In the early morning of the second morning, when Li Hao yawned and came to the Butterfly Love Flower Cafe, there were already several figures standing at the door, and after seeing Li Hao, they greeted one after another.

"Store manager!"

"Master!"

"Well, good morning, everyone!" Li Hao said with a smile.

Opening the door of the store and walking into the store, Li Hao turned his head to a few people: "Let's sit down first, by the way, have you eaten breakfast?" ”

Except for Guli Ayimu, everyone else sat down stiffly, and hurriedly said, "Eat." ”

"Eat, well, it's okay, sit down first, I'll make you a cup of coffee." Li Hao walked into the back kitchen and began to tinker.

Guli Ayimu was decorated in the back, looking at Li Hao at the door of the back kitchen, Li Hao seemed to have a sense, and said while brewing coffee: "Be the door god there, come in if you want to come in." ”

"Hee-hee~" Gu Li Ayimu smiled, jumped to Li Hao's side in three steps and two steps, leaned down, stared at the hand-brewing pot motionlessly with big blue eyes, smelling the fragrance of the coffee during extraction, and couldn't help but say: "Wow, it smells good." ”

"Get so close, I'm not responsible for my boiling kettle poured in your face later." Li Hao threatened.

"Slightly~" Guli Ayimu stuck out his tongue, stood up straight and said expectantly: "Master, the coffee you brewed is so fragrant, teach me." ”

Li Hao said while adjusting the water injection speed of the water flow: "There is still so much heat outside, I will teach, you want to open the stove." ”

"Hehe, I'm not interested in learning, I can't wait to learn, and I'm a close disciple of Master, so it's normal to enjoy privileges."

"Want to enjoy the privileges?"

"Hmm!"

"Then the cleaning of the kitchen will be handed over to you, this is a major task related to food hygiene and safety, and the responsibility is heavy, I don't worry about other people, you have to complete it well and not slack off, I am optimistic about you."

“…… Master, you are so fresh and refined, so shameless, you really deserve to be a man who can capture the hearts of the two masters...... Ahh ”

Li Hao's index finger tapped on Gul Ayimu's smooth forehead, and warned: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk blindly, do you really think that I don't dare to hang the banner out?" Do you believe it or not, if I call me and go down to the school toilet tomorrow, you can put a notice that you have a mole on your buttocks? ”

"I believe it! I was wrong, Father, I didn't look at the people around me, and I couldn't hear it from people outside......"

"Did you know that there are two idioms called "Habits are hard to change" and "Walls have ears?"

"I see! I'm definitely not going to mess up in the future! Gul Ayimu swore solemnly, "If I mention the matter of Master, you have two masters, I will ...... Ahh ”

"Bring the coffee out!" Li Hao commanded sharply.

"Oh......" Guli Ayimu obediently went out of the back kitchen with coffee.

Li Hao walked out and said to the students who were sitting in their seats nervously: "I'm really embarrassed to call everyone over early in the morning, let's have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself." ”

I took a few sips of coffee and took a few sips, and my eyes reflected a light of surprise.

"How's it taste?" Li Hao asked with a smile.

"It's very, it's delicious." A boy said.

"It's a lot better than the single coffee I used to go to Starbus Pants." Another girl also spoke out in admiration.

Li Hao smiled and continued to ask, "Do you have experience in drinking coffee, or, do you like to drink coffee?" ”

"I drink it occasionally, but it's all instant coffee."

"I rarely drink it."

"I sometimes go to Starbucks with my friends to buy a Frappuccino, I don't drink a lot of single-origin coffee, and I don't like the bitterness of the coffee very much."

Li Hao nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you have coffee experience or whether you like coffee or not, it doesn't matter, because many baristas don't like coffee themselves, but it doesn't prevent them from bringing delicious coffee to customers." ”

"And our store does not require you to become a professional barista, because after all, you are part-time and have limited energy, but you must learn to make a qualified cup of coffee, at least to satisfy the layman's customers."

"For the next 10 years, you will be trained to learn how to make coffee and desserts, and of course, the training is open-ended, and you are free to come and practice in your free time."

"Let's learn how to make a good cup of coffee." Li Hao got up and led everyone to the back kitchen.

