Chapter 40: Coffee Beans 1

People's sleepiness often comes so inexplicably, especially when you wake up from a deep sleep and still find yourself sleepy, it is even more inexplicable.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still a lot of things to do, Ling Menglan really wanted to stay in bed all the time and not get up. The moment she got out of bed was painful for her, because her eyes and body did not listen to her at this moment.

But fortunately, as long as you survive it, you won't be unable to get up.

Ling Menglan's mental state is getting worse and worse, which her roommates can see. It's not that I didn't ask without worry, but all I got was a response like okay, and since she herself said it was okay, they didn't want to ask more.

The other two roommates may not ask much, but as Ling Menglan's friend, Zuo Xiaonian is not just a casual one who can prevaricate. Instead of looking at Ling Menglan, who was rubbing his eyebrows and looking like he couldn't sleep well, Zuo Xiaonian leaned over and asked.

"Meng Lan, what have you been doing lately? I see that your face is always not very good, haven't you slept well? ”

"I don't know, I just feel a little tired." Continuing to rub her eyebrows, Ling Menglan replied.

"I'm always tired, you can't be sick." Worriedly asked again, this question immediately made Ling Menglan laugh, shook her head at her, and Ling Menglan replied.

"If you're not sick, don't worry about it, it's just that you haven't slept enough."

Sick? How could it be sick, since I was a child, Ling Menglan has not suffered from illness. Of course, this time's sleepiness was not due to illness, but simply because of not getting enough sleep.

At least that's what Ling Menglan thinks.

If you just can't lift your spirits, it's a bit of a problem. Lying on the back of the chair and looking at Ling Menglan, Zuo Xiaonian, who was sitting there staring at her vigorously, suddenly stood up, and then walked to the front of the cabinet and didn't know what was going on.

I watched her dig something out of the cupboard, then hurried to get the thermos bottle, then poured it into the cup and flushed it away. Holding the cup that I didn't know what it had brewed and putting it in front of Ling Menglan, Zuo Xiaonian said.

"I see that you still have a part-time job to do, even if you are asked to go to sleep again, you will not agree. Just drink some coffee to refresh yourself, or I'll be sleepy when I don't look at you yawning like the sky. ”

It's not that Zuo Xiaonian is funny, but watching Ling Menglan yawn vigorously, she also feels sleepy. When Zuo Xiaonian said this, Ling Menglan was a little embarrassed, and even took the cup of coffee, and then said "thank you".

Zuo Xiaonian didn't like to listen to this thank you, and glanced at her directly, Zuo Xiaonian said: "Thank you for saying something between good sisters, if you are like this in the future, I will ignore you." ”

This complaint was not a joke, and immediately made Ling Menglan laugh embarrassedly, and almost changed "thank you" to "sorry", but fortunately changed his mouth before he spoke, did not say such a kind word, and took a sip of coffee.

Tightly just a sip of coffee down, Ling Meng Lan was shocked when he landed.

Traditional coffee tastes bitter, and although it is refreshing, it is not to her liking. And the instant coffee powder in the world, although not as bitter as the traditional one, has a taste of instant creamer.

Although the refreshing effect of coffee is excellent, Ling Menglan can't love this unpleasant taste. will drink this cup of coffee, also because she was brewed by a friend, and she doesn't want to refute her friend's kindness.

Who knew that this bite would surprise her.

After taking a sip, Ling Menglan was directly asked to sit there in shock, and after being shocked, she picked up the cup and took a sip.

The second bite was not just as simple as surprise, Ling Menglan, who suddenly felt that the whole person was light, sat there directly with her eyes squinted.

Ling Menglan's expression Zuo Xiaonian saw it in his eyes, looking at her current enjoyment, Zuo Xiaonian couldn't help but smile and said, "How about it, it's not bad." ”

"Hmm." Nodding his head and responding directly, after responding, Ling Menglan handed the cup in his hand forward a few points, and then asked, "Xiao Nian, what is this?" ”

"Didn't I tell you? Coffee. ”

"Coffee?" He lowered his head in surprise and looked at the liquid in the glass. Aside from the resemblance of color to traditional coffee, there is nothing in this cup that reminds me of coffee.

