Chapter 45: Coffee Beans 6

Ling Menglan came here for coffee, and since the shopkeeper asked, of course she nodded yes. After beckoning Ling Menglan to sit down at the bar, the shopkeeper began to tinker with the tools for making coffee, and said with a smile while the shopkeeper did not forget to accompany him.

"I'm sorry to look at me here, because no guest has ever come in so early, so I haven't sorted out these things yet, you wait a minute."

"Well, you take your time."

After that, Ling Menglan began to look at herself, the decoration of the store is really simple, that is, the coffee here is so delicious that she will think of it again and again. Ling Menglan, who quickly swept the decoration of the store, moved her eyes to the door of the back kitchen, and after coming out, the owner had already closed the door of the back kitchen.

The back kitchen of the coffee shop was originally nothing to be curious about, but Ling Meng Lan didn't know why, but she was particularly attentive to the place behind that door. While busy sorting out the things on the bar, Ling Menglan's attention was also focused there, until the coffee making machine turned on, and Ling Menglan's attention here shifted to the shopkeeper.

Everything was ready, and now it was time to start brewing the first cup of coffee of the day, and Ling Menglan saw the shopkeeper take out a small basket from under the bar. The basket was not as big as the owner's palm, and it was full of bright red coffee beans.

Watching the shopkeeper pick up those coffee beans and then pour them into the coffee machine, Ling Menglan couldn't help but ask, "How do you put the coffee beans in the basket?" ”

Even if she didn't understand it, she knew that things like coffee beans should be kept in glass bottles. Placed in the basket like this, if Ling Menglan didn't know that they were the coffee beans used to make coffee in this shop, she would really mistake them for freshly picked fruits.

Eyes jumped from the coffee machine and then moved to the red coffee beans, Ling Menglan looked very attentively.

She watched intently, but the shopkeeper also replied seriously. While brewing coffee, the owner replied, "My coffee beans are different from other coffee beans, and they don't need special drying treatment." ”

"Why?" I couldn't help but continue to ask.

"Because." Smiling, the owner said, "Because we want to maintain the original flavor of coffee, if you store it for too long, the taste will inevitably be pure." For the most mellow original flavor, my coffee beans here are fresh. ”

"Fresh?" When the shopkeeper said this, Ling Menglan was stunned. What is fresh, is it possible that the owner of this shop has grown it himself.

Although he felt strange, Ling Menglan didn't ask the next words. This kind of question involves the trade secrets of a store, so even if you ask yourself, you probably won't get an answer.

Thinking about it like this, Ling Menglan didn't ask, but after being quiet for a while, the coffee was brewed. Pouring the freshly brewed coffee into the cup, the shopkeeper pushed it to Ling Menglan.

It can be regarded as waiting for the brewed coffee, as soon as the shopkeeper pushes it up, Ling Menglan couldn't wait, and even if he took it, he didn't care that the coffee was still hot, so he opened his mouth and took a sip.

After the mellow aroma of this coffee entered her mouth, Ling Menglan felt that she felt alive again.

The nausea that came from the porridge in the morning finally soothed with this coffee.

Drinking coffee is a pleasure for Ling Menglan, and watching others drink coffee is also a pleasure for the owner. Standing there propped up, the shopkeeper smiled so gently.

After this cup of belly, Ling Menglan felt that she had found herself, and she exhaled faintly, Ling Menglan sighed: "Your coffee here is really delicious." ”

"If you like it."

Listening to the shopkeeper's answer, Ling Menglan, who looked at the empty cup, suddenly asked, "By the way, I saw that you have made many cups of coffee since yesterday, how can I have seen you drink it." ”

Yesterday, because I was in a hurry, I didn't pay attention, and I came alone in the evening, and when I drank those two glasses, I didn't see the owner pour himself a glass. There are no customers in the morning, and the owner of the shop, who has already made coffee for himself, has no intention of pouring himself a refreshing cup.

Such a delicious coffee, seeing that the owner didn't touch and taste it, Ling Menglan also cared.

