4. Business

Simply turning the closing on the door number turned over, and ido Cafe was open.

Miko Sanada sat by the window and read a book, with a cup of coffee made by Yushin Murakami beside her.

The slightly chilly spring breeze was blocked by the glass, leaving only the warm sun to shine into the house.

The temperature in the store rises, and Yu Murakami gradually warms up.

Kitagawa Tamako cleaned diligently.

After more than an hour, Yu Murakami was a little sleepy.

"Manager, why are there no customers?"

Miko Sanada explained: "The time when the guests come to the door is about one o'clock, and there are five or six o'clock in the evening, so you can read a book if you have nothing to do." ”

Murakami sighed, he came to work, so naturally it was impossible to carry a book with him.

glanced at Kitagawa Yuko, who was playing with her mobile phone, "Kitagawa, what are you looking at?" ”

"Ahh Tamako seemed to be frightened, and when she came back to her senses, she hurriedly handed the screen to Murakami Yu: "Senior, I'm watching the coffee making tutorial on Nico." ”

nico is a barrage website in the island country, and it is very famous.

Murakami unceremoniously took the phone and looked at it in his hand for a while.

"So-so." The tone is casual, obviously there is no emotion, but it makes people feel arrogant.

Yu Murakami is unaware.

It's quite rude to comment on someone else like this in an island country.

For example, if you compliment a professional singer on singing well, it will be taken as an insult.

In Yu Murakami's opinion, let alone a video, the professional singer said that he would spray it, how normal it is.

Miko Sanada, who was reading the book, shook her head helplessly, and had nothing to say about Yu Murakami's arrogance.

Kitagawa Tamako whispered: "Senior, the cat sauce who drinks coffee is the barista of the Blue Sea. ”

The cat sauce that drinks coffee is the ID of the video publisher, and the blue sea is probably a famous coffee shop.

Yu Murakami asked, "Are you famous?" ”

Kitagawa Tamako was a little puzzled, how could she not know the blue sea as a barista.

It's the best coffee shop in Tokyo, and it's a mecca for all baristas.

Being hired by the Blue Sea is the best proof of a barista's ability.

Although the coffee-drinking cat sauce is a newcomer who has just been admitted and is not a top barista, he is at least senior.

And in Murakami's mouth, he got a general evaluation.

Yu Murakami saw Kitagami Tamako's suspicious eyes, returned the phone to her, and said, "If you want to use a five-point system to evaluate, this person's level is only 3 points." ”

According to the system algorithm, it is probably just at the level of lv3.

His cooking experience is 33 experience points at Lv3, so it's okay to say that Lv3 is average?

Yu Murakami didn't feel anything wrong with his statement.

Miko Sanada couldn't listen to it anymore, and her good impression of Yu Murakami's promise to teach Tamako coffee-making skills just now disappeared: "Murakami-kun, the Blue Sea is the best coffee shop, do you say it's famous?" ”

The tone is already a bit rude, as a pure island country, he doesn't have a good impression of arrogant people.

"Maybe the seniors just don't care, Sister Miko, don't say that." Kitagawa Tamako eased the atmosphere.

Murakami was too lazy to explain that there was nothing to argue with these two laymen.

Fortunately, he still knew that he was an employee, so he didn't say it, otherwise he would have Miko Sanada to death.

Say that the owner of a coffee shop doesn't understand coffee?

Well, she doesn't understand, but you can't tell.

Seeing this atmosphere, Kitagawa Tamako was embarrassed to mention the matter of letting Murakami teach her again.

By noon, the first guest had finally arrived, a white-collar woman wearing a white shirt and a long black skirt.

"Miko, you've finally hired a new barista?"

Looks like a regular customer.

"Welcome, Miss Fukiyama."

"Tamako is cute again."

Tamako bowed her head shyly.

Jun Fukiyama sat down in front of the bar and was a little surprised to see Yu Murakami.

"Handsome guy, bring me a cup of black coffee."

"Okay."

Yu Murakami didn't talk nonsense either, and took out the ripe coffee beans that had been roasted a long time ago.

Most of the coffee beans purchased by Miko Sanada are of good quality, and the color, particle size, and shape are very good, saving Yu Murakami's time for secondary selection.

