Chapter 8 Failure is the mother of success
said that it was Jinse who invited guests, and it was Zhou Zimu who paid in the end, who told him to pay his salary. And someone is in debt to save money. Qian Bao expressed strong dissatisfaction with being left to watch the store every time.
"I'll take you next time." Jin Se repeatedly assured Young Master Qian.
Closing the door early, Qian Bao saw that Jin Se mysteriously took a bag of things into the kitchen. He wanted to follow, but was shut out by Jinse. "Cut, what's the big deal. Don't look at it! He shouted disapprovingly outside the door.
It was also the first time she had made coffee, and she had to pay her full attention in order not to be distracted. Coffee used to be either instant Nescafe or store-bought.
What if you only have coffee beans at home and no other utensils?
Ancient method of grinding beans! Jinse found a stone mortar for pounding in the kitchen, grabbed a large handful and put the coffee beans in it. Carefully mash all of them into powder at once. Add the ground powder to the water and put it in a pot and bring to a simmer.
She took another large bowl and spread a piece of clean gauze on top of it. Pour the brewed coffee into it and strain it. When the temperature cooled down a little, Jin Se gave it a try.
Well, it's so bitter. It's hard to swallow at all.
In desperation, she had to try again, and failed several times in a row, and Jin Se was already a little disheartened.
"Shopkeeper Jinse, are you not done yet? It's dark, rest, I'm so sleepy that I can't open my eyes! Seeing that Jin Se hadn't come out for a long time, Qian Bao came out to call her.
Lighting a lamp, Jin Se said to the outside world: "You go to sleep first, I haven't done it yet." Helplessly, Qian Bao had to go to rest by himself.
Failure is a successful mom! Looking at the small number of coffee beans in his hand, Jin Se sighed: "Come on, try again!" ”
She cheered herself up and started a new round of attempts.
After the night, Qian Bao got up and was about to ask Jin Se to make him breakfast, but found that Jin Se was not in the room.
When he came to the kitchen, Jin Se was lying on the board next to the stove and fell asleep. She also had several bowls of brown water in her hand.
Qian Bao leaned in and sniffed it, what is this strange? He took a bold try.
It's bitter, it's hard to drink, it can't be medicine, right?
Fortunately, he didn't drink much, so he hurriedly poured himself a glass of water and rinsed his mouth. It's not a toss to make this one overnight.
After a good night's sleep, Jin Se's spirits were much better. She is very happy with her results. After a night of hard work, she managed to make the finished coffee.
With full joy, she wants to give the first cup of coffee she successfully made to Zhou Zimu to drink.
It turned out that she wanted to give Qian Bao a try, but the latter didn't want to drink it again.
"It's hard to drink to death, but you still spare the master." Qian Bao shook his head and ran out quickly.
"I don't know the goods, this thing is the spiritual drink of many people." Jin Se didn't care.
She gave herself a good look and went out. The prefect's yamen of Yangcheng is in the north of the city, and Jin Se successfully found the county government without any detours.
Standing in front of the bulletin board of the yamen, she stopped a young catcher who was about to return to the yamen.
"Excuse me. I'm looking for Zhou Zimu to catch him quickly, can you help me call him out? ”
The young catcher looked at Jin Se curiously, and then nodded with a smile: "You wait." ”
After he entered, he quickly found Zhou Zimu in the yamen.
"Brother Zimu, someone is looking for her outside the yamen, it's a girl." The young catcher quipped with a wink.
Zhou Zimu came out, and Jin Se was studying the bulletin board next to the yamen. He was a little surprised, he didn't expect Jin Se to take the initiative to come to the yamen to find him.
"Miss Jinse, what's the matter?" He stepped forward and shouted.
