Chapter Seventy-Nine: Coffee in Ireland

Two days later, when the doctor told me that there was a drama on my trip to Ireland, he said that I would be interviewed, and I gladly agreed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Dr. Fan made an appointment at the café across the street from the medical school, and when I got to the appointment, I always liked to arrive early and sit in a high chair by the window, which looked out of the door of the medical school. The students were in groups of three or five, frolicking and talking, and the afterglow of the evening sun fell on their young faces, and everyone was very energetic. I haven't been able to see this kind of picture lately, and I don't remember the story of my age, and the taste of the past is enough to make me have a lot of dark circles under my eyes the next day. After looking at it for a long time, I found that the school gate of the medical school was built in a particularly chic way, some ancient, some European, and some old, but this old revealed not the dilapidation but the fullness of knowledge and culture after the years.

"Early?" Dr. Fan's greeting pulled my mind back to reality. All the doctors I've seen in private clothes are dressed in formal clothes, and he still looks like a doctor at a glance when he takes off his white coat, but today he is dressed very casually, and he looks different from before.

"Wow~~" I spread my hands and sighed, "Doctor Fan's medical products are good." ”

He glanced at himself suspiciously, "What do you say?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I rarely see you in private, and in retrospect, we really didn't have any personal relationships. "I suddenly felt that it was a bit out of place to make such an exclamation, and it was a little abrupt.

"Indeed, you still call me Doctor Fan, and it feels like you're working all the time. He smiled generously, "Just call me Fan Fan, ah~~ Let's take a look and drink."

We each ordered a cup of coffee and talked about things as we drank it. Before returning to China, Fan Fan had followed an expert professor from the Vascular Center of Dublin City Hospital to do a project, but the progress of the project was not particularly smooth, but Fan Fan had returned to China. The professor is also a highly respected faculty member at UCD Faculty of Medicine, with a strong reputation in academia and industry. Our city and Dublin are sister cities, and every year there are platforms and opportunities for exchanges in multiple industries, including the medical and education systems. Fan Fan contacted the government's foreign exchange department to determine that there are still exchange places this year, and in order to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the friendly exchanges between the two cities, the exchange has been expanded to 15 industries, and the time has been extended to two years. Fan Fan quickly contacted his teacher at Dublin Hospital, and the other party was very surprised that he was willing to come back to continue the previous project, and immediately recommended and contacted him, and I was probably the exchange person that Fan Fan brought to him.

"Wen Tong, in addition, I also consulted if I could take the child out with me. Fan Fan's proposal was a little cautious, but it seemed necessary.

Indeed, this is also a question I want to ask, what will I do when I am gone.

"My colleague told me that the expenses and living allowance are only for individuals, and if you want to take your children out with you, you may have to pay for the expenses yourself. "Fan Fan is quite reasonable, but what I'm worried about is not the cost, but Tu Tu has finally adapted to a new environment, whether he should be allowed to go out and toss again.

"I see, I'll go back and think about it, and I'll give you an answer. "I thought I should go back and ask the kids for their opinions.

"You don't have to give me an answer, it's your decision alone, but in any case, you'd better not let this matter become a burden to you, otherwise there will be no point in us leaving this time. He paused, then said, "Also, no matter what you decide, I will stand behind you and support you." ”

I raised my eyes to look at him, how did this sound a little familiar, how this feeling of swearing was a little familiar, in this approaching winter season, inexplicably between the two of them rose a little temperature. I don't know if there is tenderness in my eyes when I look at him, whether there is a past like smoke, but the thoughts in my heart that I want to float to who are you going were immediately interrupted by me, don't think about it.

"Do you know the story of this Irish coffee?" Fan Fan lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, probably wanting to change his aura.

"Hmm, is this called Irish coffee? The taste is a little different from other coffees, but I don't know much about coffee, hehe~" I also lowered my head and pretended to take a sip.

"Once upon a time in Ireland there was a pair of childhood sweethearts who admired each other, the boy was a bartender and the girl was a stewardess, and the boy once played with his father's coffee machine, mixed coffee beans, sugar, and cream with a little whiskey, and made a cup of coffee, which was named Irish coffee. Their respective mothers don't like each other, the boy's mother accidentally injured the girl's mother once, and the two families have a lot of trouble, but the two of them are still together despite the opposition. The girl's mother fell ill and drank heavily, and died within a few years. Later, the girl immigrated to the United States with her father, and the two lost contact. Fan Fan looked at the gradually lit night outside the window and told the story.

"But the boy married another girl, and the girl married a gentleman. I laugh, that's how most stories develop.

Later, the two met unexpectedly in the bartender's bar, and the bartender vaguely felt that the girl opposite was very much like his beloved, so he made the original coffee with whiskey from memory, hoping that the girl could recognize him again after drinking, the girl suffered from the relationship between the two families, and did not dare to recognize the bartender, and was unwilling to order this coffee. The two came and went, pushing and shoving for more than a year, and finally couldn't resist the power of love, and came back together, and the girl finally drank this special coffee for her again. Later, the two left Ireland together and went to the United States, opened a café, sold this Irish coffee, coupled with the touching love story of the two of them, Irish coffee became popular in the United States at once, and then it was transferred to Ireland and came to our hands. ”

"No wonder there is a vague taste other than coffee, it turns out to be alcohol. "But is this love story ever in the United States or Ireland?" I wondered.

"That's not the point. Fan Fan drank it all in one gulp, put the cup on the table, put his hands around his chest, and leaned back.

"Doctor Nafan is going to advise, what kind of class are you telling me this moving legend?" I thought at first that he was telling me the story of Irish coffee in order to increase my interest and understanding of Ireland, but now it seems that there is something else to it.

"The fulfillment of many things, especially feelings, can not be in a hurry, nor can it be too natural, the other party who truly loves each other will eventually go around and meet again, but meeting is only the beginning of being together, and it is still necessary to strive and pay. "Fan Fan looked at me as if he was preaching, but I didn't know what he meant.

"Huh?" what does he mean?

Fan Fan smiled and said nothing, and after a while, he sighed inexplicably, "Irish coffee is the coffee of love, and there is love to have a future." ”
