The café's operating room and the entire lobby are open, with a bar that symbolically separates it. So Zheng Xiuyan sat on the side and could see the man's every move.

The man walked to the operation room, first washed his hands carefully, then put on his mask and began to make coffee.

Looking at the man's skillful movements, Jung so-yeon finally admitted the fact that the man in front of her, who didn't look like a chef, was the owner of this coffee shop.

As if curious about the man's method of making coffee, Zheng Xiuyan got up and went to the high chair in front of the bar. The man was not affected by Zheng Xiuyan and continued to operate skillfully.

Espresso, an espresso machine, is an espresso machine that emulsifies and dissolves the oil and gum in the coffee beans under high pressure during the brewing process, and the essence in the beans is completely extracted by pressure, making the coffee brewed more concentrated, with better taste and aroma.

Although Zheng Xiuyan didn't understand the principle of this machine, looking at the natural operation of the man in front of her, she subconsciously felt that this coffee should be delicious.

After a while, the man took two cups of coffee and placed one of them in front of Zheng Xiuyan.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get milk and sugar, this cup of coffee is very fragrant, but I'm sure you won't like the way it tastes now." After speaking, without waiting for Zheng Xiuyan to answer, the man turned around and walked up the stairs. Probably to indicate that the second floor is not open to the public, the staircase is set inside the bar.

The 14-year-old girl is in a rebellious period, even Zheng Xiuyan, who has many friends and a good personality, is not immune, seeing the man walking up the stairs, the little girl secretly took a coffee spoon and put it in her mouth. Suddenly, a thick bitter taste filled the taste buds, and the little face was wrinkled. But when I heard the sound of going down the stairs from upstairs, I immediately pretended to be indifferent. It's just that the corners of his eyes twitched, and he obviously couldn't adapt to the bitter taste.

The man walked down the stairs and swept his gaze over Zheng Xiuyan's face, as if he hadn't found anything, but when he put down the fresh milk and sugar cubes, he said softly: "Although it's bitter now, the mellow feeling will come up after a while." Since you have drunk pure coffee liquid, let's try it. After speaking, he didn't glance at Zheng Xiuyan, and turned around to take cotton gloves to get snacks in the oven.

Jung so-yeon grimaced at the man's back, and then rolled her eyes to express her displeasure. But the hand that reached for the sugar cube retracted. Sure enough, just like the man said, after the bitterness passed, the rich aroma of coffee suddenly emerged, although Zheng Xiuyan is not the kind of person who wants to have coffee every day, but since she was a child, her favorite place to go to the café can be regarded as the number one in the row, and she has drunk a lot of various coffees, but after living for 14 years, it is the first time she has found such fragrant coffee.

"The aroma comes up, it's specially roasted with Mandheling beans, you can try it again, this coffee will have a silky feel on the tongue, and if you taste it carefully, there is a faint earthy aroma. Although I don't like coffee, for coffee alone, I love this Mandheling coffee bean more than the Blue Mountains. The man continued the movements in his hands while explaining to Zheng Xiuyan.

Hearing the man's words, Zheng Xiuyan drank a little more coffee, after the man's explanation, it seemed that she didn't feel so bitter when she drank it for the first time, she tasted the taste of the coffee liquid, and sure enough, there was a hint of aromatic taste, and the silky feeling of the coffee liquid when it swept the tip of the tongue, I felt so anxious, but as a bitter coffee bean, Zheng Xiuyan still couldn't stand the bitter taste of the original solution. The little face was wrinkled again.

"By the way, do you have any food taboos, for example, what you don't like to eat, or what allergies you are allergic to?"

"Cucumbers, pumpkins, watermelons, all these kinds of things I can't eat, allergies."

"Understood."

As he spoke, the man took out his snacks and placed the cookies he had made in the morning, and then took out a sealed keg from under the bar. A sweep of red jam was served with a wooden spoon and placed in a delicate small dish with a partition in the middle, and the whipped cream was placed in the other half of the small plate. put it in front of Zheng Xiuyan together.

"Okay, all the food you can eat today is here, this little snack is a traditional British food, called scones, originally enjoyed in the UK as a tea and black tea, but now the black tea has not arrived, but it is also good with coffee, this is rose sauce, this is cream, which one you like depends on your taste." I don't need to introduce this, Cookie. Come on, try it. As for the coffee, I won't mix it for you, so let's try to mix it up and feel it like yourself. After the introduction one by one, the man did not sit down and share with Zheng Xiuyan, but picked up another cup of coffee and walked to a table by the window, which was full of books.

"Xie Luxie, uncle." Looking at the delicate snacks and biscuits in front of her, Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but move her index fingers, but she still politely said thank you before starting. As for the uncle in the back, it's completely according to feelings.

Indeed, the man is burly, at least 180 in height, broad shoulders, coupled with the upright temperament on his body, a calm appearance, and excellent cooking skills. It doesn't look like a young man in his twenties can have, at least in Zheng Xiuyan's cognition, she wouldn't believe that a 20-year-old kid can do this. And the thing that made him confirm that the man was an uncle the most was that this uncle didn't add any ingredients to the coffee at all, and he drank the kind of original liquid that Zheng Xiuyan couldn't stand it.

Called uncle, the man paused while holding the coffee cup, then sighed slightly, and then continued his movements, without justifying anything. Maybe it was because he didn't care, maybe he didn't want to debate the issue with a 14.5-year-old girl, but he acquiesced to the title anyway. If he knew that Lu Dao was this time, he did not defend himself, and as a result, the entire 5.6-year-old children who were 5.6 years younger than him called him uncle, I wonder if he would regret that he did not explain immediately.

Zheng Xiuyan didn't notice the movements of the "uncle", because at this moment, her mind was all on the food, and according to her previous habit, she put three spoonfuls of condensed milk and a sugar cube in the coffee. Stir well, then pick up the cookie and taste it first. The taste is no different from other cookies, but compared to the kind of cookies sold on the market, this cookie is obviously more fragrant, and it is not as sweet and greasy as most cookies, but has a rich aroma with a little sweetness, which will be great as a snack.

After tasting the cookies, Zheng Xiuyan had greater expectations for the scones in front of her, she first used the fruit scones to dip a little rose sauce, looked at the chopped fruit flesh on the scones, and took a big bite directly with her small mouth, the palm-sized face was full of surprise, the taste of the scones was a little sticky, but it would not stick to the teeth, and after chewing for a while, the mouth would be full of fruit and the fragrance of roses, which was very attractive. After eating the rose sauce, Zheng Xiuyan dipped in a little more cream, and put the remaining half of the scones in her hand into her mouth, but another taste gave her a big surprise, after swallowing the food in her mouth, she drank a sip of fragrant coffee, wow, full of happiness.

After a while, Zheng Xiuyan finished eating the four scones on the plate, four cakes and four flavors, the fruit is her favorite, and the raisins and cream feel good to eat, and the cheese and rose sauce are very delicious, the last one is actually salted meat, according to the uncle's acceptance, the salted meat can be eaten directly, although the taste is good, but in terms of Zheng Xiuyan's taste, it is still the most delicious fruit flavor.

The scones are not very large, and their size is only slightly larger than the area of the average men's watch. But even so, the four cakes filled Zheng Xiuyan's little belly, and after drinking the coffee, she couldn't hold anything anymore. But for a 14-year-old girl, the temptation of snacks is irresistible no matter what, so looking at the "best snack" cookies in front of her, she puffed out her mouth depressedly. Because she is really reluctant from the bottom of her heart.
