Seoul, formerly known as Seoul, is the capital of South Korea and plays an important role in Asia and the world.

South Korea derives 21% of its GDP from the city of Seoul, and of course, behind this impressive statistic, South Korea is too small.

Okay, let's talk about these, the things that everyone can get thousands of times are not here, it's just where the story happens.

No one knows what coffee means to Koreans, just as no one knows why they are obsessed with kimchi.

There are many cafes on the streets of Seoul, and many young people have a lifelong dream of opening their own coffee shop in Seoul.

Especially after the hit TV series "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", this situation is more obvious than ever.

Even many celebrities have opened cafes or barbecue restaurants as their side businesses. For example, the famous South Korean comedy artist Kang Hudong runs his own barbecue restaurant "Kang Hudong 678".

On the streets of Seoul, coffee shops open every day, and similarly, coffee shops close every day.

"Star Coffee", Star Coffee is a newly opened coffee shop some time ago, and the store is not very large.

Originally, this was a small bookstore, and the owner was old and wanted to go back to the countryside to retire, so he sold the bookstore.

As for where the countryside is, who knows? Anyway, in South Korea, except for Seoul, it can be called a countryside.

After the owner took down the bookstore, he renovated it and renovated it into a café.

Perhaps because the bookstore is so old, there is a special temperament in the store that can slow people down, which is completely opposite to the busy pace outside.

And this unique temperament has also been inherited from this coffee shop.

The shop is not big and there are not many customers, but because of this unique temperament, this coffee shop quickly has a group of loyal customers.

Whether it's at noon or in the evening, after busy work, I like to come here to order a cup of coffee and turn a few pages. Enjoy this rare tranquility.

The owner of the coffee shop is a Chinese person, and he doesn't look very old. Some of them have long broken hair, a well-trimmed beard, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, which looks like a mature uncle, but gives people a very young feeling.

Mature, young, these two contradictory words are placed on him, and there is a fascinating look.

Without the standard uniform of other coffee shops, the eternal shirt and trousers, he is less like a store manager and more like a professional elite.

Because there are not many customers, when there are no people, the store manager will often make a cup of coffee by himself, and then sit in front of the window and watch the pedestrians outside. A quiet person, looking at this busy world.

There is always a book in front of the store manager, always on that page, and if you look closely, you will see that the book manager has never looked at it, and just put it there.

"Ding Ding Ding", at this time, the door of the store opened, the wind blew in, and the wind chimes made a pleasant sound. The manager looked up, and two fashionably dressed young women walked in.

In addition to those old customers, there will naturally be some passing guests who come in to order a cup of coffee and take a break. Store managers refer to them as individual customers.

These two are individual customers, because the store manager does not have the slightest sense of familiarity when he sees them.

Since ancient times, plastic surgery in South Korea is one of the four major evil arts in Asia, and most of the chief surgeons are Dr. Lee or Dr. Kim, and they all come out with an assembly-line-like face.

But as far as the store manager has been observing for so long, there really aren't many faces that resemble too high. The content on the Internet is still somewhat exaggerated.

Seeing a customer coming in, the manager closed the book in front of him, put it in the corner of the table, picked up the coffee, walked back to the bar and said, "Do you want something to drink?"

When the two young women saw the manager, they smiled and nodded, and then looked at the coffee list.

The store manager also smiled, not in a hurry, took a small sip of coffee, and waited for them to order.

The two girls looked at the coffee name on the coffee list, discussed it in a whisper, and quickly settled down, saying, "We want a cup of mocha and a cup of American, thank you." ”

The manager put down the coffee cup and said, "Okay, please sit down for a while, wait a while." Then he started preparing coffee for the two girls.

Maybe it's because of some hands, so the manager's hand movements are not very fast, but this seems to be more in line with the temperament of this store.

The two girls didn't find a table to sit down, but sat directly at the bar, and didn't urge the store manager to hurry up, just watched the store manager operate.

After a while, the store manager brought two cups of coffee and put them in front of the two girls, and said, "Your mocha and American, please enjoy it slowly." ”

The two girls said "thank you" to express their gratitude, and then each took the coffee and drank it in small sips.

Because it was my first time here, I looked around at the furnishings of the store and whispered something from time to time. The manager didn't bother to listen, so he didn't know what they were saying, but he could hear two coquettish laughs from time to time.

The two girls were still whispering something, when the store manager brought a plate and pushed it in front of the two girls.

The two girls looked at the store manager a little strangely, and the store manager smiled and said, "Tiramisu, dessert for the two of you." ”

The two girls looked at the tiramisu in front of them, and a few words were written on it in white chocolate, "Every day is beautiful".

The two girls smiled and said, "Thank you, then let's enjoy it." The manager raised his glass for a moment, then sat there and took out another book, still open in front of him, and looked out the door.

After a while, the two girls got up, walked over, handed a bill to the store manager, and said, "Store manager, thank you for the coffee and dessert, it tastes good." Thank you. ”

The store manager took the money and said, "You're welcome, welcome to come back next time." ”

"Ding Ding Ding", this is the sound of the wind chimes as they leave, as if to say goodbye.

The store manager was the only one who poured the unfinished coffee into the sink and rinsed it with water. Then I boiled another cup and refilled.

Business this afternoon was not very good, only two customers came before, and no customers came in since.

However, the store manager was not in a hurry, as if the quality of business did not make any difference to him. When the time was about to come, the store manager began to get busy, preparing coffee beans and grinding coffee powder.

Because it's almost time to get off work, and that's the busiest time in the store. Many regular customers like to come here for a cup of coffee after work in the evening.

If you don't prepare in advance, the store manager will be too late to do it alone.
