Chapter 93, Starbucks' first encounter
The day after arriving in Lin'an, Chen Xueqian and the three of them went to the NUS Starbucks, which is not far from the hotel.
When the three of them walked into this legendary coffee chain that entered the world's top 500 companies by selling coffee, the three of them were a little surprised.
Among the three, Zhou Yan has basically never entered a café, and there is no café of sufficient grade in Zhengyang or even Binhuai. Before she heard Chen Xueqian say that this coffee shop was opened by an American, she had been imagining what kind of store it would be. At this time, when I walked into the store, I looked at the style of American fast food restaurants that were rampant in China in later generations, and it was full of novelty.
Bai Feifei was completely misled by Chen Xueqian, she had not been to Starbucks before, after all, there are only three stores in the country.
I listened to Chen Xueqian's extremely cool plan before, and asked her to refer to Starbucks, which made her think that Starbucks would be a place full of style like Chen Xueqian's story. However, when I saw it at this time, I suddenly had a feeling that it was better to meet than to be famous.
And Chen Xueqian saw that there was no wireless network access prompt in this store. It dawned on him that at this time, the wireless network of laptops had not really become popular. Wifi is still a bit far away. He couldn't help but feel a little nerve-wracked.
In his impression, drinking coffee and surfing the Internet at Starbucks has been a leisure way for domestic white-collar workers and petty bourgeoisie for a long time.
It's just that these are not difficult for Chen Xueqian, he wants to lead the trend and make his coffee shop a benchmark in the industry, and he wants to design and customize a leisure and entertainment method for the domestic petty bourgeoisie.
Just when the three of them were stunned with different thoughts, a neat welcome sounded, calling the three back to their senses.
Chen Xueqian led two beauties, one big and one small, to the bar, looked at the menu, asked for a large cup of mocha, and asked for a few small snacks.
Zhou Yan had never drunk coffee, and she didn't know what kind of coffee would taste like, so she asked for a cup of mocha in the same way.
Bai Feifei asked for a caramel macchiato.
After the three of them finished ordering, it was still Chen Xueqian who paid the bill, and they were not in a hurry to find a place to sit down after paying, but stood there and watched the clerk brew coffee. Chen Xueqian watched the clerk skillfully use the coffee machine, and skillfully brewed the coffee ordered by the three of them.
Picking up a seat with their coffee, the three of them each tasted the coffee in front of them.
Zhou Yan had heard that coffee was bitter and fragrant before, and at this time, she took a sip of the mocha with a layer of cream in front of her and took a sip with a little caution.
However, to her surprise, Chen Xueqian's coffee was not bitter at all.
Seeing Zhou Yan's look of surprise, Chen Xueqian asked with a smile, "How do you feel?" ”
Zhou Yan nodded with a smile on her face: "It's delicious!" That's what coffee looks like! ”
Chen Xueqian couldn't help but laugh again when he heard this. "Not all coffee tastes like this! The mocha you drink is the one with the most added trimmings in coffee. Next time you can try the Fly Fly Point Caramel Macchiato. That's one of Starbucks' staple drinks. ”
Zhou Yan glanced at the coffee in Bai Feifei's hand when she heard this, and nodded to indicate that she understood.
While the two of them were talking, Bai Feifei kept smiling and didn't say a word. Wait quietly for them to finish.
Chen Xueqian briefly introduced some common sense of coffee to Zhou Yan, turned his head to Bai Feifei and said, "How do you feel?" ”
Bai Feifei knew that Chen Xueqian was asking what he thought of this Starbucks.
She reached out and stroked the sagging oblique bangs and said: "It's not as famous as meeting, but the service and coffee are above the level." ”
Chen Xueqian smiled when he heard this. "I can't measure it against the model I've told you, but the creativity I'm talking about is a synthesis of specialty coffee shops in Japan, the United States, and many other European countries. Once launched, it will inevitably set off a trend. ”
Bai Feifei gave him a roll of his eyes without hesitation when he heard this, this person boasted that he had no bottom line at all, and he was not ashamed.
