Chapter 58: Marks on Coffee Cups
"OK!" With a stop, Douce put down the coffee cup in his hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's so good, I feel so warm and crispy when I look at it. I believe that this advertisement will definitely bring a lot of customers to my store. The proprietor was a woman in her early thirties, dressed in a splendid gown, with curly brown hair hanging high on the back of her head. I was already fascinated by Du Ke's performance just now.
Du Ke slowly stood up from his chair, but his eyes were staring straight in the direction of Xia Xu without moving.
"Xiao Ke, talk to the camera, how do you feel about the cup of coffee you drank just now? This is the signature coffee in this store. ”
"Oh...... The taste and texture are quite good. Du Ke recalled the taste of coffee in his mouth just now, and unconsciously glanced at the door again, "It is indeed very different from the old coffee before, and the wonderful taste in it is indescribable." Remember, come and feel it with me. After speaking, he didn't forget to bend the corners of his mouth and make a cool gesture to the camera.
Everyone was very satisfied with the recording. It's just that Du Ke inexplicably felt that the mellow aroma of that cup of coffee, the sweetness that was originally floating in his heart, but at this moment there was a very unhappy bitterness. Especially when he saw Xue Ziyang and Xia Xu by the door.
"Boss, can I give you a brief visit?" Du Ke asked the shopkeeper, taking his gaze back from the door.
Xiaohui wondered how Du Ke, who was not usually a coffee drinker, could be curious about this coffee shop. But looking at the anticipation on his face, he didn't say anything. Anyway, there are no important arrangements for the future.
"Absolutely. In the future, I hope that a few people can come to our store more often. Ha ha. The owner was very happy.
Du Ke pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at Xia Xu and Xue Ziyang, who were drinking coffee, with a sword in his eyes, and walked towards the coffee workshop in the background.
"Our coffee here is freshly ground and freshly made. Every process is very exquisite. The shopkeeper explained with a smile on his face while taking them around the neat equipment.
Du Ke looked around, a smile rising at the corner of his mouth. "Can I try it?" asked.
As soon as he heard that Doke wanted to try it, the shopkeeper brought him gloves and a mask, and then took him to the workbench and taught him how to use equipment such as coffee beans and grinders. As well as some different flavors of toppings.
The camera didn't stop for a moment, and soon a glass of Doucle's "masterpiece" was finished.
The owner of the shop called this cup of coffee "Caramel Warm" in the future, and planned to be the second recommended sample in the store. The reason why it is called "caramel" is because Dook adds a lot of caramel to it and other ingredients, saying that he likes sweet.
When the coffee is ready, it naturally needs to be tasted, and a few people such as Xiaohui and the photographer are trying to make coffee on the other side, and they are very happy. The shopkeeper didn't beckon them to come and try Du Ke's cup of "Caramel Warm".
"I'd like to give this cup to one of our customers today to taste. The corners of Doucle's mouth were curved, and the warm smile looked as sweet as this cup of coffee.
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, and brought him a plate and a clean coffee spoon.
Then, he walked out of the backstage production room with Du Ke.
Du Ke personally held the coffee on a tray, very like a café waiter, but his handsome face and tall posture made people salivate more about him than for that cup of coffee.
From what he said just now, Xue Ziyang understood that Xia Xu's purpose in calling him here was to hope that he could reconcile with Lin Jiajia. However, do the real feelings in his heart really have to be swallowed in his stomach like this?
Seeing that Xue Ziyang had been stirring the coffee with a coffee spoon, he was thoughtful. Xia Xu didn't know if he had listened to what he had just said.
After thinking about it, he slowly asked, "Ziyang, that gift was what you wanted to give me after reading my book, right?"
Xue Ziyang straightened up after hearing this, put down the coffee spoon, and replied: "Well, I casually flipped through a few pages at that time, and I just happened to see the one you wrote, to be honest, you wrote very well." ”
Xia Xu lowered his head shyly, thinking that Xue Ziyang had really read the contents of that book, and really didn't remember that book, so he asked again, "So, that day in the hospital, it was the poem that you said was written by a child, and you ...... it" Xia Xu paused, bit his lip and continued to ask: "I see that you seem to be very unhappy when you mention that child." Why? Do you remember about her?"
After Xia Xu finished speaking, she stared at Xue Ziyang, looking forward to his answer, which was the thing she had always wondered the most.
If Xue Ziyang still remembers himself at that time, although he remembers or doesn't remember, maybe it is indeed different for him and for Xia Xu, and it is meaningless.
But why was he so unhappy at the time, as if there was something in this that Xia Xu didn't know. Maybe the reason why he disappeared with the manuscript of the poem must be in this.
Being asked by Xia Xu like this, Xue Ziyang's face became a little ugly, and the sadness in his eyes became even stronger. He doesn't like to think about it. Seeing Xia Su's expectant and innocent eyes, Xue Ziyang hesitated, and finally sighed.
"When I was a teenager...... That day, I and ......" just said this, and Xia Xu listened to it with full attention on the other side.
Suddenly, a cup of coffee appeared in front of the two of them.
Xia Xu was taken aback, "I'm sorry, we didn't order ......" I thought it was the waiter who sent it to the wrong place, but when I looked up, I saw that the person standing on the side turned out to be Du Ke.
