Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1193 Roasted Coffee Beans

Zhao Lei noticed just now that Hammond had brought a few large boxes of luggage, and only now did he know that two of the boxes contained a set of portable coffee roasting tools!

This also made Zhao Lei secretly admire him in addition to the accident. He is indeed a top professional, and even the guy who eats is carried with him. This is the real dedication!

Although this set of roasting tools is very small and can only roast two or three kilograms of coffee beans at most, it has many benefits.First of all, it is easy to carry, which is convenient for Hammond to discover good coffee varieties all over the world.Secondly, because there are fewer coffee beans roasted, it is easier to control the quality, allowing Hammond to dig out the best quality of coffee beans as much as possible.

Hammond quickly set up his roasting tools and began roasting the first beans.

Hammond had just started working, and Yu Zheng couldn't wait to say to Zhao Lei: "Master Zhao, we have agreed, I must have my share of the first batch of coffee beans!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "No problem, as long as Mr. Yu thinks highly of Xianhu Coffee, I can give you all the first batch of roasted coffee beans!"

Yu Zheng nodded happily and said, "It's a deal!"

"Quiet!" Hammond gave Yu Zheng a dissatisfied look and said, "You are so noisy, I can't concentrate!"

People with real skills like Hammond will have a bit of a temper, especially when it comes to their areas of expertise, and there is no room for flaws.

So Yu Zheng was not angry because of this, but exchanged glances with Zhao Lei, and both of them watched Hammond roasting coffee quietly.

I heard that the master coffee roaster is here and is trying to roast the first batch of coffee beans. Many employees on the farm who are free come to watch the excitement.But seeing that the boss was so quiet, of course everyone didn't dare to speak out casually, so although there were quite a few people watching, they didn't bother Hammond.

Elisa was one of them, lying on the window with the others, watching Hammond's every move curiously.

Zhao Lei saw Elisa at the window as soon as he turned his head. He had a good impression of the girl, so he smiled and waved to Elisa, saying that she could come in and watch Hammond roast coffee.

This made the girl happy, she hurried out of the crowd, and came to the office with a smile on her face.However, Elisa did not dare to disturb Hammond, but stood silently behind him, watching the coffee roaster work quietly.

As Hammond operated skillfully, everyone in the office soon smelled the aroma of coffee.

Hammond, who had a serious expression, also showed a smile, and nodded slightly involuntarily, very satisfied with Xianhu Coffee's performance.

And Yu Zheng beside him was already full of intoxication, and couldn't help but admire in a low voice: "Oh, Master Zhao, you gave me another surprise, this fragrance is simply..."

"Quiet!" Hammond said without turning his head, "If you talk too much, get out!"

Yu Zheng quickly shut up, he didn't want to disturb Hammond's work at this time.It’s fine to be told by the master coffee roaster, if it affects Hammond’s control of the heat and ruins such good coffee beans, it would be a pity.

Fortunately, everyone didn't wait too long, Hammond quickly turned off the power switch, opened the small baking oven and said with satisfaction: "It's done!"

Now that Yu Zheng was finally able to speak, he couldn't wait to say: "Quick, let's try!"

Hammond glanced at Yu Zheng helplessly, but the movement of his hands did not stop, and soon began the steps of brewing coffee.

Hammond even brought a full set of tools for roasting coffee, and of course there are no less tools for brewing coffee.With his skilled movements, it didn't take long for several times more fragrant coffee to be placed on the table.

"I'm sorry!" Yu Zheng greeted, and couldn't wait to pick up a cup of coffee and taste it.

Hammond signaled Zhao Lei to take it easy, and then picked up a cup of coffee to taste carefully.

Zhao Lei handed a cup of coffee to Elisa first, and said to her with a smile: "You have waited for so long, you should try it too."

"Thank you!" Zhao Lei's concern filled the girl with joy, and she immediately smiled at Zhao Lei, feeling extremely happy.

Zhao Lei also picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip. Although he was a complete amateur to coffee, he also felt that this coffee was indeed different from the ones he had drunk before.Not only is the aroma more intense, but it also has a long aftertaste. Even he, who doesn't like coffee very much, can't help but take a few more sips.

As for Yu Zheng and Hammond, they were already completely intoxicated. The two slowly sipped the coffee in their cups. Although they didn't say a word, they could tell from their expressions that they were very satisfied with the coffee.

Yu Zheng drank the last drop of coffee in the cup, gave Zhao Lei a thumbs up and said, "I only have one word for this coffee, and that is... great!"

Hammond also drank the coffee, and said with emotion on his face: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Zhao could grow such excellent coffee beans in such an environment. In my career, this is the first time I have seen only coffee beans A roast with such layers of flavor and such a perfectly balanced coffee is simply outstanding!"

With Hammond's words, Zhao Lei also had confidence in his heart, and asked him with a smile: "Then... would Mr. Hammond help me roast the remaining coffee beans?"

"I am very willing!" Hammond said seriously: "It is my honor to be able to participate in this event that can affect the history of coffee in the world."

Yu Zheng smiled and said: "Then it's settled, I didn't come here in vain, so I'm going to go back now. Master Zhao, we have agreed, these coffee beans belong to me!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "No problem, is this enough? If not, I'll send you some later."

"Of course it would be great!" Yu Zheng said with satisfaction, "There's no need to look back, anyway, Hammond is here, please ask him to bake another batch for me, I can stay and wait!"

Hammond couldn't help but glanced at Yu Zheng and said, "You're really welcome!"

But Hammond and Yu Zheng are old friends, and despite what they said, they agreed to roast another batch of coffee beans for him.

Of course Zhao Lei and Yu Zheng would be by the side. As for the curiosity of the others, they all dispersed and went about their respective affairs.Only Elisa remained in the office, watching Hammond roast the beans carefully.

It didn't take long for the unique aroma of coffee beans to permeate the air. With the previous experience, Zhao Lei knew that this pot of coffee beans was about to be roasted.

However, at this moment, Hammond's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and hurried out to answer the phone.

Zhao Lei, Yu Zheng and Elisa were left in the office, waiting for Hammond to come back and continue working.

Zhao Lei and Yu Zheng chatted casually, while Elisa looked anxiously at the tools for roasting coffee beans.After hesitating for a while, the mixed-race girl finally made up her mind and turned off the electric stove.
