Chapter 52: The Coffee Revolt

Emperor Xu and Sikong Yao looked at the source of the sound in unison, so the man stood up.

After a closer look, I realized that his dress was too avant-garde.

The Korean version of the orange-yellow striped shirt with dark blue jeans, a red and white jacket tied around the waist, wide round hoop cap-shaped earrings shiny, and a cowboy hat that can't hide the red curly hair, doesn't look like a normal person.

Emperor Xu said coldly: "I'm not interested." ”

Seeing that Emperor Xu was so decisive, the man wanted to have a good time, so he tempted: "I am the editor of an international food magazine, Wu You, I am playing in Xiamen normally now, if you want, I can promote the 'Zero Upper Pole' for you." ”

Emperor Xu is a businessman, and such conditions are obviously enough to tempt him.

Wu You turned his head to look at Sikong Yao, and said leisurely: "As for this beautiful lady, our magazine still lacks a beach-style cover, if you don't mind, we can also pay some fees for you." ”

Girls always love beauty, and this temptation to put on the cover is no less than pizza for Italians.

Right in the middle, Sikong Yao fell.

However, Emperor Xu is a businessman, and his mind is much more meticulous, and after thinking about it, he still has no thoughts.

Seeing that both of them were moved, Wu You pondered that there was still a fuse missing, and said: "And you can make a bet or something in private, as long as you like it." ”

Emperor Xu said coldly: "No need, she is not qualified to be my opponent." ”

If Emperor Xu insisted on refusing, Sikong Yao would not be messing around, but since Emperor Xu had said everything about this, Sikong Yao was stubborn.

Sikong Yao provoked: "Don't you dare? ”

Emperor Xu paused, then ignored it, planning to go back to take care of the business.

The plan failed, Wu Youxin was unwilling, and said treacherously: "Alas, it's a pity, is the 'zero upper pole' going to decline from now on?" ”

Emperor Xu turned around, and this was done.

"You're cunning, I'll shut you up with coffee."

Wu You couldn't deny a smile and said, "So, I don't know what this beautiful lady thinks?" ”

Sikong Yao nodded excitedly and said, "Of course it's no problem." ”

Wu You spread his hands and said excitedly: "Contemptible Wu You, an international food magazine and first-class gourmet, can you serve as a judge?" ”

Emperor Xu and Sikong Yao both nodded and acquiesced.

Wu You snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, then you can make a bet in private." ”

Emperor Xu looked at Sikong Yao and sneered: "If you lose, stay and work for a year of unpaid work for Zero Shangji." ”

Sikong Yao responded boldly: "No problem, if you lose, take me to Xu Tianhao." ”

Wu You added fuel to the fire and completely ignited the atmosphere of the duel.

"Okay, the bet is reached, the first battle of the cooking duel, the coffee uprising, starts now!"

The young owner of the zero top pole fought against the beautiful chef, and the news spread ten, ten, ten, hundred, and the customers in the entire store were boiling.

Pedestrians also stopped to watch the battle, and the zero pole attracted an unprecedented craze.

The taste of a city continues the city's most charming living traditions and propositions.

Pushing open the "door" of Xiamen, what comes to you, whether it is the stale smell of the old buildings, or the mellow tea fragrance brewed from the old tea stalls, or the salty seafood spread by the shelter, or even the human touch of pushing cups and changing lamps on the food stalls, finally found a footnote in the coffee street of Xidi.

Even if it is a hurried passer-by, a glimpse of it has been deeply left in the memory.

Coffee, along with tea and cocoa, is known as the world's three major beverage plants. You'll never understand why the people of Xiamen, who love light tastes, are so fond of coffee. But that's what coffee is, capturing a city.

Emperor Xu took the lead and took out the Royal Belgian coffee pot.

This Belgian pot, which combines a siphon coffee pot and a Moka pot, makes the whole show full of seesaw fun.

The Royal Belgian coffee pot combines several forces of nature: fire, steam, pressure, and gravity.

These make the operation of the Belgian Royal Coffee Pot feel more visible.

The whole brewing process is like a coffee maker staged in a stage play, because of the dazzling and gorgeous appearance, coupled with the full fun of gimmick, it greatly increases the score of coffee sensual romance.

This beautiful caffeine extraction process, combined with the fact that it is a beautiful work of art in its own right, makes it practical, ornamental and collectible in a way that no other coffee pot can match.

When the coffee dances with the Belgian pot, it's the brightest part of the night.

The whole process of making coffee is worth watching again and again, and it's amazing!

With the most perfect technique and the most classic coffee, Xu Di presented a cup of American latte with his skillful skills.

When the aroma of coffee and the sweetness of milk at 65°C waft through, everyone wants to take a sip.

Even Sikong Yao couldn't help but praise: "Your coffee skills are much better than your character." ”

Xu Di did not answer, but sketched the shape of spades on the surface of the latte.

