005 Nestle and Latte

Drinking coffee? Xia Hongyu has seen similar plots in the novel, which seem to be very romantic.

Since transferring to Hanhu, she has never accepted an invitation from a boy like a lonely white swan, but now she looks at Fang Mu's sincere smile and nods like a devil.

The two entered the cafe. There were not many people inside, with a slightly dim yellow light, the smell of coffee in the air, and a soothing saxophone solo on the speaker, which looked very warm.

Fang Mu casually found a seat by the window, and Xia Hongyu sat opposite him. A girl dressed in a waiter at the bar came over. Seeing Fang Mu wearing a student uniform, she was slightly surprised, but she still asked politely: "Miss, sir, please drink something?"

"Give me a cappuccino." Fang Mu said casually, and asked Xia Hongyu again: "What do you want to drink? Cappuccino or latte?" Both of these are Italian milk coffee. Puccino will have a stronger coffee flavor, while the latte has a stronger milky taste, and the coffee flavor is relatively weaker. Girls like to drink it.

Before Xia Hongyu could speak, the waiter said, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have the kind you said here."

"Then what do you have here?" Fang Mu frowned. He remembered that it was Hanhu City, mainland China in the early 1990s, and probably had never heard of that name.

"There are freshly ground coffee and instant coffee." The waiter quickly replied: "But the freshly ground coffee has to be ground for our boss. She is not here now, so there is only Nestle instant coffee."

"Bird's nest? Can that thing still be called coffee?" Fang Mu couldn't help blurting out.

Fang Mu liked to play hand-made coffee at home by himself. Instant coffee was not coffee at all in his eyes. The waiter was a little at a loss when he heard this and stood there blankly.

"Just come two glasses of Nestle, I heard it tastes delicious." Xia Hongyu opposite spoke, and Fang Mu had no choice but to nod. There was no need to make things difficult for the waiter for this little thing.

Soon two cups of steaming coffee were brought up. Fang Mu took a sip and sighed in his heart. If he had known this, he wouldn't have to come in. Xia Hongyu, opposite, also took a sip and couldn't help but frown and said softly: "It's so bitter, why isn't it good to drink at all."

Of course, instant coffee cannot be compared with fancy coffees such as lattes. Fang Mu looked at Xia Hongyu with a little uncomfortable expression. Could it be that he gave the other party this impression the first time he treated him to the other party?

"Wait a minute, I'll grind you a cup." Fang Mu stood up and walked to the bar, and saw a hand-made coffee machine, hand-making pot and siphon pot on the bar. However, what surprised Fang Mu was that there was an old computer in the corner.

"Can I use this?" Fang Mu pointed to the handmade coffee machine.

The waiter was a little stunned. This was the first time that he had met a customer who had ground coffee himself.

"Let him try." Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from beside her. Fang Mu turned around and found that it was the beautiful cafe owner who was back. She was wearing a yellow girl coat and her waterfall-like curly hair was casually draped over her shoulders, looking very charming.

Fang Mu smiled and said nothing. He saw roasted coffee beans in the glass bottle next to the coffee machine. He opened the lid and took out a few coffee beans and looked carefully. The color was very dark. Fortunately, it was Italian-style roasted, which was very suitable for making lattes. Then he squeezed one more, and with a crisp cracking sound, a faint fragrance came out.

"The coffee beans are pretty good, it seems that this boss is honest." Fang Mu thought, and shoveled up an appropriate amount of coffee head with a spoon and poured it on the coffee machine and grind it manually.

"You can make coffee?" Xia Hongyu also stood beside him at some point and asked curiously.

"Make you a latte, you will definitely like it." Fang Mu replied with a smile. He didn't know how many times he had done it before he was reborn, and everything was familiar. He said to the waiter who was still dazed, "Please take two coffee cups and warm it up."

Drinking coffee medicine to warm up the coffee cup? Xia Hongyu was a little incredible, and the waiter next to him also stared at him with wide eyes.

