Luo Chen saw a siphon pot in the backstage of the store, thought for a while, and said, "Can you ask you to make a cup of coffee for me?"

The girl said "ah", as if she felt that the other party's request was too presumptuous and too ignorant of the situation. I was already packing up my things and preparing to close the store, but you asked me to make coffee for you to drink?

Luo Chen ignored the others, just looked at the girl with a smile, and said again: "I want to drink handmade coffee for breakfast today, so I'm sorry."

The girl looked at Luo Chen for a while and felt that his smile was irresistible, like the refreshing wind in the mountains, like the warm light of the ancient city. After thinking about it, she nodded in the end: "Okay, please wait..."

Just a cup of coffee doesn't take too long, but it can give you a reason to stay in this small shop for a while.

I have been running a small shop for half a year, and I get up early and go to bed late. I have made tens of thousands of bread and snacks. When I leave, I am always reluctant to leave.

It's good to stay for a while, it's good to stay for a while.

So the girl decided to make this cup of coffee.

She first took a small plastic stool from the store and asked Luo Chen if he wanted to sit.

Luo Chen shook his head and said, "No, I'll stand for a while."

The girl started making coffee.

She skillfully put the siphon pot in water, hooked the filter element, then ignited the fire, and inserted it into the pot obliquely.

When the lower pot is continuously popping up with large bubbles, hold the upper pot straight, shake it left and right and press it slightly down, so that it can be gently stuffed into the lower pot. After inserting it, you will see that the water from the lower pot begins to climb up.

At this time, the girl used a bean grinder to grind the coffee beans.

She grinded her very seriously and carefully, as if she was injecting her feelings every time she swung her hand.

Luo Chen stood beside him and looked at her quietly, feeling that her side face was very beautiful, sweet and quiet at this time.

She was immersed in the world of her handmade work, but she was inadvertently beautiful.

After the water completely rose to the pot, the girl did not feel impatient, but waited calmly, and waited until the bubbles decreased before starting to pour the ground coffee powder.

Pour in the hand-ground coffee powder, use a stirring bamboo spoon to move left and right, push the coffee powder evenly into the water, and then stir in three times.

When the girl stirs, her movements are very gentle, as if she is having a warm love affair.

After three regular stirrings, turn off the heat.

Take a slightly damp rag prepared in advance and gently wrap the side of the lower pot from the side, and do not touch the bottom that has just been baked by the flames of the alcohol lamp to prevent it from rupture.

At this time, Luo Chen saw that the water on the top pot was quickly "pulled" to the bottom pot, and a lot of light brown foam appeared in the bottom pot.

This has nothing to do with the siphon principle, it is a phenomenon similar to "siphon" caused by thermal expansion and contraction.

After the coffee was sucked to the lower pot, the girl held the upper pot with one hand and the lower pot with the other, shaking it gently to separate the two.

Then pour the coffee into a slightly warmed coffee cup and it is finished.

The girl said, "Would you add the sugar and milk yourself, or should I add it for you?"

Luo Chen said, "Help me, you have less sugar."

The girl said "um" and found that the other party was in a peaceful state, which surprised her slightly, just because the coffee in her store was always hand-grinding and brewing. Although she was skillful, the complicated process was placed there, and she asked herself not to cut corners. Therefore, it took a lot of time to brew a cup of coffee, and many people couldn't wait. Because the sales of coffee were not good, she hadn't made coffee for a long time.

In a fast-paced modern society, more and more anxious and impetuous people are more and more anxious, and fewer and fewer people are willing to spend time waiting.

But the young man in front of him was a little different. He was willing to stand at the door of the store and wait for a cup of coffee. There was no trace of impatientness on his face, but he was very leisurely.

Such details made the girl feel inexplicably moved.

She took out her homemade candy cubes and self-adjusted condensed milk, added it to the coffee in a certain proportion, stirred it gently with a coffee spoon, then carried it to the counter, pushed it towards Luo Chen, and said, "Please use it slowly."

Luo Chen nodded, picked up the coffee and sniffed it first.

Well, it smells so good!

In fact, during the coffee making process just now, the aroma has already spread out.

As you heat, boil, stir, add sugar and milk, stir, the aroma changes slightly, but the rich fragrance does not decrease but increases, and it continues to circulate in the space, refreshing the heart.

Luo Chen blew and took a sip.

It is bitter and slightly astringent, but it is very smooth and gradually returns to sweetness.

After taking a few more sips, Luo Chen realized what it means to be unfulfilled and what it means to be in savored.

Coffee is bitter and sour, tender and sour, mellow and sweet, mellow and sweet... just like the taste of life.

