Magic Tower Starry Sky

The small commotion outside the house did not enter the eyes of the people inside the house at all. Lin also stated that the purpose of his trip was neither to find experimental materials, to sacrifice the entire village, nor to perform a ritual to summon demons. His trip is for the fruit that is full of mountains and valleys, and no one cares about it.

Of course, the forest does not only need the output of one tree or two trees. If this is all it takes, he and his two little apprentices can do it by themselves. Anyway, this forest is also unowned, and the villagers can only stare blankly, not daring to do anything to the magician with two huge monsters .

However, Lin hopes to pick and process as many as possible, which requires human help and a place to work. What is more convenient than the mountain people who live in this mountain and worry about winter food during the slack period.

The requirement is very simple. According to Lin's treatment process, the pulp and peel of the fruit are peeled off, and only the seeds inside are left in the end. According to the weight of the seeds of the final product, Lin paid the corresponding remuneration.

When he was shaking a purse, he made a crisp sound to attract everyone's attention. Then casually spread the money bag on the table, revealing the yellow color inside, no one questioned Lin's credit anymore, only asked what to do.

Lin first picked out 5 gold coins from the purse, pushed them in front of the old man, and said: "This is the deposit I gave you first, which is probably the price we agreed on, the quantity of XXV (25) barrels of green beans. I expect to stay One to two months. If during this period, the output of beans is less than XXV barrels, I will not ask you to return my remaining money. But if the output is much greater than the amount of XXV, of course I will pay the agreed amount , pay you what you deserve."

Because there is no good sack craftsmanship in this world, Lin simply chose wooden barrels for preservation. In terms of air permeability, moisture-proof, fresh-keeping, moth-proof, and insect-proof effects, wooden barrels are better than sackcloth bags. The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is heavy. But weight is a problem for magicians? So Lin didn't think about it.

The agreed wooden barrel should be filled with XXX ten days, which is 30 kilograms of green beans. For every five barrels, Lin pays I Kiel (1 gold); and I Kiel can buy half a year's coarse grains for a family of four. That is to say, the V Kiel (5 gold) that Lin paid in advance is enough for all the people in this village, and there is still more to survive a month of winter. Cooperate with their original food reserves, and save a little more food and expenses, this winter will no longer have to worry about it.

That's right, when the economic scale is still in its original state, and most people at the bottom have neither much consumption power nor consumption demand, Kiel, that is, the purchasing power of gold coins is very strong.

As for the way of organizing and managing the manpower, Lin identified the old man in front of him as a window for him to communicate with the villagers. Including ordering work, collecting remuneration and then distributing it to everyone. Of course, if you have any opinions, you can communicate with him through the old man. Instead of personally organizing villagers who are willing to work for themselves.

Is it fair to do this?

All I can say is, not at all.

At least in the case of Lin, the employer, without too much involvement, it is difficult to avoid behaviors such as the old man using his power for personal gain, and naturally there is no fairness at all.

But doing so has several advantages. The most direct point is that I only have gold coins on my body, and I don’t have coins of smaller value, so it is difficult to give corresponding remuneration according to everyone’s labor. That being the case, it is much easier for Lin to hand over to one person, and let him use other methods to reasonably pay the results of everyone's labor.

The second point is that Lin is completely unfamiliar with the people in this village. You have to manage everyone in the form of hired workers, not to mention how much energy it will consume, will the other party trust you? How motivated is each? Who is right for what? Lin is not clear about these things, so naturally there is no need to mention work efficiency.

In this case, it is better to use the form of contract labor. Lin is only responsible to one person, and this person takes care of other chores. And the best candidate is, of course, the first old man who dared to contact him, and also the only one who accepted the gift of his goodwill──the original gold coin──.

For such a person, as long as Lin didn't demand too much, the old man would faintly stand by Lin's side. Because he will understand that his power comes from the money given by Lin. So if you don't want to lose the opportunity of a fox pretending to be a tiger, you can only curry favor.

Furthermore, this is only the first transaction. When they can really use their labor and get rewards, then discuss with them how to plant coffee trees in a planned and large-scale manner, and improve the subsequent processing procedures, and then deliver them to themselves who live in Wulian City .

It would be more useful to say these words after they have tasted the sweetness for the first time. If you make such a request now and make a plan that you think is 100%, it will be different from drawing a big cake and putting it in front of their eyes. Without initial trust established, follow-up plans and ideas are empty talk. I am not the lord of this place, and I have no power to order anyone.

