Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

April 18 is jessinetbsp; "Sika, today is your birthday, what do you want, brother will give it to you."

"Brother, I don't have anything I need." Jessica frowned and thought for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "Brother, how can you ask me like that, if you give a birthday gift, you have to use your own heart." ”

"What..." An Yuxi was dumbfounded, he just didn't know what to give before he asked you, what a waste if you buy it and don't need it.

"No matter what my brother sends me, I'll be happy." Jessica also added a reassuring sentence, but the tone sounded hard and overtly duplicitous. I don't know which god said that there is no girl who doesn't like gifts, so she still has to think of a good idea, An Yuxi has a little headache.

"Send you the cucumber either." Looking at the girl's bright appearance, An Yuxi thought darkly, it is better to send a "curiosity box", the kind of box that can pop out "ghosts", it will definitely be scared to cry, forget it.

Since he remembered, An Yuxi didn't ask his family for money, because he didn't need money, he had a place to eat, he went out to ride a mountain bike, and when he was greedy, he went to his brother's store to eat and drink, and his life was very chic.

Since Xiuyan grew up, he began to need to give gifts, and he understood the importance of money, although his mother would give him $1oo pocket money every month, but he kept it in the bank and didn't want to ask the family for money, so the gifts were made by himself. But for girls, beautiful clothes are always preferred, in order to buy clothes for little girls, the right should be like this, and he started his career of writing novels, all of which were movies he had seen in his previous life, and he also made a little money.

"Ah, it's so hard."

"It's good to buy something for Sika, if you want to buy a greeting card, you've already done it, and if you make another one, you can only do that, ahhhhh If you do it yourself, there's nothing to do, and if you do wood carving every time, do you want to open a wood carving shop?

If you can't think of anything, it's better to go to the boutique doll shop and look for inspiration. Just do it, keep Jessica at home to play with Little Crystal, and go out by herself.

Sometimes An Yuxi wants to leave Zheng's father and family in the United States, and the two families live like this for a lifetime, and when the time comes, they marry Xiuyan as their wife, and there is a little crystal, An Yuxi has no plans to spend money on both sisters, that is too evil, living together for so many years, An Yuxi has always regarded her as a sister, but now both of them are very young, but this evil idea has only appeared in the deep mind, really, just once! The idea is too selfish.

I don't know when it started, Xiuyan has her own heart, and she doesn't tell herself anymore, An Yuxi has seen Xiao Xiuyan's diary, or An Yuxi's Children's Day gift to her, a pink Minnie Mouse's notebook with a combination lock (not a laptop), the password is still set by An Yuxi, it's Sika's birthday, sometimes I really want to look at the diary secretly, but I still can't help it**, it's too tasteless to do so.

"Jessica must be on a journal like me!" An Yuxi secretly speculated, isn't it the same way we wrote diaries when we were children? I got up this morning, I brushed my teeth, washed my face, ate dinner and went to school, I arrived at the classroom and now Xiao Ming has come earlier than me, the whole classroom is clean, it turns out that Xiao Ming is "Lei Feng" or something.

Now Jessica doesn't say anything to An Yuxi, she always wants An Yuxi to guess, how can she guess this! It's so tangled to buy a gift, An Yuxi was annoyed for a while.

The area south of Market Street, home to bars, clubs and artists.

Walking around the market street aimlessly, hoping to find a little different handicraft or something, but unfortunately I didn't find it for a long time, walking and seeing a group of people cheering loudly around the door of a store, and the faint sound of music came over, An Yuxi also went over to make a scene.

It's no surprise to this An Yuxi, it is estimated that which artist is engaged in what activities, there is also a trading market here, you can exchange your works for what you want, and talented people here can be respected, no matter what color or race.

There are many shopkeepers who are artists, painters, singers and other artists themselves, and there are some bars and coffee shops here, and the biggest feature is that the service here is self-service, you can brew your own coffee if you want to drink it, grind as many coffee beans as you want, and milk and caramel are ready-made.