"Good afternoon. Both!" Duke chuckled.
Xue Ziyang was a little displeased and didn't say anything.
"This is what I made, do you want to try it?" Du Ke put the coffee in front of Xia Xu with a smile on his face.
Xia Xu was a little helpless for a while, why did she appear at such a critical moment?
Frowning, he was about to say no. But I saw that the shopkeeper who was following me was signaling with a smile on his face, "This is Du Ke just ready, ready to be launched as a new product of our store, called 'Caramel Nuanke'." This young lady was so lucky to be the first to taste it".
After hearing that Du Ke did it himself, Xia Xu hesitated, smiled awkwardly at the shopkeeper, and reluctantly took a sip.
As soon as the coffee was eaten, Xia Xu's face instantly stiffened, and it was really "caramel warm", the taste of caramel really didn't want to taste the second sip in my life.
"How's that?" asked Du Ke impatiently.
"Well, it's ...... It's very sweet......" Xia Xu swallowed hard.
If this is really launched as a new product, won't this store be closed soon?
At this time, the mobile phone rang, it was Sen Sen calling, saying that the meal had been prepared, and it was strange when Xia Xu went out and couldn't come back to eat.
After Xia Xu hung up the phone, he said to Xue Ziyang: "It's my cousin's phone, Ziyang, I'm embarrassed to ask you out at noon." I'm going home. After speaking, he said to Du Ke, "Thank you for the coffee...... picked up his bag, got up and was about to go out.
"You're welcome. Du Kemu replied with a smile. After speaking, he added, "Why don't I send you home?"
Xia Xu put the bag strap on his shoulder. "No, thank you, the ......," he paused, glancing at his coffee, "I think it would be better for you to taste it yourself." With that, he pursed his lips and walked out of the café.
After hearing this, Du Ke glanced at the cup of coffee strangely.
Seeing that Xia Xu had already gone away, he was a little frustrated. Go back and ask the shop owner to help call the agent Xiaohui.
Xue Ziyang carried the gift that Xia Xu gave him, and also stood up and prepared to leave. Seeing Du Ke slowly sat down in Xia Xu's position just now.
The figure who had already left his seat suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Du Ke: "You...... Do you like Xia Su?"
Du Ke was not at all surprised.
At this time, Xiaohui ran over. When he saw that it was Xue Ziyang, he said hello with a smile because he had seen it in the hospital.
Xue Ziyang slowly turned around and walked out of the café with the gift.
For half a day, Xiaohui and the others went to the shop owner to get a special coffee gift.
Only Du Ke sat there stunned, staring at the cup of "Caramel Nuanke" made by himself......
Xue Ziyang's words made the tension on his face and heart not fade.
I could have replied to him very seriously, "I'm not interested in her." But at this moment, Du Ke realized that he couldn't say this sentence at all.
It's like a secret that has been hidden in the bottom of my heart, and suddenly I was caught off guard and was directly disclosed to the world.
Doucle pursed his lips, feeling something rattle in his chest.
I seem to really like her.
When did it start?
He didn't know.
Du Ke tilted his head and stared at the colorful lights on the roof of the shed.
Suddenly, I remembered Xia Xu's words before leaving...... He glanced down at the cup of coffee he had made. He picked up the cup and was about to take a bite when suddenly, the pale pink lipstick mark on the rim of the cup made his hand stop.
This is Xia Xu's?
In an instant, I only felt that my face was hot for a while, and I should have put it down or changed directions, but for some reason, the hand holding the cup stuck to it as if it had been enchanted......
Du Ke swallowed, his eyes staring at the cup of coffee, and the slightly trembling cup slowly approached his lips with the rise and fall in his chest......
When it coincided with the feeling of being a little oily, Du Ke's face had completely fallen into the chili sauce.
With a gentle sip, the thick and silky texture of the coffee instantly fills the entire mouth.
It's just that Du Ke's first reaction is not the taste of this coffee, but always feels that there is a slight peach smell on his lower lip, is that the taste of Xia Xu lipstick?
Although it was already very light and light, it was impossible for it to get on Doucle's lips.
But he just felt that there was something up there. I couldn't help but touch my finger lightly on my lips......
It seems that Xia Xu's lip temperature has been staying in the shallow trace on the wall of the cup, and at this moment it has all passed to his lip flap...... Just thinking about it.
Xiao Hui walked over with a stack of things, and when she saw that his face was crimson, she couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you doing?
Du Ke was startled, came back to his senses, put the coffee cup on the table, and was embarrassed to swallow the coffee in his mouth and get up to leave. Only then did I realize the taste of coffee in my mouth, "Damn!" and spit directly on the ground.
Xiao Hui looked at him in surprise, it turned out that the coffee was already in his mouth, and this reflex arc was really long enough. Puzzled, he looked at Du Ke, who was a little abnormal today.
Doucle frowned, how could it taste like this? It's super unpalatable.
At that time, it seemed that there was too much caramel with ingredients. Du Ke embarrassedly leaned over and pulled out a napkin from the table and wiped the corner of his mouth.
The expression that Xia Xu was about to refuse at that moment but drank it after hearing that he had made it himself, "How did she swallow it?" muttered in his heart.
Thinking about it, a warm smile rose on his lips.
