Text: A Beautiful Place (2) In the nest of the "flying birds".
From time to time, coffee beans and coconut flour will be sent to the coffee library to teach some new ways to make black tea and coffee. This time, Spike was pouring some rum into the heated tall glass, and a blue flame jumped out of the bind of the glass with the flip of Spike's right hand, and fluttered outside.
Standing under the warm yellow bar lamp, Suixu focused on following the swaying blue light in the cup, and the girl's unique misty black eyes seemed to be filled with the night seascape. The top light poured down, evenly sprinkled on Suixu's long, slightly curly black hair, but carved a soft shadow on the side of the nose on the face.
One side is in light and the other side is in shade. Under the long eyelashes, the slightly slender dark eyes with single eyelids seem to be constantly chasing dreams.
The cloth watched as she expertly poured in the freshly brewed iced coffee, then poured some milk along the walls of the cup. Milk, which is denser than coffee, quickly sinks to the bottom of the coffee.
"Drink with a straw, you can drink layers of different heat, caramel sweet, spicy wine, mild milk, coffee sour, hot and cold, Sister Xiao Qiao named Flaming Red Lips in order to attract customers, in fact, it is cocktail coffee. Suixu kept talking in a soft and crisp tone, and for some reason, it seemed as if she heard the chirping of larks through the early morning sky, and the cloth ended with this because the heat wilted in the morning driving back and forth to Fukuyama to check the progress of the new store.
The coffee blend known as "Flaming Red Lips" on the wine list is called "Rooster Tail Coffee" by Suixu and has won the heart of the cloth. Unlike ordinary people who are obsessed with and agree with people who use self-righteous and misunderstood literary and artistic fabrications to create illusions, they are all naïve, straightforward, and straight to the truth, which is the difference between Suixu and ordinary peers. Straight to the true transparency, the cloth reminds the flavor of the sun and wind on the island in autumn. The pursuit of authenticity is an obsession left by Bu Shang's many years in the media industry.
"Sister Xiao Qiao is going to sing today, and she will come to the store at about ten o'clock in the evening. ”
"Singing again? If you don't focus on running the store and always take care of your hobbies, you can't do well. ”
Passing through the couch corridor separated by tropical anchovies and bamboo, through the northwest window, the view looks beyond the Wanlv Garden to the sea in the distance, where several tall wooden boats are moored in the blue sea, obscuring the empty horizon beyond. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, the sea fog had already dissipated, and the summer heat wave had not yet officially arrived, except for the moist white noise in the air, and the sea was silent.
Because he could see the sea in the direction of Wanlv Park, Xiao Qiao insisted on choosing the 29th floor as the location of the coffee library. The building isn't a landmark, and not many people want to climb up to the 29th floor for a cup of coffee or a book. Business is cold, and Joe needs to rely on the money he earns to sing in the bar to keep the library afloat.
Suixu is hired to take care of the day-to-day affairs of the store, cleaning, making tea or coffee, making a small number of desserts, and working as a librarian. Occasionally, when the two of them ate alone, Bu Shang would talk about the reason why Little Joe's coffee library business was bound to be bleak.
However, if you only use dreams to compile them, and ignore the constraints of the environment, and do not put in the corresponding dedicated efforts, it is only a matter of time before the dreams are finally shattered, especially in the beautiful things that are made up of fantasies.
In other words, everything itself is empty from beginning to end, from the inside out, just a sign that people in the world are bored, hopeless, and unself-consciously trying to find something to comfort themselves and comfort each other. Therefore, the beautiful things that are partial to the consciousness will always be shattered. These are the words that often hover in the back of the cloth in the mind, unable to speak to the vulnerable, always expecting comfort.
In the eyes of the cloth, the coffee library on the 29th floor belongs to this list. The 30-year-old Xiao Qiao, who is full of literary and artistic thoughts, traveled all over Yunnan to investigate such coffee and youth hostel places for rest, gossip and thoughts, and returned to Haikou to decorate the coffee library with the cloth art and other devices collected in Lijiang, and at the same time went to the coffee research place to learn the classification, temperament and production of coffee, and opened this shop, named "Flying Bird".
In addition to the various books and wine standing against the wall, long and short rough wooden tables are placed in the hall. Surrounded by sofas, green plants and flowers are separated from bookshelves. The tambourine and guitar are placed on the square square round stage on the right hand side of the door, and the warm light is shining, and there is a white piano on which she studied with full enthusiasm for a year before her enthusiasm fades and then abandons it.
Little Joe uses his dreams and passions to call his fellow citizens together. On the island, a place nicknamed the "cultural desert", people may expect such a place of pure literature and art, but it is not feasible to make the store run smoothly by echoing the recognition, yearning and admiration of some people for literature and art.
But Xiao Qiao insisted that as long as it existed, the dream of facing the sea and the spring flowers was still intact. Rely on yourself to sing in the bar all year round, and also be the party planner and host to make it exist.
Although he saw that the dream was full of broken possibilities, Bushang still did his best to help Xiao Qiao. Raw materials such as coffee beans, coconut flour, and jam were provided to the store for free, and she was also introduced to part-time staff like Suixu.