Many literati painters are looking for inspiration here, it is worth mentioning that there are also many street performers here, there are performance art, there are also portraits, playing guitar to make money, etc., when you are bored, the time passes quickly, and there are also people who make very exquisite handicrafts to exhibit, but they are not sold, they have to be exchanged for talents such as singing, dancing or painting, or just for fun, if in a group of people he thinks you draw the best, you can take that thing, this is a quirk, A lot of people here have such quirks, and the environment in San Francisco has raised them to be miserable.

For example, the white uncle in front of him with a beard and brown sunglasses sat under the sign of a coffee shop, surrounded by a circle of people, and a young man in the middle was singing with a microphone.

"Is this a karaoke contest?" An Yuxi squeezed in, "Or is it a promotion to pull customers?" ”

On the table in front of the uncle is a very delicate microphone, on the outside is a copper sleeve made of brass wire with the thickness of a little finger, and there is a stand, and inside is a microphone carved from white crystal, which looks exquisite, and it seems that this is the prize.

An Yuxi, who didn't know the situation, asked the person next to him, and replied that the uncle was looking for a lead singer for his band, and it had been a long time, and the person who sang the best here would get a prize. Then I talked to An Yuxi with great interest about the unpretentious microphone, which is actually a small projector, which can be plugged in with a number of lines to play the video and music in the mobile device, and the lower part also comes with a small amplifier, which is a very practical thing, if it is a projector, the shape is also wonderful, if you can get this prize if you sing well, she will be very happy if you give it to Jessica! An Yuxi decided to try it too, but as for the band or something, An Yuxi didn't feel very cold.

"Hi, Buddy, can I join if I don't want to be the lead singer?" An Yuxi stepped forward to negotiate with the middle-aged uncle.

"Absolutely!" The middle-aged uncle said without hesitation.

The first few people are okay, but An Yuxi doesn't know how he sings, what song he sings? If it's Chinese without accompaniment, then sing "as_Long_as_you_Love_me" by the Backstreet Boys, An Yuxi found this song on the jukebox. Ahn Yuxi likes the songs of the backstreet boys very much, they are very rhythmic and not difficult to sing.

The next person sang it was An Yuxi who sang it, An Yuxi sang in public for the first time in so long, if the singing is smashed, run away, An Yuxi thought so, and was ready to slip his feet at any time, anyway, no one knew me.

The boy in front passed the microphone in his hand to An Yuxi, An Yuxi was a little nervous, although he heard the old man say that his voice was very good, and An Yuxi had also recorded his own voice and listened to it, but he couldn't tell what it felt.

The accompaniment sounded, An Yuxi took a deep breath, calmed down, and tried to ignore the audience in front of him, they are all air, they are all air...

"a1though_1one1iness_has_a1ays_been_a_friend_of_mine (though I'm used to being alone)."

"I'm_1eaving_my_1ife_in_your_hands (I'll put myself in your hands)."

・・・・・・

When I listened to this song before, An Yuxi didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics, but since I came to the United States and began to read English with English thinking, now this lyrics are also very touching, as long as you still love me, no matter who you are, you can do anything, it's just a resentful look.

An Yu used to be suitable for singing this kind of somewhat complaining song, whether it was his mood or voice.

It should be because An Yuxi still sings well, or because the song is very popular, some people began to hum along as soon as they started singing, and the audience also sang along with the chorus, so that An Yuxi was also encouraged and sang harder.

“as_1ong_as_you_1ove_me・・・”

Looking at An Yuxi, who sang affectionately, the eyes behind the glasses of the middle-aged uncle flashed again and again, just like a person who had been hungry for a long time saw a meat bun, and now An Yuxi is the meat bun, there were a few children who sang it well before, but it didn't meet his requirements, what he wanted was this kind of voice that still had a lot of plastic space.

Ending the singing with a wave of applause, An Yuxi blushed and thanked him, which seemed to have a better effect than expected.

"It's a good song." The uncle stood up and gave An Yuxi a thumbs up, this is the most emotional one to sing today.

