Chapter 19 Coffee, Milk Tea and Mahjong

With such an important business to discuss, Galileo was no longer in the mood to continue doing Sudoku and drinking coffee here. He had to go home quickly to find his father.

But before the coffee was finished... Galileo was a little confused.

Lucifer saw Galileo's distress and offered to pack it for him.

Anyway, he drew x100 of disposable cups like those wholesaled to milk tea shops, but he was worried that he wouldn't have a chance to use them.

So Galileo was pleasantly surprised to receive a cup of coffee in a paper cup.

"This is...paper?"

Galileo took the cup in his hand and looked at it, feeling very strange.

Because Lucifer didn't get the matching lid, he could only leave it open like this. Fortunately, the original coffee cup did not match the capacity of this paper cup. After pouring it in, it was only a little more than half, so there was no need to worry about spilling.

According to the habit of "bitter coffee tastes worse when it's cold", Einstein only lowered the temperature of the coffee to the point where you can still drink it if you blow it, but it will burn your mouth slightly, so the heat of the coffee itself is still obvious, but Galileo put the cup

Holding it in your hand, you can't seem to feel the temperature inside even though it's only separated by a thin paper wall.

He guessed it after a moment's thought: "Double-decker?"

Lucifer nodded.

As expected of the detective Galileo (no), he discovered it so quickly.

Galileo's eyes lit up: "This technology is also great... Sorry, I'm going home and bringing my father right away!"

With that said, Galileo carefully held the cup and went home to find his father.

On the other side, Einstein, who was still slowly drinking coffee in small sips, was leisurely holding the handle of the coffee cup, walking around the long table to watch other people playing Pagan Killing, and quietly checking people's identities.

stuck, and then listened to their chatter and speculations, he laughed like a fool, and was eventually driven away by everyone, telling him not to get in the way.

In fact, the smell of coffee was too fragrant. Einstein held the coffee cup so close to them, but they couldn't drink it, which was very painful.

By now, almost everyone has at least one red winner's point in their hands, and each of them has secretly made up his mind to exchange it for a drink after the game is over - their mouths are dry too!

So, when Galileo and his father hurried to the Apple store, what greeted them was not the aroma of coffee, but a sweeter taste.

Galileo's father: "...? Is this coffee too?"

"No."

Someone suddenly said behind Galileo and his son who were blocking the door: "This is... the smell of tea and milk!"

Realizing that they were blocking the road, Galileo and his son quickly moved away to let the people behind them come in.

This man looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a beard and a robe made of a piece of folded cloth. You could see smooth but not exaggerated muscles on his arms.

Galileo's father raised his eyebrows and realized that he was an acquaintance: "Isn't this Archimedes?"

Archimedes nodded to Galileo and his son, then walked forward impatiently, came to the nearest person, and asked: "What are you drinking?"

"Uh." Jack scratched his hair when asked, "Sage said this is milk tea."

Archimedes showed a thoughtful expression: "Milk tea... do you use milk to make tea?"

Tea was a rare commodity that had to be transported from far away, and it was possible that the caravan might have sold out of the tea before it even reached the vicinity of the Garden of Eden.

Therefore, everyone in the Garden of Eden drank carefully, following the most traditional drinking method taught to them by the caravan, only using hot water to brew it, and enjoying the fragrance of the tea, for fear that some evil way of making a whim would not taste good and ruin themselves.

Only tea leaves.

Although the place where Archimedes lived was better than the Garden of Eden, he had never tried adding milk, which made him very curious about how it tasted.

"Can milk be used to make tea?"

"It's not about making tea directly with milk."

A cold voice suddenly sounded. Archimedes looked around and found that the other person was walking out of the door that was probably the kitchen.

The man was slender, dressed simply, with dark hair tied back, revealing a handsome face that eclipsed everything around him. The rare golden eyes under the broken hair were watching him quietly, and the whole person had a radiance.

The awe-inspiring aura - it even makes people vaguely feel that the other person's hair should not be such a deep black, but should be a brighter color.

He smiled at Archimedes, but his expression was still completely cold, but even if he was not enthusiastic at all, Archimedes still felt inexplicably flattered.

"Want to try a drink?" he asked.

Archimedes nodded vaguely.

"Then let's try it."

Archimedes: "…………???"

Galileo's father secretly complained to Galileo: "The people there advocate beauty both physically and mentally. They especially like beauties, and beauties do not distinguish between men and women... But adult men especially like to grow beards. Isn't this a contradiction? Just like this Archimedes.

