Chapter 69: Night Talk Coffee

"When I woke up, I was already lying in the health center in the small town. I heard the barefoot doctor who took care of me said that it was two fellow villagers who went to the town to exchange mountain products for salt. On the return trip, they saw me lying down. Sitting under the tree, when I felt it was abnormal, I went up to check that I was bitten by a snake. The two people quickly tied me to their bodies with a rope for tying mountain products. They took turns and carried me all the way to the town before they were rescued. My life.
It’s a pity that the two fellows who saved me took the person to the hospital and left in a hurry. I didn’t even leave the name. My eyes were in a trance, and I really couldn’t remember the benefactor’s appearance, although I tried everything afterwards. Inquired, but finally didn't find out anything. Those two are definitely not our fellow villagers in Yangjiazhai. The other villages are far away and the traffic is really inconvenient, so my thoughts of finding these two gradually faded.
However, although I don't know the names of these two benefactors, I will always remember that Zheng Xiangqing owes his life to the fellows of Nanyun! If I can make them live better, I am willing to do anything. "
Zheng Xiangqing finished his escape from the dead, and his eyes were a little erratic, as if his thoughts had returned to the unforgettable time spent in Nanyun many years ago. There were sufferings and wonderful things there. If possible, he really wants to go back. Look at the piece of rubber planted by yourself.
Tan Zhenhua coughed twice and brought Zheng Xiangqing back to reality. He smiled apologetically and said: "I'm sorry, I just remembered something, I'm distracted, Zhenhua, you go on, how can I help? The fellow villagers in Nanyun?"
Tan Zhenhua smiled and said: "It's okay, you have to be sad to bring up Xiang Qing, it's me."
Zheng Xiangqing shook his head and did not speak any more.
Tan Zhenhua went on to say: "If you want to help Nanyun's fellow villagers, you have to start with this product." After speaking, he took a stack of manuscript paper on the table and spread it out for everyone to see.
On the first page of the manuscript paper, a strange machine was drawn. The shape of this machine is basically square, obviously on the front panel, with several switches embedded, and an unknown purpose. There is a large knob, a small water outlet at the bottom, and a small box on the top that looks removable.
Pan Shuisheng looked at this thing and studied it for a long time. With his ability to deal with all kinds of machinery for half his life, he couldn't even see what it was. He had no choice but to ask, "Zhenhua, what is your painting?"
Tan Zhenhua said with a smile: "This thing is very rare in China, because we, Huaxia people, don't need this for the time being."
Pan Shuisheng did not participate in the conversation between Tan Zhenhua and Zheng Xiangqing last night. He knew nothing about the future route that the two had discussed. He couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the words: "Huh? We Chinese people don't need this thing, then get it out. What are you doing? Oh, isn't it for exporting again?"
Tan Zhenhua gave Pan Shuisheng a thumbs up and said: "Uncle Pan is on the point. This product is called a fully automatic coffee machine, which is specially prepared for export. Foreigners like to drink coffee, just like we Chinese people like. It’s the same as drinking tea. It’s a long tradition. It’s not good to say. Some of them don’t eat for a day. If they don’t drink coffee for a day, it will kill them! My machine is just for them. Prepared, as long as you put the coffee beans in this box, put the water in this jar, press the switch, the coffee here will automatically flow out, there are several flavors for them to choose, this machine, they must be very good like."
Pan Shuisheng patted his forehead: "When you talk about coffee, I still remember it. I drank that stuff. It's dark, bitter, and not good at all!"
This time it was Tan Zhenhua's turn to be surprised: "Uncle Pan is amazing, you have used this foreign meat? When and where to drink, hurry up and talk about it, let me increase my knowledge."
Pan Shuisheng said with embarrassment: "That was more than 20 years ago. When I and your Aunt Liu were just getting married, our senior worker Zhang said that he had nothing to give me, so he told me to taste something. Things, I made a drink for me and Liu Mei alone. I was fine, although I felt a bit bitter, I gritted my teeth and finished the drink. Don’t tell me, after drinking it, I finally felt quite fragrant. Liu Mei was embarrassed. She took a sip and threw up all, and said she didn't touch anything for the second time. The chief worker sighed and said that it was a pity that he drank a little less because of the coffee beans he brought back from Britain."