However, none of these considerations seemed to have ever existed in the hearts of these mountain people. They simply think that there is a benefit or a disadvantage in doing so. Do it if it is good, and reject it if it is bad. Their attitude towards life is that simple.

So under Lin's order, nearly a hundred people in the village, including the elderly and children, started to move. Perhaps some old and weak people are not suitable for heavy work, but there is no age limit for harvesting fruits. As long as you have hands and feet, you can at most go back and forth a few more times to gather the fruits in your basket.

Even if the feet are really inconvenient, it can also take on the second step, the task of selecting beans. The main purpose here is to pick out impurities, such as small stones, and eliminate obvious low-quality beans.

From the third step, it is a bit heavy. The first thing is to dig a pool, and there is a mountain stream next to the small village, flowing down from a higher mountain, just enough to divert water into the pool. The next step is to throw all the coffee cherries into the water. The ripe and plump berries will sink to the bottom of the tank, while the immature or damaged ones will float to the surface.

There are differences from the fourth step. Half of the fruits will be spread on the sun-drying field in the village for sun-drying. Turn it over every day to let the fruit dry evenly. Cover at night to avoid moisture. The exposure time takes about two to four weeks. This is the so-called natural method in the processing of green coffee beans.

The other, of course, is the washing method. It needs to roughly remove the peel and pulp, and then put the coffee seeds attached to the mucous membrane into the fermentation tank. After about one to one and a half days, the pectin mucous membrane will become very easy to clean. At this time, use plenty of water to remove the layer of mucous membrane and residual pulp.

The fifth step of the solar method is to remove the hardened outer layer and take off the outer shell of the seeds. In this way, even if it is completed.

The fifth step of the water washing method is to expose and dry the coffee beans for about one to three weeks. Finally shelling, all steps are completed.

There is of course a difference in flavor between the two. Lin has never drank it, so he naturally doesn't know which way Midi's coffee is suitable for. As for the sun exposure method and the washing method, the time required is similar. If we insist on the difference, the water washing method requires a lot of clean water, so it is difficult to carry out in some places where water resources are insufficient.

The development of the work is quite smooth. After all, it is something in the land, which is all too familiar to this group of people.

And various plans, including exposure field, treatment plant, fermentation tank, cleaning pool, etc., are also formed one by one under the arrangement of the strong men in the village.

For a while, apart from opening his mouth to guide Lin, he didn't provide any other assistance. In any case, he was an employer. This is not a war, you have to take the lead to boost morale. Carrying too much or doing too much may not be able to please others, but it will only increase the pressure on others.

And in terms of proficiency, I am definitely not as good as these people who have been in farming for a lifetime, so don't make trouble.

In the entire mountain forest, the coffee tree is only one of them, and it is a relatively large tree species. Because it is a wild plant, it has not been planned and cared for, and the yield of coffee fruit is definitely not as good as that of the coffee farms on the earth~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But Lin roughly calculated that this mountain forest can roughly have about 3,600 barrels of coffee Yield.

But that is the inferred data of the use of machine-assisted production on the earth. Considering that some parts of the mountain are not conducive to harvesting, it is the first time for the villagers here to do this kind of work besides being purely manual, and the process may not be smooth. So this output has to be discounted.

In the next month, during the homework, only Lin knew the complete process, and only he knew what he would get in the end. Although he didn't keep an eye on everyone's work, he still checked whether every step was appropriate at the invitation of the old man.

Many machines and equipment are not available in the Lost World, so I can only think of some alternative methods. When Lin made the request, he didn't force everyone to follow the method he said. Instead, he proposed some possible feasible solutions to discuss with everyone. Of course, someone can come up with a better solution, and it will be recognized by everyone after using it, and Lin does not hesitate to reward it.

The reward of one gold coin at a time has stimulated the enthusiasm of the villagers very well. It's not that there are no whimsical opinions, but Lin didn't offer any assistance, leaving it to the person who made the opinion to do it themselves.

With the ability of ordinary people, they can complete the work and get the approval of everyone. This kind of craftsmanship is what he needs. If everything needs to be done by the masters and solved with magic, doesn't that mean that I have to come every year, or hire other magicians to assist me in order to complete the harvesting and processing of coffee beans? This is putting the cart before the horse a bit.

It is in such an environment that the Midi version of the pulp separator and sheller came into being. Although it is very simple, it is already several times more efficient than manually processing such a large amount of coffee cherries.
