Chapter 9 Bai Ze who acted secretly
"Ahh
After putting the cup back in the sterilizer, Jiang Yi'an leaned on the counter and sneezed again.
A little dizzy, he poured himself a cup of hot water, lay back on the rattan chair and drank it in small sips.
After a leisurely drink of water at the door, the midday sun began to heat up.
Raising his hand to block the somewhat dazzling sun, Jiang Yi'an got up and put up the awning outside the store.
There are many customers who like to sit on the street like this, and sit for an afternoon with a cup of coffee.
Although Jiang Yi'an always felt that these guests should go to the teahouse, it was no worse.
The younger generation in Shudu is influenced by the previous generation, and most of them like such a leisurely pace of life.
Bai Ze sat at the counter like a beckoning cat, quietly staring at Jiang Yi'an, who had a table outside the glass.
Jiang Yi'an, who was fine-tuning the position of the table and chairs, seemed to notice something and looked up.
Although the awning obscures the light from above, there is still a certain difference in light intensity between the interior and exterior.
He couldn't see it clearly, tilted his head, and continued to move the table.
After a while, Jiang Yi'an, who had beads of sweat on his face, stood on the side of the road, looked at the outside of the store and nodded with satisfaction.
When he returned to the store, he took himself another glass of water and drank it "tons and tons".
After basking in the sun for a while, I sweated a little, and the cold had just emerged a little trend, and I was beaten down by this set of small combos.
Jiang Yi'an just wanted to rest in the hall for a while, when the mobile phone placed in the counter rang.
"Ding, ding."
Click on it to see that it is a transfer and a message.
"The same old way." It was an employee of a nearby company who messaged him.
Putting the phone down, Jiang Yi'an wiped his hands with a towel and began to make coffee.
Weighing, grinding, because the order is American, Jiang Yi'an did not carry out the step of sieving powder.
He placed the strainer on the pot and, after setting the time, took out a key from under the counter.
Listening to the boiling sound of hot water, Bai Ze, who was sitting at the counter, looked curiously at Jiang Yi'an, who was standing at the end of the corridor.
With the faint light in the corridor, Jiang Yi'an fumbled for a while, and then used the key to open the door at the end.
The doors of the back room and the toilet are side by side on the street side, and when the door at the end of the corridor is opened, there is a storeroom on the inside.
It is also not accurate to say that it is a warehouse, because there are only two shelves and a battery car inside, and nearly three-quarters of the space is still empty.
There were some cardboard boxes neatly arranged on the shelves, and Jiang Yi'an found a box of takeaway paper cups from them.
He hitched the carton to the car and slowly pushed it out.
As he passed by the counter, Bai Ze quietly watched as he put the cardboard box on the ground.
Pushing the battery car out of the store, Jiang Yi'an returned to the warehouse and closed the door.
Usually, the door of the warehouse is not open, after all, there are some materials that are easy to get wet.
Listening to the boiling sound in the coffee pot, Jiang Yi'an took out all the paper cups in the box and put them under the counter, and pulled out a few of them and put them on the table.
Seeing that the water in the water tank was no longer dripping, Jiang Yi'an pulled out the thermos pot and slowly poured the coffee into the paper cup.
The rising mist, with the mellow aroma of coffee, hovered behind the counter.
There was still some coffee left in the thermos pot, and Jiang Yi'an simply poured it into his mug, which was just full.
He hadn't delivered it in a while, and he had forgotten the capacity of the cup, so he cooked more.
After placing the full paper cups in the groove of the insulated box, Jiang Yi'an walked out with the box in his arms.
"I'm going to deliver a coffee and I'll be back soon."
Bai Ze didn't speak, just lay down on the counter.
Jiang Yi'an didn't say anything when he looked at it, and asked the owner of the breakfast shop opposite to help take care of it for a while, and he put on his helmet and rode away on an electric car.
After completely losing sight of Jiang Yi'an, Bai Ze propped himself up, leaned against the cup and sniffed softly.
Bai Ze stared at the mug, its pink tongue licking in the air, constantly inhaling the rich and mellow scent.
After hesitating for a moment, a faint blue light gradually lit up in its eyes, and its pupils became even more crystal clear.
The coffee in the cup is held up by an invisible force, constantly changing shape in the air.
If anyone saw this, they would have screamed in fright, and a cat's eyes were shining, and a puddle of black liquid was floating out of thin air in front of it.
I saw a thin stream split out of the puddle of liquid, slowly flowing towards Bai Ze, and the rest of the coffee fell back into the cup.
Bai Ze slowly licked the coffee suspended in front of it, his tail wagging gently behind him.
Well...... It tastes good, at least much better than the one on the ship.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze felt that the bitterness in the coffee was so valuable.
After drinking the split coffee, it smacked its lips and looked at the rest of the cup with some dissatisfaction.
The level of liquid in the cup has dropped by about one-fifth, and there are some brown marks on the walls of the cup.
Bai Ze jumped off the counter and slowly walked to the door.
The sweetness of the coffee in its mouth and the warm sunlight shining on its body soothed the rhythm of its tail wagging a little.
Bai Ze recalled the path Jiang Yi'an had walked with him, and slowly walked towards the location of the alley.
It wants to take advantage of Jiang Yi'an's absence to go back to that alley to see if it can find anything.
……
"Yo, Xiao Jiang, you are here to deliver it today."
The female receptionist looked at Jiang Yi'an with some surprise, and it was rare to see Jiang Yi'an deliver it by herself.
"Yes, isn't this just a holiday, Xiao Zhou and they are not here, so I am the only one to send it."
"Okay, then you sit down first, and I'll bring them the coffee." The female receptionist smiled at Jiang Yi'an and walked in with the thermos box.
Jiang Yi'an sat on the metal chair at the door and took a breath, and some of his sweaty hair gradually dried under the effect of the cold air.
"Ding"
Yu Xuan: Brother Jiang, come out for a meal in the evening.
Yu Xuan: It's still Linjiang Night Market, and it's half past seven.
The two messages didn't give Jiang Yi'an time to react at all, so he had to send an "OK" to the past.
After playing with the mobile phone for a while, the female front desk walked out with a thermos box.
"No problem, I'll go first."
"I put a bottle of ice water in the thermos box, look at the heat outside, don't get heat stroke."
Jiang Yi'an was stunned when he heard this, opened the insulated box, and a bottle of mineral water that exuded cold air was lying in it.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Zhang." He didn't refuse, after all, he had delivered coffee to this company dozens of times, and they knew each other very well.
"Be careful on the road."
"Okay." Before the elevator closed completely, Jiang Yi'an waved his hand at Sister Zhang.
Not only is his coffee cheaper than the shops near the office, but it also tastes better, and he also offers delivery.
After all, if you only rely on customers who come to the store, the coffee shop can barely make ends meet.
But this is the only company that orders coffee for a long time, and the accumulation of every other day is not a small amount.
Stepping out of the door of the office building, the steaming heat enveloped Jiang Yi'an again.
Stepping on the little electric donkey, putting on a helmet, Jiang Yi'an rode to the coffee shop.
