158 Coffee hobby

"Why did you give the interview to the Los Angeles Times?" Hugo and Joseph walked west along Sunset Boulevard, and Hugo looked at Joseph with a faint suspicion between his eyebrows and asked, "Because Nicholas said good things about our movie this time?"

When it comes to the previous grievances between Nicholas and McLaelen and Hugo, in fact, there are not many good memories except for this "righteous sea hero", even if it was a separate interview with the crew of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Woman'", Nicholas still praised Hugo in the subsequent reports, not to mention that the previous reports could not see any positive impact.

Therefore, when it comes to the interview, Hugo's first reaction can be any media, but he definitely did not expect it to be the "Los Angeles Times". This was Hugo's first interview in his own life, and he had fantasized about being able to communicate with reporters in a friendly manner, but now he was disillusioned by Joseph's decision.

"Because they have enough influence, and because they have enough sincerity." Joseph 'revealed' a helpless smile, the influence of the "Los Angeles Times" in the entire West Bank region is undoubted, even the professional film magazines "Variety" and "Hollywood Reporter" are slightly inferior, because the influence of the "Los Angeles Times" is comprehensive and 'sexual', and it really cannot be ignored.

"Besides, this interview is not the only one, but the 'Los Angeles Times' has arranged it in the front, why do you mind so much? Anyway, sooner or later, I'll have to talk to them. Joseph looked at Hugo unexpectedly, he naturally couldn't understand Hugo's inner "first" thoughts, thinking that this was just an ordinary interview. Although Hugo has not been invited for an interview in the past year, in the past three years, Hugo has experienced more interviews than he can count on his hands and feet, and there is nothing unusual.

Hugo opened his mouth, but there was no way to directly refute it, and finally he could only stammer, "Because I have to be ready to ask questions about the Golden Raspberry Award again, and I don't want to spoil the good mood." "The most popular person for the Golden Raspberry Award was the Los Angeles Times.

"I thought you wouldn't mind the Golden Raspberry Award at all." Joseph was a little surprised, whether it was the night of the award ceremony or the watch after Xiàn, Hugo was very calm and calm, and did not seem to have suffered the blow of the Golden Raspberry Award at all.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and did not answer, but this direct action relieved Joseph.

No one cares about the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo just faced the difficulties in a self-deprecating and optimistic way. It's like a person who accidentally falls into a puddle, but instead of crying or being depressed, he gets up again strongly, but it doesn't mean that he will have a good impression of that puddle. Replace the puddle with manure. It will be more vivid.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon, which is the beginning of the most beautiful moment of Sunset Boulevard, the orange 'color' of the winter sun dyes the vinyl record stores, second-hand bookstores, and coffee shops on both sides of the street with a nostalgic 'color' color, and the palm trees strip the sunlight to the ground mottled and trivial, as if a large area of crystals are sprinkled all over the ground, refracting a graceful and tranquil beauty.

Walking leisurely on such a road, temporarily putting the pressure of life, the frustration of work, and the burden of livelihood at your feet, relaxing your shoulders, living with your steps, chasing the shadow under the sun under your feet, there is no comfort and happiness in half a day's leisure.

Hugo and Joseph stopped in front of a gray 'colored' concrete wall with two glass windows seven feet high and four feet wide six feet apart, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the left hand side and sliding doors on the right side. On the right side of the sliding 'door', there is charcoal neatly written "133L", which is the number of the 'door', that is, the destination of the two people. Above the sliding 'door' is written in white 'color' and red 'color' lettering "Intellectuals Coffee (isia. coffee)”。

When the sliding door is opened, the rich aroma of coffee immediately rolls in the sun, as if entering the chocolate factory of Willy and Wonka, stepping into a wonderful world of "color".

"Hey, here." Hugo had just walked into the 'door' when a voice came from his left-hand side, and when he turned his head, he saw Nicholas and McLaren wearing a black 'colored' shirt. Nicholas is actually a handsome young man with full of energy, with short blond hair, a square face with sharp edges, and a pair of narrow eyes that are always half-squinted, as if he is calculating something all the time. In fact, Nicholas was only a year older than Hugo.

Nicholas greeted him warmly and took the initiative to shake hands with Hugo and Joseph respectively, "How is it, do you have any choice for coffee?"

"I can do it, Hugo is picky." Joseph could feel Nicholas's obvious initiative, and as an agent, he had to shoulder the responsibility of communication, so he took the microphone first, and then looked at Hugo and cast an inquiring look.

Nicholas stood next to him and also looked at Hugo, and his tone rose slightly, "Hugo, do you have research on coffee?"

