Chapter 174: Coffee

"Coffee? What's that? ”

Chen Jinye looked at Hong Ling strangely, his eyes were full of doubts, Hong Ling glanced back at Chen Jinye and then laughed, "This coffee is an extremely rare drink", as she spoke, Hong Ling lifted the coffee liquid that had been brewed out on the table.

"Look", Hong Ling handed it to Chen Jinye, and then said: "Is this fragrance very strong!" ”。

Chen Jinye leaned in a little closer and sniffed it, and then remembered, "Could it be that it has been exuding a strong fragrance all along?" ”。

"Yes!"

Hong Ling excitedly raised the cup to her mouth and slowly put it in her mouth, "That's right, this is it!" ”。

Chen Jinye looked at Hongling with a strange face, looking like he didn't recognize her, "Ling'er, this is black material!" It's undrinkable! ”。

Hong Ling smashed her mouth, put the cup down unsatisfied, and explained: "Maybe no one drank it a few days ago, but it is a drink, and it also has a refreshing effect."

Chen Jinye looked at Hongling suspiciously, and said tangledly: "Where did you see that this is drinkable?" ”。

Hong Ling was stunned for a moment, and then slowly put the cup down, but she had already made up several versions of the story in her heart to tell Chen Jinye.

Hong Ling rolled her eyes slightly, and then slowly said to Chen Jinye: "This coffee, I saw it in a different chronicle, I originally thought that the records on the different chronicles were fake, but I didn't expect that there was really such a magical thing", after speaking, Hong Ling glanced at Chen Jinye with a little weakness, and then raised her cup to cover up and drank a few sips.

Chen Jinye squinted, slowly distanced himself from Hong Ling, and looked at her for a long time, Hong Ling was stared at uncomfortably, so he asked, "What are you doing looking at me like this?" ”。

Chen Jinye changed his posture and looked at Hongling with his cheeks, and said slowly: "I remember you told me that your real name is Hongling, not the real Liu Ling'er."

Hong Ling nodded hesitantly, and then said, "I...... It's called Hongling, but what does it have to do with coffee? ”。

"Actually, I wanted to ask you earlier, since you are not Liu Ling'er, why do you know so many strange things?"

Hong Ling paused slightly, her eyes blinked in a trance, and then she opened her mouth dryly and made a few gestures, and slowly swallowed her saliva, "This...... That's not Liu Ling'er, can't you know a lot of knowledge? ”。

Hong Ling pinched the teacup and played with it with her eyes, but she was in a difficult position, it was really a wrong decision to tell Chen Jinye a few days ago that she was not Liu Ling'er......

"Ling'er, where are you from?"

Chen Jinye's gentle words suddenly smashed a monstrous wave in Hong Ling's heart, Hong Ling looked at Chen Jinye with burning eyes, her eyes revealed a lot of uncertainty, Hong Ling bit her lip and slowly put the cup aside, "I...... From the Celestial Spectrum."

Chen Jinye slowly turned Hong Ling over and looked at Hong Ling seriously, "I know you are Hong Ling, not Liu Ling'er, I never care about these empty things, but I don't want you to hide it in front of me like this, no matter where you come from, you are the only one in my heart."

Chen Jinye's straight eyes looked at Hong Ling at a loss, and after a while, Hong Ling came to her senses from the afterglow of his eyes, and said slowly: "Since, since, since you said that my origin and identity don't matter, then why bother to cling to my identity for a moment?" ”。

After that, Hong Ling broke free of Chen Jinye's confinement with a little force, and then turned her face in another direction, seeing Hong Ling like this, Chen Jinye knew that she would not tell her all about herself, Chen Jinye lowered his head and smiled helplessly, and said slowly: "I should know so."

Chen Jinye's lost voice fell into Hong Ling's ears, as if she had cut him off from herself with her own hands, for some reason, Hong Ling felt very panicked in her heart, she turned around and hugged Chen Jinye, silently......

Chen Jinye was taken aback by Hong Ling's package, almost subconsciously, Chen Jinye hugged Hong Ling back, and when he reacted, Chen Jinye could only murmur helplessly: "Ling'er...... What am I going to do with you......".

"Chen Jinye, you know me, I don't want to say, it's useless how you force me"

Chen Jinye smiled stupidly, and said with a slow smile: "I should know."

After a while, Hongling slowly pushed Chen Jinye away for half a minute, and then withdrew her gaze to the coffee on the table, and then said excitedly: "Chen Jinye, do you want to taste it again?" ”。

Chen Jinye subconsciously frowned, Hong Ling looked at his appearance, and laughed, "Hahaha-don't worry, I will definitely make it good and drink it for you this time!" ”。

After speaking, Hong Ling patted Chen Jinye's shoulder, got up and ran out, Chen Jinye looked at Hong Ling's departing back blankly, and was very confused.