Chen Xueqian boasted of himself?? After a while, he began to seriously analyze the layout of Starbucks for the two women and serve the hidden secrets.
"You see, the queue in their store is horizontal, so that customers can stop by to see the desserts in the store while waiting, so that customers will not get bored because of waiting, and they can sell their products in disguise. Moreover, many of the layout of Starbucks is horizontally, which is conducive to the use of space and does not make the aisles crowded. ”
Chen Xueqian's introduction suddenly gave Bai Feifei and Zhou Yan a new understanding of Starbucks, and it turned out that there were such tricks in the details they didn't pay attention to.
At the same time, the two girls also felt a burst of admiration for Chen Xueqian's insight.
Just as Chen Xueqian's topic was over and he took a sip of coffee, a female voice suddenly came from the table next to them.
"This little brother is so perceptive!"
When the three people at the table heard this, they turned their heads at the same time, and saw a woman in her twenties at the next table looking at them with a smile on her face.
Chen Xueqian was stunned after seeing the other party's appearance clearly.
He couldn't help but feel a sigh of emotion in his heart, this world is really small. They unexpectedly met Ding Lei last night.
And today, I met a person who Chen Xueqian had admired for a long time in his previous life.
Looking at the other party's elegant and generous temperament, slightly chubby but not damaging the beautiful appearance. He recognized at a glance that the woman in front of him who suddenly interjected was the fantasy female writer Cang Yue, whom he liked very much in his previous life.
Chen Xueqian, who liked to read miscellaneous books in his previous life, is an out-and-out book lover for her. Basically, she had read all her books. And her other identity is also Chen Xueqian's idol. The other party is a master's student majoring in architectural design at Zhejiang University, and is a close disciple of the founder of modern Chinese architecture.
It's just that Chen Xueqian didn't expect that in his previous life, he and he were completely from two worlds, and at this time, they would appear in front of him like this.
Chen Xueqian couldn't help but be a little excited for a while, and suddenly stood up and said, "Are you Cangyue?" ”
Cangyue was obviously stunned, she didn't expect the other party to call out her pen name.
"You know me?" Slightly stunned, Cang Yue smiled lightly and spoke.
"Of course, I've read all the books you've written."
Chen Xueqian looked at the other party with a look of surprise, "I didn't expect to see you here, it's really unexpected." ”
Cangyue originally heard Chen Xueqian's insightful analysis, and only spoke with a moment of excitement. didn't want the other party to know her. Although this feeling of being adored is not bad, she is still just a newcomer at this time. I didn't have any experience like that, and I didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Just when the two of them were about to fall into a cold spot, Bai Feifei, who had been watching with a smile on his face, interjected: "Won't Xiao Qian help introduce me?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Xueqian hurriedly introduced Bai Feifei: "This is Cangyue, formerly known as Wang Yang, and is a martial arts writer. Her work is great! ”
Bai Feifei smiled when he heard this, "It turned out to be Xiao Qian's colleague, does Miss Wang mind having a cup of coffee together?" My name is Bai Feifei. ”
When Cangyue saw Bai Feifei, who had an extraordinary temperament, she immediately smiled. "Okay."
As she spoke, she got up and sat down at Bai Feifei's table.
"I'm Wang Yang, and Miss Bai just said that this classmate is my colleague?"
Chen Xueqian hurriedly diverted the topic: "My name is Chen Xueqian, I am a junior high school student, I am so happy to see you, I am fine." will be held in the school magazine"
Cang Yue looked at him and nodded, and then looked at Zhou Yan, who had not spoken.
Zhou Yan imitated Bai Feifei's appearance, and said with a light smile: "My name is Zhou Yan, and I am Chen Xueqian's classmate. It's an honor to meet you. ”
Cang Yue looked at the three of them for a while, but she didn't know what to say.
