"Raymond, sit. You're welcome, let's have a good chat. ”

Now Comrade Liu is very enthusiastic, and he finds that he may have misunderstood Raymond.

Raymond didn't have any idea at all, anyway, the eyes that looked at Lao Liu were always pitiful.

"Raymond, I see that your coffee brewing technique is very beautiful. Which coffee shop are you the barista?" asked Lao Liu with a smile.

Raymond shook his head, "I'm not a barista at a coffee shop, I'm my own barista. I just make coffee at home, and my family doesn't want me to make coffee for someone else. ”

Lao Liu was a little blindsided when he heard it, and then he thought that it might be because Raymond had some problems with his head, and his family was afraid that he would make all kinds of situations outside.

"Raymond, why do you want to be a barista?" asked Liu Wenrui.

"I'm going to make the best coffee to taste. Raymond said excitedly.

"Each coffee bean has the characteristics of each coffee bean, different roasting degrees, different grind levels, different water quality and water temperature, all of which will affect the taste of the coffee. ”

"I've been experimenting with different coffee beans for years, but the beans have changed so little that I'm not satisfied. These coffee beans of yours are special and allow me to experiment differently. It's just that the quantity I can buy is too small, and it's not enough for me at all. ”

"Raymond, I take the liberty of asking, is your thinking ability normal, that is, can you decide what you do and take responsibility for what you do?" asked Lao Liu.

Raymond was stunned for a moment, but still nodded, "Of course it's okay, I'm normal." ”

"That means you've been too obsessed with coffee in the past, so you rarely pay attention to other things, right?" asked Lao Liu again.

Raymond nodded.

"Raymond, I actually think your philosophy is wrong. Liu Wenrui said seriously.

Raymond frowned, "Why?"

"It's very simple, there can be no perfect thing in this world, only relative expressions. Liu Wenrui shrugged his shoulders.

"Everyone's taste is different, how can you be sure that the perfect coffee you brew is the one that this person likes? Just like the cup you brewed just now, maybe many people will feel very fragrant when you drink it, but I think it is a little less bitter. ”

"The reason why you're so obsessed with these beans of mine is because of the variety of flavors that come with them. That's why you feel confident that you can really brew the perfect cup of coffee. ”

"But I'll tell you that it's simply not possible. Even if my coffee beans are special, they can't be perfect. You're just obsessed with brewing coffee, so it's a bit of a bit of a. Maybe it's because of this, so your family doesn't understand what you do. ”

"In that case, even if you are given a ton of coffee beans, it will be a waste. It's better to sell those beans to real baristas who incorporate their creativity and know-how, and maybe achieve some surprising results. ”

"Just like wine, there is no such thing as the best wine, only the people who like it the most. The same is true of coffee, whether it is the Blue Mountains or Geisha, it has its own taste. Whichever one has a larger audience, the more famous it will be. But that doesn't mean it's really the number one coffee bean. ”

"I understand what you're saying, but I'm just trying to find the best way to brew a cup of coffee that everyone will love. Raymond said persistently.

Lao Liu is a little helpless, Raymond should be the kind of technical idiot, the kind of person who knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the tiger mountains.

"Raymond, I know a lot about my coffee beans. But I don't think it's possible to achieve the goal you have in mind. Liu Wenrui felt that he should still be persuaded to persuade him.

"I've also met baristas who have won international competitions, don't they really have the skills? They don't dare to say that they can brew a perfect cup of coffee, are you really confident that you can surpass them?

"I'm medium rare or medium rare. Raymond said after a moment's pause.

Lao Liu shrugged his shoulders, "This lady and I both like to eat medium-rare food." Steak and coffee, are they the same? There is no perfect steak, and there is no perfect coffee. It's very simple. ”

After finishing speaking, Lao Liu sat directly in the chair, and felt that it was really self-inflicted to debate with such a sharp person. But he couldn't help it, he wanted to fool Raymond over.

Such a person is actually easy to fool, and there are not so many messy things.

Wang Shasha on the side thought it was quite cola, but what she didn't expect was that Raymond really thought about it seriously. What kind of trouble is this? Aren't you very determined? Why does a steak make you turn a corner?