It's not about how knowledgeable she is, it's just about spending more money.

Buy the most expensive one.

Junzumi Fukiyama saw Yu Murakami's technique and was surprised: "Are you going to use traditional follicles?" ”

"Of course." Yu Murakami gave her a strange look: "Traditional follicular black coffee tastes the most mellow." ”

"It's not..."

Blowing Jun didn't know what to say.

Of course, she knows the benefits of traditional follicles, but it requires a lot of manual craftsmanship, and many baristas now use relatively simple siphon and electric methods.

She is a regular customer of ido Coffee Shop, and has experienced several baristas, none of which use traditional filters.

She was stunned, Yu Murakami had already started to make it.

Hold the kettle with precision so that the water flow remains round when it touches the coffee, and repeats from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside, so that the coffee is fully in contact with the water flow.

With the perfect water temperature of 92°C, the mellow aroma of coffee spreads around the bar for a while.

Jun Fukiyama remained quiet and watched intently as Yu Murakami moved.

Perfect, elegant, obviously wearing a warm blue apron, but like a nobleman.

Kitagawa Tamako steals the teacher on the side, and is also immersed in the production process of Yu Murakami.

She's just getting started, but she has a faint feeling in her heart that Murakami's Yuu ear rhythm is better than that of a cat sauce drinking coffee.

Could it be that Murakami's seniors' skills are really better than cat sauce?

The thought popped into her mind.

"Alright, enjoy."

Jun Fukiyama looked at the coffee in front of him like a pool of water, and gently stirred it with a spoon.

The aroma intensifies.

She couldn't help but close her eyes and sniff the mellow fragrance with her nose.

"Ah~"

I couldn't help but sigh in my mouth.

Wait for the coffee to cool down and take a sip.

The characteristic bitterness of coffee explodes on the taste buds.

But there is a subtle sweetness in this bitterness.

Against the backdrop of bitterness, this obviously very faint sweetness seems to be more and more sweet, and people can't help but keep asking for and tasting these slight sweetness.

Fukiyama Jun couldn't help but sigh again, "It's been a long time since I've drunk such refreshing black coffee, and last time I was a blind date in the Blue Sea." ”

"Huh?"

Miko Sanada and Tamako looked at her in surprise.

"Did Miss Fukiyama drink coffee in the Blue Sea?"

"Of course." Junya Fukiyama closed his eyes slightly and took another sip of coffee, as if recalling: "This taste is exactly the same as what I drank at that time." ”

Miko Sanada couldn't help but look at Yu Murakami a little, while Tamako had a little look of adoration.

Yu Murakami cleaned up the coffee pot and said, "Seihui 500 yen." ”

This price is slightly more expensive than the average convenience store coffee section, but considering the quality of the coffee beans used in the coffee shop, it is still very affordable overall.

Blowing Jun came back to his senses from the deliciousness of the coffee, "It's so cheap, a cup of the blue sea will cost at least a thousand yen." ”

Murakami shrugged and gestured that he was just a barista and that the price was not his business.

Junya Fukiyama just sighed that a small coffee shop like IDO really dared to put a price of 1,000 yen, and she estimated that she would say that it was black-hearted and not cost-effective.

Jun Fukiyama stayed in the store for half an hour.

"Handsome guy, what's your name?"

"Just call me Murakami."

"Murakami-kun, I'll come back tomorrow at noon, I'm looking forward to your coffee."

"Hmm."

Seeing Jun Fukiyama, who was a little reluctant, walking out of the coffee shop, Tamako packed up the coffee cup and asked curiously: "Senior Murakami, is the level of cat sauce really average?" ”

Murakami put 500 yen in the money box and said, "It's ordinary." ”

Tamako pursed her lips a little dissatisfied.

The level of cat sauce is definitely not low, and that is only explained by the fact that Murakami's predecessors have a high level.

Thinking of this, Tamako's mood suddenly improved again, and she ran to the pool to wash her cups.

At noon, seven or eight more guests came, most of them female white-collar workers who worked nearby, and there were also a few leisurely old ladies.

Although these people don't know much about coffee, they can also taste the unusual coffee made by Yu Murakami, at least it is much better than what they used to drink.

Coupled with Yu Murakami's handsomeness, they have said that they will come again tomorrow.