Jin Se turned his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I've made coffee and brought it to you to drink." ”
Taking the cup in Jin Se's hand, Zhou Zimu took a sip, it tasted pretty good. It's bitter, but it's exactly the taste he likes. He took several sips in a row: "It tastes good." ”
Hearing Zhou Zimu's words, Jin Se became more confident in the finished coffee: "It's good if you like to drink it." "But ordinary people may not be able to drink so bitter, you have to add milk or some sugar." Zhou Zimu suggested. Jin Se nodded: "Well, okay." ”
Zhou Zimu wanted to go back to the yamen, but Jin Se handed over the coffee and didn't stay long. "Then I'll go." She smiled and said goodbye to Zhou Zimu. The latter smiled back mildly: "Be careful on the road." "Well, go get busy!" Jin Se bowed his hand, turned and ran away.
She wanted to hurry back to the tavern to make coffee, and this time she would definitely make a fortune with it.
By the way, I also want to give a cup to the blonde man on West Street, after all, the raw materials are provided by the other party.
Jin Se left some coffee beans to plant in his backyard, if he could grow them himself. In the future, you don't have to work hard to find raw materials by yourself. It's fun to think about.
She made a batch of coffee as a new product, and since the number of coffee beans is not much, she only made ten cups out today. She wrote a sign of coffee and hung it out, and customers who came to the tavern to inquire about new products came to inquire.
"Coffee? What is it? A man dressed as a scholar looked curiously at the ghost drawing talisman written by Jin Se.
"New to our store, do you want to try it?" Qian Bao saw that it was a newcomer and stepped forward to greet him.
A cup of coffee for 30 Wen is really not cheap, but the scholar came to buy milk tea on purpose, and he heard his classmates say that the milk tea in this house is rich in taste, sweet and delicious. Since it's new, my classmates must have drunk it yet, and they can show off when they go back.
The scholar happily paid for the first cup of coffee sold in a tavern.
He took a pleasant sip, then frowned. Heart, what kind of strange taste is this, so bitter. The good guy next to him also asked him about the taste, and he had to answer truthfully: "It's so bitter that it's hard to swallow." ”
Hearing him say this, the people who were originally going to buy a cup and try it immediately rested.
"You don't know, this is made from the coffee cherries of Yuelan Country. The characteristic of this substance is that it is bitter and mellow, and the coffee cherries have a refreshing and refreshing effect. In Yuelan country, some people use this thing to soak in water. Jin Se came out and introduced.
She brought a tray to the scholar with milk and sugar on it: "If this boy is not used to drinking, you can try adding milk or sugar, it will be better after adjusting the taste." The scholar tentatively added milk and a lot of sugar to the coffee, and took another sip. The bitterness is suppressed a lot, at least it tastes better than at the beginning.
The advent of coffee did not help Jinse's business, and he sold several cups in a day, but those who drank it could not accept it. Pork Rong didn't listen to Lao Yu's advice and still bought a cup.
As soon as he took a sip, he spit it out, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Bah, Jinse girl, you sell such a bad thing for 30 Wen, isn't this a pit of money!" The water tastes better than this. ”
"If you don't like to drink, don't drink it." Qian Bao knew that this thing was not delicious, but Jin Se stayed up all night to develop and worked hard to make it, and he was buried so much that he was upset for Jin Se.
"Stinky boy, what are you talking about, looking for a fight?" Pork Rong originally wanted to correct the name of Jin Se, but he didn't expect this thing to be so unpalatable.
"You've beaten the master." Wheel fight, Qian Bao was not afraid.
Seeing that the two of them had a tendency to fall out, Jin Se hurriedly pulled Qian Bao away: "Uncle Rong, I'm sorry, I'll refund you the coffee money." I'll make you another cup of milk tea, don't be angry. ”
"You don't need money, and it's not easy for you to make money." After Pork Rong took a cup of milk tea. Well, it's still milk tea that tastes good.
The sale of coffee was even more difficult than Jin Se imagined, and she had to drink the remaining coffee in the store alone.
The next day, however, her tavern welcomed a special guest.
