013 A cup of fancy, fragrant in summer
Today, there is only one person in the store, he is wearing a suit and skirt, he has a professional demeanor, and the bar is full of all kinds of exquisite utensils, and the soothing music is whispering in his ears.
"Hey, you don't have a break on the big weekend, what are you doing in the store?" Jian Yan asked, leaning on the bar with one hand.
In front of the Blue Mountains is a handmade grinder, like a small wooden box with a hand crank on it, which looks simple and lovely. He pulled out a bean measuring device, scooped three scoops from a large can of coffee beans, and poured them into the grinder. He didn't raise his eyelids, and replied lightly: "Then what are you going to do?" β
As the handle rotates, the evenly plump coffee beans gradually sink and are ground into powder into a small drawer below, and the strong aroma of the coffee beans overflows.
Xue Qiandai sniffed her little nose, pulled over a high chair, and said, "Lonely." If you love coffee so much, why do you come to a takeaway coffee shop? Do you think those who order takeout can drink the difference in your coffee? β
The previous sentence replied to Jian Yan, and the latter sentence was said to Blue Mountain.
Blue Mountain slowly hangs the upper pot filter of the siphon pot, pours the ground coffee into it, pours an appropriate amount of water into the lower pot according to the scale mark, and takes the alcohol lamp to heat. "So where do you think I should go? Who can tell the difference in the coffee I brew? β
Xue Qiandai thought about it seriously, her eyes were still staring at the siphon pot, "A five-star hotel or a high-end club, the treatment is okay, I can give it to you..."
Referral. She didn't say it, she forgot that she was no longer the daughter of the Xue family, could those people still recognize her?
Smiling self-deprecatingly, Xue Qiandai cheered up and said, "But I understand coffee, and Jian Yan and I will give you valuable advice unconditionally." β
Jian Yan was very satisfied and wanted to laugh too. Satisfied, the little sister took her with her; What I want to laugh at is that she obviously wants to drink coffee, and she says it so high-soundingly. "That's it, today you treat us as customers."
Blue Mountain looks at these two cunning customers, is this ready to be cheap or good? At this time, small bubbles are generated, and the Blue Mountains remove the alcohol lamp, and the steam generated at this time forms a pressure, and the water that squeezes the lower pot gushes out from the glass tube of the upper pot upwards and enters the upper pot.
"When I was hiring, my boss promised me good coffee beans and coffee machines for me to experiment with and develop new flavors, all of which came from my boss's hometown of Yunnan."
"Wow", Xue Qiandai was a little surprised by this answer, for the boss who had only been with her for half a day, Xue Qiandai's first feeling was that she was a philistine. But it seems, that's not all the boss, "Great! β
Blue Mountain stirs the coffee powder with a stirring bar to melt evenly, and the liquid gradually flows back to the lower pot due to changes in temperature and air pressure. The water rises as it boils, and the coffee that is extracted into black sinks.
"Dai Dai, Blue Mountain is very powerful, he is still one of the first batch of baristas to obtain professional qualification certification!" Jian Yan turned into a little fan girl and was full of praise for Blue Mountain.
Blue Mountain was obviously very interested in this, and his eyebrows were about to fly. Take two plain white coffee cups and pour the finished coffee into them. "Tell me, what flavor do you want?"
Xue Qiandai hurriedly answered, her little hands raised high: "Latte, I like delicate and smooth milk foam." β
"Little Rocket, what about you?" has just been praised, and Blue Mountain naturally has to take into account Jian Yan's meaning. β
"Same as Dai." Dai Dai understands everything, and it is always right to believe in Dai Dai.
Blue Mountain listened to her one by one, and she was hot. He laughed. "Alas, it's really cheap for you today, and this milk is for my own use. In general, the shorter the shelf life of milk, the fresher it is. I was going to drink it for three days, and I was going to drink it myself. β
The two girls' eyes burned, and their index fingers moved.
Blue Mountain inserts the heating rod into the milk cup, neither deep nor shallow, tilting the cup slightly to allow the milk to spin quickly inside, and then uses the back of his hand to test the temperature at the bottom of the cup. "That's it!"
Jian Yan rubbed her fingers and licked her lips, "Can you drink it?" β
"Right now." Blue Mountain skimmed off the big bubble on the top, because when the big bubble bursts, it will leave an unsightly pit and affect the shape. Leave an even and fine foam and pour into the ground coffee.
Xue Qiandai pulled her chair closer, coughed and cleared her throat and said, "How can there be no story without coffee, and your old friend Dai Dai will bring you a story of coffee." β
"In Ireland, people think baristas don't just make coffee, it's a coffee culture. A bartender at Dublin Airport meets a long-haired, elegant stewardess whose unique charm is as strong as Irish whiskey, haunting him for a long time. He longed to make her an Irish cocktail, but the stewardess only loved coffee and not alcohol. β
However, he was inspired by his heartfelt thoughts, and after countless trials and failures, he finally combined Irish whiskey and coffee to create a rich and powerful Irish coffee.
A year later, he finally waited for this opportunity and ordered 'Irish coffee' for the girl he missed. When he concocted for the girl, he could no longer contain his passion, and he was so happy that he shed tears, and he drew a circle on the rim of the Irish coffee cup with his tears......"
"So, the taste of the first sip of Irish coffee is always with the taste of longing for fermentation after being suppressed for a long time."
Xue Qiandai lowered her eyes, obviously she was just telling a story, but she remembered Huo Meiren, and she became lovesick.
"Wow, Dai Dai is amazing!" Jian Yan began to applaud.
"I've heard this story, and I love it." Blue Mountain takes a picker, squeezes a circle of chocolate sauce on the natural milk foam gap, and uses the picker to lightly pick a few times to outline a sunflower. "Two ladies, please use it slowly."
The snow-white petals are lightly curled, floating on the yellowish fragrant oil, Xue Qiandai takes a sip along the edge of the cup, and the flowers change their appearance, which is very interesting!
"Luscious, rich, and wonderful!"
For beautiful things, Xue Qiandai never hesitates to praise.
At that moment, the landline in the store rang.
Jian Yan took a sip and hurriedly picked up the phone, "Hey, hello, Lightyear Coffee Shop." I want two cups of latte, tall cup, please leave the address and phone number. β
After hanging up the phone, Jian Yan said regretfully, "Someone ordered a latte." β
"I'll deliver it." Xue Qiandai took the initiative to ask.
Blue Mountain began to pack and frame a flower in the same way. "Don't forget to tell the customer the story of this cup of coffee."
Xue Qiandai said OK. "Rest assured, I'm best at storytelling."
Jian Yan quickly found a work uniform and helmet and helped Xue Qiandai put them on. "I know you think they're ugly, but it's so hot, you don't need to protect your skin, be careful on the road."

Xue Qiandai straightened her helmet and walked out of the coffee shop. The sun was strong, and she walked towards the sun to find a new way.