Looking back, Chen Jinye tentatively put the brown coffee liquid that Hongling had just brewed into his nose and sniffed it, and then carefully took a sip, and suddenly his face changed and the liquid in his mouth was spat out.

"Is this really drinking?!"

Chen Jinye shook his head helplessly, slowly put down the cup, and then got up and went out to the courtyard to stay, the hall was now full of the smell of 'coffee', he really couldn't stand it, although it was fragrant itself......

After a while, Hong Ling came back from the direction of the backyard, only to see her with two maids, the maids had two big bowls in their hands, Hong Ling stepped forward to talk to Chen Jinye with great interest, "Why did you come out?" ”。

Chen Jinye subconsciously glanced at the hall and said against his will: "It's just to come out and relax."

Seeing Chen Jinye's small movements, Hong Ling suddenly came to her senses, remembering that he had just drunk tea and vomited, and now it must be the most disgusting thing is the smell, so he waved his hand at Chen Jinye intimately and said, "Then you can stay outside first, and wait until I get it and come out to find you."

A smile tugged at the corner of Chen Jinye's mouth, and he said happily: "Listen to Ling'er's orders!" ”。

Hong Ling pursed her lips and smiled, and then took the maid to the hall, she instructed the maid to bring down the unpalatable tea and teapot of Fang Cai, and by the way ordered a stick of sandalwood, under the edification of sandalwood, after a while, the smell of tea in the hall was dispelled, and at this time, the table was also cleaned up by the maids.

Hongling took the tray from the maid's hand and put it on the table, she just ran out in high spirits, looking for these two things in the kitchen, a bowl of pure milk and a bowl of white sugar.

Because there is no sugar cube in this era, it can only be replaced by white sugar, as for milk, Hongling hesitated for a moment whether to send it away, and then thought that it would take too much time to send it, and that kind of fancy should not come, anyway, the taste is almost the same.

Hong Ling put the coffee powder into the flat gauze like a cloud, and tied the edge of the gauze to the edge of the bowl with a small rope, and then slowly filled the bowl with a kettle.

After removing the gauze from the bowl, Hongling carefully poured the coffee from the large bowl into the clean kettle, and then poured a small half cup from the kettle into the teacup.

After that, Hong Ling poured a small half cup of warm milk into the teacup, Hong Ling slowly stirred it with chopsticks, and then put half a spoonful of sugar into the cup, until the sugar was all melted in the cup, Hong Ling put the coffee in her nose and smelled it, and immediately felt that the sweetness was overflowing......

Hong Ling looked at the work in her hand with satisfaction, and then looked at Chen Jinye outside the door, the corners of her mouth curled proudly, and then put the coffee in her hand into the tray, got up and brought it over.

Chen Jinye, who was outside the door, had actually been secretly watching Hongling tinkering in the hall, although the strong smell of 'tea' had long since dissipated, he always had palpitations, thinking of his taste buds, and couldn't help it.

Seeing Hongling coming out of the house, Chen Jinye's first reaction was: This is bad!

However, Chen Jinye still has nowhere to hide, after all, he has to bite the bullet, Chen Jinye sighed slightly, and then greeted him, "Ling'er is done?" ”。

Hong Ling smiled excitedly, then put the tray on the stone table in the pavilion one after another, and then carefully brought the coffee out to Chen Jinye's side, "You come and smell it first!" ”。

Chen Jinye's heart sank and couldn't sink anymore in his stomach, in line with the principle that I don't go to hell, who will go to hell, he took it from Hong Ling's hand in one go, and put a small bite into his mouth without thinking about it, Rao didn't even have time to taste it, and swallowed it with anger.

When he swallowed it, Chen Jinye eased up a little, the cotton smoothness in his mouth was a taste he had never experienced, and after that bite fell into his stomach, it seemed that there was still some sweetness back in his mouth, which ......

Chen Jinye glanced at Hongling in surprise, and then immediately took another sip, this time he tasted it carefully, this taste......

It's just amazing......

Seeing the look of surprise in Chen Jinye's eyes, Hong Ling immediately raised her neck proudly, slowly wrapped her hands and paced in the direction of the hall.

"Ling'er, this tea ......"

"It's coffee!"

Chen Jinye hurriedly stepped forward and changed his words: "Yes, yes, coffee, this coffee originally tasted like this!" ”。

"Is it good?"

"Delicious! It's so delicious! ”

Hongling slowly sat down in the hall, and Chen Jinye sat down in place with a look of surprise, "How did this come about?" ”。

Hongling pointed to the sugar and milk on the table, and said slowly: "It is made with these, many people can't accept its own taste, but it is actually okay to drink it directly."

Hongling slowly poured herself a cup of pure coffee and took a sip, "You won't like its original taste."