"Boy, are you interested in coming to our band?" The uncle got up and invited An Yuxi, but this is just how this is so much like a Japanese comic style.

"If I don't come, can I get a prize?" An Yuxi pointed to the small projector on the table, ignoring this uncle, and only had gifts in his heart.

"It's okay..." The middle-aged uncle was choked, isn't our band worth a gadget?

"You don't know me?" The uncle pointed to his face.

An Yuxi took a closer look at this uncle, an uncle with a full beard, big glasses, he couldn't see anything, and his hair was very lush.

"I don't know!" An Yuxi replied honestly, could it be that this uncle is very famous?

The uncle patted his head in annoyance, looking deeply shocked, and there was a burst of good-natured laughter from the crowd, which made An Yuxi even more confused, his face was even redder, and he was really a celebrity.

"This is our most famous musician in San Francisco, Uncle Hydra!" The young man who had just explained to An Yuxi saw that An Yuxi really didn't know, so he hurriedly explained to him, "I also won the 'San Francisco Bay Area Music Awards' for Best Composer and Producer a month ago!" His cartoons with glasses are one of our San Francisco icons. (The San Francisco Bay Area Music Awards are a local San Francisco award that is presented to local musicians in March.) ）

"Uh, is it famous?" An Yuxi smiled awkwardly, "I don't watch TV often." ”

"Poof~ha." Now it was not only the commentators, but even the uncle named Hydra laughed, and he could not be seen on TV.

"What a lovely kid." Hydra smiled and handed the trophy to Ahn Yuxi.

"Cute? That's whether the girl is good or not. An Yuxi pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, and then happily took the trophy, this uncle still counts! Haha, Jessica's gift is finally solved!

"Alright, thank you." Uncle took the prize out, everyone knew that there was no show, this is Uncle Hydra, who used to be the lead singer and composer of a well-known band, and then the band disbanded for some reason, but recently it seems that a new band has been formed, if he values it, he can join his band, his band has performed in Times Square! These young people are all here for the reputation of Hydra, as for the high-tech craft, it is just a giveaway, but they didn't expect to meet a little white here, it is really a purchase and pearl!

There are still people who come with passion and don't want to give up this opportunity.

"Uncle Hydra, doesn't this kid want to join your band? Is it giving us another chance? A young man asked with courage.

"Well, we'll talk about that later." The uncle refused without thinking about it.

"Alas~" Seeing that the uncle was so resolute, the rest of the people also walked away regretfully.

An Yuxi saw that everyone had left, and he also wanted to leave.

"Don't go!" When the uncle saw that An Yuxi was leaving, he hurriedly stayed.

"Huh? Uncle, is there anything else? "An Yuxi is in a good mood now, and he has a good impression of this uncle, not to mention that this gift was given to him by this uncle.

"I'd like to treat you to a cup of coffee, how about it?" The uncle took off his glasses and invited sincerely.

"Well, of course!" An Yuxi agreed, anyway, the gift has been found, and he is not in a hurry to go home, just wrap the gift.

I followed my uncle into the coffee shop, this is a coffee house called "darkroom", the overall decoration is dark, the lighting is soft, all are brown wooden furniture, the air is full of the fragrance of coffee, giving people a very comfortable feeling, as soon as I come in, I feel that I am quiet, An Yuxi enjoys this feeling.

The uncle asked An Yuxi to wait for a while, and then brought An Yuxi a cup of coffee and a plate of strawberry cake, An Yuxi took the coffee cup with both hands, and there was a thick layer of brownish-red grease foam floating on the surface of the coffee, and a fragrant smell came to the nose, and it looked good, An Yuxi added three tablespoons of sugar with a spoon and stirred, tasted it, and then frowned and stuck out his tongue, "It's so bitter!" ”

"Uh," Seeing that An Yuxi added so much sugar, the uncle's hand holding the coffee trembled, "Boy, haven't you ever drunk coffee?" ”

"I like to drink tea." An Yuxi replied, although An Yuxi likes to drink tea, it is just to quench his thirst with tea, whether it is Biluochun or oolong tea or what, as long as the thirst is quenched, just like a cow chewing peonies, so An Yuxi's teacup is a porcelain cup with a capacity of 5oo ml.

