"If I'm right, it's coffee beans grown in the mountains of Miras Gerais, Brazil," Zhu said. ”

Mr. Shao's wife was also stunned, they only knew that this latte was produced in Brazil, but they didn't know the specific production area.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiaohua in front of him not only said the place of origin, but also knew which production area he came from, which was simply too godly.

The old lady invited Zhu Xiaohua into the house, and said with a smile: "Tell me, why is it produced in the mountains of Milas Gerais?" ”

He pulled out a chair and motioned for Zhu Xiaohua to finish his coffee before leaving.

This cup of coffee has already been tasted, and Zhu Xiaohua is embarrassed to put it down. I had to go into the house with my coffee and say, "Then I'll bother." ”

Zhu Xiaohua entered the room and sat down.

I saw that the room was about 30 square meters, the inside of the suite was the bedroom, and the outer room where he was located was the living room.

On the east side of the living room, there are two beige sofas against the wall, and the back and armrests of the sofas are each covered with a white hollow gauze scarf. It is a unique decoration on sofas of this era.

Under the sofa, there is a dark wooden floor.

In front of the sofa, there are two layers of curtains. On the inside is a white openwork gauze curtain, and on the outside is a light yellow cotton curtain. Both layers of curtains have been closed, leaving only a small gap.

Zhu Xiaohua held the cup and said: "The mountainous area of Miras Gerais is a traditional coffee producing region in Brazil, with high altitude and sunshine, and the taste is particularly pure. Only the coffee produced here can bring out this taste. ”

The old woman's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she carried the aluminum kettle, and continued to pour two more cups, which she placed on the coffee table.

Mr. Shao took the photo, sat down on the sofa, and also picked up one of the cups of coffee and tasted it, saying: "After my wife and I returned to China, the most unforgettable thing is the taste of latte." This Brazilian latte was brought back by a friend of ours from a foreign country. ”

Zhu Xiaohua put all the photos in his hand on the table and drank coffee intently.

The old woman looked at his photos with a smile and asked, "You took these pictures today?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua nodded.

The old woman put down the aluminum pot and asked, "Do you mind if I take a look?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua pushed the photo over and said, "Of course I don't mind." To be interested, you can look at it casually. ”

The old woman took the pictures and looked at them one by one. When I saw the people rolling around the yard and the photos of Second Uncle Wang swallowing bird feces, I couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What are these?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua told her about the money she paid back to her neighbors that day, and that these people laughed at her, made bets with her, and finally had to fulfill their promises.

The old woman looked at the photo and couldn't help laughing, and said, "These people, aren't they digging holes for themselves?" ”

Mr. Shao saw the two blank sheets of paper under the photo and said, "Haven't the two blank photographic papers on the outside been washed out?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua's heart moved, handed him these two blank papers, and asked, "You said, these two are photo papers?" ”

Mr. Shao took the photo paper, looked at it carefully, and said, "This is the photo paper produced by Los Angeles No. 1 Imaging Factory, I recognize it, I can't be wrong." ”

He looked left and right again, and when he saw the large and small turtle paintings on it, he couldn't help but regret: "It's a pity to scribble on such a good paper." ”

"Did you know that this paper is a patented product unique to Los Angeles No. 1 Imaging Factory, a patent invented by my students. I came to Los Angeles to help him improve his paper patent. ”

Zhu Xiaohua was taken aback: "I see." ”

Mr. Shao continued, "Nowadays, photography is becoming more and more popular, and people are becoming more and more demanding from photographic products. The photographic paper, fixer, and developer produced by the Los Angeles No. 1 Imaging Factory are also in short supply. Everyone wants to take this opportunity to launch a few more new products. ”

"This Los Angeles No. 1 photo paper is the latest product launched by their factory."

Seeing that everyone did not understand what was special about this photo paper, Mr. Shao went on to explain: "Now ordinary photo paper will have large and small cracks after being kept for a few years, and the faces on the photos can be cracked into countless flowers. And after a long time, the fading is also very serious. Seriously affects the quality of the photo. ”

Zhu Xiaohua nodded in agreement.

Most of the old photos of this era will crack after being stored for a few years. faded, so people habitually keep them in glass frames.

Mr. Shao continued: "But the Los Angeles One photo paper will not. It adds a lot of new materials, the photo paper has good elasticity, good toughness, long storage time, and will not deform and fade even if it is exposed to the air for decades or hundreds of years. ”

Mr. Shao handed the photo paper to Zhu Xiaohua and asked him to try to shake it.

found a few more ordinary pieces of paper and asked Zhu Xiaohua to shake it.

Zhu Xiaohua shook the two pieces of paper a few times, and ordinary paper would have a "bang, bang" sound.

The Los Angeles No. 1 photo paper is quiet and silent, like a soft rubber product such as a mouse pad, which is neither loud nor wrinkled, and has excellent elasticity.

After comparing the two, the gap can be seen at once.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "This Los Angeles No. 1 photo paper is really a little different. ”

Mr. Shao nodded with satisfaction: "I believe that it will not be long before the Los Angeles No. 1 photo paper will be popularized throughout the country and sold at home and abroad." ”

Zhu Xiaohua couldn't help but be in awe of Mr. Shao in front of him, and asked, "Dare to ask what you do?" ”

Mr. Shao said: "I, a university teacher, mainly teach chemistry. ”

Zhu Xiaohua thought to himself, no wonder his students could improve the photo paper, it turned out that they specialized in this kind of research.

Mr. Shao returned the two blank pieces of paper to Zhu Xiaohua and said, "Such a good piece of paper is a bit violent to draw turtles." ”

Zhu Xiaohua smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I asked for these two pieces of paper from someone else. It's not mine. ”

The old lady sat on the sidelines, sipping coffee, looking at the photo, and couldn't help laughing when she saw the ugly appearance of the neighbors in the photo.

She listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and waited until the two finished before interjecting: "In this way, our photos are not made of Los Angeles No. 1 photo paper, so it won't be preserved for long." Do you want to take two more shots? ”

Mr. Shao said: "This kind of photo paper is almost useless, but it is not completely unusable. If you want to use L.A. 1 photo paper, you probably have to wait. You and I are in a hurry, otherwise we can really take pictures with new photo paper. ”

The old lady had a regretful look on her face.

Mr. Shao said: "But it doesn't matter, you can take pictures anywhere." When we go back to the old capital, we can take pictures over there. ”

The old lady said, "That's all there is to it." It's a pity that there are no grottoes there. ”

Zhu Xiaohua drank a cup of coffee and said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Shao.

The old lady kept and said, "We have other varieties of coffee here, and we will let you try it next time." ”