Stretched out his hand to take Ling Menglan's cup, and after refilling it for her, the shopkeeper said, "Because I don't like coffee very much." ”

"Don't like coffee?"

It's strange that this person who doesn't like coffee still runs a coffee shop, and the coffee it brews tastes so good. The shopkeeper's words, Ling Menglan immediately felt that she was teasing herself, but she looked at her expression at this time.

It didn't look like he was teasing, and he couldn't help but ask, "You don't like it?" ”

"yes, because the coffee is a bit bitter."

"Will it?" Looking at the coffee in the cup, Ling Menglan said, "But the coffee you brewed is not bitter at all." ”

"That's because the coffee is special."

"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Why?" As if he was answering Ling Menglan, and as if he was asking himself, the current shopkeeper's voice sounded a little too light. After laughing, the shopkeeper said, "Even if it's not bitter, I can't be interested in it when I think it's coffee." ”

Strange reason, people don't understand, lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, Ling Menglan was about to ask her why she opened a coffee shop since she didn't like it. But before she could ask, the shopkeeper had already spoken.

"I don't like coffee, but I do enjoy it. And the process of getting this coffee bean is also extremely enjoyable. Looking at the cup that had been wiped many times in his hand, the shopkeeper smiled very cheerfully. The transparent glass reflects the shopkeeper's face and her smile.

It's weird, it's so weird. Ling Menglan, who just felt strange, didn't ask this time, but lowered her head and continued to drink the coffee in the cup. But while sipping her coffee, she was subconsciously thinking about something.

Enjoy the process of getting coffee beans? The shopkeeper said this strangely, as if she had grown the beans herself.

Time flies quickly, and it is almost time for a large number of customers, before this, all the owner has to do is to prepare all the materials for the day, and there is naturally not much free time to chat with Ling Menglan when there are more things to do.

Ling Menglan was also an interesting person, and after chatting for a while, she quietly looked at the book she took from the shopkeeper. It's full of books about coffee beans, and although I don't understand it, it's also quite interesting.

I sat there and watched until the bell rang at the door, and the first guest of the day came to the door.

When a customer came to the door, the owner raised his head and said "Welcome", and then the man walked straight to the bar. There are three seats at the bar, and Ling Menglan is sitting on the far left, so it stands to reason that this customer should choose the rightmost position even if he wants to sit here.

But this person is also strange, he actually walked directly to the middle and sat down. There was suddenly another person on the side, and Ling Menglan naturally cared, even if he squinted his eyes, he looked over. He had just raised his eyes to take a closer look when he heard the guest say.

"I didn't expect that classmate Ling still likes to drink coffee, so he soaked in the coffee shop so early."

Listen to a familiar voice, and a familiar intonation. There was no need to look at this person's appearance, Ling Menglan immediately understood who this person was. Immediately greeted him, Ling Menglan replied: "Teacher Yu is not quite early. ”

"I'm not early, it's ten o'clock now, and I've already eaten breakfast."

What do you mean by this? Did he know he hadn't eaten breakfast? As soon as such an idea came out, Ling Menglan himself despised it. He wasn't a Governor himself, so how could he notice if he had eaten breakfast or not. After a gentle self-mockery, Ling Menglan said after laughing at herself.

"I came to the coffee shop after breakfast, and you have worked hard, teacher. That's right," as if thinking of something after saying something, Ling Menglan cut off his words and said.

"By the way, have you been here?"

"Nope." In response to Ling Menglan's words, Yu Du had already begun to look at the types of coffee in the coffee shop and choose the coffee that suited him.

"Haven't been here before?" Responding a little softly, Ling Menglan said, "Then teacher, how did you find this place alone?" ”

This shop is really secret, to be honest, if it weren't for Zuo Xiaonian leading him in, Ling Menglan wouldn't have thought that there was such a coffee shop hidden in this alley. For this library teacher who has never been here but seems to be familiar with the road, Ling Menglan is obviously a little strange.