Hugo's previous research on coffee was mostly on paper, and he couldn't eat enough, so how could he have spare money to drink coffee, it was just an interest. However, after the crossing, in this year's time, other situations are not noticeable for the time being, but Hugo's coffee habit has been thoroughly implemented, and professional utensils such as coffee machines, coffee beans, and coffee cups are readily available at home.

"No, it's just a hobby, not research." Hugo turned his head to look at the coffee house as he spoke, in fact, Hugo can only be regarded as a junior coffee lover now, just out of the low-level fun of Starbucks, and began to make his own coffee at home, which is still far from a real professional. However, the coffee house in front of him aroused Hugo's strong interest.

This intellectual coffee house doesn't have too many complicated decorations, it looks like a simple warehouse has been converted from a single warehouse. The cement wall of the color is full of sight, and the decoration style of the store is like a real yàn room, full of post-modern art style of the real yàn room, in the middle is the place where coffee is cooked and cashier, all kinds of professional utensils are dazzling, the counters around are designed in the form of a bar, at this time there are a lot of guests, and then the simple card seats are placed along the four walls of the space at will, and a shelf is also placed in the west corner, on which all kinds of bottles and cans, there are ' The flower's pot-shaped test-tube-like thing comes into view, and it looks exactly like a chemical room - or a medical room.

"Are you sure this is a coffee house?" This was Hugo's first thought, although the rich aroma of coffee and the black 'colored' liquid in the hands of the customers in the store told Hugo: this is the coffee house.

Nicholas chuckled, "I thought this was supposed to be your territory. The irony of this sentence could not be more obvious, on the one hand, this is the sunset boulevard, less than ten minutes' walk from Hugo's house; On the other hand, if Hugo really has research on coffee, then he should be even better at digging for good coffee.

This sentence immediately reminded Hugo that the reporter in front of him had never been his friend, so Hugo shrugged his shoulders and replied lukewarmly, "If I had here, I think my bank account would have been sued to me." Hugo deliberately distorted the deep meaning of Nicholas's words, only locking the definition of "territory" to the intellectual coffee house, not Sunset Boulevard, and this retort made Nicholas's smile more relaxed.

"The coffee here is known for its innovation and professionalism." As if unaware of Hugo's counterattack, Nicholas brought the conversation back to the coffee house, "Although it can take a long time to make a cup of coffee that makes you want to turn away, if you allow it, these professional baristas have their own curated coffee menus, they will mix new coffees according to their whims, and they will listen to their customers to make improvements." ”

This made Hugo more interested, he raised his eyebrows, raised his head to look at the menu hanging above, and sure enough, he saw a small blackboard of "Today's Barista Menu", which is obviously updated every day, but it does not write a specific coffee name on it, just a person's name, Nathan and Sgayer (han. skyer)。

Obviously, this is the special "color" of the intellectual coffee house, where the barista surprises the guests, and only when the coffee is in hand will they know what they are ordering. It's a bold attempt for those who like to innovate.

Hugo immediately said to the clerk who ordered the order, "Give me a Nathan Sgayle." The clerk smiled and nodded, and Hugo turned to look at Joseph, who didn't have much to ask for coffee, he thought for a moment, "A cappuccino." ”

Nicholas looked at Joseph with some surprise, there are really not many men who like cappuccinos. Hugo is not surprised at all, Joseph has always had a special love for sweets, remembering the scene of the last time Joseph asked for a cup of caramel macchiato, Hugo's mind kept echoing Joseph's voice asking for "more caramel", and he couldn't help laughing.

Joseph was used to such a situation for a long time, and did not care at all, and turned his head to look at Nicholas, "So, I think our work can begin." ”

Nicholas quickly came back to his senses, laughing and saying, "My work has begun." Then he looked at Hugo, "Do you like coffee?" What do you like to drink?" The so-called interview is actually an in-depth understanding of the interviewee, and the direction of understanding is controlled by the reporter. Hobbies are one of them.

Hugo followed Nicholas to the position he had taken before, a notebook, a pen, and a tape recorder on the wooden coffee table, and a cup of coffee that had been drunk a third of it, without any 'milk' foam or cow' 'milk', and although the exact type of coffee was unknown, it was probably surmised that Nicholas was not a fan of sweets - at least on coffee.

"It's just an interest, I've been trying Subamo lately." Hugo sat down by the window and watched as Nicholas across from him picked up the tape recorder and played with it in the palm of his hand.

"Subamo? Bitter and sweet, with a unique fragrance, it is indeed a good choice. Nicholas also seems to have an understanding of coffee, and in this way the atmosphere on both sides is relaxed.