"We buy green coffee beans in our store, so before making coffee, we roast the green coffee beans, and this process is achieved through this roaster." Li Hao pointed to the roaster.

"Roasting is divided into light roasting, micro roasting, medium roasting, medium roasting, dark roasting, extremely dark roasting, Italian roasting, different roasting degrees, the flavor of coffee is also different, the detailed operation and Ming I will print it out later, now learn the coffee production process first."

"There are many ways to make coffee, such as drip filtration, siphon pots, Moka pots, French filter presses, etc., while we use the drip method, also known as pour-over coffee." Li Hao introduced the coffee beans into the grinder, "First of all, the grinding of coffee, this process is also very particular, and the flavor of coffee is also very different depending on the thickness of the coffee." ”

"For the sake of explanation, I'll grind it at will."

Li Hao put the ground coffee powder on the electronic scale and explained: "The most important thing in brewing coffee is the ratio of powder to water, that is, the ratio of coffee powder and water, which directly determines the degree of caffeine extraction, and is the most critical factor affecting the flavor of coffee...... For example, if the coffee ground is 20 grams, then the water should be 360 grams. ”

Li Hao took out the thermometer to measure the kettle that was heating, and said: "The water filling temperature of hand-poured coffee is generally about 90 degrees, and when adjusting the flavor according to the degree of grinding and the ratio of powder to water, the temperature can also be adjusted accordingly, but it is kept in the range of 83 degrees to 96 degrees." ”

"Because the hot water has a natural cooling process, we have to wait until the water temperature reaches 92 or 93 degrees before we start using it to extract coffee, well, it's about the same now."

Li Hao picked up the kettle and told everyone: "Now, it is the most important extraction stage, we use a knife stream extraction, first of all, it is steaming, fill the water into the filter cup and draw a circle, so that the coffee powder absorbs water and expands, stimulates the taste, and then waits for about 25 seconds to start uninterrupted water injection." ”

"Let the coffee powder continue to soak in water, so that the retention liquid can fully release the aromatic substances in the coffee powder, and the water flow rate will gradually increase, and the water flow will be reduced before the water is about to overflow the filter cup."

"This method should pay attention to the stability and water level when filling water, and the water level should not be too high, so as not to fall on the edge of the upper filter paper and dilute the mellow flavor of the coffee."

"Okay, now that the water has been filled, just wait for the extraction process to be completed."

Li Hao smiled and said: "Although the whole process is not complicated, there are many places to pay attention to, the so-called difference is a thousand miles, often some details can determine the taste of the brewed cup of coffee, and it takes a lot of repeated practice to maintain a stable taste." ”

Several people nodded as if they didn't understand, with thoughtful looks on their faces.

After they digested it for a while, Li Hao took out a number of utensils from the cabinet and said to a few people: "The utensils are all here, then you can practice and communicate on your own, don't be afraid of failure, if you are confident in the coffee you brewed, you can bring it to me to taste." ”

Li Hao walked out of the back kitchen, took a magazine on the shelf, walked to the bar and sat down to read, the sound of the grinder working soon came from the back kitchen, and several people were already practicing intensively.

After ten minutes, Guli Ayimu came out with a cup of coffee, walked up to Li Hao and said, "Master......"

"Huh?" Li Hao looked up, she was blinking her big eyes and looking at herself expectantly.

Li Hao sniffed with his nose, and then frowned: "Is the coffee brewed?" ”

"Well, you taste it!" She held the cup and stretched it out in front of Li Hao.

Li Hao looked at the black liquid in the cup, glanced at Guli Ayimu again, was silent for a few seconds, took it, sniffed it carefully, and frowned even deeper.

But after all, it is the first time to make coffee, and it is already very good to be black, Li Hao's face was indifferent, he took a sip of it, and in the expectant gaze of Guli Ayimu, Li Hao's eyes widened, his chest rose and fell, and he coughed, two black water arrows squirted out of his nostrils, and then coughed violently.

"Rare father!" Guli Ayimu was taken aback and was about to come over, but was blocked by Li Hao's hand.

"Ahem...... You, this is trying to kill the life of the teacher, I ...... Ahem, there is no apprentice like you! ”
