to collect local coffee.
It can be done in half a day.
For the long-term plan of the coffee industry, Lin of course handed over all his knowledge about coffee cultivation. But if you want to grow coffee, you have to face the growth period of plants, and woody plants are not comparable to herbaceous plants.
The official output will take three to five years from the seedlings.
Amidst all the difficulties, the mountain village outside Wulian City has become the most stable and scalable source of income at this stage.
In the first half of 1972, coffee knowledge began to spread widely, and in addition to helping a certain book seller earn a lot of kiel (gold coins). Apart from Lin, he was the only one in Wulian City who knew how to make a roaster.
Master Smith was so busy that he stopped his original business and specialized in making machines. For this reason, he also recruited many additional apprentices as helpers.
And those who have the ability and don't care about the cost also transport coffee beans from various places and start business. As more people come into contact with coffee, more people know more about it, and more people drink it, many people are addicted to it.
The characteristics of coffee have been found out one by one. The advantages are countless. As for the disadvantages, it is that it is easy to become addicted, and the demand is growing.
‘Liquid black gold’, this is the first alias for coffee in Midland. And it is not an exaggeration at all, it can even be said to be a little underestimation.
You have to pay for a kir (gold coin) to get a drink. What kind of joke is this?
The price that Lin negotiated with the village residents was that one wooden barrel could hold thirty kilograms of processed raw beans, and five wooden barrels would give them a kilogram. One gold coin was exchanged for a full 150 kilograms of raw beans.
How many cups of coffee can be brewed is unimaginable. Nowadays, the highest price for a cup of brewed coffee is i Geer...
I don’t deny that there are people who are hyping things up, and I don’t deny that now that coffee production has not increased, it is completely a seller’s market. The pricing power is in the hands of others, and the market mechanism is still very far away. People who want to drink coffee can only be at the mercy of others.
,
Precisely because it is so easy to make money, there are so many envious people. It is a trivial matter to come to the door to cause trouble. You can stop them at the source, or poach people who are already familiar with the coffee bar business with high salaries. When the methods become more and more radical, the conflicts will of course further develop.
Expanded. Finally, in the autumn of 1727, the season when coffee was abundant, an unimaginable melee broke out.
Yes, that's right, it's a melee. To put it more clearly, it's a war. Don't think that coffee is something only the masters know how to enjoy. There are also nobles and some business families who have a hand in this. In short, they are powerful
a group of people.
When such a person has a dispute with others, will he give in easily? Especially when the interests of coffee are involved.
Since the truth doesn't make sense, let's not make sense and just use fists to describe the truth.
What started as a verbal dispute turned into a small-scale conflict, and finally a war between nobles. When he heard that someone started a war because of coffee, Lin's heart broke.
In the afternoon, Lin was enjoying a rare leisurely afternoon in the cafe in the corner of the college. Sitting opposite him was Juan Javier, a regular customer of the cafe. The two naturally chatted about the recent war.
The great magician said: "Some people are killing each other because of the things in the cup. As the instigator, won't you step forward to stop them?"
"What can I do to stop them? What position do I have to stop them? If I intervene rashly in everything they do, I will probably die without a burial place."
"Find some more methods. If you can lower the cost and the selling price, that will be a supreme achievement."
"My halloumi coffee is already sold at a reasonable price. The exaggerated price of a cup of i kir has never appeared before. It has always been ijiang (1 silver coin)."
"Ah, I miss the time when I could drink for free."
"It's still possible now, instead of putting the relevant equipment and raw beans in the college's warehouse. Your Anne-Marie can also operate it." Lin Ke has not changed the treatment of a certain great magician. Before.
Whatever you enjoy, enjoy now. For fear of offending the other person, he will turn around and leave in anger.
To be fair, Juan Javier staying in the college and living in the college has brought considerable help. Whether he is sitting here and shocking Xiao Xiao or becoming a long-time employee of the college, as long as he stays in the college, he will be
A group of children, both young and old, gathered around and almost answered every question. So in response to the great magician's complaints, Lin could only coax him with a shy face.
Juan Javier pretended and complained: "Lao Guy, do you know? I came to your apprentice's place to drink coffee, but even my salary was not enough. You want me to pay back, which is wrong.
Bar."
"This only shows that you should be more restrained. The more coffee is absorbed by the human body, the greater the amount that can have an effect, and the more people rely on it."
Such useless conversations happen every now and then, and some people feel helpless.
However, the situation has developed into a small war, which shows that the more courageous the people on the stage are, the more unscrupulous they will act. Finally, what Lin least wanted to see happened.
Someone is eyeing the green coffee beans he bought a year ago. He only drank a small amount of the coffee beans this year. In other words, he still has a certain amount of coffee beans in his hand.
Not only did they come to negotiate in person, some people also secretly visited the warehouses in the community.
Fortunately, during this year, the performance of the academy led by Lin earned him some respect. He did not dare to carry out any evil intentions too blatantly.
For this group of conspirators who show signs of resurgence, if they want to hide in the darkness and plot, there is a huge insurmountable gap staring at them. Anyone who steps on the bottom line of the Lich will silently escape from the lost land.
Disappeared on the main plane of the world.
But no matter how the world changes, life still has to go on. In the college, students' studies are also in full swing. Old John Goodman's energetic shouting leaves no doubt that this guy can continue to live.
Live for a hundred years.
However, among the people being trained, there are a few people who cannot be ignored, and that is the few people who have successfully passed the Second Ring Apprentice Assessment.
After becoming a second-level magic apprentice, working hard towards the goal of becoming an official magician is the most important issue for all second-level apprentices. So for such children, it is obviously inappropriate to use the previous schedule.
The training before becoming the second ring is so densely arranged that there is no gap. This is to hope that these children can concentrate on the path of learning magic and make rapid progress. But when they reach the second ring, they have to start preparing for their future development.
Prepare.
Magicians are not only good at fighting and killing. There is a place for magicians in every field. But because there are too many choices, it is impossible to train all aspects at the same time. You can only pick a few that interest you.
Yes, focus on strengthening efforts in this area.
So which ones are you interested in? This question becomes Lin's most important focus when arranging these second-ring magic apprentices.
However, rather than tailoring a course for each of them, Lin finally chose a simpler approach, which was to let them control their own time outside of the course. Of course, physical training in the early morning and evening is indispensable.
As for how to use this free time, we can probably see what the final development of these second-ring magic apprentices will be.
Fortunately, among this group of children, there is no one who lets himself go completely as soon as there is no discipline. Some choose to continue to live a tense life, and some start to play with things that interest them. Maybe they find the same thing for the time being, but they are not.
If you are really interested in the direction, then look for the third and fourth items.
But no matter what their choice is, for Lin, what he is doing can only be regarded as an experiment. An experiment to see how these children who have passed the second ring apprenticeship assessment will arrange their suddenly free lives. In this way, for the children
Is it appropriate? Or maybe we should keep training them until they graduate.
