Chapter 384: Coffee
"How do you know?" Ye Zheng said in surprise, but Xiao Qi just pursed his lips and smiled. Because the meaning of cappuccino is to wait with a faithful heart, without changing your heart, looking forward to the arrival of sweet love. The girl smiled, and then turned and sat down at a nearby table, a book in her hand, and looked through it carefully.
"I see. Ye Zheng was stunned. "Cappuccino. Xiao Qi took a sip of coffee and said, "One-third espresso, one-third steam milk, one-third foamy milk." The first sip is sweet and soft, and the second sip is a little bitter and mellow. The taste of milk and coffee beans is like a sweet and bitter dream. It's sad and intoxicating. Ye Zheng smiled and said, "It's rare that you can say so literary." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it makes the big writer laugh. Xiao Qi said: "What is the story you are talking about Irish coffee? I know what cappuccino means, but I don't know what Irish coffee means. Ye Zheng noticed that the girl who was reading the book also put down the book, looked at them curiously, and when she saw Ye Zheng looking over, the girl was a little embarrassed and said, "Excuse me?" I'm just curious about what Irish coffee represents. ”
Ye Zheng smiled: "It's okay, if you're curious, you can listen to this story together...... But you don't know the meaning of Irish coffee?" the girl shook her head: "No, no one has mentioned the meaning of Irish coffee. There aren't many people who drink Irish coffee on a regular basis. So today you ordered Irish coffee, and I was quite surprised. Actually, I prefer to drink Irish coffee, and I often make it myself. ”
"Well, since there is no story or meaning, then this story starts with me. Ye Zheng smiled: "You can treat this as a myth that doesn't exist." "Tell me quickly!" Xiao Qi said. Ye Zheng spoke: "Legend has it that the inventor of Irish coffee was a bartender at Dublin Airport, and he fell in love with a flight attendant who often came to the bar, so he hoped to meet her. However, every time the flight attendant came to the bar, she only drank coffee and did not drink alcohol. But the bartender is good at making cocktails. So, he came up with a solution......"
"Combine whiskey and coffee?" the girl seemed to understand. "Yes. Ye Zheng nodded: "Later, the flight attendant finally discovered this coffee and ordered it......" "It's a simple story, but it's okay." Xiao Qi said: "So, the meaning of Irish coffee is similar to that of cappuccino, long-awaited love, finally love, or what?" "This is not a romantic story, I haven't finished telling it yet." Ye Zheng said, "Do you know what is the difference between the first cup of Irish coffee?" "What?" the girl asked curiously.
"Don't be appetizing, speak quickly. Xiao Qi said. "Do you know how long it took from the bartender inventing Irish coffee to the time this stewardess ordered it? So when the bartender made coffee for her for the first time, she was excited and cried. Then afraid of being seen by her, the bartender wiped away his tears with his fingers and drew a circle on the mouth of the coffee cup......" Ye Zheng picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "So the first sip of Irish coffee, with the taste of fermentation after being suppressed for a long time." In addition, the story is not finished yet, so don't rush. ”
The bartender got acquainted with the stewardess, and the bartender taught her how to make Irish coffee. But one day the flight attendant told him that she was going back to her home in San Francisco and told the bartender Farewell. "Farewell?" "Goodbye, no goodbye." Ye Zheng sighed and said: "After the stewardess left, she wanted to drink Irish coffee, but she searched all the cafes and didn't find it, and later realized that the Irish coffee was specially made for her by the bartender." Later, flight attendants also opened cafes, and Irish coffee spread. "Is the story finished?" Xiao Qi asked.
"That's it. "What a beautiful and sad story. The girl's expression looked impressed: "So, what is the meaning of Irish coffee?" "I miss no one in this life...... the girl seemed to be tasting the meaning of this sentence, and Ye Zheng continued: "Actually, there is another story related to Irish coffee, but it is relatively long, so I won't tell it." The girl's face showed pity, and Xiao Qi said, "You must write it down when you have time." ”
"Yes. I posted it on the site in retrospect. Ye Zheng said with a smile. "In that case, I guess Irish coffee will be a big hit!" Xiao Qi smiled. "You write books?" the girl asked curiously. "Writing books is one of my professions. Ye Zheng said. "Oooh. The girl nodded, smiled again, and said, "You guys talk, I won't bother." Also, I love your story. Can I write this story down and print it out and frame it and hang it on the wall?"
"Absolutely. Ye Zheng smiled: "In addition, I suggest that you can frame another sentence next to it." That's perfect. ”
"What?" the girl asked curiously. “Castacoldeye,Onlife,onDeath,Horseman,passby。 Ye Zheng said. "A cold glance, life and death, riders on the road?" the girl translated. "That's pretty much it. Ye Zheng said: "But I prefer to translate it as ...... Cast a cold eye, look at life, look at death, knight, forward. "You must be a good writer. The girl's eyes flashed with praise: "I also like this sentence very much, and I will definitely record it...... Well, by the way, could you please write that down?"
Ye Zheng was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Okay." "Thank you!" The girl happily brought a piece of clean pink paper and a doodle pen, Ye Zheng asked as she wrote, "You opened this coffee shop?" "That's right! I opened this coffee shop without going to college after graduating from high school." The girl said, "By the way, my name is Gu Yuerong." "My surname is Ye. Ye Zheng said. "Mr. Ye. Gu Yuerong put away the pen and paper, and said gratefully: "Thank you." And, actually, I'm kind of a book writer. ”
"Oh?" "Do you know about Longfeng Network?" Gu Yuerong asked, "I'll be serialized on that website." Ye Zheng and Xiao Qi both laughed, Ye Zheng said: "I know, how are yours? The girl said, "You also write a book on Longfeng Chinese Network?"
"Hmm. "What is the name of the book you wrote?" Gu Yuerong said excitedly: "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet someone who wrote a book on the same website here, it's really fate!" "The book I wrote is kept secret. Ye Zheng said with a smile. "Is it because of bad grades?" Gu Yuerong said: "It's okay, my grades are not good, have you signed a contract and put it on the shelf?"
"The contract is on the shelves, and there are already 500,000 words. Ye Zheng said that since the opening of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he has basically maintained an update of about 10,000 words per day, and has updated 500,000 words so far. "Step by Step" has also been updated with about 100,000 words, but Jiaojiao has to study and go to school after all, and her daily time is limited, and it is impossible to carry it directly from her brain like Ye Zheng. Therefore, the daily update speed is only two or three thousand words, which makes many readers cry out. However, the plot of "Step by Step" has gradually unfolded, and many readers have said that it looks good, and readers who are faithful about the situation also know that Jiaojiao is still a high school student, so they are also complaining while understanding and looking forward to it.
So Ye Zheng smiled and asked: "Over there on the girls' network, there is a new book called "Step by Step", do you know?" "Of course I know!" Ye Zheng made an outline, and his cousin wrote a book, which one doesn't know about this on the Internet, authors and bookworms?" Gu Yuerong smiled: "I'm also chasing that book, but its update speed is a little slower, and it's on par with mine." But the quality of the content and the grades are certainly much better than my book. Why, are you reading that book too?