De, when he didn't have a beard, he was also a handsome man."

Galileo was speechless: "Is this okay? I don't feel right. Will it trigger divine punishment..."

"Is it okay if you don't go too far? The pursuit of physical and mental beauty will make them work harder to exercise and become smarter. There will be no bad effects, otherwise it will not be passed down as a tradition."

Galileo's father said calmly: "And it's not bad for us. Good-looking people will have an advantage in doing business with them."

Galileo: “…………”

It seemed that the wise man was a little busy. Galileo's father, who had already tasted the half cup of coffee his son brought back at home, was no longer in a hurry. He found a place to sit down with his son and looked around to observe the store.

Galileo's father had heard of this store before, but only to the extent that his son came back and mentioned it when he was called to help solve a problem for the church.

It wasn't until his son came home in a hurry just now and let him try the coffee that changed his impression that he paid attention to this store.

It's all coffee, and the raw materials are all coffee beans. How come someone else's coffee can be so delicious and even bitter? Why is it that the coffee he drank before was so difficult to drink?!

So, after hearing his son say that he could get the recipe for making delicious coffee from the wise man, Galileo's father threw down the account book at hand without hesitation and walked quickly, fearing that others would think he was not sincere enough.

Now, others have arrived and their attitude has been expressed. If the sage himself is not available, then it doesn't matter.

Galileo's father finally had time to ask his son for more information about this store.

"The boy from the Einstein family is also here. In that case, at Elder Bill's banquet before, I seemed to have vaguely heard that someone who brought Elder Bill's wine to the boy from the Einstein family tasted it, and it turned out that he

The reaction was actually dull..."

At the time, he was still thinking about who was so tasteless, but now it seems that if that person is the Sage, everything will make sense.

Even the coffee can be made so delicious, and the wine, which is not bad to drink in the first place, maybe someone has made something even more delicious!

While Galileo and his son were exchanging information, Archimedes finally figured out what he needed to do if he wanted to drink a cup of milk tea.

However, he was faced with a bunch of trial names and it was difficult to choose.

Einstein raised his hand and suggested: "Let's play mahjong!"

The last time the Sage explained the rules, he and his friends tried to play a round of mahjong. He almost succeeded in playing a difficult all-in-one game, but was beaten by Ludwig Gauss with an ordinary rubbish tile.

What a fool, I almost vomited blood...

At that time, he thought that if he had the chance, he would clean up his act once and get back the scene from that time. Unfortunately, a few other people preferred to kill heretics, so they have postponed it until now.

Archimedes had never tried any of the trials, so he agreed without hesitation.

Lord Sage glanced around the store: "Three are missing, who else wants to try mahjong?"

Galileo's father pondered for a second and then raised his hand: "I want to try."

Ruth was also curious: "I want to try it too."

Lord Sage nodded: "Okay, then I don't have to participate in the battle. Everyone, come over."

So, they were led to a square table, where the mahjong tiles were neatly placed and ready to start.

After the sage explained some rules to them, Archimedes and Galileo's father were thoughtful.

They feel that this trial is actually quite simple, especially since the content of the cards is fixed. Once you get used to it, you should be able to calculate the cards in other people's hands, and it doesn't seem to be too difficult to win.

Einstein saw their thoughts and felt as if he had seen his former self.

He sighed quietly, without reminding them, and just said calmly: "Let's get started."

So it began.

According to the rules, when playing cards, the more complex the cards are, the more difficult it is to play cards, and the higher the points are. Archimedes and Galileo, who thought this test was not difficult, looked at the cards in their hands and thought:

They are all very confident and plan to take on a difficult challenge.

Then I was taught how to be a human being.

You can't always get the cards you want, and your boss won't feed you the cards you need. No matter how good the initial cards look, it's useless!

Especially Archimedes, he started with five pairs, so he planned to make a special card type [seven pairs]. As long as he gathered seven pairs of the same cards, he could make a fool of himself, and he only needed to draw another one that was the same as the one he already had.

Once the cards are cleared, you can wait for others to fire them.

As a result, he missed the opportunity to touch the cards because of his confidence at first. Later, when he found out that he was unlucky and couldn't get the cards he wanted and didn't want to make seven pairs - Ruth won.

Ruth herself was also surprised: "I didn't expect it to be so easy."

Archimedes, who couldn't get the card he wanted: "………………"

Einstein sighed.