Tan Zhenhua understood what Pan Shuisheng said.
The Chief Engineer Zhang in the institute was a visiting scholar at the University of Leicester and the Academy of Communications in the British Empire. He had drunk authentic Western ink. It is not unusual for him to have such a hobby.
After figuring out what it was, everyone began to study the internal drawings of the product. Tan Zhenhua had already drawn a rough idea. However, after all, he was born to play with electronics. It is really difficult for him to assemble a complete set of mechanical drawings. It can only draw a schematic diagram of the principle, but after the basic principle is understood, it is actually not difficult.
Pan Shuisheng looked at the old drawings. Although it was a bit difficult for him to draw by himself, he did not have any problems at all. After reading the whole set of drawings, he summed it up and said: "Zhenhua, your set of drawings, It can only be calculated as a schematic diagram, but it has not reached the point where the product can be made according to the diagram. It is necessary to find a professional mechanical designer to improve it. However, I think it is not difficult. Professionals can get it out in two or three days. Otherwise, Tomorrow I will find Xiao Li, who is doing structural design, to see if he can help."
Zheng Xiangqing interjected: "Zhenhua, your coffee machine, I think it is good, and I have heard that foreigners like to drink this, but what does this have to do with helping Nanyun fellow?"
Hearing this, Tan Zhenhua nodded secretly. With just one sentence, Zheng Xiangqing is good. The product is a good product. It is not surprising to see at a glance. What is rare is that the folks in Nanyun still remember the old thoughts. You can't be wrong, it seems that Zheng Xiangqing was caught by a mistake.
He asked: "Xiang Qing, you have been in Nanyun for several years. Have you ever heard that Nanyun also produces coffee?"
"This...really nothing."
"Oh, you tell me, how many good things are hidden in our big China? Let me tell you, don't look at the foreigners who like coffee, but let me say that the blue star is the best Coffee beans are still produced in China, and in Nanyun!"
"What?" Zheng Xiangqing was not surprised and rejoiced. He grabbed Tan Zhenhua's and said: "What you said is true?"
"Xiang Qing, don't get excited, listen to me slowly.
"This coffee bean is not a native species of Nanyun. It was introduced to Nanyun by a missionary from Gaul in 1892, and it took root and sprouted in Nanyun. The western and southern parts of Nanyun Province Located between 15 north latitude and the Tropic of Cancer, most areas are at an altitude of 1000-2000 meters. The terrain is dominated by mountains and slopes, with large ups and downs, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, abundant rainfall, and large temperature difference between day and night. These unique natural The conditions have formed the special taste of Nanyun small-grain coffee-strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity.
In fact, in the 1950s, Nanyun's small-grained coffee was very popular in the international coffee market, and it was rated as the top quality coffee. It is a pity that it has only been more than two decades, and even the reputation is lost. I said what kind of rubber did you grow in Baoshan at that time. Baoshan is one of the best areas for growing coffee beans. If you were growing coffee at that time, you would have earned foreign exchange in bundles and boxes, so how would you end up making yourself so bitter. "
Zheng Xiangqing jumped up and trembling with excitement. He tremblingly asked: "Zhenhua, what you said is true? You didn't lie to me?"
Tan Zhenhua smiled slightly and said, "You give me an example of lying to you."
After thinking about it carefully, it really didn't. Don't look at Tan Zhenhua who can't say a few words about business, just want to take advantage of others, but he hasn't deceived Zheng Xiangqing. Of course, maybe someone has a high IQ and deceived himself, but he still doesn't know.
Zheng Xiangqing stood up straight, then took a shot to the bottom, saying: "If this happens, I will first take care of Baoshan, and thank you Zhenhua for the fellows of Nanyun!"
