Chapter 181: Traces of Qualitative Change

After sending Chen Zhibao away, Zhou Li returned to a state of idleness, Li Zijin couldn't stand him sitting next to him and intentionally or unintentionally aimed his eyes at some sensitive places on his body, so he drove him to the back kitchen and asked him to help.

As a result, Zhou Li moved a small bench and sat in the back kitchen, looking lazily at the young and beautiful waiter girls coming in and out with dinner plates, still doing nothing.

The boss personally went into battle to supervise the work, and the efficiency of the employees below has also improved a lot, they are busy coming in and out, with a serious expression, and Zhou Li can't intervene if he wants to help.

He had been watching it for several days, and there was nothing in the kitchen that was originally a little fresh that interested him, and after being bored for a long time, he finally found something interesting.

Curiously sitting behind the bar, he watched as the waiter expertly took the coffee from the coffee machine, and then poured a layer of milk foam into the milk bowl with a slender mouth.

The white milk foam flows into the latte and spreads...... Under the delicate technology, it is transformed into various patterns, which is full of artistic beauty.

After Zhou Li watched quietly beside him for a long time, he asked a little embarrassedly, "What kind of name is this?" ”

As a result, the waitress girl who was concentrating on work in front was frightened, her hand shook, and she almost dropped the latte in her hand to the ground. After reacting, she replied a little shyly: "Coffee latte art......"

"Oh." Zhou Li nodded and signaled: "You continue, continue." I'll just look at it. ”

I don't know why, the girl with a red face nodded and continued to give another cup of latte art, but this time her hands were always a little shaky, and she almost turned the kitty that the guest asked for into Garfield...... Boss, what is this for...... Is it ...... to come over so suddenly? The girl's mind has been slowly occupied by the three big words of 'unspoken rules', and she is engaged in a hard ideological struggle.

When she was working in another coffee shop, she was rubbed a lot of oil by her manager, but fortunately, she was clean and self-conscious, even if she quit her job and changed jobs...... But this one is different!

She glanced back quietly, and her face began to flush againβ€”well, it looked pretty handsome from that angle.

is handsome, has a good temper, and will not deduct his salary if he accidentally drops a plate; When talking to people, the voice is also very good; And young and golden, if he wants that or something...... What should I do?

Do you want to do it half-way? But, if he wants to rub oil here...... Fortunately, there are fewer people in the store, otherwise the customers in line will be complaining.

Zhou Li didn't notice that the girl in front of her was thinking crankily, and she watched it with relish, and the distance was closer.

So the girl's ideological struggle became more and more intense, and she didn't realize that the coffee latte art in her hand had changed from Garfield to a group of Garfield, and she was making up for it fiercely, until a cough sounded in front of the bar.

"Ahem!"

Li Zijin didn't know when he had appeared in front of the bar, and glanced at Zhou Li with deep meaning, which made the waiter girl who was in a state of couldn't help but shudder, and finally came to her senses, and was sad in this tragic reality.

How did you forget? Although the boss is handsome, rich, and has a good temper, he already has a girlfriend...... She explained in a panic: "Jing, manager, I ......"

"It's okay, you can get on working." Li Zijin waved his hand generously, and then glared at Zhou Li again: "Let you help, don't disturb other people's work, okay?" ”

"What's going on?" The culprit unconsciously showed an innocent expression: "This is very interesting, I'm stealing the teacher." ”

"Oh?" When Li Zijin heard his explanation, he couldn't help but laugh: "How did you learn?" ”

Zhou Liman nodded seriously: "I have a little experience." ”

Li Zijin's smiling expression stiffened...... How dare you blow it!

"Then you can bring me a latte with latte."

She smiled and sat on the chair in front of the bar, waiting for Zhou Li with anticipation: "Just come with the pattern." ”

The mouth is hard, you continue to have a hard mouth...... You think latte art is easy to learn, right? It's self-taught in three minutes, right?

"Okay." Zhou Li smiled honestly and nodded seriously, which made Li Zijin's understanding of the thickness of his face go to another level...... Half a minute later, Li Zijin looked at the coffee in front of him expressionlessly, as well as the twisted patterns on it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "This, what is it?" ”

In fact...... It doesn't need to be explained to understand that on top of the coffee, the white milk foam floats quietly, and the fine streaks form a very cartoonish, but unappetizing Q version of the stool...... "Mimosa." Zhou Li smiled innocently: "Isn't it like that?" ”

Like your sister!

Li Zijin worked hard to hold back the roar that he was about to blurt out.

Emptied the coffee in his hand into the garbage basket with an expressionless face, Li Zijin finally understood how naΓ―ve he was when he had expectations for Zhou Li just now.

Although this guy is sometimes very reliable, most of the time, he is still very unreliable!

Seeing that Zhou Li was seriously grabbing the 'milk bowl' and latte needle behind the bar, constantly trying to draw a lump of Q version of stool on the surface of the coffee...... Li Zijin sighed helplessly.