Fang Mu didn't say anything anymore. After the coffee powder was ground, he extracted espresso (espresso), and asked the waiter to ask for milk foam and poured it into espresso. When pouring, Fang Mu was very careful, from fast to slow, and the color of the coffee in the cup began to fade. He looked at the coffee without turning around, carefully pouring the milk foam. Soon, white and brown patterns appeared on the surface of the coffee in the cup. Then he controlled his hand speed and poured it carefully bit by bit. He would get a round one by one, and then pull back, and a beautiful heart shape appeared on the surface of the coffee in the cup.

"Give it to you, try it." Fang Mu picked up the coffee cup and handed it to Xia Hongyu gracefully.

"So beautiful." Xia Hongyu took it, looking very happy, without realizing it, without her usual coldness.

Fang Mu made another latte for himself with leaves on the surface. When he saw the boss lady next to him staring at him with an incredible look. He smiled and said nothing, he picked up his brewed coffee and returned to his seat.

"How does it taste?" Fang Mu asked.

"Well... it's not sweet at all, it's a little bit astringent. It's much better than Nestle, and this coffee looks better, so I'm a little reluctant to drink it." Xia Hongyu smiled and narrowed her eyes.

Fang Mu suddenly realized that Xia Hongyu squinted her eyes slightly when she smiled, and bent down like a crescent moon, which looked very beautiful. He took a sip of coffee with a sip of temperature and tasted just right, and then said, "It's okay, I'll just treat you to drink in the future."

Xia Hongyu didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head slightly and sipped her coffee gently. The two of them began to remain silent again.

At this time, the saxophone in the cafe stopped and a slightly hoarse male voice sounded from the sound:

“It’s a season of love

The air is full of couples

It is shameful to be lonely...

This is a season of love

Everyone should smile at each other

……………………………….

"What kind of song is this? It sounds weird." Xia Hongyu asked casually.

"Zhang Chu's "The Lonely People Are Shameful." Fang Mu replied.

"Do you like to listen?"

"Yeah..." Fang Mu nodded.

"Your taste of appreciation is very special. Other boys like to listen to songs from the Little Tigers or campus folk songs, but you like to listen to these niches." Xia Hongyu tilted her head and looked at Fang Mu.

Niche? This is one of the famous Three Heroes of Magic Rock. Fang Mu knows that it will not take long before the Tang Dynasty band Zhang Chu, Dou Wei and He Yong will go to Hong Kong for the concert of "Chinese Rock and Roll" in "China Rock and Roll" to cause an uproar. At this point, the Three Heroes of Magic Rock" opened up the heyday of Chinese rock and roll, and the concert in Hung Hom has since become a classic worshipped by countless rock lovers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions.

I thought that this concert was the new starting point of Chinese rock, but I didn’t expect it to be the peak... I can never climb high.

"Although it was a bit strange at first, I really felt indescribable after listening to it for a while, with a bit of folk songs, which was very comfortable." Xia Hongyu continued to comment.

Fang Mu nodded. Indeed, Zhang Chu's songs have always been not heavy, but they are relatively thoughtful, with a strong folk song color, which is considered folk rock. So he smiled and said, "If you like to listen, I will introduce you to a few more songs in the future."

"Okay, Fang Mu, you can't tell. You know a lot." Xia Hongyu said.

"Learn a little more than anything, life will be more colorful." Fang Mu answered casually, and unknowingly used a catchphrase from Takeshi Kaneshiro who played Zhuge Liang in "Red Cliff".

"Puchi..." Xia Hongyu was amused by Fang Mu's words. Her red face was like a flower that suddenly bloomed. Seeing Fang Mu's old man's heart jumped a few more times.

Xia Hongyu suddenly felt a little embarrassed when she saw Fang Mu staring at her. She lowered her head slightly to calm her mood, her face regained a little indifference, looked at her watch, and said, "Let's go, it's almost nine o'clock."

Fang Mu nodded, took his last sip of coffee, and then went to the bar to prepare for checkout. As soon as he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by the female owner of the coffee shop: "Little brother, wait a moment."

Little brother?! Why does it sound so awkward? Fang Mu had to turn around and ask, "What's the matter?"

"I think you just grinded coffee is good. Do you want to work with me in your spare time? How about you satisfied with the salary package?" The beautiful boss looked expectant.

"Not good." Fang Mu refused.

"Why?"

"Because I have to study hard and improve every day." Fang Mu replied casually, turned around and left with Xia Hongyu.