In fact, if you want to say that this reason is very complicated, that is, it is very complicated. What if it was simple? It would be very simple.

People like Raymond who have studied hard are already close to a state of madness and madness, and many times when you persuade him, he can't hear it in his heart.

But what about Comrade Liu? His status in his heart is still a little different. Because Lao Liu has coffee beans here, what he wants to miss now is to buy some coffee beans from Lao Liu. Then he heard Lao Liu's words in his heart.

"Simon, you have a point, but I think I still have to do my best to brew a cup of coffee that will satisfy more people's preferences. ”

After thinking for a while, Raymond said seriously.

Lao Liu nodded, this can be regarded as a concession, right? At least this goal is still possible to achieve. I don't know why, he feels and honored, Raymond is very face-saving.

"Raymond, do you want your family to taste the coffee you brew?" asked Lao Liu curiously.

"At first, they still drank it, but then they drank too much and stopped drinking, and I was tasting it myself. Raymond said naturally.

Lao Liu rolled his eyes, even if he admitted that Raymond did have some level of brewing coffee. But isn't he too foolish with such a certification method?

"Well, I'll give you a chance to achieve your goal. Lao Liu deliberately pondered for a while and said softly.

"Mr. Simon, are you going to sell me coffee beans?" Raymond suddenly came to his senses.

Lao Liu smiled and shook his head, "No, no, no, my coffee beans will still be sent to cafes in my country for use." You can come to my café in Huaxia to work, I will provide you with all the coffee beans, and it will also solve your living problems. ”

"It's a little farther away from the U.S., and you may not be able to go home often. But there will be a lot of customers who will be your target and who will be able to give you the most honest feedback. ”

Wang Shasha glanced at Lao Liu with a strange face, is it really good to fool people like this?

"Simon, do you want me to work for you?" Raymond asked, looking at Lao Liu.

Lao Liu nodded without a little embarrassment, "That's it, it can solve my problem, and it can also solve your problem." You can use my coffee beans to realize your ideas, and you can also help me cultivate some people who understand coffee. ”

"In the future, you can also go to the competition to show your ideas and skills, so that more people can understand you. I don't think any other café will agree to some of your additional requests, right?"

Raymond nodded awkwardly, it was. Those cafes are for profit, not for experimentation. Many times, when you are thinking about problems, it is difficult to take care of customers.

"We're working together, and if you want more people to recognize your ideas in the future, you're going to show them at the competition, right?" Liu Wenrui continued.

Of course, he knows that it is not possible to rely on fooling, but he will not give up on this kind of barista sent to the door. People change, and now Raymond has been studying the art of brewing coffee in his own home, and that's because he has no contact with the outside world.

If you provide him with a good environment, these concepts will slowly change. When the time comes, he will also have a barista, and he will be able to brew coffee with peace of mind, which is a win-win situation for both parties.

"Mr. Simon, I still have to think about it. Huaxia is really too far away. Raymond thought for a moment and said.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, my café is also in the renovation stage, and there is no official advertisement for baristas yet. Lao Liu said with a smile.

"But I can give you a pound of green coffee beans as a little gift from our acquaintance. I think it's very easy to talk to you, and I like your personality more. Without such perseverance and perseverance, it is difficult to achieve certain achievements in a certain field. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Simon, where are the coffee beans?" asked Raymond, his eyes lit up.

Lao Liu was a little helpless, so he had to go to the warehouse and fill a bag of coffee beans. I didn't weigh it, but I guess I had a pound.

"Thank you, Mr. Simon, what is your account number, I transferred it to you. Raymond said happily.

"Forget it, I said it was a greeting gift, so I won't ask for your money. Liu Wenrui said indifferently.

"Actually, if I didn't have to train my own team of baristas, it would be okay to give you some coffee beans. Let's wait and see how much we can pick this season. Also look at the coffee shops in our country, how many of these coffee beans are needed. ”

"Thank you again, Mr. Simon, and I'll leave first. Raymond said.

made Lao Liu stunned, is this person too ignorant of human feelings?

But there is no way, at most it is a loss of a pound of coffee beans. Smiled and nodded, Raymond could go if he wanted.