The taste is silky, not only does it not feel bitter when you take a bite, but it also exudes bursts of sweetness, and that sweet taste is definitely not the creamer in espresso.

It was obviously a good smell like that, but Ling Meng Lan couldn't remember what that taste was.

Just two sips could no longer satisfy her, because she liked such a taste, Ling Menglan quickly drank the coffee in the cup. When the cup bottomed out, she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, I felt that I was in a happy mood and the whole person was refreshed.

It seems that this coffee can have a refreshing effect, and it is not ridiculous.

Ling Menglan rarely likes one thing like this, but this time it really won the coffee brewed by Zuo Xiaonian. After breathing a sigh of relief with satisfaction, Ling Menglan took the cup and asked, "Is Xiao Nian still there?" ”

After listening to Ling Menglan's words and looking at her expectant expression, Zuo Xiaonian was directly amused, and immediately replied: "You think I specialize in selling coffee, you can have it if you want." ”

It seemed that Zuo Xiaonian was gone, and Ling Menglan, who was somewhat disappointed, dropped his gaze to the cup and then said, "It's a pity, this coffee is really delicious." By the way, Xiao Nian, you bought it from this coffee. ”

"I didn't buy it." With a smile, Zuo Xiaonian replied: "When I went out with the club before, I accidentally found a newly opened coffee shop, and because it was newly opened, there were giveaways in it. At that time, I put it in my bag and brought it back, and I didn't look at you being sleepy, so I cut my love and rushed to give you a drink. ”

It's also such friends who remember themselves.

But since it's a giveaway, I'm afraid Zuo Xiaonian won't have it in his hands now. I like the taste of this coffee, I just drank it and I couldn't stop it, but I didn't have it anymore, Ling Menglan could only lick her lips lightly and then said regretfully.

"It's a pity it's gone."

"Meng Lan, you seem to like it very much."

"yes, it tastes good, and it's a good pick-me-up." During this conversation, Ling Menglan miraculously found that she was no longer sleepy like that, one hand was stretched out straight, and the other hand was grasping the elbow of the straight hand, and Ling Menglan, who was stretching her waist, looked much better than just now.

Looking at it this way, it looks like an energetic college student.

Seeing Ling Menglan like this, Zuo Xiaonian, who also saw that she had regained her spirit, immediately replied: "What's the pity, that shop is not down, if you like the taste of this coffee, we can go at any time." But before you go, I personally think that Meng Lan, you should get the matter at hand done. ”

Because of a strong sleepiness, this work efficiency is not much better, Ling Menglan has only been able to deal with it for a long time. Now that he has the spirit, looking at his efficiency just now, Ling Menglan can't bear to look at it directly.

Also, that coffee shop doesn't just say pour, if you really like it, you can go straight to the store and order a cup of coffee. But before I think about it, it's really as my friend said.

This matter at hand has to be dealt with quickly, this is a part-time business, no joke.

In the next work, even if he has tears, he has to do it, and Ling Menglan, who has recovered his spirit, sighed there for the first time because of his part-time job.

I don't know if it's because of the anticipation for that rare and fascinating coffee, or because the refreshing effect of the coffee is really good. What would have taken a day to sort out, she took less than half a day to finish.

The efficiency was so high that it scared people to death, even Ling Menglan herself was surprised, and seeing her handle the matter so quickly, Zuo Xiaonian couldn't help but joke.

"Isn't it just a cup of coffee, Meng Lan, you don't have to be greedy to this extent."

Although I like the taste of the coffee, I am not so desperate. But then again, the effect of that coffee is really good, and this is the best spirit of Ling Menglan in this time.

