Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 50 Since I Can't Sleep, Let's Have a Coffee

The sun has risen.

The prosaic morning sun is particularly dazzling and reassuring at the moment.

Fang Qiuling raised his waist greatly in the face of the rising sun. Although he didn't sleep all night, he was still in good spirits.

Humans are afraid of the dark, so they light a fire to dispel it. It's not so much that humans are afraid of the dark, but that they are afraid of the unknown. Because of the darkness, vision is limited, and in an uncontrollable environment, unconscious fantasies and hidden fears emerge one by one. This belongs to the subconscious instinct, and it also belongs to the perceptual cognition.

Of course, there are also people who are used to the dark. In their eyes, the darkness is not terrible, it is not the darkness in reality that is scary, but the darkness in the heart.

The clock is about four hours back.

After some tidying up, the camp finally fell silent again.

Fang Qiuling has always thought that he has a "big heart", and he sleeps wherever he is. However, after the fierce battle with the undead, he lost sleep and couldn't sleep. In fact, it's not that I can't sleep, but I'm worried that after falling asleep, the undead will come to make a fuss, and I will get up in a daze to resist the enemy, which is absolutely terrible.

- Well, if you don't sleep, you won't sleep.

With Fang Qiuling's current physical condition, it is basically nothing if he doesn't sleep for a week, at most he is a little sluggish.

Since you can't go to bed early, find something to do. The old rule is to set up a stand on the campfire to boil water. I won't drink tea today, the tea is light, and you need to calm down and taste it slowly. There was just a big war, and it is estimated that no one has the heart to taste tea now. Let's get something hot and slightly heavier.

After rummaging through the storage bag, Fang Qiuling quickly took out two large glass bottles. One of the glass bottles was filled with dark brown beans – coffee beans; Inside the other glass is a fine white powder – the coffee mate.

– What brand of coffee beans is this?

Fang Qiuling subconsciously began to consider the price factor. In the modern world, he is a standard "small citizen", who does not like to take advantage of others, but when he buys things, he usually chooses to buy large quantities of bargains.

Ten dollars a piece of cake and fifty dollars a piece of cake, then take ten dollars, give me two, thank you.

Ten dollars for a cup of coffee and fifty dollars for a cup of coffee, give me ten dollars, I want a big cup, thank you.

I flipped through the bottle and glanced at the label. Really...... It's a brand I've never seen before!

- I don't know if this can of coffee beans is expensive.

The taste is still stuck in the good and the bad. If you really want Fang Qiuling to write a 500-word impression to evaluate the delicious food she has just eaten, it is estimated that she will lose a lot of hair.

When you unscrew the cap, the unique aroma of coffee fills your nose.

The small vertical ear on the side shook a few times, and then "Ah sneeze", a small sneeze.

- It tastes weird, but it smells good!

Sino rolled over and sat up, looking at the glass bottle in Fang Qiuling's hand with a curious gaze. The aroma comes from the dark brown beans in the glass bottle. This kind of bean Shino has never seen before.

Coffee lovers generally believe that coffee brewed with coffee beans is better in both taste and aroma than ground coffee and instant coffee. Coffee beans need to be ground and it is best to drink as much as you grind, and it takes a long time to brew a cup of coffee, so a fully automatic coffee machine came into being.

Fang Qiuling didn't know, because he was a poor ghost, he had never bought coffee beans, and he drank instant coffee on weekdays, so there was no way to compare.

The storage bag was stuffed to the brim, but no matter how much it was stuffed, it was impossible to put a coffee machine in it. How to deal with coffee beans needs to be solved by Fang Qiuling himself. Of course, this is not a problem at all. Elune is certainly not as good as the present world in terms of the prosperity and development of civilization, but in terms of individual physical fitness, Elune has completely emerged. The skill of making things into powder can be described as how much you need.

Fang Qiuling grabbed a handful of coffee beans in his hand, and then urged a fighting spirit.

- That's it!

The powder should be as fine as it gets, just sprinkle a large handful of ground coffee into the kettle on the campfire, cover it and smolder it again. As for whether the coffee beans are brewed like this after grinding......

- That's pretty much it.

After a while, the unique mellow aroma of coffee spread through the camp.

Shino blinked, took out his small cup from his waist pocket naturally, and waited with anticipation.

The owner of his own family is a very troublesome and very particular person. Old Tom had been listening to Fang Qiuling's complaints. Although she knows very well that as a retainer, she should not speak ill of her own master, but the facts are the facts, and this is the virtue of her own master.