Spades in poker were used in divination with the meaning of olive leaves, which represented peace, however in the twelfth century, this suit represented one of the main trades of the society at the time, meaning to represent the spear, which symbolized the military army.

The aggressive offensive implied, Sikong Yao felt it, and Emperor Xu was provoking.

This practice has caused dissatisfaction among many people.

On May 10, 1938, the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack on Xiamen, occupying Xiamen for 7 years and 4 months, which made the people of Xiamen extremely disgusted by this slightly aggressive symbol.

Wu You is different, he evaluates a cup of coffee very objectively, nodded contentedly, and said approvingly: "With the warm flavoring of milk, the original sweet and bitter coffee becomes smooth, sweet, luscious and rich." Even those who are not used to drinking coffee can hardly beat the delicious taste of latte. Not bad, not bad. ”

Emperor Xu threw a contemptuous look at Sikong Yao, which provoked Sikong Yao's competitiveness.

However, Meng Xiyao was still very worried, and said, "Sikong Yao, coffee shouldn't be a dessert, are you okay?" ”

Sikong Yao nodded, signaling Meng Xiyao not to worry, and at the same time said, "Don't worry, if the latte is a piece of dark chocolate, then I will use the toffee in the coffee to defeat him." ”

Sikong Yao boiled a pot of sugar, did not stir, turned off the heat, added butter, and used the residual temperature to heat.

During this period, the fresh milk is heated to 65 degrees Celsius and then whipped with vanilla extract to form milk foam.

The Italian coffee in the steam coffee pot was also brewed, and the spout of the pot emitted hot air.

Espresso, or espresso, is the essence of espresso. However, the translation is not very appropriate, as it means "extra fast" in Italian, and Espresso is the basis of all fancy coffees.

Regulating the syrup, cooking fresh milk, grinding coffee, the trinity, Sikong Yao grasps the time accurately and accurately, every second is not bad.

The moment the caramel is formed, the milk froth expands and the coffee is poured into the mug.

Everyone looked at this smooth operation, and they were so stupid for a while that they forgot to breathe.

100 ml of Italian coffee, 300 ml of fresh milk foam and 15 ml of caramel are brewed into a cup of sweet and fragrant caramel macchiato.

50 grams of ice cubes are also added, which makes the caramel macchiato taste more intense and delicate.

Macchiato means "imprint, branding" in Italian.

As the name suggests, the Caramel Macchiato symbolizes the mark of sweetness.

It is a mixture of milk and vanilla syrup, then milk foam, then coffee is poured in, and finally a grid of caramel is drizzled over the milk foam.

For those who want to enjoy the creamy milk foam with added sugar but don't want to give up the strong aroma of coffee, caramel macchiato may be the best choice.

Wu You couldn't help but praise: "The reason why many people like macchiato coffee is because of its sweetness, it is different from the thickness of mocha coffee, it is soft, like a piece of sugar, giving people a soft and gentle feeling, and the delicate milk foam and caramel are combined to be as delicate and smooth as floating clouds." So macchiato is usually a favorite of girls. Wonderful, beautiful lady, can I tell me, what shall I call you? ”

Looking at Wu You's love for it, everyone knew the result of this duel.

Sikong Yao smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, my name is Sikong Yao." ”

"Okay, lovely Ms. Sikong Yao." Wu You drank the caramel macchiato made by Sikong Yao, and then continued: "Now, I announce......

Wu You deliberately dragged out the end note, which made people's hearts beat faster.

The crowd held their breath, even though they already had a one-sided answer in their minds.

Sikong Yao naughtily snapped his fingers at the worried Meng Xiyao, and said, "What are you looking at, I've won, don't worry, look at his cup of coffee, there is still half of it left." ”

Meng Xiyao sighed softly, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't point it out, so he could only wish: "I hope so." ”

In the expectation of everyone, Wu You continued to say slowly: "The winner of this coffee uprising is undoubtedly Emperor Xu of the Zero Pole. ”

"What!" Sikong Yao and the people around him screamed.

Obviously, Wu You is in love with Sikong Yao's caramel macchiato like a treasure, but how could it be that Emperor Xu won in this result?

Everyone was confused and couldn't stop asking, and fierce arguments broke out in the crowd, probably all towards Sikong Yao's undoubted, Sikong Yao's caramel macchiato was more in line with the eyes of the masses than Xu Di's latte.

This answer obviously made the crowd extremely angry, and they rushed up to ask for an explanation for Sikong Yao.

The clerk at the top of the zero stopped them, so they scolded them from afar.

"Hey, red-haired, explain clearly!"

"Yes, did you cheat on the benefits of the zero pole!"

"Where's your tongue?"

Wu You spread his hands, calmly, and said leisurely: "What are you doing so excited, of course I will give you a satisfactory explanation." ”
