49. Ice American style that meets Zheng Xiujing's taste
Zheng Xiujing tried to calm herself down, and soon devoted herself to reciting the script.
It's just that..
The aroma of coffee, which does not emerge much, disturbs the girl's mind in all directions.
In this case, don't talk about memorizing the script. She doesn't necessarily see it.
The girl put down the script in her hand and once again turned her gaze to the man who was carefully handling coffee at the bar.
At this time, Jiang Zhihao was concentrating on the small stone mortar in his hand, and the muscles on his shoulders that were slightly bulging due to exertion also proved that the man had a very strong figure.
Crushing coffee beans is a lot of hard work.
Soon, Jiang Zhihao's face was covered with a layer of fine sweat.
Jiang Zhihao put down the stone mortar in his hand, picked up the towel on the side and wiped his forehead, and then subconsciously looked at the girl in front of him who was supposed to recite the script quietly.
It's just that Jiang Zhihao, who looked at the girl's beautiful big eyes, was stunned.
"Did it bother you?"
Crushing coffee beans is bound to make some noise, and Jiang Zhihao thought that his actions disturbed the girl in front of him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
"No, no. ”
Zheng Xiujing hurriedly waved her hand.
Although Jiang Zhihao's sound of crushing coffee beans didn't disturb her. But the scent did make it a little difficult for her to concentrate.
The girl simply decided to take a break for the time being, and then continue to be serious after Jiang Zhihao's improved cup of coffee was made.
"I just wanted to see how coffee is made. ”
"Is that so? Won't it bother you?"
"Inside, it's okay. ”
Hearing the guest's answer, Jiang Zhihao breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, he wouldn't stop Zheng Xiujing from watching the cooking process, nodded generously and continued to bury his head in processing coffee.
And Zheng Xiujing also held her chin and looked curiously at how busy Jiang Zhihao was in the bar.
Under Jiang Zhihao's vigorous movements, those coffee beans that could still be clearly seen to be clumped were quickly submerged into fine powder.
Then Jiang Zhihao filtered the coffee powder again and grinded it twice.
After repeating this three times, the original granular coffee beans are uniformly made into powder.
Before, the girl felt that the taste was not too soft, on the one hand, because the proportion of milk in the ratio Jiang Zhihao was lowered.
On the other hand, it is natural to come to the delicate question of coffee powder.
After all, the manual is not as delicate as the machine, and it is impossible to grind every small particle in all directions.
But the strange taste that comes out by hand is irreplaceable by machines.
What Jiang Zhihao has to do now is to maximize the taste of machine grinding by hand.
Well, crushing every coffee bean is a top priority.
This time, Jiang Zhihao still chose the drip filter type.
Place the ground coffee completely on top of a paper filter and an empty cup underneath.
Pour a layer of skim milk into it, then rinse the coffee powder on the filter paper with hot water.
Soon, a small pool of rich black coffee appeared on top of the filter, and this black coffee also slowly passed through the filter paper and dripped onto the skim milk in the cup.
Jiang Zhihao carefully observed every drop of coffee dripping in the cup.
Zheng Xiujing on the side stared at her curiously.
It's the first time she's seen coffee made like this.
After about five minutes, the skim milk in the cup began to merge with the filtered coffee, taking on a clear, dark brown color.
This brown color is not as deep as regular black coffee, but more like a puddle of clear water.
Zheng Xiujing can even see the beautiful pattern at the bottom of the cup.
Jiang Zhihao removed the filter paper and discarded the coffee residue directly.
Then simply add some creamer, stir it in one direction, and hand the cup of coffee to the girl under Zheng Xiujing's own eyes.
He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with a towel and curled the corners of his mouth at the admiring girl in front of him.
"Taste it. ”
"Inside!"
Zheng Xiujing couldn't wait for a long time, just by looking at it, she could feel the aroma of this cup of coffee from the inside out.
The girl picked up the cup a little nervously and asked Jiang Zhihao in front of her with her eyes.
Kang just smiled back.
The girl swallowed, brought the coffee cup to her lips, and took a small sip.
This was followed by a completely unconscious sound of admiration.
"Wow. ”
The taste of this cup of coffee is completely in line with Zheng Xiujing's most perfect imagination of a cup of Americano.
And the delicate and soft taste is beyond the girl's expectations.
She clutched the cup tightly, and the warm coffee warmed the girl's body in the air-conditioned room.
The girl took another sip, a heartfelt smile on her face.
And this beautiful smile made Jiang Zhihao, who saw him for the first time, stunned, and then quickly calmed down.
He really didn't expect that Zheng Xiujing, who looked cold in temperament, would smile so beautifully.
"How. ”
"Completely brittle!"
The girl had an excited smile on her face, and she did not hesitate to praise her heart.
And this praise is also the biggest reward for Jiang Zhihao, a barista.
Jiang Zhihao lowered his head embarrassedly and chuckled.
"Just to your taste. ”
"It's really delicious, it's arguably the best coffee I've ever had in my life!
The girl's slender index finger unconsciously rubbed the texture of the coffee cup, slightly distracted.
She was a little distressed, worried that after she joined the group for a while, she would not be able to come to the store to drink such delicious coffee.
may be really afraid, Zheng Xiujing looked at Jiang Zhihao's handsome face in front of her, and said in a ghostly manner: "This cup of coffee. . . Can I deliver it in the future?"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, she covered her mouth with regret, what nonsense was she talking about.
Jiang Zhihao in front of him was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't guess the girl's strange question.
Of course, his answer did not surprise Zheng Xiujing.
"Unfortunately, there is no delivery service in the store at this time. ”
"That's a shame. Huh? Not at the moment?"
Zheng Xiujing sighed, and looked down at the clear coffee in her hand regretfully.
But the girl caught on to a strange word.
"Does that mean it's possible in the future?"
Because she was really a little excited, Zheng Xiujing, who was originally steady, suddenly stood up and looked at Jiang Zhihao with some excitement.
The girl's sudden movement startled Jiang Zhihao, and he subconsciously took a step back and nodded.
In fact, he has been thinking about delivery services all along.
Artists are very busy after all, and it is somewhat regrettable if there are guests who want to drink coffee but can't be there.
So, Jiang Zhihao plans to make suggestions to his boss.
If there is a delivery service, will the service be more satisfying to the guests?