But trouble is trouble, and the things that can be looked at by the owner are also good things. For example, the iron plate roasted fish I ate in Jinhe Town last time, I can't help but drool when I think about it now, it's so delicious! Another characteristic of his own master is that he is generous, and he never eats alone. This beautiful little cup in his hand was from him.

The small mug is printed with snow-capped mountains and a cute white bear, just like a printed mug.

The fragrance is stronger. Even the expectations for this drink have risen a lot.

Old Tom had appeared at the campfire at some point, staring at the kettle with fierce eyes. Old Tom also had a cup in his hand. The cup was made of wood, and it was usually used by him to drink.

Fang Qiuling, a guy who is particular about death, never shares tableware with others! From knives and forks to plates and cups, Fang Qiuling has his own set of special sets. So to divide his stuff, please bring your own utensils!

"Don't worry, it'll be fine right away."

While the coffee was still burning, Fang Qiuling opened another glass bottle. A milky aroma different from the mellow aroma of coffee wafted out - coffee mate.

A lot of people say that coffee companions are not good. Coffee mate only plays a role in increasing the taste, and there are various additives such as stabilizers, emulsifiers, and anti-caking agents, which are not good for the human body. Moreover, it is easy to produce hair fatty acids when mixed with coffee, which is not good for the body.

But...... This thing smells good, doesn't it? In particular, it can make it easier for people who don't drink coffee regularly to feel too bitter and more acceptable. And putting aside the dosage and talking about harm, this behavior itself is playing hooliganism, and drinking something once in a while, even if it has an impact, the impact will not be great.

Take out a small silver spoon and place some in each of the four cups...... Hey, why is there an extra cup?

Lily's sparkling eyes appeared beside her at some point, and she was also holding a cup in her hand.

“……”

"What are you looking at?"

Lily grinned. Inadvertently, two little tiger teeth were exposed.

“…… It's nothing. ”

Fang Qiuling's hand trembled, but she still added a big spoonful to her cup.

After adding the coffee mate, the coffee in the kettle is almost burned.

A piping hot, dark brown liquid is poured into the cup and mixed with the white powder. The smell is so strong that you can't help but want to take a big sip.

Old Tom couldn't wait to open his mouth......

"Wait a minute!"

Fang Qiuling drank inside.

Freshly boiled coffee, properly 100 degrees of boiling water. Old Tom might have a sip of cow drink like this, maybe his tongue will be burned!

"You're not going to speak tomorrow? It's hot! ”

A glass of boiling water is poured directly into the stomach, and the average person should be sent to the hospital. With the strength of Old Tom's Black Iron Peak, it shouldn't be necessary to send it to the hospital, but it must not be comfortable, and the hardships will inevitably have to be eaten. For example, you can only eat liquid food for several days, and you can't speak for several days......

- I didn't get hurt much in a big fight with the undead, but I was put down by a cup of coffee. Daddy, you can go back more and more!

The coffee is very "petty bourgeois" and very literary. When tasting, it is suitable for sipping in small sips, for example, you can also show off with an orchid finger when drinking.

Fang Qiuling thinks that he is a "rough man", but if he compares it with Old Tom, then he will find that the initiator Fang Qiuling is worthy of being called a "troublesome nobleman".

"Drink slowly! And also. If it's not enough, you can continue to burn. ”

"Oh......"

Finally didn't let Old Tom lose his coffee.

Lily took a small sip of her cup. On the one hand, I was overcome by the rich taste of the coffee, and on the other hand, I was surprised by the slight bitterness. I remember when I was a child, when I secretly tasted ale, the bitterness of the ale made her vomit on the spot. Since then, she has stayed away from bitter things. And now, the hot drink in her hand has subverted her cognition, and for the first time, she feels that the bitterness is actually good.

It can only be said that Lily is still young and has not seen much. But if she knew that the foodie country in the world would still use stinky dishes and sour seasoning, it is estimated that her eyeballs would pop out.

"Well, it's kind of bitter...... But it's really fragrant! ”

The first time she drank coffee, Lily found it difficult to describe the taste of coffee flowing on the tip of her tongue. But the most intuitive incense, that's no doubt! And it's not the seductive feeling of perfume, but the mellow and relaxing scent.

Shino nodded repeatedly.

Most members of the cat charm family are not very capable of eating hot things, which is commonly known as "cat tongue". Sino is no exception. So now she could only lean on top of the cup and smell the rising heat.