Uncle feels that he has made a mistake, this is his best espresso! (It means fast in Italian) is not even his turn to make coffee. "Espresso" is known as the "soul of coffee", and for cafes, "a café that does not sell 'espresso' is not a café", which shows the importance of "espresso". Espresso is a combination of 7 grams of deeply roasted coffee beans, ground into an extremely fine coffee powder, and through a high temperature vapor of 9 atmospheres and 9o degrees Celsius, 3o ml of strong coffee liquid is rapidly extracted in a short time of 2o seconds. The most important thing for a successful "espresso" is to see if there is a thick layer of brownish-red grease foam floating on the surface, known as "crema".

The biggest feature of "espresso" is the condensation of aroma and taste, and the orthodox way to drink it is to add sugar, stir it slightly, and wait until the temperature reaches a drinkable process. While enjoying the aromatic taste, the caffeine intake is greatly reduced. This way of drinking coffee to the extreme but taking into account health has been recognized by coffee experts around the world, and this shop in Hydra is also famous for this, many locals want to drink a cup of his own Zuò espresso, but unfortunately unless it is what he likes, he does not make coffee lightly.

Hydra felt that he had completely lost to the yellow boy in front of him.

"Uh, Boy..." Looking at An Yuxi, who was eating cake hard, Hydra didn't know how to speak.

Gorgeous and glamorous!

"Uncle, I have a name, you can call me my Chinese name, anyuxi, or you can call my English name, an11en." An Yuxi said vaguely while eating the cake that he didn't want to be so rude, but he ran out without even eating lunch, and now he is really a little hungry.

"Okay." The uncle held his forehead. When did you have such a good temper? Hydra wondered.

“an11en・・・”

"Uncle, can I order another one?" An Yuxi thinks that this strawberry cake tastes good, sweet and sour, very appetizing, but a little greasy.

“・・・”

"Do you want anything else?" Hydra, who was interrupted, asked with a black line on his head and a broken jar.

"It would be nice to have an ice cream and mango pudding." An Yuxi licked the strawberry jam on the plate without discipline, the taste is really not too good, and it also strengthened An Yuxi's determination to steal the teacher, I must learn this technique! Then go and open a pastry shop yourself! I don't know when An Yuxi wanted to put all the good things in his pocket, but it seemed that it was not bad to join a band, An Yuxi had a thought in his heart, maybe he could be a singer in the future?

"I'm full!" An Yuxi hiccups her stomach in satisfaction after killing a mango pudding and an ice cream.

"Uncle! I haven't learned to sing, do you really want me to join your band? An Yuxi wiped out only half of the coffee in one gulp, seeing Hydra frowning, An Yuxi, who was very good at looking at the eyes, also felt a little embarrassed, feeling so casual and rude in front of a strange uncle, he was so good, but the pastries in this shop were really delicious, An Yuxi felt sorry for his stomach if he didn't go back to school! Now An Yuxi has become a foodie, not only likes to eat, but also likes to make it himself.

Anyway, this uncle seems to be the owner of this shop, because he is alone in this shop, it is better to repair the plank road secretly Chen Cang, and steal his pastries in the name of joining his band, An Yuxi thought about it and was very satisfied with his plan, which should be regarded as a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"Huh?" Hydra was surprised that he hadn't started to persuade the kid to suddenly change his mind. He thought he had to go through a few words.

"It's okay, you're still young, I can teach you!" Although Hydra thought it was strange, he didn't think much of it, and happily replied that An Yuxi's voice was exactly what the band lacked now, and although the amount of food was a bit large, it was not a problem.

I told Hydra to learn singing or something from him, and then An Yuxi went home.

Mom and Dad should have bought the cake, and Xiao Xiuyan should be waiting for me to come home at home in a princess dress, and I have to find a place to pack it silently.