Half of it, put down the cup, Luo Chen asked, "Do you still have bread or snacks?"

The girl shook her head: "Sorry, it's gone."

Luo Chen pointed to the bread plate that had not been taken away from the counter and said, "Give me the remaining bread crumbs. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach early in the morning seems to be more irritating to the stomach."

The girl was a little embarrassed: "But this..."

Luo Chen said: "It doesn't matter. You have to throw it away if you don't eat it anyway, so why waste it?"

The girl felt that she had no way to deal with him, so she had to use a small plate to hold some bread crumbs, hand them to Luo Chen, and also a small fork.

Luo Chen stood deep in the alley, drinking coffee and eating bread crumbs, feeling at ease.

I have to say that the bread in this store is indeed delicious. Even if it is just crumbs, its soft and delicate taste is enough to make people move. There is no fancy jam or sweet butter, but the rich and pure wheat aroma has already controlled your taste buds, making you feel that everything is enough, no need for anything else, everything else is redundant.

The mellowness of coffee just complements the oatmeal of bread, sublimating each other, just like a dance of duo, communicating with each other, harmoniously understanding, and performing infinite excitement.

It seems that eating bread crumbs and drinking coffee is a natural match, and it is an unquestionable combination. If you don’t do this, it will be a pity.

Luo Chen felt satisfied after eating the last little bread crumbs and drinking the last drop of coffee, as if the beauty of the day began from now on.

The girl was not impatient at all. She quietly waited for Luo Chen to finish eating and drinking, and asked him if he needed anything else.

When she heard Luo Chen say "No, thank you", she began to pack up the cups and plates.

Luo Chen took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and put it on the counter.

The girl is not polite, so she collects money to make change.

Luo Chen discovered that she only collected her own ten yuan in coffee.

I only charge ten dollars for the coffee I made by myself. This girl really doesn't know how to do business.

But Luo Chen didn't bother with this problem. He prepared the change to find a supplement, and then said, "Thank you for the hospitality. The coffee you made is delicious and the bread is delicious. Let me take the liberty to ask, have you really decided to close the store and go to work?"

The girl said, "Yes, otherwise what else can it do?"

There was a little helpless in his tone.

Luo Chen asked again: "If you were asked to choose, day after day, do the same job every day, and see your head's life at a glance, and do what you like every day, and have a new life every day, what would you choose?"

The girl looked at him and said, "I want to choose the latter, but reality makes me choose the former."

Luo Chen said: "Okay, now there is an opportunity in front of you. You can continue to make pastries and coffee. You don't have to care about the store rent or the profit or loss. Just do what you like and what you are good at. Are you willing?"

The girl said: "Where is this happening in the world, unless I am dreaming."

Luo Chen smiled and said, "It's not a dream. Our company needs a pastry chef and a barista. You can do both, which is very suitable, so we need you."

"Ah?" The girl was a little confused.

The recruitment was too sudden and too abrupt.

Besides, the man in front of him is too young, more like a college student than a company boss.

Seeing her cute and cute look, Luo Chen felt very cute and smiled and said, "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Luo Chen, from Yunzhou. I just founded a company called Yunchen Agriculture Co., Ltd. There is a farm under the company. There is a pastry chef and barista in the farm. I admire your skills very much. I hope you can help us make the farm more colorful... Although the distance between Shencheng and Yunzhou is a bit far, you don't have to worry, the company will solve your accommodation problem."

The girl was still a little overwhelmed.

Luo Chen thought she was wary of her heart and was afraid of being deceived.

This is understandable.

Then he said, "In this way, I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel nearby. I went back to find a fax machine and asked the company's people to fax the company introduction and relevant certificates. When you see that, you will know that we are not a fake company. In addition, you can also go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to inquire..."

The girl waved her hand and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, I just... you said it a little suddenly, I need to consider..."

Luo Chen nodded.

He took out his cell phone, called An Zhili, and asked her to take photos of the company introduction and related certificates into photos and send them through WeChat.

Soon, the photo was received.

He handed it to the girl and said, "I just hope that your talent will not be wasted, and that your life will not be regretful or regretful."

The girl looked at the complete licenses and licenses in the photo, not like a fake company, and was quite touched by Luo Chen's words.

I just still feel suddenly and want more time to think about it.

Seeing that she was silent and not angry, Luo Chen smiled and said, "I won't force you, you can consider it. If you want, contact me anytime. Oh, by the way, add a WeChat message."

After joining WeChat friends, Luo Chen left, and the girl stood there with her cell phone in a daze. She was fighting with herself in thought.