It's been a long time since I've been in such a spirit, and she's always called her sleepy and almost crazy, but now she's rejuvenated.

When I was doing things just now, I was extremely focused and didn't think about anything. Now that the matter at hand has stopped, Ling Menglan really misses the taste of the coffee.

Because of nostalgia, this mouth couldn't help but "smash" a few times, and after cleaning up the things on the table, Ling Menglan raised his head and said, "By the way, Xiao Nian, where is that coffee shop, why don't we go over now." ”

Once such a thought rose in her heart, Ling Menglan couldn't stop "smashing it" in her mouth, thinking of that taste, of course she wanted to ask Zuo Xiaonian to take her.

Looking at Ling Menglan's current appearance, she didn't know that she thought she was thinking about some peerless delicacy. couldn't help but shake his head and looked like he couldn't stand it, Zuo Xiaonian said.

"What's the hurry, isn't it just a cup of coffee, you're too anxious. Even if you want to go out to drink, you have to eat first, you can't go on an empty stomach. ”

Drinking coffee on an empty stomach is not a good habit, and Zuo Xiaonian, who rarely frowned, warned very seriously, but after the warning, he couldn't help but muttered softly.

"But the coffee in this shop seems to be really good, and many people I know love the taste of this restaurant, and they have to drink a cup or two almost every day."

Originally, she was very serious about what Ling Menglan said, she had to finish dinner before she could go to coffee, but Ling Menglan couldn't wait, and finally couldn't stand Ling Menglan's begging, Zuo Xiaonian took her to find that coffee shop

Coffee is also a relatively luxurious treat, at least for college students who do not have financial resources. Coffee is indeed a petty bourgeois lifestyle, and it's okay to have an occasional cup or two a month, but if you have to go out with friends every day for a drink.

The money in the wallet will not hold up.

No matter what level of coffee shop it is, it is a luxury consumption for students. However, this coffee shop is a bit special, and when she followed Zuo Xiaonian to find this coffee shop, Ling Menglan was surprised.

In her mind, the coffee shop should be a very atmospheric place, renting a house alone, and decorating it well to make people feel happy. Outside the café, there are several beautifully designed tables and chairs, and large parasols are propped up.

This is what a coffee shop should look like.

But the one in front of me is completely different.

There is no European-style decoration, no exquisite tables and chairs, and no parasols, just an ordinary store in that small alley.

Such a small alley, to be honest, if it weren't for Zuo Xiaonian leading him, Ling Menglan might not be able to find it.

After entering the alley and looking at this place, Ling Menglan was surprised. You can see her puzzlement from her face, and while leading Ling Menglan in, Zuo Xiaonian said.

"Honestly, the first time I came in, I had the exact same look on my face as you. At that time, my friends in the club told me that there was a coffee shop here, and I didn't believe it. How can there be business in such a ghost place. ”

Zuo Xiaonian's words, Ling Menglan agreed, although he did not respond, but his expression already agreed.

After a slight pause in the words, Zuo Xiaonian quickly continued: "But when I really entered here, I understood what the aroma of wine is, not afraid of deep alleys, the coffee here is really much better than the outside, even if it is opened in this kind of place, there are many repeat customers." To be honest, I think the owner is quite confident in opening a store in such a place. The coffee tastes good, and the rent of this place is cheap, and the price of coffee in her house is not expensive, so it can indeed attract a lot of business. ”

To put it bluntly, what Zuo Xiaonian said this time was quite right.

In addition to the relatively high consumption of coffee itself, the most important thing is that the rent and labor costs are high.

If the owner himself has good craftsmanship, there is really no need to waste all those unjust money to open the shop in those places outside.

As long as the food is delicious and the price is reasonable, even if the shop is hidden in a deeper alley, students won't mind.

And the owner of this coffee shop does have that ability.

followed Zuo Xiaonian to the coffee shop and watched her push open the door. As she walked in, she was greeted by the smell of coffee.

It tastes so sweet, I really want to drink another glass.