Looking at one after another, listening to Ling Menglan's inquiry, Yu Du replied truthfully: "Today is the first time I came, I heard several students who came to the library mention it before, saying that the coffee here is delicious, and there are more people who say it, so I asked for the address and plan to try it." ”

It's because someone said it was delicious, so I specially asked for the address and found it, which seems to be what the governor will do.

It's just that he didn't know which one was delicious when he looked at the list, and the half-loud Xuan Du who couldn't choose it simply looked at Ling Menglan and asked, "Which one does Ling think is delicious?" Tell the teacher about it. It was obviously her who asked, but the Du's gaze fell on Ling Menglan's cup. There is only a little coffee left, but it exudes a mellow and rich aroma.

It makes people feel like they can't stop it.

Since the teacher asked, Ling Menglan replied spontaneously. She hasn't drunk any other coffee, but the one she drinks now is very good, so she simply recommends the one in her hand.

Someone who has drunk and praised a good coffee is naturally good, Ling Menglan recommended the one he was drinking, and Yu Du ordered it.

When a customer places an order, the owner of the shop will of course have to get busy. When I returned to the bar, I was busy making coffee, and the blood-red coffee beans were bright and lovely, which also attracted the attention of the governor for a long time.

After seeing the shopkeeper put those lovely coffee beans into the coffee machine, Yu Du turned his head to look at Ling Menglan and asked, "How many cups is this?" ”

Normal people on top of coffee, under normal circumstances, should not ask the other party what time it is but when it came, and the way of asking is really different from ordinary people. But it was precisely when he asked that Ling Menglan remembered.

I think I've already had three or four drinks.

That's a bit much for a morning.

After glancing at the quilt, Meng Lan replied truthfully, and after listening to the reply, the governor nodded and responded: "It seems that classmate Ling really likes coffee." ”

"I don't like coffee." She really doesn't like coffee, it's just that the coffee here is so addictive to her.

"Oh?" I didn't say anything but let out a soft "oh", and with such an "oh", the owner's coffee was ready.

Slowly poured the brewed coffee into the cup, and then handed the cup of coffee to Xudu, and after Geling Menglan refilled another cup, the shopkeeper looked at Xudu and smiled: "Your coffee is ready." ”

The mellow aroma of coffee has an indescribable taste. Just smelling the aroma of coffee like this makes you feel like you can't stop it.

Want to drink, very much want to drink, it's definitely something you'll get addicted to when you drink it.

Because it's so intoxicating, so lingering, you'll get hooked.

This is an extremely addictive coffee that many people have boasted of, and even Ling Menglan recommends this one. After the coffee was brewed, he put it in front of him, and he picked up the cup and brought it to his lips.

The rim of the cup was already close to his lips, and he didn't forget to blow a few breaths into the cup because he was worried that the first sip would be too hot. Seeing that he was about to taste the coffee that had been applauded by many people, who knew that the cup of coffee had already touched his lips, he took a sip and then put the cup back.

"This coffee is really good."

He just said that, and then took the money out of his pocket and put it next to the coffee, and the governor got up to leave.

I came in to the coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee, but I paid for it without touching it and was going to leave. Ling Menglan was strange, and couldn't help but turn around and ask.

"Aren't you drinking, Mr. Xu?"

"I suddenly remembered that I hadn't eaten in the morning, I didn't drink anymore, and I drank coffee in the morning, but it hurt my stomach." I just said that I had eaten it, and now I say that I didn't eat it when I remember it, and this teacher is also strange. Just when Ling Menglan felt that he was inconsistent, he listened to the governor again.

"By the way, drinking too much coffee, especially when you haven't eaten, but it hurts your stomach and body, so you should pay attention to it."

After leaving such a sentence, the governor who paid the money but didn't touch it came out of this coffee shop again, leaving Ling Menglan with a confused face.

What did Mr. Yu say? It's weird.

However, he was a strange person himself, so when he thought about Ling Menglan, he didn't care, but turned around and continued to enjoy the brewed coffee.

The coffee was delicious.

It's really delicious.