Forget it, let him go, it's better than him sitting next to him and constantly looking at himself with that kind of panic - he's the boss anyway, and the little material wasted is also his money, and he doesn't care about it himself...... Li Zijin rubbed his eyebrows with some distress, and instructed the waiter in front of the bar: "Be careful not to serve the coffee he has spoiled to the guests, he can play as he wants." ”

"Oh...... Good, okay. The girl who hadn't reacted nodded dumbly.

Just behind her, Zhou Li was still persevering in ruining the 'coffee art', and soon, no one was paying attention to what he was doing, and he couldn't notice the faint cyan light in his eyes.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Li casually muddied the blurred pattern on the coffee, poured the coffee into his stomach, and picked up a latte that had been made from the side again, grabbed the latte needle and the 'milk bowl'.

This time, he didn't rush to start, but silently shook the milk trough full of milk foam in his hand, and gently turned the slender latte needle in his other hand.

Silently recalling the images remaining in his memory, the cyan rainbow light in his eyes began to slowly rotate, and he tried to grasp the glimmer of sensation he had captured in the illusion this morning.

Unconsciously, the cyan rainbow light in his eyes converged and swirled again, turning into a faint vortex in his focused memories.

In Zhou Li's memory, the movements that had just been carried out in the hands of the waiter reappeared, becoming clearer and clearer, and the world was rapidly moving away, until in the end, all that was left in front of his eyes was the pair of dexterous palms, and the wonderful patterns that appeared in the coffee.

Silently, his right hand tilted slowly, and a layer of white milk foam flowed out of the slender spout, spilling into the coffee cup with his slight shaking, and in the subtle shaking, the diffused milky white converged into a flowing pattern.

It was like a video recorder repeating the scene just now, and the actions of the waiter not long ago appeared again in Zhou Li's hands, without the slightest mistake or change, and it accurately copied the technology that required a long time and painstaking effort to achieve.

Until the end, the latte needle in Zhou Li's hand gently crossed the pattern on the surface of the coffee, and the slender needle cut through the milky white milk foam, which affected the flow of mellow coffee, and the pattern in the cup was instantly fixed.

Just on the brown surface of the coffee, two intertwined mimosa leaves slowly emerge, revealing a subtle and delicate gesture between the white milk foam and the coffee.

Unaware of the low exclamation from the waiter beside him who had only demonstrated him once, Zhou Li just stared blankly at the pattern in the cup, and the cyan swirls in his eyes slowly swirled.

After a long time, he whispered, "I seem to ...... I see. ”

He finally found the 'qualitative change' that had occurred after the 'Green Pupil' was promoted to the second stage.

After just watching the 'latte art' demonstration, you will be able to fully understand the techniques involved in the subtle movements, and you can easily reproduce them yourself.

Even the secret technique that can be used by Onikiri can be used in the 'second stage of force' and requires the strength of the whole body to be precisely coordinated, and it can be fully mastered as many times as if it has been practiced.

Capture information with your eyes, analyze it with your ability, and grasp the essence of it almost instinctively, and then develop a perfect reproduction...... It's like copying!

Slowly putting down the things in his hand, Zhou Li looked at the latte art in the cup a little sluggishly, trying to suppress his urge to laugh.

This kind of ability application is for myself who has no cheats but can't understand it at this stage...... It's just a great change that I don't know how to describe!

After a long time, he finally pressed the impulse in his heart, and raised his finger to the waiter girl next to him who had not yet reacted: "Shhh, keep it secret for me." ”

Seeing him look so serious, the girl who was in a daze couldn't help but blush again, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Ma'am, do you need coffee?"

Zhou Li slowly put the mocha in front of Li Zijin, who was looking down at the book in front of the window: "Handmade, welcome to taste." ”

Li Zijin raised his head in surprise, glanced at the two delicate mimosa patterns in the cup, glanced at him in disbelief, and quickly reacted: "Hey, don't use other people's efforts to pretend to be your own." ”

"Huh? Is it seen? ”

Zhou Li smiled disapprerovingly, sat down opposite her, and pushed the coffee cup in his hand over: "Don't you want to taste it?" I really did it myself. ”

"It's strange to believe you." Li Zijin, who picked up the cup, glanced at him: "Forget it, I don't care about you anymore, I believe you will be good once." ”

Zhou Li could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, and sighed helplessly in his heart: In this world, to be honest, no one believes it.

After looking left and right, he realized that there was no one on the table in the corner, and the talisman that had been sitting there had disappeared.

"What about that person? Let's go. ”

"Well, just now, I answered a phone call and left." Li Zijin nodded, looked out the window, pointed to the figure not far away and said, "Isn't that?" ”

Zhou Li looked out the window in the distance, and when he found the back of the talisman, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

For some reason, he felt a hint of sadness and resoluteness in the lonely back of the man, and he completely lost the usual laughing appearance.

"That guy...... What's wrong? He muttered under his breath.