The rising heat not only has the strong aroma of coffee, but also the sweet aroma of creamer. The two scents blend together to create an extremely gorgeous body. And the hot coffee warms up the mug in your hand. In the cool late autumn, holding a cup of hot coffee, even if you can't drink it for a while, it also makes Sino shrink into a ball comfortably.

"Hey, what is this?"

After a while, Lily couldn't help but ask.

"Coffee."

"Coffee? What is it? Haven't heard of it. ”

Fang Qiuling glanced up at Lily, and then attracted Lily's angry glare.

- Ha, what a grudge-holding little girl.

Lily's eyes were sparkling. Even if she was a little annoyed at the moment, she still looked very beautiful. It's just that there are too many points for hair trimmed short. Just now, I felt that I had inadvertently discovered a hidden treasure, and now I think that what is hidden should be a rare treasure.

Also taking a sip of the coffee in the cup, Fang Qiuling changed his sitting posture to make himself sit more comfortably, and then slowly spoke.

"Coffee, coffee beans, this stuff comes from the South. Far south from here, where the continent of Mazta is. There is a plant called Arabica in the Mazta continent, which is a small tree-like tree and a relatively dwarf tree species. The fruit is generally red in color, and the coffee beans are the seeds hidden in the fruit. Peel off the skin, eat the flesh inside, and then peel off the middle skin, and you're done. ”

Elune also has coffee trees. There is an active volcano in the middle of the southern continent of Mazta, and the area around the volcano produces coffee beans of extremely high quality. However, these coffee beans are rarely transported to Karthus, less than the tea leaves of the Silk Country, and the ordinary people of the Karthhas rarely know of the existence of such a fragrant drink except for wizards and scholars.

"Of course, that's not what the seeds that come out of the fruit look like that." Fang Qiuling lifted the glass bottle containing the coffee beans and shook it, "It's like this after it has to be dried or dried." I think I can eat the seeds directly, but I haven't tried it, and according to those who have eaten it, it doesn't taste very good. It's better to make coffee beans. Oh yes. Wizards like this thing more because it picks up their minds and keeps their minds clear. ”

"Hmm!"

Lily choked on the word "wizard" and almost squirted out of her mouth.

"You!"

In the eyes of the paladins, wizards are potential criminals. Nothing a criminal likes can be a good thing.

Lily's little face immediately became tangled. The cup in his hand also seemed to become hot.

"What's wrong? Don't discriminate against wizards, wizards are also human beings, and they also have normal needs. ”

Fang Qiuling could understand the paladin's wariness of wizards, but if he spurned everything that wizards liked, it would be endless.

Wizards also have to eat and sleep, so does the paladin stop eating and sleeping from now on? Wizards still have to wear clothes when they go out, and does the paladin run naked when he goes out?

"Humph!"

Lily turned her head and ignored Fang Qiuling. However, the cup in his hand was firmly grasped and he was reluctant to lose it. After all, it is a treasure that has been crossed from the far southern continent of Mazta, and it is not something that can be bought with money.

"Hoo ......"

Old Tom put down his cup with satisfaction, and exhaled a long breath, and the breath in his mouth also carried a bit of the mellow aroma of coffee. He still gulped down the cow drink, and after drinking one glass, he unceremoniously poured another glass.

"Shulick, what is this white powder?"

“…… Milk powder, which is used to enhance the taste of coffee. In addition, it also makes the coffee less bitter. ”

The main ingredient of coffee mate is creamer, although it is called a "non-dairy" product in the modern world, in fact, it still contains a certain amount of milk.

The most critical ingredient in creamers is casein, which is the main protein in milk and is originally a by-product of the cheese-making process. Because of the low price at the time, no one treated it as a "milk product". However, in recent years, the price of casein has soared due to its high nutritional value. Manufacturers are looking for other, cheaper alternatives to casein. At present, the use of soy protein and wheat protein is relatively common, and the creamer produced from soy protein and wheat protein is really a "non-dairy" product.

It is too difficult to explain to people who do not have modern knowledge what creamer is and what non-dairy creamer is. To put it simply, just say that it is milk powder.

Fang Qiuling quietly glanced at the ingredient list on the coffee companion bottle.

- Well, I'm not lying!

The daily supplies prepared by the Tibetan history are not cheap bargains. This coffee mate is not soy protein or wheat protein, but casein from cow's milk. Proper high-end goods.
